COLUMBUS, Ohio - A county coroner says a special examination will look for signs of traumatic brain injury in an Ohio State athlete found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Robinson Chirinos Jersey .Dr. Anahi (AN-ih-hee) Ortiz of Franklin County says the examination by an Ohio State neuropathologist is being done because Kosta Karageorge (KOH-stah KAHR-ah-jorj) had a reported history of multiple concussions.Ortiz said Monday that an autopsy determined the 22-year-old Karageorge died of a gunshot wound, but she hasnt yet definitively ruled it a suicide.Columbus police said Sunday that Karageorge died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.His mother, Susan Karageorge, told police in a missing-persons report that her son had had several concussions.Karageorge was a wrestler for three years and joined the football team as a walk-on this season.

Jackson was taken aback when informed the Bills are in jeopardy of setting a franchise-low over a 16-game season heading into their final game at New England (12-3) on Sunday.Well, then lets make sure that doesnt happen, Jackson said.Its a number that provides added incentive in a game Buffalo (8-7) has very little to play for after being eliminated from playoff contention following a 26-24 loss at Oakland last week.Thats not something you want on your resume, he said.The teams once-formidable ground attack has been slowed to a crawl.With 1,378 yards rushing, the Bills are 174 yards short of matching the teams 16-game low of 1,552 yards in 2006. That wont be easy for an offence that hasnt topped 120 yards rushing since gaining 193 in its season-opener at Chicago.This years production is a significant drop-off for a Jackson- and C.J. Spiller-led backfield that finished second in the NFL last season with 2,307 yards rushing — the teams best output since 1992. Then there was two years ago, when Spiller had a career-best 1,244 yards and finished second in the NFL by averaging a more than 6 yards per carry.I dont have the answer as to what and why we havent been able to run the ball the way that we are accustomed to, Jackson said. Were sitting here frustrated because we havent lived up to what we thought we were capable of doing.The Bills ground game has been so bad that the team has not had an individual player reach 100 yards rushing so far this year. The Bills have gone an entire season without a 100-yard rusher only three times, the last in 1979. Jake Marisnick Jersey. And, Buffalo is coming off a game in which it managed 13 yards rushing — the fourth lowest total in team history.Injuries have been an issue. Jackson missed two games with a groin injury and has also been bothered by a sore knee. Spiller broke his collarbone and missed seven games before returning last week.Centre Eric Wood said the offensive line hasnt done its part either.Really no excuses other than a lack of execution, Wood said. And a lot of that falls on us up front.Coach Doug Marrone is particularly disappointed by the play of his line. He is considering spending the off-season starting from scratch and retraining the unit.Buffalos running game could be in store for an off-season upheaval.Though Jackson has one more year left on his contract, Spillers future is uncertain. The Bills 2010 first-round draft pick is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent if he declines to pick up the option on the final year of his contract.Only time will tell, Spiller said, when asked if hes made a decision. I aint really focusing on that. Im just focusing on the Patriots.Its unclear what Spillers value might be in free agency because of the time he missed this season.Spiller discounted that as being a factor, saying he established his value in the previous four years.NOTES: DT Marcell Dareus missed practice because of a right knee injury and its uncertain whether he will play Sunday. ... CB Stephon Gilmores status is also uncertain because he is being monitored for a concussion. ... The Bills are off Thursday before returning to practice Friday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
