NFL: Browns return to Quinn

Mangini said it wasn't all Anderson's fault, but there was no way the Browns could continue in reverse.

Quinn was benched by Mangini just 21/2 games and 69 pass attempts into the season.

The Browns also signed free-agent linebacker Josh Stamer.

Chargers. Running back LaDainian Tomlinson and tight end Antonio Gates were among six San Diego players missing practice because of injuries.

Tomlinson has a bruised hip and Gates has a sore foot. Coach Norv Turner said he expects both Pro Bowlers to be back at practice today as the Chargers prepare for Sunday's game against the visiting Eagles.

Also missing practice were defensive end Travis Johnson (groin), defensive tackle Ogemdi Nwagbuo (ankle), outside linebacker Shaun Phillips (ankle), and outside linebacker Jyles Tucker (ankle).

Bengals. Receiver Chad Ochocinco tweeted this week that he was going to send mustard to the Pittsburgh Steelers before their game Sunday at Heinz Field, a way of whipping up interest in the AFC North showdown.

On Wednesday, the receiver backed down. Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said no mustard will be headed up the Ohio River.

"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to send anything this week, thanks to Marvin Lewis," Ochocinco said. "That's the way to spoil the fun, boss man. I guess I have to talk trash to motivate myself this week."

One of Ochocinco's most publicized stunts was in 2004, when he sent Pepto-Bismol to some of the Cleveland defensive backs before a game, warning them they would need the stomach medicine when they got done trying to cover him. Lewis didn't like it. The Browns won, 34-17.

Bills. Quarterback Trent Edwards will start against Tennessee on Sunday after missing two games with a concussion.

Buffalo (3-5) has struggled under backup Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Bills opened the season 1-4 under Edwards before he suffered his second concussion in a little more than a year in a 16-13 overtime win at the New York Jets.

Edwards may be without top receiver Terrell Owens, who missed practice because of a strained hip.

Meanwhile, wide receiver James Hardy was added to the team's active roster after spending the first nine weeks of the season on the reserve/physically-unable-to-perform list.

Hardy has been out since tearing a ligament in his left knee last December. To make room on their roster, the Bills waived third-string running back Xavier Omon.

Redskins. Still feeling the effects of a concussion, running back Clinton Portis probably will miss Sunday's game against the visiting Denver Broncos.

"I don't want to rule him out, but it's very doubtful," Washington coach Jim Zorn said.

Strong safety Chris Horton had toe surgery and was put on injured reserve. Horton also was hurt against Atlanta.

Washington filled Horton's roster spot by re-signing running back Quinton Ganther, who was released last week.

Broncos. Denver signed cornerback Rashod Moulton to its practice squad. He takes the spot that opened when the New York Giants signed cornerback D.J. Johnson to their active roster from Denver's practice squad yesterday.

Moulton was on the Broncos' practice squad for the last half of last season. He was waived Sept. 4.

Chiefs. Right guard Mike Goff was placed on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury.

Goff, a 12-year veteran, had started seven games for the Chiefs (1-7) before going down. He will probably be replaced by Andy Alleman, a three-year veteran who was acquired in a trade in August from Miami.

The Chiefs also signed linebacker Justin Rogers. He appeared in 31 games the last two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.

Titans. The Tennessee Titans have run several tests on receiver Justin Gage as a result of the fall he took after making a leaping catch during a 34-27 victory over San Francisco on Sunday.

He hopes to play Sunday when the Titans host the Bills.

Panthers. Running back DeAngelo Williams missed practice because of a sore knee.

Coach John Fox said Williams tweaked it and will be evaluated. Williams rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to New Orleans.

Fellow running back Jonathan Stewart also sat out, but has routinely missed Wednesday workouts to rest his sore Achilles' tendon.

Defensive end Julius Peppers was limited by what Fox called a "messed up" right hand. Tight end Dante Rosario (knee) was also limited.

Fullback Brad Hoover remained sidelined with a sprained ankle, but backup Tony Fiammetta returned after missing a game with a concussion.

Receiver Muhsin Muhammad practiced after missing two games with a knee injury.

Buccaneers. Former Eagles linebacker Matt McCoy was re-signed, and cornerback Derrick Roberson was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.

The team also said reserve safety Will Allen and backup linebacker Rod Wilson will miss the remainder of the season after being placed on injured reserve.

Safety Emanuel Cook was signed to the practice squad.
