FLORHAM PARK Cheap New York Jets T-Shirts , N.J. (AP) The New York Jets’ secondary might be down a starter against the Atlanta Falcons.
Cornerback Buster Skrine has a concussion and his status is uncertain for the game Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
It is the third known concussion in just over two years for Skrine, who was injured last Sunday at Miami but finished the game.
Article continues below ...”He came in Monday morning and they diagnosed him then,” coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday.
Skrine has started all seven games this season opposite Morris Claiborne in the Jets’ base defense, but is also the team’s primary nickel back when it goes with a five-defensive back look. He had a rough performance against the Dolphins Youth Tennessee Titans Hats , having a role in allowing three touchdowns while also being called for three penalties.
Xavier Coleman, Skrine’s backup at nickel back, was placed on injured reserve Wednesday with a shoulder injury. The Jets promoted cornerback Robert Nelson from the practice squad, but it’s unclear who might fill Skrine’s role in the nickel spot.
Nelson Cheap Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , Darryl Roberts and Juston Burris are all normally used on the outside in coverage.
”We have some gymnastics to work out,” Bowles said of his secondary.
Skrine suffered a concussion against Washington on Oct. 18, 2015, and another against San Francisco on Dec. 11 Youth Washington Redskins Hats , 2016.
Bowles was uncertain when the latest concussion occurred, but Skrine collided with Miami receiver Leonte Carroo and his helmet popped off midway through the fourth quarter of New York’s 31-28 loss. He remained in the game after the hit.
Bowles wouldn’t attribute Skrine’s bad day to possibly having played with a concussion.
”I don’t know,” the coach said. ”I mean, I didn’t know about it at the time. We just have to play better. I don’t want to say that was the cause of it because I don’t know when he got it.”
In other injuries: Right tackle Brandon Shell (neck) Authentic Customized Falcons Jerseys , defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (shoulder/foot) and rookie tight end Jordan Leggett (knee) all sat out practice. Wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) was limited.
Quarterback Josh McCown was also listed on the tea
m’s injury report with a
back ailment, but he practiced fully.
Shell injured his neck early against Miami and was replaced by Brent Qvale. Bowles said tests came back negative and Shell is day to day.

. Womens Josh Rosen Jersey , New York Jets Customized Jerseys , Cheap Ben Simmons Jersey , Authentic Womens Derrick Nnadi Jersey ,EDMONTON Cheap Oakland Raiders Hoodie , Alberta (AP) Very few teams can boast of a winning record against the Vegas Golden Knights this season. The Edmonton Oilers are one.
Connor McDavid had three assists to push his NHL-leading points total to 106 and help Edmonton beat Vegas 4-3 on Thursday night, improving to 3-1 against the Pacific Division winners.
”Obviously to come from behind was nice, especially on a team like that which has been so good,” McDavid said. ”To win the season series 3-1, it’s a little feather in our cap.”
Article continues below ...Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Cheap Pittsburgh Steelers T-Shirts , Matt Benning, Mike Cammalleri and Ty Rattie scored for the Oilers. They snapped a five-game losing skid.
”It is a little bit gratifying knowing you can play with some of those top teams, but obviously we didn’t play our top game enough this year to put ourselves where we want to be right now,” said Oilers goalie Cam Talbot, who made 30 saves to collect his 30th win of the season. ”It is bittersweet getting a big win against a team like that which is in first place in your division Youth Oakland Raiders Hats , but after Saturday they keep playing and we don’t.”
Brayden McNabb, Brandon Pirri and Oscar Lindberg replied for the Pacific Division-leading Golden Knights. They had won three in a row.
”We’ve been pretty good as of late,” McNabb said. ”We’ve had a couple of stretches where we’ve had breakdowns, but that’s hockey. It happened, we have to keep building we have one more left and we’ll keep building for Game 1 of the playoffs.”
Edmonton opened the scoring seven minutes into the opening period. McDavid started a three-way passing play that culminated in Nugent-Hopkins scoring his 23rd before goalie Malcolm Subban could get across the crease.
