SUNDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK

Dolphins quarterback Trent Green has been placed on the injured reserve, ending his season and most likely his career. Despite selecting John Beck in the second round of last year’s draft, don’t be surprised if Miami finds the opportunity to select a franchise quarterback too good of an opportunity to pass up.

In Baltimore, Kyle Boller will start. Steve McNair is listed as the backup this week.

The Chiefs have activated former All Pro running back Priest Holmes. He will backup Larry Johnson as the team traded Michael Bennett to Tampa Bay earlier in the week.

Giants running back Brandon Jacobs will be in the starting lineup. Some “mainstream media” outlets have been reporting Jacobs is out, which is not the case.

The duo of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew will both be in the lineup Sunday after being limited in practice during the week.

After being inactive last week, Ron Dayne will serve as Ahman Green’s back up on Sunday for Houston.

Keep an eye on Quinton Gather this week as he is expected to backup LenDale White when Tennessee visits Houston. With Chris Brown injured, the team does not entrust rookie running back Chris Henry to handle backup duties.

World, meet Kyle Eckel. Look for the New England running back to hit paydirt Sunday.

Colts wide out Marvin Harison (knee) will play.

The Broncos received devastating news this week when it was learned wide reciver Javon Walker will be out at least six weeks after undergoing knee surgery. If Denver is out of the playoff hunt during his time of return, they could hold him out of action until next season.

Tight end Chris Baker will miss Sunday’s game with a back injury. One has to wonder if that is really the case as Baker was disciplined earlier in the week by head coach Eric Mangjni for his comments following last week’s game.
