· BEARS: Defensive tackle Tommie Harris, who made the Pro Bowl a year ago in his second year, could miss the remainder of this season with a severe hamstring injury.
Harris left Sunday's game against Minnesota in the third quarter with what was originally announced as a sprained left knee. On Monday, Chicago Coach Lovie Smith said the injury was not season-ending.
But yesterday, Smith said the hamstring injury was more severe than the knee sprain and that Harris was slated to go to Dallas to see a specialist.
· PANTHERS: Quarterback Jake Delhomme missed practice again yesterday with ligament damage in the thumb on his throwing hand, increasing the likelihood that backup Chris Weinke will start Sunday against the New York Giants.
Carolina Coach John Fox said the ligament is stretched and not torn from the bone, which is why Delhomme doesn't need surgery. Fox didn't rule out the possibility that Delhomme, who is listed as questionable, could play Sunday.
Running back DeShaun Foster, who has missed the past two games with a hyperextended elbow, practiced and remains probable.
· BILLS: Safety Donte Whitner is questionable after he hurt his hamstring in practice, leaving Buffalo potentially minus another defensive starter when it plays the New York Jets this weekend.
Cornerback Terrence McGee and running back Willis McGahee missed practice for the second straight day with ankle injuries. Both are listed as questionable.
