 "I believe that 100 percent of our guys do things the right way
about 98 percent of the time," Garrett said Friday at his news
conference.
"It's a great teaching opportunity for us as coaches and a great
learning opportunity for Dez and our whole football team and that's
what we've tried to do, is use it as an opportunity to get better."
Bryant left the locker room Thursday during the open media access
session after a prolonged rant aimed at reporters.

The Pittsburgh Steelers listed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as
questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Roethlisberger sprained his left foot in last Sunday's game against

Pittsburgh has been preparing Landry Jones to be the starting
quarterback most of the week.

The Vikings listed him as a full practice participant on Friday and
coach Mike Zimmer is confident Bridgewater will be cleared to start.

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was added to the injury

Seahawks with 376 rushing yards, one more than Lynch.

performances, also is questionable with a groin injury.

Johnny Manziel took the majority of reps in Friday's practice, but
Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine won't name the starting
quarterback for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers
because of strategic reasons.
Quarterback Josh McCown is listed as questionable after being
limited in practice Friday as he recovers from rib injuries. Pettine
said earlier in the week that McCown would start if healthy.
Manziel started for an injured McCown last week in a 31-10 Thursday
night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns is dealing with a foot
injury and was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the

Jets and missed two days of practice this week. He participated in a
walkthrough on Friday.
Hurns has caught a touchdown pass in a franchise-record six
consecutive games. The second-year pro has 36 receptions for 635
yards and six touchdowns this season.

with a road game against the Houston Texans.

Houston Texans outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who returned to
practice this week, is dealing with a lower back injury again.
Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said Friday it is unlikely Clowney
will play Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"He's dealing with a back issue and it's painful, so we've got to
give it a little more time," O'Brien said of Clowney. (Editing by
