PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team that has become accustomed to dealing with injuries through the first five weeks of the season.And the list keeps growing.Defensive end Cameron Heyward was the latest starter affected after he left Sundays 31-13 victory against the New York Jets in the second quarter with a hamstring injury.The Steelers defense didnt miss a beat in the second half despite the loss of the defensive captain.We know Cam is one of the leaders on our defense, defensive end Stephon Tuitt said. The next guy stepped up and stepped up big.Tuitt led the defensive line with Heyward sidelined as Pittsburgh shut out the Jets in the second half. The Steelers limited New York to five first downs and just 100 yards over the final two quarters while harassing quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick with an effective pass rush.They may have to do it again Sunday at Miami (1-4) with Heywards consecutive games-played and started streaks in jeopardy.Since entering the NFL as the Steelers first-round pick in 2011, Heyward has played in 85 consecutive regular-season games, third-longest active among NFL defensive ends. He also started 49 straight, which is fifth-best among defensive ends.Heyward didnt speak with reporters on Monday, but he didnt sound optimistic about his availability following Sundays game. He underwent a MRI and said he felt soreness, but didnt know if there was a `pop in his hamstring.It definitely wasnt precautionary, Heyward said Sunday. If I could be out there I would. Other guys have to step up. Were going to need them all as long as Im out.Rookie Javon Hargrave and veteran Ricardo Mathews shared snaps at defensive end with Heyward out. Hargrave, who also played defensive tackle on Sunday, would like to see Heyward on the field, but hes comfortable with the additional workload.It was pretty good to see my role increase, Hargrave said. If he cant go, well have to step up as a defensive line. Hes our leader, but at the same time, we have guys that can fill that role.The Steelers at least have a little bit of practice subbing for Heyward. He sustained a high ankle sprain during the Steelers third preseason game and missed practice time, but worked his way back in time for the teams regular-season opener at Washington.Heyward led the way again two weeks ago as the Steelers defensive end -- frustrated after a lopsided rout at Philadelphia -- had a career-best three sacks and tipped a pass that led to a timely interception during a blowout win against Kansas City.He goes hard every time, Hargrave said. When you see somebody dominating, you want to be dominant too.Heyward expects Tuitt to fill that role if he cant play.He better be ready, Heyward said. I dont know how long Ill be out, but hes got to step up. Hes telling me hes talking a lot more and we need him to do that. When I come back, we can do that twice as much. Hes only going to grow in this situation.Game notesSteelers LB Ryan Shazier missed the previous two weeks with a knee injury, but said Monday that it feels better and he hopes to return soon. ... Safety Robert Golden, also out the previous two weeks with a hamstring injury, said he couldve played Sunday, but he was held out as a precaution. ...

PETERSBURG, Fla. Kirk Gibson Youth Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. http://www.ladodgersprostore.us/Russell-Martin-dodgers-jersey/ . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft.

Bjorn, who had a 36-hole total of 8-under 134, made a testing six-foot putt to save par on the 16th and a birdie on the 17th before bogeying the final hole after a misjudged approach shot. American Kevin Streelman was in second place after shooting a 69.SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Tim Tebow hit a ball through the left side of the infield, looped another to the same area. He fouled off a pitch and sent a grounder the other way.Then it came. Swinging inside-out, Tebow lined a hard shot toward the line in left field.Atta boy, one of his new teammates shouted from behind the batting cage.Tebows journey from star quarterback to budding baseball player made its latest stop in the desert Monday night, when he worked out for two hours with the Arizona Fall Leagues Scottsdale Scorpions.Playing baseball under the lights for the first time in more than a decade, Tebow took some fly balls in the outfield and went through five rounds of batting practice. He hit some good, some not-so-good -- but hes still early in this transformation from football to baseball.It was good getting in here, meeting everybody, getting a feel for it, swing the bat a little, Tebow said. I know its going to be a process.Tebow was one of the best quarterbacks in college football at Florida, winning a pair of national championships and the 2007 Heisman Trophy. He played three seasons with the Denver Broncos and New York Jets before his NFL career petered out.Tebow moved on to become an analyst for the SEC Network and announced last month that he would pursue a professional baseball career. Though he had not played competitive baseball since his senior year in high school, the New York Mets took a chance on Tebow, signing him to a minor league contract and hoping his exceptional athletic ability would translate to the baseball diamond.The 29-year-old Tebow hit a home run on the first pitch he saw in the Florida instructional league and went 4 for 14 in three games before the league was cut short due to Hurricane Matthew..ddddddddddddhe move to the Arizona Fall League will be a big step up in competition.The league is filled with promising minor leaguers who are there to get more seasoning, a stopping point for former No. 1 draft picks Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper. Michael Jordan also appeared in the AFL when he made his brief foray into baseball in 1994, and this years league includes Boston Red Sox infielder Yoan Moncada, rated the top overall prospect in baseball.Theres a lot of great players out here, so for me its about working hard and trying to improve, get better and remember its a process, Tebow said. But also to enjoy it. Its fun to come out and play baseball every day.Tebow arrived in Arizona on Sunday and had about a dozen fans waiting outside Scottsdale Stadium for him Monday night. After stretching and throwing with the Scorpions -- a collection of players from various big league teams -- he took some grounders and fly balls in the outfield, fluidly moving to cut off the balls hit at him.In the batting cage, the left-handed Tebow needed a bit of time to warm up, hitting everything to the left side early in the session before pulling a few shots to the right side.Next up: His first game, Tuesday in Glendale.Scorpions manager Tom Goodwin wants Tebow to play as much as physically possible so he can find his rhythm in the field and at the plate. He will play for the Scorpions during the week and continue to work for the SEC Network on the weekends.Tebow will play left field and bat seventh in Tuesdays game.Hes going to have to get ready for baseball activity, said Goodwin, the Mets first base coach.
