Week 4 Players in the News

QB Kurt Warner (ARI) is expected to sit in week four in order to rest his groin, and there is talk that he could miss up to a month. Josh McCown will start in his place. That should spur ticket sales in Mexico City. [Tue Sep 27, 5:54 PM]

QB Rex Grossman (CHI) is still out with his broken ankle and will miss another 8-11 weeks. [Tue Sep 27, 5:51 PM]

QB Kyle Orton (CHI) does not need to be looking over his shoulder. According to coach Lovie Smith, the only way we'll see backup Jeff Blake is if Orton is injured. "Jeff will play when there's an injury," Smith said. "Kyle is our quarterback. He's going to get all the reps. He's not looking over his shoulder." [Tue Sep 27, 9:56 PM]

QB Brooks Bollinger (NYJ) is set to start for week four, but the team doesn't sound too confident. We expect Vinny Testaverde to be the guy soon. Said coach Herman Edwards, "Well, the plan right now is for Brooks Bollinger to be the starter (in week four). That's the plan. We'll see where Brooks is at. We'll wait and see. You got to let the poor guy play, see what he can do." [Tue Sep 27, 5:47 PM]

QB Jay Fiedler (NYJ) may be able to return to action this season, but the status of his shoulder is still very much in question. [Wed Sep 28, 8:22 PM]

QB Chad Pennington (NYJ) will miss the remainder of the season with a torn rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder according to most sources (including Jets head coach Herman Moore) He's currently in Alabama receiving a second opinion.

[Tue Sep 27, 5:51 PM]

QB Vinny Testaverde (NYJ) worked with the second team in Wednesday’s practice. The team still plans to start Brooks Bollinger this week but we look for Testaverde to be the starter sooner rather than later. [Wed Sep 28, 8:31 PM]

QB Vinny Testaverde (NYJ) signed with the Jets today. Brooks Bollinger is set to start this week but we look for Testaverde to be the guy there sooner rather than later. Said coach Herman Edwards, "He's a veteran guy, that's why he's been in the league for so long. He has a gift. He still has the ability. Vinny can get up at three in the morning and still throw one out, can cut as good as anybody in the League. He can do that. It is just the way, he's born that way. It's just something that he can do." [Tue Sep 27, 9:05 PM]

QB Donovan McNabb (PHI) has improved each day according to coach Andy Reid. He will start as normal. "It looks like he's gotten a little bit better each day," Reid said after Friday's practice. "He ran around pretty good today. He's a pretty tough guy," Reid said. "Players like to play, and that's how he is. You see that a lot with offensive and defensive linemen. When they're banged up they don't say much and just sort of move on. And he kind of conducts himself like an offensive or defensive lineman." [Sat Oct 1, 8:39 PM]

QB Donovan McNabb (PHI) practiced on Friday and is expected to start in week four. [Fri Sep 30, 10:03 PM]

QB Donovan McNabb (PHI) does have a sports hernia, but he is expected to play through the injury. Head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said McNabb has a chronic lower abdominal strain, but noted: “this is something you can play with.” McNabb took part in Wednesday's morning walk-through and said afterward that he's confident in his abilities to lead the team. “I don't have any concerns right now,” McNabb said. “It's one of those things where you have to realize some days you'll feel fine and some days you won't.”

McNabb will eventually need surgery to correct the sports hernia but plans to wait until the season is over as he obviously does not want to miss the two to three months it would take to recover. [Wed Sep 28, 8:26 PM]

QB Donovan McNabb (PHI) has a shin contusion to add to his long list of injuries. Along with the shin, he's battling the abdominal strain (which may be a possible sports hernia) as well as the chest bruise. He's expected to battle through these injuries and start this week. [Tue Sep 27, 9:32 PM]

QB Philip Rivers (SD) wants to play and is tired of sitting the bench. “That’s not something I want to do or I’m going to do,” says Rivers. “I’m going to get my shot at some point. Whenever it is, I’ll get to where I want to go. Whether it’s at some point this year or next year, I’m going to be a starter on some team. That’s what drives me.” [Wed Sep 28, 8:29 PM]

QB Steve McNair (TEN) partially participated in Thursday’s practice to give his sore foot some more rest. He is expected to start as normal in week four. "I just wanted to rest it for a day (Wednesday). I came out there, did something today and felt pretty good. Tomorrow I'll do more, probably all the team (drills). I just wanted to rest. I didn't want to take a chance of going out and getting it even more sore," McNair said.

[Thu Sep 29, 9:42 PM]

RB Steven Jackson (STL) practiced again on Friday and is expected to start in week four.

RB Steven Jackson (STL) practiced some on Thursday and will play in week four despite his bruised sternum. "Obviously, he's going to play," coach Mike Martz said. "He's going to be hurting during the week, and it's going to be hard for him to move around for a while, but as each week goes by he'll get better and better." Steven Jackson said this: "It’s the type of pain that probably hurts more running, just the hard breathing, the panting of the breath, things of that sort. Blocking, no not really.

"I definitely feel like as the game goes on I do get a lot stronger, especially in the fourth quarter,” said Williams. “That’s when it all comes down to who wants it. Everybody’s tired, everybody’s sore, everybody’s beat up, so that’s when I feel like I can really do my damage.” [Tue Sep 27, 8:57 PM]

RB Chris Brown (TEN) says he's ready for whatever the coaches give him. "I don't know how it is going to work now, but if coach asks me to carry it 30 times, I'll carry it 30 times. I am not going to complain. I'll carry it as many times as they'll give it to me.''

[Sat Oct 1, 8:43 PM]

RB Chris Brown (TEN) will likely carry a full load against the Colts. "He believes that if he can get on a roll and get moving, then we are going to keep feeding him the ball. That was our approach going into the game last week. This is really no different than last year," coach Jeff Fisher said.

[Thu Sep 29, 10:13 PM]

Said coach Jeff Fisher, "We’re probably going to make a roster move. Obviously, we have Damien Nash on the roster right now. Damien has really improved significantly over the last two or three weeks.

WR Peter Warrick (SEA) did not practice on Thursday and remains iffy to play in week four due to his injured hamstring. [Thu Sep 29, 9:55 PM]

WR Arnaz Battle (SF) still remains a game time decision. The trouble is that with the game being a Sunday night start, we won't know for certain until after most lineups are set. We're hearing that he'll start but unless you're out of options, we'd probably look elsewhere just because of the risk involved. [Sat Oct 1, 8:30 PM]

WR Isaac Bruce (STL) did not practice on Thursday but may still see action this week. Coach Mike Martz said the veteran Bruce won't have to practice every day to play, “If it wasn’t Isaac, then you have to really watch him and rep him,” Martz said. “If Isaac’s ready to go, he’ll be ready to go, but I’ll talk to him everyday and see how he is.” The capsule surrounding the toe was not torn so that's a positive. “It’s kind of how he feels,” Martz said. “The capsule was not torn. There was nothing torn, just swollen. We’ll just see where he is. Now Isaac could line up on Sunday and play without…it’s just where he is. We’re not going to worry about it right now.”

[Thu Sep 29, 9:29 PM]

We brought him in this morning, looked at him, thought we'd give him a chance at practice. He did, and we'll see where we go from there. (But) this doesn't mean he's going to play on Monday night. To see him out there (today) run, catch some balls, block, do the things that the tight end does, that part is encouraging," Sherman said.
