NFL ROUNDUP News and notes

Lions: Rookie quarterback Joey Harrington will miss the rest of the season because of an irregular heartbeat. Harrington, the No. 3 overall draft pick out, left Sunday's game against Tampa Bay with the heart problem and was taken to the hospital for tests and observation. He was expected to be released from hospital Monday night. Doctors said Harrington's heartbeat returned to a normal rhythm before he was hospitalized. Coach Marty Mornhinweg said the ailment is not career-threatening. Safety Bracy Walker (lacerated liver) and defensive tackle Luther Elliss (ankle) also will miss the final two games of the season.
Chiefs: NFL rushing leader Priest Holmes has a right hip injury and probably will not play Sunday against San Diego. Holmes was injured in the third quarter of the 31-24 loss at Denver on Sunday. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI exam Monday, and the results will be known today. Holmes' 24 touchdowns are just two short of the NFL record held by Marshall Faulk. Holmes also leads the NFL with 2,287 yards from scrimmage, putting him within range of Faulk's record of 2,429.
Eagles: A.J. Feeley will get at least one more start at quarterback. Feeley has played well since replacing Koy Detmer, who went down with a dislocated left elbow in his only start filling in for Donovan McNabb, out with a broken left ankle. McNabb had targeted returning for the regular season finale against the New York Giants on Dec. 28. He is no longer on crutches but continues wearing a protective boot on his injured foot.
Rams: Trung Canidate has a chance to start this week ahead of struggling rookie Lamar Gordon if Marshall Faulk is still limited. Faulk hasn't started in five games because of a high ankle sprain. Faulk had 39 yards on nine carries and two catches for 7 yards Sunday night against the Cardinals. Canidate, the Rams' first-round pick in 2000, has 46 yards on 14 carries this season. Gordon has started the last five games. He has 228 yards rushing and a 3.5-yard average, and 28 catches and a 9-yard average.
Jaguars: Fullback Patrick Washington is probably out for the rest of the season with a third-degree sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his knee. When Washington was injured against Cincinnati, TE Pete Mitchell filled in at fullback.
Bills: Cornerback Jason Bostic tore ligaments in his right knee and probably will miss the rest of the season. Bostic is scheduled to have reconstructive surgery on Wednesday. Bostic was hurt during a punt return late in the third quarter of Sunday's 20-13 win over San Diego.
Packers: Undrafted free agent Kevin Barry made his first NFL start Sunday against San Francisco in place of Earl Dotson, making him the fourth offensive tackle to start this season. Dotson was scheduled for an MRI on Monday to determine what's causing irritation in his sciatic nerve in his back. Dotson and nose tackle Gilbert Brown (toe, foot, ankle), are questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo.
Panthers: Coach John Fox criticized backup quarterback Chris Weinke on Monday. Weinke relieved an injured Rodney Peete in the second quarter and went 3-of-7 for 14 yards with one interception in the Panthers' 30-14 loss to Pittsburgh. He was sacked twice. The Panthers picked up one first down in four possessions under Weinke. Peete returned in the second half after recovering from a blow to the back of the head and played the rest of the game. "There are usually reasons why guys are No. 2," Fox said of Weinke. "Chris has studied the game and practiced hard. We just have to get him to the point where he performs better in game conditions."
Redskins: Running back Stephen Davis is probably out for the season with a separated right shoulder, which could spell the end of his career with the Redskins. The team might also sign a punt returner this week. Champ Bailey, forced into the job after Jacquez Green was cut five weeks ago, has fumbled in consecutive games.
Giants: Backup running back and special teams player Damon Washington injured his knee and will probably miss the rest of the season. Cornerback Will Peterson missed the final three quarters against Dallas with a nerve injury in his neck and shoulder area, but he's expected back Sunday to go against the Colts' Marvin Harrison, who has caught an NFL single-season record 127 passes.
Falcons: Coach Dan Reeves does not expect Michael Vick to miss practice time this week because of a slightly swollen left thumb. Vick, who is left-handed, was injured after jamming his hand against another player's facemask in the second quarter Sunday. Cornerback Ray Buchanan has become a liability in a secondary with a sore abdomen.
Vikings: Offensive lineman Lewis Kelly was placed on injured reserve Monday with a hernia. The Vikings also cut safety Jason Perry and signed defensive tackle Cedric Killings and cornerback Carey Scott to fill the open spots. They released defensive end Mike Cecere from their practice squad and signed Kenny Sandlin to replace him.
Raiders: Cornerback Charles Woodson is not going to let an injury sideline him any longer. He said he'll play this week despite having a crack in the fibula bone of his right leg.
Buccaneers: Quarterback Brad Johnson is probable for next Monday night's game against the Steelers despite a sprained right thumb and lower back bruise. Johnson topped an injury report that included defensive tackle Anthony McFarland, who broke his right foot during Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Detroit Lions. McFarland is out for the season. Linebacker Nate Webster (right knee sprain) is questionable for this week, while cornerback Ronde Barber (right knee sprain), defensive tackle Warren Sapp (right elbow bruise) and defensive end Ellis Wyms (right ankle sprain) are probable. Safety John Lynch, who sat out the Detroit game with a neck sprain, was upgraded to probable.
Broncos: Linebacker Keith Burns has a sprained left shoulder, and his status is uncertain for Sunday's game against Arizona. Cornerback Deltha O'Neal has a bruised left knee, and both linebacker Ian Gold and safety Kenoy Kennedy each have a pinched nerve in their necks. Quarterback Brian Griese has some soreness in both shoulders, along with a bruised left thumb and soreness in his left knee.
