Jan 10 (The Sports Xchange) -
The Oakland Raiders are parting ways with offensive coordinator Bill
Musgrave despite having the sixth-ranked offense in the NFL this
season.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles wrote on his personal
website that he is uncertain about his future after undergoing
surgery on both knees in November.
"I honestly don't know what the future holds for me," the
30-year-old Charles said Tuesday. "What I do know is that I still
want to play football. I was only 29 years old this season. My goal
right now is to just focus on the now and my rehab and let the rest
sort itself out later."

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin pointed the finger at himself
for the play call that resulted in quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
injuring his right foot late in Sunday's victory over the Miami
Dolphins.
Pittsburgh led 30-12 with 4:34 remaining in the AFC wild-card game
when Roethlisberger was attempting to pass and had Dolphins
defensive end Cameron Wake fall on his foot.

"I got a little over-aggressive there," Tomlin told reporters. "It
goes beyond taking the responsibility. I made the call. So don't ask
(offensive coordinator) Todd (Haley) about it on Thursday. I made
the call and I take responsibility for it."

The Chicago Bears signed veteran wide receiver Rueben Randle to a
reserve/futures contract Tuesday.
Randle struggled in his brief stint with the Philadelphia Eagles
this past summer and was a casualty of the last round of cuts in the
preseason. The 25-year-old spent his previous four seasons with the
New York Giants, reeling in 57 receptions for 797 yards and a
career-best eight touchdowns in 2015. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
