Indianapolis Colts
Wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez may miss 2-6 weeks after picking up an injury against the Jaguars last weekend.

Yesterday we reported that the Eagles had released Hank Baskett, well the Colts have now snapped him up as cover for Gonzalez.

Philadelphia Eagles

San Diego Chargers
LaDainian Tomlinson, Nick Hardwick and Louis Vasquez all missed practice on Thursday after picking up injuries against Oakland.  This might leave them a little light when they face Baltimore in week 2.

Detroit Lions
Sad news that former coach Monte Clark has passed away.  Clark led them to the play-offs twice.  He was 72.

In 2-3 weeks’ time, we’ll take a final look before setting our season predictions in stone (for future gloating and/or ridiculing).

The division of quarterback turmoil! There’s so much to watch here, it becomes a hard division to call for the wrong reasons. One elite, one upgrade, one downgrade and one controversy looming – that’s the shape of the guys under centre in this division.
