The NFC East leaders saw receiver Hakeem Nicks, centre David Baas, running back Ahmad Bradshaw and cornerback Justin Tryon get tweaked in the 20-17 win. None of the injuries is considered serious and each of the players returned except Nicks, who pulled up near the end of the game. Nicks hurt a hamstring, Baas a knee, Bradshaw his right foot and Tryon had a stringer. "I was running a route, I think it was second down," Nicks said. "I was running and getting into my route and it caught my attention. I knew I could not go back in there and do anything on it, so I had to be smart." Dolphins centre Mike Pouncey left in the second half after taking a blow to the head. "I couldnt feel my legs," Pouncey said "Im all right now. Its my arms that are tingling. It was more scary than anything. I never had that happen in my life." Steelers standout linebacker LaMarr Woodley missed portions of the fourth quarter of a win over New England with a hamstring problem. Woodley had two sacks of Tom Brady in the 25-17 victory. Cornerback Ike Taylor sustained a stinger -- he was down on the ground for a few minutes when he was hurt in the fourth quarter. But he also returned to the game. Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones strained a hamstring in the first quarter at Seattle and did not return. Earlier, Jones made his return for the first time in a year, having not played since the sixth game of last season with a neck injury. He left the 34-12 win after taking a punt return back 63 yards in the first quarter. Next week, Cincinnati is at Tennessee, his first NFL team. "Im not missing that one in Tennessee. Ill do whatever I have to do to be healthy," Jones said. Montario Hardesty has a strained right calf, leaving the Browns without their top two running backs. Hardesty injured his calf in the first half of a 20-10 loss at San Francisco running a route and did not return. He is scheduled to have an MRI exam Monday, but said the injury does not appear serious. Hardesty was walking around the locker room after the game. Cleveland already was without starter Peyton Hillis, who missed his second straight game with a strained left hamstring.

Colts WR Blair White hurt his leg in the first quarter in a loss at Tennessee, returned, then left again in the second quarter for good. Colts CB Terrence Johnson was helped off the field putting little weight on his right leg, but he returned.

Panthers cornerback Darius Butler missed the game to be with his daughter, who had open heart surgery earlier this week. She had a setback on Friday, but is doing better, according to team officials. wholesale jerseys .

The changes worked out just fine the first time out. Fowler doubled, walked and scored twice in his return to the majors and rookie Juan Nicasio pitched seven strong innings, leading the Colorado Rockies past the Milwaukee Brewers 4-0 Friday night. "It cleared my mind," Fowler said of his stay at triple-A Colorado Springs. "Just go out see the ball and hit the ball and dont think about anything. Just take what the game gives you." A switch-hitting centre-fielder and leadoff man, Fowler began the season with the Rockies for a third consecutive year but struggled to fulfil his role as offensive catalyst. He was batting .238 when the Rockies sent him down to Colorado Springs on June 20. Recalled earlier Friday, Fowler, who raised his hands slightly, put more weight on his back leg and tightened his batting swing, led off the Rockies first with a double. He then used his speed on the basepaths to score Colorados first run, taking third on a grounder to short and sprinting home with two outs on a wild pitch in the dirt that briefly eluded catcher Jonathan Lucroy. "We got just an absolute hustle run to begin the game -- welcome back Dexter," Colorado manager Jim Tracy said. "Because hes the only guy wearing a Rockies uniform or maybe a major league uniform that could have advanced to third on that groundball." In the fifth, Fowler, back in the leadoff spot in place of injured Carlos Gonzalez, was at it again, drawing a one-out walk and stealing second to get into scoring position before Troy Tulowitzki singled to centre to drive him home. "God gives you some talent, youve just got to use it," Fowler said. "Im fast. Ive got good instincts. I should have been using them and I wasnt." His batting approach also appears more sound. "The barrel of his bat is in a much better place, the loop is not as pronounced, the path is cleaner and the swing is shorter," Tracy said. Fowler added that it was great to get some validation of his new approach in his first game back. "But at the same time, youve just got to take it in stride and come back another day and keep going." Colorado made it 2-0 in the third when Ellis hit a one-out double and Helton followed with an RBI single. The two repeated the sequence in the seventh. Mark Elllis doubled twice and Todd Helton added a pair of RBI singles to help Colorado win for the fourth time in five games. jerseys from china. Bouncing back from his first loss in five previous starts, Nicasio (4-2) allowed four hits, walked none and struck out four in helping Colorado handcuff the Brewers, who dropped to a 16-31 on the road. Their road winning percentage of .340 is an NL low. Matt Lindstrom and Huston Street finished off the shutout by pitching an inning apiece. Chris Narveson (6-6) pitched nearly as well as his counterpart in a six-inning outing, allowing five hits and three runs, but was foiled in his bid for a third consecutive winning decision. He struck out five and walked three. "I felt like I made some pretty good pitches," Narveson said. "You felt like you were in it, just a pitch away a couple of times. It was kind of weird how things bounced their way today. Balls down the line could have been another foot foul on three or four of those. Sometimes it takes breaks to go like that for you to get things going. Unfortunately things went for them tonight." Ryan Braun saw his career-best 23-game hit streak end, hitting into a double play in his final plate appearance in the seventh inning. The 0 for 3 night also snapped a 24-game hitting streak against Colorado, the longest run by an opposing player in the teams 19-year history. Colorado made it 2-0 in the third when Ellis hit a one-out double and Helton followed with an RBI single. The two repeated the sequence in the seventh.
