Duce to miss a month with torn meniscus

[BigEd76]

So Duce, Freddie and Ike have knee problems while Burgess and Mayberry are still healthy?

I think Ike has a brain contusion from his sideline antics against the Colts.

  Freddie talking again....to Peter King

I think the Eagles, whatever they're saying, have to be concerned at the prospect of playing three wideouts named Lewis, McMullen and Brown. Whatever happens to Terrell Owens -- contractually or with his groin -- the depth at receiver is going to sorely tested, as is the ability to make people fear the offense. I'm not saying Todd Pinkston (out for the year with a torn Achilles) is at all special, nor Freddie Mitchell (gone to Kansas City via low-cost free-agency), but the Eagles have lost their second and third/fourth receivers for the year, and as Mitchell told me over the weekend: "Last year, that offense would walk on the field and know they were going to beat the other team. This year, they've got to have some questions in their mind with all the new guys, and not knowing if they're going to have Brian Westbrook." I'm sure Westbrook will be in by opening day, and Owens will likely be there too. But after that, they'll be counting on quite a few very regular guys.

Coughlin dissatisfied with Giants' offense
The Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. - There seems to be little disagreement that the Giants' offense has lagged behind the defense during training camp.

On several occasions, head coach Tom Coughlin has been seen screaming and gesturing during practice, most recently on Monday morning when he ordered the second team off the field for a play after quarterback Jesse Palmer was inadvertently tripped by one of his offensive linemen.

During the joint practice with the Jets Saturday, the first-team offense was ineffective for most of the exercise. Monday, they were sluggish early before finding their stride.

"The offense has to learn to start fast and finish fast," Coughlin said. "Right now we start off by floundering around and then we get into things and work it out. We can't be like that. My patience for those types of practices is wearing thin."

Running back Tiki Barber echoed Coughlin's sentiments.

"We stunk today," he said matter-of-factly. "It's a mental grind right now, and guys are thinking too much instead of reacting and just playing football, and it's slowing us down. But I expect that to work itself out in the next few days."

Injury report: Starting cornerback Will Allen missed his second day of practice with a strained groin and was replaced by second-round draft pick Corey Webster. Other players who missed practice Monday morning were safety Curry Burns (concussion); linebackers Barrett Green (knee), Nick Greisen (hamstring strain), Reggie Torbor (strained hip flexor) and T.J. Hollowell (ankle sprain); tight end Jeremy Shockey (hamstring strain); wide receiver Jamaar Taylor (strained hip flexor); defensive end Eric Moore (knee sprain); and offensive linemen Wayne Lucier (calf strain) and Lewis Kelly (groin). Tim Carter (hamstring strain) sat out the evening workout.

Shockey dressed for the evening practice but did not participate in any drills. Taylor returned for individual workouts but did not take part in 11-on-11 drills.

Random team notes:

NFL | Rolle agrees to deal with Cards

Associated Press

Antrel Rolle, the kind of aggressive, physical defender coveted by Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green, agreed to a six-year contract with the team yesterday.

The University of Miami cornerback, the Cardinals' first-round draft selection, missed nine days of training camp.

Financial terms were not immediately available. Rolle is expected to start at left cornerback.

Cowboys. Jacob Rogers, making a strong bid to be the starting offensive right tackle for Dallas, missed practice while having an MRI exam on his sore left shoulder. Owner Jerry Jones said the exam found no major problems in the shoulder. Rogers had surgery on it in the off-season.

Ravens. Jamal Lewis is expected to put on pads and practice for the first time today.

The running back spent four months in a federal prison and two months in a halfway house for aiding a drug deal five years ago.

Jets. Quarterback Chad Pennington and newly signed cornerback Ty Law will not play in the preseason opener against the Detroit Lions on Friday, coach Herman Edwards said.

Broncos. Maurice Clarett missed another practice while he had an MRI exam on his sore right groin. The third-round draft pick has missed several of Denver's training-camp practices with injuries.

Rams. Cornerback Dwight Anderson, who had been competing for St. Louis' nickel-back job, was released for violating team rules.

Coach Mike Martz would not comment, but a Rams employee said Anderson missed curfew over the weekend.
