EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Marshall Newhouse lost his starting job as the New York Giants right tackle because of a calf injury.Another calf injury got the 28-year-old back in the lineup, but not where he expected.Newhouse got his first substantial playing time since the second week of the season on Sunday when he took over for the injured Brett Jones and played left guard for more than three quarters in the Giants 21-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.It was the first time he played guard since the 2013 season, when injuries on the Green Bay Packers line forced him to switch from tackle.I went in there and just stunk up the joint, Newhouse said Wednesday, recalling his last outing at guard. I wasnt ready for that. I had not taken any reps and was not prepared mentally for that. It was a different time in my career.The last time he played guard before that was at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas.His performance Sunday was a lot better as the Giants (6-3) rushed for a season-high 122 yards in winning their fourth straight game.With Jones still limited and regular left guard Justin Pugh expected to be sidelined a couple more weeks with a strained knee, Newhouse seemingly will be the left guard when New York hosts Chicago (2-7) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.Newhouse, who has played tackle most of his football career, said the difference between playing guard and tackle is huge. The way a player uses his hands, feet and hips on plays are totally different. The sets are different, as are the players who line up next to you.Playing right tackle, Newhouse had guard John Jerry on his left and either space or a tight end on his right. At left guard, the seven-year veteran has tackle Ereck Flowers on his left and center Weston Richburg on his right.I have taken mental reps before, but as far as taking consistent preparation reps, this is new for me, he said. I am just trying to attack it and stay aggressive and try and have fun with it.Jones was hurt on the opening series and Newhouse took over on the second series. He was playing against someone he had never faced -- Bengals tackle Geno Atkins, one of the NFLs best.I felt like I held my own, said Newhouse, who missed five games with the calf injury and only returned the previous week against Philadelphia. I felt encouraged. There is a lot of stuff detail-wise that I will get better at, and stuff that I just need reps at. But I came away very encouraged.Newhouse said he knew all his assignments in the game, but his muscle memory was not all there.On most teams, starters who are injured usually get their job back when they are healthy again. The Giants opted to let second-year lineman Bobby Hart keep the right tackle job after he did well in Newhouses absence.Chicago outside linebacker Pernell McPhee created some bulletin board material for the Giants, saying the Bears are gonna tear them up and sack Eli Manning this weekend.The Giants have allowed just 13 sacks, including 12 on Manning. The Bears defense ranks 11th overall and is tied for eighth in sacks with 24. McPhee has two sacks in three games after starting the season on the physically unable to perform list following offseason knee surgery.There is a difference between doing that pregame and then finding out what happens in the game, Newhouse said.Game notes Jones (calf), G Adam Gettis (calf), WR Dwayne Harris (toe) and Pugh did not practice. WR Victor Cruz (ankle) and RB Orleans Darkwa (leg) were limited. Cruz and Pugh did not play last week. ... Coach Ben McAdoo on young players: Its like the Dow, its development. Its not always going to go up. There are going to be ups and downs and you stick with them if theyre working hard in practice and working to get better and theyre learning. Theyre going to improve.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Jimmie-Ward-Jersey/ . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Earl-Mitchell-Jersey/ . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. http://www.49ersrookiestore.com/49ers-Aaron-Burbridge-Jersey/ .

DENVER -- Cam Newtons latest encounter with the Broncos mustve felt like another trip to the dentist.The Panthers quarterback added yet another move to his repertoire -- he actually flossed his teeth on the sideline -- but his rematch with the Broncos in Thursday nights season opener was a brutal affair that ended with a missed field goal and the same outcome as the last time these teams met.Newton led Carolina within range of the winning score, but Graham Ganos miss, wide left from 50 yards, gave Denver a win in the Super Bowl rematch, 21-20.After an opening half in which he debuted a new touchdown dance and looked to have set aside all the bad memories from last years Super Bowl, Newton met, head-first, with Von Miller and a defense that has now made him look like something less than an MVP in Carolinas last two meaningful games.Newton ran for a touchdown and threw for another, but passed for only 16 more yards than Broncos newcomer Trevor Siemian.The Panthers quarterback probably deserved better.He was hammered throughout this game.Two of the hits were of the head-to-head variety, and neither drew any penalty yardage. The first came from -- who else? -- Miller, who met him facemask-to-facemask early in the third quarter while DeMarcus Ware was dragging him down. The hit left Newton doubled over in pain on the sideline. Newton didnt miss a play, but after leading the Panthers to a 17-7 lead in the first half, he produced only a field goal after the collision.The second hit came from Broncos safety Darian Stewart with 36 seconds left. It drew a flag and wouldve easily moved the Panthers into field goal range with a few plays left. But because Newton threw the ball away before the hit, he got called for intentional grounding and Carolina didnt get a yard.Newton still delivered. He finished 18 for 33 with one touchdown running and another passing and moved the Pantherrs within field goal range twice in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd His 69.5 passer rating was 14 points higher than in the Super Bowl. For a while, at least, this game had the makings of fun.One highlight: After his 2-yard run in the second quarter gave Newton the most rushing TDs (44) for a QB in NFL history, he stared down the southwest corner of the Broncos stadium and did a version of the hand jive before placing those hands on his hips then fake-tearing apart the center of his jersey, as if to reveal a big S on his chest.Later, Twitter went crazy with vines and video of Newton flossing on the sideline. His mother would be proud.But he is now 0-1 for the season, after going 15-1 last year.Newton, now 27 and a dad -- his son, Chosen, was born Christmas Eve -- shouldnt face too many questions about his toughness the way he did after the Super Bowl when he didnt dive into a pile to go after a loose ball. He got ripped for wearing a hoodie into the postgame press conference that night, answering the questions in barely audible form, then leaving early.He hasnt delved too deeply into what regrets he had, if any, from that Super Bowl experience, preferring through most of the offseason to talk about one week at a time and moving forward.Maybe the most telling thing about him was a Gatorade commercial that debuted this week. The guy is a terrible loser, says an analyst, while voicing over footage from Newton walking out of his Super Bowl interview. Later in the ad, Newton is holding his son, then getting ready for the rematch with the Broncos.Message: He clearly wasnt afraid to confront his past.Problem on Thursday was, it confronted him -- in the form of a Broncos defense that looked every bit as savage as the one he faced seven months ago.
