duties this weekend.  It'll be the first time in five years that Sherman
will call all the plays. OC Tom Rossley underwent emergency angioplasty on
Tuesday and likely will not make the trip to Detroit.

"I make my play calls in the game," Sherman said. "[Rossley] is the
coordinator, he makes most of them, but I put my plays in there when I
want to call something. It's been that way, so I don't see a big change
other than doing more."



ALL OF THE NEWS

Quarterbacks

QB J.P. Losman (Buf) is still out with his broken leg, but he is close to
returning to practice.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB J.P. Losman (Buf) got some practice snaps 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 public service announcements
concerning the Pat Tillman Foundation that will be read during games.

practice for personal reasons.  He should be back for Friday's practice
and start this weekend.

*** SATURDAY UPDATE *** QB Brett Favre (GB) practiced on Friday and will
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 expected to start as
normal this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB David Carr (Hou) practiced on Friday and will
start this weekend.

start this weekend.

Feeley can not play.

QB Tom Brady (NE) practiced on Wednesday and will play this weekend
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
known whether Maddox will regain the starting job when healthy.  When HC
Bill Cowher was asked about the situation, he replied with "I am just
going to laugh at that question, at this point."

QB Marc Bulger (StL) should play this weekend despite his sore shoulder.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** QB Marc Bulger (StL) practiced on Thursday and
should play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** QB Marc Bulger (StL) practiced on Friday and will
play this weekend. His bruised shoulder seems fine. "He needed to throw
yesterday and he said he felt great today," Coach Mike Martz said. "He's
back to normal. I was very concerned originally but there's no effect at
all -- he had all the zip."

QB Jason Garrett (TB) has been signed by the team.

QB Brian Griese (TB) will be the team's starting QB this weekend.

Running Backs

RB Josh Scobey (Ari) is still out with his injured knee.

RB Jamal Lewis (Bal) will miss weeks seven and eight due to his NFL
suspension.

RB Travis Henry (Buf) did not practice on Wednesday but should play this
weekend despite his injured foot.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Travis Henry (Buf) did not practice again 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. Willis McGahee
is ready if Henry can't go: "Yeah, I've worked a little harder now, just
hoping to get my chance," McGahee said. "Sooner or later it's going to be
here. I'm not going to rush it. I'm not going to worry about it."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Travis Henry (Buf) practiced on Friday but is
still listed as a game-time decision.  It would be a surprise to see Henry
sit out this weekend, but Willis McGahee could eat into his carries a bit.

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.

It's certainly not a foregone conclusion as both Davis and coach John Fox
are being very non committal. "When DeShaun wasn't hurt, I wanted to be in
there anyway," Davis said. "I want to get in all the games. But right now
we just have to wait and see."

He said his knee feels much better through two days of practice this week.
"It was good," said Davis after Thursday's session. "I moved a lot better
than I did last week. I'm pretty comfortable about that. [The swelling] is
down. I'm just taking it one day at a time. The trainers are doing a great
job of getting me prepared and ready to get back on the field."

Asked how he thought Davis looked Thursday, head coach John Fox offered
the same one-word answer he did this time last week: "Good." Pressed as to
whether Davis will play against the Eagles this Sunday, Fox replied, "He
is questionable. ..."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Stephen Davis (Car) practiced all week but is
still listed as questionable on the injury report.  He could be a
game-time decision, but without DeShaun Foster, Davis is really needed on
the field. He seemed aggravated when asked if he was prepared to handle a
heavy rushing load: "Am I prepared? I've done it for the last seven or
eight years. Why shouldn't I be prepared?" Davis said. "You ask me that
question like I'm a rookie or something. Yeah, I'm prepared. Sure. The
thing is I can't go out and worry about the injury. I just have to go out
and play my game and take it one play at a time."

You have to remember however, this is the guy who said it would take a
hurricane or tornado to keep him from playing last week. So take this with
multiple grains of salt. Bottom line is that it looks like he'll play, but
be very careful and if you have other, safer options, give them strong
consideration.

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. When
Droughns was asked if his effort last week would earn a starting job this
week, Droughns said, "I don't know about that. I'm sure it'll get me some
carries."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Quentin Griffin (Den) practiced again on Friday
and looks to be 100%.  He will play this weekend, but how much has not
been determined. Both Griffin and Droughns have worked with the first
team. Predicting what Mike Shanahan will do is dangerous business.

