ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Broncos running back Travis Henry will miss his third straight game Sunday at Chicago with a left knee injury.

Backup Selvin Young practiced on a limited basis Friday because of a strained right knee and will be a game-time decision. He's listed as questionable.

Henry, who partially tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee against Detroit on Nov. 4, is also battling the flu.

If Young and Henry can't play, the Broncos may turn to first-year University of South Florida product Andre Hall.

Broncos receiver Javon Walker had a little swelling in his surgically repaired right knee following practice Thursday, but Coach Mike Shanahan expected him to play Sunday. Walker has missed eight games because of the injury.

BILLS: Rookie running back Marshawn Lynch will miss his second consecutive game because of a badly sprained left ankle when Buffalo plays at Jacksonville on Sunday.

Veteran Anthony Thomas started for Lynch in last week's loss to New England, and will likely do the same against the Jaguars.

The Bills also released linebacker Leon Joe and signed cornerback Dustin Fox off their practice squad.

BROWNS: Rookie cornerback Eric Wright will miss Sunday's game against the Texans with a sprained right knee he insists is not as seriously injured as has been reported.

DOLPHINS: Middle linebacker Zach Thomas (concussion, migraines) has been ruled out for his fourth consecutive game and will not play at Pittsburgh on Monday night.

EAGLES: Quarterback Donovan McNabb is doubtful to start against New England after missing his third straight practice Friday because of a sprained ankle and injured thumb. A.J. Feeley would start if McNabb can't go.

Strong safety Quintin Mikell also is doubtful with a sprained knee, meaning Philadelphia might have to start third-string J.R. Reed (USF).

PANTHERS: Cornerback Chris Gamble is doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans with a broken right thumb, while linebacker Thomas Davis is questionable after missing practice Friday with a foot injury.

REDSKINS: Concerned that fullback Mike Sellers could miss Sunday's game against Tampa Bay because of a back injury, Washington re-signed Brian Kozlowski to the active roster.

STEELERS: Safety Troy Polamalu (sprained knee) and wide receiver Santonio Holmes (sprained ankle) won't play Monday against Miami after missing practice Friday for a third consecutive day. Tyrone Carter will replace Polamalu and Nate Washington will start for Holmes.

TITANS: Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth (hamstring) took limited first-team reps with the Titans' defense Friday, but will be a game-time decision Sunday at Cincinnati.

Starting right guard Benji Olson (back) will be out for a second consecutive week.

VIKINGS: Rookie running back Adrian Peterson was upgraded to questionable Friday, increasing his chances of playing against the New York Giants on Sunday.

Peterson tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee two weeks ago against Green Bay, but Coach Brad Childress said he thought the NFL's leading rusher was progressing ahead of schedule this week in practice.
