?I?m getting better,? Smith said. ?Sore a little bit, nicked up. If I?m able to go, I?ll go. If I?m not able to go, I can?t go.?

?I think he was close last week,? Fox said. ?But going in with the (limited) numbers of receivers you do and if all of a sudden a guy gets out there and he can?t go during the course of a game, you can?t say, ?Whoops, we want to bring this guy up now.?
