SIDELINED

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Perry left the game with a leg injury that turned out to be a broken bone.

New England Patriots linebacker Junior Seau left the game against the Chicago Bears with an injury to his right arm, but what it is — and how long it might keep him out — is anybody's guess.

The Patriots also lost offensive lineman Ryan O'Callaghan to a neck injury in the second quarter, and he was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Chicago Bears linebacker Leon Joe left the game early in the first with a hamstring injury.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark limped off the field and went straight to the locker room after spraining his right knee just before halftime. Clark did not return.

Knee injuries also sidelined Ravens linebacker Dan Cody and Steelers safety Troy Polamalu in Baltimore's 27-0 rout of Pittsburgh.

Amos Marsh had a 101-yard kickoff return and Mike Gaechter had a 100-yard interception return for Dallas, both in the fourth quarter of a 41-19 win against the Eagles.
