PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jonathan Dwyer might not get a chance at a third straight 100-yard game on Sunday against the New York Giants. . Dwyer is listed as doubtful thanks to a right quad strain that prevented him from practicing Friday. Starting running back Rashard Mendenhall (right Achilles) is also listed as doubtful, leaving Isaac Redman and his sore ankles as the healthiest feature back on the roster. "The good thing is that weve got three good running backs, so when somebody goes down we always have somebody else ready to go," Redman said. "Its a shame that we all cant get healthy at the same time, but thats what makes it crucial that we have so much depth." Dwyer became the first Pittsburgh back in four years to post consecutive 100-yard games when he rushed for 107 in last weeks 27-12 win over Washington. He tweaked the quad in the fourth quarter and was limited to just one day of practice this week. Though he stressed "everything was cool right now," Dwyer will likely have a diminished role if he plays at all. "Its all about getting wins and getting to the Super Bowl, thats all I care about," Dwyer said. "Sure, I want to be out there and play, so when Im ready to go Ill be on the field." While safety Troy Polamalu will miss his fourth straight game and sixth overall this season with a right calf injury, linebacker LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) and safety Ryan Clark (concussion) are probable. Woodley has dealt with a series of hamstring issues over the last year but believes he will be on the field as the Steelers (4-3) look for their third straight win. "Im not worried about it at all," Woodley said. "The things that have happened this year, it just takes a little time for it to settle down and heal, and then Ill be ready to play. I feel a lot better today, and Ill be ready to play Sunday." Woodley will get a little extra time to rest at home. The Steelers will remain in Pittsburgh until Sunday morning, leaving around 9 a.m. in advance of the 4:25 p.m. kickoff vs. the Giants (6-2), and will fly back following the game. Typically NFL teams are required to travel one day in advance, but the league gave the Steelers permission for the one-day trip after the teams hotel in Jersey City lost power due to Hurricane Sandy.

Deep into second half extra-time stoppage time, Morgan found space in the box and got on the end of a cross from midfield substitute Heather OReilly to head the USA into the championship game against Japan. . But the Calgary Stampeders defensive lineman wasnt supposed to tell the media that. "First of all, I asked him to speak," Calgary coach Hufnagel said after Saturdays walk through.

Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos joined TSN Radios Mike Richards this morning and admitted that the club is already planning for the off-season and that his sights are set clearly in one specific area of improvement.CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Left-hander Barry Zito will start Game 4 for the San Francisco Giants if they can extend their NL division series against the Cincinnati Reds. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum? Hes staying in the bullpen. San Francisco flew in from the West Coast on Monday trailing 2-0 in the best-of-five series. The Reds can finish it off Tuesday night when Homer Bailey (13-10) goes against the Giants Ryan Vogelsong (14-9). Manager Bruce Bochy wanted to see how the first two games of the series played out before deciding his Game 4 starter. The Reds won 5-2 and 9-0, with Lincecum pitching two innings in relief on Sunday night. Bochy chose Zito (15-8) because of his strong finish to the season. The left-hander won his last five starts and seven straight decisions. The Giants won the last 11 games that he started. "Hes been really on top of his game, and I think hes earned this," Bochy said. "We all do. Im glad to be able to tell Barry that hes getting the start. When you win your last 11 games that a pitcher starts, its a pretty good thing." It was a touchy decision for the Giants. Lincecum pitched their Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas in 2010, but has struggled thiis season. [url=http://www.buccaneersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-andre-neblett-jersey... Neblett Jersey. He lost a career-high 15 games, had a 5.18 ERA and tied his career high with 17 wild pitches. Bochy considered starting Matt Cain, who lost the opening game of the series on Saturday night, if San Francisco gets to a Game 4. "Sure, we put thought in it, but this is more a case with rewarding Zito with how hes been pitching and the job hes done, and I think hes earned this," Bochy said. "Instead of pushing a starter back on short rest -- there is a history of that not working too well. And this would have been the first time that we have asked Matt to do it this year." The Reds are unsure whether right-hander Johnny Cueto will be available if theres a Game 4. He started the series opener but left in the first inning with back spasms. If hes unavailable, the Reds could start Mat Latos, who relieved Cueto on Saturday night. Cuetos uncertain status isnt much of an issue with the Reds. "Everybody is staying calm, not worrying if Johnny is able to pitch in the future," right-hander Bronson Arroyo said Monday. "We dont even know now, and I dont think anybody is panicked about it because we feel were deep enough to compete regardless." ' ' '
