BEREA, Ohio -- Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III will practice next week and it remains possible hell play again this season.Griffin has been sidelined with a broken bone in his left shoulder since in the season opener at Philadelphia. He was cleared for non-contact drills this week, and coach Hue Jackson said Friday that the 26-year-old will return to practice in a larger capacity next week.There is another procedure that he needs to go through medically to see for sure if he is totally OK, if the bone is healed totally properly, Jackson said as the winless Browns concluded a week of practice before hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. But he will have the opportunity to start practicing next week and go out there with his teammates and perform and do what he can do.Once Griffin returns to practice, the Browns can activate him from injured reserve to the active roster at any point during a 21-day period.Griffin rode a stationary bike and worked with a trainer on the side during the portion of practices open to the media this week.The Browns signed Griffin to a two-year, $15 million contract in March with the idea he could revive his career and possibly be their franchise QB. However, Griffin was injured on a running play late in the Week 1 loss to the Eagles, raising more questions about his durability.Griffin needs to get back on the field this season to either show the Browns he can be part of their future or to showcase himself for another team. Hes due a $750,000 roster bonus in March.His injury was followed by backup Josh McCown breaking his collarbone, which rushed rookie Cody Kessler into the lineup. Kessler is 0-7 as a starter and was benched in the second half last week at Baltimore.Griffin has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor sustained a torn knee ligament as a sophomore but came back and was the No. 2 overall pick by Washington in 2012.With his rocket arm and unique running ability, he electrified the league and was voted the APs top offensive rookie. He suffered a knee injury in the playoffs but returned to have a strong 2013 season before injuring his ankle the following year.He lost his job to Kirk Cousins last season, didnt play a snap and was released by the Redskins in March.---AP NFL website: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Montravius-Adams-Jersey/ .

Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury.With a new management team in place and the addition of a couple of key role players, Raptors head coach Dwane Casey is hopeful his team can make the jump into a playoff position in 2013-14. Speaking on TSN 1050s Macko & Cauz show on Tuesday, the third-year bench boss is excited to see how his new pieces blend with the teams young core. “We needed toughness inside to go along with Jonas Valanciunas), Amir Johnson and Aaron Gray and we brought in Tyler Hansbrough, who I think our fans will be excited about.” To go along with the former Pacers power forward, the team addressed its perimeter shooting need via the Andrea Bargnani deal and in free agency. “We needed three-point shooting and we got Steve Novak and Austin Daye, who is a young untapped talented player who has three-point shooting ability.” Following a 17-32 start, the Raptors played the rest of the season one game over .500, in part because of a renewed emphasis on the defensive end. “We will get back to defence and let the offence take care of itself,” Casey said. “I thought Masai (Ujiri), Jeff (Weltman) and our management team did an excellent job of bringing in the type of players that will fit our needs.” Still, the team finished four games out of a playoff spot and new president and CEO Tim Leiweke decided to make a change in the basketball operations department, replacing former GM Bryan Colanagelo with Ujiri.dddddddddddd Casey said Ujiri and Leiweke operate differently than Coloangelo in that the former GM took a more hands-on approach than the current structure. “Bryans management style is more hands on. Hes there every day, hes involved…Theres nothing wrong with that, its just a different management style.” Casey is confident where the team is headed, but noted that the expectation of a playoff spot last season may have been too unrealistic. “I thought we put the cart before the horse last year in talking about the playoffs too soon, we were still building…Adding Rudy, adding some of the pieces we have now, weve accelerated that building.” Casey mentioned that while the team is positioned to make a playoff push this season, the overall focus is still on growing and developing the talented core they have in place. “We have good young talent thats getting better, but at the same time we want to win. We owe it to our fans, we owe it to our organization to put our best foot forward and go out to compete to win.” Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
