Quarterbacks
Start ´Em
Donovan McNabb (at NYG): Ride him while he’s hot! McNabb was on fire last week against Detroit with 381 yards and four touchdowns. In his past four meetings with the Giants, McNabb has nine touchdowns, no interceptions and three 300-yard games.
Brett Favre (at MIN): There are several things in Favre’s favor this week. He [...]
Frank Gore is frustrated. And the Pro Bowl running back says it’s time to take it out on the Seattle Seahawks.
The reigning NFC rushing champion has mostly been contained during San Francisco’s first three games as the team’s struggling offense has sunk to the bottom of the NFL rankings.
The 49ers have still managed a 2-1 [...]
Jake Delhomme missed practice again Thursday with a strained right elbow, making it more likely backup David Carr will start at quarterback for Carolina on Sunday against Tampa Bay.
Panthers coach John Fox, always secretive with injuries, sidestepped a question on whether Delhomme tried to throw.
“He did not participate (in practice),” Fox said. “That’s all of [...]
Running back Larry Johnson sat out a second straight practice Thursday with a sore hamstring, a bad sign for a Kansas City offense that has scored only two touchdowns in three games.
Johnson, the two-time Pro Bowler who has struggled after missing almost the entire training camp in a contract dispute, is expected to play Sunday [...]
Joey Porter has never been shy about speaking his mind.
The outspoken veteran has called opposing players “soft,” was fined for things he said to Cleveland’s Kellen Winslow Jr. during a game and even accused referees once of cheating. He created a buzz after this season’s opener, when the Dolphins had him on the sideline during [...]
The NFL Network’s Adam Schefter has confirmed that Brian Griese will start at quarterback Sunday for the Chicago Bears.
Griese will replace Rex Grossman, who threw three interceptions as the Chicago Bears fell to the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 on Sunday night and did not get a vote of confidence from his coach a day later.
“Will Rex [...]
HOUSTON (AP) -Kevin Everett made more significant strides over the weekend in his recovery from a life-threatening spinal cord injury.
The Buffalo Bills tight end lifted his right arm for the first time Sunday, a day after sitting up in bed for four hours, Dr. Teodoro Castillo, his attending physician, said Monday. Everett couldn’t sit up [...]
St. Louis, MO — St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson will miss at least one week with a partial tear of his left groin, an injury sustained in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 24-3 loss at Tampa Bay.
Rookie Brian Leonard, a second-round pick from Rutgers, will get his first start Sunday at Dallas. Offensive [...]
Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander has a broken left wrist, but will continue to play with a protective cast, coach Mike Holmgren said Monday.
Alexander has been playing with the cast on his wrist since spraining it in the team’s opening victory against Tampa Bay.
Holmgren did not say Monday when the bone was cracked, but [...]
Brett Favre goes out of his way to say he cares about winning, not going after records.
He managed to do both at the same time on Sunday.
Favre found Greg Jennings on a slant pattern for the record-tying 420th touchdown pass of his career. The 57-yard completion erased a four-point deficit to the San Diego [...]
