New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Miami Dolphins safety Louis Delmas and Kansas City Chiefs returner Knile Davis were selected as the AFCs top players for Week 8 of the NFL season. Roethlisberger was named the top offensive player after setting franchise records with 522 passing yards and six touchdowns during the Steelers 51-34 win over Indianapolis. He connected on 40-of-49 passes to become the first player in league history to complete more than 80 percent of his throws in a 500-yard effort. Its the 10th weekly award for Roethlisberger, who tied for the fourth-most passing yards in a single game and is now the only player with two 500-yard games. Delmas picked up the defensive award thanks to an 81-yard interception return for a touchdown and a fumble recovery in Miamis 27-13 win over Jacksonville. He is the first NFL player to recover a fumble and return a pick for a score in the same game since Dallas Roy Williams in 2002. Davis earned the special teams honor with a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Kansas Citys 34-7 win over St. Louis. His return opened the second half and provided the Chiefs with a 17-7 lead. He also ran for 49 yards with a fourth-quarter touchdown. Other offensive candidates included New England quarterback Tom Brady, who would have won the award most weeks after completing 30-of-35 passes for 354 yards with five touchdowns in a 51-23 win over Chicago; Houston running back Arian Foster, who scored three touchdowns and rushed for 151 yards on just 20 carries in a 30-16 win over Tennessee; and Denver receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who caught nine passes for 120 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-21 win over San Diego. Defensive consideration went to Buffalo linebacker Preston Brown, who had nine tackles and an interception in a 43-23 win over the New York Jets; and Miami cornerback Brent Grimes, who also returned an interception for a touchdown. Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon was also nominated for the special teams award after a blocking a field goal in the win over the Jaguars. Brandon Graham Eagles Jersey .

Rex Ryan said it appeared to be just a bruise at first, but team doctors determined it was more serious as the pain increase throughout the day.Our trainers were here and their biggest fear with any kind of bruise or something like that is that something like this could happen, Ryan said. Theyre very observant, and he had treatment after and it never got better.Neither Ryan nor the Jets could immediately confirm the exact nature of the injury, but the symptoms appeared similar to compartment syndrome, which usually results from bleeding or swelling after an injury and causes high pressure in the injured area and impedes blood flow. Emergency surgery is sometimes required to relieve the pressure and prevent permanent injury.I was shocked by it, too, Ryan said. Apparently the pressure, it just kept getting worse and worse and worse.Miles was expected to play Sunday against the New England Patriots after being promoted Tuesday when the Jets waived cornerback Josh Thomas. He was in the locker room Thursday after practice with his lower right leg wrapped, but it didnt appear to be a serious injury. It was considered so minor, in fact, that Miles didnt even appear on the teams injury report.But Ryan said he was updated by the team doctors, who told him that Miles needed immediate surgery, around 8 p.m. Thursday. A few hours later, Miles wrote on his Facebook page that he would miss the rest of the season because of the injury and that surgery went well.The 26-year-old Miles spent most of last season on the Jets practice squad aftter being signed as an undrafted free agent out of California (Pa.dddddddddddd) He played in one game last season, and was re-signed to the practice squad two days after being cut following training camp in August.Ryan was not certain if Miles would indeed miss the season finale at Miami next Sunday.We were really excited to watch him play, Ryan said. Then this unfortunately happens.In other injuries, wide receiver Percy Harvin is probable after being limited at practice with a sprained ankle suffered at Minnesota two weeks ago. Ryan revealed earlier in the week that Harvin played through a third-degree sprain — meaning the ligament is completely torn — in the Jets win at Tennessee last Sunday.Special teams coach Thomas McGaughey said Harvins injury was so painful, he needed to be carried by a teammate — right tackle Breno Giacomini — up the stairs to the plane to Tennessee. He ended up with no catches, but had a 10-yard run and he returned a kickoff 33 yards.Its feeling a whole lot better, Harvin said. I was able to get a lot more treatment, so compared to last week around this time, its a night-and-day difference. I think Ill be able to be a little more effective than I was last week, especially coming out of my breaks.Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson is questionable with turf toe, an injury that has sidelined him the last three games. He has been fitted for a couple of custom-made shoes to try to help relieve the pain since the injury against the Buffalo Bills at Detroits Ford Field on Nov. 24.It still hurts, he said. I mean, its getting a little better each and every day, but its still bothering me on the field.Wide receiver-special teamer Saalim Hakim (quadriceps) and safety Jaiquawn Jarrett (shoulder) are both listed as questionable, but Ryan seemed optimistic about their chances of playing against the Patriots.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL China Jerseys ' ' '
