• Mich. RB Toussaint pleads guilty: Michigan running back Fitzgerald Toussaint pleaded guilty Tuesday to drunken driving while his availability for Saturday night’s showdown with No. 2 Alabama remained unknown. Toussaint made a brief appearance in Washtenaw County District Court, pleading guilty to operating a vehicle while visibly impaired after being charged with the more serious operating while intoxicated. He faces up to 93 days in jail when he is sentenced Oct. 23, just after Michigan hosts Michigan State and prior to its game at Nebraska.
• Redskins release TE Cooley: The Washington Redskins have released tight end Chris Cooley. The 30-year-old Cooley has spent his entire eight-season NFL career with Washington. He has 428 career receptions, including three seasons of at least 70. Injuries limited him to five games and eight receptions last season. The Redskins plan to use Fred Davis as their starting tight end. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan says parting with the two-time Pro Bowl selection was “as tough as it gets."
• Steelers WR Wallace ends holdout: With less than two weeks before the start of the regular season, Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Wallace reported to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wallace was at the team facility Tuesday morning. The 26-year-old restricted free agent will play under the one-year, $2.7 million tender offered by the Steelers and will hope something lengthier gets worked out before the regular season begins next week. Last season, Wallace had 72 receptions for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns.
• A&M vs. La. Tech game postponed: Texas A&M and Louisiana Tech have decided to postpone Thursday night’s season opener in Shreveport because of Hurricane Isaac’s forecast path through Louisiana. The game has been rescheduled until Oct. 13, which had been an open date for both teams.
