CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Buccaneers two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy has left the game against Carolina in the first quarter with a knee injury and his return is doubtful.McCoy seemed to get caught up in a pile of players in the middle of the line and he remained on the field for several minutes. A cart was brought to take him off the field, but McCoy refused to get on and instead hobbled to the sideline.Tampa Bay started the game without three starters on defence, so the injury to McCoy doesnt help matters. McCoy has been replaced by DaQuan Bowers.The Bucs were leading 7-3 at the time of the injury.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Evan Longoria Jersey .

The defending Canadian champion defeated Stefanie Lawton of Saskatoon 6-5 in the final game of the seven-game round robin to finish 4-3, but Winnipegs Chelsea Carey and Ontarios Sherry Middaugh also sported the same mark. Homan got bumped to the semi, though, because her Ottawa rink fared better than Carey and Middaughs teams on rankings based on draws to the button before games throughout the week. "It wasnt important," Homan said of avoiding a tie-breaker. "Its nice to be able to get second place and go into the semi. Either way we had a chance and thats all we needed." Carey and Middaugh will play their tie-breaker Friday at 1:30 p.m. (CT), with the winner taking on Homan later that night at 6:30. Homan, 24, had no preference on which team theyd prefer taking on. "Weve played them both a million times and its going to be a good game either way and hopefully we can win it in 10 (ends)," Homan said. Winnipeg veteran skip Jennifer Jones already earned a bye into Saturday nights final (6:30 p.m. CT) and will watch her competitors battle it out. Jones, 39, defeated Edmontons Heather Nedohin 6-5 to finish her round robin at 66-1, while Nedohin ended with a 3-4 mark.dddddddddddd Homan almost had to play in a tie-breaker, but Edmontons Val Sweeting lost 9-8 in an extra end to Renee Sonnenberg of Grande Prairie, Alta., and fell to 3-4. Sonnenberg finished 1-6. Carey had a chance to grab second place outright, but she lost 7-6 to Middaugh. "If theyd told us at the start of the week wed have a tie-breaker, wed take it," Carey, 29, said. Yet she knows her rink will have to curl better to earn a chance to play in an all-Winnipeg final, with the victor representing Canada at next years Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. "We just didnt make enough shots (to win)," Carey said. "I missed a couple bad shots. We just have to make more shots. You just cant be that sloppy against these teams and expect to win." Middaugh, whos competing in her fourth trials, was leading 5-3 after six ends and stole another point in the seventh. Carey rebounded with a nose hit for three in the eighth to tie it 6-6, but Middaugh added one in the 10th for the victory. Middaugh, 47, also saw room for improvement after the win. "The first seven ends were fun and then I turned off my brain in my last shot in eight and then the collar got a little tight after that so I cant lie," Middaugh said. ' ' '
