NFL notes: Tim Tebow returns to NFL to lead Eagles over Colts

Ap

Tim Tebow threw for 69 yards and ran for a touchdown in his first game in two years, Kenjon Barner returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown and ran for a score and the host Philadelphia Eagles beat the Indianapolis Colts 36-10 Sunday.

Tebow dove into the pylon on a 7-yard TD run late in the fourth, completed 6 of 12 passes and was sacked twice.

Tebow hadn’t played since the 2013 preseason with New England.

Quick kicks

Cowboys CB Byron Jones, the team’s first-round pick, will miss time with a left shoulder injury sustained in practice at training camp. … Bills coach Rex Ryan says DT Jarius Wynn could be lost for the season after a serious ACL injury, sustained in Friday’s preseason opener against Carolina. Ryan called the injury “devastating” to both the Bills and Wynn, and said that Wynn will miss the season if an ACL tear is confirmed. … Browns QB Connor Shaw will undergo surgery on his right thumb. Shaw was hurt during Thursday’s exhibition opener against Washington. The Browns said Shaw, who started Cleveland’s season finale last season, will miss “an extended period of time.”
