    Larry Fitzgerald - WR, Arizona Cardinals 11/8/2006

    Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) has been practicing this week and is expected to play when the Cardinals host Dallas on Sunday. However, head coach Dennis Green said that his star receiver would probably play only half a game.

    Amani Toomer - WR, New York Giants 11/8/2006

    New York Giants WR Amani Toomer will miss the rest of the season with a partially torn ACL in his left knee. Toomer felt pain in his knee during the Giants' 14-10 defeat of Houston on Sunday, but he finished the game and didn't know the extent of his injury until he had an MRI exam on Monday.

    Santonio Holmes - WR, Pittsburgh Steelers 11/8/2006

    Pittsburgh head coach Bill Cowher said on Tuesday that there could be some changes in the reeling Steelers' starting lineup, and speculation is that rookie WR Santonio Holmes may get the nod as the Steelers' starting flanker when the team hosts New Orleans on Sunday. Holmes is second on the team to Hines Ward with 22 catches and 323 yards, while incumbent starter Cedrick Wilson is third in both categories despite playing more that Holmes. Wilson has also fumbled two games in a row, including a costly one against Denver on Sunday.

    David Garrard - QB, Jacksonville Jaguars 11/8/2006

    Backup QB David Garrard will make his third straight start for Jacksonville when the Jaguars host Houston on Sunday. Head coach Jack Del Rio said on Monday that No. 1 QB Byron Leftwich (ankle) is as healthy as he's going to get this season and indicated in no uncertain terms that he would prefer to stick with Garrard, who is healthy and playing well. There is increasing speculation that Leftwich will need surgery on his injured ankle and that Garrard will remain the team's starting QB for the duration of the season.

The Raiders ran the ball a season-low 13 times in their 16-0 loss to Seattle on Monday night. Starting RB Lamont Jordan carried the ball only nine times for 63 yards in that game, and backup Justin Fargas carried the ball only once for -2 yards after carrying the ball 41 times total the previous two weeks when Jordan was out with a back injury.
