Known as siQ, the test was designed by Vasu Kulkarni, the founder of Krossover, a New York sports video analysis company. The NFL is relying more than ever on analytics,Al Horford Jersey, but the Dolphins are the only team using siQ, said Kulkarni, who introduced them to it last year.
When the Dolphins first used siQ at the 2015 NFL combine, the range of results was wide, with a handful of players standing out,Wholesale China Jerseys, Kulkarni said.
"We'd say, is the quarterback going to hand off or throw? Is this man or zone defense?" Kulkarni said.
They're giving NFL prospects a new set of questions.
In other words: how well a player can predict what will happen next.
The test grades a prospect's response to situations by showing a formation or a play in progress. When the video freezes,Cheap Rams Jerseys, the prospect is given multiple choices on how to respond.
For the Dolphins, the bottom line regarding the test's impact will be their won-loss data.
"We think it's a tool we can use long term," Tannenbaum said.
The test provides information the Dolphins don't get elsewhere by measuring instincts, which can be difficult to quantify, executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum said.
"It will be interesting if we can gather several years' worth of data and look over the career of a player,Kanken Backpack Sale, and show that the guys who did well on the test wound up having good careers in the NFL," he said.
Kulkarni said he can envision the test being used eventually as a training tool, allowing a team to spend less time on the practice field. He looks forward to judging the value of siQ in evaluating prospects.

Kulkarni developed his test and demonstrated it to Tannenbaum, who was immediately intrigued. So was the coaching staff. Position coaches submitted to Kulkarni questions they wanted to pose, and he integrated archival Dolphins video into the app.
Joe Philbin was then the head coach, and his assistants used the test at the 2015 combine.
"It's one more data point," Kulkarni said. "If you're on the fence about a guy,New England Patriots Jersey Cheap, or there are two guys with similar physical abilities, maybe this is one of those factors that can be a tiebreaker."
"It has been very helpful in assessing aptitude," Tannenbaum said. "It gives us insight on how people think, and how rapidly they make decisions."
The prospect is graded for the accuracy of his answer, and also on the speed of the response, which is tested in milliseconds.
Kulkarni said he began contemplating a test of situational awareness a few years ago while watching football and other sports on TV.
Miami is using a mobile app that assesses a prospect's reaction to specific formations and plays. The test was administered on iPads at the NFL combine and during one-on-one visits with potential draft picks, and coach Adam Gase's assistants tailored questions to fit the needs of the position they coach.
MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Dolphins believe they have the answers to help solve their draft deficiencies of recent years.
The app might not be a game changer, but perhaps it gives the Dolphins an edge. They could use one after a succession of spotty drafts and a seven-year playoff drought.
"There were a lot of guys taking seven, eight, nine seconds to answer a question," Kulkarni said. "In a game you don't have that much time."
The Dolphins are understandably coy about the test, but first-year Miami coach Gase embraces such measurements. At 38 he's the NFL's youngest head coach and eager to take advantage of the team's analytics department.
"Every coach from the Dolphins organization had an iPad and would hand it to prospects," Kulkarni said. "The questions they had created, half I didn't even understand. But these guys felt like if you can't answer that question, you're in for trouble in the NFL."
"The hardest thing about the analytic stuff is asking the right questions," Gase said. "Because those guys will give you whatever you want. You just have to ask the right questions."
The Dolphins have expanded their use of the app in the past year.
"I kept hearing color commentators saying, 'That's a high-IQ player,'" he recalled. "I said, 'What does that mean?'"

"I don't want to say he was in top form, but he was in pretty doggone good form," Rivera said.
"I'm just so proud of those guys," Proehl said. "They've worked so hard, and to see them go out there and do what they did tonight, it warms my heart. They're like my kids. To see them go out there and perform like they did, that's such a confidence builder for them."
"I'm just happy for him," Panthers wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl said. "It's a confidence builder. You go out and perform like he did, make catches over the middle,Allen Robinson Jersey, make contested catches with somebody draped on him, it was huge. Anytime you get that first catch out of the way, it's huge,Arthur Moats Jersey, especially coming off an injury."
Coach Ron Rivera admitted he was impressed.
The Panthers had the league's top scoring offense last season and finished 17-2 despite losing Benjamin. The team is excited about adding him to the mix.
Benjamin was not made available for interviews.
Stephen Hill, who also tore an ACL in his knee last year in training camp,Steelers Color Rush Jersey Cheap, and Philly Brown, who is coming off shoulder surgery, also made big catches during practice.
The 25-year-old Benjamin wasn't the only wide receiver to have a solid night following a return from an injury.
Benjamin ran swift, sharp routes and showed no ill effects from last year's surgery. He leaped in the air to snag two passes and reached behind to grab another.
SPARTANBURG,Wholesale Nike Shoes Online, S.C. (AP) — Kelvin Benjamin made an impressive return to the football field Thursday night as the defending NFC champion Carolina Panthers opened training camp.
"Kelvin's retention as far what we're doing, he handled that really well by the way he ran the routes and attacked the football," Rivera said. "There will be a lot of good things for us to see on tape."
Rivera said that starting defensive tackle Star Lotulelei was held out of practice as a precautionary measure after his hamstring tightened up in conditioning tests on Wednesday,Cheap Jerseys From China.

