Freeman, the NFL’s highest-paid running back, looked good as he worked on the side during Friday’s practice. Quinn didn’t want to speculate if Freeman, who’s
been in concussion protocol twice since preseason, will miss additional
time.
”I’m not going to go to that one,” Quinn said. ”`I’m just not going to go ever against whatever they recommend in any way, shape

Moore threw for 282 yards and a score in the second half. He started for an injured Cutler three weeks ago at Baltimore and Miami lost 40-0.

Seattle safety Earl Thomas was also docked $24,309 for his hit on Atlanta’s Levine Toilolo, who caught a touchdown pass to give the Falcons a 31-20 lead in
the third quarter last Monday night. Thomas was penalized for hitting Toilolo in
the helmet with his shoulder in the end zone.
Kansas City linebacker Terrance Smith was fined the same amount for his blindside helmet-to-helmet hit on Giants long snapper Zak DeOssie during a punt

straight sets.

point. The Frenchman then claimed five consecutive games and served out the
second set at love with a drop shot that hit the net cord and dribbled over for
a winner.
Tsonga continued to play consistent and occasionally brilliant tennis in the third, including a series of reflex volleys.
