Latest NFL Player News

Steve McNair, QB TEN - Houston Big Ballers Updated 12/27/01
McNair missed practice Wednesday because of back pain. "I'm going to try to do some things tomorrow and hope it loosens up and not have as much pain as I had today," McNair said. "I'm not going to go out and try to force the issue. If it's still sore and still tight where I can't have all my mechanics right, I'm not going to force the issue." The Titans listed him as questionable yet again Wednesday, but McNair likely will play

Jerome Bettis , RB PIT - Blue Balls Updated 12/27/01
Bettis is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after missing Pittsburgh's last three games with a groin injury. He skipped Wednesday's practice, as he has done most of the season, even when healthy. "I can't really predict the future, so I take it day by day," Bettis said. "I'm not 100 percent yet. I just want to keep improving and take it day by day."

Martin Gramatica, K TB - Free Agent Updated 12/27/01
Gramatica sat out practice Wednesday, but is expected to test his injured leg on Thursday. Doug Brien and Brad Daluiso worked out Wednesday for the Buccaneers, who might sign one if Martin Gramatica can't kick against the Baltimore Ravens this week.

Matt Hasselbeck, QB SEA - Texas Terminators Updated 12/26/01
Trent Dilfer will start this week in place of Hasselbeck, whose separated left shoulder is too sore for him to play. Coach Mike Holmgren said Wednesday that Hasselbeck aggravated the injury, which he's had since the third week of the season, against the New York Giants last Sunday. "There's a chance I might have him and he could play in an emergency-type situation, but he's pretty sore," Holmgren said.

James Stewart, RB DET - Orange Roughy Updated 12/26/01
Stewart is day to day with a sprained ankle. His status for this week's game is unclear.

Jeff Graham, WR SD - Really Rottens Updated 12/26/01
Graham may miss his second consecutive game this week because of the death of his father. With Tim Dwight (lung) still ailing, Trevor Gaylor may have to start again.

Skip Hicks , RB TEN - Grid Iron Goons Updated 12/26/01
Hicks is expected to miss this week's game with a hamstring injury, and may miss the rest of the season. Eddie George should assume a regular workload once again.

Emmitt Smith, RB DAL - Team Dick Updated 12/26/01
Smith is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.

Peter Warrick, WR CIN - Dont Mess Updated 12/26/01
Warrick, who was benched late in last week's game, is expected to start. He has been a disappointment this year and Fantasy players should not use him at this point of the postseason.

Todd Bouman, QB MIN - Grid Iron Goons Updated 12/26/01
Bouman (thumb) may attempt to practice late in the week. His status remains unclear for this week's game, and Spergon Wynn is available to start if needed.

Wesley Walls, TE CAR - Team Chick Updated 12/26/01
Walls is day to day with a knee injury. He should be able to play this week.

Muhsin Muhammad, WR CAR - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Muhammad is still battling a turf toe injury. His status for Week 16 is still unclear.

Larry Parker, WR KC - Luccis Losers Updated 12/26/01
Parker's season is over. He will undergo surgery on his shoulder and the Chiefs are expected to place him on injured reserve.

Oronde Gadsden, WR MIA - Team Dick Updated 12/26/01
Gadsden (hamstring) might miss his second consecutive game this week. Chris Chambers may start in his place again.

Fred Taylor, RB JAC - Dont Mess Updated 12/26/01
Taylor (groin) has returned to practices and is working with the scout team. He might appear in the team's final game, and is a longshot to play this week. He has missed too much playing time to warrant serious Fantasy consideration at this point of the playoffs.

Rod Smith, WR DEN - Blue Balls Updated 12/26/01
Smith (ankles) has returned to practice. He is expected to play this week.

Raghib Ismail, WR DAL - C-Dawg's Boyz Updated 12/26/01
Ismail is recovering from a mild concussion. He is expected to play this week.

Joey Galloway, WR DAL - Team Chick Updated 12/26/01
Galloway is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.

Bert Emanuel, WR DET - Blue Balls Updated 12/26/01
Emanuel is day to day with an ankle injury. His status for the upcoming week is unclear right now.

McKnight is day to day with an ankle injury. He is expected to play this week.

Mark Brunell, QB JAC - President Taft Updated 12/26/01
Brunell is day to day with a quadriceps injury. He is expected to play this week.

