DeMarco Murray jersey has hamstring injury

Eagles running back DeMarco Murray has a http://www.bearsofficialnflprostore.com/Authentic-Marquess-Wilson-Jersey hamstring injury, and his status for Sunday's game against the Jets in New York is considered questionable, a league source told ESPN's Adam Caplan. The injury is not considered serious, the source said. Murray underwent an MRI after leaving practice Wednesday with the injury. He has run for just 11 yards in his first two games with the Eagles. Murray's post-practice media availability Wednesday was canceled, and he was not in the locker room when reporters were allowed in there. The Eagles are 0-2 after losses to the Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys. Murray has averaged 0.5 yards per carry in those two games. If Murray is unable to play, Ryan Mathews is likely to start. Darren Sproles is also available. "DeMarco's a great player," Eagles Derrick Coleman Authentic Jersey center Jason Kelce said. "But I think we also have two other great backs who can get the job done. Bottom line is, whoever is carrying the ball behind us, we have to do a better job up front blocking. As long as we can take care of the line of scrimmage and do what we need to do, we'll make hay in the run game." Murray appeared frustrated during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He was dropped for negative yardage on several plays, including consecutive losses of 6 and 5 yards. "I think he's frustrated," said quarterback Sam Bradford, who played with Murray at Oklahoma. "I think all the backs are frustrated. We're all frustrated with where that's at." Mathews, who also signed as a free agent Carlos Hyde Womens Jersey during the offseason, has carried the ball only four times for 4 yards. "When I signed up here, I knew what I was getting into," he said. "With DeMarco being here, he was going to be the main guy. I knew what I was getting myself into. All I'm trying to do is win."

Kam Chancellor ends contract holdout, returns to Seahawks

Kam Chancellor has ended his lengthy contract Browns Rob Housler Womens Jersey holdout and returned to the Seattle Seahawks after missing the first two games of the season. Chancellor arrived at the team facility on Wednesday morning. It was his first appearance since June's minicamp and ended a holdout that lasted nearly eight weeks. "I've always been a guy who follows my heart, and just watching my teammates and my team play week to week, first, second game, watching those losses, it hurt me being the leader that I am," Chancellor said after watching the Seahawks open the season with losses to St. Louis and Green Bay. "It was very hard because, not taking away from anybody else, but I knew I could make a difference." Chancellor, who had been holding out in hopes of getting his contract restructured, told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith that he intends to revisit his contract situation after the season. In a text message to Smith, Chancellor said: "Ima go help my Chargers Jimmy Wilson Womens Jersey teammates that are understanding of my position and the ones who aren't. God forgives all, why can't i? Time to help us get back to the big dance. I can address business after the season. Me and Marshawn started a mission 2 years ago. I can't let my Dawg down....Real talk." Asked if he'd received any assurances that the organization would revisit his contract status after the season, Chancellor said: "That's something we'll discuss." A three-time Pro Bowler, Chancellor signed a four-year, $28 million extension after the 2012 season, but the deal didn't take effect until 2013. The Seahawks refused to budge on restructuring a contract that had three years remaining, asserting that it would lead to a stream of players seeking new deals in the early stages of their contracts. Chancellor admitted he received negative feedback from Seahawks fans who didn't grasp what he was trying to accomplish by holding out. "People are going to make opinions when http://www.lionsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Haloti-Ngata-Jersey they don't know your situation, when they don't know exactly what is going on," he said. "So I forgive those who understand what is going on and those who don't understand what is going on." One of the league's top safeties and a leader of the "Legion of Boom" secondary, Chancellor is scheduled to make $5.1 million in base salary in 2016 and $6.8 million in 2017.

