GREEN BAY, Wis. Youth Jaguars Jerseys . -- Clay Matthews has a separated AC joint in his left shoulder, and hes not happy about what caused it.The Green Bay Packers linebacker was injured in Monday nights 27-13 win when?Eagles?right tackle Allen Barbre delivered a blindside block on an end-around in the first quarter.I wasnt a fan of it, Matthews said of Barbres block. I mean, Ive got a lot more to say about it, but Im going to say it behind closed doors. It was a cheap shot, but it is what it is. I ate it. Unfortunately, I landed on my shoulder, and thats kind of what Ive been dealing with since.Matthews said he wasnt sure if it was a legal block by Barbre, who wasnt penalized on the 3-yard gain by Eagles receiver Bryce Treggs.I dont know. They didnt throw a flag probably because I wasnt a quarterback, said Matthews, whose status for Sundays game against Houston remains uncertain. I know all about that.Barbre, who was Matthews teammate in Green Bay during the 2009 season, didnt seem particularly moved by the six-time Pro Bowlers claim.Everyones got their own opinion, Barbre said, via the Delaware New Journal. If I didnt block him, then maybe he wouldve made the tackle. Im here to try to help us win, so I dont really value his opinion. I just want to win.Matthews, who was forced to move to inside linebacker against the Eagles because of injuries to starters Blake Martinez and Jake Ryan, said he took a pain-killing injection in order to return to the game. Safety Morgan Burnett had to take a few snaps at inside linebacker while Matthews was in the locker room getting examined.Im in some pain, no doubt about it, Matthews said. Theres some swelling [and] bruising, but we got an X-ray and nothings broken, so thats good. So well see moving forward the progress I make going into this game. Thats ultimately the goal, but weve got some work to.Earlier Wednesday, coach Mike McCarthy expressed confidence that both Matthews and quarterback Aaron Rodgers would play against the Texans. Rodgers pulled his left hamstring in the third quarter against the Eagles, and his mobility was limited after trainers taped his leg.Although Rodgers said it was too early in the week to tell how the injury might impact him, McCarthy said he did not expect it to be as limiting as the calf injury that Rodgers suffered late in the 2014 season.The calf injury, that was a big injury, McCarthy said Wednesday. We made a ton of adjustments. And for him to play through that was extraordinary. But well see how he is. I really dont want to comment until I see him move around tomorrow.In a rare move, McCarthy did not hold a practice Wednesday. He said that was his plan all along coming off back-to-back night games.It probably doesnt help where Im at physically, but I think [not practicing] is a good idea, Rodgers said.Information from ESPNs?Tim McManus was used in this report. Camo Jaguars Jerseys . "Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning. In this case, it was soccer weather. The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami. Elite Jaguars Jerseys .

The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. RIO DE JANEIRO -- One destroyed racket -- and one poor set -- later, Serena Williams made it safely into the third round of the Rio Olympics as she bids for a second consecutive singles gold medal.The No. 1-seeded American struggled for quite a while Monday night, before emerging with a 7-6 (5), 6-2 victory over Frances Alize Cornet, despite making 36 unforced errors and getting broken four times.I just needed to relax. I was missing shots by, literally, centimeters, and Im not really used to missing those shots, Williams said. I really had to figure out a way to adjust.Williams started well enough, taking the first three games and compiling 17 of the matchs first 21 winners. But then she dropped 5 of 6 games to fall behind 5-4.During that troublesome stretch, Williams reacted to losing two games in a row by mangling the tool of her trade, slamming it against the back of her green-and-white sideline bench before depositing it on the ground. Hardly the first time shes done that sort of thing -- and likely not the last, either.In her previous tournament, Wimbledon, Williams broke a racket after losing the opening set of a second-rounder against American Christina McHale. Williams then flung the racket so far behind her that it landed in the lap of a TV cameraman filming the match.From that point on, Williams didnt drop a set the rest of the way at the All England Club, taking 12 in a row to earn her record-tying 22nd Grand Slam title.She didnt quite generate that sort of spark Monday, 24 hours after she and older sister Venus lost an Olympic doubles match for the first time. They had been 15-0 with three golds, but that run is now over.So, too, is Cornets three-match winning streak against the younger Williams.Thats because Williams cut down on her mistakes in the second set.How?Just tried to add a little bit more spin, she explained. If its going out, maybe Im hitting it a little bit too flat.After three No. 1 seeds exited Sunday -- Serbias Novak Djokovic in mens singles, the Williams sisters in womens doubles, and Frances Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert in mens doubles -- Williams avoided that sort of result in singles. But Djokovics Olympics are over, because after he and Nenad Zimonjic lostt 6-4, 6-4 to Brazils Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares, the 12-time major champion said he will not enter mixed doubles in Rio de Janeiro. Pink Jaguars Jerseys. illiams singles match was touch-and-go for more than an hour. Cornet held a pair of set points in the opener but failed to convert either. Then Williams served for that set at 6-5, only to get broken at love when she double-faulted for the fifth time. In the tiebreaker, Cornet went ahead 5-4 before Williams claimed the next three points and the set.She raced to a 3-0 edge in the second set, and that was pretty much that.No tennis player ever has won two Olympic singles golds -- let alone two in a row. But Williams is not just any player, of course. Which is why it was rather remarkable that Cornet, who is ranked only 48th and never made it past the fourth round of a major in 42 appearances, entered Monday with a 4-3 record against Williams.She knows how to play me, Williams said. Every time I play her, Im not in my best shape.Joining Williams in the third round: No. 2 Angelique Kerber of Germany, No. 3 Garbine Muguruza of Spain and No. 7 Madison Keys of the U.S.Elsewhere, the man who got stuck in an elevator for 40 minutes and then beat Djokovic in singles on Sunday, Argentinas Juan Martin del Potro, got to the third round with another win in singles but lost to Spains Rafael Nadal in doubles.Del Potro produced a 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 victory over Portugals Joao Sousa, before heading back out on court with partner Maximo Gonzalez and getting beaten by Marc Lopez and Nadal 6-3, 5-7, 6-2. Add it all up, and del Potro spent nearly 7 hours on court in a span of barely 25 hours.In a tournament that began without half of the ATPs top 10, del Potro looks like someone who might be able to add another medal to his 2012 bronze.Because of injuries, del Potro went 2 1/2 years without participating in a major until Wimbledon, so one big question is what his fitness level is.Im getting better. Im in good shape, he said, but I dont know if Im prepared to play six or more matches.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
