"The coaches are hoping quarterback Matt Schaub can play against Seattle, but they want to see how he practices on Wednesday and Thursday. He played in the 23-18 loss at Jacksonville after suffering a dislocated left shoulder.

"He basically has the same injury he had against Tennessee in 2007," coach Gary Kubiak said about the injury that required surgery after the season. "It popped out, popped back in, and he was able to play.

"I think he's got a good chance of playing. He's not feeling any worse today than he did yesterday as he finished the game."

Running back Steve Slaton, who was inactive for the Jacksonville game, is seeing Dr. Drew Dossett, a spine specialist whose clients include the Cowboys and Texas Rangers, in Dallas today. For the last month, Slaton has been experiencing numbness in his shoulder, but it would go away and allow him to play. Last week, the numbness went into his thumb and didn't go away."