Steelers' fill-ins figure to stay involved jersey

The NFL's second-leading rusher is about 49ers Carlos Hyde Womens Jersey to lose his starting job. The wide receiver who has already quadrupled his entire 2014 output remains a placeholder, at least for now. And if DeAngelo Williams and Darrius Heyward-Bey are being honest, they're cool with it. Then again, considering the guys they've been filling in for, they don't really have a choice. Williams will step aside for All-Pro Le'Veon Bell when Bell returns from a two-game suspension on Sunday at St. Louis. Heyward-Bey will almost certainly see his spot in the rotation change when Martavis Bryant has his four-week league-enforced absence end next month. While coach Mike Tomlin made it a point to thank Williams for his contributions -including 127 yards rushing in the opener and a franchise-record tying three rushing touchdowns in last Sunday's romp over San Francisco - Tomlin left little doubt Tuesday about who will be in the backfield with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in St. Louis. ''I'm going to play Le'Veon Bell,'' Tomlin said. ''We'll figure Seahawks Robert Turbin Womens Jersey out (the workload) as we go. If 26 is available, we're going to use him.'' Williams, who called Pittsburgh's top-ranked offense ''a beautiful puzzle,'' made sure to take a bow after his three scores versus the 49ers. Consider it a signature move for the professional wrestling fan, one that might have to be put on the shelf with Bell back in the fold. ''The bow is classy and I like to consider myself a classy guy,'' Williams said. ''I wear tuxedo T-shirts. It says I'm a classy guy, but I'm here to party.'' Even if Williams returns to wallflower status for long stretches with Bell cleared, though a visibly humbled Bell - whose suspension resulted from his arrest on drug and DUI charges in August 2014 - made sure to downplay his impact after watching the 32-year-old Williams turn back the clock. ''He played great, but that didn't surprise http://www.officialbroncosnflauthentic.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_DARIAN_STEWART_JERSEY.html me at all,'' Bell said. ''I've been watching him for a long time, so I thought he did everything I was expecting him to do and more. I'm glad to be able to come back and help him out a little bit.'' Or maybe a touch more than that. Bell finished second in the league in all-purpose yards in 2014 and trimmed his body fat to 4 percent during the offseason. He believes he's in the best shape of his 23-year-old life and is easily one of the best receiving backs in the NFL.

Packers hope to evaluate Eddie Lacy at practice this week

The Packers hope an extra day between Browns Tramon Williams Womens Jersey games will give two of their offensive stars, running back Eddie Lacy and receiver Davante Adams, enough time to recover from sprained ankles to play next Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Both were injured in Sunday night's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Coach Mike McCarthy said the team won't practice again until Thursday, but both Lacy and Adams were at Lambeau Field on Monday for treatment. "I think any time you have ankle injuries, particularly with the perimeter players, until they get out there and hit the practice field ... we really won't know," McCarthy said. McCarthy said both Lacy and Adams were in the same situation, even though Lacy could not finish Sunday's game against the Seahawks, while Adams returned. Lacy left the game after linebacker K.J. Wright inadvertently landed on his right ankle. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported Sunday night that X-rays on Lacy's ankle showed no broken bones. The severity of the sprain is low enough that there's a chance he won't miss a game. It's the same ankle Lacy injured as a Browns Dwayne Bowe Womens Jersey rookie in 2013. He did not miss any starts because of it but was limited and could not finish a couple of games. Late that season, he spent most of the week in a walking boot but was able to play. McCarthy said he could not compare this injury with that one. "I couldn't tell you," he said. "I haven't seen him move yet." Backup James Starks filled in with 95 yards on 20 carries despite losing a fumble in the second quarter. The Packers have only one other true halfback on the roster, undrafted rookie Alonzo Harris. He has been inactive for both games so far this season. Adams returned to the game after his left ankle sprain in the second quarter. He played most of the second half but had only one reception after his injury.