Benjamin had 73 receptions for 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie in 2014, but tore his ACL last August at training camp and missed the team's run to the Super Bowl.
In his first practice since tearing the ACL in his left knee last August, Benjamin made four tough catches, reminding the more than 22,445 fans at Gibbs Stadium of just how valuable the 6-foot-5, 245-pound wide receiver is to the Panthers offense.

"You're still statistically Fjallraven Kanken Backpack Australia looking at a group that's Blake Swihart Jersey done very well per pass NHL Jerseys Wholesale attempt," Payton said.
Indeed, the Saints Nike Just Do It Scarpe Air Max rank eighth in the NFL in that Rams Throwback Jersey 2019 department.

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller referred to Trump's recent words as "an assault on our most cherished right, freedom of speech."

Jake Elliott is a rookie kicker who just a week ago missed a 30-yard gimme field-goal attempt and shanked an extra point. So it came as quite a surprise to see him paraded off the field on teammates' shoulders after squeezing a 61-yard field goal just inside the right upright as time ran out to give the Philadelphia Eagles a 27-24 win over the NFC East rival New York Giants. It was the longest kick in Eagles history and longest ever by an NFL rookie; the longest in league history went 64 yards.
(Not to get too cynical about how these scenes were orchestrated, but both teams tweeted out images of those owners in the pregame arm-in-arm pose with the one-word caption "Unity." Also worth keeping in mind: Khan and Snyder were among at least seven team owners who gave money to Trump's inauguration committee.)
NO FAVORITES LEAGUE
If you claim you were sure of any of those outcomes, you're a genius ... or you're lying.
Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan locked arms with players as "The Star-Spangled Banner" was performed before the first game of the morning Sunday in London. Eleven hours later, Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder did the same before the last game of the night not too far from the White House. It was a symbolic gesture by two of the very men called upon by President Donald Trump to punish NFLers for making any sort of Colin Kaepernick-esque statement during the national anthem.
LANDOVER,Nike Vapormax Plus Scontate, Md. (AP) — They were memorable images bookending a day around the NFL that will remain memorable — for absolutely nothing at all to do with football itself.
This is the sort of "Any Given Sunday" status of the league that helped drive the sport to massive popularity.
This was, all in all, an unusual day for the NFL, one when the most significant discussion about the nation's most popular sport had nothing to do with concussions or a late TD catch or a blocked kick.
SHERMAN'S DAY
"It's sad that we have to go through stuff like that," Norman said, "but at the end of the day, (if) we unite as one,Zapatillas Nike Baratas, nobody's going to divide us."
JAKE'S MAKE
After Trump drew sports into politics in an unprecedented manner, more than 200 players knelt or sat on a bench or raised a fist or, in the case of most of the Pittsburgh Steelers , remained indoors as national anthems echoed through stadiums. A week ago, a half-dozen players took a stance.
Some spectators applauded the moves. Others booed ,Cheap Old Skool Vans For Sale.
The Seahawks' impressive run as a Super Bowl champion and annual contender is looking like it might just be nearing an end, and cornerback Richard Sherman certainly did not have his best performance against the Titans. Late in the first quarter, he drew three penalties on a single play. In the second, he nearly incited an all-out brawl between the teams with a late, high hit on QB Marcus Mariota.
And Norman was hardly the only one offering opinions about the president.
There were still games played, of course. So in case you missed it, here are the other top topics after the season's third Sunday:
In the locker room later, Norman said Trump is "not welcome here in Washington" and that the president's remarks in the preceding 48 hours amounted to "taking on 1,Air Force Scontate,800 men" — roughly the number of NFL players.
Be honest: Who expected Norman's Redskins to shut down Derek Carr and the rest of the Raiders? Or Mike Glennon's Chicago Bears to beat the Steelers 23-17 in OT ? Or Blake Bortles and the Jaguars to wallop the Baltimore Ravens 44-7 ? Or Josh McCown and the New York Jets to top the Miami Dolphins 20-6 ,China Jerseys Wholesale? Or the Buffalo Bills to outscore Miller and the Denver Broncos 26-16 ? Or the Tennessee Titans to run at will in a 33-27 win against the Legion of Boom and the Seattle Seahawks?
New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton, for example, said the country needs "a little bit more wisdom in that office."
Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, one of the players at Snyder's side Sunday, told a national television audience via NBC's broadcast of Washington's 27-10 victory over the Oakland Raiders that it was "one demonstration I feel, just, we had to do, just because of the tyranny that we face" from Trump.

Fortt was a fourth-round pick of the Saints in the 2014 draft out of California,Wholesale Shoes Canada, but was released midway through the season. He spent time with Cincinnati and Jacksonville later in the 2014 season,Nike Schuhe Gro?handel, but was cut by the Jaguars during training camp before the start of the 2015 season.
RENTON,Cheap Air Max 720 UK, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks have signed linebacker Khairi Fortt after waiving linebacker Christian French due to an injury.
Seattle made the roster moves on Monday. French,Nike NFL China Wholesale, an undrafted free agent out of Oregon signed with Seattle following the NFL draft. He appeared to suffer an injury on the final day of rookie minicamp.