The Knights tied it two minutes into the second period when McNabb took the puck at the point off a faceoff before dangling through traffic and beating Talbot.
Vegas took the lead three minutes later on Pirri’s goal.
Benning’s shot from the slot went in after Subban got a piece of it to tie it at 2.
Edmonton went ahead 3-2 midway through the third on the power play as McDavid poked a puck away from a defender behind the net out front to Cammalleri Authentic Customized Rams Jerseys , who notched his seventh.
McDavid picked up a third assist three minutes later, feeding the puck to Rattie picked the top corner for his fifth goal in 13 games with Edmonton. Vegas got one back with five minutes to play in the third frame as Lindberg was left alone in the slot and beat Talbot.
Notes: Defenseman Zack Whitecloud made his NHL debut for Vegas. The Brandon, Manitoba, product signed as a free agent out of Bemidji State on March 8. … Defenseman Keegan Lowe, son of former Oilers star Kevin Lowe Youth Los Angeles Chargers Hats , made his Oilers debut.

WINNIPEG Youth Cody Latimer Jersey , Manitoba (AP) Connor Hellebuyck gave his teammates all the credit for helping look good as he picked up his latest shutout.
Hellebuyck made 25 saves for his fifth shutout of the season and the 11th of his career as the Winnipeg Jets beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 on Saturday night.
”They’re bringing it every night and you can tell,” Hellebuyck said. ”Guys are getting a little banged up, that means they’re blocking shots and doing the right things. My hat is off to my teammates.”
Article continues below ...Patrik Laine scored his team-leading 24th goal, rookie Jack Roslovic was credited with his second and Nikolaj Ehlers added an empty-netter for the Jets Kolton Miller Jersey Raiders , who improved to 5-0-2 in their last seven. Blake Wheeler had two assists.
Semyon Varlamov had 29 saves for Colorado in his return after missing 10 games with an injury and then backing up Jonathan Bernier in the overtime win at Edmonton on Thursday night.
”It was great to see him back in the net and he was our best player tonight,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said.
Winnipeg led 1-0 after the first period and kept that edge until Wheeler’s shot bounced off Roslovic and went up and over Varlamov into the net at 5:17 of the third.
With forward Mikko Rantanen in the penalty box for tripping, Laine scored 2:27 into the opening period on a play that’s become familiar to Winnipeg fans. Wheeler threaded a pass through defenders across the front of the net to Laine on the left and he quickly fired in his 13th power-play marker past Varlamov on his blocker side.
Rantanen later rang a shot off the post as the Avalanche had a 10-6 advantage in shots after the first. The scoreless second period featured good chances, and bad luck Ryan Switzer Jersey Raiders , by both teams. The Jets had three shots hit the post, while the Avalanche had a 2-man break while short-handed when Matt Nieto and Gabriel Bourque went in alone on Hellebuyck, but Bourque’s high shot missed the net.
”I think I might have intimidated (Bourque) a little bit,” Hellebuyck said with a grin.
Nieto described Hellebuyck as a big goalie who takes up a lot of the net.
”If he sees the puck he’s going to save it Mike Remmers Jersey Vikings ,” Nieto said. ”We just had to get guys in front of him and get more second and third chances.”
Bednar said his players looked good for the first half of the game.
”I thought the final 30 minutes of the game our execution was poor,” he said. ”We were passing into skates and turning the puck over and that led to them creating a bunch of good scoring chances in the second period. Eventually they took over the game.”
The Avalanche had a power play with 4:43 left in the third when Jets center Bryan Little was called for hooking, but Hellebuyck made a couple of stops from close in and Ehlers scored into the empty net with 18 seconds left to preserve the win.
NOTES: Winnipeg lost veteran forward Matt Hendricks to an upper-body injury early in the opening period. Coach Paul Maurice said later it didn’t look significant. ”In that we lost Matt so early and you get to a shorter bench and a kind of a grinding game, we handled it pretty darn well Keke Coutee Jersey Texans ,” Maurice said. … The Avalanche wrapped up a season-high, six-game road trip at 2-3-1.

