CINCINNATI - Terence Newman was on the sideline with an injured ankle. Adam Pacman Jones joined him with a bruised chest. Two of the Bengals top three cornerbacks were out of the game, leaving it up to those young, first-round picks to show what theyve got.They played up to their draft status.Dre Kirkpatrick and Darqueze Dennard helped Cincinnati limit the Steelers to a field goal following a first-and-goal opportunity on Sunday. Newman and Jones returned in the second half, and Pittsburgh pulled away to a 42-21 win.It was a preview of what lies ahead for Cincinnati (8-4-1). The Bengals head to Cleveland (7-6) for a game on Sunday to face Johnny Manziel with their secondary still hurting.Jones missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday with a bruised chest. Newman was limited by a sprained ankle. Kirkpatrick also was limited by sore ribs.The AFC North leaders might have to lean a little more heavily on Kirkpatrick, a first-round pick in 2012, and Dennard, their top pick this year, down the stretch.Like Ive said, we probably need to get them more time in there, defensive co-ordinator Paul Guenther said. They did a good job. Theyve been practicing good and they understand the plan.The long-term plan is to develop both of them with Newman (36 years old), Jones (31) and Leon Hall (30) still playing well.You want everybody to get their fair shot, Kirkpatrick said. Weve just got to stand in the wings and be ready.Both first-round picks got on the field during Pittsburghs final drive of the first half. Ben Roethlisberger got to a first-and-goal from the 4, then threw three incompletions that forced a field goal.That was huge, Hall said. When they were in there — not that it was strange — but there wasnt any panic in any of the other defenders, including myself and them, too. So its really not surprising, but its comforting.Kirkpatrick and Dennard saw Newman and Jones leave the field with injuries and realized it was going to be up to them. Theyve played primarily on special teams and with the defence during blowouts.Me and him kind of talked about it on the sideline, Kirkpatrick said. We saw something going on with both corners. I told him weve got to go out there and have a lot of energy.It felt great being out there getting a little taste, but I want more. Those (veteran) guys earned the right to be where they are. Weve got to continue to be patient and study and learn what we can from those guys.The only way theyll get on the field the rest of this season is if one of the veterans gets hurt. All three have played well enough to keep their jobs.Our corners have played pretty good this year, for the most part, Guenther said. So I dont have a complaint on them. They didnt play real good (against Pittsburgh). None of them played really good. Was it an off day? Maybe.But I dont think theyve done anything in their play to merit getting pulled out of there. So its not so much the (young) guys fault. Its the guys in front of them are playing pretty good.Notes: Kicker Mike Nugent was excused from a second consecutive practice following the death of his father. ...

Adrian Sanchez Jersey . -- The taxing preseason, which included two games in China, is finally over.Indianapolis, IN - Georgia running back Todd Gurley will miss two more games as part of his penalty for accepting money for signing autographs and will be eligible to return Nov. 15. The NCAA announced its ruling Wednesday, saying Gurley accepted more than $3,000 in cash from individuals for autographed memorabilia over a two-year period. Gurley, who acknowledged his violation of NCAA rules, will sit out a total of four games -- or 30 percent of the season -- and must repay a portion of the money received to a charity of his choice. He also must complete 40 hours of community service. The junior has already missed games against Missouri and Arkansas, and will sit out Saturdays game against Florida as well as next weeks contest at Kentucky. His return will take place against Auburn in Georgias final SEC game of the season. Georgia, which leads the SEC East, will then play non-conference home games against Charleston Southern and Georgia Tech before a possible date in the SEC Championship Game.dddddddddddd Gurley was a top Heisman Trophy candidate after five games this season, rushing for 773 yards with an average of 8.2 yards per carry and eight touchdowns. He also returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and has 11 catches for 53 yards. Nick Chubb has filled in admirably during Gurleys absence. The freshman ran for 143 yards in a 34-0 win at Missouri, then churned out 202 yards in a 45-32 victory over Arkansas. Georgia began its case for reinstatement last week and will appeal the latest ruling, hoping for a reduced penalty. An oversight committee will review the appeal this week. The NCAA said a stronger penalty was considered because the violations occurred over multiple years and Gurley committed the infractions despite extensive rules education. However, the schools due diligence and Gurleys full disclosure were factors in the NCAAs decision. ' ' '
