Saban added Monday that Harrington would be the starter for Sunday's game against the New York Jets and that Culpepper would continue to work toward getting healthy and getting back on the field.

| (MySportsbook) - To say the New York Jets were not at their best on Sunday in Jacksonville is kind of like saying Alex Rodriguez has a small problem hitting in the postseason. The Jets were dominated in every facet of the game on Sunday, as the Jacksonville Jaguars pounded them, 41-0. And to be honest, it was not even that close. Chad Pennington had perhaps his worst game as a pro, and was 10-for-17 for 71 yards with three interceptions and an abysmal career-low 28.9 passer rating. All three of his picks |

Hall was supposed to solve the Redskins' decade-long kicking woes when he signed a five-year, $7.1 million contract as a free agent in 2003. He missed only one game in six years with the New York Jets, but his only healthy year in Washington was his first. The Redskins also signed offensive lineman Nick Steitz to the practice squad and released offensive lineman CJ Brooks.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. The info |

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -Leon Washington zipped through one hole after another, showing off some elusive moves, and got the New York Jets' struggling running game on track for the first time this season. Shedding his image of being no more than a change-of-pace back, the rookie from Florida State had a breakout performance Sunday at Jacksonville. He ran for 101 yards on 23 carries and provided the only bright spot in an otherwise embarrassing 41-0 loss. ``I thought Leon ran the ball well with the chances |

Backup cornerback Scott Starks sprained an ankle against the New York Jets on Sunday, but he wasn't expected to miss any games. The Packers waived Carroll less than 24 hours after his inconsistent performance against Philadelphia on Oct. 2. A 2004 first-round draft pick by Green Bay, Carroll broke up three passes and h |

Suggs, a fourth-round pick of Cleveland in 2003, led the Browns with 744 yards rushing in 2004 before his tenure there was derailed by an array of neck, shoulder, toe, ankle and thumb injuries.

They escaped Tennessee's improbable upset bid Sunday, had to rally twice in the final three minutes to beat the New York Jets, and have been besieged by a run defense so bad coach Tony Dungy challenged his players with the no-so-subtle phrase that makes defenders across America wince. ``We're a little bit soft right now,'' Dungy said of his run defense after reviewing an |

| MySportsbook) - Jacksonville Jaguars middle linebacker Mike Peterson will miss the remainder of the season with a torn pectoral muscle, announced coach Jack Del Rio on Monday. Peterson sustained the injury early in Jacksonville's 41-0 win over the New York Jets on Sunday, but Del Rio wasn't sure exactly when it occurred. Since joining the team in 2003, Peterson has led the Jaguars in tackles. He has posted 32 tackles this season, and his best campaign came last year when he recorded 131 tackles, six sacks |

| Davie, FL (MySportsbook) - Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban said Joey Harrington will likely start at quarterback this Sunday against the New York Jets as Daunte Culpepper continues to recover from a shoulder injury. Harrington started this past Sunday's game against the New England Patriots and threw for 232 yards with a pair of costly interceptions in a 20-10 loss at Gillette Stadium. The Dolphins are off to a disappointing 1-4 start. Culpepper, who tore knee ligaments last fall in his final season |

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -Eric Mangini remembers losing some ugly, lopsided games as a high school football player, and even a few in college. ``One week, we lost 150-0,'' the New York Jets coach recalled Monday. ``You just come back the next weekend and play hard and try to improve.'' That simplified approach will certainly be put to the test this week as the Jets try to rebound from their worst loss in 20 years, 41-0 at Jacksonville on Sunday. ``They pretty much beat us in every phase of the game: off |
