KANSAS CITY, Mo. Femme Adidas Springblade Razor Baskets et chaussures blanc-Metallic argenté-Mid grise . -- One day after saying quarterback Alex Smith was pulled from a game because of a suspected concussion, the Kansas City Chiefs indicated on Monday that they dont believe he did suffer any head trauma.Thats what an unaffiliated [neurological consultant] believes, thats what [team doctor Mike] Monaco believes, thats what I believe now, trainer Rick Burkholder said Monday. Hes been absolutely asymptomatic.Burkholder said the Chiefs had determined during the second half of their 30-14 win over the Indianapolis Colts that Smith wouldnt return to the game, but only because he was being tested for a concussion.The message relayed to the media covering the game in Indianapolis at the time was that Smith wouldnt return because he had indeed suffered a concussion.He was in the middle of the concussion protocol, but we werent going to return him in the same game, Burkholder said.Burkholder said the Chiefs will move cautiously with Smith, even though they suspect he doesnt have a concussion. Smith will be examined by an independent neurologist in Kansas City, but he could be on the field with the Chiefs on Wednesday when they begin their practice week and could play Sunday when the Chiefs face the Jacksonville Jaguars at Arrowhead Stadium.We will go through the return-to-play protocol and see where hes at, Burkholder said. Although we dont think he has a concussion, were going to be cautious and were going to take him through all those steps before we put him back on the field just to be sure were not missing anything.Smith was taken from the game twice when the Chiefs suspected he might have a concussion, once in the first quarter and once in the third. He didnt return to the game after the second incident.Smith was given a brief test for a concussion along the sideline each time. Burkholder said Smith twice passed those exams, which includes testing for memory, balance and other concussion symptoms.Smith was still sent to the locker room for more evaluation. Burkholder said that was in part because Smith staggered and appeared woozy after each of the plays in question.Were not absolutely sure why he had those events, and certainly the independent [neurologist] could shed some light on that for us, Burkholder said. Were still in that process, and we also want to see whether exercise takes him back into a situation where he gets a little staggered.Smith has a laceration on his right ear from the first hit that knocked him out of the game, and Burkholder said that could be affecting Smiths balance.

That gave fans outside Joe Louis Arena another chance to ask for autographs from the 19-year-old whose stardom in the NHL has arrived earlier than most expected. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- It was only one play in a game unfolding as a track meet, and it changed the game entirely.Jordan Whitehead, deep in coverage as Virginia was trying to push the issue and sneak in more points before halftime, stepped in front of Kurt Benkerts pass at the Panthers 41 and never stopped running until Pittsburgh took a 35-28 lead over Virginia into halftime.It was gigantic. It was gigantic, Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi said after the Panthers won 45-31 Saturday. Weve been waiting for one of those picks in that coverage and we finally got one. ... Tremendous football play by him and then he finds a way to get it in the end zone.The play capped a wild half that saw the teams combine for three touchdowns in one span of 63 seconds on a 44-yard scoring run by Virginias Taquan Mizzell, a 93-yard kickoff return by Quadree Henderson and Benkerts 74-yard strike to Olamide Zaccheaus.But it left Cavaliers offensive coordinator Robert Anae accepting the blame for getting greedy in the final 33 seconds of the half.The drive began with 12-yard run by Mizzell to move the ball to the Cavaliers 44. After a spike to stop the clock, Virginia had a receiver wide open on the next play, but Benkert was scrambling, so Anae called the exact same play, hoping the same opportunity would develop.It completely backfired on us, Anae said. That was my fault all the way. I blew the call and put our quarterback in a bad situation.James Conner ran for 90 yards and two touchdowns and Pittsburgh shut Virginia down in the second half.The Panthers (5-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) held the Cavaliers without a completion in a scoreless third quarter, outgaining them 80-15, and limited them to 108 yards and a 36-yard field goal by Sam Hayward with 2:04 remaining. It was Haywards first career 3-pointer.Virginia (2-4, 1-1) had its two-game winning streak end.Nathan Peterman threw ttwo touchdown passes for Panthers, the last on a shovel pass to George Aston making it 42-28 with 9:47 left. Nike Air Max 2015 Unisex Noir. THE TAKEAWAYPittsburgh: The Panthers have scored at least 36 points in six consecutive games, a program record, so offense isnt a problem. Their run defense is statistically solid, but might be artificially so because its pass defense is spotty. Kurt Benkert thrived in the first half, when Pitt had no sacks, but the Cavaliers quarterback seemed rattled after the Panthers sacked him three times in four plays early after halftime.Virginia: The Cavaliers have the capacity to play well for long stretches, but adversity still presents them with challenges that coach Bronco Mendenhall attributes to a history of more failure than success. The adversity against Pitt came in two stages -- Whiteheads interception return touchdown, and when the Panthers came out firing on defense and applied pressure Benkert hadnt seen before halftime.TWO-WAY GUYS:Whitehead isnt Pittsburghs only two-way player anymore.The safety, who also carried the ball three times for 28 yards, was joined in that versatility by Conner, who took a few snaps at defensive end.Weve been kind of working that in and as you guys know, he was recruited as a defensive lineman, Narduzzi said. ... James is a super football player. I was happy he got a hurry on the quarterback and well have a little bit more of that.UP NEXT:Pittsburgh: The Panthers have a bye next weekend, and will then play Virginia Tech at Heinz Field on Thursday night, Oct. 27.Virginia: The Cavaliers continue their three-game homestand by taking on longtime rival North Carolina.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
