CHASKA, Minn. -- The Latest on the Ryder Cup (all times local):6:20 p.m.Europe will have to come back from a big deficit in Sundays singles to hold on to the Ryder Cup once again.Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reid finished off the last match of the day on the 17th green to cap a good afternoon for the U.S. team and give the Americans a 9 1/2-6 1/2 lead going into the final singles matches.The U.S. team won three of the afternoon four ball matches, helped in one when Lee Westwood missed a short putt on the 18th hole that would have given he and Danny Willett a half in their match against J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore.Europe has won the last three Ryder Cups, including a 2012 win in Chicago when the U.S. led 10-6 going into the singles play.The Europeans would need to win 7 1/2 points in the 12 singles matches to retain the cup.----6 p.m.The U.S. team gave up the first point of the afternoon, but turned stingy in a hurry.Phil Mickelson, playing with Matt Kuchar, got the point back by rolling in a short birdie putt at the 17th to close out a 2-and-1 win over Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer. Soon after, Lee Westwood missed a short birdie putt at No. 18 that would have enabled the Englishman and Danny Willett to gain a halve in their match against J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore.The U.S. led 8 1/2-6 1/2 with Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth 3-up over Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson and assured of at least a half point in that match.---5:10 p.m.Rory McIlroy got the best of a heckler, then paired with rookie Thomas Pieters to do the same to the U.S. duo of Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson, giving Europe the first point of the afternoon four-ball session.Pieters sealed the 3-and-1 win with a short birdie putt. It was McIlroys third consecutive match win and drew Europe even at 6 1/2-6 1/2.Earlier, he got into an exchange with a fan between the seventh green and eighth tee. After officials came over and McIlroy identified him, the fan was removed from the grounds.---3:10 p.m.Patrick Reed has been one of the stars of the show for the Americans so far at this Ryder Cup.Playing again with Jordan Spieth, Reed hit one of the best shots of the tournament to give the duo a 1-up lead at the one-third mark of their four-ball match against European power couple Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson.Reed dropped his approach onto the sixth green just right. The ball rolled back perfectly and plopped into the cup for an eagle and a second straight hole won for the U.S. pair.Reed erupted in celebration, pointing a double-arm pump at the crowd behind the ropes and exchanging hard hand slaps and fist bumps with his partner and their caddies.Further up the scoreboard, Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters have taken a commanding lead in their best-ball battle with Americans Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson. McIlroy and Peters were four holes ahead at the midway mark, as the European tandem took the turn for the back nine.---1:55 p.m.All four of the afternoon four-ball matches are underway. The Europeans own an early edge in the first match with Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters taking a 2-up lead to the No. 6 hole over Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson.What happened on the fifth hole was hard to believe.Koepka hit a drive off the tee that strayed to the left into the rough, bounced once and onto the back of a spectator standing just inside the ropes. The ball astoundingly stayed stuck there, lodging between the mans back and the top of his backpack.The story only got stranger from there. The mans identity? None other than the father of Pieters, according to the NBC announcers.Koepka had to take a drop, and the Americans were able to make birdie on the par-4.---12:30 p.m.Team Europe has crept closer on the strength of a furious Spaniard rally to finish foursome play.Fellow countrymen Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello halved their match with Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth, and Team USA has a slim 6+ to 5+ lead entering the afternoon four-ball matches.The Reed-Spieth tandem took a four-hole lead to the 13th tee box, before posting three straight bogeys. They squared the 18th hole to preserve the tie, but the Europeans won two of the other three matches to put the pressure on the Americans for the next session.---12:10 p.m.Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed will play all five matches for the Americans. Thats a departure from the last time Davis Love III was captain and made sure everyone sat out at least one match.Love also broke up the Brandt Snedeker-Brooks Koepka tandem after they were undefeated in two matches.Koepka and Dustin Johnson will take on Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters, who are 2-0 in their matches.J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore will go up against Danny Willett and Lee Westwood, a match with four players who have yet to contribute a point.Phil Mickelson is going back out in the afternoon, teaming with Matt Kuchar against Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer.Spieth and Reed face Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose, a rematch from fourballs Friday that the Europeans won.Rose, Stenson, McIlroy, Pieters and Garcia will be playing all five matches for Europe.---11:55 a.m.With Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth posting birdies on five of the first seven holes for the Americans in the fourth foursome match of the morning, Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello were forced to play catch-up from the second hole on.The highlight for the Spaniard duo came on the fifth hole. Garcias tee shot sailed into the crowd -- and landed square in one of the course marshals pockets.Garcia and his human hazard shared a laugh, and the Europeans still managed to make birdie.But the Reed-Spieth duo, which vanquished the formidable European pairing of Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson with a 3-and-2 victory on Friday, still held a 2-up lead with three holes to go.---11:25 a.m.Rory McIlroy finally got a victory over Phil Mickelson.Mickelson had never lost any of three Ryder Cup matches he played against McIlroy, but Lefty didnt have much of a chance Saturday morning in foursomes. McIlroy and Thomas Pieters won three of the opening five holes. McIlroy said he wanted to win even more because Mickelson had his number.The American got within 1 down with four holes to play until Fowler missed too many key putts.McIlroy says he and Pieters were never meant to play foursomes, never practiced together and even flipped to see who would tee off on which holes. It worked. They are undefeated in two matches.----10:45 a.m.The Americans are leading 2-0 when it comes to shanks.Rickie Fowler was in a back bunker on the par-3 fourth hole when he shanked it through the green and into the rough. Fowler and Phil Mickelson lost that hole with a bogey and fell 2 down to Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters. Europe was 1 up through 13.Brooks Koepka shanked one from the left rough across the 11th fairway. He and Brandt Snedeker were all square with Henrik Stenson and Matt Fitzpatrick.One thing was clear: The foursome sessions were a lot tighter than when the Americans went 4-0 on Friday.---10:35 a.m.Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters are trying to ride their Ryder Cup momentum.McIlroy took a bow when the opening day ended Friday, winning a big point that allowed Europe to crawl back to a 5-3 deficit against the Americans. They went right back out Saturday morning against Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson and have led the entire way. They were 1 up through 12 holes.There probably was not going to be another American sweep in foursomes.Halfway through the sessions, the Americans were up in one match, trailed two others and were tied in the fourth one. Fourballs in the afternoon were to follow, with everything pointing toward Sunday singles to decide the Ryder Cup. Shane Greene Jersey .

NFL Nation reporters assess the biggest injuries across the league for Week 11.AFC East | AFC North| AFC South | AFC West NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC WestAFC EASTBuffalo BillsRex Ryan says the Bills are healthier than theyve been in a while, and hes right. DT Marcell Dareus, however, remains the biggest injury question mark. He was limited in Wednesdays practice because of a groin injury that kept him out of a Nov. 7 loss to Seattle. Signs are pointing to him being available this Sunday in Cincinnati, though. -- Mike RodakMiami DolphinsStarting left tackle Branden Albert is ruled out for Sundays game in Los Angeles because of a wrist injury. Albert dislocated his left wrist and returned to last weeks game with a cast, but Miami figured the long-term risk continuing to play Albert, who is one of the teams most important offensive linemen, was too much this week. -- James WalkerNew England PatriotsTom Brady (right quad) said he should be ready for action, but one thing that bears monitoring is how much he practices this week. Meanwhile, Rob Gronkowski (chest) took a big hit from safety Earl Thomas and said the wind was knocked out of him, but that isnt all, as he is injured and it could affect his status for Sundays game. It doesnt get much bigger than those two players for the Patriots, who also have WR Chris Hogan (back) on the injury report. Gronkowski was the only player not present at Wednesdays practice.?