The officer clocked him driving 63 mph in a 55-mph zone and crossing over lane lines without signaling on numerous occasions. Woods was arrested and later registered a .12 blood alcohol |

| p>ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -Detroit Lions running back Kevin Jones will not play at Green Bay on Sunday, and team officials are concerned his foot injury could keep him out a lot longer. Jones injured his left foot late in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and was undergoing testing on Monday. He may have a fracture/dislocation of the foot, an injury that kept linebacker Teddy Lehman on the sidelines for nearly 12 months. ``That was frustrating, because it was almost a complete year before I played |

DETROIT (AP) -Minnesota Vikings running back Chester Taylor missed Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions with a rib injury. Taylor was replaced in the starting lineup by Ciatrick Fason.

It was far from the homecoming the Seattle native wanted. And it was far from what the former Minnesota Vikings leading receiver and the Seahawks expected when they agreed to a backloaded, $49 million, seven-year contract last spring. ``Frustrating,'' is how Burleson described his first few months in Seattle.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -Minnesota Vikings running back Chester Taylor's bruised ribs left him doubtful on the injury report Friday and unlikely to play against Detroit. Taylor went through part of practice, but coach Brad Childress said he would need ``a sprint to get to this game.'' Ciatrick Fason would probably take over as the featured back if Taylor is out, with Mewelde Moore increasing his share of the load and Artose Pinner possibly getting some carries. Input from Taylor will factor into the de |

The Bears didn't practice for three days after beating the Minnesota Vikings. So what did Grossman do? Maybe try to get away from the game and just chill? Nope. He watched tape - mostly of his strong performances in the first five weeks to try and spot what he was doing right and where it went wrong. He worked out and chat |

DETROIT (AP) -The Minnesota Vikings are in the playoff picture even though they're two games under .500 after losing five of six games. ``It's kind of crazy,'' Minnesota offensive guard Steve Hutchinson acknowledged. ``Obviously we need to capitalize and win the remaining four games for us to have a shot.'' As usual in December, the Detroit Lions (2-10) have only pride at stake. ``It seems like that's what we've been playing for toward the end of every season the last five years,'' Lions offensive tackl |
