• Terrell Thomas' torn ACL, suffered Monday night vs. the Bears, opened the door for Aaron Ross to jump back in to the Giants' starting rotation in the secondary.

• Dallas currently has a whopping four kickers on its roster after signing Shayne Graham. The question is: Which one will still be around come Week 1?

• Speculation's already flying around that the Raiders may move Terrelle Pryorto wide receiver, after landing the troubled star in the supplemental draft.
