| Laurence Maroney did not dress Monday due to his sore groin. Sammy Morris got the start in his place. |
|
| Alex Smith, QB, San Francisco 49ers | Monday 10/1, 5:32 PM CT |
|
| The 49ers will be without their starting quarterback for at least one week. The Associated Press is reporting that Alex Smith will not play against the Ravens because of the separated shoulder he suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. No timetable has been set for his return, but he will not need surgery. Smith's injury will probably sideline him for at least one month, and possibly much longer. Of course, he was playing so badly that he was of no use fantasy owners even before he got. Losing Smith is a blow to the entire 49ers offense, especially Darrell Jackson, who had his best day as a Niner in the last full game Smith played. Trent Dilfer will start in Smith's place. |

| The Redskins signed Keenan McCardell on Monday. Terms were not disclosed. Safety Omar Stoutmire was released. |

|
| Anthony Henry suffered a high right ankle sprain during the first quarter on Sunday. X-rays were negative, but he will undergo an MRI on Monday. "I was going to try and come back and play," Henry tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "We'll check it out and see what's up. Everything will be cool." |

| Greg Ellis, LB, Dallas Cowboys | Monday 10/1, 8:54 AM CT |
|
| Greg Ellis made his season debut on Sunday, and the timing makes more sense after what we learned later in the day. Agent Butch Williams was in Dallas over the weekend, and the Cowboys reportedly worked out a restructured contract for Ellis, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The veteran's contract still runs through 2009, but a portion of his base salary has been converted into bonuses. |

|
| Keenan McCardell appears close to signing with the Redskins. He could be practicing with the team as soon as Monday, according to the Washington Post. It's possible this means that Santana Moss could miss some games due to his groin injury, or else the Redskins are just trying to add some veteran depth for the long haul. It will be interesting to see if Moss is able to practice on Wednesday. |

| Al Harris, CB, Green Bay Packers | Monday 10/1, 8:05 AM CT |
|
| Already battling back and elbow injuries, Al Harris missed some plays Sunday with a hand injury. "I don't feel good," said Harris, who indicated that he was enduring the most pain from his back, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "The elbow will always be an issue until I get some rest." He didn't sound confident about playing in the next game, but we'll have to see how his body responds to treatment during the week. |

|
| Could Jake Delhomme require surgery to repair the damage in his strained elbow? Coach John Fox admitted Sunday that is a possibility and that surgery would "thwart the majority" of the quarterback's season, according to the Charlotte Observer. "There's an option that he could have surgery," Fox added. "I can't tell him what he's going to have. It's his arm and his body, but that is a possibility." It sounds like surgery is likely at some point but that he will try to rehab it in an attempt to save his season and delay surgery until after the season. We'll have to wait for more information, though, before we know exactly what is happening with Delhomme. David Carr will start until Delhomme is ready to play. |

|
| It appears that it's not a certainty that Laurence Maroney will be able to play on Monday night. He's looking like a game-time decision, according to the Boston Herald. Maroney was limited in practice this week and is listed as questionable due to a groin injury. We'll have to wait and see whether he's listed as active about an hour before the game starts this evening. |

|
| LaMont Jordan was knocked out of yesterday's game after severely aggravating his nagging back injury. He was on crutches afterward, moving around gingerly, according to the Contra Costa Times. "We do not know the severity of it," Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said. The Raiders have their bye this week, so he'll get some extra time to recover. If Jordan isn't ready for Week 6, Dominic Rhodes will be off his suspension and likely would start. |
|
| Alex Smith, QB, San Francisco 49ers | Monday 10/1, 7:22 AM CT |
|
| Alex Smith suffered a separated right shoulder during Sunday's game and did not return. Coach Mike Nolan said he considered Smith to be doubtful for Week 5 against the Ravens, according to the Contra Costa Times. Trent Dilfer replaced Smith and was pretty awful (12-of-33 for 128 yards and two interceptions), so he wouldn't be an appealing option against the Ravens. |
|
|
|
| Joseph Addai exited Sunday's game with a bruised shoulder and did not return. The Colts had the game under control at the time, and coach Tony Dungy said Addai would have come back in had the Broncos scored again, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Backup Kenton Keith did well while Addai was out and makes a good handcuff. But right now, it appears that Addai escaped without a serious injury and probably will be ready for Week 5. |

|
|
| Travis Henry left Sunday's game briefly after spraining his right ankle, but he returned to finish the contest. He was taken for X-rays after the game and will be further evaluated on Monday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Henry owners can only see the brittle RB get dinged up so many times before handcuffing him with backup Selvin Young, who played well Sunday in Henry's absence. |

|
| John Lynch was unable to play through his sore groin on Sunday. "I felt all right, but it was still there," Lynch told the Rocky Mountain News. "The trainers, Mike (Shanahan) and everyone made the decision for me at that point. I went out there (Sunday), but I don't think I had much of a chance." Lynch said he hopes to play in Week 5 against the Chargers, but we'll have to wait to see how his groin responds over the next week. |
