I have no idea really of Thomas [Jones]' situation. I assume he'll be able to go this week. We'll know more a little bit later on. We don't know exactly how long he'll be out.

Sometimes late in the week, injuries happen. It had no outcome on the game as far as we're concerned. I assume everybody's going by the rules, which I'm sure they were.

The situation is different for different positions,

Being a rookie, I'm sure he's never been in this situation. We're going to put our players on the field when they have been cleared and there is the least risk of injury. This past week we were playing for the division crown, and we had some players who were close to being able to go, and we probably could have played a few of them. But we'll always err on the side of caution. Cedric is a valuable part of what we're going to do around here for many years, and we'll never put him at risk.

We expect to get blitzed each week. Even though I've said that Kyle has grown quite a bit, he's still a rookie quarterback. Everyone we've played has blitzed us quite a bit, starting with the Redskins (in the season opener). That's just a part of what we're going to deal with. We expect it each week and go from there.

Carl did an excellent job. We'll start over this week. With any of our backups, special teams are a big part.
