PHILADELPHIA - Eagles right guard Shawn Andrews, the 16th overall pick in this year's draft, broke a bone in his right leg during Sunday's 31-17 win over the New York Giants and will miss the rest of the season.
Andrews, who started at right guard, was injured on a routine block on a running play late in the second quarter. He stayed on his back, grimacing in pain before he was helped onto a cart and taken to the locker room. Tests revealed a broken fibula that requires season-ending surgery, coach Andy Reid said.
"He's a guy who was working extremely hard and doing a great job," Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb said. "It being his first regular-season game, that's tough to go out like that."
Third-year lineman Artis Hicks replaced Andrews after the injury and will start, Reid said.
BENGALS: Cornerback Deltha O'Neal was inactive for the loss against the Jets with an ankle injury. O'Neal was hurt in the preseason opener last month and was limited in practice last week. He was acquired in April in a draft-day trade with the Broncos to help the Bengals upgrade an area that caused them serious problems last year. Rookie Madieu Williams out of Maryland started in his place. ... Strong safety Rogers Beckett left in the first quarter with a concussion.
BILLS: Buffalo reached an injury settlement with Travis Brown that makes the quarterback a free agent. Financial terms were not disclosed. The Bills can't re-sign him until after the 10th week of the season. Brown was placed on injured reserve Setp. 5 after spraining his left knee in the Bills' third preseason game against Indianapolis.
BROWNS: Running back Lee Suggs was inactive for the win against Baltimore because of a neck stinger. Suggs, the club's leading rusher during the preseason, got hurt during practice two weeks ago and the Browns decided not to risk making it worse against one of the league's best defenses.
CHIEFS: Cornerback William Bartee had to be carted off the field with a sprained neck late in the first quarter when the side of his head hit Denver's Rod Smith on the hip during a punt. Bartee came at Smith from an awkward angle and his head snapped sideways as Smith ran by. Bartee lay on the field for about 10 minutes while Kansas City's trainers stabilized his neck, then was strapped to a stretcher and taken off.
DOLPHINS: Quarterback A.J. Feeley will remain in the Miami lineup - at least for now. Feeley played well enough coming off the bench in the team's season-opening loss to earn a start this weekend at Cincinnati, coach Dave Wannstedt said. That means a demotion for Jay Fiedler after four seasons as the starter.
49ERS: Cornerback Mike Rumph left with a groin injury in the first half and is doubtful for Sunday.
RAIDERS: Running back Amos Zereoue, who beat out Jerome Bettis to start the Steelers' 2003 opener, was among the eight Raiders scratches. He signed with Oakland after being cut by Pittsburgh.
RAMS: Linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa played most of the game against Arizona after dislocating his right shoulder early in the second quarter, but coach Mike Martz said he could miss a few weeks. The team also lost rookie defensive end Anthony Hargrove with a mild concussion and backup LB Trev Faulk with torn a hamstring.
RAVENS: All-Pro tackle Jonathan Ogden was inactive for the loss to Cleveland because of a sprained knee. Ogden injured his left medial collateral ligament in the Ravens' final preseason game.
STEELERS: Inside linebacker Kendrell Bell missed Sunday's game with groin and shoulder injuries. He missed the Steelers' final three preseason games with a sore shoulder then injured his groin in practice last week.
VIKINGS: Cornerback Ken Irvin ruptured his right Achilles' tendon during warmups and probably will need season-ending surgery. Irvin, who was taken off the field on a cart, was supposed to start at right cornerback in place of Brian Williams. Williams is recovering from the left knee he sprained in the preseason opener. But Williams wound up starting, with Antoine Winfield playing left cornerback.