. Kansas City Chiefs Customized Jerseys , Authentic Womens Justin Jones Jersey , Brandon McCarthy Jersey Womens , Jason Castro Jersey Womens ,DETROIT (AP) Petr Mrazek capped an impressive January with another sharp performance.
Mrazek made 30 saves Youth Saquon Barkley Jersey , and then stopped Tomas Hertl in the seventh round of a shootout to lift the Detroit Red Wings to a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night. Mrazek went 3-1-1 in January with two shutouts and a .940 save percentage, easily his best month of the season.
”When you get to play, when you play lots of minutes, you get the confidence, the swagger back, and try to build from that Youth Ed Dickson Jersey ,” Mrazek said.
Article continues below ...Justin Abdelkader scored in the final round of the tiebreaker, and Mrazek’s save on Hertl ended the game. Trevor Daley scored for the Red Wings in the third period before Kevin Labanc responded for San Jose.
Gustav Nyquist, Andreas Athanasiou, Tomas Tatar and Abdelkader scored in the shootout for Detroit, while Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture and Chris Tierney scored for the Sharks.
The Red Wings had a season-high 44 shots Jason McCourty Jersey Patriots , but San Jose salvaged a point thanks to goalie Martin Jones and Labanc’s goal with 4:59 remaining in regulation. The Sharks spoiled Mrazek’s bid for another shutout in January after an extended period in Detroit’s zone. Luke Glendening of the Red Wings was caught without a stick, and Labanc’s wrist shot through traffic beat Mrazek high to the glove side .
Jones played in a 5-2 loss at Pittsburgh the previous night, allowing one of the goals on a bad giveaway . He was much better against Detroit.
”He looked good and gave us a chance to win a game that we probably didn’t deserve,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. ”The Red Wings looked fresher than we did and played a smart game. Jonesy gave us a chance, but I think getting one point is a fair result.”
Detroit was playing its first game after the All-Star break. The Red Wings had their chances before Daley opened the scoring. Darren Helm was unable to convert a clean breakaway early in the second, and Martin Frk had an open net on a third-period rebound Jeff Locke Jersey 49ers , but the puck went wide.
San Jose defenseman Justin Braun, who was without a stick at the time, stuck out a skate and appeared to get a piece of Frk’s shot.
”I thought our energy was really good, I thought our compete was really good. I didn’t think we were great in the first, I thought we got better as the game went along,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. ”Some of that is you’re coming off break a little bit. But I thought we got better as the game went along and I thought by the end we did lots of good stuff so I thought we deserved the two points.”
Daley put Detroit up 1-0 with 13:12 remaining in the third. Jones appeared to have stopped Daley’s backhander from a tough angle Youth Quenton Nelson Jersey , but the puck dropped over his left pad and ended up in the net for the defenseman’s fourth goal of the season.
The goal came moments after Pavelski hit the post at the other end.
NOTES: San Jose’s Brent Burns had six shots in the first period and nine for the game. … Labanc played his 100th NHL game. The goal was his sixth of the season. … The Sharks lost their third straight game without Joe Thornton, who is out with a right leg injury.

Craig Anderson stopped 28 shots for his 40th career shutout, leading Ottawa to a 3-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in the NHL 100 Classic outdoor game. Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Bobby Ryan and Nate Thompson scored to help the Senators get consecutive wins for the first time in more than a month.
”We knew we needed to have a good game,” said captain Erik Karlsson Calvin Ridley Jersey Falcons , who had one assists while playing a season-high 32:55. ”We didn’t know what to expect, what type of game it was going to be, but I think we came out strong and we finished strong. I don’t think we strayed from the kind of game that needed to be played in an atmosphere like this.”
Article continues below ...The Senators capped off a weekend of festivities with an impressive win, controlled the game from the start.
