KANSAS CITY Authentic Brandon McCarthy Jersey , Mo. (AP) The Chiefs placed pass rusher Dee Ford on injured reserve with an ailing back and signed defensive tackle Justin Hamilton on Thursday night, three days before a crucial game against Oakland.

Ford has been hobbled most of the season 49ers Jonathan Cooper Jersey , missing a pair of games in September and October before hurting his back Oct. 30 against Denver. The Chiefs had been hoping he would be able to play again this season, but time ran out on the former first-round pick.

Ford had 10 sacks in 15 games last season Giants Lorenzo Carter Jersey , but will finish with two in six games this season.

The 6-foot-2, 315-pound Hamilton has spent time on the practice squads of the Bills Vikings Kendall Wright Jersey , Packers and Seahawks, and he appeared in three games for the Eagles earlier this season.

TEMPE Authentic Jason Castro Jersey , Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Cardinals expected their defense to be a strength this season. It hasn’t been.

That’s been particularly apparent lately. In their last six quarters, the Cardinals have allowed 66 points (and scored seven).

The problems have been many.

”Busting assignments that we’ve been doing for years,” star cornerback Patrick Peterson said. ”Just being on the same page, everybody believing in one another, just playing with that energy and passion again. That’s something we were missing the last two games for sure.”

Defensive coordinator James Bettcher said the biggest problems have been third downs and turnovers.

Arizona ranks next-to-last in the NFL in third-down defense, allowing opponents to convert them 47.7 percent of the time. Only Tampa Bay (48.98 percent) is worse.

No one has been as bad as the Cardinals the last three games, when opponents have converted third downs just under 62 percent of the time.

In Arizona’s most recent game Authentic Dallas Goedert Jersey , a 33-0 loss to the Rams in London two Sundays ago, Los Angeles was successful in 13 of 19 third-down situations.

There’s no one reason, Bettcher said.

”The biggest thing is the rush has got to work the coverage,” he said, ”and the coverage has to complement the rush.”

In other words, pass rushers have to get to the quarterback and, if they don’t Redskins Troy Apke Jersey , defenders have to adequately cover the receivers.

Last year, Arizona led the NFL with 48 sacks. Through seven games this year, the Cardinals are tied for 24th with 13.

Outside linebacker Chandler Jones has done his part. He leads the league with 13 tackles for loss and his eight sacks are the most among linebackers. His eight sacks are the most by any player through seven games in franchise history.

But no other Arizona player has more than one.

Takeaways have been a Cardinals strength in recent seasons, but not this year.

Arizona and Cincinnati are the only teams without a fumble recovery. The Cardinals have seven interceptions and are minus-four in turnover differential, tied for 24th in the league.

Arizona’s opponents have fumbled five times but have recovered them all. The Cardinals have to just keep trying to strip the ball away, Bettcher said.

”The other thing is just collision on the ball carrier,” he said. ”If you go look at all the fumbles through the course of the National Football League http://www.houstontexansteamonline.com/justin-reid-jersey , most cases ball carriers aren’t just dropping the ball. It’s contact at the point, it’s knocking the ball out.”

Arizona ranks 24th in the NFL in overall defense, giving up 353 yards per game. They are 14th against the run at 106 but 21st against the pass at 247.

The defense doesn’t play with the swagger it has shown in previous seasons.

Peterson, who is having one of his best seasons, said the team has had a chance to look at itself during its just-completed bye week.

”You get a week off, have an opportunity to look at yourself in the mirror and you’ve got to be true to yourself,” he said.

The Cardinals Cheap Terrelle Pryor Sr. Jersey , he said, ”looked at our scars, saw some of the things that are preventing us from being a dominant defense and I think hopefully we should have corrected that as men individually.”

Arizona (3-4) plays at winless San Francisco on Sunday.

The game follows what has been by all accounts a spirited week of practice that included two physical workouts in pads.

