for a follow-up visit next week. But Wycheck said he''ll now visit Nashville''s Dr. Gary Solomon next Tuesday and then have a conference call with Maroon. ...

Mason is listed as questionable for tomorrow''s game due to an ankle injury suffered last week. Mason practiced Friday and will start this week.

And finally. ...

The Elias Sports Bureau, which handles statistics for the NFL, has reduced McNair''s passing yardage in New England from 391 to 360. Tennessee''s net passing yardage was reduced from 372 to 341.

McNair was credited with 39 yards when he passed to Kinney in the fourth quarter. Kinney tried a lateral to Holcombe, but the ball hit the ground before Holcombe picked it up.

Elias ruled since the ball hit the ground before Holcombe picked it up McNair should have only been credited with eight yards.','10/11/2003','9:00:00 AM','Saturday',310 5881,23,6,'Reid Hints At Reducing Westbrook''s Return Work...','According to Trenton Times beat man Mark Eckel, head coach Andy Reid was talking about the risk of overusing running back/return man Brian Westbrook, who is becoming more and more a part of the offense each week.

Reid, however, said it wouldn''t be Westbrook''s work in the offense that will be cut down, but instead his work as the primary return man.

Which lends further credence to something I reported in a previous Update: Westbrook is well on his way to becoming team''s weapon of choice at halfback.

"I think that each week he feels a little more comfortable in the offense," Reid said. "It''s important that you don''t do too much with him. He''s got to make it through the year. We''ve got to keep an eye on him."

Then when asked if it meant more offense and less returns, Reid agreed.

"There''s a chance of that. We just have to see."

Through four games, Westbrook leads the team with 30 carries for 194 yards. He''s also caught six passes for 27 yards, has nine punt returns for an average of 8.9 yards and 14 kickoff returns
