ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills coach Rex Ryan challenged the NFL to consider ejecting players for blindside hits to the head such as the one by Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry that leveled Buffalo safety Aaron Williams.Ryan called Landrys hit dirty and deliberate, while saying on-field officials made the right call in flagging the player for unnecessary roughness. Ryan then went further in questioning why the league doesnt adopt college footballs policy and have such hits immediately reviewed by replay officials to determine whether they merit an ejection.Yeah, it was totally unnecessary. Did he target? Did he launch? Yeah, he did all those. You can check every box you want, Ryan said Monday. If we really want to protect our players, then we need to look at things. And maybe in the future we will look at things differently.Ryan spoke a day after Williams was hurt and taken to the hospital during Buffalos 28-25 loss to the Dolphins . Williams was cleared to travel home with the Bills and attended team meetings Monday. His status, however, is uncertain for Sunday, when the Bills (4-3) host New England (6-1).Williams, who has a history of head and neck injuries, was hurt in the second quarter on a running play at Buffalos 11. Williams was tracking running back Jay Ajayi and moving to his right when he was blindsided by Landry, who led with his shoulder and caught Williams in the head and sent him to the turf. Williams squirmed in pain and remained on his back before slowly getting up and being led to the locker room.Following the game, Landry apologized for the block and wished he could take it back, and offered little defense when asked if the hit was dirty.Call it what you want, Landry said. Its football.On Monday, Dolphins coach Adam Gase acknowledged Landry needs to lower his target when blocking, but doesnt consider him to be a dirty player.For anybody to start thinking `dirty play, Ive been around the guy less than a year and I havent seen that from him, Gase said. We have to do a better job of coaching it and need him to do it right so we dont get that kind of situation.Dolphins offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen didnt think Landry was being, as he put it malicious.You love the effort, Christensen said. Weve just got to lower that target a foot. We dont want to hit anyone in the head.Whats concerning is Williams history of head injuries.The sixth-year players career was in question after he sustained a severe neck injury last season. Williams was hurt while diving headfirst in an attempt to tackle Patriots receiver Julian Edelman in Week 2. He missed two weeks and then pulled himself from a game at Tennessee after experiencing numbness in his arms.Williams was placed on injured reserve and had neck surgery, during which doctors shaved two disks to alleviate nerve damage.In August, Williams also missed a portion of training camp after sustaining a concussion during a collision with receiver Dezmin Lewis.The Bills didnt make Williams available to the media Monday, but his father, Anthony Williams, expressed unhappiness with the hit on his Twitter account.Football play, yes. Dirty play, yes! wrote Anthony Williams, who serves as Texas director of player development/scouting for the All-American Bowl. No player is supposed to `launch themselves at an opposing players head or knee.As for other injuries, Ryan said running back LeSean McCoys status is uncertain after he aggravated an injury to his left hamstring in the third quarter.Receiver Marquise Goodwin is being evaluated for a concussion after he landed hard on the back of his head while attempting to make a catch.On the bright side, Ryan said defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (hamstring) has a chance to return to practice, while receiver Robert Woods (right foot) is also progressing.The focus on injuries overshadowed how poorly Buffalo played against Miami, and snapped a four-game winning streak. The Bills squandered a 17-6 third-quarter lead and allowed 256 yards rushing, including 212 by Ajayi.Im done with this one, Ryan said in attempting to put the performance in the past. Am I sick about it? Yeah, absolutely. Im a better coach than that. And a performance like that hasnt happened to me in a long, long time.---AP Sports Writer Steven Wine in Miami Gardens, Florida, contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale USA Soccer Jerseys . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson said he knew Harper likely would not play against the Atlanta Braves when he saw limp off the teams charter flight. "Its bothering him," Johnson said. "Weve got to try to figure out whether he needs more rest oor what we have to do to get him by that.dddddddddddd" Harper said on Thursday in Baltimore that he hoped to return against Atlanta, but Johnson doubts the 20-year-old will play this weekend.
