PHILADELPHIA -- The New York Jets might not have a tough quarterback decision after all.Bryce Petty injured his throwing shoulder Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles and will have an MRI exam Friday to determine if theres any structural damage. He was hurt in the first quarter after throwing a 44-yard touchdown pass and didnt return to the game. The Jets lost 14-6 at Lincoln Financial Field.Petty said an X-ray on the shoulder was negative.His injury probably saves the Jets from having to dump one of their four quarterbacks. The injury solidifies Geno Smiths position as the No. 2 quarterback, behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. Rookie Christian Hackenberg, a second-round pick, is a virtual lock to make the 53-man roster.Injured reserve becomes an option for Petty, depending on the severity of his injury. Short-term IR could be a possibility, and, because of a new rule, the team doesnt have to immediately declare that designation.Coach Todd Bowles said he had no information on Pettys injury, saying only that its sore.Petty wore a heavy wrap on his shoulder, and his right arm was in a sling as he spoke to reporters. He declined to speculate on the nature of the injury, saying only that he has never hurt his shoulder before.With Fitzpatrick and Smith getting the night off, the game was billed as an audition for Petty, who made his first NFL start. Before the game, team officials said they were open to carrying four quarterbacks, which would be highly unusual, but they wanted to see more of Petty.Petty lasted only three series, completing 4 of 6 passes for 87 yards. On the touchdown, defensive end Bryan Braman delivered a borderline late hit. He drilled Pettys left shoulder a split-second after his long pass to Robby Anderson, driving him into the ground on his right shoulder.Once the touchdown wore off, it started hurting a little bit, Petty said.Petty was taken to the locker room, where he remained for the rest of the game.I wanted to prove a lot, and that part kind of got cut short, Petty said. Hopefully, Ive done enough in the preseason. Well see what happens.I definitely want to be here. I feel like Im growing every time I get in there and progressing.Bob Lilly Cowboys Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

They represented USA really, really well, U.S. womens coach Richie Walker said of his squad. We played the No. 1 and No. 2 nations in the world today but I saw no fear. We hung with the best in the world. We drew with the No. 1 and we just lost by five points to the No. 2.The Americans lost 12-7 to Fiji in their opening game Saturday, adding to the pressure on them in the last Pool A match to beat Australia on Sunday. Winger Jessica Jevelet scored two tries to give the Americans a 12-5 lead going into the last minute, but Emma Tonegato reached over to score her second try of the match for the Aussies and Chloe Dalton converted after the full-time siren for a draw.Jevelet was again in the thick of it against New Zealand. The Americans had a scoring opportunity shut down with three minutes to go when Jevelet was tackled late as she attempted to chase a kick into the in-goal that could have leveled the game. Tylia Nathan-Wong was yellow carded and sent from the field, but the New Zealanders survived unscathed.The U.S. and New Zealand squads played practicce matches against each other in Florida leading up to the Olympics, and the Americans obviously picked up some intel.ddddddddddddThey didnt play us this hard in Florida. It was a nice surprise, and hard, Woodman said. We made it hard for ourselves, not playing to our strengths, getting a bit too ahead of ourselves, and wanting to score on the first phase when we needed to play three or four.But were in medal contention, so (were) excited.The Americans will have to settle for playing in classification matches for fifth-eighth places along with the other quarterfinal losers.It probably hurts right now because theyre out of medal contention, but still we have something to fight for, Walker said. We want to finish No. 5.Thats the best day rugby-wise, not results-wise, that Ive ever seen from the girls. So Im really proud.Australia coach Tim Walsh said the Americans gave his team the kick up the pants that we needed going into the quarterfinals, where Charlotte Caslick scored twice and Tonegato added another to each increase their tournament tallies to six, equal with Woodman.The top three teams from the sevens world series appeared more vulnerable on Sunday than Britain, a team containing 11 members of the England team which placed fourth in the world series. The British won all three group games comfortably, including a 24-0 victory over Canada, and outscored Fiji four tries to one.The Canadians entered as the likely bronze medalists, but now face Australia in the semifinals -- which doesnt entirely bother them. Canada beat the Australians to win the last stop on the world series last season and nudge ahead of England for third place.The Olympics are a whole new thing for us and were still kind of getting used to that, Canada back Bianca Farella said. I think its an unconscious thing but tomorrow we start fresh. ' ' '
