Henry faces one year ban after failing drug test
Denver Broncos tailback Travis Henry could be suspended by the NFL for one year after reportedly violating the league's substance abuse policy for the third time.

Henry maintains he is innocent in the case, explaining that his expert was not allowed to be present during the testing of one of his urine samples.

According to sources close to the Broncos, Henry wants to take a lie detector test and submit a hair sample to prove the test was in fact a false positive.

Graham, Sapp fined by league for illegal contact
Chicago Bears defensive back Corey Graham was fined $7,500 by the NFL for an illegal "horse-collar" tackle, and Oakland defensive tackle Warren Sapp was fined $5,000 for a low hit on Miami quarterback Trent Green last week.

Graham pulled Detroit Lions wide receiver Troy Walters down by the back of the shoulder pads during a punt return in Detroit's 37-27 win Sept. 30, drawing a 15-yard penalty.

After reviewing tape of the game between the Oakland Raiders and Miami Dolphins, league officials determined Sapp's hit on Green was below the knees, which is not allowed based upon the rules of contact on a quarterback in the pocket.

Bills wideout Price potentially done for season
Buffalo Bills receiver Peerless Price's season might be over after scheduling to have surgery done on a damaged disc in his neck.

Price's neck problem developed over a nine-year NFL career with the Bills, the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons.

Price's injury will result in the Bills relying on more on the receiver tandem of Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed.

Price started the first four games of this year, making seven catches for 68 yards.
