>>Bears Lose Tillman To Triceps Injury

(Santa Clara, CA) -- The Bears win over the 49ers was tampered a bit with a tough break for one Chicago player. Cornerback Charles Tillman injured his right triceps and didn't return to the game. He had an injury in the same area the previous season that he wasn't able to return from. It occurred on a play in the third quarter. Tillman played in only eight games in 2013.

>>Rice To Appeal Indefinite Suspension

(Undated) -- Ray Rice is looking to get back into the NFL as soon as possible. Pro Football Talk reports the former Baltimore Ravens running back will appeal his indefinite suspension from the league on Monday. The appeal will be handled by the NFLPA and a lawyer obtained by Rice. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Rice last week after TMZ released a video of him knocking out his now-wife, Janay. The Ravens released him on that same day.

>>Redskins Lose RG3, Jackson To Injuries

(Landover, MD) -- The Washington Redskins are dealing with injuries to two of their biggest offensive stars.

RG3 is expected to undergo more tests on Monday, but ESPN reports the injury could be season-ending. Washington also lost wide receiver DeSean Jackson during the game. He has been diagnosed with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. Jackson will also have further tests done.

>>Chargers Rip On Richard Sherman

(San Diego, CA) -- After the Chargers win against the Seahawks on Sunday, a couple of San Diego's wide receivers had words for Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman. Keenan Allen said Sherman is a "normal guy" and "he's not really a shutdown corner." Allen caught five passes for 55 yards. The Stanford graduate responded on twitter saying "Lmao Exposed? .... Complete 3 passes 0 touchdowns 0 explosive passes.... These guys make me laugh." Sherman spent much of the offseason having a public feud with Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson over who was the best at the position in the NFL.

>>Eagles Clash With Colts On "MNF"

(Indianapolis, IN) -- The Philadelphia Eagles head to Indianapolis to take on the Colts on "Monday Night Football" at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Eagles are seeking a 2-and-0 start after rallying from a 17-0 halftime deficit against Jacksonville to beat the Jaguars 34-17 at home in Week One. After two fumbles and an interception in the first half, quarterback Nick Foles settled down to finish with 322 yards passing and two touchdowns in the win. Reigning NFL rushing champ LeSean McCoy and Darren Sproles combined for 145 yards and a score on the ground. The Colts are 0-and-1 after opening the season with a 31-24 road loss at Denver. Indianapolis fell behind 24-0 in the second quarter before a frantic rally fell short. Andrew Luck completed 35-of-53 passes for 370 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts, but he was also picked off twice and sacked three times. Indianapolis managed just 54 yards rushing in the setback.
