Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis is very optimistic about wide receiver A.J. Green (groin) playing in Week 4 against the Falcons.

New Orleans Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson (ankle) will need surgery to fix torn ligaments in his ankle.

Chris Devenski To Serve As Opener Wednesday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Chris Devenski will start what will be a bullpen game against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
