NEWS & NOTES
Ari	Reggie Swinton is apparently still adjusting to his new team. He looked out of sync with his teammates' blocking against the special-teams-challenged Rams.
Atl	Allen Rossum tweaked his hammy in practice and was inactive for the week 2 game at Seattle.
Buf	Terrence McGee was in form against the Bucs, averaging 35.0 yards on kickoff returns.
Car	Steve Smith had two big punt returns against the Patriots called back by penalties: a 27 yarder and a 77 yard TD.
Chi	The Bears were significantly better on returns this week. Jerry Azumah was back returning kickoffs (33.5 average), and Bobby Wade had a 73 yard punt return for a TD.
Dal	Rookie Tyson Thompson was active for the Monday night game, and paid immediate dividends averaging 31.3 yards on kickoff returns
Den	Darrent Williams had a 61 yard TD on a punt return negated by penalty when his teammates entered the field of play to celebrate before he crossed the goal line.
Hou	Vernand Morency is getting plenty of kickoff return opportunities, but is only averaging 20.2 yards. Maybe J.J. Moses wasn't so bad after all. The Texans are hoping rookie Jerome Mathis gets healthy quickly.
Ind	Top KR Dominic Rhodes could miss this week's game with a bruised shoulder. Ran Carthon will probably replace him.
Jac	Rookie Chad Owens got his chance and blew it. He was activated for the week two game, but fumbled two punt returns and mishandles another in the first half. He was cut on Monday, although he was resigned to the practice squad on Tuesday. Rookie Alvin Pearman will handle punt returns.
KC	Dante Hall had an 83 yard punt return for a TD against the Raiders called back due to an illegal block.
NO	KR/PR Michael Lewis could be headed to the IR list with a knee injury. Donte' Stallworth is the backup PR, and Aaron Stecker the backup KR.
Oak	A muffed punt return by Chris Carr led to the Chiefs first score.
StL	Despite a focus on special teams during the off-season, the Rams are again struggling in the return game again this year.
TB	KR Torrie Cox was inactive for week 2, after getting his second DUI of the year earlier in the week. PR Mark Jones also handled kickoff returns for the game. Cox is expected to play in week 3.
Ten	Courtney Roby has done well on kickoff returns so far this year, however he injured his toe in the game against the Ravens. If he can't play this week, Pacman Jones will probably return kickoffs.
