BEREA, Ohio -- Quarterback Robert Griffin III is on pace to return before the Cleveland Browns season ends, Sashi Brown, the teams vice president of football operations, said Monday.He looks like hes on pace to come back later this year, Brown said.If thats the case, thats great news, Griffin said with a smile.Sources tell ESPNs Josina Anderson that there have been discussions about Griffin possibly returning to practice this week.Griffin started the season opener in Philadelphia but broke his coracoid bone late in the 29-10 loss to the Eagles. Griffin worked out and threw before the Browns loss to the Ravens on Thursday in Baltimore. He said it was not the first time he threw.Coach Pep [Hamilton] and a bunch of the guys have been helping me, staying after practice and throwing a little bit, Griffin said.Griffin will have another bone scan in the next week or two, after which he could be cleared to practice or even play. That would indicate the Browns might wait until after the bye week Dec. 4 to bring Griffin back, but, even if they do, his starting job is not guaranteed.That wont necessarily be given to him, Brown said. That will be Hues [coach Hue Jacksons] decision.I think hes getting closer, Jackson said. Until I can get him out there will I make a plan for him and know exactly what we want to do. I think today would be premature to make that decision.The Browns have 21 days after Griffin starts practicing to decide whether he will be placed on the active roster.Griffin said hes merely trying to stay as healthy as he can. The on-field workout in Baltimore was part of that process.Just getting back in the swing of things, he said. Throwing the ball, tossing the ball around a little bit. It felt good.He made it clear he wants to play if he is cleared.I know the city is disappointed (with an 0-10 record), Griffin said. These guys in this locker room are disappointed, as well. We got six games left this year, a chance to finish strong. If I got a chance to be a part of that, I definitely want to.Griffin said that at one point he worried whether he could come back this season.You just want to make sure youre healing, fully healed before you get back out there, he said Theres a difference in throwing a football around and 350 (pounds) landing on top of you.Griffin signed a two-year contract with the Browns in March. He is due a $750,000 roster bonus after this season that would keep him for the second season. Brown did not get into the teams long-term plans but did discuss Griffins short season.Durability obviously has been something thats followed him, Brown said. We talked about that in his press conference here opening up. Unfortunately (it) reared its head here again for him. We were all disappointed for him. He worked his tail off to understand the offense and to position himself to start for us, and he gets hurt after a few quarters of play. Brooks Orpik Jersey . Louis Cardinals. Victorino is batting sixth and playing right field after missing two games because of back tightness. Tyler Graovac Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. http://www.shopcapitalsonline.com/Capitals-Madison-Bowey-Adidas-Jersey/ . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. Nathan Walker Jersey . Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night. Dale Hunter Jersey .

ASHBURN, Va. -- Matt Jones will miss the rest of the preseason with a left shoulder injury, but the Washington Redskins hope their top running back will be ready for the start of the regular season.Coach Jay Gruden said Jones will be held out of the Redskins final two preseason games after spraining his shoulder Friday against the New York Jets. Gruden said Jones has already made significant strides since the injury and has high hopes hell be ready by the regular-season opener Sept. 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.We think the recovery time will be pretty quick, Gruden said Monday. He could be a little sore, but I think hes going to be fine.Jones ran for 490 yards and three touchdowns and caught another touchdown in 13 games as a rookie last season before going down with a hip injury. He became the Redskins No. 1 back after they let Alfred Morris leave for Dallas in free agency.The 23-year-old is getting stim treatments for blood flow and worked out on the sideline during practice Monday. He said he was feeling much better and isnt worried about missing out on game action.I dont feel like this is even a setback, because I take mental reps on the field, Jones said. It feels better knowing I did it in the preseason. Im not saying that preseason doesnt matter, I do want to still get better, but Ive got some time to get ready for the first game.Washington had little experience at the running back position even before Jones got hurt. He and third-down back Chris Thompson are the only players on the roster with NFL game experience, and the Redskins will lean heavily on rookies Robert Kelley and Keith Marshall and second-year player Mack Brown the rest of the preseason.Kelley replaced Jones as the top back against New York and could start Friday in the third preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.I think he and Keith will get the lions share of the carriees, Gruden said.dddddddddddd We want to see them in game situations against a good Buffalo team.Even if Jones is back by the opener, all eyes are on Kelley, an undrafted rookie out of Tulane, and Marshall, a seventh-round pick out of Georgia, to see what they can do. Teammates are impressed by their habits in practice, but Friday night at FedEx Field in the exhibition dress rehearsal for real games is a different animal.Im excited to see how they do, especially with a prime-time opportunity like theyre getting, said left tackle Trent Williams, whos set to make his preseason debut against the Bills after battling a sore right knee. We have a lot of faith in those backs. They show a lot of promise, theyve got a lot of talent, but obviously theyve got to put in the field on Friday and well have a better picture of it after that.Gruden has given no indication so far that Washington will look externally for running back depth, and Kelley, Marshall and Brown will get chances to keep it that way.Thats why were here, Kelley said. Thats why you have backups, for somebody to step up and take the place of that starter while hes down. When he gets back well be back doing our role on the team.Quarterback Kirk Cousins, who was held out of the Jets game to rest, recalled his own experience as a young player and hopes to help the young running backs Friday as they fill in for Jones.It stretches you as a player and its going to get you to where you need to be that much faster, Cousins said. I think its a really good thing for them. There may be some growing pains here and there, but thats what the preseason is for: to see what they can do, what they cant do.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Jerseys NFL Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic China Jerseys Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping ' ' '
