    • QB Matt Schaub continues to play well. He was 25 of 34 for 305 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the loss to Tennessee. Through 10 games, he's remained healthy. If something happened to Schaub and the Texans were forced to go with Rex Grossman or Dan Orlovsky, they'd be in bigger trouble than they are now with Indianapolis coming to town. Schaub has thrown for 2,958 yards. He's completed 67.1 percent. His average per attempt is 8.1 yards. He has 19 touchdown passes, nine interceptions and a 98.9 rating.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
    • Schaub passed for 305 yards and two touchdowns in Houston's 20-17 loss to Tennessee on Monday night.
      Advice: Schaub didn't throw an interception after being picked off four times in his previous two games.

    • QB Kyle Orton was a full participant Tuesday. He says he feels better and shouldn't be limited in Thursday's game.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • QB Kyle Orton relieved Chris Simms 25 minutes into Sunday's game vs. San Diego. He threw for 171 yards. He looked comfortable despite an injured left ankle and sharp despite not practicing during the week. In hindsight, he should have started.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • QB Kyle Orton (ankle) will not start Sunday, but is the No. 2 quarterback behind Chris Simms.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sat, Nov 21
    • QB Kyle Orton appears to be a severe longshot to play Sunday, with the Denver Post reporting on Saturday that his ankle has not recovered enough to play. Chris Simms practiced with the first team all week.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Fri, Nov 20
    • QB Kyle Orton (sprained ankle) sat out practice again Friday and was officially listed as questionable. If he can't play, Chris Simms would start. "If Kyle is completely able to do what we're going to ask him to do in the game plan, and can do it at a level that allows us to be successful, then we could give him an opportunity to play," coach Josh McDaniels said. "If he's not capable of playing at that level, or doing some of the things that we need him to be able to do, then you go with the guy who practiced."
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Wed, Nov 18
    • Orton (ankle) did not practice during the team's early session on Wednesday, but is optimistic to play on Sunday, the Denver Post reports.
      Recommendation: Orton said he would try to participate in the afternoon activities, but it seems that the team will likely keep him out in order to rest his injured ankle and be as ready as possible for Sunday's game against San Diego.

  • Tue, Nov 24Recent News
    • QB Matt Cassel remains standing and physically capable after nine starts and being sacked 34 times. Only Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers has been taken down more times than Cassel. That pass rush pressure has contributed to his completion percentage of 55 percent, but Cassel has done a good job of limiting the interceptions, throwing just six. He has fumbled nine times, but just two of those were recovered by the opponent.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Cassel had a horrendous first half against Pittsburgh on Sunday, passing for only 35 yards on four completions. But he came through in the final two quarters and overtime, finishing with 248 yards and two touchdowns to help lead Kansas City to a 27-24 win.

      Advice: Coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that he plans to go into Sunday's game with Roethlisberger and second-year player Dennis Dixon as his only quarterbacks. A third, inexperienced quarterback will be signed, but Tomlin said he won't be ready to play. Backup quarterback Charlie Batch broke his left wrist during the 27-24 loss in Kansas City on Sunday and will have surgery on Wednesday.
      (STATS, Inc.)

      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • QB Ben Roethlisberger appears to be OK after leaving in overtime of Sunday's 27-24 loss in Kansas City to what coach Mike Tomlin said was a "concussion-oriented thing." The quarterback said after the game he was OK, and he was being evaluated Monday by doctors to make sure that indeed was the case.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • QB Ben Roethlisberger left Sunday's game in OT with a mild concussion. He extended his team record with his 11th 300-yard passing game. He had 398 vs. the Chiefs, his record-tying fourth this season.

    • QB Philip Rivers was efficient, completing 17-0f-22 passes for 145 yards and a score. He missed on just one of 14 pass attempts in the first half. Rivers was asked to basically manage the game instead of win it -- a nice change of pace for the Chargers.
      (Yahoo! Sports)

    • QB Brett Favre continued to play at an MVP level by completing a franchise and personal best 88 percent of his passes and throwing for four touchdowns in a 35-9 victory over Seattle on Sunday. Favre, who was lifted late in the third quarter because the Vikings had a comfortable lead, has now thrown four touchdown passes in a game an NFL record 22 times. His 112.1 passer rating and 69.7 completion percentage lead the NFL and he has thrown 21 touchdowns and a remarkable three interceptions in 10 games. The fewest interceptions Favre has thrown in a season was 13 in 1992, '95 and '96.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Favre completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes for 213 yards and four touchdowns, and Minnesota delivered its most complete performance of the season in a 35-9 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

    • QB Chad Henne displayed poise as offensive lineman after offensive lineman limped off the field last Thursday.

    • QB Dennis Dixon would start Sunday against Baltimore if Ben Roethlisberger (concussion) is sidelined. "I've been very pleased with Dennis's progress as a third quarterback," coach Mike Tomlin said. "That's different of course than playing against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night television. No question that we would have to do some things to help him. If he plays in this game, and plays extensively in this game, we have to do some things schematically." The Steelers will go with only two quarterbacks for now as they hold a roster spot open for backup Charlie Batch, who will have surgery Wednesday to repair a broken left wrist from Sunday's game. Tomlin said Batch will miss 2-4 weeks. They plan to sign Tyler Palko to their practice squad as their third quarterback for now.

