Elsewhere from around the NFL:

Cleveland: According to Profootballtalk.com, the Browns have no interest in dealing WR/KR Josh Cribbs. The Dolphins, Chiefs, Raiders, and Colts are reportedly interested, however the Cleveland Browns would prefer to hang onto him because of his “grossly below-market” contract that runs through 2012. Cribbs has threatened to hold out in the past, but so far he has not taken any action.

Denver: Broncos RB Correll Buckhalter (ankle) participated in a full practice Thursday. Buckhalter announced that he is 90 percent and will play Monday night against the Chargers. However, Knowshon Moreno will continue to receive the bulk of the carries.

Washington: Redskins RB Clinton Portis (calf) was limited again on Thursday. Portis often misses practice late in the week and still plays. We expect nothing different this week and Portis has a favorable matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Cincinnati: Carson Palmer (thumb) practiced fully again on Thursday. Palmer will start on Sunday and has a favorable matchup against the Texans.

Houston: Texans SLB Brian Cushing was held out of practice Thursday with a sore foot.
Cushing’s MRI and X-ray were negative and he’s expected to return to practice Friday. We expect Cushing to play Sunday.

New York: Giants CB Corey Webster is beginning to draw attention from opposing offenses as a “shutdown corner.” Just two years ago the New York media proclaimed Webster a bust. Now it appears as if Webster is earning the $43.5M extension he signed late last season.

New York: New York Giants DL Chris Canty underwent a procedure this week to stop bleeding in his injured calf. Canty’s calf has not been able to hear correctly due to swelling. The pass-rushing specialist is likely still two weeks from seeing the field.

Pittsburg: Steelers RB Willie Parker (turf toe) practiced in full again on Thursday. With Rashard Mendenhall (flu) sitting out, Parker handled most of the first-team work. We will not know which RB will take the majority of the snaps until game time.

Head coach Wade Phillips indicated Monday that Miles Austin’s role in the Cowboys’ offense will increase following his 250-yard game in Week 5. “He did the things we thought he could,” Phillips said. “You’re not going to make 250 yards every time, but he’s going to have a chance to make big plays.” Phillips has yet to confirm that Austin’s’ performance has earned the electric player a starting role.

Being a big-time wide receiver is nothing new for Austin. The third-year player played his college ball at Monmouth, where he amassed 150 receptions for 2,867 yards and 33 touchdowns.

Elsewhere around the NFL:

Buffalo: Bills owner Ralph Wilson said Monday that he is not ready to fire head coach Dick Jauron. “(Sunday) was so bad that it’s hard to make a decision,” Wilson said. “I’m not going to make any decisions during the middle of the season right now. At least right now.” Fantasy owners would be wise to stay away from the Bills players for the moment.

St. Louis: Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo confirmed Monday that Marc Bulger (rotator cuff) is on track to resume starting in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars passing defense has been poor at best this season and was just scorched for four touchdowns by injured Matt Hasselbeck.

Tennessee: Titans head coach Jeff Fisher reiterated after Sunday’s game that Kerry Collins remains the Tennessee Titans starting quarterback. Collins was pulled for Vince Young late in the game, prompting cheers from the home crowd. “We were three and a half, four scores down,” Fisher said. “The game was a little out of hand, and when games get out of hand, either way, you play your backup.” If Collins loses his starting job, fantasy owners should downgrade all Tennessee offensive players, including Chris Johnson.

Baltimore: Ravens coach John Harbaugh informed reporters Monday that Jared Gaither (neck) has a “real good chance” to return in Week 6. Rookie Michael Oher replaced Gaither Sunday against Cincinnati and did not give up a sack.

Buffalo: According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bills will not trade WR Terrell Owens before the October 20 deadline. Owens is on pace for 39 catches, 647 yards, and four touchdowns. The declining 35-year-old wouldn’t generate much interest, but he’s been a complete bust this season much like the entire Bills team.

Tennessee: Titans CB Nick Harper is out 4-6 weeks with a broken forearm. The Titans secondary is already thin and Tom Brady is coming to town this weekend.

Philadelphia: According to Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post, the Eagles and Steelers will make Kevin Curtis and Limas Sweed available for trade this weeks October 20th trade deadline. Also mentioned was Chiefs ILB Derrick Johnson. This is certainly a sign of the times, as good players are not normally traded in the NFL like other sports.

Oakland: Raiders coach Tom Cable says Chaz Schilens (foot) will be worked “into the mix” during practice this week. His status for Week 6 probably won’t be determined until later in the week, but the Raiders can certainly use him.

Texans Coach Gary Kubiak clarified his Sunday comments at Monday’s day-after press conference, saying he is “not going to abandon the run” despite the Texans’ struggles on the ground so far. Kubiak said Sunday night that if the Texans have to “throw it all the time, that’s what we’ll do.” Houston is ranked 30th in the NFL this season and coach Kubiak seems to be changing his running philosophy on a daily basis now.

Either Adam Jones was drunk out of his mind during the altercation or the former “Make it Rain” in the gentlemen club guy was just being himself.  Adam Jones knew coming into this season that he was going to have to be on his best behavior all day every day.  Per the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell – due to Adam Jones past behavioral problems with his former college and pro teams the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Tennessee Titans.  Commissioner Goodell is not a guy to play around with, as Adam Jones already knows via his year long suspension from the league last year.  The other Dallas Cowboy teammates are now having to answer questions about Adam Jones behavior; instead of questions about their upcoming opponent – the Arizona Cardinals.  Well owner Jerry Jones said that the Cowboys won’t do anything as far as punishment so Adam Jones is going to lineup against the Cardinals.  I wonder if Adam Jones is going to get a couple of questions from Larry Fitzgerald or whoever Adam Jones has to cover to try to get inside of his head to throw off his game.  Well I’m sure that the Arizona Cardinals fans will have some pretty nasty things to say to Adam Jones while he is on the sideline.  I can’t wait to see all of the interesting signs that the fans will have made for the pleasure of Mr. Adam Jones.  There might be – Starring Kevin Costner and Adam Jones in ‘The Bodyguard’ or ‘Who needs enemies when you have a Bodyguard’.

Everyone heard all summer how much Adam Jones was a changed man; from former Cowboy star – now NFL network employee Deon Sanders to Dallas Cowboys head ball coach Wade Phillips.  Just seems like it was what a lot of people were hoping for – the best, maybe wishing upon a star.  Seems like it is more of the same for Adam Jones.  Doesn’t matter if he changed his name or not.  If Adam Jones doesn’t change his character it won’t matter.  Adam Jones needs to realize that he doesn’t want to be talked about being a wasted talent who couldn’t stay out of trouble and ruined his NFL career – like former potential NFL star Lawrence Phillips who was just sentenced in Los Angeles to 10 years in prison after being convicted of assault with a deadly weapon.  Adam Jones might not be on this horrible of a path but it is possible.  After getting a couple million dollars a year most athletes don’t know what to do with themselves after the NFL.  Unfortunately that sometimes lead to trouble.

Whatever signs or harassment that Adam Jones will experience this Sunday, he better stop for a second and take it all in.  This could be the last game that Adam Jones plays in the NFL for awhile.