-- Mike ReissNew York JetsThe Jets have a bye week to get healthy. The headline injury is Ryan Fitzpatricks left-knee sprain, which kept him on the bench last week. He looked fine Tuesday in practice, but Fitzpatrick has said there could be stability issues. On Monday, Todd Bowles will announce his QB decision: Fitzpatrick or Bryce Petty.?-- Rich CiminiAFC NORTHBaltimore RavensCornerback Jimmy Smith missed Wednesdays practice because of a back injury, but the Ravens dont seem too concerned. He should be out there Sunday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. Baltimore plays the Cowboys on Sunday and will rely on Smith to match up against Dez Bryant. Overall, it was a good day for the Ravens, who watched four injured players (guard Marshal Yanda, linebackers Elvis Dumervil and Kamalei Correa and cornerback Shareece Wright) return to practice. -- Jamison HensleyCincinnati BengalsRey Maualuga (fibula) appeared at practice for the first time since last week, but he was simply working off to the side. That doesnt change their game plan much, as Maualugas playing time is dependent on the game and has been sporadic. The Bengals also have to make a decision as to whether they want to activate Brandon Thompson, who tore his ACL last season, off the physically unable to perform list. -- Katherine TerrellCleveland BrownsRobert Griffin III was cleared for non-contact work Wednesday, but the Browns did not designate him to return, and he cant practice until they do. The signs all point to Griffin returning -- if he can -- on Dec. 11 against Cincinnati. That would give him two weeks plus a bye to get himself fully healthy. -- Pat McManamonPittsburgh SteelersWith defensive end Cam Heyward out for the season because of a pectoral injury, the Steelers could use former first-round pick Bud Dupree to crack the lineup. Dupree is still on injured reserve because of a groin injury but is practicing with the team. He wants to play this week. Getting his game-ready explosion back is the final step, he says. After the Steelers run-defense issues against Dallas, the group needs support, and a few sacks. -- Jeremy FowlerAFC SOUTHHouston TexansNT Vince Wilfork (groin), WR Will Fuller (leg) and CB A.J. Bouye (ankle) all practiced Wednesday after missing Sundays game against the Jaguars. All three are day-to-day, and because the Texans play Monday night, there was no injury report Wednesday. RB Lamar Miller said his shoulder was feeling a lot better than it did the past two games, but he still has been limited, playing less than he was at the beginning of the season. On Sunday, he had 15 carries for 83 yards. -- Sarah BarshopIndianapolis ColtsThe Colts are dealing with some minor injuries but nothing they didnt expect. In fact theyre on pace to have their entire starting offensive unit for the first time since Week 1 against Tennessee on Sunday. The only lingering question mark is guard Denzelle Good, who missed practice Wednesday because of an illness. Continuity is great, having all the playmakers that you have on the outside, all the skill positions available and healthy certainly doesnt hurt, coach Chuck Pagano said. -- Mike WellsJacksonville JaguarsThe Jaguars are surprisingly healthy considering how late in the season it is. Several players have nagging injuries -- such as RT Jermey Parnell (groin), LT Kelvin Beachum (knee) and WR Marqise Lee (ankle) -- but they are all expected to play against Detroit on Sunday. The Jaguars cant use injuries as an excuse for being 2-7. ?-- Mike DiRoccoTennessee TitansThe Titans remain exceptionally healthy. Only one player is on the injury report so far this week. And Wednesdays off might be the way things go for DeMarco Murray the rest of the way. The Titans havent had their bye yet, and while Mike Mularkey said Monday that Murrays toe was better the day after the game than it was the week before, the team is being cautious with the player who gets the most touches on offense. -- Paul KuharskyAFC WESTDenver BroncosThe Broncos are on their bye and one player who could certainly use that rest is QB Trevor Siemian. Siemian has missed one start, then played with a left shoulder injury he suffered in the teams Week 4 win in Tampa. He was battered last Sunday in the win over New Orleans, having been sacked six times and hit another 11 times in the pocket. He received an injection in his non-throwing shoulder before adjourning for the bye, as the team hoped the injury would settle down a bit during the time off. He was also held out of most of Tuesdays practice to give him a break from throwing. Siemian said, just before the team left for the days off that the rest will be good, but Ill be ready to go when we come back. -- Jeff LegwoldKansas City ChiefsCB Marcus Peters didnt practice Wednesday because of a hip pointer, but the Chiefs dont appear concerned he will miss Sundays game against the Buccaneers. Peters was injured in Sundays win over Carolina. After missing a couple of snaps, Peters not only finished