    • The Detroit Lions practiced Tuesday without quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson. The injured players watched the workouts.

Stafford set an NFL rookie passing record with 422 yards against the Browns and became the youngest player to throw five touchdowns in a game. Johnson had a career-best 161 yards receiving and a 75-yard TD. unless the pain subsides.
      (STATS, Inc.)
  • Wed, Nov 18
    • Stafford (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, the Lions' official site reports.
      Recommendation: The Lions generally limit Stafford's workload early in the week before gradually cranking it up as game day approaches. He's fully expected to play Sunday against the Browns.

    • QB Brady Quinn's breakout game provides a glimmer of hope to the Browns offense. Prior to Sunday's loss in Detroit, the Browns had scored five offensive touchdowns in 16 games. But in the first quarter alone in Detroit, Quinn threw three touchdowns. He looked much better in part because the Browns let Quinn be a quarterback. They did not shackle him with a conservative game plan, and Quinn and the offense responded. "I thought that Brady and the entire offense did a really nice job operating the no huddle," coach Eric Mangini said. "Getting the shifts, getting the motions, getting the spacing against the calls that they had. Identifying the pressures, picking those up, because they had quite a few different packages that they ran and then when we had those chances, capitalizing on them." Quinn probably didn't erase every question about his future, but his 304-yard, four-touchdown game -- those are good numbers no matter the opponent -- should allow the Browns to breathe easier about him if he can follow with more good games. If the Browns come out of nothing else from this disaster of a season, they should at least have an idea of Quinn's abilities. Quinn, though, needs to follow up the game against Detroit with more strong efforts. If Quinn can't finish strong the final six games of the season, then the criticism will be leveled that he only did it against weak competition. Quinn needs a good game against a good team.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Quinn threw four TDs _ surpassing his previous career total _ in Cleveland's 38-37 loss to Detroit on Sunday.
      Advice: He connected with Michael Gaines with 5:44 left to put the Browns ahead after helping them score a franchise-record 24 points in the first quarter. Quinn, who started the game with three TD passes in three seasons, was 21 of 33 for 304 yards and did not throw an interception.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • QB Brady Quinn had an outstanding game against one of the league's poorer defenses. Quinn threw for four touchdowns and 304 yards, and had the Browns in position to win. It's a game that should put Quinn back on firmer ground with the team, especially its future. He threw downfield, he looked comfortable and he ran the offense well. Given a chance to run a complete game plan, Quinn played very well and very efficiently. It was the first and best game by a Browns quarterback this season. "We didn't win, though," Quinn said. "So you're never happy when you don't get a win."
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • QB Brady Quinn threw four touchdown passes, including a 59-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Massaquoi and a 40-yard touchdown pass to Chansi Stuckey, in the Browns' 38-37 loss. Quinn's longest pass play prior to that was a quick slant that Massaquoi turned into a 30-yard gain Nov. 16 against the Ravens .
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Wed, Nov 18
    • Coach Eric Mangini said that Quinn will start Sunday in Detroit, despite the Browns' 16-0 loss to the Ravens Monday, in which Quinn had a 23.5 passer rating, the Cleavland Plain Dealer reports.
      Recommendation: The "on any given Sunday" plus a "great matchup" equation is still not enough to risk rolling with anyone in the Browns' passing game at this point.

    • QB Matt Leinart hasn't been impressive in three extended appearances this season. Several of his throws have been high and he's looked tentative at times.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Mon, Nov 23
    • Backing up the injured Kurt Warner, Leinaryt completed 10 of 14 for 74 yards in Sunday's 21-13 win over St. Louis.
      Advice: Leinart has not started a game since Oct. 7, 2007.
      (STATS, Inc.)
    • QB Matt Leinart has failed to impress in three significant appearances this season. But coach Ken Whisenhunt has defended him, saying his sees progress from the fourth-year quarterback. It's possible Leinart could start this Sunday against the Titans pending tests this week to gauge whether starter Kurt Warner is suffering from concussion symtoms. A Leinart start would provide a nice story line since the Titans passed on Leinart in the 2006 draft and took Vince Young with the third pick. Leinart fell to the Cardinals at No. 10, a development that former coach Dennis Green called a gift from heaven. Leinart hasn't led the Cardinals to a score in three appearances this season, and in each case, the opponent made a comeback to make things interesting. Whisenhunt admitted the Cardinals turned conservative offensively in the second half, after starter Kurt Warner left with a head injury.
      (Yahoo! Sports)
  • Sun, Nov 22
    • QB Matt Leinart replaced Kurt Warner (concussion) late in the first half and finished 10 of 14, but eight of those completions were for 8 yards or less. The Cardinals didn't score in the second half, as the Rams made a valiant comeback but fell shorts 21-13.

    • Cutler, who had 12 interceptions in the previous five games, completed 24 of 43 passes for 171 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to Philadelphia.
