Seven members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2018 will be on hand Saturday night in Canton [url=http://www.officialmapleleafsproshop.com/authentic-adidas-auston-matthews-jersey]Auston Matthews Jersey[/url] , Ohio, for the induction festivities, along with more than 20,000 fans.
About 600 miles away in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the eighth new Hall of Famer, Terrell Owens, will be doing his own thing. Again.
Ray Lewis, Randy Moss [url=http://www.officialhurricanes.com/authentic-adidas-jeff-skinner-jersey]Jeff Skinner Jersey[/url] , Brian Dawkins, Brian Urlacher, Jerry Kramer, Robert Brazile and Bobby Beathard will be at Tom Benson Stadium for the festivities. Expect some rousing speeches, plenty of hugging and lots of tears — Dawkins, for one, has guaranteed the crying. He and Brazile had wet eyes Friday night when they got their gold jackets at a dinner.
Owens has made the unprecedented move of deciding not to attend the inductions at the Canton shrine. He’ll have an event at the college he attended.
Dawkins, who played two seasons with Owens in Philadelphia, says: “That’s T.O.” He says he’s “disappointed” the wide receiver won’t be on hand [url=http://www.officiallightningprostore.com/authentic-adidas-ryan-mcdonagh-jersey]Ryan McDonagh Jersey[/url] , saying, “I would love for him to be here.”
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman are healthy and practicing at full speed again this week but will be held out for the third straight preseason game when the Atlanta Falcons visit the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday.
Coach Dan Quinn said the team decided during the offseason not to play Jones, a two-time All-Pro receiver, and Freeman, a former Pro Bowl running back, in exhibitions, so it’s likely neither will suit up until Atlanta opens the regular season Sept. 6 at Philadelphia.
Quinn cited the injury history of Jones and Freeman as the reason to keep both players out of preseason games. He indicated that he likely won’t change his mind before the Falcons host Miami in the preseason finale Aug. 30.
“That’s the plan that we kind of set out with, and I’m staying true to that [url=http://www.officialredwings.com/authentic-adidas-dylan-larkin-jersey]http://www.officialredwings.com/authentic-adidas-dylan-larkin-jersey[/url] ,” Quinn said Tuesday. “If there was something that I felt that they needed, then I would adjust that, but right now that’s where I’m headed.”
Quinn added that he’s not concerned that Jones and Freeman will face the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles without replicating game speed in preseason.
“In those two instances, I think that is the case that we can,” Quinn said. “If I had concerns that we wouldn’t be able to or I felt like it would be worth doing that, then I certainly I would.”
Jones, who leads the NFL in yards receiving average since the Falcons drafted him sixth overall in 2011, started all 18 of Atlanta’s last season but didn’t practice much because of a hip flexor, a back injury and an ankle injury. He’s also had surgery twice on his right foot.
Freeman [url=http://www.officialsabres.com/authentic-adidas-jake-mccabe-jersey]Youth Jake McCabe Jersey[/url] , who has scored 37 touchdowns in four seasons while averaging 1,207 yards from scrimmage, was sidelined twice last year by a concussion and is coming off a minor knee injury that didn’t require surgery.
Neither player has missed practice time since the team reported for training camp last month.
Matt Bryant, sidelined in preseason with an undisclosed injury, is expected to return to kicking on Wednesday. It’s unclear if he will be ready to play at Jacksonville.
Linebacker Deion Jones is listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Reserve guard Ben Garland will play dress against the Jaguars.
