The Buffalo Bandits acquired forward Ryan Benesch and transition player Andrew Watt from the Minnesota Swarm in exchange for first-round picks in the 2015 and 2016 NLL Entry Draft and a third-round pick in the 2017 NLL Entry Draft. "We are thrilled to be able to add Ryan and Andrew," said Bandits general manager Steve Dietrich. "I still believe that we are going to build this team through the draft, as we hold four of the top 20 picks in 2014, but adding both Ryan and Andrew helps fill two of our biggest areas of need for both now and the future." "Both Ryan and Andrew embodied everything that the Minnesota Swarm was looking for both on and off the floor during their tenures with the team," said Swarm head coach and associate general manager Joe Sullivan. "They were ambassadors for our organization and carried themselves as professionals. Buffalo has gained two great people as well as two great lacrosse players." Benesch, who was named NLL Rookie of the Year as a member of the Toronto Rock in 2007, has ranked in the top 10 in goal scoring in each of the last three NLL seasons, including a league-leading 46 goals and 95 points in 2011. "Ryan is a top-five scorer in the league who, at 28 years old, is entering the prime of his career," Dietrich said. "He is one of the best left-handed offensive players in the game." The forward from Kitchener, Ontario has amassed 486 points and 467 loose balls in 103 regular-season games during the course of seven NLL seasons with Minnesota, Edmonton and Toronto. In seven playoff appearances, Benesch has added 35 points (15+20) and 37 loose balls. Watt, another Kitchener native, has spent his entire five-year NLL career with Minnesota after the Swarm chose him eighth overall in the 2008 NLL Entry Draft. "Andrew is a very good defensive transition player who will fit into our up-tempo defense and, at 28, also fits into our long term plans," Dietrich said. Watt has totaled 67 points and 312 loose balls in 68 regular-season games, scoring a career-best 16 goals in 2011 before recording nine points (6+3) in each of the last two seasons. His 13 shorthanded goals are a Swarm franchise record.Frank Kaminsky Jersey .

Charlotte Hornets Jerseys .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final.PITTSBURGH -- As a general rule, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin doesnt get too caught up in the emotional toll of a loss or the carnage it can leave behind.Yes, going over Sundays lifeless, sloppy showing in Miami wasnt pleasant. Its not supposed to be when you get whipped by a last-place team.We cant spend any time lamenting that performance and who is available or who is not available, Tomlin said Tuesday.Going through the injury list would probably take too much time anyway, especially now that it includes quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.The tweaked left knee Roethlisberger suffered in the second quarter against Miami while trying to avoid a sack resulted in surgery on Monday. While Roethlisberger prides himself on his toughness, he wont be in the lineup when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots visit on Sunday. Tomlin officially ruled Roethlisberger out and Landry Jones the starter for a showdown with the AFC East leaders.Tomlin declined to give a timeline for Roethlisbergers potential return. The Steelers (4-2) are off next week and travel to Baltimore on Nov. 6. Its possible Roethlisberger could be back by then, but Tomlin wont speculate on that now. Trying to figure out a way to slow down the Patriots (5-1) without his franchise quarterback takes precedence anyway.Besides, Roethlisberger is just one of a number of bold-faced names that may be out of the lineup. Defensive end Cam Heyward will miss his second straight game with a balky left hamstring and linebacker Ryan Shazier (knee) and right tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle) will likely need to make significant strides this week if they want to be in uniform. Shazier, Pittsburghs most dynamic defender, hasnt played since Week 3, while Gilberts left ankle is still aching from a Week 4 win over Kansas City.Running back DeAngelo Williams (knee), safety Rob Golden (foot), safety Mike Mitchell (knee) and wide receiver Markus Wheaton (shoulder) are also hurting. If the mystifying 30-15 setback in Miami proved anything, its that the Steelers hardly look like a legitimate threat in the AFC with so many contributors in sweatpants and sneakers instead of cleats.Minus Heyward and Shazier, Pittsburgh allowed Miamis Jay Ajayi to become the first opposing back to go over 200 yards against the Steelers since Fred Taylor in 20000.dddddddddddd The offensive line, which survived just fine without Gilbert in a victory over the Jets, struggled to protect Roethlisberger against the Dolphins.A little bit of help, however, may be on the way. Tight end Ladarius Green will attempt to practice this week as he works his way back from offseason ankle surgery and other issues that have kept Pittsburghs rare splurge in free agency on the physically unable to perform list. The team has 21 days once Green begins practicing to determine whether to put him on the 53-man roster.While tight ends Jesse James, Xavier Grimble and David Johnson have been a pleasant surprise, Greens ability to make plays downfield would bring another dimension and take some of the pressure off All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown.Its been so long, I feel like I retired and came back, Green said Monday.Tomlin will wait until later the week to gauge Greens progress. Its more likely Green will need some time to get acclimated before seeing actual playing time. He remains optimistic he will be back at some point and theres no reason to think Roethlisberger, Heyward and the rest of Pittsburghs key contributors will be out an extended period.Of course, that wont help on Sunday against Tom Brady. The Steelers proved last year they could survive without Roethlisberger, winning on the road at San Diego and at home against eventual NFC West champion Arizona with someone else under center. Jones did a pretty decent Roethlisberger impression against the Cardinals while throwing a pair of touchdowns in a 25-13 win .The test will be even more daunting against the AFCs best team. Tomlin isnt worried about Jones getting ready for the challenge.Hes a professional athlete, Tomlin said. I dont suspect hes going to be lacking of confidence. Landrys a confident guy by nature.Game notesThe Steelers signed offensive tackle Brian Mihalik and placed cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz on the practice squad. To make room for Mihalik on the active roster, Pittsburgh released offensive lineman Matt Feiler, who was put on the 53-man for the first time in his career last Sunday.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
