 There are several steps ahead in the NFL's review of facts and
court documents before Peterson's fate is determined.
- -
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith will miss the rest of the
season after undergoing foot surgery, the team announced.
Initially it was believed Smith's injury would sideline him for only
a few weeks, but additional tests revealed that Smith needed
surgery.
- -
Quarterback Tony Romo practiced Thursday in London with the Dallas
Cowboys, his first workout since injuring his back Oct. 27.
The Cowboys lost Romo against the Washington Redskins and enter
Sunday's game against Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium with a
two-game losing streak.
- -
 Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard was ruled out for
Thursday's game by head coach Marvin Lewis with hip and clavicle
injuries.
Bernard's absence against the Cleveland Browns pushes rookie Jeremy
Hill into the featured back role.
- -
Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his wife Janay
testified on the second and final day of an appeals hearing before
an arbitrator.
Rice is challenging the NFL's authority to change his original
two-game suspension to indefinite after video was released by TMZ
showing him knocking out his wife in a hotel elevator earlier this
year.
- -
Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly denied a report that the Eagles
are beginning to lose faith in quarterback Nick Foles, who will be
sidelined six to eight weeks with a clavicle injury.
"I don't know where that stuff comes from," Kelly said Thursday,
according to PhillyMag.com. "I've got great faith in Nick, and I
think he's a hell of a quarterback, and I think sometimes he gets
banged too much, but I wish there was more people like Nick Foles in
our lives."

Houston Texans outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney disclosed that he
missed Sunday's loss to Philadelphia because of soreness in his knee
as well as illness.
Clowney continues to have soreness in his knee that was surgically
repaired after the first game of the season. He feels pain when he
moves laterally. It could keep him out of the next game at Cleveland
on Nov. 16 and be a hindrance all season.

Three teams are scheduled to make repeat appearances in London in

Week 7; the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs will play there
Nov. 1 in Week 8; and the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets will play
in London on Oct. 4, in Week 4.
