Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green significantly hurt his hamstring in the opening minutes of a loss to the Buffalo Bills, the most notable injury on a Sunday when plenty of big-name players were sidelined.Green got his right foot caught awkwardly while trying for a contested catch on Cincinnatis first pass of the game. Green grabbed his right hamstring as he hit the ground and stayed down for several minutes.Green barely bent the leg as he was helped to the sideline and then taken off on a cart. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis had no details on the extent of the injury, but it seems Cincinnati may be without its star receiver for the foreseeable future.The Bengals-Bills game included plenty of other injuries to major players.The Bills lost two of their top offensive players in the first half: receiver Robert Woods injured his knee being tackled after a catch, and LeSean McCoy hurt his left thumb late in the second quarter. Its unclear how long each will be sidelined.A left knee injury knocked Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick out of the game, too.Chicago Bears rookie linebacker Leonard Floyd had the days scariest injury. The first-round draft pick from Georgia left on a stretcher with less than six minutes remaining in a loss to the New York Giants.Bears coach John Fox said Floyd injured his neck. The team said Sunday night that Floyd was released from the hospital and returned to Chicago.Some of his movement looked good or encouraging, but hes going through the necessary tests, Fox said after the game. It appeared it was on a tackle. Im sure they are evaluating him for a concussion as well. Anytime they bring the cart out and the board out, they have some neck concerns. He seemed to have pretty good movement skills at that point.The Bears also lost tight end Zach Miller to a foot injury after he caught three passes for 61 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown. Defensive back CreVon LeBlanc is in concussion protocol, and left guard Josh Sitton injured his right ankle.The Philadelphia Eagles lost two of their top running backs as Ryan Mathews (knee) and Darren Sproles (ribs) were both knocked out of their game with Seattle.The Seahawks also lost an emerging contributor when running back C.J.

Ford had entered the game with 10 sacks this season.Tampa Bay cornerback Brent Grimes injured his quadriceps and didnt return.Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis (calf), running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) and left guard Patrick Omameh (foot) also got knocked out of action Sunday.Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles left briefly in the first half with a shoulder injury.

Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. http://www.officialgreenbaypackerspro.com/Adrian-amos-packers-jersey/ . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday.

Its been a rough year for the Idaho football program, but the Vandals are ending it on a high note.Idaho (8-4) has qualified for a bowl game in what is its second-to-last year playing major college football.The Vandals were unceremoniously kicked out of the Sun Belt Conference earlier this year, and the administration decided it had had enough of FBS football and chose to become the first program in modern times to voluntarily drop to the FCS ranks.In two decades as an FBS program, Idaho has qualified for a bowl only three times. The Vandals will face Colorado State on Dec. 22 at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho. Their other bowl appearances have been in Boise as well.Coach Paul Petrino acknowledged it is sweet vindication to reach the postseason.It was a great feeling, Petrino said. Thats one reason Im so proud of our players. Theyve been kicked out of a conference and told they were going to change divisions. They never worried about that. They worried about playing one game at a time.Idaho won six of its final seven games to finish with a 6-2 mark in the Sun Belt, a collection of teams in the southeastern U.S. whose closest member is 2,000 miles from the Vandals campus in tiny Moscow, Idaho.The Sun Belt found that it didnt need Idaho or New Mexico State any longer in order to host a conference championship game and gave both the boot earlier this year.Idaho President Chuck Staben decided the two-decade experiment as an FBS program was producing only high expenses, with few wins and few fans to compensate. The Vandals averaged fewer than three wins per season as an FBS program since 1996, with eight 10-loss seasons.Crowds were sparse in the 16,000-seat Kibbiedome, a giant wooden stadium built in the shape of a Quonset hut.After next season, the Vandals will return to the FCS Big Sky Conference, a league they dominated in the 1980s and early 1990s.That will mean lower overall costs, especially with 22 fewer scholarships to provide, and lower travel costs.Staben said there was no chance the decision will be revisited now.In the long term, this well-deserved bowl invitation doess not change factors that informed our decision to join the Big Sky after the 2017-2018 season, versus pursuing an unsustainable future as an FBS independent team, Staben said.ddddddddddddRight now, were focused on celebrating the accomplishments of our student-athletes, Staben added.With all the turmoil surrounding them, you might have thought the Vandals would resume their losing ways, and at first they did.They opened the season with a victory over Montana State then were blown out by No. 4 Washington and Washington State of the Pac-12. They improved after that and finished the season with a four-game winning streak.We played two tough Pac-12 teams and got our butts whupped a little bit, said Petrino, the brother of Louisville coach Bobby Petrino. Our guys just kept fighting. Our kids got better and better. They found a way to win games.The Vandals are led by junior quarterback Matt Linehan, a son of Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator and former Vandal quarterback Scott Linehan.Matt Linehan said the Vandals were pleased to be headed to Boise, a city where they have a lot of alumni and are likely to draw a big, friendly crowd.It didnt matter what bowl we were going to, Linehan said. There was just a sigh of relief that we knew we were going.Linehan has thrown for 2,803 yards with 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season. Five of his receivers have caught passes for at least 350 yards.Vandals players expressed satisfaction that the game will be the only televised bowl game on Dec. 22 and will be broadcast nationwide on ESPN.This is my first time ever playing in a nationally televised game, said defensive back Jayshawn Jordan. Its a great way to end my college career.Linehan and other Vandals players have endured some lean seasons, and appreciate the success now.Weve gone through enough adversity to fight through it, Linehan said. Were happy to be here at this point.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
