ORCHARD PARK, N. Mark Streit Flyers Jersey .Y. -- The Bills quarterback competition -- and their expectations in getting off to a fresh start -- are suddenly on indefinite hold with rookie quarterback EJ Manuel to miss the rest of the preseason after hurting his left knee. In a statement released by the team Saturday, coach Doug Marrone said the first-round draft pick would have a "minor knee procedure." The announcement came during the teams day off, and following a 20-16 victory over Minnesota. Its unclear when or how Manuel was hurt. And there had been no indication the rookie first-round draft pick had been bothered by an injury following the game. He took over to start the second half and opened with a 14-play, 80-yard drive capped by a 4-yard touchdown pass to Brad Smith. He finished 10 of 12 for 92 yards in three series. "EJ Manuel had some swelling in his left knee this morning and was examined by our medical staff," Marrone said. "An MRI revealed that he will need to have a minor knee procedure and that has been scheduled. He will miss the remainder of the preseason and then be re-evaluated at that time." The injury is a potentially significant setback for a player regarded the future of the franchise, and the only quarterback selected in the first round in April. He was chosen 16th overall out of Florida State. Manuel is regarded the centre-piece of an off-season offensive overhaul under Marrone. The rookie head coach has been in the process of introducing an up-tempo offence with an emphasis on speed. At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, Manuel is a strong-armed quarterback, who has also has mobility. The injury comes just as Manuel appeared to have taken the edge in an off-season-long quarterback competition with free-agent veteran addition Kevin Kolb. Through two preseason games , Manuel completed 26 of 33 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns, and ran four times for 29 yards. Kolb had just returned to practice last week after missing eight days with a twisted left knee, he hurt while slipping on a wet rubber mat during practice on Aug. 3. In starting against Minnesota on Friday, Kolb got off to a slow start. He finished 13 of 21 for 111 yards passing and an interception. Washington State rookie Jeff Tuel is the third-string quarterback. Kolb will now start against Washington on next Saturday. Kolb signed with the Bills in the off-season after starting 21 of 32 career games played in a six-year career with Philadelphia and Arizona. Hes thrown for 28 touchdowns and 25 interceptions while being sacked 77 times in a career that started as a 2nd round draft pick of the Eagles in 2007. Marrone also says backup receiver Kevin Elliott will miss the season after tearing a ligament in his left knee. The Bills return to practice Sunday morning at their training camp facility in suburban Rochester on Sunday. Jakub Voracek Flyers Jersey . Irving scored 23 points, Tristan Thompson had 20 points and 10 rebounds and the Cavaliers beat the Denver Nuggets 117-109 on Friday night. Eric Lindros Flyers Jersey . Durant finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds, Jackson matched his career high with 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting and Lamb scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting, lifting the Thunder to a 94-88 win over San Antonio and snapping the Spurs 11-game winning streak. http://www.nhlflyersproauthentic.com/ron-hextall-hockey-jersey/ . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. Its a moment that changed Jarrod Crokers NRL career and one he will never forget.But it almost never happened.Late one Monday afternoon in December 2014, the young centre was told he might be Canberras next captain.Coach Ricky Stuart, though, wasnt 100 per cent sure.He told me to go and talk to my old man about it because he knows Im very close with him, Croker said.I did a weight session, went home and was just a bit quiet.Greg Croker, like his son, isnt very opinionated and didnt have much to say.But he said go in there and tell him you want it anyway, Croker told AAP.He was obviously confident Id be able to do it, he wanted me to be positive about it all and let him know I did want to do it.While he had played 140 games over six seasons in the NRL, he was still only 24.He captained the last three games of the 2014 season and won them all, but the Raiders finished second-last.I can understand the hesitation, Croker said.I was such a young player.The next morning, we were heading out somewhere for a promo, and before I even got to really think about it too much, he rang me back and said Na, its yours. I want you to do it.He said he had all the confidencce in me and straight away was like Mate, were going to get through it together. Bernie Parent Jersey. Well tough it out, and if theres any dramas well be sweet.He told me to do it my way, it was my job, and that I dont have to change on or off the field for anyone or anything.Im glad he went with me. Its probably the proudest moment of my career.Croker will lead the club in their first preliminary final since the 1997 Super League season, against Melbourne at AAMI Park on Saturday night.He finished the regular season as the leagues highest pointscorer by 91 points - the biggest margin in the NRL era, smashing the Raiders all-time pointscoring record along the way.If he scores four points this weekend, he will become the first centre to crack 300 in a single campaign.Just one point and he will surpass the 2006 mark of Hazem El Masri, with whom he sits equal-third on the all-time list of most points in a season.If Im scoring points, then generally were playing good footy and were winning games - thats the most pleasing side of it for me.
