| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer is out for the season with a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. An MRI on Tuesday revealed the injury, which will require surgery. Toomer doesn't know exactly when he suffered the injury during the Giants' 14-10 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. Toomer had 32 catches for 360 yards with three touchdowns this season for the 6-2 Giants. New York battles the NFC's best team this Sunday when the 7-1 Chic |

| Lake Forest, IL (MySportsbook) - Chicago Bears defensive linchpin Brian Urlacher is listed as questionable for Sunday's key matchup against the New York Giants with a sprained big toe. The standout linebacker suffered the injury in the late stages of the Bears' 31-13 loss to the Dolphins at Soldier Field on Sunday, when he tried to bring down Miami running back Ronnie Brown on a rushing play. He limped off the field under his own power, but did not return for the remainder of the game. The University of New |

IRVING, Texas (AP) -The two most memorable plays Terrell Owens has made for the Dallas Cowboys are two he didn't make: a fourth-down drop that short circuited a rally against the New York Giants, and a deep, sure touchdown pass he dropped against Washington. His most memorable touchdown celebration? A nap that cost 15 yards against the Redskins. Those weren't the kinds of things T.O. had in mind when he signed with the Cowboys and proclaimed, ``Get your popcorn ready!'' Midway through his first season |

The Chicago Bears' star middle linebacker had no trouble avoiding reporters, but will he make it onto the field Sunday against the New York Giants? Coach Lovie Smith said Urlacher sat out practice with a sprained left big toe and was ``feeling a lot better today,'' but did not reveal much else. Did Urlacher run on the side or do anything to test his foot? ``He did not practice today,'' S |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New York Giants all-time leading receiver Amani Toomer will miss the rest of the season because of an injured left knee. Toomer, the team's co-leader with 32 catches this year, felt pain in his knee on Sunday and came to the sideline briefly in the 14-10 win over Houston. He later returned and finished the game. An MRI exam Monday night showed Toomer had a partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament. He has elected to have season-ending surgery, but did not specify when th |

| (MySportsbook) - I'm sure no one on the New York Giants will admit they were looking past the Houston Texans and toward an upcoming showdown against the Chicago Bears. It was tighter than most expected, but New York found a way to scrape by with a 14-10 victory on Sunday, and a win in the NFL is what matters most for every team, including the 6-2 Giants. The top team in the NFC East is enjoying a five-game winning streak, the longest under head coach Tom Coughlin, and has won six of its first eight games fo |

The Cowboys were severely outplayed at home by the New York Giants, then had a game's worth of blunders catch up to them against the Redskins. Parcells likes to say ``the game tells you what you are.'' So at 4-4 Dallas is average. That means the coach is, too. Maybe age has caught up to the 65-year-old Parcells |

| (MySportsbook) - Houston had a chance on Sunday to stun the New York Giants on their home turf, but the Texans found a way to lose once again, dropping their record to 2-6 on the season after losing two straight and three of their last four games overall. Shortly after the Giants took a 14-10 lead in the fourth quarter, Houston responded by driving down to the New York 38-yard line, but Jameel Cook fumbled after catching a pass from David Carr, when he was hit by New York linebacker Gerris Wilkinson and Cor |

| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan is expected to miss the next two to four weeks with a sprain to the Lis Franc ligament in his right foot. Strahan left the Giants' 14-10 win against the Houston Texans on Sunday in the second quarter with the injury. The Pro-Bowl end underwent an MRI and CAT scan on Monday to determine the nature of the injury and the tests revealed the sprain.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -The New York Giants will be minus Michael Strahan for a while. A sprained ligament in his right foot will keep the Pro Bowl defensive end off his feet for at least a week and out of the lineup for two weeks to a month - and possibly longer. Tests on Strahan's foot Monday revealed a sprain to the Lis Franc ligament, one of the main stabilizers in the middle of the foot. ``This is not an injury that requires surgery,'' trainer Ronnie Barnes said. ``Michael will be on crutches |
