NFL Daily Presents: The Wednesday Rundown

2 trades, news, injury reports, and the latest rumors hot off the presses.

Deadline Deals
-Chris Chambers was dealt from Miami to San Diego for a 2nd round pick, and Chambers has showtunes and an insane TD jig in his brain:
"Oh man, it's a pleasure, It's going to be very interesting. I can't wait to get out there and help this team win and continue to be successful."
The Chargers needed a WR after they had to place top wideout Eric Parker on IR with a broken toe, and they were able to acquire Chambers. This means that the Dolphins have thrown in the towel, and GM Randy Mueller isn't really hiding anything:
"Obviously, at 0-6 we're looking for answers. We're looking to change some things. ... Draft picks are valuable to our team right now."
Obviously, Chambers wasn't providing an answer, so they're building for the future. Ted Ginn will now get more opportunities at WR, and Miami fans will now get more paper bags to put over their heads.
-Michael Bennett was traded from Kansas City to Tampa Bay for draft picks that gives the Bucs depth, and will probably put Priest Holmes back on the field. Holmes will practice today for the first time since a severe head injury late in 2005. KC GM Carl Peterson said that people who doubt Holmes are very foolish:
"I've said a thousand times, those people who question Priest Holmes are very foolish. Throughout his entire career, he's always come back. When he called me last spring shortly before training camp and told me he would like to do this one more time, I felt that I owed him that opportunity."

The Rundown
-Former Bills TE Kevin Everett is now able to walk a bit with a specialized walker that doesn't put a lot of his weight on his legs. It's a great story and I wish him the best.
-On my Analytical Assault on SOS yesterday, I wrote this:
"Joey Harrington. 18/39, 3/13 on 3rd downs, billions of 3 and outs. You can't win that way!"
Apparently, the Falcons are listening. The team is considering replacing Harrington at QB with Byron Leftwich as soon as this week against New Orleans. That is why you brought the guy in, right??
-According to ESPN's Chris Mortenen, the NFL has reinstated Packers WR Koren Robinson after a year long suspension.
-Hines Ward, Troy Polamalu, and Santonio Holmes will all return this Sunday against the Broncos.
-Former Cowboys RB Ron Springs has been hospitalized in a coma, reportedly due to complications from surgery, more than seven months after receiving a kidney donated by ex-teammate Everson Walls. Our prayers go out to Springs.
-St Louis signed WR Travis Taylor.
-There is a QB controversy in Carolina between Carr and Testaverde. The Bills are likely to start Trent Edwards over JP Losman.
-Patriots RB Sammy Morris could be out a month with a chest injury.
