Lions’ Moore May Sit Sunday

Four-time Pro Bowl receiver Herman Moore of the Detroit Lions, who shared the league lead with 104 receptions last season, is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Packers at Green Bay because of a sore right ankle. His status will be a game-time decision, a Lion spokesman said.

Moore had four catches for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ 20-17 exhibition loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Aug. 27.

He has played 71 consecutive games since sitting out Nov. 7, 1993, also because of a sore ankle. The 28-year-old receiver had 104 catches for 1,293 yards and eight touchdowns last season. The 104 receptions tied him with Tim Brown of the Oakland Raiders for the league lead. Moore had 15 catches for 155 yards in two losses to the Packers last season.

The New York Giants signed offensive tackle Scott Gragg to a long-term contract, the team said.

The 6-foot-8, 325-pound Gragg, the Giants’ second-round pick in the 1995 draft, has been the team’s starting right tackle for the last three seasons. Gragg, 26, could have become a free agent after this season.