the game but made one of the biggest plays by forcing and recovering a fumble in the final minute to set up the winning field goal. -- Adam TeicherOakland RaidersThe Raiders returned from their bye Wednesday with a light walkthrough given that they are essentially a day behind with a Monday Night Football affair in Mexico City against the Texans up next. As such, there were no updates on the injured duo of DT Stacy McGee, who has missed the past two games because of a hurt ankle, and CB Sean Smith, who sat out Oaklands most recent game because of a shoulder issue. Thursdays practice should tell more of the tale. -- Paul GutierrezSan Diego ChargersThe Chargers could use a boost to the passing game from receiver Travis Benjamin, who has been dealing with a sprained right knee he suffered late in the game against the Raiders in Week 5. Benjamin played only seven snaps two weeks ago against the Titans, and sat out San Diegos loss to the Dolphins last week. The Chargers hope with another seven days rest during the bye week that Benjamin can return to the field for a Week 12 contest against the Texans. -- Eric D. WilliamsNFC EASTDallas CowboysThe Cowboys are at the point in the season when its about maintenance. Tyron Smith has back and hip flexor injuries he is playing through. Doug Free has had leg issues. DeMarcus Lawrence has back and shoulder issues. The Cowboys want to make sure those players are ready for game day, if not a practice. Because they have played a lot of games, the Cowboys are confident they will be able to handle limited practice work and still be able to play effectively. Safety Barry Church has started doing resistance training in his rehab from forearm surgery. -- Todd ArcherNew York GiantsWWR Victor Cruz is trying to make it back after missing Monday nights win over the Bengals because of an ankle injury.ddddddddddddCruz was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, but barring a setback, should be able to play Sunday against the Bears. The Giants missed him against the Bengals as rookie Roger Lewis struggled in his place. Cruz is unlikely to return in a full-time role this weekend, but he would be a welcome addition to the rotation. -- Jordan RaananPhiladelphia EaglesTE Zach Ertz was limited in practice Wednesday because of a hamstring injury. With 14 catches for 152 yards over his past two games, Ertz has been a bigger factor in the offense of late. This is a key injury to watch in front of Sundays game against Seattle. Starting CB Nolan Carroll remains in concussion protocol. Fellow corner Leodis McKelvin says hell play despite a hamstring injury. -- Tim McManusWashington RedskinsWR DeSean Jackson was limited Wednesday because of a rotator cuff injury in his left shoulder. Thats a good sign, but Redskins coach Jay Gruden said they still have no idea if Jackson will be available for Sundays game against Green Bay. Jackson did not play last week but also never attempted to practice. The Redskins want to make sure his range of motion has fully returned and that, because they play again four days later, he wont hurt himself worse. At one point this appeared to be a two-week injury, but there is a level of hope. How much so, though, remains to be seen. -- John KeimNFC NORTHChicago BearsThe Bears finally got some good news, as RB Jordan Howards name did not appear on Wednesdays injury report. Coach John Fox said after Chicagos 36-10 loss to Tampa that Howard suffered either an ankle or Achilles injury. But Howard practiced without restrictions Wednesday, meaning he should start Sunday in New York. NT Eddie Goldman (ankle) and RT Bobby Massie (concussion) were among the players to sit out. Fox hinted Massie could be back soon, but defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Goldman had a setback versus the Bucs. Goldman missed six weeks this year because of a high ankle sprain. -- Jeff DickersonDetroit LionsDeAndre Levy (knee) returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since Week 1, but practicing and playing in a game are two different things. Detroit has typically been conservative when players are coming back from injuries, so his practice level will be monitored throughout the week. This, though, is a good sign the Lions will have their best linebacker -- and their top coverage linebacker -- back for their attempted run at the playoffs. Detroit is pretty healthy overall as the bye gave players time to rest. -- Michael RothsteinGreen Bay PackersClay Matthews has been down this road before: less than two weeks ago, he returned to practice and proclaimed himself ready to play, only to experience a setback with his hamstring injury. The Pro Bowl outside linebacker was back on the practice field Wednesday, but until he makes it through an entire week without a problem, it wont be safe to assume hell return. The concern on the other side of the ball is with the offensive line, where LT David