”We had a great week of preparation this week,” Peterson said, ”probably one of the better weeks I’ve seen since I’ve been here. That doesn’t mean anything if we can’t put it on tape on Sunday.”

COLUMBUS Authentic Josh Sitton Jersey , Ohio (AP) The winter has been cruel to the injury-riddled Columbus Blue Jackets.

Three of the team’s top forwards and a defenseman went down in December, followed by another key forward this month. Coach John Tortorella has moved players around and patched together lines with help from the team’s AHL affiliate in Cleveland. The lack of depth has been evident.

Without last year’s top scorer, Cam Atkinson, and centers Brandon Dubinsky and Alexander Wennberg, the Blue Jackets limped to a 6-7-2 record in December. Rookie winger Sonny Milano was hurt in the win over Toronto on Jan. 8.

Even with Wennberg back in the lineup, the Blue Jackets lost back-to-back games to two of the league’s worst teams, Buffalo and Vancouver, before limping into their NHL-mandated five-day break at 3-3 for the month. They were hanging on to second place in the rough Metropolitan Division and start back up again Thursday at home against Dallas.

Atkinson, with a fractured foot Cheap Tyquan Lewis Jersey , and Dubinsky, who had his eye socket broken in a fight Dec. 12, will be out until mid-February or later.

”We lick our wounds and get back to work and try to get things straightened out,” Tortorella said. ”We just have to reset ourselves here and try to find our way.”

Columbus hasn’t been the only NHL team to endure injuries to significant players in the first half. Other players around the league also have been suffering:

—

MARK SCHEIFELE, C, WINNIPEG JETS

The Jets’ No. 1 center had 15 goals and 23 assists for 38 points when he went out with an upper-body injury on Dec. 27. Winger Brandon Tanev, who was having a breakout season, went down two days later, and one of Winnipeg’s second-line defenders Authentic Brandon McCarthy Jersey , Toby Enstrom, has been out since Nov. 18. Still, the Jets were among the leaders in the Central Division behind Blake Wheeler, Patrik Laine and others.

CHRIS KREIDER, LW, NEW YORK RANGERS

The blazing 26-year-old forward had career highs of 28 goals and 53 points last season and had 11 goals in 37 games before being sidelined indefinitely with a blood clot in his right arm. He left a game Dec. 27 and was hospitalized. The injury was a major blow to the Rangers, who are in a tight race for a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division. No word on when he could return.

FILIP FORSBERG, LW, NASHVILLE PREDATORS

Forsberg’s 325 consecutive-game streak was snapped Dec. 29 when he went down with an unspecified upper-body injury. He was leading all Predators in scoring at the time with 15 goals and 19 assists through 37 games. The team says he will miss up to eight weeks. The 23-year-old Forsberg was critical in the Preds’ run to the Stanley Cup finals last year. He has led or tied for the team lead in goals each of the past three seasons and has scored at least 31 goals in each of the past two. Forsberg skated separately from his teammates Monday’s practice.

JEFF CARTER Authentic Jason Sanders Jersey , C, LOS ANGELES KINGS

The star forward played just six games this season before he suffered a skate-blade cut on his ankle that required surgery. He is out indefinitely. Carter had 32 goals and 34 assists last year in his highest-scoring season since 2011. The injury strained the team’s depth at center, but the Kings remain in playoff contention behind Vegas in the Pacific Division. Carter reportedly is not close to being able to skate again.

GOALIE WOES

The expansion Vegas Golden Knights have continued to flourish despite early injuries to three stoppers. Marc-Andre Fleury, Malcolm Subban and Oscar Dansk all went down in a 10-game stretch in October. Fleury and Subban have returned the lineup, but Dansk remains out. The Florida Panthers lost starter Roberto Luongo to injury Dec. 4, and a lower-body injury has kept Colorado’s No. 1 stopper, Semyon Varlamov, out since Jan. 2. Tampa backup Peter Budaj went on injured reserve Dec. 29, and Chicago backup Corey Crawford also is on IR.