With the success of Droughns last week, we think he'll see significant
carries in the game. Shanahan was clearly impressed with Droughns awarding
him a game ball in the locker room following Sunday's win. However,
Shanahan has also been a very staunch supporter of Quentin Griffin. We
expect to see both backs Sunday used in situations that highlight their
strengths: Droughns is the more powerful runner while Griffin is the
quicker change of pace back. Understand though that it's risky to depend
heavily on either one as their roles won't be revealed for certain until
the game is underway.

RB Kevin Jones (Det) has begun running again but should sit again this
weekend. "(Kevin Jones) is out here in pads. He was very limited,"
Mariucci said. "He stretched well. We did individual drills. He did 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.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Kevin Jones (Det) partially participated in
Friday's practice and looks like a game-time decision for this weekend's
game.

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

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

should play this weekend.

weekend despite his injured calf.

Thursday and should be available this weekend if needed.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Moe Williams (Min) practiced on Friday and should
play this weekend.

RB Corey Dillon (NE) did not practice on Wednesday but should play this
weekend despite his injured foot.  "I don't think I'm inclined on speaking
about the injury," Dillon said after Sunday's game. "It was a coaching
call. Me, being who I am, I have to follow the rules and that's where we
left it. I feel good."

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Corey Dillon (NE) missed significant portions
of practice again Thursday. Dillon is still questionable for this week's
game. As always, the Patriots are saying very little about this injury.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Corey Dillon (NE) partially participated in
Friday's practice and is still listed as questionable for this weekend's
game.  Dillon says he will be a game-time decision. "We'll see what
happens," said Dillon, who leads the team with 84 carries for 417 yards in
his first season as a Patriot. "And that's all I can tell you. We'll
see."

Backup Kevin Faulk expects Dillon to be out there in his normal role: "You
know, as a competitor, Corey is going to find any old way he can to get
out there and perform for the team," said Faulk. "To help the team win. If
my role increases, fine. But I know what my role is, it's to back up
Corey. Third downs, returning kicks, whatever it is."

Michael Felger from the Boston Herald added: "Dillon has not appeared to
walk with any limp since suffering the injury, nor has he been burdened by
noticeable braces or wraps. And while he was held out of some team drills
the last two days, he was still on the field taking handoffs from the
quarterbacks."

RB Deuce McAllister (NO) practiced on Wednesday and should play this
weekend despite his injured ankle.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Deuce McAllister (NO) practiced on Thursday and
should start this weekend. "I'm not 100 (percent), but I'm getting there,"
McAllister said. Still, he should be better than he was last week and that
was plenty good.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB Deuce McAllister (NO) practiced all week and will
start this weekend.

RB Derrick Ward (NYG) has been signed by the team.

RB Curtis Martin (NYJ) is feeling the effects of being on pace to 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.

RB Justin Fargas (Oak) did not practice on Wednesday and could sit this
weekend with his injured toe and leg.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB Justin Fargas (Oak) did not practice again on
Thursday and could sit this weekend.

and will most likely sit this weekend.

take it easy in practice this week, but he will almost certainly play this
weekend.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** RB LaDainian Tomlinson (SD) ran some individual
drills on Thursday, but he did not practice with the team.  He is expected
to play this weekend.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** RB LaDainian Tomlinson (SD) practiced on Friday and
will start this weekend. Tomlinson has pulled himself out of the past two
games because of the injury. But neither Tomlinson nor head coach Marty
Schottenheimer were concerned about the star running back's ailment. "It's
cool," Tomlinson said.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** FB Joey Goodspeed (StL) practiced on Thursday and
should play this weekend.

meeting with the NFL so that he can be reinstated into the league.  He
says he wants to be able to play this season. Whether the league will
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."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** WR Drew Haddad (Buf) has been signed by the team
from their practice squad.

WR Bobby Shaw (Buf) has been told to clear out his locker and wait to be
traded or released. "We felt like we could be more productive at that
position and we're going to move on," said head coach Mike Mularkey.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** WR Bobby Shaw (Buf) has been released by the
team.

WR Karl Hankton (Car) practiced on Wednesday and should play this weekend

play this weekend.

