Third-string quarterback Drew Henson suffered a sprained right medial collateral ligament in the first half of a 16-14 loss to Frankfurt on Saturday but tried to play in the second half.

"I've never had a knee injury before," said Henson via e-mail. "But I think this is a deal where you get the swelling out and see how bad the pain is."

The injury is not expected to keep him out for a significant period of time. Henson had completed 5 of 13 passes for 39 yards at the time of his injury. Entering the game, he was 96-of-170 passing for 1,149 yards with nine touchdowns and three interceptions.

"He looks like he has improved over there," Parcells said.