The Jaguars traded up one spot to select Alabama offensive tackle Cam Robinson with the 34th overall pick Friday night,Cheap Football Jerseys, giving the franchise what it believes will be a cornerstone to play alongside Fournette for years to come. Jacksonville gave Seattle its sixth-round pick (No. 187 overall) to swap spots in the second round.
General manager Dave Caldwell said Robinson will compete with newly acquired left tackle Branden Albert, who is skipping the team's voluntary offseason program in hopes of getting a new contract.
The 32-year-old Albert signed a five-year,Harrison Barnes Jersey, $47 million contract with the Miami Dolphins in 2014. The deal included $26 million guaranteed, all of which was paid over the last three seasons. Albert is due a base salary of $8.875 million this season and $9.575 million in 2018.
Robinson took a visit to Jacksonville, and Caldwell, coach Doug Marrone and executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin held a private workout with him last week in Alabama.
Robinson, the 2016 Outland Trophy winner as the country's best lineman, will get every chance to take over as a rookie and solidify a position that's been mostly unstable since Tony Boselli's career-ending shoulder injury in 2001. Mike Pearson, Khalif Barnes, Eugene Monroe, Luke Joeckel and Kelvin Beachum all failed to develop into long-term solutions at the premier spot.
"He's a tough kid. He's a big, big man. He's 320-plus pounds and he's probably going to go into the 330-plus pounds at some point in time," Caldwell said. "He's got some developing to do. He's just a third-year junior so he's got some work to do in the weight room and we think that eventually this guy could be a big, big massive man on the left side of the offensive line. ...
"We were never going to alter it to begin with," said Caldwell, who traded a seventh-round draft pick to acquire Albert last month.
The Jaguars can't fine Albert for his absences, but drafting Robinson sends a strong message that Albert's starting job — maybe even his roster spot — is in jeopardy. Albert, who has missed 20 games over the last five seasons, had been considered a stop-gap solution at the all-important left tackle spot.
All the attention was on Robinson and Fournette, who was formally introduced in Jacksonville on Friday. Robinson and Fournette have strong ties. Not only did they play annually in the Southeastern Conference, they were the top two high school recruits in Louisiana in 2014.
Smoot totaled 137 tackles and 16 ? sacks in 44 games for the Fighting Illini. He will start his NFL career playing behind veteran Calais Campbell.

"It's going to be really cool," Robinson said. "I've known Leonard for a while. We came out of high school in the same class, both from Louisiana. He was the No. 1 player in the state. I was the No. 2 player in the state. It's going to be fun."
Robinson started all 43 games in his three-year college career. The 6-foot-6,Buffalo Bills Apparel Clearance, 320-pound Robinson was widely regarded as a first-round draft pick, but some believe his play leveled off after his freshman season. He also was arrested last May on a misdemeanor charge of carrying a weapon in the presence of narcotics. Robinson also was charged with felony possession of stolen firearms. The district attorney's office eventually decided not to prosecute.
"As you guys have told me for three years now, we've got to upgrade the offensive line," Caldwell said. "I'm starting to listen to you."
"I'm ready to learn and work as hard as I can for the team," Smoot said.
"He's got some nasty to him and he'll look to finish plays,Fjallraven Kanken Saldi. He's a big man and he can cover people up pretty quickly."
Although the Jaguars are expected to address mostly offensive needs in the three-day draft,Miami Dolphins Jersey Clearance, they chose Illinois defensive end Dawuane Smoot in the third round. Jacksonville took Smoot with the 68th overall pick, leaving it with four picks Saturday.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A night after landing running back Leonard Fournette with the fourth pick in the NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars took a big step to fortify his blocking.

Despite the myriad problems, the Raiders head into a two-week road trip to Florida tied for first with Denver, a half-game ahead of the Chiefs. The offense has frequently bailed out the struggling defense with Carr leading second-half comebacks to beat New Orleans, Baltimore and San Diego.
Boy, did they ever.
It all starts with a defense that is on pace to allow the most yards per play (6.9) in the NFL since the 1970 merger. It has been an equal opportunity defense that ranks 30th in yards per carry allowed (4,Seahawks Jersey Youth Cheap.81) and 31st in yards per pass attempt (8.9).
Del Rio said the issues start with communication: getting the play from the sideline to the huddle quickly enough and then passing that information on to the 11 defenders on the field. The Raiders are using three rookie starters on defense — defensive lineman Jihad Ward, linebacker Cory James and safety Karl Joseph — and three other starters in their first year with the team, possibly adding to the issues.
"When things don't go the way you want,NMD Cheap Real, each man looks and sees what he can do better,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys," Del Rio said. "We're going to ask each guy, every play, every coach to do something, do one thing better this week than you did last week."

Add it all up and the Raiders fell 26-10 to the Chiefs and failed in their opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the AFC West.
NOTES: DL Mario Edwards Jr. (hip) will start running on the side this week and will return to practice for the first time since training camp once he is cleared by doctors. ... Del Rio said RB Latavius Murray (toe) is getting healthier and is "anxious to return."
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — A thorough beating by the Kansas City Chiefs did little to change coach Jack Del Rio's opinion of his Oakland Raiders team.
The defense got gashed by Spencer Ware and Alex Smith in the latest in a run of bad performances,Air Max 720 UK Sale, Derek Carr and the offense managed just one field goal after scoring a touchdown on the opening drive, usually reliable kicker Sebastian Janikowski missed a 52-yard field goal and the punt coverage unit allowed Tyreek Hill to have a 50-yard return that set up a Kansas City score.
Del Rio said he believes it is easier to make corrections following a loss instead of a win, when players might get complacent.
"We can't dismiss the fact that yesterday didn't go the way we wanted," Del Rio said. "But we are after six games sitting here 4-2 tied atop our division."
Carr just couldn't deliver on Sunday , committing two turnovers in the loss.
"We have a real good team,Andrus Peat Jersey," he said Monday. "Had a bad day yesterday."
"When that cleans up, it will alleviate a lot of the issues we're having," Del Rio said. "That's why I remain very confident in this football team and our ability to grow as the year goes on. There are young players. That's not an alibi, that's just reality. I think as they gain confidence, they'll continue to grow and our communication will be better and better."
For the first time since Del Rio's first game as coach, the Raiders (4-2) never really had a chance late as they played their first fourth quarter without being within one score at any point since a 33-13 loss to Cincinnati to open the 2015 season.

