ST. LOUIS (AP) -New coach Scott Linehan expects Marshall Faulk to play this season. Faulk is missing the St. Louis Rams' minicamp this weekend while recovering from offseason surgery on both knees. Linehan said Friday that Faulk probably won't be ready until June. But he said Faulk, who considered retiring after rushing for a career-low 292 yards last year, told him he'd definitely return as the backup running back behind Steven Jackson. ``He said he was more hungry now than he has been in a couple o |

| Kansas City, MO (MySportsbook) - The Kansas City Chiefs agreed to terms on a two-year contract with free agent cornerback Chris Johnson on Tuesday. No other terms of the agreement were made available. Johnson spent last season with the St. Louis Rams, appearing in 14 games with one start. He made 25 tackles and forced one fumble while also returning 38 kickoffs for 857 yards and a score. Johnson originally entered the NFL as the first of Green Bay's four seventh- round draft choices (245th overall) in 2003 |

| .C. (AP) -The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent linebacker Keith Adams on Thursday to add depth at a position that has been decimated this offseason. Carolina lost two starters this winter - Will Witherspoon signed a free-agent contract with the St. Louis Rams and Brandon Short was released in a salary-cap move. Adams, who started 16 games last season for the Philadelphia Eagles and had a career-high 101 tackles, is expected to compete with Thomas Davis and Adam Seward for the outside linebacker spot.

He sees everything,'' quarterback Jon Kitna said of the former St. Louis Rams' head coach. ``But the great thing about it is he's going to give us every opportunity to be successful.'' That attention to detail often has been a matter of yards. ``There's more coaching. He says 2 yards outside the number, he means 2 yards. |

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -The Detroit Lions signed receiver-turned-defensive back Mike Furrey to a one-year contract Tuesday. Former St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz, now Detroit's offensive coordinator, persuaded Furrey to make the move from receiver to safety last year. Furrey started 11 games at safety in 2005, leading the Rams with four interceptions, including one he returned for a 67-yard touchdown. He also made 55 tackles. The Lions listed Furrey as a wide receiver. As a rookie in 2003, the North |

He hopes that will change under Fairchild, who spent the past three seasons as the St. Louis Rams' offensive coordinator. In St. Louis, Fairchild was tutored by former head coach Mike Martz in running an offense that was among the NFL's most explosive and featured two solid running backs in Marshall Faulk and Steven Jackson. ``Right now, I'm j |

| But Vinatieri was an important part of getting them. Although he isn't the most accurate kicker around - that honor belongs to Vanderjagt - Vinatieri earned his reputation as the most clutch. He kicked the game-winner with no time left to beat the St. Louis Rams in the 2002 Super Bowl, then kicked another game-winner in the final seconds of the '04 NFL title game. In 2005, when the Patriots won their third championship in four years, Vinatieri kicked a 22-yard field goal with a comfy 8:40 left in the game |
