Who's Out

The following players of note are already OUT for the 2006 season...yes, the whole season.

• Atlanta WR Brian Finneran (Knee)

• Jacksonville RB Greg Jones (ACL)
• Keep an eye on both LeBrandon Toefield and Alvin Pearman as they are the likely backups to "Fragile" Fred Taylor.

Also:

• Jets RB Curtis Martin will start the season on the PUP list. He is expected to miss at least the first six weeks of the season.
  
• While Derrick Blaylock is expected to fill in for Martin, watch Kevan Barlow who was recently acquired from the 49ers.

• Another situation worth watching is in Houston where Texans RB Domanick Davis is having significant knee problems. His status for Week 1 and beyond is in doubt.
• Antowain Smith, Wali Lundy, and Vernand Morency are all batteling for the #2 slot behind Davis.
  

• Also keep an eye in Colts K Adam Vinatieri who has a broken bone in his left (non-kicking) foot. He is still hopefull of playing in Week 1, but that could change.
  

Meanwhile, some Week 1 starters have been announced. They include:

• Jets QB Chad Pennington
• Bills QB J.P. Losman
