beat man Leo Roth wrote this morning that Moulds "is likely to miss his second straight game today."
Roth added that Travis Henry''s ribs are still sore, but Henry practiced all week and will start and play as usual.','10/19/2003','8:05:00 AM','Sunday',372 5943,18,7,'Smith Inactive; Faulk To Play Extensively Behind Improving Line...','In an article published early this morning, Boston Herald staffer Kevin Mannix asked readers to guess which team playing at Pro Player Stadium today has been doing the better job run blocking the past couple of weeks?
