Chiefs

Well…they did it. We all expected it and they did it. The San Diego Chargers released 30-year-old running back LaDainian Tomlinson last Tuesday.

The man who kept the electricity in the Chargers offense for the past eight years will be looking for a new home over the course of the next few weeks but he shouldn’t have to look too hard. There are a plethora of teams that should be willing to glance in L.T.’s direction for next season.

Mike Holmgren will be joining the Cleveland Browns after agreeing to become the team’s president.

"We are pleased to announce that Mike Holmgren has agreed to join the Cleveland Browns," owner Randy Lerner said in a statement. "We will spend the rest of the week finalizing the details of the agreement."

Larry Johnson used to be associated with LaDainian Tomlinson and Frank Gore. Fantasy owners watered at the mouth when Johnson was available. In 2006 and 2007 Johnson had over 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Now?

Johnson is on his way to being the fourth running back on Cincinnati’s depth chart after leaving Kansas City with a career low of 2.9 yards per carry. And this is just one more reason why the Bengals are committed to destroying anything good they get their hands on.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu hurt his knee during their home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and it seems the Steelers will have to carry on without Polamalu, again this season, for more than one game.

Though the Oakland Raiders lost to the San Diego Chargers, quarterback JaMarcus Russell seems to think he did a good job and honestly looking at the Raiders at the moment, he certainly did.

Though he did not complete a touchdown pass and only threw one interception and also one fumble, Russell passed for 109 yards.

The major problem with the Raiders is not Russell, it’s the structure of the team.

In this letter to Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, an anonymous fan of the the Chiefs and Johnson express the positive role that Johnson has had on his young son and his love for the game of football.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has released the following statement apologizing for remarks he made yesterday.

"First of all, I want to apologize to the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL, Commissioner Goodell, the Chiefs organization, Coach Todd Haley, his staff, and my teammates for the words I used yesterday. I regret my actions. The words were used by me in frustration, and they were not appropriate. I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said."

According to ESPN.com, the Dallas Cowboys will be missing two of their starters wide receiver Roy Williams and safety Gerald Sensabaugh for their upcoming road game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Also America’s Team is expected to miss running back Felix Jones as well.

Williams, the Cowboys’ star receiver who the team traded for from the Detroit Lions last season, has a rib injury, with Sensabaugh nursing a broken thumb and Jones on the other hand out due to a knee injury.

Once it was revealed that both Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook were in practice on Monday for the Philadelphia Eagles, it was only a matter of time before head coach Andy Reid confirmed their status for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Coach Reid confirmed that both players will not only play on Sunday, they are both returning to the starting lineup for Philadelphia as well.

McNabb, who sustained a rib injury during the Eagles game against the Carolina Panthers, will wear a protective gear to shield his rib from further injury when the Eagles play on Sunday.

When the Philadelphia Eagles cut veteran quarterback Jeff Garcia, it was a sign that the organization was expecting franchise quarterback Donovan McNabb to be back and maybe outsiders did not anticipate it to be this soon.


According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, on Monday, McNabb and running back Brian Westbrook returned to practice after missing time and games due to different injuries.
