Packers' Jolly receives six-year prison term

State District Judge Denise Bradley imposed the sentence despite tearful pleas from Jolly and his mother, Phyllis Jolly, to allow the 6-foot-3, 325-pound lineman to be treated for his addiction to codeine instead of going to prison. Jolly's aunt, agent and drug counselor also testified on his behalf.

Browns RB Hardesty tests calf injury outdoors

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns running back Montario Hardesty tested his injured calf by running outside Wednesday as his teammates practiced. Hardesty has missed Cleveland's past two games after tearing a muscle in his right calf Oct. 30 against San Francisco. Hardesty's injury was a double blow to the Browns because they were already without starter Peyton Hillis, who will miss his fifth straight game this week with a hamstring injury. While the Browns practiced inside their field house Wednesday, Hardesty went outdoors with a trainer.

He ran sprints at half-speed and worked on some agility drills. Hardesty rejoined his teammates but stood to the side as they began installing the game plan for Sunday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coach Pat Shurmur expects Hardesty to practice at some point this week and hopes he can play Sunday. Without Hillis and Hardesty, the Browns have started Chris Ogbonnaya at tailback the past two weeks. Ogbonnaya, who was signed off Houston's practice squad Oct. 18, rushed for 90 yards in Sunday's loss to St. Louis. Shurmur said starting strong safety T.J. Ward had his cast removed to undergo more tests, which revealed a foot sprain. Shurmur believes Ward, who was fitted with a new cast, to return this season. Ward was injured in the Nov. 6 loss at Houston. Wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi practiced after missing two games with symptoms from a concussion sustained Oct. 23. During the portion of practice open to reporters, Massaquoi took part in drills and didn't seem to be limited. Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press

Redskins put two on IR, bring back Stallworth

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins have placed receiver Leonard Hankerson and defensive end Kedric Golston on injured reserve and re-signed receiver Donte' Stallworth and defensive end Darrion Scott. Third-round pick Hankerson tore the labrum in his right hip, and Golston injured a pair of knee ligaments in Sunday's 20-9 loss to Miami. Hankerson was hurt during his first 100-yard receiving game in the pros, while six-year veteran Golston has played in all nine games this season and was a regular part of the defensive line rotation. Tuesday's moves make Hankerson and Golston the sixth and seventh Redskins players on IR this season.

Stallworth and Scott both were cut by the Redskins as part of a flurry of roster moves last week. Stallworth has five catches this season, while Scott has not played. The team also waived safety Kareem Moore, who was on the physically unable to perform list with knee injury and has not played this season. Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press

Bills center Wood (ACL) out for rest of 2011

Wood confirmed what the Bills feared, that he tore a ligament a day earlier in a 44-7 loss at Dallas. He added doctors are waiting for the swelling to subside before determining when to have surgery. It'll be the second season-ending operation Wood's had in his three years in Buffalo; he broke two bones in his left leg during his rookie season. "It's definitely not something I wanted to go through again, another long rehab process," Wood said. "But I'll do it.

