NFL roundup: Cowboys' Ware out a month

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Ware is expected to miss up to one month with a quadriceps injury suffered Sunday night against the Washington Redskins.

If Ware doesn't suit up Sunday, it would be the first game he has missed in his career, breaking a streak of 134 consecutive starts.

Dallas was already without Pro Bowl left defensive end Anthony Spencer and nose tackle Jay Ratliff. Both are likely out for the season.

The Cowboys play at Philadelphia on Sunday.

ESPN reported that Cobb, who has 29 receptions for 378 yards and two touchdowns this season, will miss two games.

---Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller told the Denver Post he does not have a substance abuse problem as he gets set to report back to the team Monday following his six-game suspension.

Miller said he has a prescription to Adderall for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), explaining that his suspension was not for substance abuse.

"All I can say is Robbie is dying to play. He wants to get out there," Diane Gronkowski told the Boston Herald on Sunday. "He's doing what he has to do to get back playing. He doesn't like it. He wants to play. It really bothers him that he's not playing."
