 Kuechly was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report but coach
Ron Rivera indicted that he will probably be downgraded to out on

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will be a game-time
decision for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, coach Pete
Carroll announced.
Lynch is battling a calf ailment and was listed as questionable on
Seattle's Friday injury report. Lynch suffered the injury during
last Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.
Lynch is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry through two games after
averaging more than four yards per carry each of the past four
years. He has 114 yards and no touchdowns this season.
Strong safety Kam Chancellor is likely to play after ending his
lengthy holdout earlier this week. Carroll said Chancellor's snaps
will be monitored.
"He's looked like he's in rare form," Carroll said. "But he may be a
little rusty, and we'll try to protect him and make sure he doesn't
play too much."

Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall could be sidelined for
three to four weeks, perhaps longer, after suffering a Grade 2
partial ligament tear in his toe during Thursday night's loss to the
New York Giants, head coach Jay Gruden announced.
The recovery time remains uncertain because it has not yet been
determined whether Hall will need surgery.
This is the second year in a row that Hall, 31, is likely to miss
extended playing time because of an injury. He started the first
three games last year before an Achilles injury ended his season.
Hall started the first three games this year before the toe injury
occurred.

Saturday practices, but a team source told ESPN that "he'll be fine,
he'll play" Sunday. Murray injured the hamstring during Wednesday's
practice and left early. Kelly called it a "tweak".

Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis will be a game-time decision for
Sunday's game against the Eagles, according to coach Todd Bowles.
Revis has been dealing with a groin injury and was a limited
practice participant on both Thursday and Friday. The team listed
him as questionable and a decision will be made after he works out
prior to the game.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is listed as probable and
expected to play in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Tannehill is dealing with ankle and back injuries. He injured the
ankle in last Sunday's loss to Jacksonville but the back issues were
revealed for the first time on Friday when Tannehill was limited in
practice. He practiced fully on both Wednesday and Thursday.
Left tackle Branden Albert (hamstring) is doubtful after missing
three straight practices.
