CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson has a broken right leg and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, according to coach Frank Reich.Thompson underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix a fractured fibula he sustained in the first quarter of Carolina’s 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. He has been placed on injured reserve.Reich said it’s hard to put into words how much Thompson brings to the team, calling him a team player and “a warrior, a guy who knows how to practice.” Thompson has four 100-tackle seasons in nine years with the Panthers and is considered the team’s emotional leader on defense.Reich would not say who’ll replace Thompson in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game at Seattle.The news is a blow for the Panthers’ defense, which lost starting cornerback Jaycee Horn to a hamstring injury last week. Horn is expected to miss at least six weeks.“These injuries hurt, but the train has got to keep going,” Reich s...

DENVER (AP) — Jerry Rosburg isn't walking through that door to save the Denver Broncos head coach from himself like he did a year ago.When the Broncos jumped out to a 21-3 lead against Washington on Sunday, it seemed the safest of bets that coach Sean Payton would improve to 73-0, including playoffs, when his teams held a lead of 18 points or more.Russell Wilson's teams in Seattle had never blown that big of a lead.Denver's defense had sacked Sam Howell three times, rookie speedsters Marvin Mims Jr. and Jaleel McLaughlin had scored their first NFL touchdowns and second-year speedster Brandon Johnson had caught Wilson's third TD throw. Can the Broncos bounce back after 2 consecutive losses? When the Commanders went three-and-out on their next drive, Mims returned the punt 45 yards to the Washington 40-yard line with 7:57 left before halftime.The rout was on.After burning his final timeout with 6:46 left in the first half, however, Wilson coughed up the ball at midfield and the Comm...