GAME OF THE WEEK

The Vegas Golden Knights visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night in a battle of top-scoring teams and conference leaders. Tampa Bay has the league’s top scorer in Nikita Kucherov and one of the hottest goalies in Andrei Vasilevskiy. Former Blue Jacket William Karlsson is having a breakout season for the Knights.

LEADERS

Through Monday’s games: Goals: Alex Ovechkin (Washington) Cheap Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , 28; Assists: Jakub Voracek (Philadelphia), 45; Points: Nikita Kucherov (Tampa Bay), 60; Wins: Andrei Vasilevskiy (Tampa Bay), 27; Goals-against average: Carter Hutton (St. Louis), 1.84; Save percentage: Hutton, .940.

NEW YORK — For a brief time Sunday Authentic Antonio Callaway Jersey , the New York Rangers can forget about their woes and roster uncertainty by honoring part of their history.

Then the Rangers will attempt to snap a six-game losing streak by beating the Detroit Red Wings in the final contest before the trade deadline.

New York did not wait for the deadline to reshape its roster, continuing the overhaul by shipping All-Star forward Rick Nash to Boston on Sunday morning in exchange for three players and a pair of draft picks.

It marked the third trade by the Rangers, who already had sent defenseman Nick Holden to the Bruins and dealt leading goal scorer Michael Grabner to the New Jersey Devils.

In return for Nash, who scored 18 goals this season and has 434 for his career, New York acquired forwards Ryan Spooner and Matt Beleskey, prospect defenseman Ryan Lindgren Authentic Robert Golden Jersey , a 2018 first-round draft pick and a 2019 seventh-round selection.

It’s unclear if any of the new additions will be in the lineup against Detroit.

Before the Rangers take the ice, Hall of Fame center Jean Ratelle will get his jersey retired. Ratelle scored 336 of his 491 goals in 862 regular-season games for the Rangers from 1960-1976.

Ratelle ranks second in team history in goals behind former linemate and Hall of Famer Rod Gilbert. He is third in points (817) behind Gilbert and Brian Leetch.

Ratelle will become the ninth Ranger to get his jersey retired and then the Rangers will skate not knowing which players will be on the team after the game.

New York traded defenseman Nick Holden on Wednesday and Michael Grabner the following day. Nash sat out the previous two games in anticipation of a trade and other players could be former Rangers shortly.

The Rangers lost their sixth straight regulation game Friday, 4-1 to the Minnesota Wild. It is the first time they lost six straight in regulation since going 0-7-0 from Dec. 16-29, 2006.

“We’re in a results-orientated business,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault told reporters. “Everybody here wants to win. We came out tonight and guys were ready. In my mind, we worked hard Cheap Kareem Martin Jersey , and we had some good time. We just weren’t able to make the plays that we needed to make to get something out of that.”

Since getting a 3-1 victory at Winnipeg on Feb. 11, the Rangers have been outscored 26-11. This skid is part of a 3-13 slide since Jan. 18 that has the organization committed to rebuilding a team that has missed the postseason once since the start of the 2005-06 season.

“The biggest difference is normally there is one agenda and that’s the team agenda,” Vigneault said. “Right now, because of the situation and because of how things unfolded, there are a few agendas out there which are the circumstances we’ve decided to put ourselves into.”

One player expected to play for the Rangers is Henrik Lundqvist, who did not start the last two games.

Lundqvist owns a career-worst 2.89 goals-against average after allowing 12 goals in his last two appearances last weekend against Ottawa and Philadelphia. He has lost four straight regulation games and is 2-8-1 with a 4.24 GAA and a .881 save percentage in his last 10 games.

Like the Rangers Authentic Logan Paulsen Jersey , the Red Wings are sellers heading into the deadline.

They dealt goaltender Petr Mrazek to the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday and defenseman Mike Green could be moved as well.

