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 4-to-8 weeks. That makes his status very doubtful for the team's Sept. 8 regular-season opener at Oakland.

Dilfer was hurt 2:02 into 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 offseason.

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 because of a strained ligament in his left knee, his second injury of training camp.

Injury problems are a big reason Glenn hasn't duplicated his 1996 season 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.

Redskins

Coach Steve Spurrier said Danny Wuerffel will start Sunday's exhibition game against Pittsburgh. Wuerffel has had the best stats of the three quarterbacks vying for the starting job, but he's the only one without a start.

Wuerffel will play the first quarter, Sage Rosenfels the second quarter and Shane Matthews the second half. Rookie Patrick Ramsey might see his first action late in the game. Wuerffel will also start the following week at Tampa Bay.

Congressman J.C. Watts joined the team for practice and pulled a hamstring running windsprints at the end. "He tried to run those gassers back and across," Spurrier said. "Don't tell anyone we're running gassers. We don't want them to think we're working hard here."

With Samuels out at least two weeks because of a sprained ankle, Rod Jones got most of the first-team work at left tackle.

Cornerback Champ Bailey (dislocated pinkie) returned to practice. Wide receiver Jacquez Green sat out with bruised ribs.

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, sustained 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 later 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 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.

Chargers

Linebacker Junior Seau was back - for the most part - and running back LaDainian Tomlinson is expected to return to practice with the San Diego Chargers on Tuesday.

Seau tested his strained left calf in practice, but with about a quarter of his workout remaining, he aggravated his calf ailment when he collided with guard Toniu Fonoti on a screen pass.

"What happened was he kind of held me and it got caught in an awkward position," Seau said. "But for the most part, that is going to happen. What we are doing is the testing the calf to make sure it has enough endurance so I can go out and play."

Seau said he expects to go Friday against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. He said the same thing last week when he first injured his calf. But coach Marty Schottenheimer decided not to rush the 11-time Pro Bowl player back into action.

"We took it to the wall today and we are testing it every day," Seau said. "We are going to build on more reps, and today was the first day, and we're pretty happy with it."

Tomlinson has missed nearly two weeks due to a sprained left ankle. Tomlinson, who rushed for 1,236 yards as a rookie last season, should practice in Tuesday's second session. He went through a series of individual sprints before practice.

"It felt pretty good," Tomlinson said. "I think it did real well for the type of cutting I was doing. I'm real excited about it. I didn't know how well I would do coming out there cutting and running."

Tomlinson said he's hopeful he can play Friday night.

Backup defensive end Al Fontenot will probably be sidelined at least a month due to an injured biceps.

Jaguars

Backup center Kevin Long injured his right knee during morning practice. Tests showed a damaged knee ligament, and Long will be out indefinitely. Among those taking snaps at center with the second team in the afternoon was Todd Fordham, who normally plays tackle.

Lions

Offensive tackle Stockar McDougle walked off the practice field after slightly spraining his left knee, Lions coach Marty Mornhinweg said.

Wide receiver Bill Schroeder sat out of practice, still nursing a groin injury sustained in Sunday's morning practice. Schroeder was injured running a crossing route and catching a pass from Ty Detmer.

Chiefs

Running back Frank Moreau agreed to a two-year contract with Kansas City, the team that drafted him in 2000 and cut him a year later.

The Chiefs did not disclose the terms of the agreement.

Moreau played in three games, starting one, for Jacksonville last year after being cut by the Chiefs in the preseason. He rushed for 27 yards and one touchdown on eight carries.

Moreau, a fourth-round pick out of Louisville, played in 11 games for the Chiefs as a rookie. He carried 67 times for 179 yards and four touchdowns.

Bears

Defensive tackle Ted Washington will continue to miss some practices and will not play in Friday's game in St. Louis while recovering from offseason ankle surgery.

Kicker Paul Edinger iced his knee after practice because of a bruise sustained during Saturday's 27-3 loss to Denver. Edinger was standing on the sidelines watching a punt by teammate Brad Maynard when he got hit on the knee as play spilled over off the field. Edinger said he's able to kick despite the bruise.

Guard Mike Gandy injured his knee during the morning workout and left the field.
