Trent Dilfer's chances of starting Seattle's regular-season opener don't look good.

Seattle coach Mike Holmgren said Monday that tests on the right knee Dilfer injured in Saturday night's 28-10 exhibition loss to Indianapolis indicated he would be out four-to-eight weeks. That makes his status very doubtful for the team's Sept. 8 regular-season opener at Oakland.

Dilfer was hurt with 2:02 gone in the second quarter after completing 9 of 11 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. The Seahawks led 10-0 when Dilfer left. He was replaced by Matt Hasselbeck, who was 14-for-22 for 139 yards, with two interceptions.

Dilfer signed a one-year contract with Seattle before last season to back up Hasselbeck, who had never started a regular-season game before coming to Seattle from Green Bay at the start of last season.

Dilfer went 4-0 when Hasselbeck was injured, improving his string of victories to 15 straight starts and was given the starting job in the off-season.

Holmgren said the team was looking for a veteran quarterback to back up Hasselbeck.

Packers

So far, Terry Glenn has lived up to his reputation, both good and bad.

He's impressed the Green Bay Packers by running terrific routes and showing he's got great hands and enormous potential - and he's disappointed them by proving he can't stay on the field.

Glenn's latest injury, a strained left knee, is worse than first thought and he'll miss a week to 10 days of camp.

Glenn has been sidelined since Wednesday with a strained ligament in his left knee, his second injury of training camp.

Injury problems are a big reason Glenn hasn't duplicated his rookie season in 1996, when he set an NFL rookie record with 90 receptions for New England. He's played in every game only once, in 2000.

He missed all but four games last year because of injuries and disputes with the Patriots.

Panthers

Rookie DeShaun Foster has earned some playing time with the first team following his performance in Saturday night's preseason opener against the Washington Redskins.

Coach John Fox said he hasn't decided who will start against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, but he will rotate Foster and Lamar Smith, who is currently the team's top back on the depth chart.

Foster, the team's second-round draft pick from UCLA, rushed 61 yards for a touchdown on his first play from scrimmage. He finished with 87 yards on seven carries and turned a couple of runs that seemed destined for losses into gains.

Smith, playing against Washington's starters, was held to minus-3 yards on four carries and dropped a pass before leaving in the second quarter.

Bills

Buffalo's offensive line, already down two injured starters, suffered another blow when both starting left tackle Jonas Jennings and his replacement were hurt.

Jennings sprained an ankle, and was on crutches after the practice. Head coach Gregg Williams said it was too early to tell how long Jennings would be out, but added that precautionary X-rays were negative.

A short time later, Marcus Price, who had moved in at left tackle, was knocked unconscious and was diagnosed with a concussion. After Price left the practice, Kris Farris played left tackle.

Both starting guards, Ruben Brown and Jerry Ostroski, missed the Bills' first preseason game. After that game Friday, Williams indicated that Brown would play in Friday's home game against Minnesota.

Falcons

Linebacker Sam Rogers, who spent most of his career with the Buffalo Bills, signed with Atlanta.

The 6-foot-3, 245 pounder played in 15 games last season with the San Diego Chargers, finishing with four tackles and one sack. He was waived by the Chargers last month before training camp.

The Falcons are worried about the condition of rookie Will Overstreet, who was playing on the first team at weakside linebacker until he injured his left shoulder at practice a week ago. Overstreet didn't play in the first preseason game, a 23-13 victory over Jacksonville on Friday night

Drafted in the second round of the 1994 draft by Buffalo, Rogers played seven seasons for the Bills before being waived in March 2001. Wade Phillips, the Falcons' new defensive coordinator, held that position and then was head coach when Rogers played there.

Jaguars

Backup center Kevin Long injured his right knee during morning practice. MRI results were pending, but coach Tom Coughlin said the initial diagnosis was a damaged MCL. Because of the injury, left guard Brad Meester will get more snaps at center in upcoming practices