Chip Kelly not making major changes in wake

Eagles coach Chip Kelly is feeling "embarrassed" by Chargers Jacoby Jones Womens Jersey Philadelphia's dreadful offensive performance. "I don't know how the players feel," Kelly said a day after his team's 20-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, "but I was embarrassed. That's not the way we're supposed to play football. That's not what we're all about." That doesn't mean Kelly is planning any lineup changes after two losses to open the 2015 season. "The guys we have are the guys we're playing with for the remainder of the season," Kelly said. "It's not a change thing. It's about putting in a game plan that will be effective against the Jets. That's what our focus is on." It appears Sam Bradford will be the Eagles' starting quarterback when they take on the Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Kelly said he was "confident" in Bradford, despite the quarterback having five turnovers in two games. As for the running game, which is the foundation of Kelly's offensive approach, the offensive line has been the primary problem. The Eagles gained only 7 rushing yards Sunday. But asked specifically about changes to his Chargers Stevie Johnson Womens Jersey offensive line, Kelly said he would stand pat. "The personnel is good enough," Kelly said. "The execution isn't. ... We're not putting together a plan that's good enough for us to execute offensively. Because we're not executing it. That falls on the coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball." The lack of a running game is allowing opposing defenses to drop back into coverage and prevent the Eagles from throwing the ball deep. "I think people are defending us to not allow us to throw the ball over the top," Kelly said. "It starts with the running game. You've got to establish the run so that they have to commit more people to the run. Right now, we haven't done anything in the running game. "We're seeing single-high or two-high http://www.chargersshopnfl.com/Authentic-Jimmy-Wilson-Jersey safeties, and those safeties are not involved in the running game at all because they don't have to be. It kind of goes hand in hand. When you start to run the football well, they need to now take people from deep and start to move them up closer to the line of scrimmage. Now you have the opportunity to throw the ball over the top." Kelly cited the Eagles' blocking as the primary culprit in the failure of the running game. That includes the work of the offensive line and the tight ends.

Rex Ryan accepts blame for Bills' loss

While Bills coach Rex Ryan took responsibility Seahawks Will Blackmon Game Jersey for Sunday's loss to the Patriots, Buffalo safety Duke Williams predicted the AFC East rivals would meet again in the playoffs. "This loss is squarely on one man's shoulders," an aggravated Ryan said after the game. "It's on my shoulders." One week after the Bills' defense held Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck to a 63.6 quarterback rating, the Patriots gained 507 net offensive yards, including 466 passing yards from Tom Brady -- the most passing yards the Bills have ever allowed in a game. "[Bill] Belichick outcoached me," Ryan said. "No question Seahawks Chris Matthews Game Jersey about it, and that's where the game ... that's how it ended up, and it's unfortunate. The plan has to be better on defense. Can't give up 500 yards and beat anybody, and then we turn it over three times. "We did a horse s--- job, and it's my responsibility." Asked what Ryan meant by getting outcoached by Belichick, Ryan responded: "Hey, man, I just know his team won. Again." Despite the loss, Williams continued to express confidence in the Bills' locker room after the game. "We came up short," Williams said when http://www.seahawksofficialnflonline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_JIMMY_GRAHAM_JERSEY.html speaking on the Bills' response to an injury to safety Aaron Williams. "We're gonna come back, though. We're gonna play this team two more times. And it's just a learning standpoint." Asked to elaborate on whether he meant that the Bills would meet the Patriots in the playoffs, Willimas responded, "Of course."