As the final seconds ticked away in a loss that dropped the Browns to 0-2, Jackson took Kizer aside for a little chat.
After playing well in a season-opening loss to Pittsburgh, Kizer struggled in his first road game against another strong defense .
Kizer is thankful to get the chance to work on a coach who will allow him to grow in a game situation for a team that desperately wants to win.
BALTIMORE (AP) — Playing against the Baltimore Ravens defense turned out to be a real headache for Cleveland Browns rookie DeShone Kizer.
"I don't feel like I was ever in a rhythm today," Kizer said. "Baltimore has a good defense that made it hard for us."
Long before he threw the last of his three interceptions Sunday, Kizer left the game with a migraine. He returned in the third quarter, but the former Notre Dame starter never quite found a comfort level in a 24-10 defeat.
That, however, wasn't connected to the migraine that forced him to miss four series.
"There were some unfortunate things,Wholesale China Football Jerseys, but there's things that he will grow from because they need to happen,Atlanta Falcons Wholesale Jerseys," Jackson said. "You've got to keep your poise."
"Me and him had a great conversation on the sideline. He gets it. I think he understand more than ever: If you turn the ball over, your team doesn't get cracks at it.
"Coach Jackson has been real good to me," he said. "Everything is a blessing — the good, the bad and the ugly."
He ran for 26 yards and moved the Browns on several drives, but coach Hue Jackson must have been furious when Kizer waited too long in the pocket before being hit and fumbling in the first quarter.
In addition to his three interceptions — two in the fourth quarter — Kizer also lost a fumble and was sacked twice . He went 15 for 31 for 182 yards and finished with a miserable 27,Wholesale Vans Shoes For Sale.3 quarterback rating.
Kizer shouldn't feel too badly about how things went. The Ravens, after all,Cheap Wholesale Shoes Free Shipping, picked off veteran quarterback Andy Dalton four times in a 20-0 win over Cincinnati one week earlier.
Inexperience is the main issue for Kizer, an athletic quarterback who at this point is exceptionally inconsistent.
"My migraines are hereditary," he said. "That had nothing to with what happened in the game. When I came back in the second half, I was fine."
"He will grow from this."
The rookie might also have trouble explaining a fourth-quarter interception by Lardarius Webb in the end zone on a second-and-goal at the 7,Brice Butler Jersey.
"It's go back to the fundamentals, back to playing with urgency," Jackson said. "He's not going to play every game perfectly. I know that.

Lawyers for the league did not immediately comment,Adidas Stan Smith Clearance.
The appeals court is hearing the National Football League's appeal of a judge's ruling that nullified the league's four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The union has asked the court to uphold the lower court's decision,Bob Cousy Jersey.
Goodell affirmed Brady's suspension in July,Wholesale Adidas Shoes China, concluding Brady conspired with his team's ball handlers to underinflate balls at January's AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Patriots won the game 45-7.

The lawyers made the claim in papers filed Monday with the 2nd U.S,Football Cheap Jerseys. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan. Oral arguments are scheduled for March,Arthur Moats Jersey.
NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for the NFL Players Association have told a federal appeals court that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was making a "sweeping grab for power" in the "Deflategate" controversy.

"I feel like what we did in the second half was to be commended, but obviously we didn't get it done," Jones said.
So much for the fuss over the Packers' struggling offense.
"I'm one that usually doesn't show too much emotion. I'd rather just the hand the ball in and continue on," Nelson said. "But if that's what it takes for guys to feel that energy . I mean, it does."

