*** Thursday Update ***
QB Kyle Boller (BAL) will not start this weekend and could miss week 17 as well due to his concussion. "Concussions are very unpredictable," HC Brian Billick said. "I'm certainly not an expert so I'll rely on the experts to say what and when that could change."
*** Wednesday Update ***
QB Kyle Boller (BAL) did not practice on Wednesday. Boller was sent home, still feeling the effects of the "mild" concussion he sustained against the Miami Dolphins Sunday.
QB Kyle Boller (BAL) is expected to start this weekend despite suffering a mild concussion in week 15. "Kyle, clearly, in my opinion, gives us the best chance to win the game," HC Brian Billick said Monday. "We're going to continue to take the tack that we're going to go out and win every week. Kyle played very well, and deserves the opportunity to continue to grow and get what he might out of these last two games," Billick said.
*** Thursday Update ***
QB Troy Smith (BAL) will make his first NFL start Sunday after QB Kyle Boller missed his second straight day with a concussion. Smith, last season's Heisman Trophy winner, has played only four series in the NFL. "He's as ready as you're going to be as a rookie," HC Brian Billick said after today's practice. "One thing I don't worry about is that he has a strong personality. You worry what happens if things get ugly with him and pressures...but he will fight through whatever happens. He's a very strong-willed young man." Because of Boller's head injury, Billick acknowledged that Smith could start the season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, too.
*** Wednesday Update ***
QB Troy Smith (BAL) With Kyle Boller still suffering from the concussion suffered last weekend, the Ravens may turn to Troy Smith to start his first NFL game this weekend. "Confidence with me has never really been a problem because I don't have anything to prove," said Smith, who took all the snaps with the first-team offense Wednesday. "I don't have anything to prove to anybody, just the guys in this locker room and me getting better."
*** Thursday Update ***
QB Matt Moore (CAR) will start in place of Vinny Testaverde again this week when the Panthers face Dallas. The team has no plans to limit the playbook with Moore under center. "Last week was a pretty complete playbook," Moore said. "I don't think they held anything back."

*** Wednesday Update ***
QB Tony Romo (DAL) practiced on Wednesday. The feeling seems to be that Romo is expected to start Saturday night at Carolina against the Panthers. "He seemed to get better and better as the practice went along as far as his thumb and throwing the football," HC Wade Phillips said. "It looks like he's going to play to me. I thought maybe we would hold him out of some of the things if he couldn't throw all the passes, but he threw long passes, he threw outs, he threw comebacks, he threw short passes. He's still a little bit sore, basically on the follow-through with his thumb."
QB Tony Romo (DAL) was at practice on Tuesday, but he didn't do more than lob the ball because of continued soreness with the thumb on his passing hand. Afterward, his hand was wrapped with ice and a stimulation machine. "He said he felt better," HC Wade Phillips said, adding that the bruising and swelling had gone down.
QB Jon Kitna (DET) will remain as the team's starting QB this weekend.

*** Thursday Update ***
QB Kellen Clemens (NYJ) partially participated in Thursday's practice.
*** Wednesday Update ***
QB Kellen Clemens (NYJ) partially participated in Wednesday's practice. Clemens had little to no mobility in his left arm in Wednesday's practice and likely will not be able to play this weekend due to a shoulder and rib injury from last Sunday. At one point he knocked down a ball (tossed underhand) with his right arm to avoid catching it with two hands. HC Eric Mangini specified that Clemens is the starting quarterback when he's healthy, but that it likely won't be this week, meaning Chad Pennington will get the nod.
QB Kellen Clemens (NYJ) HC Eric Mangini did not give any indication as to who will start at quarterback next week, nor did he give any detail other than, "right now just rib", when describing Kellen Clemens' injury. Most of the speculation points to Clemens not being able to play in week 16.
*** Thursday Update ***
QB Chad Pennington (NYJ) is likely to start this weekend, but no official announcement has been made. HC Eric Mangini says it could be considered a game-time decision.