The one snag might be an injury.

Green (neck) missed his fifth straight game Saturday when the Red Wings posted a 3-1 home victory over the Carolina Hurricanes and is expected to sit out Sunday, assuming he’s still on the roster.

“This time of the year, this is the free agent rental market for the most part,” Detroit general manager Ken Holland told reporters. “We’re going to entertain anything that we think that will help us be better in the future.”

Henrik Zetterberg scored the go-ahead goal in the second period Saturday and it was his 335th career goal, tying Hall of Famer Ted Lindsey for fifth on Detroit’s all-time list. Zetterberg only trails Gordie Howe, Steve Yzerman Cheap Troy Niklas Jersey , Alex Delvecchio and Sergei Fedorov.

Jimmy Howard made 28 saves as the Red Wings stopped a three-game losing streak. Detroit is seven points out of the last wild-card spot and is 8-10-3 in its last 21 games since a four-game winning streak from Dec. 29-Jan. 5.

“We need to get on a roll,” Howard told reporters. “We’ve been searching for that all season.”

The teams split a pair of one-goal games decided past regulation. New York’s Mats Zuccarello scored the game-winner in overtime in a 2-1 home victory Nov. 24 while Frans Nielsen scored the only goal of the shootout in Detroit’s 3-2 home win Dec. 29.

ENGLEWOOD http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/kareem-martin-jersey , Colo. (AP) The Denver Broncos began 2017 ensnared in a dreaded quarterback competition and they’re ending the year entangled in another.

Paxton Lynch lost out to Trevor Siemian last summer and it’s doubtful after missing most of the season that he could beat out Brock Osweiler this week in a fair fight.

But this week is about splitting snaps at practice, not even-handedness.

Osweiler is coming off one of the best performances of his career, ”but we have to consider the team’s future at quarterback,” coach Vance Joseph said Thursday. ”That’s fair for all of us.”

The Broncos want to see Lynch play over the final two weeks so they can have more fodder to determine if their 2016 first-round pick is a bust or a late-bloomer.

Ideally, the Broncos would prefer to have one QB taking almost all the snaps as Peyton Manning used to. That’s how offenses build cohesion, develop rhythm and create chemistry.

There aren’t really any workarounds to finding all those attributes while still searching for answers under center.

”How do you make up for it? Well Saints Marcus Davenport Jersey , you kind of don’t. That’s why most teams don’t do it,” Joseph said Thursday .

”It’s not ideal to play three guys and have three different starters. It’s not what you want to do, but that’s where we’re at. We’re going to play the hand we’re dealt and make the best of it.”

The knock on Siemian coming into the year was that he was injury-prone, and he went on IR last week with an injured left shoulder.

Lynch has proven even more fragile, however.

He sprained his left shoulder in the preseason and his recovery was excruciatingly slow. He was inactive for the first nine games and made his 2017 debut at Oakland last month, where he was knocked from the game in the third quarter and spent the remainder of the game sobbing on the sideline over a sprained left ankle.

Inactive the past three weeks http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/kolton-miller-jersey , he’ll at the very least be active Sunday at Washington when the Broncos (5-9) visit the Redskins (6-8) , and next week against Kansas City.

”I’ll say this, our goal is to see him play before the year is out,” Joseph said. ”We have two more games to do that. My concern is making sure he’s healthy enough to play at a high level. He has an ankle injury and he hasn’t practiced in three weeks. He’s a quarterback that can use his legs when he’s in danger, so I want to make sure he’s right. That’s about it.”

Lynch’s grasp of pro offenses and defenses, his maturity level and his work ethic have all come into question since general manager John Elway moved up in the 2016 draft to select him.

But it’s his health that’s holding him back right now and that’s what could lead to Osweiler getting the start Sunday.

Lynch has been limited at practice all week.

”That’s the issue. That’s why we’re taking our time trying to figure out if he’s ready to play Authentic Geron Christian Jersey , so we can evaluate him,” Joseph said. ”That’s why we didn’t name a guy yesterday or the day before.”

