Billick was noncommittal about McNair's future with the Ravens, but said the possibility exists that McNair could play again. "I think he can come back next year," Billick said. "That's Steve's choice, where he is in his career and what he wants to do going forward. He's dealt with injuries before, certainly, and this is not one that has a long prognosis for rehab."

*** Friday Update *** QB Rex Grossman (CHI) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and will not require surgery. The early fear was that a ligament was torn. While an MRI was being performed as a follow-up, the belief is that it is an injury he can recover from in three to four weeks.

*** Thursday Update *** QB Matt Schaub (HOU) did not practice on Thursday. HC Gary Kubiak said Wednesday he doubts quarterback Matt Schaub will be ready for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers because of a dislocated left shoulder. That would leave Sage Rosenfels the starter.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Matt Schaub (HOU) did not practice on Wednesday.

QB Matt Schaub (HOU) is questionable for week 14 with a dislocated non-throwing shoulder. "I just know that if we went and played today there's no chance," HC Gary Kubiak said. "So I would say it's not good at this point."

*** Friday Update *** QB Brodie Croyle (KC) The Chiefs declared Brodie Croyle to be their starting quarterback for Sunday's game at Denver after he practiced for the second straight day. "The last two days, everything has gone pretty well," said Croyle, who took a knee to the back two weeks ago against Oakland and missed last week's game against San Diego. "I'm ready to get back out there and get playing." Croyle practiced fully again on Friday.

*** Thursday Update *** QB Brodie Croyle (KC) practiced fully on Thursday.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Brodie Croyle (KC) practiced fully on Wednesday. HC Herm Edwards said that Croyle is questionable for Sunday's game at Denver. "If he can't protect himself or if he feels he's not mobile enough to get out of the way, there's no need to play him this week. You don't want to put him in there wounded. That's not fair to him," Edwards said.

*** Friday Update *** QB Tyler Thigpen (KC) was placed on Injured Reserve after tearing his MCL in practice. His season is over. According to the Kansas City Star, he won't need surgery and the team feels he should be available when the Chiefs begin offseason practices in the spring.

*** Thursday Update *** QB Daunte Culpepper (OAK) did not practice on Thursday. He allegedly injured his quad last week when he challenged cornerback Stanford Routt to a foot race. He probably should have picked a different guy as Routt was a 200 meter sprinter in college. He finished 3rd in the 2003 NCAA outdoor meet.

*** Friday Update *** QB Marc Bulger (STL) partially participated in Friday's practice and is officially questionable to play this weekend. However, Bulger reportedly did not feel well after Thursday's meetings, and multiple sources say he will not play this weekend.

"Marc had really what I thought were two very good practices Wednesday and Thursday, but that's the objective part," coach Scott Linehan said. "I guess the subjective part is he didn't feel really good after (Thursday) afternoon's meetings.

"Because of that, it puts some questions in my mind as to whether or not he should be cleared to play. . . .We're not going to put a guy out on the field if there's any doubt whatsoever when it comes to these kinds of injuries. Or any injuries."

*** Thursday Update *** QB Marc Bulger (STL) won't clear himself to start just yet despite passing a neuropsych test Tuesday, which cleared him for practice. Asked whether he's definitely starting Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, Bulger said, "I wouldn't say that. I haven't been able to do anything for the last 10 days. That was just to get me back on the practice field." HC Scott Linehan said Bulger will play assuming he makes it through a week of practice without any side effects. Otherwise, reserve QB Brock Berlin will start.

*** Wednesday Update *** QB Marc Bulger (STL) practiced fully on Wednesday.

QB Marc Bulger (STL) received some good news on Tuesday when he was able to pass his neuropysch exam (which he failed last week). He has been cleared to practice Wednesday and unless he experiences some complications later in the week, he will start against Cincinnati.

*** Friday Update *** QB Jeff Garcia (TB) partially participated in Friday's practice and is questionable to play this weekend. HC Jon Gruden said there was a possibility Garcia would play on Sunday. "There is a chance of that, but we're going to wait until we get to Houston and see how the weather is, see how he feels," Gruden said. "It's a day-to-day operation right now, but he is getting better, and I can only make the decision on Sunday when we get to the stadium."

*** Thursday Update *** QB Jeff Garcia (TB) partially participated in Thursday's practice. The team is encouraged with his progress. "He took a lot more snaps today and we'll see how he feels tomorrow," coach Jon Gruden said.

