Murphy, a second round pick in 2005, suffered a bruised spinal cord on a helmet-to-helmt hit by Carolina's Thomas Davis in a game on Oct. 3. He played in three games as a rookie, catching five passes for 36 yards and returning five kickoffs for 91 yards.

12/30/2005

Charles Woodson, gnb

Woodson's 2005 campaign officially came to an end on Thursday, when he was placed on injured reserve by the Oakland Raiders. The team had hoped the veteran cornerback would be able to return from a broken right leg before the end of the season, but with playoff chances long gone, there was no reason to rush him back on to the field. Tight end James Adkisson was promoted from the practice squad to fill the void on the roster.

Robert Ferguson, gnb

Barring a miraculous recovery over the next couple of days, Ferguson will be absent from the Packers' lineup for Sunday's season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. The receiver has been unable to practice with the team this week after aggravating the strained ligament in his left knee. The injury has forced him to miss four games this season, including last weekend's action.

Samkon Gado, gnb

Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers were optimistic that Gado would be available for Sunday's season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. However, the rookie running back has not fully recovered from the torn medial collateral ligament in his knee, and he's been ruled out as a result.

12/28/2005

Tracy White, gnb

White has been placed on injured reserve by the Jacksonville Jaguars, ending his 2005 campaign. The third-year linebacker, who is nursing an ankle problem, saw the majority of his playing time on special teams this season. He finishes the year with four tackles in 15 games.

Samkon Gado, gnb

According to Packers head coach Mike Sherman, Gado has shown significant progress in his recovery from a torn medial collateral ligament, and there is a chance he could see some action in Sunday's season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie running back, who suffered the injury in Week 15, was thought to be lost for the season. He'll likely be a game-time decision.

12/27/2005

David Martin, gnb

Martin hopes to be available for the Packers' season finale against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend, but a decision likely won't be made until later in the week. The tight end was unable to return to the lineup after suffering a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears. He has 27 catches for 224 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games this season.

12/26/2005

Billy Cundiff, gnb

12/22/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

Sidelined with neck and upper back ailments for more than a month, Franks has been placed on injured reserve by the Green Bay Packers. The tight end probably could have tried to play in the team's last two games of the regular season, but with their playoff hopes long gone, the Packers did not want to take any chances and risk further injury. He finishes the year with 25 catches for 207 yards and one touchdown in 10 contests.

B.J. Sander, gnb

After bruising his left leg in Monday's 48-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Sander has been placed on injured reserve by the Green Bay Packers, officially ending his season. The punter, who averaged 39.2 yards on 64 boots this year, will be replaced by Ryan Flinn.

Dave Rayner, gnb

Rayner has been waived by the Indianapolis Colts, opening a spot on the roster for veteran kicker Jose Cortez, who was signed on Wednesday. A sixth-round pick in this year's draft, Rayner served as the team's kickoff specialist through the first 14 games of the season, but had struggled recently.

Noah Herron, gnb

With Samkon Gado now out for the season with a knee injury, Herron is expected to see an increase in his playing time over the last two weeks of the 2005 campaign. The rookie running back, who was a seventh-round pick in this year's draft (Pittsburgh), will split touches with Tony Fisher.

Atari Bigby, gnb

The Green Bay Packers have promoted Bigby from their practice squad, filling the roster spot of tight end Bubba Franks, who will miss the rest of the season with a neck injury. The rookie safety spent the bulk of training camp with the New York Jets, but was released prior to the start of the regular season.

12/21/2005

Rod Gardner, gnb

The Green Bay Packers have claimed Gardner off waivers from the Carolina Panthers. The receiver, who was the 15th overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, was acquired from the Washington Redskins last summer, but failed to make an impact with the Panthers, eventually leading to his release. In 10 games this season, he has just nine catches for 84 yards and a touchdown.

