PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Steelers could feel the difference on Monday. The preseason was over. This was game week. The regular season is here. Let's go play the Miami Dolphins. One problem: The preseason really wasn't over, and an exhibition game against Carolina remained.

(AP) -With backup running back Sammy Morris facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's steroid policy, the Miami Dolphins will be in the market for a replacement as they set their regular-season roster this weekend. The Dolphins must reach the league-mandated limit of 53 players Saturday. But as other teams make cuts, Miami will try to upgrade at a few positions - especially running back. Morris will miss the first four games after testing positive last October for ephedrine, sai |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Na'il Diggs sprained his right knee against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. The injury was not as serious as first thought, the team said Friday. He had an MRI test and is listed as day-to-day. Diggs got tangled up with Miami defenders on the line of scrimmage during a punt in the first quarter of Carolina's 19-10 win over the Dolphins. ``I got tripped up on the line, and it got twisted up,'' said Diggs, who was on crutches and wearing |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -In the wake of the Miami Dolphins' latest exhibition game, the most interesting issue surrounding the team concerned confusion over whether third-string lineman Kevin Vickerson's injury was to his hand or hamstring.

The Dolphins' leading headline generator since 2002, Ricky Williams is serving a one-year NFL suspension and recovering after breaking his arm last month while playing in the Canadian Football League.
