LT sits out practice with sore toe
SAN DIEGO — LaDainian Tomlinson missed his second straight day of practice because of a jammed right big toe as the San Diego Chargers prepare for Monday night's home game against the New York Jets.
Coach Norv Turner doesn't know if Tomlinson will practice on Friday.
"He'll come out like he did today, move around a little bit, get treatment, do exercises inside, and I'm sure if he feels like he can go,
he will," Turner said.
Tomlinson hurt the toe on the Chargers'
last drive of a 26-24 home loss to Carolina on opening day. He said he aggravated it during a 39-38 loss at Denver on Sunday, when he was held to 26 yards on 10 carries.
Steelers
PITTSBURGH — A billionaire businessman is withdrawing his offer to buy a majority stake of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Stanley Druckenmiller issued a statement Thursday night saying it has become clear to him that the Rooney family, which owns the Steelers, needs more time to consider its options about the future ownership of the Pittsburgh Steeler organization.
The Rooney family approached Druckenmiller seven months ago about buying their shares to help resolve estate planning and NFL ownership matters. At least three of the five Rooney brothers, sons of team founder Art Rooney Sr., want to sell their equal shares.
Lions
BOULDER, Colo. — Detroit Lions linebacker Jordon Dizon has been sentenced to 24 hours of community service for driving while ability impaired.
His lawyer, Peter Schaffer, pleaded guilty to the charge on Dizon's behalf Thursday in Boulder. Dizon, a former Colorado star who didn't attend the hearing, also must pay $895 in fines and court costs. He will be allowed to complete his sentence out of state.
Dizon originally faced charges of driving under the influence, driving the wrong way on a one-way street and failing to provide proof of insurance after his arrest April 20. A police report said his blood-alcohol level was 0.097, above the legal limit of 0.08.
