Mike Ditka has a message for the NFL and congressional leaders: more action not studies.
The Hall of Famer spoke on the eve of a congressional hearing on head injuries among NFL players.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and union executive director DeMaurice Smith are to testify today before the House Judiciary Committee along with former players and medical experts.
Ditka hopes they can reach a conclusion so ailing retired players can get the help they need.
Eagles: Running back Brian Westbrook (concussion) might not be back as the Eagles enter the grueling part of their schedule. Up next, Sunday's game against the Giants. Then another home game against the Cowboys. The outcomes could shake up the NFC playoff picture. Coach Andy Reid said Tuesday that Westbrook has not been ruled out for Sunday.
CHIEFS: Running back Larry Johnson apologized Tuesday and was told to stay away from the team while the NFL and Kansas City complete their investigation into his use of a gay slur.
DOLPHINS: Linebacker William Kershaw (Maryland) signed with Miami.
49ERS: San Francisco lost former Ravens offensive tackle Tony Pashos for the season with a broken left shoulder blade.
REDSKINS: Washington said two-time Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley will have surgery today on his broken ankle. If the procedure goes well, Cooley might not be placed on injured reserve.
TITANS: Owner Bud Adams informed coach Jeff Fisher he wants quarterback Vince Young to start over Kerry Collins this weekend against Jacksonville.
