NFL Notebook: Gage has broken bones in back
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee receiver Justin Gage has several broken transverse process bones in his lower back, and he is unlikely to play Sunday against Buffalo. The receiver was injured when he fell to the ground after making a leaping catch to set up the go-ahead touchdown in last week's 34-27 win at San Francisco.
Portis out with concussion
ASHBURN, Va. — Clinton Portis' concussion will keep the Washington Redskins running back out of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Portis was hurt in a helmet-to-helmet hit in the first quarter of Sunday's 31-17 loss to Atlanta. Portis' injury means Ladell Betts will get his first start since 2006, assuming Betts is able to play. The backup is nursing a sprained ankle and did not practice Thursday.
Falcons coach fined
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith has been fined $15,000 by the NFL for a sideline scuffle, while Washington cornerback DeAngelo Hall avoided any punishment. The NFL also fined Redskins safety LaRon Landry $7,500, Washington defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth $5,000 and Falcons director of athletic performance Jeff Fish $2,500. Hall was not fined. Smith acknowledged that he was fined when he came off the field after a Falcons practice on Thursday, though he didn't discuss the amount.
Cardinals' deadline extended
TEMPE, Ariz. — The NFL has given the Arizona Cardinals a 24-hour extension to the television blackout deadline for Sunday's game in Glendale against the Seattle Seahawks. To air live on local television, league rules require games to be sold out 72 hours before kickoff. This is the fourth time this season the NFL has granted Arizona an extension. As of Thursday afternoon, the Cardinals say they have about 800 tickets remaining to sell before Friday's new deadline of 2:15 p.m. local time.