INJURY REPORT
But Green Bay's staunch run defense had another big day, albeit against a Lions offense playing without injured tailback Ameer Abdullah. Detroit managed just 50 yards on 23 carries, with a team-high 38 yards on 10 carries by Dwayne Washington.
The Green Bay Packers offense is having fun again heading into an early bye week.
The Lions almost pulled off another comeback after rallying to beat Indianapolis 39-35 in the season opener.
The Lions gained chunks of yardage in the second half after being forced to play catch-up following Green Bay's big early lead. The Packers' defense was also missing four starters,Cheap Football Jerseys, including linebacker Clay Matthews.
Aaron Rodgers threw for 205 yards and four touchdowns, including two in the first half to Nelson, and the Packers built a big early lead before holding off the Detroit Lions for a 34-27 win Sunday.
There is still a lot of work to do for the Packers to get back to that level of production. Still, this was the just kind of performance that the offense needed to shake off the struggles from the 17-14 loss in Week 2 to Minnesota.
GET DEFENSIVE
Lions: S Tavon Wilson left in the first quarter with a neck injury. It was another blow for a defense already without lineman Ezekiel Ansah and linebacker DeAndre Levy.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Jordy Nelson tossed the ball high into the air after catching his second touchdown pass of the day,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, a gesture that passes for a rare display of emotion for the workmanlike wide receiver.
"Offensively, the focus was to be a good, healthy mix of run and pass, so we accomplished that today," McCarthy said.
Just like back in 2014, when the Rodgers-to-Nelson combination was one of the best passing game tandems in the NFL.
"Just got on the same page. Hitting Jordy for some big plays helps," Rodgers said. "Jordy and I connected. Whenever we're doing that,Wholesale Shoes China Free Shipping, it kind of opens other things up for the offense."
"No question, there's going to be good stuff we did and there's going to be some negative stuff," Stafford said. "I'm going to look as hard as anybody in the mirror and find out what I can do to be better to help our team win."
"Coming into this week, we felt that as an offense that we just weren't having enough fun. We wanted to bring some extra energy to the game," Nelson said.
Jones had a career-high 205 yards on six receptions and two scores. He gave the Lions a boost going into halftime with a 73-yard touchdown catch ,Camo China Football Jerseys, during which Jones stiff-armed cornerback Josh Hawkins before sprinting untouched 45 yards into the end zone.
The Packers led 31-10 at halftime before the Lions (1-2) slowly chipped away.
Marvin Jones' 35-yard touchdown catch with 3:34 left got Detroit (1-2) within seven. But Rodgers had a critical 11-yard run on third-and-8 from the Packers 27 with about 3 minutes left to effectively seal the win.
Rodgers was 15 of 24, leading the Packers (2-1) to touchdowns on their first three series. Nelson had 101 yards on six catches, returning to the form that made him one of the NFL's best receivers before missing the 2015 season with a knee injury.
Matthew Stafford passed for 385 yards and three scores with one interception for the Lions, who had advantages in total yardage (418-324) and time of possession, holding the ball for 35 minutes.
PACK IS BACK
Coach Mike McCarthy and Rodgers heard questions about the out-of-sync passing game following the loss to Minnesota. The Packers burned Detroit's secondary with big plays to build a big lead, and Eddie Lacy ran for 103 yards on 17 carries.

The NFL contends Mazzant's ruling was an unnecessary interference in the league's labor deal with the players.
If the ruling isn't made by Tuesday, the NFL is asking for a decision by Sept. 26, the start of practice before Dallas' Week 4 home game against the Los Angeles Rams.

"Put differently, the six-game suspension approved by the arbitrator will ultimately stand, and no one's interests are served by delaying that discipline based on a misguided order by a district court that lacked jurisdiction," the NFL wrote in its motion.
The 22-year-old Elliott was suspended by Commissioner Roger Goodell in August after the league concluded following a yearlong investigation that he had several physical confrontations last summer in Ohio with his girlfriend at the time,Air Force One Scontate. The NFL players' union sued on Elliott's behalf.
Three years ago, the NFL stiffened its domestic violence policy with the six-game standard and more investigative power. The changes came after the league was sharply criticized for its handling of a domestic incident involving former Baltimore running back Ray Rice.
In its emergency motion, the NFL reiterated previous arguments that Elliott's attorneys sued prematurely because arbitrator Harold Henderson had yet to rule on the running back's appeal of the suspension.  The appeal was denied the same day as arguments over the request for an injunction from Mazzant in Sherman, Texas,Stitched NFL Jerseys, about 65 miles north of Dallas.
Elliott rushed for 1,631 yards as a rookie to help the Cowboys to the best record in the NFC at 13-3. He had 104 yards in the opener against the Giants.
The NFL ultimately wants to get the case moved from Texas to the Southern District of New York. That was the venue for the league's successful appeal after a federal judge had overturned New England quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension in the "Deflategate" case.
According to the letter Elliott received informing him of the suspension last month, the NFL believed he used "physical force" three times in a span of five days in a Columbus, Ohio, apartment last July resulting in injuries to Thompson's face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, wrists, hips and knees. Prosecutors in Columbus decided about a year ago not to pursue the case in the city where Elliott starred for Ohio State, but the NFL kept the investigation open. The league said its conclusions were based on photographs,Zaino Kanken Outlet, text messages and other electronic evidence.
Mazzant's ruling took aim at Henderson and the NFL , saying decisions not to allow Goodell and Tiffany Thompson,Titans Jersey, the ex-girlfriend, to testify at the appeal were among several factors unfair to Elliott. The NFL has maintained that it followed all procedures for discipline in the collective bargaining agreement.
The league filed its request with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans,Discount Shoes Online, even though a federal judge in Texas hasn't ruled on a request to put the injunction on hold while an appeal is pursued. The emergency motion asks the court to rule on the request to suspend U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant's injunction as early as Tuesday, the start of the practice week before the Cowboys' third game of the season against Arizona.
Elliott had already been cleared to play in a 19-3 win over the New York Giants in the season opener before Mazzant granted his request for an injunction. Last year's NFL rushing leader will play Sunday at Denver under Mazzant's ruling.
The NFL filed an emergency motion in federal appeals court Friday, hoping to get a swift ruling on its request to overrule a judge who blocked a six-game suspension for star Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott in a domestic violence case in Ohio.

Tavarres King,Adidas Superstar Wholesale China, who replaced Shepard with the starting unit, rolled his ankle on Thursday covering a punt. He also did not work out Friday.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The left ankle that New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard rolled in a training camp practice earlier this week is on the mend.
The second-year wide receiver who was the team's second-leading receiver as a rookie said he walked well on an underwater treadmill Friday. He had no timetable for getting back to practice,Cheap Shoes Australia.
"I think it was a little over-exaggeration," Shepard said. "I saw something online that said I was coming off the field in tears. It was pretty amazing cause you guys (reporters) were two fields over and I had on a mirrored visor. That scared some people and definitely scared my mother."

