Player To Watch

The waiving of receiver Alvin Harper will open the door for Horace Copeland, a fifth-year player out of Miami who had three catches of more than 40 yards last preseason before tearing his patellar tendon. Copeland's size (6'3", 202 pounds) and speed make him a threat anywhere on the field. "I threw a post to him in practice," says quarterback Trent Dilfer. "I threw it about 65 yards, and he ran underneath it like I underthrew it."
