Pre-game tidbits, 1 p.m. (ET) games

Here are a few notes, including updated injury information for each of today's first set of Week 2 games.


Giants at Rams: Rams have WR Drew Bennett (foot), DE Leonard Little (hamstring) and LG Jacob Bell (hamstring) inactive. James Hall will start at RDE, with Chris Long shifting from the right side to Little's LDE spot. Adam Goldberg to start for Bell. Rookie WR Donnie Avery (knee) will play for St. Louis, but newly-signed veteran Eddie Kennison is inactive. For Giants, DE Mathias Kiwanuka (ankle) is active and will start.

Bills at Jaguars: Jags WR Jerry Porter (quest., hamstring) will miss a second straight game. Starting MLB Mike Peterson also inactive for Jacksonville, which is surprising since he wasn't on the injury report. Daryl Smith likely to start in the middle for the Jaguars, who will also be without center Brad Meester (biceps) and WR Troy Williamson (thigh). No major injuries to report for the Bills.

Titans at Bengals: Everyone probably knows by now that Kerry Collins will start for the Titans at QB in place of Vince Young (knee), but Tennessee will have All-Pro DT Albert Haynesworth (concussion) in the lineup. Bengals won't have SS Dexter Jackson (broken thumb), WR Andre Caldwell (toe) and DT Pat Sims (toe).

Bears at Panthers: Panthers will start Geoff Hangartner for Travelle Wharton (knee) at left guard. LB Na'il Diggs (shoulder), CB Chris Gamble (upper arm) and TE Dante Rosario (foot) are all active for Carolina. Bears relatively healthy except for rookie first-round pick Chris Williams (back surgery) at offensive tackle.

Packers at Lions: RB Ryan Grant (hamstring) and CB Charles Woodson (toe) are active and will start for Packers, but Green Bay won't have center Scott Wells (back) or WR Ruvell Martin (finger). Lions will have standout LB Ernie Sims (ankle) in the starting lineup.

Colts at Vikings: Colts to be without All-Pro center Jeff Saturday (knee) and TE Dallas Clark (knee), with rookie Jamey Richard likely to start for Saturday for a second straight week. CB Kelvin Hayden (hamstring, quest.) is active for Indianapolis. For Vikings, Artis Hicks (elbow) is active and will start a second straight game in place of the suspended Bryant McKinnie at left offensive tackle.

Raiders at Chiefs: CB DeAngelo Hall (elbow), SS Gibril Wilson (elbow) and DE Derrick Burgess (shoulder) will all start on defense for the Raiders in what reportedly may be Lane Kiffin's last game. Second-year pro Mario Henderson to start for Oakland at left offensive tackle in place of Kwame Harris (knee). As expected, Damon Huard will be under center for the Chiefs with Brodie Croyle inactive with a separated shoulder.

Saints at Redskins: Injury-plagued Saints to be without three starters in the secondary -- CB Mike McKenzie (knee surgery), SS Roman Harper (hamstring) and CB Randall Gay (hamstring) -- as well as regular SLB Scott Fujita (knee). Veteran Aaron Glenn and rookie Tracy Porter will start on the corners for New Orleans, with rookie Jo-Lonn Dunbar making his first career start in place of Fujita. Saints also missing top WR Marques Colston (thumb). For the Redskins, H.B. Blades will start for Marcus Washington (hamstring) at strongside linebacker and rookie Chris Horton takes the place of Reed Doughty (stomach flu) at strong safety.
