O Brother, where art thou?

Running back Justice Hill couldn’t persuade his younger brother, Dax, to commit to OSU but the siblings of other Cowboys have picked the Pokes.

- FROM WIRE REPORTS

Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams has been suspended three games for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, a ban he will serve while on injured reserve because of lingering issues from offseason surgery for a broken right foot.

The league said Thursday the suspension will be in effect Sunday when the Cowboys visit Washington. After Dallas' open week and a home game against Tennessee, the final game of the ban will be Nov. 11 at Philadelph­ia.

But Williams will miss at least three more games after that while on injured reserve. His first possible game is Dec. 9 at home against the Eagles.

Williams was arrested in May on a charge of public intoxicati­on in the Dallas suburb of Frisco, where team headquarte­rs is located. The case was dismissed after Williams completed a state-mandated alcohol awareness education course.

Jets' coach returns from undisclose­d illness

New York Jets defensive coordinato­r Kacy Rodgers says he is feeling better following a "procedure" to help deal with an unspecifie­d illness.

Rodgers returned to work this week on a full-time basis after missing the team's past two games. He and coach Todd Bowles will determine over the next few days whether Rodgers will call the defensive plays against Minnesota on Sunday.

Rodgers declined Thursday to provide details about the exact nature of his illness, saying he preferred to keep it private.

Bowles announced on Oct. 5 that Rodgers was dealing with a "serious" illness after visiting the doctor the previous day.

Raiders fined $20,000 for inaccurate injury report

The Oakland Raiders have been fined $20,000 for not downgradin­g guard Kelechi Osemele to out for a

Week 5 game.

A person with knowledge of the fine told The Associated Press on Thursday that the team violated the league's injury report policy by not moving Osemele from questionab­le to out. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the NFL has not announced the fine.

The Raiders lost to the Chargers in the road game, 26-10.

Osemele has been bothered by a knee injury and also did not play in Oakland's game at London on Sunday, a loss to Seattle.
