After Monday's practice, Randy Wittman gave an update on the conditions of Theo Ratliff and Randy Foye. Foye will miss at least three more weeks.

"(Foye's knee) is progressing good," said Wittman. "I think they said another three weeks is best for him right now. The thing is healing; it's just not all the way there the way they'd like to see it. What they are doing is an improvement so we'll continue on that course."

"He'll have to work himself back into condition and all that, but nothing for the next three weeks."

As for Ratliff, Wittman said there would be further meetings with doctors to better access his condition.

"I don't think it's anything major, but he has something that is clicking inside (his knee) that they're trying to figure out. Our doctors want to (have another look)."

"Especially the way he started this year, giving us a big lift ... You hope for the best. Somebody else has to step up now until we get him back."
