NFL REPORT / DAILY REPORT : Tasker Is Still Questionable

An array of doctors and trainers greet Buffalo Bill all-everything receiver Steve Tasker each day but his status was still uncertain Wednesday for Saturday’s divisional playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tasker, who did not dress for practice and was listed as questionable on the weekly injury report, suffered a strained tendon in his right leg in last week’s victory over the Miami Dolphins.

Tasker has done it all for Buffalo this season, including covering kicks, returning punts, catching passes, running reverses and holding for kicks.

Meanwhile, the Bills might feel at home in Pittsburgh with the game-time forecast of temperatures in the high teens, winds and a chance of snow showers.

“It’s a little frustrating,” Chandler told KRIV-TV in Houston. “When I first came here, I signed to be ‘the guy.’ . . . I wouldn’t have signed a four-year contract [in 1995] had I known that this would happen.”

Declaring negotiations for a new Silverdome lease with the city of Pontiac at a stalemate, the Detroit Lions plan to begin negotiations to return to Detroit, Chief Operating Officer Chuck Schmidt told The Oakland Press. The team had set a Monday deadline to reach more favorable lease terms with the city-owned Silverdome. That did not happen, Schmidt said. . . . Minnesota Vikings defensive end James Harris was charged in Minneapolis with breaking the nose and collarbone of a woman only described as J.C.H. that he recently married. He also is being investigated for bigamy. Harris’ agent, Jeff Durand, said Harris married J.C.H. within the past 90 days after filing for divorce from Bonnie Harris in 1994 and thinking that he had won by default since it was not contested.