Gruden said on Wednesday that he wanted to see how the quarterback bounced back from a day of limited work. Gruden seemed comfortable with what he saw.

"I think so," Gruden said. "He's certainly getting better."

QB Jeff Garcia (TB) suffered a deep back bruise more than a week ago in the game against the Washington Redskins. HC Jon Gruden said there was a possibility that Garcia could play Sunday against the Houston Texans. Gruden also said that Garcia had no structural damage in his back and vehemently denied an ESPN report that Garcia's injury was more serious. "He's already missed one week of practice," Gruden said. "We'll just take it day by day."

*** Friday Update *** QB Jason Campbell (WAS) suffered a dislocated knee cap on Thursday night. Campbell will not need surgery and will not start at the Giants, but said there is no timetable beyond that. Most reports, however, say Campbell is out for the remainder of the season.

Running Back

RB Jerious Norwood (ATL) could become more of a focal point in the Falcons offense according to HC Bobby Petrino. "We have to get Jerious touches," Petrino said. "When you watch the video, he's the most explosive player out there for us. His speed shows up. He makes big plays, whether it's catching the ball or running the ball; so it is a situation where we have to get him more touches one way or the other."

*** Friday Update *** RB Justin Green (BAL) practiced fully on Friday and is expected to play this weekend.

"He practiced about like he did yesterday," said coach Dick Jauron on Friday. "So we're a lot more optimistic."

"It's just steadily improving," said Lynch Friday. "I feel good about it."

"We've got him in that 50-50 category," said Jauron of Lynch's listing as questionable. "Again we'll monitor him (Saturday) and see how he feels. Going into the game we'll check him out and see how he's feeling on game day, but I feel good about him."

*** Thursday Update *** RB Marshawn Lynch (BUF) partially participated in Thursday's practice. Lynch's ankle responded well to his first day of practice Wednesday, practicing a second straight day, while getting the majority of first team reps. "He was limited, but only really by definition," said HC Dick Jauron. "Normally he'd get more reps. Before he got hurt he got more reps than he got today, but he was in the normal rotation pretty much. He just didn't get as many (reps) as he normally gets." Jauron feels good about Lynch's chances of returning to the lineup for the first time in a month. "He looked good," Jauron said. "He tolerated yesterday's practice pretty well, so we're optimistic."

*** Wednesday Update *** RB Marshawn Lynch (BUF) took part in a good portion of Wednesday's practice on the seriously sprained ankle he suffered Nov. 11. As to whether Lynch will play against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Lynch is optimistic. "That's the goal, but if it doesn't happen this week then next week for sure," Lynch said. HC Dick Jauron said the team will see how the ankle responds in Thursday's practice in pads. Wednesday's workout was without shoulder pads. Jauron stressed Lynch will not play if the team thinks there is a distinct risk of him re-injuring the ankle.

The Broncos averaged a league high 148.3 yards rushing while Henry was out. "It's a nice problem to have," HC Mike Shanahan said. "Whenever you have three healthy guys back, you're excited."

RB Travis Henry (DEN) won the appeal of his 12-month drug suspension and will be able to finish out the remainder of the season. Henry claimed the positive drug test for marijuana was because he was a victim of secondhand smoke. Faced with the possibility of getting a year-long suspension because he's been a past offender, Henry even took his case to a federal court. After waiting for a ruling, he was notified Tuesday afternoon he won his appeal. "Travis Henry will remain in the substance abuse program, must continue to adhere to all aspects of it, but will not be suspended following his appeal," the NFL announced in a statement Tuesday.

*** Friday Update *** RB Ahman Green (HOU) The Texans have placed Ahman Green on injured reserve today, ending his season. Green injured his knee in Week 1, and was never healthy enough to finish a game this season. "It's frustrating," Green said. "I tried my best rehabbing and running around. I know from practicing and watching film, I felt good, but it's not quite there. That's the frustrating part. And what it boils down to is not knowing what we're dealing with.

*** Thursday Update *** RB Ahman Green (HOU) partially participated in Thursday's practice.

*** Wednesday Update *** RB Ahman Green (HOU) partially participated in Wednesday's practice.

RB Ahman Green (HOU) will see how practice goes this week. HC Gary Kubiak said a decision will then be made regarding Green's status for the rest of the season. "We're definitely at a week this week where the decision or the process needs to be sped up," Kubiak said. "We're going to see where he's at Wednesday, but I think it's pretty important that he gets on the field this week. If not, then we're probably going to have to make a decision."

