PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a chance to play Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, even as a backup quarterback.Coach Mike Tomlin was asked Tuesday whether Roethlisberger -- who underwent torn left meniscus surgery Oct. 17 -- could dress but not start in Week 9.All the cards are on the table, said Tomlin about Roethlisberger and all his injured players.In Week 10 last season against the Cleveland Browns, Roethlisberger was the backup to Landry Jones while nursing a foot injury but threw for 379 yards in relief to guide a 30-9 Steelers win.Jones might make his second consecutive start after throwing for 281 yards in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. The Steelers and Ravens are both coming off bye weeks.The Steelers are looking to get several key players back, including right tackle Marcus Gilbert (foot, ankle), defensive end Cameron Heyward (hamstring), running back DeAngelo Williams (knee) and safety Shamarko Thomas (groin). Those players have a chance for Sunday, depending on their reaction to work in practice and the quality of that work.Roethlisberger ran some first-team reps in Mondays practice, which Gilbert considers very encouraging for a potential return, though adding the Steelers want Big Ben at full strength without risking long-term health.ESPNs Chris Mortensen reported Roethlisberger could be out up to four to six weeks with his injury. The Steelers have remained hopeful Roethlisberger could return for the game against the Ravens, who have defeated the Steelers in five of the last six matchups.I thought it was generally positive, said Tomlin about Roethlisbergers practice work Monday. We hadnt spent a lot of time analyzing it. Its just been giving him the work and him taking the work and hes done a really good job with it.Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that his team expects Roethlisberger to play Sunday.Well prepare as if hes going to play, Harbaugh said Monday. Well operate under that assumption.Since Roethlisberger entered the league in 2004, the Ravens are 6-1 against the Steelers in the regular season when Roethlisberger doesnt play and 8-9 when he does.ESPNs Jamison Hensley contributed to this report.

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.

Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Site Air Max Pas Cher Fiable . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring. SAN FRANCISCO -- Sure is hard to send these San Francisco Giants home in October.Joe Panik doubled off the right-center wall in the 13th inning to drive in Brandon Crawford, and the Giants outlasted the Chicago Cubs 6-5 on Monday night in Game 3 to extend their NL Division Series.Boosted by Conor Gillaspies go-ahead triple in the eighth off Aroldis Chapman, the Giants rallied from a three-run deficit and won their 10th straight game when facing postseason elimination.San Francisco overcame Kris Bryants two-run homer off closer Sergio Romo that tied it 5-all in the ninth, and an early three-run shot by pitcher Jake Arrieta against Giants ace Madison Bumgarner.Just because were down, were not out. If were breathing, were still fighting, Panik said.The wild-card Giants forced Game 4 at their raucous ballpark, postponing a potential Cubs clinch party in the visitors clubhouse.Chicago leads the best-of-five playoff 2-1 and will send John Lackey to the mound Tuesday night opposite lefty Matt Moore.We played it hard, we played it right -- and they beat us, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.Teammates piled on Panik in celebration after he came through on the 57th pitch from Mike Montgomery, beginning his fifth inning of relief. Crawford hit a leadoff double on an 0-2 curve, bringing Panik to the plate.His big hit ended a 5-hour, 4-minute game that was only 29 minutes shy of the total time it took to play the first two series games combined last week at Wrigley Field.Somehow we always just find a way with our backs up against the wall, Panik said. Its always somebody.Gillaspie hit a two-run triple in the eighth and Crawford added an RBI single to give the Giants a 5-3 lead.Rookie left-hander Ty Blach earned the win, escaping a 13th-inning jam when pinch-hitter David Ross bounced into a double play.Theres a sense of calmness, Panik said. Its like weve been there before.Bryants tying drive hit the top of the left-field fence and bounced into the seats, silencing the orange towel-swirling sellout crowd. The slugger received a warm hug of congratulations in the dugout from Chapman, who had just given up the lead.On a night when the early focus was the marquee pitching matchup between Bumgarner and Arrieta, the bullpens decided this one hours later.Arrietas three-run drive in the second held up most of the way.The game had everything -- pitching, timely hitting on both sides. It was just a fun game to be involved with, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.Arrietas shot ended Bumgarners postseason scoreless streak at 24 innings. The left-hander had also thrown 24 straight shutout innings wiith the Giants facing postseason elimination, a separate string that was snapped as well.ddddddddddddBuster Posey hit an RBI single for the Giants in the third, and Brandon Belt had a sacrifice fly in the fifth.Chapman relieved with two on in the eighth, trying for the second six-out save of his career, and Gillaspie tripled to deep right-center to put San Francisco ahead 4-3.Starting at third base for a banged-up Eduardo Nunez, Gillaspie also hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning for all the runs in Bumgarners wild-card win over the Mets last Wednesday in New York.In the bottom of the ninth, Albert Almora Jr. made a diving catch in deep right field on Poseys sinking liner and doubled up Belt at first base for an inning-ending double play that kept the Cubs in it.The Giants won the World Series in 2010, `12 and `14, and still believe they can get by Chicago and do it again given their remarkable track record with the season at stake.In 2012 against the Reds, San Francisco became the first team to come back from an 0-2 deficit and win a best-of-five series with three straight road victories. After that, the Giants came back from 3-1 down to beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Championship Series.I just think its part of our DNA, Belt said. We never think were out of it.CHAPMAN GIVES IT UPChapman entered in the eighth and struck out Hunter Pence with five consecutive pitches clocked at 101 or 102 mph. That brought up Gillaspie, who grounded out his first three times up. He fouled off the first offering before driving the ball beyond a diving Almora in right-center.Gillaspie has knocked in five of San Franciscos 11 runs this postseason.Give Gillaspie credit, Maddon said. He did it a couple days ago. He got an elevated fastball and hit it to the far part of the ballpark. I think it surprised a lot of people.It was the 10th extra-base hit Chapman has allowed to a left-handed batter in his career -- and the first triple.PAGAN SCRATCHEDThe only Giants player with strong numbers against Arrieta was a late scratch. Left fielder Angel Pagan got pulled from the lineup about an hour before the first pitch because of back spasms. Pagan had a .455 average (5 for 11) against Arrieta with a double and two strikeouts. Gregor Blanco replaced him.UP NEXTLackey will try to pitch the Cubs into their second straight NLCS, while Moore looks to build on his success down the stretch after the Giants acquired him at the Aug. 1 trade deadline from Tampa Bay.
