Browns lose Jackson for season

Browns linebacker D'Qwell Jackson will miss the rest of the
season because of a shoulder injury. Cleveland placed its
leading tackler on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after
he damaged his shoulder during the first half of a 27-14
loss at Pittsburgh. "It's disappointing any time you lose
a player for the season, and this is especially true with
someone like D'Qwell, who has proven to be an outstanding
leader for us both on and off the field," Browns coach Eric
Mangini said in a statement. Jackson got hurt in the second
quarter on Sunday. He faces possible surgery. Though
undersized at 6-foot, 240 pounds, Jackson has been one
of Cleveland's best defenders over the past three-plus
seasons. Jackson led the NFL with 188 tackles last season
and was chosen as a Pro Bowl alternate. A second-round pick
in 2006, Jackson is eligible for free agency after this
season. He had been trying to get a new contract from the
Browns, who might have to play rookies David Veikune and
Kaluka Maiava at inside linebacker in their 3-4 scheme.
Jackson has led the Browns in tackles the past two seasons
and was second as a rookie in 2006. He had 57 tackles - 44
solos - this season and was credited with two broken-up
passes and a forced fumble. The 26-year-old Jackson was
selected as a defensive captain before the season.


Tomlin says Steelers kicker Reed will play Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says kicker Jeff
Reed will play in Sunday's home game against the Minnesota
Vikings despite a recent brush with the law. Reed is charged
with simple assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct
and public drunkenness for allegedly scuffling with Pittsburgh
police outside a bar near Heinz Field in the hours after
Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. Police were citing
Reed's teammate Matt Spaeth (spayth) for allegedly urinating
outside the bar when Reed intervened. Police say Reed took
a "fighting stance" and challenged the officers. Reed's
agent denies that. Reed is expected to receive a court
summons in the mail.

Bengals sign DT Orien Harris

Defensive tackle Orien Harris has signed with the Cincinnati
Bengals, who had an open roster spot after defensive end Antwan
Odom tore his right Achilles' tendon. Harris played in 16 games
for the Bengals last season. He was traded to St. Louis on
May 7 for halfback Brian Leonard, then was traded to Detroit
on July 22. He made the Lions' roster, was inactive for the
first game, then was waived. Odom, who is tied for the NFL
lead with eight sacks, got hurt during a 28-17 loss to Houston
on Sunday. He had surgery and is out for the season.


Qualcomm Stadium worker falls out of press box

A worker at Qualcomm Stadium was taken to a hospital after
falling out of the press box about three hours before the Denver
Broncos played the San Diego Chargers on Monday night. The man
was identified as Walt Daniels, a member of the Chargers'
game-day staff. Daniels appeared to sustain a head injury after
falling about 25 to 30 feet out of a booth that was to be used
by Broncos assistant coaches, and landing on the loge level.
He was administered CPR before being taken to Sharp Memorial
Hospital. Workers later cleaned up a puddle of blood. The
accident delayed the opening of the gates by about 40 minutes.

Falcons place Williams on IR, sign Fudge

The Atlanta Falcons have signed safety Jamaal Fudge to fill
the roster spot of injured cornerback Brian Williams, who was
placed on injured reserve. Williams tore the anterior cruciate
ligament in his right knee in Sunday night's win over Chicago.
He started each of the Falcons' first five games.
Fudge was released by the Falcons after training camp. He
played in 10 games with the team last season and had 12 tackles.
Fudge was signed by Jacksonville as a rookie free agent in 2006.
The Falcons signed Fudge off waivers on Sept. 2, 2008.
Williams is the second starter on defense to have a season-
ending knee injury. Rookie defensive tackle Peria Jerry injured
his left knee against Carolina on Sept. 20.


Panthers waive Burton; open roster spot for Tyler

The Carolina Panthers have waived defensive tackle Antwon Burton,
creating a roster spot for newly acquired defensive tackle Tank
Tyler. The Panthers sent their 2010 fifth-round pick to Kansas
City late Monday for Tyler, who is expected to split time with
Hollis Thomas at nose tackle. Burton was let go Tuesday a month
after Carolina signed him to create depth. He played sparingly
with Carolina. The Panthers also signed undrafted rookie
defensive tackle Rashaad Duncan to the practice squad and
released Terrance Taylor, who was signed last week. Duncan was
cut by Tampa Bay last month and the Buccaneers cut him from
their practice squad last week.

Jets officially place Jenkins on IR, re-sign Green

The New York Jets have officially placed nose tackle Kris
Jenkins on season-ending injured reserve, and re-signed defensive
tackle Howard Green. The team also signed defensive tackle
Antonio Garay to the practice squad Tuesday. Jenkins, in his
second season with the Jets, tore the anterior cruciate
ligament in his left knee during New York's 16-13 overtime
loss to Buffalo on Sunday. He'll have surgery in a few weeks,
and hopes to be ready for the team's offseason workout programs.
Green, expected to help fill in for Jenkins, was released last
Saturday to make room on the active roster for wide receiver
Danny Woodhead. Garay was a sixth-round draft pick of Cleveland
in 2003, and has also played with Chicago.
