Tedy Bruschi is retiring after a 13-year career marked by an inspiring return to the New England Patriots as a starting linebacker eight months after a stroke.
Bruschi, 36, announced his retirement at a news conference Monday morning. “I’m 36 years old,” Bruschi said at a news conference. “Your body doesn’t heal as quickly.”


Bruschi played on all three Super Bowl-winning Patriots teams. The last championship game was on Feb. 6, 2005, against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ten days later he was hospitalized after experiencing numbness in his left arm and left leg and blurry vision and was diagnosed with a mild stroke.
“I was retired,” he said. “I didn’t think it was possible” to play again.
Bruschi’s performance declined last year and he was playing with the second unit on defense this summer. He missed much of training camp with an undisclosed injury but played in two of the team’s last three exhibition games.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens took one step closer in recovering from a sprained toe after working out and catching passes in individuals drills during practice Thursday. Bills coach Dick Jauron was encouraged by Owens’ progress and said it’s “possible” that the wide receiver will be cleared to start fully practicing next week.


“He looked good to me,” Jauron said, according to the Bills’ Web site. “We’ll have to see how he tolerates it. As we’ve said through the whole process, we move forward and see how he feels and how he does. And he was really pushing to get on the field.

“Watching him, it looked like he moved well. That was a good sign. Now we’ll just see how he feels.”

It was the third straight day that Owens worked out and marked the most time he had practiced since jamming his foot during the Aug. 9 Hall of Fame Game against the Tennessee Titans.

Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel will miss at least a week with an injured left elbow.


The team’s top pass rusher did not practice Monday in Buffalo’s first session since a 31-21 loss at Green Bay on Saturday. Without divulging the nature of the injury, coach Dick Jauron said it’s not considered a “long, long-term” problem, but could keep Schobel out for a week or so.

Syracuse is going all in on the Greg Paulus experiment. Orange head coach Doug Marrone officially named the former Duke basketball player as his starting quarterback on Monday night, even though Paulus has not played football in four years and has never played a collegiate snap.

Paulus, a high school football star who played point guard for the Blue Devils for four years, transferred to Syracuse as a graduate student this spring. Despite having just a week of official practice under his belt, Paulus beat out sophomore Ryan Nassib — who was named the No. 1 quarterback in the spring — and senior Cam Dantley, who was last year’s starter. His first college football game will be Sept. 5 against Minnesota in the Carrier Dome.

The Red Sox could be without slugger Jason Bay for at least the start of their four-game showdown against the Yankees, which opens Thursday night in the Bronx.

Bay exited Wednesday’s 6-4 loss to the Rays in the eighth inning, when he aggravated his right hamstring running out a grounder to short.

“I re-aggravated the tweak running down to first in the eighth inning there,” said Bay. “It doesn’t feel real bad but it’s definitely going to be a couple of days.”

Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch had his appeal of a three-game suspension levied back in April upheld by the NFL on Monday. Commissioner Roger Goodell, who confirmed the suspension being upheld through a league spokesperson, dealt Lynch the ban without pay for violating the league’s personal conduct policy stemming from a weapons charge on February 11.

Lynch was arrested in California on weapons charges and in March pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of carrying a gun in his vehicle. Two other charges were dropped and Lynch was sentenced to three years’ probation along with 80 hours of community service. It was the second incident involving Lynch and the law in less than a year, as he was behind the wheel of a vehicle that struck a woman in downtown Buffalo last May 31 in a hit-and-run case. The suspension lasts from September 5-28 and will cover the first three games of Buffalo’s 2009 regular season — including at New England, the home opener versus Tampa Bay and a home date with New Orleans.