Samkon Gado, gnb

An MRI on Gado's injured right knee has revealed a torn medial collateral ligament, and he will miss the Packers' last two games of the 2005 campaign, according to head coach Mike Sherman. The rookie running back suffered the injury in the first half of Monday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He'll likely be placed on injured reserve.

12/20/2005

Brett Favre, gnb

With the game well out of reach, Favre was pulled from the Packers' lineup late in the third quarter of Monday night's 48-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in favor of backup Aaron Rodgers. The veteran quarterback struggled prior to his departure, going 14 of 29 for 144 yards, two interceptions and no touchdowns. His 34.3 passer rating was his worst of the season.

Samkon Gado, gnb

Gado was unable to return to the Packers' lineup after injuring his right knee on a run in the first half of Monday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. According to head coach Mike Sherman, the rookie running back has been diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament, but some reports have indicated that there might be a tear. He will be re-evaluated on Tuesday to determine the exact extent of the injury.

12/18/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

Franks is not expected to play in Green Bay's Monday night game at Baltimore. The tight end did not play last week due to neck and back soreness, and skipped practice this week. He was listed as questionable on this week's injury report.

12/16/2005

Rod Gardner, gnb

Without a catch since Week 11, Gardner has been waived by the Carolina Panthers. The receiver, who was acquired from the Washington Redskins in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick over the summer, failed to make an impact with his new club, hauling in nine passes for 84 yards and a touchdown in 10 games. He will be replaced on the roster by fullback Casey Cramer, promoted from the practice squad on Friday.

12/15/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

After being listed as doubtful last week, Franks currently shows up as questionable on the Packers' injury report.

He is recovering from neck and upper back injuries.

12/12/2005

Brett Favre, gnb

Favre finished Sunday's overtime win over the Detroit Lions with just 170 yards passing, but it was enough for him to top 3,000 for the year. The Packers' veteran quarterback has now reached the plateau 14 times in his career, breaking the NFL record of 13, which he formerly shared with Dolphins great Dan Marino.

Samkon Gado, gnb

Gado was a workhorse for the Packers in Sunday's overtime win over the Detroit Lions, rushing for a team rookie-record 171 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 29 carries. The running back has now topped the century mark in three of his last five games.

12/9/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

After suffering a neck injury two weeks ago and an arm stinger in last Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, Franks has yet to return to the field with the Green Bay Packers this week. As a result, the tight end is not expected to be ready for this weekend's matchup with the Detroit Lions. Officially, he is listed as doubtful.

12/5/2005

Brett Favre, gnb

Favre is expected to be limited in practice this week after taking a beating in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears. The Packers' veteran quarterback is nursing a bruised right forearm, cut right hand and general overall soreness, but he plans to be ready for next weekend's matchup with the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Mike Sherman.

Bubba Franks, gnb

Franks got the starting nod in Sunday's matchup with the Chicago Bears, one week after being carted off the field on the stretcher with a neck injury. However, the tight end was forced to leave during the Packers' first offensive series, taking another shot to the head while attempting to make a reception. He was diagnosed with an arm stinger and was unable to return to the lineup.

12/4/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

Franks will be active and in uniform for Sunday's battle with division rival Chicago Bears. The Packers' tight end was limited to non-contact work in practice last week after he had to be taken off the field on a stretcher and spend the night in the hospital following a shot to the head in last Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Franks has 25 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown in nine games this season.

12/2/2005

Noah Herron, gnb

Herron has signed with the Green Bay Packers, filling the roster spot of fellow running back ReShard Lee, who will miss the rest of the 2005 campaign with a rib injury. The rookie was a seventh-round pick in this year's draft (Pittsburgh), had two yards on three carries in two games earlier this season.

12/1/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

Other than a minor headache, Franks has no lasting effects from the crushing blow he took in last weekend's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The tight end, who was taken off the field on a stretcher and spent Sunday night in the hospital, dressed for the Packers' practice on Wednesday, but did not take part in any of the team drills. He has been listed as questionable for Sunday's tussle with the Chicago Bears.

