ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -Facing the New York Giants defensive line is a tough enough task for an offensive line in the best of circumstances. The banged-up Oakland Raiders have to do it this week with backups in three of the five spots. Left tackle Mario Henderson views this as a good opportunity to ``go out there and make a name for ourselves.'' Henderson is one of two starters who will be in his usual spot this week, along with right guard Cooper Carlisle. Starting left guard Robert Gallery is out with a |

The Saints have a bye this week, and Bell said he'll be back on the field when New Orleans hosts the New York Giants on Oct. 18. Thomas said he believes the Saints will be well served by having Bell back, even if it reduces his workload. Reggie Bush, who often lines up as a receiver or catches passes out of the backfield, is not likely to be affected as much. |

| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Giants linebacker Michael Boley is expected to be sidelined for a month after undergoing knee surgery on Tuesday. Boley had an arthroscopic procedure performed to repair a partially torn meniscus in his right knee. Recovery time is approximately four weeks. The injury likely occurred during this past Sunday's game against Kansas City, although Boley did not miss a defensive snap and made five solo tackles with one sack. The knee apparently stiffened up on the pl |
