NFL ROUNDUP | Training camp news and notes

Eagles: With Duce Staley still a holdout, second-year back Brian Westbrook bruised a bone on his right knee Wednesday while trying to catch a pass from Donovan McNabb during practice. Westbrook bobbled the pass and reached back to grab the ball when safety Michael Lewis hit him. The knee gave out when Westbrook attempted to regain his footing. Westbrook underwent an MRI and was scheduled to be examined by team physician Peter DeLuca.
Patriots: Guard Marques McFadden and wide receiver DeVeren Johnson, both recently released by the Cowboys, were signed. McFadden, a sixth-round selection by the Cowboys in the 2002 draft, played in three games for Dallas last season before he was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Johnson was the Cowboys' second selection in the sixth round of this year's draft out of Sacred Heart (Conn.) Also, wide receiver Dan Stricker was placed on the injured reserved.
Jets: Coach Herman Edwards said that 16 to 18 players needed IVs after practice Tuesday on one of the hottest days of camp. DE Bryan Thomas (ankle) and CB Jamie Henderson (knee) are questionable for Saturday's game against the Saints. WR Jonathan Carter is out with a knee injury. Also, the team signed offensive lineman Isaac Herring, a rookie free agent from BYU.
Giants: Tight end Jeremy Shockey caught grief from coach Jim Fassel after spiking the ball following a touchdown catch in front of safety Ryan Clark. The NFL is cracking down on taunting this season, and spiking a ball in front of a defender after making a catch is a 15-yard penalty. Rookie David Diehl has replaced Tam Hopkins at right guard on the offensive line.
Panthers: Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins sprained his left ankle. His injury came shortly after quarterback Rodney Peete jammed his right middle finger and stopped practicing. Peete said he'll be ready to play, despite sitting out Wednesday with a jammed finger on his throwing hand.
Rams: Brian Natkin, who signed as a tight end two months ago, worked with the No. 1 unit this week at fullback and was declared the starter by coach Mike Martz. Free agent Chad Kuhns started against Oakland in the preseason-opening 7-6 loss, but is injured. Natkin was in Tennessee's training camp in 2002 and briefly made the Titans' roster in 2001.
Lions: First-round pick Charles Rogers is expected to make his debut Saturday against Cincinnati, but Detroit defenders Dre' Bly and Robert Porcher will miss the game with injuries. Wide receiver Rogers will play with a splint on his dislocated left ring finger. Bly, Detroit's biggest free-agent acquisition, is recovering from a sprained ankle. Porcher, a team elder, is hampered by a knee problem.
Texans: Pro Bowl cornerback Aaron Glenn remained limited in practice with a sore left hamstring and will not play in Friday's game against the Cowboys. The move is precautionary, and coaches say he would have been available if it were a regular-season game. David Carr is expected to be in for 20 to 25 plays but Houston coach Dom Capers said the quarterback could return to the game if there's a chance to work a two-minute drill.
Titans: Cornerback Andre Woolfolk needs rest, not surgery, for his dislocated left big toe. Coach Jeff Fisher said that Woolfolk, the team's top draft choice, will wear a protective boot for two weeks and be out of action up to four weeks.
Jaguars: Defensive tackle Larry Smith was waived Wednesday, more than two weeks after he collapsed on the field because of heat exhaustion. Coach Jack Del Rio said the fifth-year player, the team's second-round draft pick in 1999, came into camp out of shape and was late to practice Tuesday.
49ers: Pro Bowl defensive tackle Bryant Young will miss the next two weeks of training camp after he has surgery today to remove a bone spur from his left ankle. Young, a 10-year veteran, has made four Pro Bowls. He should recover from surgery in time for the regular season, but he will miss the next two preseason games.
Seahawks: Defensive tackle Chad Eaton won't be in the lineup on opening day. Eaton had minor surgery on his right knee on Sunday and is expected to be out four to six weeks. He's getting around on crutches at camp. Fourteen-year veteran John Randle will start in Eaton's place.