11/28/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

Franks had to be carted off the field after taking a crushing blow from the Eagles' Brian Dawkins in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. The Packers' tight end suffered a neck injury on the play and spent Sunday night in the hospital to undergo precautionary tests and evaluation. He had tingling in his shoulders and numbness in his hand, but according to head coach Mike Sherman, Franks should be fine.

Samkon Gado, gnb

Gado fumbled for the fourth time in three games, but the Packers stuck with him in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, as the rookie running back finished with 111 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries. His previous three fumbles were recovered by Green Bay.

11/22/2005

Donald Driver, gnb

Driver was Brett Favre's favorite target in Monday night's last-second loss to the Minnesota Vikings, hauling in five passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns. The Packers' veteran receiver, who is coming off a 10-catch outing, found the end zone for the first time since Week 7 -- the last time Green Bay faced the Vikings.

Robert Ferguson, gnb

Despite aggravating his ailing left knee during practice on Friday, Ferguson was in the Packers' starting lineup for Monday night's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. The receiver, who missed nearly a month with a torn lateral cruciate ligament, saw regular action, but finished with just one catch for five yards.

Samkon Gado, gnb

Gado was in the Packers' starting lineup for Monday night's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings, but after dropping a pass late in the second quarter and fumbling in the third, he was replaced by Tony Fisher. The rookie running back, who scored three touchdowns last weekend, but fumbled twice, finished Monday's last-second loss with just seven yards on 10 carries and one catch for 30 yards.

11/21/2005

Billy Cundiff, gnb

Cundiff has re-signed with the Dallas Cowboys, replacing Sean Suisham, who was released on Saturday. Cundiff was cut and given an injury settlement in August after suffering a strained hip flexor in training camp, which sidelined him for more than a month. He resumed his duties as the Cowboys' kicker in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions, connecting on both of his point after tries and two field goals, including a 56-yarder.

11/19/2005

11/18/2005

Robert Ferguson, gnb

Ferguson went through a full practice with the Green Bay Packers on Thursday and declared himself ready to return to action. The receiver, who has been sidelined since tearing the lateral cruciate ligament in his left knee on October 23, remains listed as questionable on the injury report, but all signs point to him playing in Monday night's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

11/17/2005

Robert Ferguson, gnb

Sidelined since tearing the lateral cruciate ligament in his left knee on October 23, Ferguson was able to take part in portions of the Packers' practice on Wednesday, and he should be able to expand his workouts over the next couple of days, according to head coach Mike Sherman. The receiver currently is listed as questionable for Monday night's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings, and there's a chance he could be a game-time decision.

11/14/2005

Donald Driver, gnb

Driver notched his third 100-yard game of the 2005 campaign, hauling in a season-high 10 passes for 114 yards in Sunday's 33-25 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Samkon Gado, gnb

Making the first start of his NFL career, Gado rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries in Sunday's 33-25 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The Packers' rookie running back also hauled in four passes for five yards and a score, giving him four TDs overall in three games played.

David Martin, gnb

Martin has yet to return to practice with the Green Bay Packers, and he's expected to miss his third consecutive game, due to a nagging groin injury. With the backup tight end sidelined, Donald Lee will move up a spot on the roster and serve as starter Bubba Franks' primary backup.

11/10/2005

Brett Favre, gnb

With just one win in eight games this season, Favre was feeling a bit lethargic on Wednesday, and he was given the day off by head coach Mike Sherman. The veteran quarterback plans to return to the field on Thursday and will be under center when the Packers take the field against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

11/9/2005

Robert Ferguson, gnb

Ferguson has reported significant improvement in his ailing left knee, and he hopes to return to practice with the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday.

Chad Lucas, gnb

The Green Bay Packers have promoted Lucas from their practice squad, filling the roster spot of fellow receiver Taco Wallace, who was released on Wednesday.