Carey Price was kept busy as he stopped 35 shots for the Canadiens, but didn’t get any offensive support. Montreal failed to take advantage of an Ottawa team that had been struggling of late and the Canadiens know this was a missed opportunity.
”We know where we are in the standings Rashaan Gaulden Jersey Panthers , we know it’s a division game and it doesn’t matter the hype, doesn’t matter the outside noise,” captain Max Pacioretty said. ”We didn’t play a strong game and that never feels good.”
The temperature at puck drop was about 12 degrees and dropped throughout the game to -13 with wind chill. Despite the frigid temperatures 33,959 fans filled the stands at TD Place for the first outdoor game for the current Ottawa franchise. The game was part of the NHL’s 100th anniversary celebration.
”I think that’s the coldest I’ve ever been,” Ryan said. ”The fans came out and made it a heck of a night by being loud and being engaged and when the home team gets two points and the city can rally around it for a great event makes it all the better.
”It was worth every second of it. We had a blast.”
Trailing 1-0 heading into the third Youth Jaleel Scott Jersey , the Canadiens pushed a little harder but had very few scoring chances aside from one where Philip Danault slid his shot through the crease.
With just under three minutes to go in the third, Jonathan Drouin had a giveaway in his own zone and Ryan made the most of it, breaking in alone and beating Price to extend the Senators’ lead to 2-0. It was Ryan’s second goal in two games and he says he finally feels like his game is turning around since breaking his index finger in October.
Thompson added an empty-netter with 10 seconds left.
The Senators continued to dominate the pace of play in the second and were finally rewarded at with 5:05 left as Pageau tipped Karlsson’s point shot to get Ottawa on the board. Pageau now has eight career goals against the Canadiens.
”To score that goal was pretty special,” said Pageau, a Quebec native. ”When I scored that goal and your goalie doesn’t give one it makes it easier. I think we played a really solid game and obviously when the atmosphere’s that loud the energy level is always up.”
Ottawa tested Price earlier in the period as well when Mike Hoffman had three shots on an early power play Youth Logan Cooke Jersey , and Matt Duchene had a great chance only to see the Montreal goalie make a blocker save.
A scoreless first period saw the Senators outshoot the Canadiens 15-8.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as NHL commissioner Gary Bettman were on hand for the festivities. Trudeau was seen shaking hands with the Senators as they made their way to the ice.

. Womens Cody Latimer Jersey , Womens Marquis Haynes Jersey , Jorge De La Rosa Jersey Womens , Authentic Womens Quenton Nelson Jersey ,ENGLEWOOD Authentic Jeremy Kerley Jersey , Colo. (AP) The Denver Broncos’ injury epidemic has gotten drastically worse.
Coach Vance Joseph said Friday that Donald Stephenson tore his left calf muscle at practice a day earlier when linebacker Corey Nelson also suffered a season-ending elbow injury.
Stephenson, the third right tackle to get hurt in a five-day span, and Nelson were expecting big roles Sunday when the Broncos (3-2) visit the Chargers (2-4).
Article continues below ...Stephenson was preparing for his first start after Menelik Watson (calf) and backup Billy Turner (hand) were both hurt in Denver’s 23-10 loss to the Giants. Turner underwent surgery and was placed on injured reserve.
Joseph said 10-year guard Allen Barbre will start at right tackle now.
”It’s unfortunate to have as many injuries as we have, but we have a real deep room Cheap Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jersey ,” guard Ron Leary said. ”Guys know that they’re going to be playing different positions. We’re prepared. We have a great coach. We have a great game plan. We’ll just go out and execute on Sunday.
”Allen has played right tackle before. He’s ready for the challenge and I know he’ll do a great job.”
Also at Thursday’s padded practice, newly signed practice squad receiver River Cracraft severely pulled a hamstring and was replaced by ex-Utah receiver Tim Patrick.
The Broncos already were without receivers Cody Latimer (knee), Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) and Isaiah McKenzie (ankle).