The 23-year-old said he was initially worried because he felt the ankle pop and there was a good amount of pain,Zapatillas Nike Espa?a.
An MRI was negative and the final diagnosis was a rolled ankle and a bone bruise, Shepard said.
"I didn't think it was going to be too good," Shepard said.
Shepard was hurt Wednesday when he planted his foot running a short pass route and the grass gave a bit,Authentic MLB Jerseys, rolling his ankle roughly 90 degrees.
Shepard said that he has not taped his ankles since joining the Giants, saying that most taping loosens and does not protect the ankle. He said he might tape his ankles for a while when he returns.
Shepard walked into a post-practice media session Friday and said his ankle is feeling pretty good.
A second-round draft pick from Oklahoma,World Baseball Classic Jerseys Outlet, Shepard had 65 catches for 683 yards and eight touchdowns last season playing mostly in the slot.
Shepard said his mom was 'flipping out' when she read reports of his injury on social networks.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Being in the playoff chase with four games left in the season has Tom Coughlin excited.
"Coach Coughlin is a very energetic person every day," Jenkins said. "He always has energy, he's always enthusiastic to be here and you have to admire it."
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said it's great that Coughlin is still fired up and lets the team know how he feels.

I've said it many times before, we have to take care of our own business,Hydro Flask Sverige, but to be in a circumstance where we're in the hunt is a good and exciting thing. And I think the players realize that."
It was wiped out on Monday when Dallas got a late field goal to beat Washington and create the three-way tie in the NFC East, with all three teams having 5-7 records.
"He understands where we're at and where we can go and still can go," the veteran cornerback said. "So it's always good to see that coming from the head man."
"I have seen the jumping jacks," quarterback Eli Manning said. "They're impressive."
The 69-year-old is so energized, he started doing jumping jacks at his news conference on Thursday to share his feelings.
Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins still shakes his head about having a chance to win the division.
What got Coughlin going was a question about the range of emotions he felt in the past few days. The downer was Sunday when the Giants blew a 10-point lead and lost to the Jets in overtime.

Wilson joined them as the only quarterbacks to win Super Bowl titles within Chad Williams Jersey their first two seasons. He completed 18 of Brandon Finnegan Jersey 25 Sac ?? Dos Kanken 16l passes for 206 yards and two Rams New Jerseys 2019 touchdowns, and ran for another 26 yards.
"He's a baller," Tate Cheap Jerseys Fast Shipping said.

A 30-second spot during the Super Bowl costs around $4 million this year. A spokesman for General Mills said the ad is set to air during the first unscheduled Nike Vapormax Plus Scontate time Patriots Super Bowl 53 Jersey out during the game Sunday.
NEW YORK (AP) 鈥?The George Washington Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Online Bridge isn't taking sides. It will be lit up in Bronco orange and Seahawk green Cheap Shoes Online Free Delivery for the Super Shoes Canada Free Returns Bowl.

Earlier in the year,Adidas Stan Smith Shoes Cheap, the Jaguars expected Sample to compete with Johnathan Cyprien for the starting job opposite Tashaun Gipson. Sample's injury means Josh Evans has a better chance of making the opening-day roster.
JACKSONVILLE,Vapormax Plus Nere, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived former first-round draft pick Bjoern Werner and placed safety James Sample on injured reserve for the second straight season.
The 24th overall selection in the 2013 draft by Indianapolis, Werner signed with Jacksonville in May. He had one sack in three preseason games with the Jaguars.

The team also waived tight end Nic Jacobs on Tuesday,Scarpe Nike Air Force Just Do It, trimming the roster to 75 players before the NFL deadline.
Sample,Seahawks Jersey Youth Cheap, a fourth-round draft pick from Louisville in 2015,Michael Irvin Jersey, played in four games as a rookie before ending up on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