11/7/2005

Robert Ferguson, gnb

Last week, Ferguson was confident that he'd be ready for the Packers' matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but the receiver has yet to resume running, and the team does not have a definitive timetable for his return. He was expected to be sidelined for up to four weeks after tearing the lateral cruciate ligament in his left knee against the Minnesota Vikings on October 23.

Samkon Gado, gnb

Due to injuries to Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport and Tony Fisher, along with the benching of ReShard Lee following an early fumble, Gado stepped into the Packers' backfield and handled the majority of the carries in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The undrafted rookie running back took advantage of the opportunity, picking up 62 yards and scoring the first touchdown of his NFL career on 26 carries.

11/3/2005

David Martin, gnb

The groin injury that Martin suffered late last week continues to be a problem, and the tight end was unable to practice with the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday.

In six games this season, he has 11 catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns.

11/2/2005

Robert Ferguson, gnb

Originally expected to be sidelined up to four weeks with a torn lateral cruciate ligament in his left knee, Ferguson claimed earlier this week that he plans to be back in the Packers' starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, head coach Mike Sherman and the club's medical staff don't appear as optimistic as the receiver, who suffered the injury only 10 days ago.

Jeremy Thornburg, gnb

Opening a spot on the roster for quarterback Jesse Palmer, who signed with the club on Tuesday, Thornburg has been waived by the San Francisco 49ers. The safety appeared in only two games this season, notching three tackles.

10/31/2005

Brett Favre, gnb

Although he passed for 290 yards and a touchdown, Favre had one of the worst outings in his 15 NFL seasons, as he finished Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with a career-high five interceptions.

10/28/2005

10/25/2005

Charles Woodson, gnb

According to Raiders head coach Norv Turner, further tests on Woodson's right leg have confirmed the original diagnosis of a broken fibula, and the cornerback is expected to be sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks. Woodson will have his foot placed in a protective walking boot, but he will not be required to undergo surgery.

10/24/2005

Ahman Green, gnb

Further tests have revealed that Green has a torn right quadriceps tendon, and according to Packers head coach Mike Sherman, the running back will undergo surgery later this week and miss the rest of the 2005 campaign. Green originally aggravated his leg in a game against the Saints earlier this month, but the tendon was torn when he was hit in the fourth quarter of Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings. He will be placed on injured reserve in the near future.

Charles Woodson, gnb

Woodson will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a broken bone in his right foot while making a tackle in the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills. The Raiders' cornerback, who was sporting a protective boot following the game, will undergo more tests on Monday to determine how much time he might miss. Initial reports suggest that Woodson will be out 6-8 weeks.

The Packers have a bye this week before their Week 7 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Green Bay Packers have yet to release any specific information about the leg injury Green suffered in the second half of Monday night's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The running back was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday and has been listed as questionable on this week's injury report with a "knee/thigh" ailment. In four games this season, Green has averaged just 3.4 yards per carry and has yet to score a touchdown.

Murphy will not return to action this season after being placed on injured reserve by the Green Bay Packers on Thursday. Following a crushing blow from Carolina's Thomas Davis in Monday night's meeting with the Panthers, the rookie receiver was carted off the field on a stretcher and spent a couple of days in a Charlotte hospital undergoing tests for neck trauma.

Ahman Green, gnb

Green will be re-evaluated on Tuesday to determine the extent of the right knee injury he suffered in the second half of Monday night's loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Packers' running back initially was diagnosed with a bruise and was on the sidelines with his knee wrapped in ice. The team should updated his status over the next day or two.

Bubba Franks, gnb

Franks was able to practice with the Packers on Saturday for the first time in nearly two weeks, but his bruised left knee was still too sore for him to take the field in Monday night's meeting with the Carolina Panthers. As long as his leg continues to show improvement over the next several days, the tight end should be available for Sunday's tussle with the New Orleans Saints.

Terrence Murphy, gnb

Murphy was taken off the field on a stretcher Monday night with an injury to his neck. After picking up a fumble on a kickoff return and starting upfield, the Packers' wide receiver was hit by Thomas Davis of the Panthers.

