Moss Status Uncertain

The AP reports that Randy Moss could miss a game for the first time in his NFL career, but the Minnesota Vikings won't decide before Friday whether he'll be forced out by a strained right hamstring.

Coach Mike Tice described the injury as more than mild, but Moss has always been a fast healer and could be able to play a limited role in next weekend's home game against the Tennessee Titans.

Moss, who has played in 101 consecutive regular-season games, leads the league with eight touchdown catches.

The All-Pro receiver was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday night's game in New Orleans when he tripped and fell after getting tangled up with Saints safety Jay Bellamy on a pass that was intercepted in the end zone.
