Kolb to start again for Eagles in Week 7

Those of you who picked up Philadelphia quarterback Kevin Kolb recently and were rewarded with a big performance in Week 6 may rest easy. Teammate Michael Vick (ribs) has already been ruled out for Week 7.

There is still no word from Indianapolis on the extent of the shoulder injury suffered by running back Joseph Addai on Sunday. The only comment so far has come from team president Bill Polian who said he doesn't think it is separated.

Oakland third-string quarterback Kyle Boller may get a start on Sunday. Bruce Gradkowsi (shoulder) and Jason Campbell (knee) are both nursing injuries so Boller may get the nod. He is only a desperation start in fantasy.

San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis had an MRI on his injured knee Monday which came back negative. If the contusion keeps him out on Sunday, Randy McMichael would be the likely starter for the 49ers.

Owners of New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes (ankle) should feel a lot better this week. The team released Shayne Graham on Monday and Tynes proclaimed himself good to go for Week 7.

 The same can not be said for San Diego kicker Nate Kaeding. He suffered a groin injury Sunday and is not expected to play in Week 7.


According to San Diego head coach Norv Turner, the toe injury suffered by tight end Antonio Gates on Sunday is not serious and he might be able to play this weekend. Turner said the injury is not related to the toe problems he had in the 2007 playoffs which required surgery.

Look for quarterback Phillip Rivers' numbers to go down as his entire starting receiving corps is knicked up. In addition to Gates, Malcom Floyd suffered a hamstring injury last week and is out for Sunday. Teammate Legedu Naanee also has hamstring issues and is listed as doubtful.


The news out of Tennessee on quarterback Vince Young is encouraging. He had an MRI on his knee and ankle Monday which revealed only mild sprains to both. He will probably be a game-time decision Sunday.

Washington has officially named wide receiver Anthony Armstrong a starter. He leap-frogged over Joey Galloway on the depth chart. He is at best a No. 3 wideout but that's better than no value at all.

Washington tight end Chris Cooley played through a concussion in Week 6. He has passed all the neurological tests so far and his status for Sunday is questionable.

Philadelphia receiver DeSean Jackson (concussion) is unlikely to play this weekend. The team has a bye in Week 8 and head coach Andy Reid would prefer if Jackson did not play until after that break.

 New Orleans running back Chris Ivory had 158 yards rushing in Week 6 and should be picked up if he's available. Ivory is in line for a lot of playing time against the Browns this weekend if Pierre Thomas (ankle) and Reggie Bush (leg) are unable to play.
