At a press conference held Wednesday afternoon, Cowboys WR Terrell Owens denied a police report stating that he tried to commit suicide and said that he became groggy after mixing a generic form of Vicodin with all-natural supplements.

Shaun Alexander - RB, Seattle Seahawks 9/27/2006
There is an outside chance that Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander will play on Sunday against the Bears despite learning on Monday that he has a very small crack in a bone on his left foot. Alexander's foot reportedly stopped hurting on Tuesday, a turn of events to which he credited the power of prayer. He will undergo additional tests today to learn if the crack has indeed healed.

Leon Washington - RB, New York Jets 9/27/2006
Jets head coach Eric Mangini gave RB Kevan Barlow his first start with the team on Sunday, but it was rookie RB Leon Washington who made the biggest impact in the Jets' backfield. Washington started the third quarter and finished the game with nine touches for 77 yards. His 47-yard catch-and-scamper off a screen pass set up the Jets' first touchdown in the second quarter.

Rod Smith - WR, Denver Broncos 9/27/2006

Terrell Owens - WR, Dallas Cowboys 9/27/2006
Updating a previous news item - according to a Dallas police report obtained by WFAA-TV News 8, Cowboys WR Terrell Owens may have attempted suicide on Tuesday night. The report states that Owens was depressed and reportedly took prescription pain pills. Owens broke his right hand Sept. 17 in a game against the Washington Redskins. A Dallas Cowboys spokesman declined comment on the police report to News 8. No news conference has been scheduled. Earlier reports stated that Owens had a reaction to the painkillers he was taking for the broken bone in his hand and was ushered to the emergency room to induce vomiting.

Tatum Bell - RB, Denver Broncos 9/27/2006
Believe it or not, the Broncos officially have a true No. 1 running back. On Saturday night, Head coach Mike Shanahan told Tatum Bell that he would no longer share carries with rookie RB Mike Bell, and Bell responded on Sunday with a huge performance in the Broncos' road win against the Patriots. In that game, Bell had a career-high 27 carries for 123 yards. Typically a late fader, Bell ran hard throughout the game, including nine rushing attempts in the fourth quarter.
----------------------------------------------------------
Kerry Collins - QB, Tennessee Titans 9/27/2006
Tennessee head coach Jeff Fisher said that QB Kerry Collins would start for the Titans against Dallas on Sunday. There has been much speculation that the Titans' 0-3 start, coupled with Collins' erratic play, had opened the doors for rookie QB Vince Young to get the start against the Cowboys.
