LAST MINUTES UPDATES BEFORE KICKOFF
The Chiefs will not have starting safety Jon McGraw or nickel back/kick returner Javier Arenas today for their game against the Miami Dolphins. McGraw's shoulder injury hasn't responded enough for him to play today. He will be replaced in the starting lineup by Donald Washington. Arenas sustained an ankle injury Monday night, he will be repleaced in the nickel role by Travis Daniels & as a kick returner by Dexter McCluster.
The Dolphins didn't bring starting cornerback Vontae Davis, he was involved in an altercation with wide receiver Brandon Marshall & was left in Miami yesterday for disciplinary reasons. Defensive end Phillip Merling also didn't make the trip because he violated a team regulation than wasn't divulged by Dolphin management.
Raider placekicker Sebastian Janikowski went from doubtful on Thursday to starting today. His ailing left hamstring is good enough for Oakland to send substitute kicker Dave Rayner home....for now.
Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman arrived at New Orleans' Superdome with a heavily taped right thumb. But he is expected to start. Saints middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma will not play in today's game, neither will running back Mark Ingram.
Giants #1 draft pick, cornerback Prince Amukamara, made the trip to New England & just might make his long-awaited NFL debut. The G-Men are without RB Ahmad Bradshaw & WR Hakeem Nicks, both high impact players in the offense.
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will double as the holder on placekicking attempts since punter/holder Matt McBriar is injured & will not play. The last time Romo held for placements was in a 2006 playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. If you'll recall, Romo fumbled a snap on a last minute field goal attempt & the Cowboys lost the game. He didn't hold after that until today. By the way the Cowboys' opponent today is Seattle. Kinda weird huh?
Enjoy the games!
