NEW YORK--

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced today that the NFL season will be prolonged indefinitely until every starter in the league suffers an injury. So far only a dozen first stringers have gone down in the meaningless games, a number Goodell said fell far short of expectations.

"We've seen some lovely injuries this preseason, but the number has been way to low," Goodell told reporters today. "There are still scores of starting players who remain healthy. So we're going to keep scheduling these games in the hopes that every player suffers some kind of an injury, preferably a season-ending one. After all, what is the point of playing exhibition games if everyone's going to come out of it healthy? We haven't seen one prayer circle yet. What a waste of time."

Goodell also announced that ticket prices for the remaining games would be tripled just for the hell of it.

Eagles Notes | Trade of Holcomb appears likely

More on the Eagles
PITTSBURGH - Barring injury to one of the Eagles' other three quarterbacks, Kelly Holcomb is probably spending his final days in Philadelphia.
According to a league source, as many as four teams have contacted the Eagles about acquiring Holcomb, and the team intends to move him this week as long as Donovan McNabb, A.J. Feeley and rookie Kevin Kolb got through last night's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers healthy.

Two of the teams involved in talks with the Eagles are the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons. The Eagles are hoping to get at least a sixth-round pick in return for Holcomb, but they may have to settle for a seventh-round selection.

The Vikings are in desperate need of a veteran backup quarterback to Tarvaris Jackson, a second-year player who is opening the season as a starter for the first time in his career. At the moment, Brooks Bollinger is Jackson's projected backup, but he is coming off a pathetic performance Saturday in the Vikings' 30-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Given that head coach Brad Childress' offense is so similar to what the Eagles run, it would seem to be a natural fit for Holcomb to move to the Vikings.

The Falcons, of course, have their own well-publicized problems at quarterback created by Michael Vick's dogfighting saga, which ended with his indefinite suspension last week. The Falcons also lost backup D.J. Shockley to injury. At the moment, their top two quarterbacks are Joey Harrington and Chris Redman.

Another team that might have some interest in Holcomb is the New England Patriots, who recently signed 43-year-old Vinny Testaverde to be their third quarterback behind Tom Brady and Matt Cassel.

Holcomb, acquired in an off-season trade with the Buffalo Bills, became the odd man out in the quarterback rotation as soon as the Eagles made Kolb their first pick in the NFL draft in April. Holcomb has played in just one of the Eagles' three preseason games, completing 7 of 9 passes for 129 yards against the Baltimore Ravens.

Holcomb, 34, did not play in the Eagles' second preseason game against Carolina or last night. He hasn't played in the regular season since 2005 when he started eight games for the Bills and had respectable numbers, completing 67.4 percent of his passes, with 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

.

Sav's job. Coach Andy Reid declined to say the punter's job was Sav Rocca's to lose last week, but the former Australian-rules football star may have solidified his roster spot in the first half.

His first punt of the night landed at the 5-yard line but was nullified by a penalty. He backed up 5 yards and put the next punt down at the 9-yard line. Early in the second quarter, Rocca nailed a 59-yard punt that was fumbled by returner Willie Reid and eventually recovered at the 2-yard line for a net punt of 64 yards.

Interest in Trotter. A league source said last night that Tampa Bay and Denver are the only teams that have expressed interest in linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, who was released by the Eagles last week. Both teams apparently are interested in Trotter as a backup, and it seems unlikely that he will be interested in playing that role.

Extra points. Safety Sean Considine left the field at the end of the first half with a mild concussion. . . . Tight end L.J. Smith, bothered by a groin injury for most of the preseason, dressed for pregame warm-ups but did not play, which means he probably will not play a snap in an exhibition game before the Sept. 9 season opener in Green Bay. . . . The Eagles are off today, then resume practice tomorrow at the NovaCare Complex. Initial cuts could come as soon as today. Their final preseason game is Thursday against the New York Jets.

Maybe Falcons in their desperation will throw us a 6th or 5th round pick
