Staph infections rise among athletes (AP)

Cleveland Browns safety Brian Russell waits for the play to start in the Browns' 24-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday Nov. 19 2006 in Cleveland. Russell used to dishing out hits on the field had no idea what hit him  recently after being downed by a microscopic germ: a staph infection that hospitalized him and threatened to end his season.