"It's going to be different for all of us," Philly coach Doug Pederson said. "It's a smaller venue in that 27,000-30,000 range. It will be a little different. I don't want that to be a distraction for our football team, and for any of us going out there.
The Chargers (0-3) have a rookie, kicker, too, Younghoe Koo, but he's off to a rough start. His missed a potential game-winning attempt from 44 yards in a 19-17 loss to Miami in the Chargers' home opener two weeks ago. In the season opener at Denver, his potential tying kick from 44 yards was blocked.
Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said Manning released the ball in less than 2 seconds on 34 out of 52 pass plays. Rivers has been sacked only four times in three games and also has a quick release, so Philadelphia's front four may have a tough time getting to him.
The veteran running back and punt returner began his career with the Chargers, so he would have been facing a handful of former teammates this weekend. Wendell Smallwood will get a bigger role on offense and Philadelphia signed Kenjon Barner to replace Sproles on the roster. Barner, who played with Sproles on the Eagles and was cut by the Chargers this month, might return punts. Torrey Smith also could fill that role.
REPLACING SPROLES: The Eagles lost their top game-breaker when Darren Sproles tore an ACL and broke a forearm on the same play against the Giants.
Then there's the matter of the crowds at the 27,000-seat StubHub Center,Camo China Football Jerseys, which the Chargers are renting for three seasons before moving into the stadium Rams owner Stan Kroenke is building in Inglewood.
StubHub, by far the NFL's smallest and priciest stadium, hasn't given the Chargers a home-field advantage after they bolted up the freeway after spending 56 seasons in San Diego. There were plenty of Dolphins and Chiefs fans for the first two home games, and there should be plenty of green in the stands Sunday.
"I'm sick about the way I've played, I'm sick that we haven't scored enough points, but I'm super fired up about the way our defense is playing and continuing to hold teams," Rivers said. "I should believe that if they keep holding teams to 20, right in there, then we're going to win a bunch of games. If they keep them there,Wholesale Cheap Shoes Uk, we're bound to win and hopefully that starts Sunday."
UNFAMILIAR FOE: Although Rivers is 2-0 against the Eagles, these teams play each other only once every four years.
Here are some things to know about the Eagles-Chargers game in an MLS stadium:
First, the Eagles (2-1) have a successful rookie kicker, Jake Elliott, who boomed a 61-yard field goal — the longest in franchise history — as time expired to lift Philadelphia to a 27-24 victory against the New York Giants.
CHASING RIVERS: After posting eight sacks in the first two games, the Eagles' fierce pass rush didn't take Eli Manning down. But Manning didn't give them a chance by getting the ball out of his hands quickly.
"But I do know that our fans do travel well, and they are all over the country and I would expect probably a good turnout for Eagle fans this weekend."
"You're playing the Chiefs, we can write out that whole defensive front by name and all the DBs before you even turn on the tape," Rivers said. "When you're playing this team, you know a handful of the guys and then you just haven't played 'em so it takes you a little longer to get a feel for the actual guy. Not so much what they play and what coverages, more of the guy and what gives you the best chance as far as attacking those guys."
NEW DIGS, OLD PROBLEM: The Chargers have lost 26 of their last 35 games dating to the start of the 2015 season.
If not, the Chargers will be off to their first 0-4 start since 2003.
"Everybody is a little bit different," Schwartz said. "It goes both ways. If you want to throw it that quick,Stitched Carolina Panthers Jerseys, you can't really get routes down the field."
CARSON, Calif. (AP) — The self-proclaimed "Fight For LA" is going poorly for the winless Los Angeles Chargers, who will be challenged by Philadelphia both on and off the field at their suburban soccer pitch on Sunday.
LA's defense kept last Sunday's game close against the Chiefs, but three interceptions by Philip Rivers helped give Kansas City a big early lead.
Said Chargers tight end Hunter Henry: "Big challenge. They just came off a big win with an incredible kick at the end of the game,Cheap Shoes Australia, so you know they're up and they're excited and their fan base is excited."
It's e

The Bengals also signed rookie receiver Rashaun Simonise on Tuesday. They waived defensive end Dezmond Johnson and receiver DyShawn Mobley.

Thompson and Wright are recovering from knee injuries,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale. Maualuga suffered an undisclosed injury in the offseason.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Tight end Tyler Eifert and linebacker Rey Maualuga are among the Cincinnati Bengals players sidelined by injuries as the team opens training camp this week,Cheap Jerseys USA.
The Bengals listed Eifert,Wholesale Football Jerseys, Maualuga,Corey Brewer Jersey, defensive tackle Brandon Thompson and receiver James Wright as unable to participate in the team's first practice on Friday. Eifert hurt his left ankle at the Pro Bowl,Antonio Blakeney Jersey, had surgery, and is expected to miss most of camp and possibly a few games of the regular season.

And Nelson's was the spectacular one.
Washington (6-5-1), despite the loss,Cheap Football Gear, remains in the thick of the race for the second NFC wild-card berth. It held that spot alone going into the game.
ANGRY GRUDEN: Gruden wasn't just upset about the loss, he was angry. Just ask his players.
"There's no talk of playoffs over here," Gruden said. "We're trying to win the next game. We're not even thinking about playoffs right now. A lot's going to happen these last four games, and if we get an opportunity to play in them, great. If not, we're going to do the best we can at Philadelphia (next Sunday). That's all I know."
Last year, Arizona was 7-1 on the road.
"Things started to fall our way a little bit," cornerback Patrick Peterson said. "It looked like we picked up where we left off last year."
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals finally looked like the team they expected to be,China Cheap Jerseys, even if it took a dozen games to get there.
Sullivan could be playing for a while. There's no telling how long Long will be out.
RESURRECTED RECEIVERS: After a mostly rough season, Arizona wide receivers Michael Floyd and J.J. Nelson had some big moments against Washington.
NFL'S BEST?: The accolades were flowing in the Arizona locker room after another dynamic performance by David Johnson. The second-year running back carried the ball 18 times for 84 yards and caught nine passes for another 91.
But this is what the NFL is about, Norman said, the ups and downs.
Johnson was politely appreciative.
Cornerback Josh Norman said it was probably as angry as he's ever seen the coach.
But Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden didn't like the way his team looked from Sunday's opening kickoff.
Floyd caught a 6-yard laser of a pass from Carson Palmer and then banged over the goal line for a touchdown.
"I feel like we underachieved today," he said after the Cardinals' 31-23 victory, "and that's very frustrating."
The Cardinals (5-6-1) certainly understand. They've been underachieving all year. Sunday, though, they showed signs of that highly entertaining 13-3 squad of a year ago.
EAST WOES: The Cardinals head to Miami next Sunday, and that is not a good sign.
"It means a lot,Wholesale Shoes Australia," he said. "It's a great achievement just to hear that, just to be talked about amongst those great players. It means a lot because of everything I've been through. All the hard work is finally paying off."
"Because he believed a lot in us and we put a lot on his plate and we just have to execute," Norman said.
Arizona, despite all its problems, still has a chance, although it might take running the table over the final four games.
The Cardinals' loan road victory was at 1-11 San Francisco.
"It's tunnel vision," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "You know you're in it,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, your team is up there every week as a potential guy, but you've got to win games. You can't give one up down the stretch, and it'll be another big week on the road (at Miami) this week."
"Your adrenaline kicks up and you're ready to role," Sullivan said of how it feels to suddenly be thrust into the action. "Reflecting on it, it wasn't difficult at all."
Arians compared him favorably to a young Marshall Faulk or James.
In stride, between two defenders, the 5-foot-10 receiver caught a 42-yard pass between two defenders as he raced into the end zone. It was the score that provided the final eight-point margin.
"This is what you sign up for,Hydro Flask Barn," he said. "We're out here playing hard. It's just we aren't capitalizing and getting those wins."
OFF CENTER: The Redskins lost center Spencer Long to a concussion early in the game, and the Cardinals' big interior line zeroed in on replacement John Sullivan.
Arizona has played at Buffalo and lost 33-18, at Carolina and lost 30-20, at Minnesota and lost 30-24, and at Atlanta and lost 38-19.
He is the second player in NFL history to top 100 yards from scrimmage in each of the first 12 games of the season. The other: Hall of Famer Edgerrin James.
After a series of drops, fumbles and assorted problems, Nelson had arguably the game's biggest play.
He thought he held his own.