Chiefs star Jamaal Charles takes responsibility for loss

Jamaal Charles had touched the ball more than 1,500 times Broncos Vance Walker Authentic Jersey in his Kansas City Chiefs career, between the times he was given it in the backfield and the times he had hauled in a pass. He had fumbled it just 24 times. So when Andy Reid decided to hand off to him in the final seconds Thursday night, with the Chiefs and Broncos knotted 24-all, the coach figured his odds were better that the two-time All-Pro would break a long run than he would fumble for the second time in the game. ''I thought that was a good play,'' Reid said afterward. ''Didn't work out so good.'' Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall managed to pop the ball from Charles' grasp, and Bradley Roby scooped it up. By the time he ran 21 yards for a go-ahead touchdown, the Broncos had scored twice in a span of 9 seconds, leaving the Chiefs just 27 seconds remaining in the game. Barely enough time to digest what had just Browns Josh McCown Authentic Jersey happened in a 31-24 defeat. Charles could have dodged reporters in the aftermath, just like he had so effortlessly the Broncos most of the night. He could have hung out in the showers until the locker room closed, or slipped away. But instead, Charles took ownership of the loss, vowing that he would put his performance behind him with 14 games still on the schedule. ''You have to get over it. By tomorrow, it's going to be out of our mouths, the taste, and get focused for the next game,'' he said. ''We have to restart ourselves, redeem myself.'' Make no mistake: Charles wasn't sweeping anything to the gutter. The star running back took the defeat as hard as anybody in the locker room, even saying at one point, ''I tried to put the team on my back and I ended up losing the game. It's all on me.'' That left his teammates to point out they may http://www.bearsofficialnflprostore.com not have been in position to force overtime had Charles not run for 125 yards, or scored on a hip-swiveling, 34-yard first-half burst. ''Besides Jamaal being one of the best players in the league, he plays a big leadership role in our locker room,'' said quarterback Alex Smith, whose two interceptions also proved costly. ''You know, he's the type of guy - you can see it - you don't want to jump on the sore, so to speak. We're going to need him,'' Smith said. ''Tonight hurts. It's almost like a shock. You don't even know what to feel at this point, but obviously, we have to find something out of this.''

Novak Djokovic: How body clock and diet give him time

Only six men in the history of tennis have won more Craig Smith Jersey Grand Slam titles than Novak Djokovic, and as he promised after winning a 10th in New York on Sunday: "As long as there is this flare in me, I will be coming back." Winning three more Grand Slams would take him past Bjorn Borg, Rod Laver and Roy Emerson on the all-time list, and in sight of Pete Sampras and Rafael Nadal, who both have 14 to their name. Roger Federer's record of 17 remains the ultimate goal. Djokovic has nearly six years on Federer, but modern history suggests such relentless success will be extremely difficult to sustain into his 30s. Watching him now, though, makes anything seem possible. Djokovic reached all four of 2015's Grand Slam finals, losing only to Stan Wawrinka in the championship match at the French Open. He is already guaranteed to end the year as the world number one for the fourth time in five seasons: only Federer, Sampras and Jimmy Connors have done so more frequently. Djokovic was not even at the peak of his Mike Hoffman Authentic Jersey powers at this US Open. Federer had exactly the right game plan in the final, but was not able to execute it as well as he expected to at the critical moments. The Swiss converted just four of his 23 break points (10 of which included a second serve), but many of those were created by rushing the net: sometimes as Djokovic was still tossing the ball in the air to serve. "It seems like there are not many guys that can hang with him," Federer reflected in defeat. "They don't have the tools or dare to go forward, or dare to serve and volley against him because he's so good on the return." It is hard to imagine Federer being able to Eric Staal Jersey play even better next summer - a summer in which he will turn 35 - so who else can come up with some of the answers? Andy Murray has the ability to beat Djokovic, but he is unlikely to try from the net and has not overcome the Serb in a Grand Slam since the 2013 Wimbledon final. Nadal will still very much believe in his chances if he can stay fit and healthy for a consistent period of time, but may struggle to impose himself in the way he needs to away from Roland Garros. kovic in the final of the French Open earlier this year Wawrinka provided the answer in Paris this June, with one http://www.authenticmetsshop.com/authentic-4-lenny-dykstra-jersey.html of the most thrilling counter-attacks ever seen in a Grand Slam final. He went for broke, and it came off gloriously as a barrage of ferocious groundstrokes scorched the lines, but it is exceptionally rare for any player to be able to sustain such a high-risk level for as long as Wawrinka did.

