The Facts:
Heap has missed five of the past seven games with a hamstring injury. HC Brian Billick wouldn't dismiss the possibility that the injury is season-ending, but he said Heap's status is considered week-to-week. "I hate to be so vague, but I don't know that Todd knows for sure until he progresses during the week," Billick said.

The coach added: "He pushes it, and it comes to a point where it grabs again or it doesn't. It's not much of an answer, but it's the only one that I have. ..." Heap's return would significantly boost the chance of competing against New England. But if he could further injure the hamstring -- which might lead to off-season surgery -- it might not be worth the risk in what are essentially meaningless games.
