FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Marouane Fellaini Jersey . -- Its Jacoby Brissetts tryout now.The Patriots third-string quarterback came on in relief against Miami on Sunday after Tom Bradys top substitute was injured, inheriting a 21-point lead from Jimmy Garoppolo before piloting New England to a 31-24 victory.A rookie who was drafted as insurance during Bradys four-game Deflategate suspension, Brissett could be making his first NFL start in four days when the Patriots meet Houston on Thursday night.When its time to go, you just have to make sure youre ready, said Brissett, who completed 6 of 9 passes for 92 yards in his pro debut. Whenever the opportunity comes, youve got to make sure youre ready for it.The Patriots have had one of the most settled quarterback situations in the NFL -- if not league history -- thanks to Brady, who led the team to six Super Bowls, winning four, during his 15-year career. But the job opened temporarily when commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him following an investigation into improperly inflated footballs in the 2015 AFC title game.After serving two years as Bradys understudy, Garoppolo was hoping to use the four-game tryout to show he could be a worthy successor to the two-time league MVP -- or perhaps play himself into a starting job elsewhere if the 40-year-old four-time Super Bowl champion continued to defy his age.In the season-opening victory over against Arizona, Garoppolo was good enough to get the talk radio crowd bloviating about whether Brady should get his job back when he returns. (Belichick said from the start that Brady would be the No. 1 QB in Week 5, and has never wavered .)Against Miami, Garoppolo completed 18 of 27 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns. But he was knocked out the game late in the first half, when Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso drove him to the turf onto his right shoulder.Garoppolo got up and tried to walk it off, but he soon dropped to his knee. The trainers were called out, and Brissett began warming up on the sideline.You hate to see that, receiver Chris Hogan said. He worked so hard for this opportunity. I hope hes OK. I hope he can get back.A third-round draft pick who transferred from Florida to North Carolina State as a junior, Brissett missed on his first two passes but completed six of the next seven. The Patriots ran 26 times with nine passes while he was at quarterback, though they were also trying to milk the clock; he ran four times for a net gain of 10 yards himself.Jacoby, he handled it like a professional, receiver Julian Edelman said.Hes very poised, he said, adding with a laugh, especially for a millennial.Brissett, a third-round draft pick, could have two more games to convince Belichick to keep him around when Brady returns from his suspension in Week 5.The Patriots have often gone with only two quarterbacks on the roster, though Belichick did hold onto Brady as a fourth-stringer after picking him up in the sixth round of the 2000 draft. There are no quarterbacks on the teams practice squad.The Patriots could also bring in someone off the street during the week. Edelman, who played quarterback in college at Kent State and threw a touchdown pass in a 2015 playoff game, would likely be used in an emergency if something happened to Brissett.I wasnt even thinking about that, Edelman said. I was thinking about what I could do to help Jacoby.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL Michael Carrick Jersey . After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times. Morgan Schneiderlin Jersey . The Barrie Colts defenceman, who impressed many with his play for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February rankings.

Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side. FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons star receiver Julio Jones insists the apparent foot injury that limited him from full participation in training camp again on Saturday is no big deal.Jones took part in individual work but was held out of team drills for the second straight day. He was pulled out of the first practice on Thursday. Talking to reporters for the first time in training camp, Jones said the injury is definitely nothing to worry about.Precautionary reasons, Jones said, adding but Im good to go, 100 percent. Just taking it slow.Jones had his left shoe off and was seen rolling his foot over a ball on the sideline during team drills. He has had two surgeries on his right foot.Jones and coach Dan Quinn have not revealed details of the injury. Quinn said a key Saturday was seeing Jones explode and push off it and make him feel comfortable doing that.He looked great doing that, so we anticipate him getting back (for full practice) in the next three or four days, Quinn said.Im not going to rush it, but I think it will be sooner than later, Quinn said. Im not going to say it has to be by tomorrow or has to be by Tuesday, but Id be surprised if it wasnt by tomorrow or Tuesday.The Falcons are off on Monday.Jones, coming off his first All-Pro season, said he often deals with minor injuries.Im just so explosive. I always get something thats tight or something, he said. Its good. I just keep getting treatment and stretching it out. ... But Im good. Its nothing serious or anything like that thats going to prevent me from playing.Jones said he tried to convince Quinn he was ready for full clearance on Friday and Saturday. Sam Johnstone Jersey. Hell be like: `Yeah, its good. I know you can. You know, I dont doubt you at all. But were just going to be on the safe side, Jones said, quoting Quinn.The receiver said he understands the coachs caution.Were not trying to prove nothing to anyone right now, Jones said. Its a long training camp. And weve got the season coming up that weve got to get ready for.Perhaps only quarterback Matt Ryan is as important as Jones to the Falcons hopes this season. Even a small injury to Jones at the start of camp is a big concern, especially after veteran receivers Roddy White and Devin Hester were released. The team signed Mohamed Sanu, but after Eric Weems, there isnt much experience elsewhere on the depth chart at the position.Having Jones watch team drills has meant more snaps for such young receivers as Justin Hardy, who could start in three-receiver sets, Aldrick Robinson, Nick Williams and rookie Devin Fuller. The team signed former Duquesne receiver Chris King, who joined practice on Saturday.Game notes Saturday was the first day in pads, and it was no surprise some players didnt abide by Quinns edict to avoid tackling to the ground. Quinn said he would offer more reminders on the topic of pushing it right to that limit where youve got to go full-speed but youve got to be under control, too.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Stitched Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
