Gone from his head were the dreadlocks that he had let grow for the past 2Ôªø1â??Ñ2 years, and gone from his feet was most of the swelling caused by a mid-foot sprain that seemed sure to end his season.

QB or not QB?

But Yates struggled in his return to the starting role last week and Lewis has struggled to return from a mid-foot sprain. Which one plays closer to the way he played earlier in the season could go a long way toward determining today's winner.