”I wouldn’t say it was a tough practice, but it’s tough losing guys Adidas David Pastrnak Jersey ,” receiver Bennie Fowler said. ”It’s the NFL, right? It’s a physical game. So, you be able to adjust and move forward.”
That’s why, he said Cheap Carlton Davis Jersey , nobody was moping around.
”You can’t go into any game with a negative mind-set or you’ll get a negative outcome,” Fowler said.
Stephenson missed three games last season with the same injury, which Joseph described as a ”small tear in the lower calf.”
The Chargers own the league’s worst run defense but also have two of the game’s best edge rushers in Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram.
Joseph said ”we’ve got one” when asked who would serve as his swing tackle Sunday.
”We’ve got some options there,” Joseph said. ”We’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
That could be practice squader Elijah Wilkinson Wholesale Kentavius Street Jersey , a rookie from UMass.
Another practice squad player, inside linebacker Jerrol Garcia-Williams, a rookie from Hawaii, will be promoted to replace Nelson James Washington Jersey Elite , whom Joseph said will undergo surgery Monday.
”Corey’s had a great year both on defense and on special teams, so that’s a big loss for us. But it happens,” Joseph said. ”We’re going to bring Garcia-Williams up tomorrow and we’ve got one spot that we have to fill.”

. Womens Nate Solder Jersey , Cheap Al Horford Jersey , Authentic Womens Ronnie Harrison Jersey , Authentic Womens Harold Landry Jersey ,Darren Gough clocked up a host of injuries to keep the shows physio team busy in Innsbruck Connor Williams Jersey Elite , with ankle, knee and shoulder injuries to name but a few. He worked hard and pushed himself, often resulting in falls, trips and slips.
Winter sports in general can be dangerous Authentic Martin Perez Jersey , though it is the extreme element and adrenaline rush which attracts millions to the slopes each year knowing that sports injuries are something that might happen without it getting in the way.
Here are some of the injuries which Darren endured during his time on the show.
Hip Problems
Repeatedly falls on the ice can cause damage to the hip, resulting in bruising and inflammation which can hinder you mobility. Continued damage and injuries to the knee joint can work against you in the long run, potentially increasing the risk of degenerative conditions such as Osteoarthritis of the knee which can even lead to a knee replacement being required in the future.
Cracked Ribs
In the majority of cases a cracked rib should repair given an appropriate amount of rest though it is important to protect the chest following such an injury to avoid further damage being caused as in exceptional circumstances it can lead to serious lung problems. It can take up to six weeks for the bone to heal and it can be quite painful to breathe during this time, though painkillers can be taken to help during recovery.
Bruised Shoulder
From the excessive number of falls and crashes experienced on the slopes and in the skeleton it is no wonder why Darren Gough has a bruised shoulder. Continued impact to the shoulder region can cause bruising which in turn will affect your mobility and even stop you from raising your arm above your head.
Ice is a great way of helping to manage inflammation and soothing the pain Wholesale Anthony Averett Jersey , though a shoulder support works by applying continued compression to the affected area to help manage inflammation which can help to enhance mobility of the shoulder.
There are varying types of shoulder support products available depending on the specific condition you wish to manage, whether offering compression or immobilisation of the joint. Following impact damage where rest is required an immobilisation brace with protect the joint from unnecessary movement. Any injury to the ligaments of a joint can impact on its stability, making it difficult to apply weight on the joint, therefore a support can be worn using straps which act as external ligaments Authentic Ryan Goins Jersey , thereby giving you the extra stability you require to remain mobile.
Final Thoughts
The majority of sports injuries are self-limiting conditions in that you should expect to recover following a few days of rest. The RICE principle can be adopted in most cases, with rest, ice, compression and elevation of the injured area. Whilst res is the best form of treatment for the majority of sports injuries M.J. Stewart Super Bowl LI Jersey , you can use ice and compression to help manage any inflammation and pain experienced. A sports brace such as a shoulder support can be worn during your recovery to help you remain active despite still having instability in the joint.

