Steve Smith is still listed as questionable, but he returned to field on Thursday and practiced again on Friday. This is a good sign that he’ll play against the Bucs, but be alert Sunday morning…Miami traded for Daunte Culpepper instead of signing free agent Drew Brees because Culpepper’s knee checked out better medically than Brees’ shoulder. Granted, the Saints have had an easier schedule than the Dolphins, but Brees has looked much better than Culpepper thus far…Laveranues Coles is questionable with a calf injury, but is expected to play according to the Newark Star-Ledger. If he is unable to go, the value of Jerricho Cotchery would jump, as he’d be the clear #1 option for Chad Pennington…It looks like the reign of Wali Lundy is coming to a close in Houston. Many thought that he might be this year’s Willie Parker, but HC Gary Kubiak said that “…what you’re going to see is Ronnie [Dayne] and Samkon [Gado]’s role get bigger and bigger as the weeks go on and on.” Ron Dayne has let down many a fantasy owner before, so it’s hard to get excited about his prospects in Houston. But Kubiak seems to really like what Dayne brings to the table. Samkon Gado has shown good production when he’s had the chance, so if Dayne blows another opportunity, Gado should pick up the ball and run with it, literally…Shaun Alexander missed practice this week, but is expected to practice today and is listed as probable. Alexander owners might want to add Maurice Morris to their roster if they haven’t already. This week isn’t a concern, but Alexander has had a good run the last few years without any major injuries, and it’s not smart to press your luck…Matt Jones missed practice yesterday with a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Colts. If he’s unable to practice Friday, it will boost the values of Reggie Williams and Ernest Wilford, who will both have ample opportunity in Jones’ absence…Chris Brown was added to the injury report and is questionable with a toe injury. Expect Travis Henry and LenDale White to share the load if Brown can’t go…Clinton Portis is apparently ready to go against the Texans this week, and should not be limited…Brian Westbrook missed practice again on Thursday with soreness in his knee. I have a feeling that Westbrook owners will be waking up most Sundays wondering if he’s going to play. The key is for the Eagles to stay in the playoff hunt to keep the franchise from shutting him down for the rest of the season. I know it’s early, but it’s never too early to prepare a Plan B. Correll Buckhalter would carry most of the load if Westbrook is unable to go, and is a must-handcuff at this point…Trent Green hasn’t been given clearance to drive yet. Those expecting Green back anytime soon ought to readjust their expectations. It sounds like he’s still a ways away from hitting the field…T.J. Houshmandzadeh took part in individual drills (good sign) on Thursday, but did not practice with the team (bad sign). He suffered this knee injury in the preseason against the Packers, and hasn’t played since. He’s got a tough matchup against the Steelers this week, but the game is important, so don’t be surprised if he plays. It will likely be a Sunday morning decision…Troy Williamson is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but participated in back-to-back practices and should play Sunday. He faces the Bears, so avoid him if you can.
