LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Bears rookie Leonard Floyd suffered a concussion but otherwise avoided serious injury when the crown of Floyds helmet led into teammate Akiem Hicks leg and compressed at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.[Hes] much better, Bears coach John Fox said. I mean obviously it was a scary situation. I think anytime you see any kind of a head or neck injury, its concerning. He was able to make it back on the team charter. It was a lot of hard work by a lot of people to make that happen. Right now I think the real serious injuries are not there. I think hes got some neck soreness. Hes in the concussion protocol. The real serious stuff is behind him.Floyd was taken off the field on a backboard and a cart with a neck injury in the Bears 22-16 loss to the New York Giants. Floyd was rushed to a hospital for observation, as is standard NFL protocol, but later accompanied the Bears back to Chicago on the team charter Sunday night.We were just very, very happy and relieved it wasnt anything career-threatening or very serious, Fox said. Were happy about that.Floyd, the ninth overall pick of the 2016 NFL draft, is second on the Bears with five sacks.Fox also confirmed that Pro Bowl right guard Kyle Long is scheduled to undergo ankle surgery next Monday and will have a shoulder procedure to repair his torn left labrum down the road.Custom Patrick Ewing Jersey .

That 21-17 loss -- in which Vanderbilt made two goal-line defensive stands and scored a trick-play touchdown -- was one of six defeats in seven contests down the stretch that cost Kentucky a chance to become bowl eligible.Wildcats coach Mark Stoops acknowledged Monday that the defeat would bother him for the rest of his life but quickly added that this is a new season. Getting halfway toward a postseason berth could help lessen some bad memories.That game last year really hurt the team a lot, Kentucky defensive end/linebacker Denzil Ware said. We really want this win.Meanwhile, Vanderbilt seeks its first SEC win.The Commodores had their chances last week against then-No. 23 Florida, outgaining the Gators 265-236. But two turnovers and two sacks culminated in a 13-6 loss, their latest in a recent string of close defeats against Florida.Narrow losses have been the story for Vandy in SEC play this season, a trend the Commodores hope to end against Kentucky and provide their first league road win since 2013.It just lets us know that were there, Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said of his team, which has lost by nine combined points. This team hasnt been jaded at all. ... I believe that this group fully expects to play well this weekend.---Other things to watch as Vanderbilt and Kentucky look to get into the win column:DEFENSIVE PROGRESS: Despite yielding 488 yards in last weeks 34-6 loss at No. 1 Alabama, Kentucky took heart in holding the Crimson Tide to a season-low in points (a fumble was returned for one score) and keeping an opponent below 500 yards for a second straight gamme.dddddddddddd. Though the Wildcats still rank last in the SEC at 468 yards allowed per game, defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot saw hope in making the nations top team work harder than expected. The more pressure situations you can put them in, the better theyll perform, he said.RUNNING BACK MATCHUP: The game pits two of the SECs top-five rushers in Vanderbilt junior Ralph Webb -- whose 582 yards lead the conference -- and Kentuckys Stanley Boom Williams (486). Both backs broke 100 yards last year in Nashville and figure to play key roles again on Saturday. Webb rushed for 110 yards against Florida, while Williams seeks to rebound from running nine times for just 22 yards at Alabama.BALL PROTECTION: Kentuckys minus-7 turnover margin ranks last in the SEC and last weeks loss typified the Wildcats struggles. Quarterback Stephen Johnson fumbled three times while being sacked and lost two of them, with Alabama returning one 55 yards for a touchdown. Stoops believes that Johnson will bounce back and put ball-security issues behind him, which is necessary against a Vandy squad thats plus-3 with six fumble recoveries.VISORED UP: Vanderbilt quarterback Kyle Shurmur will wear a shield on his helmet after being poked in the right eye in last weeks loss to Florida. Shurmur, whose eye remained red Tuesday, tried to argue his way back onto the field against the Gators. Shurmur has thrown for 696 yards with three TDs and three interceptions this season. His sight is good, just for protective purposes were putting a shield on him just so it doesnt happen again, Mason said.---AP College Football: collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Gary B.
