Tolbert Doubtful for Chargers’ Monday Matchup With Chiefs

San Diego Charg­ers run­ning back Mike Tol­bert is listed as doubt­ful for Mon­day night’s divi­sional matchup vs. the Kansas City Chiefs with hand and ham­string injuries. Tol­bert did not par­tic­i­pate in prac­tice this week as he nursed the ham­string injury aggra­vated in last week’s win over the Min­nesota Vikings. Cur­tis Brink­ley will likely serve as the backup to Charg­ers starter Ryan Mathews. In six games this sea­son Tol­bert has car­ried the ball 47 times for 163 yards and three touch­downs. He has also recorded 28 recep­tions for 231 yards and a pair of... 

No. 4 Stanford Outlasts USC 56–48 in 3OT

LOS ANGELES — A few min­utes after his Stan­ford team­mates left the field, Andrew Luck sprinted toward the Col­i­seum tun­nel with both arms thrust tri­umphantly sky­ward, his heart still pound­ing from 56 points, three over­times and a season’s worth of drama packed into one crazy night. After nearly a full cal­en­dar year of blowout vic­to­ries, Luck and the fourth-ranked Car­di­nal might have for­got­ten what a thriller feels like. Luck loved it all, right down to the final South­ern Cal­i­for­nia fum­ble that ended No. 4 Stanford’s 56–48 triple-overtime vic­tory... 

Yankees Exercise 2012 Club Options on Cano, Swisher

From beat writer Marc Carig of the Newark Star-Ledger comes word that the Yan­kees have exer­cised 2012 club options on sec­ond base­man Robin­son Cano and right fielder Nick Swisher. Cano’s option is worth $ 14 mil­lion, a bar­gain rate for a player of his cal­iber. The 29-year-old All-Star bat­ted .302 with an .882 OPS, 28 home runs and 118 RBI in 681 plate appear­ances this sea­son for the Amer­i­can League East cham­pi­ons.

Dolphins RB Thomas Ruled Out vs. Giants With Hamstring Injury

The Miami Dol­phins have ruled out run­ning back Daniel Thomas for Sunday’s matchup with the New York Giants because of a lin­ger­ing ham­string injury, a team source told NFL Network’s Stacey Dales. Thomas was orig­i­nally listed as ques­tion­able in Friday’s injury report but was not on the team’s flight to New York. Thomas’ absence will mean a larger role for starter Reg­gie Bush, who had been shar­ing car­ries with Thomas. Lex Hilliard and Steve Sla­ton could see more action as well, as the Dol­phins go up against the Giants’ 27th-ranked run defense. Dol­phins cor­ner­back... 

Jones Has 505 Yards, Sooners Rip K-State

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles put Oklahoma’s sea­son back on track. Now, Kansas State will see if it can bounce back from its own loss. Jones threw for a school-record 505 yards and five touch­downs Sat­ur­day, his All-American wide receiver caught 14 passes for 171 yards and a score, and the 11th-ranked Soon­ers took out some pent up frus­tra­tion with a 58–17 thump­ing of the No. 10 Wildcats. Their national cham­pi­onship hopes dashed by Texas Tech last week– along with their 39-game home win­ning streak– the Soon­ers (7–1, 4–1) spoiled the same hopes...

Cowboys Release Ineffective RB Choice After Slow Start

The Dal­las Cow­boys released run­ning back Tashard Choice on Sat­ur­day, NFL Network’s Michael Lom­bardi confirmed. The story was first reported by ESPN. Choice con­firmed the move on his Twit­ter page, writ­ing, “I just want to say thanks to all the great dal­las cow­boy fans. My time in Dal­las has come to an end and the best is yet come. God bless.” Choice, 26, is aver­ag­ing 2.7 yards on 28 car­ries with­out any touch­downs this sea­son. He will go on waivers because he has less than four sea­sons of tenure. The Cow­boys will acti­vate line­backer Bruce Carter... 

Cedric Benson’s Non-Injury Grievance Rejected, Suspension Stands

On Fri­day, Ben­gals run­ning back Cedric Ben­son pre­sented to an out­side arbi­tra­tor a griev­ance regard­ing his one-game sus­pen­sion (plus one-game fine) for vio­la­tion of the league’s per­sonal con­duct pol­icy dur­ing the lock­out. Per a source with knowl­edge of the sit­u­a­tion, the griev­ance has been rejected. Ben­son didn’t expect to play on Sun­day, even if he pre­vailed. It’s some­what sur­pris­ing that the rul­ing came as quickly as it did. He’ll be eli­gi­ble to rejoin the team on Mon­day. A sep­a­rate unfair labor prac­tice charge...