WR Steve Smith (Car) is still out with his broken leg.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** WR Chad Johnson (Cin) shipped a bottle of Pepto
Bismol to each of the starting DBs in Cleveland because (as Johnson
said) "they're going to get sick to their stomachs trying to cover me."
Browns DE Kenard Lang was not impressed: "It's all fun and humor, but
personally on that first play I'd get a flag," Lang said. "I'd jump on
him.  Not saying to hurt him or nothing, but to let him know that this is
how I eat, this is my game, this is how I live.  Point blank.  It's all
fun and all, but say hypothetically speaking he does well. Everybody would
be laughing at you.  'Oh he sent you Pepto Bismol, and he still whipped
your butt?'  No, that ain't happening."

WR Peter Warrick (Cin) did not practice on Wednesday and should sit this
weekend with his injured shin.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** WR Peter Warrick (Cin) will not play this
weekend.

WR Roy Williams (Det) did not practice on Wednesday and could sit this
weekend with his injured ankle.  However, Williams is optimistic he'll be
able to play. "It feels pretty good, I'm walking pretty good. As 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 trying to get him so he
can move around tomorrow straight ahead and then the next day some more."

Consider Az-Zahir Hakim and Tai Streets as temporary replacements for
Williams, with David Kircus and Reggie Swinton as players who could move
into backup roles.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** WR Roy Williams (Det) was very limited in practice
Thursday but could still play this weekend. Coach Steve Mariucci wants to
see how his cutting ability comes along over the next couple of days.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** WR Roy Williams (Det) did not practice on Friday and
is a game-time decision for this weekend's game. Said coach Steve
Mariucci, "[Williams] ran more. ... He ran strides faster, moved laterally
a little bit. Is he ready yet? No, but he's making progress. He's getting
closer. That's going to be a game-time decision."

WR Robert Ferguson (GB) practiced on Wednesday and should play this
weekend despite his injured knee.

*** THURSDAY UPDATE *** WR Robert Ferguson (GB) suffered an ankle sprain
in Thursday's practice.  He has been listed as probable for this weekend's
game. It apparently looked serious in practice. "I thought he was done for
the year the way he fell," said fellow receiver and returner Antonio
Chatman. "It looked like his leg got caught up in the turf (as) he just
tried to run forward."

Ferguson already was on the injury report this week as probable with a
sore knee. The ankle injury was added to the report after practice
Thursday, but Ferguson remained listed as probable for Sunday. "I'm not
counting 'Fergy' out because he's always a guy who finds a way to get back
in the lineup," said receivers coach Ray Sherman. "So, we'll see."

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** WR Robert Ferguson (GB) did not practice on Friday
and has been downgraded to questionable.  It is almost always a bad sign
to see players downgraded on Friday so it looks like Ferguson will sit
this weekend.

*** SATURDAY UPDATE *** WR Kelvin Rogers (GB) was signed by the team from
their practice squad.

WR Javon Walker (GB) did not practice on Wednesday but should play this

WR Tim Carter (NYG) has been lost for the remainder of the season with an

weekend with his injured hamstring.  His injury is more serious than

Thursday and did not practice with the team.  HC Herman Edwards says Moss
is "iffy" for this weekend's game.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** WR Santana Moss (NYJ) did not practice all week and
will be a game-time decision for this weekend.

*** SATURDAY UPDATE *** WR Santana Moss (NYJ) will sit this weekend

Gruden, but there doesn't appear to be much movement from either side as
McCardell has returned home to Houston.

*** FRIDAY UPDATE *** WR Drew Bennett (Ten) confirmed he's been playing
with two broken ribs suffered earlier this year. "I can still feel it,"
said Bennett, who has received pain-killing injections and worn a flak
jacket for each game. "My rib cage is tight, and I got a pretty solid shot
on Monday night (to the ribs). But it's a lot better than it was.

"At first, coughing, turning, just about anything definitely affected me.
But with the adrenaline of the game it doesn't bother me too much in the
game."

duties this weekend.  It'll be the first time in five years that Sherman
will call all the plays. OC Tom Rossley underwent emergency angioplasty on
Tuesday and likely will not make the trip to Detroit.

"I make my play calls in the game," Sherman said. "[Rossley] is the
coordinator, he makes most of them, but I put my plays in there when I
want to call something. It's been that way, so I don't see a big change
other than doing more."

NSA Condoleezza Rice (USA) visited Cleveland Browns practice on Thursday
