NFL NEWS AND NOTES


The Miami Herald reports that speculation on WR Chris Chambers' availability in trade is incorrect. The team does not want to trade him. "Who would we play?" queried a team source when asked about the validity of such a potential deal....The Detroit News reports that unless Lions RB Kevin Jones wows his doctors and training staff with a workout on Thursday, he's going to end up on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the start of the season. That designation forces him out of the first six games of the season and requires activation between Weeks 7 and 10 before being ruled out for the full year. "Right now I don't know where I'm at," Jones said. "My body is telling me to go and get in there and play. But it really isn't my decision. It is up to the doctors and the guys upstairs. The doctors say it is getting better but that it is better to take more time than less time. People can go out there too early and get hurt. They don't want me to go out and re-injure it again."....NFL Network reports that Jaguars WR Reggie Williams is on the trading block heading into the regular season. Williams had a hard time climbing the team's depth chart this preseason and isn't expected to be a major factor in their offense this season.... NFL Network reported that Bucs WR Michael Clayton is on the trading block. Clayton fell out of the competition to start for the club in training camp this summer.