And I'll just look to come back stronger next year." The initial prognosis is Wood will miss up to nine months, though the center said he's aiming to be ready for the start of training camp next summer. The second of Buffalo's two first-round draft picks in 2009, Wood was hurt after Ryan Fitzpatrick threw his first of three interceptions late in the third quarter. Turning to chase down Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman, Wood said he was attempting to sidestep a Dallas player when he ran into linebacker DeMarcus Ware and fell awkwardly. Wood was not the only player the Bills lost to a season-ending injury Sunday. Coach Chan Gailey said rookie linebacker Chris White will also have surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right knee. White did it covering a punt earlier in the third quarter. Gailey added that receiver Steve Johnson is day to day after he hurt his left shoulder in the fourth quarter and did not return. The status of safety George Wilson (stinger) is also uncertain this week as the Bills (5-4) prepare to travel to play Miami (2-7). Wood's injury is the most significant, and latest blow to a team that's lost three of its past four and is losing ground in the AFC playoff hunt. It's also a blow to an offense that's suddenly sputtering. After opening the season by scoring 20 or more points in its first seven games, Buffalo has combined for 18 in its past two. Buffalo's offensive line is already depleted. Left guard Andy Levitre has spent the past three games starting at left tackle filling in for both starter Demetrius Bell (shoulder) and rookie backup Chris Hairston (ankle). Bell has not practiced since being hurt six weeks ago, while Hairston was left inactive the past two weeks. Gailey said, Levitre will likely make yet another positional switch and take over at center for Wood. Hairston is expected to return at left tackle. Wood becomes Buffalo's third regular placed on injured reserve in as many weeks. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams (foot) went on the list last week, while linebacker Shawne Merriman (Achilles tendon) also is out for the year. And that doesn't include veteran kicker Rian Lindell, who's out indefinitely after breaking a bone in his right shoulder in a 27-11 loss to the New York Jets on Nov. 6.

Haynesworth starts Sunday for Bucs in defeat

He was credited with five tackles (four solo) but the Buccaneers were crushed by the Houston Texans 37-9 to fall to 4-5 on the season. Haynesworth started even though he didn't practice with his new team until Thursday. The 350-pound defensive tackle said Thursday he was motivated to leave behind two-plus disappointing seasons with Washington and New England and prove he can still be a productive player. The 10th-year pro developed into one of the league's top defensive linemen during seven seasons with the Tennessee Titans, but has underperformed since rejecting an offer from Tampa Bay as a free agent in 2009 and signing a seven-year, $100 million deal with the Redskins. New England obtained him in a July trade, but Haynesworth had little impact in a part-time role and lasted just eight games with the Patriots.

Coach Raheem Morris and general manager Mark Dominik believe Haynesworth still has the talent to excel in a 4-3 defensive scheme after struggling in Washington and New England. Haynesworth is in the lineup Sunday against the Houston Texans, filling in for the injured Gerald McCoy. McCoy tore his right biceps last week and his backup, Frank Okam, is inactive with a sore calf. Receiver Andre Johnson was inactive for the Texans with right hamstring injury that's sidelined him more than a month. Quarterback T.J. Yates, cornerback Sherrick McManis, safety Danieal Manning, guard Thomas Austin, tackle Andrew Gardner and tight end Garrett Graham were Houston's other inactives. Cornerback Anthony Gaitor, linebacker Dekoda Watson, tackles Derek Hardman and James Lee, receiver Micheal Spurlock and defensive end Tim Crowder were inactive for the Bucs. Information from The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Titans' Washington, Cook, Hall back at practice

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Wide receiver Nate Washington, tight end Jared Cook and fullback Ahmard Hall were back on the practice field for the Tennessee Titans on Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Carolina. Linebacker Barrett Ruud sat out again Friday with his injured groin, but will be questionable and will be a game-time decision for the Titans. Rookie linebacker Colin McCarthy, just back from a hamstring injury, could get his first NFL start if Ruud cannot go. Safety Chris Hope, who has practiced fully this week in returning from a broken forearm, will be listed as questionable.

Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck (knee) will be probable, while defensive end Dave Ball is out with a concussion. Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press

Bills' Johnson misses practice, expected to play

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills top receiver Steve Johnson didn't practice Friday because he was sick, but the illness shouldn't keep him out of Sunday's game against the host Dallas Cowboys. Johnson came to the practice facility for medication Friday morning before returning home to rest. He leads the team with 42 catches for 523 yards, and hasn't missed a game despite a nagging groin injury. Rookie cornerback Aaron Williams (chest) is questionable after missing the past five games.

Left tackle Demetrius Bell (shoulder), linebacker Chris Kelsay (calf), and kicker Rian Lindell (shoulder) all are out. The game is the first of three straight on the road for the Bills (5-3). Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press
