Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes hasn't returned a punt in a regular-season game since his rookie campaign in 2006.

Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu isn't targeting Saturday night's preseason game at Minnesota as his return date, although he wouldn't mind returning to the playing field as soon as possible.

Receiver Chris Henry is back with the Cincinnati Bengals because their owner has a soft spot for troubled players.

Chargers tight end Antonio Gates was taken off the physically unable to perform list on Tuesday and participated in parts of practice after passing a physical.

Buffalo Bills starting quarterback Trent Edwards sustained a deep bruise to his right quadriceps during practice Tuesday night, and it's unclear whether he'll return to practice this week.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin asked to be traded, saying he doesn't feel his situation can be resolved and declaring he has no relationship with coach Ken Whisenhunt.

Buffalo Bills starting quarterback Trent Edwards hurt his right leg during practice and walked off the field with a slight limp Tuesday night. Edwards was hurt about 45 minutes into practice during 11-on-11 drills when it appeared he and running back Marshawn Lynch knocked knees during a running play.

With their two Pro Bowl receivers hurt, the Cincinnati Bengals brought back troubled receiver Chris Henry on Tuesday, a move that their coach had emphatically ruled out only a month earlier as inappropriate.