Osweiler led Denver to three TDs and had a 147.7 passer rating in Denver’s 25-13 come-from-behind win at Indianapolis after Siemian was knocked from the game with an injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder.

Once Peyton Manning’s heir apparent, Osweiler left for Houston in free agency in the aftermath of Denver’s Super Bowl 50 victory last year, but he found his way back to Denver this summer after being traded by the Texans and released by the Browns.

He compared his departure from Denver to touching the hot stove as an inquisitive youngster ”and you learn real quick how nice that stove is when it’s not hot.”

Although Osweiler loves Colorado, he might have once again priced himself out of the Broncos’ plans with his superb relief performance last week as he’ll be one of the more experienced quarterbacks to hit free agency this spring.

NOTES: CB Chris Harris Jr. said he feels he didn’t get a Pro Bowl nod because he’s only been targeted 48 times – second fewest among the league’s starting cornerbacks – and therefore couldn’t put up big numbers as he has in the past. He said next season he hopes the Broncos keep him outside and quit moving him into the slot Authentic Ronnie Harrison Jersey , which he said diminishes his chances to make game-changing plays.

CHARLOTTE http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/dj-chark-jersey , N.C. (AP) Julio Jones didn’t know what to expect when Panthers safety Kurt Coleman ran over to him after he’d just dropped an easy touchdown pass in the end zone.

Instead of rubbing it in his face, Coleman put his arm around him and told Jones, ”Glory to God.”

Jones said he had never met or talked to Coleman before that play.

”I guess he’s a very spiritual guy,” Jones said. ”He said some spiritual things to me – that was it.”

No taunting. No antics. Just empathy for a competitor.

Coleman has received positive feedback on social media for his sportsmanship, but downplayed it this week in the locker room.

”No one felt worse than he did,” Coleman said of Jones. ”… In a society where we often criticize others or chastise other people for making mistakes http://www.kansascitychiefsteamonline.com/derrick-nnadi-jersey , we forget that we often make our own.”

It was an unusual display of a sportsmanship between intense division rivals.

Carolina had won three straight NFC South championships before the Falcons wrestled the title away last season. Sunday’s game had huge implications in the division standings with both teams chasing Drew Brees and the first-place New Orleans Saints.

”Let’s not get this wrong, I’m not going to apologize for him dropping the ball,” Coleman said.

Not one expects that. But no one expected Coleman’s reaction either, including Jones. The Atlanta wideout said he was taken aback by Coleman’s graciousness.

The Falcons were trailing 20-10 in the fourth quarter when Jones got behind safety Mike Adams by more than 10 yards on fourth down. He looked over his shoulder to catch Matt Ryan’s pass, but inexplicably dropped the ball.

It was a catch Ryan would later say Jones makes ”100 out of 100 times.” The Falcons would score later in the fourth quarter, but Carolina held on to win 20-17 as Jones’ drop loomed large.

Coleman http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/jalyn-holmes-jersey , who was not involved in the play, ran some 25 yards just to talk to Jones.

”I saw his body language,” Coleman said.

Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, who attends the same church as Coleman, said the gesture ”epitomizes what type of person Kurt is.”

Some Carolina teammates were surprised when they heard what the hard-hitting free safety did.

Others weren’t.

”You’ve got to know what type of person he is,” Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said. ”He’s a spiritual guy. I’m a spiritual guy http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/saquon-barkley-jersey , too – but I don’t think I would have done that at that point in time.”

Coleman said nothing made him do it.

”We’ve all been in position where things haven’t gone our way,” Coleman said. ”I offered encouragement. … I told him after the game he’s a great receiver, I respect him, I respect his game. He makes me play hard.”

It was Jones’ first drop in the end zone since 2012, and he was clearly upset with himself after the mistake. Compounding matters, Jones has just one touchdown catch in what has been a frustrating season for the defending NFC champion Falcons (4-4).