*** Friday Update *** RB Reggie Bush (NO) did not practice on Friday and is questionable to play this weekend. Bush suffered a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during last Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. The team learned of the injury last night.

HC Sean Payton said he is still holding out hope that Bush can play in Monday night's game at Atlanta. But it's also possible that Bush could miss several weeks, putting the remainder of his season in jeopardy.

"He has soreness and swelling in the knee," said Payton. "Yesterday he was able to practice on it and he will be a game-time decision, and we will continue to monitor where he is at in his progress with rehab."

"I don't know if that would be the case right now. I think that would be a little premature," said Payton of the reports that Bush's season is over. "I don't know who reported it but if you just study the history of PCL tears, I know they vary with each player and I know it is an injury that you can come back from, and we will see, I am still hopeful for this weekend's game based on how he practiced yesterday. It is going to come down to the swelling and the condition of it as it applies to him playing."

*** Friday Update *** RB Pierre Thomas (NO) practiced fully on Friday and is expected to play this weekend.

*** Thursday Update *** RB Pierre Thomas (NO) did not practice on Thursday.

*** Friday Update *** RB Brandon Jacobs (NYG) practiced fully on Friday and is expected to play this weekend. He is listed as probable. Caution is advised though as the team will want to see how he warms up Sunday and then you never know how he'll react to game time action.

*** Thursday Update *** RB Brandon Jacobs (NYG) partially participated in Thursday's practice and the team sounded a little more optimistic Thursday. "(Jacobs) is making progress, good progress," coach Tom Coughlin said. He's still not a lock to play though and the team will see how he does Friday and Saturday.

*** Wednesday Update *** RB Brandon Jacobs (NYG) partially participated in Wednesday's practice. HC Tom Coughlin downplayed reports that Jacobs would be OK to play this Sunday. Jacobs instead will be limited in practice this week, and Coughlin will "have to see" whether or not Jacobs' injury is healed.

RB Brandon Jacobs (NYG) HC Tom Coughlin said he believes RB Brandon Jacobs will be okay to start this Sunday against the Eagles as scheduled. Backup RB Derrick Ward, who started for Jacobs (hamstring) the last two weeks, will likely miss the rest of the season with a broken fibula. "[Jacobs] was scheduled to be back anyway," Coughlin said, "If Jacobs can come back and play through the end of the season without further injury, we'll be in good shape."

RB Derrick Ward (NYG) has officially been placed on the injured reserve list, so his season is over.

*** Friday Update *** RB Justin Fargas (OAK) was held out of practice on Friday but does not appear on the injury report. He will start as normal.

*** Friday Update *** RB Brian Westbrook (PHI) partially participated in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable but the team expects him to start this weekend. Westbrook has shown in the past that he can play without practicing.

"He took the plays we needed him to take, then we got him off the turf and in for a little treatment," head coach Andy Reid said.

Westbrook prepares himself away from the practice field as well, says Reid.

"You have the meetings, and your conditioning. These are all things that you need to maintain throughout the week," Reid said. "You have to keep yourself mentally sharp and physically ready to go. If you're hurt there are other ways of getting your cardio work in, making sure your endurance is right for the game.

"Those are things Brian does and then, the opportunity he had to get some practice time in today. He did both walkthroughs the last couple days, so we were able to get him some reps on the new stuff."

Wide Receiver

*** Friday Update *** WR Anquan Boldin (ARI) partially participated in Friday's practice and is questionable to play this weekend. According to Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, Boldin is close to settling on an orthotic insert for his cleats, and the pain in the toe decreases each day. He'll be a game time decision.

*** Thursday Update *** WR Anquan Boldin (ARI) did not practice on Thursday as the training staff is trying to find an insert for his shoe that will allow him to play with his injured toe. They've not been successful thus far.

*** Wednesday Update *** WR Anquan Boldin (ARI) did not practice on Wednesday.

WR Anquan Boldin (ARI) looks very iffy for this weekend's game (and possibly for the rest of the season) due to hip and toe injuries. As HC Ken Whisenhunt understands it, the issues involve how much damage was done, the likelihood of Boldin dislocating the toe again, and pain management and tolerance. The hip injury also seems to have affected Boldin's play since his return. "I'm sure he has pain there," Whisenhunt said. "That was a very traumatic injury. He fought hard to get back. The only thing that's going to get that better is rest."
