...but it was back to Johnson at game time...

According to a press release by the Cincinnati Bengals, the NFL informed Ocho Cinco earlier Sunday that he will have to wear his original name on the back of his jersey. Ocho Cinco stepped on the field Sunday with the nameplate "C. Johnson."

..."certain issues remain [with the NFL] to be resolved before Ocho Cinco will be permitted to wear his new surname on his jersey.'"

...NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said, "He has a financial obligation to Reebok, which produces the jerseys available to fans. That has to be resolved before the on-field jersey can be changed.

"The same obligation exists for any player that changes his number or name."

Any news on Brady's knee? That thing look destroyed.

Take this for what it's worth:

Will Carroll has crafted a niche for him as an expert in sports injuries over the years, particularly baseball and football. A regular contributor to FootballOutsiders.com, Carroll saw Tom Brady go down this afternoon, and based on what he saw on the replays, theorized that Brady could be looking at an injury to his posterior cruciate ligament.

Carroll stressed that he's only going on what he saw on TV and that his opinion is not a diagnosis. We will further caution: this is just one man's educated opinion. But his thoughts are interesting nonetheless.

"The way he got hit, it looks like a PCL," Carroll wrote in an e-mail. "His foot was down and his leg went backwards.  It's the usual mechanism. I still haven't seen a really good angle to be sure, but I didn't see any twisting."

Carroll said if it's the PCL, there aren't really any comparables for a quarterback trying to play through a tear.  He noted that the injury sidelined both Reggie Bush and Roy Williams at the end of last year, but added that it's the same ligament Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman tore and is trying to play through as we speak.

"Really can't say on how long he's out until we know more," Carroll wrote.

Michael Turner is inflicting major damage on the Lions defense.

In the Bills-Seahawks game, Ryan Denney just received a 19-yard TD pass from Brian Moorman. That's a DE and a punter.
