12 p.m.: Wide receiver Roy Williams will be out for the Cowboys. Sam Hurd will start in his place.

Drew Stanton will again be starting for the Lions — Shaun Hill will be available as the backup.

11:30 a.m.: Matt Cassel is active for the Chiefs in the wake of his appendectomy and is expected to start Sunday's game at St. Louis. Cassel missed last week's action in San Diego, and Dwayne Bowe and the Chiefs offense struggled mightily with Brody Croyle under center.

Both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers will miss their games this week, meaning that Joe Webb will start in Minnesota, and Matt Flynn will start for Green Bay at New England on Sunday night. Colt McCoy will return as the starter in Cleveland over Jake Delhomme, and Rex Grossman will surprisingly get the nod over Donovan McNabb for the Redskins against the Cowboys.

DeSean Jackson had been bothered by a foot injury this week in practice, but he will be good to go on Sunday, as will Terrell Owens, Mario Manningham. Austin Collie will finally return after recovering from a concussion.

Both Joseph Addai and Mike Hart, however, are inactive for the Colts, as is Chris Ivory for New Orleans.

Tight ends Heath Miller and Todd Heap have been ruled out.

Maurice Jones-Drew was listed as questionable, but he is active and good to go. Willis McGahee has been ill this week, but he is active as well.
