NFL NEWS AND NOTES


Randy Moss missed the New England Patriots morning practice Thursday, one day after the wide receiver apparently injured his left leg during a passing drill. Moss pulled up midway through Wednesday's practice. Medical trainers applied ice to his upper left leg, and he later left the field under his own power. Patriots coach Bill Belichick did not discuss the specifics of Moss' injury and did not know when Moss would return to practice. "Randy's good, day to day," Belichick said after the team's first practice of the day....
Broncos linebacker Warrick Holdman was carted off the field and taken by ambulance to a hospital Thursday after he appeared to injure his head or neck. There was no immediate word on the extent of his injury, although he was moving his arms and legs. Holdman appeared to hit the crown of his helmet on another player's helmet and crumpled to the grass midway through the morning workout. He was rolled over onto his back after a minute, but stayed down for eight minutes. His teammates gathered around him as he was strapped to a headboard and carted off the field to a waiting ambulance.....
The San Antonio Express-News reports that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is OK with waiting until the end of the 2007 season to renegotiate Tony Romo's contract. Romo is scheduled to be a free agent after this season. "If he's the quarterback I think he is, he's going to get his money," Jones said. "When we've had a quarterback that could compete at a Super Bowl level, we've always paid -- and welcomed the chance to do it. ... We want Tony to be our quarterback for a long time."....

Peter King from Sports Illustrated reports that new Browns RB Jamal Lewis appears to be in great shape coming off of offseason ankle surgery. Lewis is motivated to have a rebound season and wants it to be known that his weight is no longer an issue. "I weigh 239, not 251 or 252, like I used to," Lewis said. "This is the best I've felt in a long time."
