Detroit Lions 09/16/2008 8:46 AMThe Detroit Free Press reports he kept his sense of humor. But WR Roy Williams made it clear Monday that, because the Lions are losing, he is not happy with how often he is thrown the ball nor the role of No. 2 receiver. "I feel that if I'm not involved in the game and we lose, I'm (ticked) off," Williams said. "But if I'm not involved and we win, hey, it's a great job. And I've been like that since I've been here. I just feel like I can make some plays, as well. ... Three balls a week, that's not going to cut it." Asked if he had himself on his fantasy team, Williams said: "Heck, no." Asked if he had teammate Calvin Johnson, Williams said: "Yeah, I got Calvin."Read more
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 09/16/2008 8:40 AMThe Tampa Tribune reports there are increasing signs, however, Bucs WR Joey Galloway is starting to feel like he's 33. First there was the shoulder injury that rendered him useless against the Giants last January, then the groin injury that kept him out of the preseason. Now, there is a foot/ankle injury that already cost Galloway part of one game and threatens to cost him all or part of another. The Bucs weren't saying Monday just how serious Galloway's latest injury is, but that Bucs coach Jon Gruden didn't dismiss it and say Galloway will be ready to play against Chicago is an indication the Bucs may have to play the Bears without their top deep threat.Read more
Atlanta Falcons 09/16/2008 8:37 AMThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports RB Michael Turner came away from Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay with a sore right ankle, but it’s something he doesn’t think is serious. “It’s one of those things you get rolled up into, and you’ve got to walk it off a little bit,” Turner said. “Just a little sore. Nothing major.” HC Mike Smith said Grady Jackson’s swollen knee had improved, after he was a surprise inactive Sunday. He is expected back in practice this week.Read more
Green Bay Packers 09/13/2008 9:43 AMThe Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the Green Bay Packers might have to defend the Detroit Lions' exceptional corps of wide receivers Sunday without their best cornerback. Charles Woodson missed another day of practice Friday with a fractured toe and the team is set to start Tramon Williams if he can't go. "I want to give him all the way up till noon Sunday to see if he can play," HC Mike McCarthy said. "It's just a concern because you're playing on FieldTurf. You'd like to be on grass."Read more
