| (Best E Casino) - Despite a sore shoulder, David Carr will likely make his return to the starting lineup on Sunday afternoon, when the Houston Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in an AFC South tilt at Alltel Stadium. "I plan on playing," Carr said. "It's all going to depend on when I can practice and what I can do. If it gets better like it has been getting better, then I plan on playing. You never know. We'll have to see how it responds." Carr didn't start last Sunday's 17-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, |

| Jacksonville, FL (Best E Casino) - The Jacksonville Jaguars released Keith Mitchell, just months after the linebacker briefly lost feeling in his extremities while attempting to make a tackle. Mitchell suffered the injury on September 14 during a 38-17 loss to Buffalo. He was injured in the first quarter of that contest while making a hit on Buffalo running back Travis Henry. Mitchell was carted off the field on a stretcher and taken to the hospital, where he later regained feeling and had movement in all his ext |

| (Best E Casino) - With the Keyshawn Johnson controversy finally behind them, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will shift their focus to making a late season playoff push when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Alltel Stadium on Sunday. Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden kept his team focused on the task at hand last week and it resulted in a 19-13 win over the New York Giants on Monday night. The Bucs' passing game didn't suffer a bit without Johnson on the field, racking up 265 yards. Johnson's replacement Charles Le |

The 28-year-old Mack, who was signed in the offseason by the Texans, had spent his first four campaigns with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mack had backed up Fred Taylor in Jacksonville before he was named Houston's starting back in training camp. The Texans' running game never fully got going and Davis was named the starter on October 19 and has not relinquished the role since. |

Houston's top back Domanick Davis must be salivating after watching Tennessee's average running game eat up 144 yards on the ground against Atlanta last week. Davis, who was held to just 69 yards on 24 carries (2.9 ypc) by the Patriots, has posted only 137 yards on 50 attempts in the last two games (2.74 ypc).

| Jacksonville, FL (Best E Casino) - Jacksonville Jaguars starting quarterback Byron Leftwich may be benched in favor of backup David Garrard for this Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, head coach Jack Del Rio said Monday. The 2-9 Jaguars, coming off a 13-10 loss to the New York Jets, have scored just one touchdown in the last two games. Del Rio indicated he will make his decision later this week, but also conceded that Mark Brunell, the starter at the beginning of the season, isn't an option right now. Leftwich, who |

The Bucs' offense is far from fine, as it struggled even with Keyshawn Johnson in the lineup. Last week, the Bucs had just 10 first downs versus Green Bay. Brad Johnson was limited to a season-low 149 passing yards and was intercepted twice. The lone bright spot was Thomas Jones' 134 rushing yards on nine carries.

| Foxboro, MA (Best E Casino) - The New England Patriots signed free agent wide receiver J.J. Stokes Tuesday to an undisclosed contract. Stokes, 31, was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this season after catching just 13 passes for 116 yards. The former first-round draft pick was signed this past off-season in the hopes of boosting the Jags' receiving corps, but was cut after the Jacksonville claimed Kevin Johnson off waivers from the Cleveland Browns.
