After being moved to defensive end, benched in the AFC title game, and struggling for sacks, he returned to linebacker this season and has four sacks in the first four games plus two fumbles forced and multiple pressures, earning Pro Bowl consideration as coach Marty Schottenheimer lauds his renewed form.

Money issues at forefront of sports shutdowns
A congressional committee approved a bill to end baseballs antitrust exemption in a landmark move. Rep. Mike Synar said the exemption is on its deathbed, while the baseball union viewed it as momentum toward ending owners monopoly. Key figures include Donald Fehr, Orel Hershiser, Jeff Bagwell, and party leaders like Howard Metzenbaum and Connie Mack.
