Thursday's practice for personal reasons. He should be back for

know that this is how I eat, this is my game, this is how I live.

in on Thursday but is still out a few more weeks with his broken leg.
QB Jeff Garcia (Cle) took issue with a suggestion on Monday from HC
Butch Davis that he (Garcia) is skittish in the pocket. Garcia fired
back Wednesday saying, "until he (Davis) plays the quarterback
position then he can understand where I am coming from." Davis added
that his comments were taken out of context.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Jake Plummer (Den) will no longer wear the
#40 on his helmet to honor his former Cardinals teammate Pat Tillman.
In a deal with the NFL, the #40 will be displayed near the play clock
in INVESCO Field and Plummer will record PSAs concerning the Pat
Tillman Foundation that will be read during games.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Brett Favre (GB) was excused from
Thursday's practice for personal reasons. He should be back for
Friday's practice and start this weekend.
QB David Carr (Hou) did not practice on Wednesday but should play this
weekend despite his injured ankle. "David does a good job mentally
when he's not practicing," head coach Dom Capers said. "You obviously
want your starters in practice, but he's to the point in our offense
that if he does a good job mentally on Wednesday and Thursday and
takes all his repetitions on Friday, he does well in the games."
Remember that Carr missed the same practices last week due to a mild
foot sprain and came back Sunday to have the best game of his career
against the Vikings.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB David Carr (Hou) did not practice on
Thursday. This was expected, and he will go on Friday. He is

despite his injured shoulder. Note that Brady has been listed with
this injury every week. It is not something that should be of
concern.
QB Jim Miller (NE) practiced on Wednesday and should play this weekend
despite his injured shoulder.
QB Rich Gannon (Oak) is still out with the broken vertebra in his neck.
QB Tommy Maddox (Pit) is still out with his injured elbow. It is not

should play this weekend.

on Thursday, but he has a history of not practicing but still being
able to play. The team has not ruled him out so we aren't either.
RB Stephen Davis (Car) practiced on Wednesday and could play this
weekend despite his injured knee. The team obviously needs Davis to
play with DeShaun Foster out. "He was close last week (against
Denver), but he was a notch below where we wanted him to be," Fox
said. "This week, he's going to be one week closer."
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Stephen Davis (Car) practiced again on
Thursday and looks closer to being back on the field this weekend.
RB DeShaun Foster (Car) will miss 6-12 weeks with his broken collarbone.
RB Joey Harris (Car) was one of the most pleasant surprises in
training camp this year, rushing for 32 yards and catching one pass
for 11 more in the preseason. Harris was signed off the practice squad
Wednesday and expects to see action this Sunday at Philadelphia.
RBs Damien Anderson, Brandon Bennett, Doug Chapman, Skip Hicks, &
Stacey Mack (FAs) worked out for the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday. The
team is leaning toward Joey Harris however who they promoted from
their practice squad.
RB Julius Jones (Dal) is still out with his injured shoulder.
RB Quentin Griffin (Den) practiced on Wednesday and should play this
weekend despite his injured ankle. "He practiced full speed today,"
head coach Mike Shanahan said. "He looks close to 100 percent.
Hopefully there's no setback, but it sure didn't look like there would
be (based on) the way he practiced today."
According to head coach Shanahan, both Griffin and Reuben Droughns
should see playing time, with the starter handling the bulk of the
load. Obviously, this will be closely watched all week to see who gets
the start.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Quentin Griffin (Den) practiced again on
Thursday and should be able to play this weekend. It is still not
known if Griffin or Reuben Droughns will see the lion share of
carries.

some of those routes and some of those things, not full speed, but
much better than last week. At least he's out here."
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Kevin Jones (Det) practiced again on
Thursday and did more than he did on Wednesday. He could play this
weekend, but the key will be to see how his ankle responds to the
heavy Thursday workload.

this weekend with his injured hamstring.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Cory Schlesinger (Det) did not practice on
Thursday and should sit this weekend.

that's where we left it. I feel good."

weekend despite his injured ankle.
*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Deuce McAllister (NO) practiced on Thursday
and should start this weekend.
RB Derrick Ward (NYG) has been signed by the team.

break the NFL single season carries mark with 427. Martin remarked
after last weekend's game that he was sore and took a pounding, but he
did add that he would bounce back by midweek. The Jets should
slightly ease the load on Martin.

on Thursday and could sit this weekend.

allow him to is a totally different story.
Wide Receivers
WR Anquan Boldin (Ari) is expected to return to action on either
October 31st or November 7th (the latter is more likely). "He's done
a great job working extremely hard on rehab," said HC Denny Green.
"When a player puts the kind of time and effort and dedication in to
getting where he's at, you just don't hold him back because of a
timeframe. If he's ready to go and he wants to go and he feels like
he's supposed to go, then he'll go."

far as the game goes, we'll just see what happens," Williams said.
Williams spent most of the day Wednesday rehabbing the injury. "I'm
hoping (he will play)," said HC Steve Mariucci. "We're not just
resting him, we're rehabbing him three, four or five times a day just
