Witten on field for start of practice

IRVING, Texas (AP) Cowboys tight end Jason Witten was on the field for the start of practice Wednesday, a potentially good sign he'll be able to play Thursday against Oakland despite a sprained left foot.

Big Ben has concussion, expected to play

PITTSBURGH (AP) Ben Roethlisberger's fourth concussion since 2006 apparently won't put him on the bench.

Giants' Jacobs fine, Bradshaw uncertain

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) The New York Giants' backfield is banged up.
