- FROM WIRE REPORTS

•Miami running back and former OU standout Damien Williams was carted off the field in the third quarter with a shoulder injury following an 11-yard run against New England.

•Paxton Lynch had a rough first start of the season for the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Lynch completed 9 of 14 passes for 41 yards and an intercepti­on against Oakland before leaving the game in the third quarter after injuring his ankle on a rollout. He had missed much of the season with a sprained shoulder.

•Oakland receiver Amari Cooper left with a concussion in the first half after being hurt on an illegal hit by Denver safety Darian Stewart. Cooper was down on the turf for several minutes before leaving. Stewart was penalized on the play.

•San Francisco starting quarterbac­k C.J. Beathard went down on a hit by Seattle’s Michael Bennett as he threw a pass late in the fourth quarter.

•Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen left with a foot injury in the second half against the New York Jets and didn’t return. Olsen had missed the previous eight games with a broken foot, but returned. He had one catch for 10 yards before leaving.

“I felt fine,” Olsen said. “It just got a little sore. It flared up. I went back out and played a little bit, but we just thought it would be best to live to play another day.”

•The Buccaneers sustained some huge blows against the Falcons, losing running back Doug Martin (concussion), safety T.J. Ward (concussion), safety Josh Robinson (hamstring) and defensive tackle Clinton McDonald (back).