KESSLER'S ENCORE: Cleveland's Cody Kessler threw for a career-high 337 yards and a pair of touchdowns during a loss at Tennessee last week. He's trying to join Brandon Weeden as the only Browns rookies to throw for 300 yards in consecutive games. Most of all, he wants to help the Browns shed their distinction — the NFL's only winless team.
ALL IN THE FAMILY: Jackson knows what makes the Bengals' defense tick. The Bengals know all of his tricks, from unbalanced lines to flea-flickers and double reverses. When the Bengals watched film of the Browns' offense this week, it was as if they were watching themselves. Which one gets an advantage? The familiarity may not count for as much, given that Jackson is working with a makeshift roster because of injuries. Still, it'll be like both teams looking in a mirror at times.
It's the first of Cincinnati's back-to-back games against former offensive coordinators who know them well. The following week, Cincinnati makes its first trip to London to play Jay Gruden's Washington team. Gruden was Jackson's predecessor in Cincinnati as the coordinator.

Some things to watch on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium:
DALTON'S SURGE: Dalton leads the AFC in yards passing, but the Bengals are struggling near the end zone. The Bengals scored at least 24 points in seven of their first eight games last season while going 8-0. They have yet to score that many points in any game this season. Dalton had one of the worst games of his career against Cleveland in 2014, when he finished with a passer rating of 2.0 in a 24-3 loss at Paul Brown Stadium. He turned it around last season, going 35 of 46 for 454 yards with five TDs and no interceptions in the two intrastate games.
Remember Sam Wyche's "You don't live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati" putdown?
"You have to understand where we are," Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said. "We're kind of behind right now, with the way this season has gone, and we've got to get it back on track."
The Bengals (2-4) and Browns (0-6) haven't been this bad together through six games since the 2008 season. Cincinnati is off to its worst start since 2010, when it finished 4-12.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Well, it used to be a notable rivalry.
Ah, the old days. Nowadays, the so-called Battle of Ohio is more of a struggle to stay relevant.
PRYOR'S OLD PLACE: The Browns' leading receiver returns to the place where he finally gave up on his goal of becoming an NFL quarterback. At Jackson's suggestion, the Bengals signed Terrelle Pryor in the offseason last year to compete for a backup QB job. They released him,Cheap NFL Jerseys Store, and he landed in Cleveland,Aron Baynes Jersey, this time as a receiver. He leads the Browns with 33 catches for 413 yards and three touchdowns. He's also thrown nine passes, filling in as Cleveland's quarterbacks got hurt.
The Browns are looking to hold up their end of Cleveland's fantastic sports month. The Indians are back in the World Series. The Cavaliers raise their NBA championship banner. Now, can the Browns actually win a game?
Cleveland is off to its worst start since it was a first-year expansion team in 1999 and lost its first seven games.
"For me,Wholesale Jerseys China, I take it very personal, as do a lot of guys in this locker room,Cheap Jerseys From China," Kessler said. "It just makes you compete that much harder and keep working harder because we have been really close in some of these games."
"Hue does a good job of when you think he's going to throw something at you, he throws something else," Bengals safety George Iloka said. "We are prepared that there will be some wrinkles. What those wrinkles will be, we'll see. But he does a good job of giving you a little bit of everything."
BURFICT'S BEHAVIOR: Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict was fined $75,Cheap Air Max 720 China,000 for stepping on Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount during the loss in New England. Teammates say that opponents have been trying to set him off during games. Burfict was suspended by the NFL for the first three games because of his history of violating the league's player safety rules. It'll be worth watching his self-control during a game that can get nasty.
"We have to get a win," Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins said. "Every single week it is the same goal."
Back in the day, the Browns and Bengals would go at it with a lot at stake and bragging rights to follow. Ohio's two teams with such close ties — Paul Brown built both of them — played some memorable games with outsized characters.