. Womens Dallas Goedert Jersey , Womens Da'Ron Payne Jersey , Womens Jordan Akins Jersey , Womens Justin Jones Jersey ,CHARLOTTE Cheap Trent Murphy Jersey , N.C. — The Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers are in similar situations as they meet for the first time this season on Sunday.
The Panthers probably have an idea of what the Falcons are going through.
These are the last two teams to lose in Super Bowls. It is not easy to recover.
Article continues below ...“The hangover, it’s difficult. It really is,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said, knowing his team went through it last year. “That’s difficult, and that’s hard. Unfortunately, we went through it, and now they’re dealing with it.”
The Falcons (4-3) have dealt with some puzzling results this season, but there is still time to put it together.
The Panthers (5-3) had a miserable 2016, the season after losing to the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl.
“Just knowing that disappointment Giants Patrick Omameh Jersey , it sticks with you,” Rivera said. “You’ve just got to work past it.”
While the Panthers are going through a range of emotion with the trade of wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin this week to the Buffalo Bills, the Falcons are trying to go about things with a business-as-usual approach.
“We’ve certainly got our work cut out for us, but like every other week, it comes down to us,” Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan said. “Our preparation has to be the same. … There will be opportunities like every game. When we do get our chances, you’ve got to make the plays. That will be the case against Carolina.”
These teams are contending in the NFC South. The Falcons, who will play their first division game of the season, snapped a three-game losing streak last week while the Panthers broke a two-game skid.
Even with the Panthers altering their depth chart at receiver Authentic Cody Latimer Jersey , that shouldn’t change much about how the Falcons view the situation this week, Atlanta coach Dan Quinn said.
“They’re equipped playing without (Benjamin) having done it before,” Quinn said, referring to Carolina’s successful 2015 season without the then-injured receiver.
But for the Panthers, the trade has been the main topic for a couple of days.
“When I get outside of my emotional state, I think like everything will be normal,” Carolina quarterback Cam Newton said. “I don’t want to dwell on that. It’s done. It’s over with. … You’ve just got to be a professional about it. You’ve just got to roll with the punches.”
Further, the Falcons won’t be sulking because another division team made a trade.
“You think Atlanta care about that?” Newton said.
The Panthers are counting on an upgrade of speed on the perimeter to help their passing attack. Rivera said that is something that was lacking at times.
“We haven’t stretched the field this year,” Rivera said. “Now there is an opportunity for us to do something different. … It’s something http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/su_a-cravens-jersey , if you look at it, that we needed to do.”
To do that, it means the Panthers will have to get more out of rookie receiver Curtis Samuel, who has been slow to fall into a role (and dealt with early injuries), and make use of receiver Kaelin Clay, who recently rejoined the organization. Both players are speed threats.
“Bringing (Clay) back has a chance to pay dividends off for us,” Rivera said.
Rivera said the Carolina rushing attack has stalled too often and part of that is that opponents haven’t felt threatened.
“We started seeing eight, nine guys in the box,” he said of opposing defenses.
Atlanta’s offense has been rather inconsistent at times as well. This might be a difficult week to fix that.
“They’ve got a deep defensive line Authentic Evan Longoria Jersey , and they want to rotate guys through, much like us,” Quinn said. “That’s what jumps out is the athleticism at the linebacker spot.”
Ryan added, “It’s a good challenge for us, blocking those guys (at linebacker).”
The Falcons also are looking to produce some more big plays..
“Those are the ones when you get the big shots down the field or the big runs down the field, there’s kind of a general shift in momentum at times,” Quinn said. “Especially if you can tack another play on to that.”
The Panthers forced three Tampa Bay turnovers last week, a big factor in Carolina’s 17-3 win. Despite how good the Panthers have been on defense, they haven’t made a big impact with takeaways.
“When we win (the turnover margin) Seahawks Byron Maxwell Jersey , we win 90 percent of the games,” Rivera said, noting that Tampa Bay didn’t convert after the one Carolina turnover last week.
