QB Gibran Hamdan (BUF) has been moved up to QB2 behind Trent Edwards. If Edwards is unable to play in Week 16, it appears that HC Dick Jauron is preparing to let Hamdan start.

*** Wednesday Update ***
QB J.P. Losman (BUF) has been relegated to third-string behind Gibran Hamdan. The move comes after his fumble was returned for a decisive touchdown in a 31-27 loss to the New York Jets last weekend. Losman has no plans to re-sign with Buffalo this offseason.

"I don't want to wait until April, May and miss out on what's going to be going on. Within the next couple weeks, we should know. I'll have another MRI, and we'll check it out," said Palmer, who has recently been able to throw a ball 55 yards and work out four days a week.

QB Tony Romo (DAL) HC Wade Phillips said Tony Romo will be sore, but should be able to give his bruised back a test run on Wednesday.

*** Wednesday Update ***

*** Friday Update ***
QB Gus Frerotte (MIN) partially participated in Friday's practice and is questionable to play in Week 16. He will not start and talked about Brad Childress' decision to go with Tarvaris Jackson. "It's up to Coach," he said. "Obviously I'm not happy about it. I mean, anybody that's competitive wants to be the guy that's out there. I put a lot of hard work and a lot of effort into this.
*** Thursday Update ***
QB Gus Frerotte (MIN) partially participated in Thursday's practice. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell made the announcement Thursday that Tarvaris Jackson will start Sunday's game against Atlanta.
*** Wednesday Update ***
QB Gus Frerotte (MIN) partially participated in Wednesday's practice. HC Brad Childress did not reveal on Wednesday who his QB will be in Week 16. "I want to watch [Gus Frerotte] come out here and practice and that's kind of what I talked with those guys about last night," Childress said. "They shared reps here in the walk-through and we'll see how they get out here and move through individual drills."
QB Gus Frerotte (MIN) HC Brad Childress declined to name a starting QB on Monday. He praised Tarvaris Jackson for his play in the Week 15 games against the Arizona Cardinals. Gus Frerotte did some work on Monday and is gradually feeling better. Childress wants to see the players go through practice this week and probably won't name a starter until Sunday. "I'll certainly discuss it with those two guys before I discuss it with anyone else," Childress said.
*** Friday Update ***
QB Tarvaris Jackson (MIN) Coach Brad Childress talked about his QB situation. "That takes nothing away from Gus," Childress said. "It's more a product of what Tarvaris has done with the ball in his hand. ... There are those factors. I'm evaluating the medical part of it. And I'm getting my sense of where they're at and the hot hand. Just making a decision. I've got to make a decision one way or the other."
Childress declined to say whether Jackson is his starter for Sunday's game against Atlanta only or for the rest of the season. "I'm staying in the now," he said.
*** Thursday Update ***
QB Tarvaris Jackson (MIN) The Vikings will start Tarvaris Jackson at quarterback in Week 16 against Atlanta. Gus Frerotte will serve as the backup. OC Darrell Bevell made the announcement during his weekly news conference. Frerotte was the No. 3 quarterback last Sunday but the fact he's going to be the backup means that the Vikings consider him healthy enough to play. Bevell said the decision to start Jackson "is what we're doing for this week."
*** Wednesday Update ***
QB Brett Favre (NYJ) may be wearing down a bit. "Maybe I don't have the arm I once had. I don't know," the 39-year old said. Favre threw two interceptions Week 15 to give him a league high 17 on the season. Over the last three games, his completion percentage is 57.7 with a quarterback rating of 61.0. HC Eric Mangini isn't sounding any alarms, however. "He cycled back," said Mangini, alluding to Favre's midseason rally. "I assume [he'll be] cycling back again."
*** Thursday Update ***
QB Donovan McNabb (PHI) strongly denied statements by the Monday Night Football crew that his relationship with HC Andy Reid was damaged based on his benching earlier this season and over years of frustration. McNabb, who has seven touchdown passes in the last three weeks, indicated last week that he planned to talk to Reid and the front office about his situation during the off-season. "My relationship hasn't changed with Andy," McNabb said. "I guess that would be the assumption that people would make because of the situation and the coverage it has received."

*** Thursday Update ***
QB Jeff Garcia (TB) partially participated in Thursday's practice. He seems to be making progress. "[Garcia] looked pretty good. I think he's feeling better," coach Jon Gruden said. "Once again that is a good sign, but he's making progress."

But a toe's very important when you're a running back because you have to make cuts and things like that."

RB Marion Barber (DAL) did not practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 16. He'll be a game time decision but the feeling as of Friday is pretty pessimistic. As we saw last week, even if he does play, he doesn't seem to be near his normal health and effectiveness.
*** Thursday Update ***
RB Marion Barber (DAL) did not practice on Thursday. Said coach Wade Philips, "Marion Barber didn't practice, it's similar to last week, have to see on gameday. We're looking forward to the game, it's a big, big game, we want to get to 10 wins and go from there."
(If Barber can't go will Choice take all the snaps or will he get any rest?) "I think Tashard Choice is the guy, if Barber isn't there, that can carry the load. Alonzo Coleman hasn't played much so it would be hard to put him in there."
*** Wednesday Update ***
RB Marion Barber (DAL) did not practice on Wednesday.
RB Marion Barber (DAL) should be on pace to play again Week 16. However, HC Wade Phillips said backup RB Tashard Choice has earned more playing time.

*** Thursday Update ***
RB Deuce McAllister (NO) missed practice Thursday after he experienced swelling in his left knee and had it drained.
*** Wednesday Update ***
RB Deuce McAllister (NO) apparently suffered a setback Week 8 in his calculated comeback from double knee surgery last offseason. He began wearing a brace on his left knee and has had it drained at least once in the last few weeks. HC Sean Payton admitted that McAllister "is not 100 percent", and that makes sense given that he hasn't had more than eight carries in a game since Week 8 when he had 16 against the Chargers.

*** Wednesday Update ***
RB Frank Gore (SF) did not practice on Wednesday, and his status for Week 16 in St. Louis is uncertain. "It just depends," HC Mike Singletary said of Gore's availability. I would say that right now, yes, hopefully he has a chance to play."

RB Steven Jackson (STL) sat out plays in the fourth quarter after sustaining a blow to the head, but HC Jim Haslett says the injury wasn't considered a concussion. "From my understanding, he just got light-headed, and he didn't feel well, and then he must have come out of it," Haslett said. "He went back in the game."
*** Friday Update ***
RB Clinton Portis (WAS) missed practice on Friday because of back spasms and his status for Week 16 against Philadelphia is unclear. In the locker room after practice, Portis moved slowly and struggled to bend. "My back just spasmed up," he said. "I was [sleeping], but I don't now how I slept. I woke up and just didn't feel like moving this morning. It feels better when they [trainers] rubbing on it, but that don't last long. As soon as they stop, it starts back hurting."

"Obviously, in this type of situation, where you have a game two weeks away, you want to make sure you got as many of your guys available for that game," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "That's got to take priority."
"I think that both these guys want to play and if they're ready to go, they'll play," Whisenhunt said. "But I think also, you have to be smart with that situation.
"If this was a game that for us meant to get into the playoffs, it would be a completely different scenario."