QB JaMarcus Russell (OAK) "Uh-huh," Kiffin said when asked if Russell could make his first NFL start this weekend. "There's a possibility of it. We're still looking at it. There's a bunch of different ways to do it."
QB JaMarcus Russell (OAK) will continue to see playing time according to HC Lane Kiffin even if it means the Raiders chances of winning take a hit. Russell played three series Sunday against the Colts, but only led the team to one first down. "It's a risk you take when you draft a quarterback No. 1 and you decide you're going to develop him and give him some playing time," Kiffin said. "You're going to risk the chance of losing games because of it."
*** Friday Update ***
QB Philip Rivers (SD) partially participated in Thursday's practice but is still expected to play this weekend.
*** Wednesday Update ***
QB Trent Dilfer (SF) will not play this weekend.
QB Shaun Hill (SF) is wanted in San Francisco. HC Mike Nolan said the team has been trying to extend Hill's contract, which is set to expire after the season. "Obviously, I wish he signed the thing, because I've always wanted him to be a part of what we do," Nolan said. "With his performance, the way it's gone, he could be a bigger part of what we do." Hill's agent Robert Lattinville said that talks at this point are "a little premature."

RB Reggie Bush (NO) did not practice on Friday and is questionable to play this weekend. The feeling right now is not optimistic that he'll be able to play.
*** Thursday Update ***
RB Reggie Bush (NO) rested on Thursday. He went through individual drills but did not participate in the team portion of practice. HC Sean Payton said that's not necessarily a bad sign, but Bush's status for Sunday's game against Philadelphia remains "questionable". "I think part of our plan was getting a good day's work Wednesday," Payton said of Bush. "We'll see where we're at today. It's too early to say." Bush said he felt good after Wednesday and remains optimistic that he might be able to return to the field Sunday.
*** Wednesday Update ***
RB Reggie Bush (NO) was back at practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games with a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. "It felt pretty good," said Bush. "We'll see how it goes and make a decision when the time comes." Bush added that unless he can fully participate in the game, he'd not likely play. "It's a team decision, not just mine. If I'm going to play, I'm going to go 110 percent. I'm not just going in half. If that's the case, I won't even play. Whenever the time comes for me to play, I'm going to give it my all." HC Sean Payton said after Wednesday's practice it was obvious that Bush was not yet at full speed.
RB Reggie Bush (NO) HC Sean Payton is "optimistic" that Reggie Bush could play in Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Bush has missed the last two games because of a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, but plans to practice this week. "He's a little bit ahead of schedule. That's been encouraging," Payton said Monday. "I think he's feeling a lot stronger on it. He's obviously moving around a lot better on it."

*** Wednesday Update ***
RB Justin Fargas (OAK) did not practice on Wednesday and will not play this weekend.
RB Justin Fargas (OAK) is done for the season after an MRI confirmed he has a sprained MCL on Monday. "I hate to see Justin go down," Dominic Rhodes said. "I'm proud of him. He got his first 1,000-yard season. He's been running hard. It's the NFL and things like that happen, so I'm happy for the opportunity."
*** Friday Update ***
RB LaMont Jordan (OAK) will not start this weekend, but he will play in relief of Dominic Rhodes.
*** Thursday Update ***

*** Friday Update ***
RB Dominic Rhodes (OAK) will start this weekend, but HC Lane Kiffin says LaMont Jordan will see action as well.
RB Dominic Rhodes (OAK) and Lamont Jordan will compete for the starting running back job this week with RB Justin Fargas out with a sprained MCL.

Recent starting Even if he doesn't start, Rhodes is set to see the most playing time he's seen all season. "He will get more opportunities this week, I imagine," Kiffin said.

*** Thursday Update ***
RB Shaun Alexander (SEA) HC Mike Holmgren gave a vote of confidence to starting RB Shaun Alexander, who has struggled nearly the entire year. He blamed the offensive line as well as a nagging wrist injury for Alexander's woes. "I think physically he can still do it. I think that [broken] wrist, it bothered him more than he ever thought it might or I ever thought it might," Holmgren said.
