Tuesday news and notes

Priest Holmes, RB, Kansas City. Holmes still hasn't been cleared to play this week at Buffalo after suffering a concussion two weeks ago at San Diego. I'll keep an eye on this situation.

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers. Roethlisberger will sit again this week after having minor knee surgery last week. Charlie Batch will make his second straight start.

Duce Staley, RB, Steelers. Head coach Bill Cowher said Staley will likely start this week against Cleveland with Jerome Bettis and Willie Parker both questionable.

Michael Bennett, RB, Minnesota. Bennett may have gotten himself out of the doghouse with a 106-yard performance against Detroit.

Marc Bulger, QB, St. Louis. Bulger should be back from his shoulder injury this week.

Torry Holt, WR, St. Louis. Like Bulger, Holt will be back this week.

Issac Bruce, WR, St. Louis. Bruce's turf toe is still bothering him, but he could be back this week. He's still questionable, though.

Anthony Thomas, RB, New Orleans. Thomas was signed by the Saints to compete with Aaron Stecker as a backup to Antowain Smith. Thomas was released by Dallas last week.
