NFL ROUNDUP \ News and notes

Redskins: Jason Campbell’s stumble left him with a sore groin but the quarterback isn’t expected to miss any practice time. “He got treatment today, and I think he’ll be ready to practice Wednesday,” coach Jim Zorn said. Campbell was hurt Sunday when he stepped awkwardly while throwing a pass in the first quarter of a 14-11 victory over the Cleveland Browns. He didn’t miss a play, but the injury appeared to affect his performance. Campbell finished 14-for-23 for 164 yards and one touchdown. He remains the only starting quarterback without an interception this season. Zorn said Clinton Portis required treatment on a shin, an ankle and the neck as well as the sore hip flexor that caused the league’s leading rusher to miss two practices last week. Portis might have to miss more practice time in order to play in next week’s game against Detroit. “He’s carrying a big load, so he may need a little bit of a rest,” Zorn said. “I’m willing to give it to him, that’s for sure.” Cornerback Shawn Springs appears likely to miss at least one more game with a calf injury, while defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin might need a game off to deal with a nagging shoulder injury. Cornerback Fred Smoot is still nursing a sore groin and might have to miss some practice this week.

Bills: Reserve linebacker John DiGiorgio could miss the rest of the season with a right knee injury. Coach Dick Jauron said DiGiorgio was having further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Jauron previously said he wasn’t optimistic about the player’s status. A special teams standout and versatile reserve who can play all three linebacker positions, DiGiorgio was hurt blocking on a punt return in the second quarter of a 23-14 win over San Diego on Sunday. He was carted off the field and left the locker room on crutches after the game, unable to put any weight on his right leg.

Colts: Tony Dungy exudes consistency. It’s why the Colts’ stoic coach is so frustrated now. One week, Indianapolis plays like a Super Bowl contender, the next, it reverts to its sputtering, mistake-prone ways, making Dungy weary of the inconsistencies that have suddenly jeopardized Indy’s five-year reign atop the AFC South. “We’ve been up and down, done some good things but not consistent enough,” Dungy said. “The penalties, obviously, were a big part of it, some little errors that that you can’t afford to make against a good football team that’s playing well ...”

Ravens: Three-time All-Pro cornerback Chris McAlister did not start Sunday and was used in only a handful of plays in a win over Miami. Although McAlister had seven tackles one week earlier in a 31-3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, he appeared to be beaten twice by Marvin Harrison for touchdowns. So, with Samari Rolle out with a neck injury, the Ravens’ starting cornerbacks against Miami were Fabian Washington and Frank Walker — even though McAlister leads the team with three interceptions.
