Purdue Boilermakers wide receiver Keith Smith is benefiting from a slimmer figure.

Browns coach Eric Mangini said he's not trying to trade quarterback Brady Quinn, who lost his starting job after only 10 quarters this season.

Miami Dolphins running back Patrick Cobbs was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

With Patrick Cobbs out for the season following a torn ACL in his knee, the Dolphins acted quickly to find a replacement.

After running for 234 yards in the season opener against Toledo, Ralph Bolden was leading the country in rushing.

Whether it was newsstand magazines or another voice weighing in from the ever expanding World Wide Web, the Boilermakers weren't accorded much respect this summer.

Purdue's quiet man has no time for fame. He's got work to do. He tries dodging the limelight as if it were a would-be tackler.

Each week this season, Sporting News will spotlight a player who has burst onto the scene or is worth watching in the coming week.

They are: OT Alex Boone, WR Dobson Collins, TE J.J. Finley, FB Brit Miller, NT Khalif Mitchell, RB Kory Sheets and WR Dominique Zeigler.

Who are they? The Boilermakers are making a major transition after the retirement of Joe Tiller, the winningest coach in school history who guided Purdue to 10 bowl games in 12 seasons.

Joe Flacco hasn't looked great this pre-season but he's not going to lose his starting job, that said Smith should be on at least the Jibbers roster as protection against injury.

Editor's note: Kelly Kitchel, a native of Walton, Ind., was an offensive lineman for the Boilermakers from 1998-2002 playing on the Boilermakers' Rose Bowl team.

Fear? Jaycen Taylor leaves that for others. He's endured the blown-up knee ligament, the rehab, the second surgery to remove scar tissue, more rehab and speculation that he won't return to running back form, at least not soon enough to make a difference for his final Purdue football season.
