Williams hobbled off in the final minute of Carolina's win over San Francisco last Sunday. Raiders: Jason Campbell will make his third straight start at quarterback for Oakland in place ofthe injured Bruce Gradkowski. Coach Tom Cable said Friday that Gradkowski is making progress in his recovery from a separated right shoulder. Cable says there's a cross check and a game disqualification for fighting. Lee didn't get away unscathed, as he got two minutes for roughing andtwo for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Other penalties were called because of the scrum, and it resulted in Elmira gettingfive minutes of power play. The Soaring Eagles scored twice in that span to close out the scoring, and they kept their composure as Morrisville picked up some more aggressive penalties before the game ended. "Unfortunately, there are times when the game gets carried away," Elmira coach 14 chance Gradkowski could be healthy enough to be the backup Sunday against Seattle. Vikings: Quarterback Brett Favre has returned to practice. Favre was on the field for drills for the first time this week.
He had tape on his left ankle, whichhas two fractures, threatening his ability to play on Sunday at New England. Favre threw afew easy passes in warmups, but he didn't roll out or take any deep dropbacks while reporters were allowed to watch. Aaron Saul said. "The officials made the right calls. We just have to make sure the guys protect themselves." Archambault said Saul helped keep things under control.
"Coach did agood job keeping us focused," he said. Saul was happy he got more time to work with his young team following a tough first weekend. "It was nice to get more practice time in. We need more time to jell" he said. "The effort is there.
We're still moving lines, trying guys in different spots. We have lots of guys who can play." ma Drive, Bishops Small Mall, Ithaca. No cover. 257-2757. STEREOPTICON HALLOWEEN PARTY, costume party with prizes; 10 p.m.
