    Wali Lundy - RB, Houston Texans 10/26/2006

    After a career high 93 yards and a score against the Jaguars last week, Wali Lundy has been named the starting running back for the Texans. "Wali has earned that right to go play," HC Gary Kubiak said. "He'll be the guy this week and hopefully for a long, long time.

    Lamont Jordan - RB, Oakland Raiders 10/26/2006

    LaMont Jordan was unable to play in the win over the Cardinals last week after his back tightened up in pre-game warm-ups and the Raiders are preparing for potentially not having their starting running back again this week. An MRI exam did not reveal any structural damage so the injury is probably just muscular. "The next couple of days are going to be important to see how it comes along," HC Art Shell said. "He says he's had this before and he's come around in a couple of days, so we'll see."

McNair suffered a concussion and sprained neck in the last game and was unable to finish that match-up with the Panthers. "I feel good today. I got the brains back working again," McNair said. "Overall it felt good to be out at practice. I felt better than I have in a long time. I felt fresh, felt rejuvenated. I'm looking forward to this week."

"He will continue to increase his workload this week, with the target being next week's game."