Mike McMahon, QB DET - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
McMahon may miss some practice time this week with a foot injury. His status for this week's game is unclear right now, and Ty Detmer will start in his place if he can't play.

Jason Brookins, RB BAL - Free Agent Updated 12/26/01
Brookins may be able to return for Baltimore's final game. For now, Terry Allen and Moe Williams will continue to split carries.

Jerome Bettis, RB PIT - Blue Balls Updated 12/25/01
Bettis is listed as questionable for Week 16. However, he may be able to return to the Steelers' starting lineup. Bill Cowher said Bettis is progressing, and he will be used this week if healthy.

James Stewart, RB DET - Orange Roughy Updated 12/23/01
Stewart suffered a sprained ankle early in Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. He was replaced by Lamont Warren in the first quarter, and Stewart did not return.

Cameron Cleeland, TE NO - Luccis Losers Updated 12/23/01
Cleeland injured his Achilles tendon on Sunday. He is not expected to play again this season.

Ahman Green, RB GB - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Green left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with labored breathing. He was replaced by Dorsey Levens.

Todd Bouman, QB MIN - Grid Iron Goons Updated 12/23/01
Bouman was able to start Sunday's game, but he re-injured his thumb in the first quarter and was replaced by Spergon Wynn.

Wesley Walls, TE CAR - Team Chick Updated 12/23/01
Walls was able to play in Sunday's game despite an ankle injury, but he left the game before halftime after spraining his left knee.

Martin Gramatica, K TB - Free Agent Updated 12/23/01
Gramatica injured his hamstring in the fourth quarter on Sunday. The Buccaneers may sign a free agent kicker to replace him in Week 16.

Joey Galloway, Reserve WR Updated 12/26/01
Galloway is day to day with a hip injury. He is expected to play this week.

Wesley Walls, Reserve TE Updated 12/26/01
Walls is day to day with a knee injury. He should be able to play this week.

Rich Gannon, Active QB Updated 12/21/01
Gannon has been a top-flight Fantasy QB this year. He will be a key player on many title teams, and should never be benched.

Kevin Dyson, Reserve WR Updated 12/21/01
Look for Dyson to be a decent No. 2 receiver during the Fantasy postseason. He might not score, but he should catch a few passes.

Randy Moss, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Moss started off slow this season but has once again been one of the best wideouts. Don't hesitate to start him during your playoff run.

Hines Ward, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Ward hasn't scored a lot of touchdowns this season but is among the league leaders in receptions. He should be an asset to your team for the rest of the season as a No. 2 wideout.

Terrell Owens, Active WR Updated 12/21/01
Owens (hip) returned to practice on Thursday. He is expected to play this week.

Tim Couch, Reserve QB Updated 12/21/01
Couch has been inconsistent this season. He is far too unreliable to be considered a starter during the Fantasy playoffs.

Tony Richardson, Reserve RB Updated 12/21/01
Richardson hasn't been a consistent scoring threat this year. Don't use him during the Fantasy playoffs.

Jerry Rice, Active WR Updated 12/16/01
Rice had a solid game against San Diego, posting six catches for 93 yards and a touchdown. Rice has once again become a solid Fantasy player in Oakland, and will help many owners during the Fantasy playoffs.

Tiki Barber, Active RB Updated 12/16/01
Barber compiled 130 scrimmage yards against Arizona, but he was held out of the end zone. Barber will continue to be a focal point of the Giants' offense, however, and will be a valuable player to have during the Fantasy playoffs.

Dwayne Carswell, Reserve TE Updated 12/14/01
Carswell has been an up-and-down player for Denver. He won't give Fantasy owners consistent production during the postseason.

Richie Anderson, Reserve RB Updated 12/13/01
Anderson is day to day to with a wrist injury. He is expected to play on Sunday.

Saints, Active DT Updated 11/29/01
Cornerback Kevin Mathis missed practice on Wednesday due to a neck injury. "I've been trying to play through it, but I think it has caught up with me," Mathis told the Times-Picayune. "I start out the game fine, but after about the second tackle, the pain comes back immediately." Mathis is questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, which could be good news for Fantasy owners with Panther receivers on their roster.

Matt Stover, Active K Updated 10/25/01
Stover has a minor leg injury that will prevent him from kicking off but he will be able to kick field goals, according to published reports. The injury isn't considered serious but the Ravens are considering Steve Lindsey and Jaret Holmes as candidates to handle kickoffs.
