A federal judge will be asked to decide today whether five suspended NFL players deserve a chance to play this weekend. At issue is whether the league had a duty to notify its players and their union that a dietary supplement the five took contained a banned ingredient. The NFL Players Association argues in a lawsuit filed Thursday in Minneapolis that the NFL knew about the tainted supplement but failed to share that information with players whose careers were on the line. The union filed the lawsuit to block the suspensions of five of the six players who were benched this week for violating the league's anti-doping policy. The union wants Kevin Williams and Pat Williams of the Minnesota Vikings, and Charles Grant, Deuce McAllister and Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints, to play Sunday. Union attorneys will go before U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson at 10:30 a.m. in St. Paul, Minn., to ask for a preliminary injunction.QUESTIONS ON BURRESS — New York Giants player Antonio Pierce and the doctor who treated teammate Plaxico Burress after he accidentally shot himself at a Manhattan nightclub will talk to investigators today. Pierce and Dr. Josyann Abisaab will be accompanied by their lawyers when they meet with the authorities, NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Public Information Paul Browne said. It is unclear when and where the parties will meet. The authorities want to know why neither Pierce, who drove Burress to a New York hospital, nor Abisaab called police to report the shooting early Saturday.
OUT FOR SEASON — The Saints placed Kevin Kaesviharn on injured reserve, ending the safety's season. Kaesviharn had a neck injury that team officials described as a ''stinger,'' or a pinched nerve. Coach Sean Payton said it was the second time Kaesviharn had such an injury and that he would need a few weeks to recover. The Saints filled the roster by signing linebacker Tearrius George off the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad.
RECEIVER JOINS DOLPHINS — Receiver Chris Hannon joined the Miami Dolphins off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers. He takes the roster spot of guard Justin Smiley, who was placed on injured reserve after breaking his ankle Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. Hannon spent the first 11 games of the season on the 49ers' practice squad.