”As a player respecting another player and how great he is http://www.kansascitychiefsteamonline.com/robert-golden-jersey ,” Coleman said. ”I just wanted to tell him, `Glory to God, man, in all things.”’

FRISCO http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/taven-bryan-jersey , Texas (AP) Ezekiel Elliott was back with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday, his six-game suspension over domestic violence allegations on hold again after the star running back served a day of it waiting for another reprieve that eventually came.

Last year’s NFL rushing leader left no doubt that he will keep fighting a legal battle that so far has lasted six weeks with hearings in three courts in three states.

A fourth hearing – and the second in a New York court – should happen before the end of the month.

”It’s fighting for your name, that’s what it is,” Elliott said. ”I think my representatives have done a good job just going out there and fighting for me. It’s been a lot of hard work and it’s definitely a tough job. They’ve definitely served me well.”

Elliott was granted his second temporary restraining order, this one from a New York judge , Tuesday night http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/mike-white-jersey , clearing him to play Sunday at the San Francisco 49ers.

He likely will be eligible the following week at Washington based on the court’s timeline for another hearing.

The 22-year-old Elliott was suspended in August by Commissioner Roger Goodell after the league concluded following a yearlong investigation that he had several physical confrontations in the summer of 2016 with Tiffany Thompson, his girlfriend at the time.

The NFL investigated after prosecutors in Columbus, Ohio, decided not to pursue the case in the city where Elliott starred for Ohio State, citing conflicting evidence. Elliott denied the allegations under oath during his NFL appeal.

”When you get accused of something of that magnitude, you kind of get labeled as an abuser http://www.kansascitychiefsteamonline.com/dorian-o_daniel-jersey ,” Elliott said Wednesday.

”And that’s just not me, that’s not how I want to be seen. That’s not how I want to represent my family. It’s just important for me to fight.”

Elliott’s teammates are behind him, even if it is a distraction. And at least one player is willing to acknowledge it is, along with owner Jerry Jones’ self-induced saga of threatening to bench players who don’t stand for the national anthem. Both issues percolated during the bye last week.

”Just been some tough things going on,” linebacker Justin Durant said. ”Obviously some stuff that’s out of our hands. Trying to deal with it the best way we can.”

Elliott was suspended Tuesday when the Cowboys returned from their week off.

The NFL placed him on the suspended list Friday, a day after a federal appeals court overturned a Texas court’s injunction that had kept Elliott on the field in Weeks 2-5.

With the ruling in New York http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/royce-freeman-jersey , Elliott didn’t miss any practice time. He was on the field for the first full workout Wednesday.

”I don’t find it frustrating,” said quarterback Dak Prescott, who teamed with Elliott last year for a pair of remarkable rookie seasons that helped carry the Cowboys to the best record in the NFC.

”I find that there’s nothing I really can do. Just as I said, we’ll take it week by week. And as of this week, he’s playing so that’s all we’re worried about.”

The Cowboys (2-3) have already matched last season’s loss total, as has Prescott with his interceptions (four).

Since the 49ers are winless at 0-6 http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/connor-williams-jersey , a return to the playoffs could get difficult if Dallas doesn’t win.

But the outlook is already brighter than it was over the weekend, when the Cowboys were thinking they would have to find a way to rebound without their top running back until late November.

”For us it’s really been status quo,” coach Jason Garrett said. ”Control what we can control. We think Zeke’s done an excellent job of focusing on what he needs to do. We certainly try to do that as a football team. So nothing’s really changed from our perspective.”

NOTES: DT Stephen Paea retired last week after consulting with medical staff over a knee injury the 29-year-old had been battling for several weeks. The Cowboys placed him on injured reserve and have yet to fill the roster spot. … All-Pro LB Sean Lee returned to practice during the bye and is expected to play against the 49ers after missing two games with a hamstring injury.