Atlanta has won the past three meetings with Carolina. Newton said the
division games often take on another tone.
“This one counts for two, a divisional opponent,” Newton said. “We’re expecting big things. All seasons are better when we beat Atlanta. We didn’t do it last year.”
The Falcons had about a half-dozen players limited in practice by midweek, but Quinn said he didn’t expect any of them to miss the Sunday game.
. Cheap Buddy Hield Jersey , Womens Rick Leonard Jersey , Authentic Womens Paul Worrilow Jersey , Womens Hayden Hurst Jersey ,PITTSBURGH (AP) The Steelers have no plans on moving on from All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell.
Team president Art Rooney II is optimistic the team can sign Bell to a long-term extension going into the 2018 season Authentic Tracy Walker Jersey , but didn’t rule out using the franchise tag for a second straight year as a precaution if the two sides can’t come to an agreement before free agency begins next month.
While allowing that contract negotiations can be hard to predict, Rooney stressed Wednesday that ”the good news is both sides want to get something done and hopefully that will lead us to getting it done.”
Article continues below ...Bell played under the franchise tag this season after rejecting a new contract last summer. He responded by leading the NFL in touches (406) while finishing with 1,946 total yards and 11 touchdowns to earn his second All-Pro spot in four years as the Steelers finished 13-3 and won their second straight AFC North title before being upset in the divisional round by Jacksonville.
Bell told ESPN in the run-up to the playoff loss he would consider sitting out 2018 or retiring if Pittsburgh used the franchise tag again, but softened his stance prior to the Pro Bowl Authentic Josh Allen Jersey , saying he believes he’s close to signing a new deal, one that would likely make him the highest-paid back in the league.
While Bell figures to be back next fall, defensive backs coach Carnell Lake will not. Lake stepped down on Wednesday after seven seasons, citing a desire to return to California to watch his youngest son finish up his high school football career.
Pittsburgh’s secondary underwent a massive overhaul during Lake’s tenure Authentic John Franklin-Myers Jersey , as Troy Polamalu, Ike Taylor and Ryan Clark gave way to Mike Mitchell, Artie Burns and Sean Davis.
Rooney praised Lake’s contributions while adding that overall he believes the team still has work to do despite finishing with a franchise-record and NFL-high 56 sacks.
”I think at times we weren’t as solid against the run as we’d like to be and as we’ve been historically as a Steeler defense,” Rooney said.
”We’ve typically been able to stop the run http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/kentavius-street-jersey , so we’ve had occasions where maybe we weren’t as consistent in that area as I think we’d like to be.”
Namely against the Jaguars. The Steelers allowed 231 yards rushing in a regular-season loss to Jacksonville and 164 more in a 45-42 playoff stunner.
Rooney, however, downplayed the idea the Steelers were looking ahead to a rematch with New England and defended coach Mike Tomlin’s approach.
”Anybody that wants to look at Mike’s track record since he’s been our coach, I think the record speaks for itself Authentic JK Scott Jersey ,” Rooney said.
Rooney praised the leadership among the coaching staff and in the locker room in general following a bumpy autumn sprinkled with off-the-field issues from a ”botched” attempt to sidestep the debate around the national anthem in Chicago to linebacker Ryan Shazier’s life-altering spinal injury to the decision to cut longtime linebacker James Harrison, who promptly signed with New England and reached the Super Bowl.
Rooney said there was blame to go around on both sides for the way Harrison’s tenure with Pittsburgh ended, adding he would have preferred Harrison’s year end with getting five sacks in a Super Bowl with the Steelers.
Shazier will have a role with Pittsburgh next season whether his playing
career continues or not. The 25-year-old spent nearly two months in the hospital
after injuring his spine against Cincinnati in December and is undergoing
outpatient rehabilitation.
Shazier posted a picture of himself standing with a little help shortly before his discharge and he made several appearances at practices and games after getting hurt.
”I expect Ryan is going to be here one way or the other and have a role with the team one way or the other in 2018 for sure,” Rooney said.