Panthers CB Josh Norman questions comments

Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman is proud Benjamin Watson Limited Jersey of the way he covered Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones last season, so he responded sharply to a comment ESPN analyst Jon Gruden made during Monday night's game between the Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles. Gruden said during the first quarter of Atlanta's 26-24 win that he hadn't "seen anybody cover Julio Jones in the last couple of years." Jones caught nine passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns while being covered most of the night by Eagles cornerback Byron Maxwell, who got a six-year, $63 million extension during the offseason. A two-time Pro Bowler, Jones was limited to a combined 10 catches and 107 yards and no touchdowns in two games last season against Carolina with Norman shadowing him for most of the games. He averaged 99.5 yards receiving a game in 2014. "Yeah, I've been seeing that," Norman said of Kareem Jackson Nike Jerseys Gruden's comment. "That goes to show you how much he watches film, or how much he pays attention to what goes on to the people he's watching in the NFL. "That's all I've got to say about that." But that wasn't all Norman said about the game and how Maxwell covered Jones. "Both of them are great players," said Norman, who did not get the big extension he wanted from Carolina before the season. "But I just know Julio. It's kind of what he does and how he brings to the table. It's much different than any other wide receiver. And when you're a DB, you can't play him like you play other wide receivers. If you give him releases like that he's going to do that to you 99.9 percent of the time. "I knew it was going to be probably a Zach Brown Elite Jersey long day for him," he said, referring to Maxwell. Jones appeared on Atlanta's injury report this week with hamstring soreness, but coach Dan Quinn said he has no doubt Jones will play on Sunday against the New York Giants. "None," Quinn said when pressed.

NFL referees should get help via their headsets

The Edward Jones Dome was rocking Sunday when St. Louis Rams http://www.vikingsnflofficialproshop.com/harrison-smith-jersey_c-403.html fans saw Bradley Marquez recover an unexpected onside kick at the start of overtime against the Seattle Seahawks. They groaned when referee Jeff Triplette announced a rekick, citing an invalid fair catch, and cheered again when Triplette reversed the call and gave the Rams possession at the Seahawks' 49-yard line. What happened in the moments between Triplette's announcements? The play was not eligible for replay review. Did a member of his crew step forward and insist he saw something different, as often happens during a game? Or did Triplette receive a clandestine correction via the wireless headset all NFL officials now wear? Two former officials who now work in television stepped forward this week to endorse the latter theory, which if true would run counter to NFL protocol but in the end provide a valuable tool to ensure accurate calls. Former vice president of officiating Mike Pereira said on Fox Radio that "somebody got into Jeff Triplette's ear," and former NFL officiating supervisor and current ESPN analyst Jim Daopoulos said via telephone: "I think Mike hit the nail on the head there." Both men suggested this has become a Adrian Clayborn Authentic Jersey regular, if not common, practice given the complexity of the NFL rulebook, the speed of the game and the microscopic scrutiny on officiating. In fact, they advocated it as a technologically obvious method for minimizing mistakes. The idea makes perfect sense to me, but absent a formal policy, it raises questions about accountability and transparency. In an industry where so much money and job security ride on the outcome of each game, it would be unsettling to think that an unidentified entity is pulling the levers from behind the proverbial curtain. For its part, the NFL said through a spokesman that referees speak to the replay official in the press box on "administrative matters" but said they do not receive information or direction on the accuracy of their calls. In this case, Triplette initially believed that Seahawks place-kicker Steven Hauschka had bounced the kick off the turf -- which according to NFL rules would have invalidated a fair catch opportunity. Because the penalty is not subject to review, Rams coach Jeff Fisher had no recourse when replays showed that the ball did not touch the ground after leaving the tee. Triplette, however, rescued them (and himself) by announcing the reversal. Triplette told a pool reporter that a Ricky Jean Francois Womens Jersey member of his crew first said the ball had been kicked to the ground. "Subsequent to that," Triplette said, "another official whose responsibility it was to rule on that, came in and said, 'No, the ball was kicked into the air.' So therefore I went with the official who had the primary responsibility."