Bakhtiari (knee) and RG T.J. Lang (ankle) couldnt finish last Sundays game. Bakhtiari practiced with a brace on his right knee Wednesday, but Lang was not on the field. -- Rob DemovskyMinnesota VikingsCaptain Munnerlyn (ankle) missed last Sundays game because of an ankle injury, and the Vikings got a reminder of how much they need their nickel cornerback in a loss to the Redskins. Munnerlyn wasnt able to practice Wednesday, and given how many ways the Cardinals can attack Minnesotas defense, the Vikings will hope Munnerlyn is able to return for Sundays game at U.S. Bank Stadium. He did some work in practice last Friday, and was working on the side with members of the Vikings training staff on Wednesday. -- Ben GoesslingNFC SOUTHAtlanta FalconsThe timing for the return of Pro Bowl CB Desmond Trufant remains up in the air as Trufant continues to recover from a shoulder/pectoral injury. Falcons coach Dan Quinn says he firmly expects Trufant back this season despite the alarming pectoral aspect related to the injury. In fact, Quinn is hopeful Trufant will return to practice next week after the bye in preparation for the Falcons next game against Arizona on Nov. 27. If Trufant remains sidelined, second-year player Jalen Collins will continue to receive increased time as the starter. -- Vaughn McClureCarolina PanthersCenter Ryan Kalil is listed as questionable for Thursday nights game against New Orleans, but coach Ron Rivera called it a good questionable. In other words, Kalil will start after missing the past two games because of a shoulder injury. Thats good news for QB Cam Newton, who took two sacks and threw a pick-six on Sunday because of pressure up the middle due to miscommunication. Thats also good for the running game that has struggled without the five-time Pro Bowler. As Newton said, Kalil is his hidden jewel. -- David NewtonNew Orleans SaintsCB Delvin Breaux is questionable after missing practice this week. Its unclear if he suffered a setback after returning two weeks ago from a broken fibula, or if the Saints are just giving him extra rest on a short week. But it would be a big blow if he is out or limited on Thursday night, since hes their best and most physical cornerback -- their best bet to match up against physical Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin. -- Mike TriplettTampa Bay BuccaneersCenter Joe Hawley missed last weeks game because of a knee injury, and his replacement, Evan Smith, could be out multiple weeks because of a Grade 2 MCL sprain. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said Wednesday that he was hopeful Hawley could play. Last week, Ben Gottschalk, who got his first time in an NFL game, had to take over for Smith. Gottschalk hadnt snapped the ball to QB Jameis Winston since training camp last year. Going into such a hostile place like Arrowhead Stadium, where nonverbal communication is imperative for Winston and his offensive line, they really need Hawley back. -- Jenna LaineNFC WESTArizona CardinalsTheres really no way WR Larry Fitzgerald would miss Sundays game in Minnesota despite being sore with ankle and knee injuries. But no one should be surprised if Fitzgerald plays through whatever pain hes in to have a monster game. Thats just how he is. But other question marks will be S Deone Bucannon (ankle) and DT Corey Peters (foot). -- Josh WeinfussLos Angeles RamsDE Robert Quinn admitted himself to a local hospital Monday morning with a non-football-related illness, and though he was back observing practice by Tuesday, Quinns status for Sundays game against the Dolphins remains in question. Quinn is the Rams best edge rusher, a man who can steal some of the attention away from star defensive tackle Aaron Donald. The Rams could also be without their main backup defensive end, Eugene Sims, who is going through the concussion protocol. -- Alden GonzalezSan Francisco 49ersCB Rashard Robinson made significant progress in his return from a sprained knee last week when he returned to practice on a limited basis and was questionable for the game against Arizona. Robinson even went through a light workout before that game. He looks as if hes progressing toward getting back in this week, which would be good for a 49ers secondary that was scorched for 376 yards by Carson Palmer last week, and now faces Tom Brady & Co. this week. -- Nick WagonerSeattle SeahawksRB Thomas Rawls (fibula) is expected to play Sunday for the first time since Week 2. If he makes it through the week, hes going to play considerably because hes in great shape, and hes ready to do that, Pete Carroll said. But were not going to overplay him or try to take it too far too soon. The Seahawks will most likely ease Rawls back in. Expect C.J. Prosise to lead the team in touches against the Eagles, but Rawls should be in the mix. And the coaches are hoping the tandem can lead the run game down the stretch. -- Sheil Kapadia ' ' '
