| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck will undergo foot surgery on Friday and miss the remainder of the 2006 season. The 23-year old former Notre Dame product injured his Lisfranc ligament in the team's game against the Dallas Cowboys on October 23 and had been on the shelf for New York's last three games. Tuck recorded 10 tackles in the six games he played this year. |

The surroundings will be familiar, but there will be far less hype Sunday when the Chicago Bears return to Giants Stadium to take on the New York Jets. Chicago (8-1) faced the New York Giants last weekend at Giants Stadium. Coach Lovie Smith has the positive momentum of already having won there, but admits there is still an unknown of whether it is an advantage. ``We know how to win there; we know that for a fact,'' coach Lovie Smith said. ``But I don't know what advantage it will be for us.''

Hester tied a record with his 108-yard return of a missed field goal, and Chicago beat the New York Giants 38-20. Now, the Bears (8-1) try to become the first visiting team since Washington in 1999 to win at the Meadowlands in consecutive weeks when they visit the Jets (5-4) on Sunday. As rare as it is for a visiting team to visit the same stadium two |

Portis was so out of kilter this season that he only dressed up once, portraying a character he called ``Dolomite Jenkins'' before the New York Giants game in Week 5. Gibbs was criticized for rushing Portis back into action after the initial shoulder injury. Portis said Wednesday he was ``good enough to play.'' ``But at the same time, I think I protected the shoulder and tried to stay away fro |

Six weeks would put the running back in line for the season finale at home against the New York Giants. Putting Portis on IR would make him ineligible for the remainder of the season, and the source specified that the club was debating resting him for the last seven games, allowing his neck, ankle, shoulder and hand to heal.

It's not the first time that has happened in the NFL this year, because the review system is practically useless in that situation. The ball is usually hidden in the moving pile and it is nearly impossible to distinguish whether or not the ball ever gets past the first-down marker.

The Cowboys are coming off an easy win in Arizona and are back in the thick of the NFC East playoff race at 5-4, tied with Philadelphia and just one game behind the New York Giants. The Colts and Cowboys have played just 13 times previously, with Dallas owning a 7-6 series mark. One of those meetings came in Super Bowl V, a 16-13 Baltimore Colts win in Miami's Orange Bowl after the 1970 season -- the first year after the AFL m |

Parcells also liked the kid's bloodline: his father, Rob, played fullback for Parcells on the New York Giants in the 1980s. Before Carpenter could learn the playbook, Parcells moved Ellis from defensive end to linebacker. Ellis bristled at first, fearing he'd be cut if it didn't work out.