9/30/2005

Najeh Davenport, gnb

Nursing some minor discomfort in his hamstring, Davenport was held out of Thursday's practice as a precautionary measure. The Packers have added the running back to their injury report as probable, but they fully expect him to be ready for Monday night's matchup with the Carolina Panthers.

9/29/2005

Donald Driver, gnb

The ankle injury Driver suffered last weekend prevented him from practicing with the Packers on Wednesday.

9/28/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

Franks should return to practice later this week, and the Packers are optimistic that he will be available for Monday night's meeting with the Carolina Panthers, according to head coach Mike Sherman.

Bubba Franks, gnb

Franks will not be playing today against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

9/23/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

Franks has not practiced with the Green Bay Packers all week, and his bruised knee might prevent him from taking the field in Sunday's battle with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team has listed the tight end as questionable on the injury report and likely won't make a final decision on his availability until Franks is able to test the knee in pre-game warmups.

9/20/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

According to Packers head coach Mike Sherman, Franks is nursing a bruised knee, not a hip injury as was originally reported.

He'll be re-evaluated later this week to determine his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

9/19/2005

Brett Favre, gnb

Favre tried to lead the Packers to a comeback victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, but it wasn't enough as Green Bay lost the game 26-24. Despite being without the services of top receiver Javon Walker, who is out for the season, the veteran quarterback completed 32 of his 44 pass attempts for 342 yards and three touchdowns. He was picked off twice and sacked once.

Donald Driver, gnb

With top wideout Javon Walker out for the year with a knee injury, the Packers have turned to Driver to step up and help fill the void. The receiver answered the call in Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Browns, hauling in six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. However, his performance wasn't quite enough, as Green Bay lost the game, 26-24.

Bubba Franks, gnb

Robert Ferguson, gnb

Ferguson will move into the starting lineup for the Packers after Javon Walker suffered a season-ending knee injury on Sunday. The fifth-year player from Texas A&M only caught one pass for four yards against the Lions, but should see his opportunities increase with the move up to No. 2 on the depth chart.

9/11/2005

Rod Gardner, gnb

Despite being healthy, Gardner has been declared inactive for Sunday's regular-season opener against the New Orleans Saints. Ricky Proehl will serve as the Panthers' top backup to starters Steve Smith and Keary Colbert, while special teams captain Karl Hankton could see additional playing time on offense as well.

9/8/2005

Brett Favre, gnb

Favre returned to practice on Wednesday as planned, but his accuracy was off for most of the workout, primarily because he was having trouble pushing off his slightly sprained right ankle.

The tight end, who was a fifth-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, spent the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, hauling in 20 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns in 32 games, including 15 starts. Ben Steele was released to open a spot on the roster.

9/4/2005

Cletidus Hunt, gnb

Hunt was released by the Packers on Saturday as the team trimmed its roster to 53 players. The defensive tackle has spent all six of his NFL seasons in Green Bay, and had started all but four contests over the past three campaigns. He accounted for two sacks and a forced fumble in 16 games in 2004. The team will be forced to eat some of the six-year, $25.35 million pact that Hunt signed prior to the 2003 season.

Ray Thompson, gnb

The Packers released Thompson on Saturday as part of their efforts to finalize their 53-man roster.

Brett Favre, gnb

Favre slightly twisted his ankle early in Thursday's preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans, but after a brief visit to the sidelines, he was able to return to the game. As a precautionary measure, the Packers might choose to limit his work at practice over the next couple of days, but expect the veteran quarterback to be under center when the team takes the field in Week 1 of the regular season.

Joey Harris, gnb

Harris had to be carted off the field after spraining his right knee in the third quarter of Thursday's preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans. Initial X-rays were negative, but the Packers' reserve running back will be re-evaluate on Friday to determine the extent of the injury.

After missing nearly a month of preseason workouts in a contract holdout, Franks will rejoin the Packers later this week after agreeing to a reported seven-year, $28 million deal.

