Baltimore Ravens
12/04/2006 4:26 PM The Baltimore Sun reports the Ravens placed return specialist B.J.

With backup QB Derek Anderson directing the team in the second half after Charlie Frye injured his right wrist, the Browns not only overcame the Chiefs but rose above a week's worth of turmoil sparked by a 30-0 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. "It shows the kind of football team we have.

Timmerman plays hurt

St. Louis Rams
12/02/2006 10:17 AM The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports an MRI exam Thursday night disclosed that OG Adam Timmerman has been playing with three cracked ribs. The injury was thought be a bruise, but Timmerman was tested further when the pain persisted.

And, yes, he plans to be in the lineup — wearing a light wrap to protect his ribs — Sunday for his 202nd consecutive game. Read more
