ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Tim Tebow needs more R&R than anyone thought. The Broncos quarterback played through rib, lung and chest injuries he sustained in Denvers 45-10 loss at New England in the AFC divisional playoffs last weekend. He wont need surgery, is expected to make a full recovery with some down time and his off-season training program shouldnt be affected in any way. ESPN first reported Wednesday that Tebow got hurt on a third-quarter tackle, then had trouble sleeping because of the pain and underwent an MRI on his chest Monday. Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said that while he couldnt confirm the exact extent or nature of the injuries due to team policy, he acknowledged that Tebow finished the game in considerable pain. Backup Brady Quinn quickly got ready to go into the game after Tebow was hit by Vince Wilfork and Rob Ninkovich, but Tebow stayed in and finished up. "Its just the physicality of playing football. Sometimes you get hit and it can hurt a little bit. But, I wanted to play a lot of the game," Tebow said after the game. The outcome had long been decided by the time Tebow got hurt. "I just wanted to show character. You just continue to fight and it doesnt change who you are, how you play, how you go out there, you should be the same at all times," Tebow said. "Thats what I wanted to show, it didnt matter if it was the first play or the last play or you were down by 42. I was going to be the same player and I was still going to give everything I have. Because thats all I have to give." Tebow, who had an ice pack on his non-throwing shoulder after the game, wasnt in the locker room during a one-hour media window on Sunday, emerging with a smile from the trainers room as reporters were filing out as the players streamed to their end-of-season meeting with coach John Fox. Recovery from such injuries can take several weeks, and its highly unlikely Tebow would be able to play in the Pro Bowl on Jan. 29 if hes selected as a second alternate. On Monday, Broncos boss John Elway declared Tebow the incumbent starting QB entering training camp next summer and reiterated his plan to work with him during the off-season to help polish his passing game. Tebow went 8-5 as the Broncos starter after supplanting Kyle Orton following a 1-4 start. He engineered a six-game winning streak that included four straight fourth-quarter comebacks that sent Tebowmania into full pitch. He faded at the end, losing his last three starts, including one to the Kansas City Chiefs and Orton, but the Broncos backed into the playoffs nevertheless at 8-8 as champions of the middling AFC West. Tebow had the best game of his pro career in the wild card round, when he averaged 31.6 yards per completion, the best in the NFL in 40 years, and threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime for a 29-23 win over heavily favoured Pittsburgh and the leagues No. 1 defence. That was Denvers first playoff game in six seasons. While the Broncos brass was delighted at returning to the post-season party a year after a franchise-worst 4-12 season, they said the 35-point loss to the Patriots showed just how far they need to go to return to the AFCs upper echelon. Tebow, who didnt get the first-team snaps during training camp or for the first month of the season, realizes he has a long way to go himself. "Just work and improve, fundamentals, understanding defences, footwork, everything," he said. Tebow might also have to get accustomed to a new offensive co-ordinator in 2012. Mike McCoy has interviewed for head coaching vacancies in Miami and Oakland. McCoy is a hot commodity after retooling Denvers offence midstream to capitalize on Tebows unique skill set. He implemented the read-option that turned the NFL on its ear at midseason and resulted in the Broncos soaring to the top of the league in rushing. Tebow ran for 660 yards, most by a quarterback in team history, in the regular season and another 63 in the playoffs, leading to concerns among some that he was exposing himself to injury. But Tebow noted that he actually takes glancing blows, if any, from smaller defenders while on the run, making him less vulnerable than when he stays in the pocket and might get sandwiched by 300-pound linemen. He took every snap for Denver after replacing Orton at halftime Oct. 9 against San Diego. Tebow ran for six TDs in the regular season and one in the playoffs while averaging 5.3 yards a carry. But he completed just 46.5 per cent of his passes last season and just 40.4 per cent in the playoffs. "Were always looking for balance," Elway said. "Balance is what we won Super Bowls with." Elway and Tebow are eager to see what a difference an off-season can make -- they didnt have that luxury last year during the NFL lockout. "I feel like Ive improved a lot in a lot of different forms of my game," Tebow said. "And I continue to improve and continue to get a lot better, and I believe I can, and Im looking forward to putting in work." Authentic Jimmy Graham Jersey . -- Everyone who works for the Kansas City Chiefs, including general manager Scott Pioli and head coach Todd Haley, will be lighter in the wallet if theres a work stoppage in the NFL. Authentic Roman Harper Jersey .

Gamel was hurt May 1 while trying to catch a foul popup in an 8-3 victory at San Diego.

The first-place Giants used 11 pitches, matching a major league record for extra-inning games. They remained 4 1/2 games ahead of Los Angeles in the NL West because the Dodgers also lost at home in extra innings, to San Diego. Hill drove in two runs and was a triple shy of his third cycle this season. John McDonald also had two RBIs for the Diamondbacks, who ended a three-game skid. Brandon Belt had three hits, including a two-run homer, for San Francisco. Pablo Sandoval knocked in two runs but the Giants had their three-game winning streak stopped. Josh Collmenter (4-3) pitched two innings for the win. Hill opened the 11th with a single off George Kontos (1-1) and scored on Kubels one-out triple to right off Javier Lopez. After an intentional walk to Paul Goldschmidt, Miguel Montero added an RBI single. Diamondbacks starter Ian Kennedy, who also drove in a run, took a three-hitter into the sixth. He was pulled after Brandon Crawford doubled as the potential tying run. Kennedy was charged with five runs and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings. He walked one and struck out five. Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong lasted 3 1-3 innings, allowing six runs on nine hits. He walked two and struck out seven. After pitching at least six innings in his first 21 starts, Vogelsong has failed to get out of the fourth in three of the past five. He has a 10.13 ERA during that span, giving up 24 runs and 37 hits in 21 1-3 innings.dddddddddddd Sandoval followed Marco Scutaros first-inning triple with a groundout to put the Giants ahead 1-0. The Diamondbacks tied it on Kennedys RBI single in the second and took the lead in the third when Goldschmidt doubled home a run and McDonald singled home two more. The Giants got one back when Scutaro doubled in the third. Hills two-run homer in the fourth put Arizona ahead 6-2 and ended Vogelsongs night. Hunter Pence doubled home a run and scored on Belts two-run homer in the sixth to cut it to 6-5. Sandoval singled home a run in the seventh to tie it.