In 16 games last season, Franks hauled in 34 passes for 361 yards and seven touchdowns.

Billy Cundiff, gnb

Cundiff, who has served as Dallas' kicker the past three seasons, has been released by the Cowboys. He strained a hip flexor in practice over the weekend and is expected to be sidelined for up to a month, which likely prompted the move.

8/22/2005

Billy Cundiff, gnb

Cundiff suffered a hip flexor in practice on Saturday and will be out three to four weeks. Jose Cortez will fill in during this time, but the Cowboys have not ruled out signing another kicker to bolster their depth.

8/18/2005

Terrence Murphy, gnb

Murphy was forced to leave Wednesday morning's practice after injuring his right knee. The Packers' rookie receiver, who was a second-round pick in this year's draft, has been diagnosed with a low-grade sprain of his medial collateral ligament, and the injury will keep him out of at least this weekend's exhibition matchup with the Buffalo Bills. He'll be re-evaluated next week.

8/17/2005

Grady Jackson, gnb

Jackson's knee continues to improve, but he has yet to take part in a full-speed practice with Packers in training camp.

If he appears in a preseason game, it will be the team's last exhibition tilt against the Tennessee Titans on September 1.

Aaron Rodgers, gnb

According to Packers offensive coordinator Tom Rossley, Rodgers is digesting the team's playbook well, and he has looked good in training camp workouts to date. The rookie quarterback, who was the 24th overall pick in this year's draft, is slated to see extensive playing time in Saturday's exhibition meeting with the Buffalo Bills.

8/12/2005

Brett Favre, gnb

Favre looked like he was ready for the start of the regular season in Thursday's exhibition game against the San Diego Chargers, going 9 of 10 for 91 yards and a touchdown in limited action. The Packers' quarterback, who turns 36 in October, will go into the 2005 campaign with a 225 consecutive start streak intact.

7/28/2005

Rod Gardner, gnb

Trying to move Gardner all offseason, the Washington Redskins finally found a taker, dealing the receiver to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick. In 16 games last season, the 15th overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft hauled in 51 passes for 650 yards and five touchdowns.

7/26/2005

Bubba Franks, gnb

On the eve of Packers training camp, Franks has yet to sign the team's one-year, $2.1 million transition offer.

He has 28 career touchdown receptions, including at least seven in three of the past four years.

7/25/2005

6/16/2005

Rod Gardner, gnb

The Redskins and Gardner have agreed that the wideout will not attend the team's mandatory minicamp that begins on Friday. The team is expected to release the four-year veteran in the coming weeks, if they are not first able to work out a last-minute trade with a club in need of help at the position. A first-round draft pick by Washington in 2001, Gardner caught 71 passes for 1,006 yards and eight touchdowns in 2002, but he has been disappointing the past two years.

6/11/2005

Aaron Rodgers, gnb

Rodgers reportedly struggled during the Packers' minicamp held this past week. The first-round draft pick failed to show accuracy with his throws, many of them sailing high.

6/6/2005

5/7/2005

It looks like Gardner is a longshot to return to the Washington Redskins, as Joe Gibbs was quoted in Thursday's Washington Post that he was "skeptical" about the receiver being on the team in 2005.

4/28/2005

Siitupe Peko, gnb

4/20/2005

Kampman will return to Green Bay next season after the Packers matched the terms of the offer sheet the defensive end agreed to with the Minnesota Vikings last week. The one-year deal is worth $1.2 million, including a $500,000 signing bonus, but reportedly, the Packers are interested in securing Kampman with a long-term contract, which will avoid him becoming an unrestricted free agent after the 2005 campaign.

4/19/2005

Marc Boerigter, gnb

Boerigter has re-signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, agreeing to a one-year contract. The receiver was slated to serve as the team's No. 3 wideout last season, but tore a ligament in his right knee in an exhibition game and missed the entire 2004 campaign.
