No discipline for Hardy after shoving coach
Dallas coach Jason Garrett said defensive end Greg Hardy won’t be disciplined for a sideline tirade that included a physical confrontation with special teams coach Rich Bisaccia after New York’s decisive kickoff return for a touchdown.
Garrett said Monday the heated exchange that also involved Dez Bryant and other players was “not a big deal from anybody inside our football team and inside this building.”
Hardy, in his second game after a four-game suspension for his role in a domestic violence case, barged into the special teams huddle after Dwayne Harris’ 100-yard kickoff return for the winning points in the fourth quarter of the Giants’ 27-20 victory.
The Cowboys (2-4) face Seattle on Sunday with their first four-game losing streak under Garrett.
Dorsett fractures leg: Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Monday that rookie receiver Phillip Dorsett will four to six weeks with a fractured lower left leg.
Dorsett, Indy’s first-round draft pick, was injured midway through the second quarter of Sunday’s game against New Orleans when he was hit low by one defender and then was awkwardly bent backward by another.
Dorsett said he felt the bone crack before he went down. He limped straight to the locker room, did not return and was on crutches, wearing a boot over his left foot after the game.
He has 11 catches for 167 yards and one TD this season.
Dorsett, who initially said it was an ankle injury, remains hopeful of a return later this season.
Texans’ Foster out for season: Texans running back Arian Foster is out for the season with an Achilles tendon injury.
Coach Bill O’Brien said he expects Foster to miss the rest of the season but didn’t elaborate on the injury to Foster’s right leg.
Foster was injured without being hit late in the Texans 44-26 loss to Miami Sunday. He was in motion when he fell to the ground at the beginning of a play.
The injury is a significant blow to a team that has struggled on offense and is just 2-5 after its second blowout loss of year.
Foster missed the first three games of the season after tearing his groin muscle in training camp.
