| se numbers have instead been compiled by opponents of the Green Bay Packers, which is why their pass defense ranks as the NFL's worst. ``We've given up way too many explosive gains,'' first-year coach Mike McCarthy said. That's a problem for the Miami Dolphins, too, making their game Sunday against Green Bay a showdown of sieve-like secondaries. Porous pass coverage has contributed greatly to disappointing starts by the Packers (1-4) and Dolphins (1-5). ``If you don't eliminate the big plays, it's hard |

Full back William Henderson (calf) and cornerback Charles Woodson (hamstring) are also listed as questionable for Sunday.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -The morning phone call from Miami Dolphins management awakened Marcus Vick, and he didn't mind a bit. Vick was summoned to the team offices and told he was being added to the roster after spending the first six weeks of the season on the practice squad. Because he was kicked off his college team in January, bypassed in the NFL draft in April and cut by the Dolphins at the end of training camp, Vick found the promotion especially sweet. ``I went through a lot, just to keep fighting a |

| (MySportsbook) - After defeating the Miami Dolphins in Week 4 and then experiencing a bye, the Texans were feeling pretty good about themselves heading into their interstate matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. For the first half against the Cowboys, it looked as if Gary Kubiak's crew was building off their victory, and led 6-3 after two quarters of play. Then reality set in, and the Texans looked more like the punchless team that lost their first three games of the season, rather than the one that was able to |

MIAMI (AP) -Former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick rejoined the Miami Dolphins as a receiver Tuesday after spending the first six weeks of the season on their practice squad. To make room on the roster for Vick, the Dolphins terminated the contract of wide receiver Cliff Russell. He played in three games and caught two passes for 14 yards. Vick will provide depth at quarterback while sidelined starter Daunte Culpepper focuses on rehabilitating his surgically repaired right knee. Joey Harrington a |

Denver's defense lived up to its stingy reputation Sunday, giving up just 113 yards of offense in the first half.
