After darting forward again Ryquell Armstead Jersey , he quickly rolled to his right and took off down the sideline at full speed.The only reminder Saturday that the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was returning from knee surgery was the brace attached his left leg.”Obviously he’s got some of that Kobe Bryant (stuff) in his knee,” defensive end Michael Bennett said with a smile, referring to the offseason knee treatment in Germany the NBA great used to receive. ”He probably went to Germany or Switzerland or some (stuff), because he’s looking really good out there.”How upbeat were the Eagles after Wentz went through 11-on-11 drills with the starters at the first padded practice of training camp? Coach Doug Peterson interrupted new offensive coordinator Mike Groh’s press conference with the key question for the Super Bowl champions.”I know you don’t want to put a timetable on Carson, but what’s your timetable?” Pederson asked, smirking.”Great question,” Groh said.Wentz sure looked close to ready, if not already there, during a humid morning practice. Barely seven months removed from tearing the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his left knee, Wentz participated in full team drills without limitations. While he tossed two interceptions, he drew rave reviews from his teammates and coaches for his arm strength Will Harris Jersey , accuracy and mobility.”He’s in the right frame of mind. He’s making some good throws,” Groh said. ”As you can see, we’re pretty good on defense. Those guys are making it challenging for us on offense, particularly early, first day in pads.”Wentz dazzled in 13 games last season, throwing for 3,296 yards and 33 touchdowns with just seven interceptions. The Eagles led the NFL in scoring and were 11-2 after Wentz went down on Dec. 10.Behind backup Nick Foles, the Eagles went on to win their first NFL title. But it’s clear that even though Foles was the Super Bowl MVP, Wentz will become the starter again when he’s ready.”When you’re rehabbing something, it’s not an exponential line. It’s not you’re slowly getting better and then you rapidly accelerate,” tight end Zach Ertz said. ”There’s going to be times in training camp probably where he doesn’t feel great or his knee doesn’t feel great and they’ll back him off.”Because of that http://www.lionsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-austin-bryant-jersey , the Eagles remain tight-lipped about whether they expect Wentz under center for the season opener Sept. 6 against Atlanta. It’s also uncertain if he’ll appear in a preseason game. Wentz didn’t speak to reporters after the 2 1/2-hour workout.”To have everybody out there, Carson there, in some people’s minds is ahead of schedule,” Groh said. ”But I know this was his target date. So we’re happy to have him out there working. It’s only going to make everybody better.”NOTES: With several receivers banged up and not practicing, including Alshon Jeffery and Bryce Treggs, the Eagles signed WR DeAndre Carter. The move gives the Eagles the maximum 90 players. … The team displayed the Lombardi Trophy in a glass case outside the practice fields, allowing fans to snap pictures while standing next to it.— CINCINNATI (AP)Joe Mixon was frustrated. Accustomed to breaking off big run after big run for Oklahoma, the rookie running back couldn’t even get back to the line of scrimmage with the Bengals. Big plays? Just getting a couple of yards was the best he could do. Finally, he accepted that sometimes that’s the way it goes in the NFL, and things started to change. Mixon ran for a career-high 114 yards Sunday during a 30-16 victory over the winless Cleveland Browns, his first big game in the pros. The Bengals (5-6) hadn’t been able to run the ball at all until Sunday Rashan Gary Jersey , managing a total of 100 yards in only one game previously. The breakthrough came after Mixon accepted that a 3-yard run in the NFL isn’t a failure, and he ought to just embrace it instead of trying to make something out of nothing. ”It’s very physical here every play, and that’s the difference,” Mixon said. ”Coming from Oklahoma, they have a great line, you have those holes and you’ve got to just go. Here everybody is bigger, stronger, faster, smarter. You’ve got to keep trusting and believing. ”Keep getting the 2-yard run, the 3-yard run, and eventually something will break.” The Bengals deemed Mixon worth the criticism when they drafted him. Mixon punched a woman in the face at Oklahoma. After other teams passed on him http://www.packersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-darnell-savage-jr.-jersey , the Bengals decided to take him the second time around. ”I love it here,” Mixon said. ”I appreciate them for picking me up.” The Bengals loved his versatility as a power runner who can catch passes and make defenders miss. Mixon started the season sharing the role with incumbent Jeremy Hill, who became a close friend. When Hill suffered an ankle injury and had surgery, Mixon became the primary back. Even so, the running game had nowhere to go . A struggling offensive line created few holes. Mixon kept trying to force a big play when it wasn’t there. A low point came during a win in Denver two weeks ago when Cincinnati rushed for a total of 49 yards. After that game, Cincinnati’s running game ranked the worst in franchise history and last in the league by far, averaging 3 yards per carry. Once the Bengals got ahead of the Browns on Sunday, they decided to finish it off by running the ball. They used extra blockers and opened holes for Mixon. On a clinching 75-yard drive, Mixon had runs of 15 and 14 yards before scoring on an 11-yard run . ”Not only were we in position where we had to run it, but we did a nice job running it,” offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said. ”It has you coming off the field with a good feeling. I like how Joe finished his runs. He seemed to get some rhythm going there and was a physical force. And a couple of those holes were really nice to have in an NFL game. ”So it leaves you with a good taste in your mouth Elgton Jenkins Jersey , for a few hours.” PENALTY, OR NO PENALTY: Coach Marvin Lewis took exception to a first-quarter penalty on linebacker Vontaze Burfict for his hit on a Browns receiver who was deemed defenseless. He supported a later call on Browns safety Jabrill Peppers for a high hit on receiver Josh Malone – who also was deemed defenseless – during the Bengals’ clinching touchdown drive. ”It used to be a good football play,” Lewis said of Peppers’ hit. ”It’s no longer a good football play.” STEELERS AGAIN: The Bengals host the Steelers (9-2) next Monday night, a game they need to win to stay in contention for a playoff spot. When they played in Pittsburgh on Oct. 1, they were tied 14-14 midway through the second quarter and then unraveled. The Bengals managed only one first down and 19 total yards in the second half. Mixon didn’t get a run in the second half, and questioned the play calling afterward. —
