Feeley dislocated his right middle finger during the game on Sunday, but continued play after a few snaps passed while he was on the sidelines getting the finger yanked back into joint.

Running Backs

Arizona's Emmitt Smith suffered a left big toe/left ankle injury early in the game on Sunday and did not return to action. The early indications are that Smith will miss at least a week due to his injuries. Troy Hambrick went on IR Wednesday due to a torn foot ligament, and is done for the season so it'll be Larry Croom and Josh Scobey at RB.

Atlanta's FB Justin Griffith missed the game on Sunday due to his injured knee.

Baltimore's Jamal Lewis' ankle injury is worse than initially diagnosed last week, and he missed the game on Sunday as a result of the problem Watch this week for more news on how long he'll be out as some are speculating it could be a couple of weeks. Nothing is definitive as of today though. (Chester Taylor was the starter in Lewis' absence. The team got drilled by New England 24-3). Musa Smith is out due to surgery to repair a badly broken leg.

Pittsburgh's Duce Staley missed the game on Sunday due to his injured hamstring - he was held out after being listed as questionable on Friday. Jerome Bettis had his 4th 100 yard rushing game in relief of Staley, allowing the Steelers the luxury of allowing Staley to return to 100% before inserting him back into the starting lineup. The rough field conditions in Pittsburgh were a factor.

Tennessee's Chris Brown was active on Sunday, but did not play due to his lingering turf-toe injury. Antowain Smith ran well in relief of Brown, bowling over several defenders with his bulldozing style.

Washington's Clinton Portis suffered what is characterized as "a minor pinched nerve" in the game on Sunday. The injury is not considered serious at this time - but it could be a small factor in why Portis yielded carries to Ladell Betts Sunday.
