FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Three days after absorbing a rib-rattling sandwich from Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake, New York Jets quarterback Bryce Petty pronounced himself cleared to play Saturday against the New England Patriots.Petty, who suffered a chest bruise on the hit, was in such good spirits Tuesday that he managed to laugh about it.It was a good hit -- hits, plural, he said. Ill probably put [the picture] up in my man cave at some point. If I can take shots from those two dudes, I think Ill be all right.Petty, in his third career start, was injured on a fluke play at the start of the fourth quarter in the Jets 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins.Wesley Johnson snapped the ball prematurely, catching Petty and the other offensive linemen by surprise. They never engaged the Miami pass-rushers, allowing Suh and Wake to swoop toward Petty from opposite sides.Petty, who completed a pass on the play, was in too much pain to continue. X-rays and a CT scan were negative, meaning there were no fractures and no lung damage, according to the team.I thought something was messed up in there, Petty said. Luckily, everything is good and I dont have to speak in hypotheticals, because were all cleared and good to go.Coach Todd Bowles stopped short of saying Petty will start against the Patriots, but he sounded optimistic.Hes feeling a lot better, Bowles said. Its early in the week, but if he continues to get better, he should be fine.Bowles still is toying with the idea of dressing three quarterbacks for the game, which would mean the first time in uniform for rookie third-stringer Christian Hackenberg.Petty practiced fully Tuesday, saying there were no limitations with his throwing. He said his chest is pain-free, but hes expected to wear a protective pad for the game. He said the training camp is creating a Kevlar pad for him.Petty said he didnt want to blame Johnson for the error, but mentioned that he received an apologetic gift from him.I had a batch of cookies on my hood from Wes, Petty said, adding that they were chocolate chip and homemade. It was a really nice gesture. He still owes me dinner, though.Petty lost one of his top lineman, as right guard Brian Winters was placed on injured reserve. He suffered a shoulder injury against the Dolphins and couldnt finish the game. He became the fourth offensive lineman to land on IR, joining Nick Mangold, Breno Giacomini and Ryan Clady. The only original starter still standing is left guard James Carpenter. Winters, who will be a free agent, probably will be replaced by Dakota Dozier.The Jets also placed linebacker Mike Catapano (knee) on IR. They signed tackle Donald Hawkins and defensive tackle Brandin Bryant from the practice squad.Nike NFL Jerseys Outlet . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.SAN FRANCISCO -- Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred expects news within a year regarding potential plans for the Athletics to build a new ballpark in Oakland.Major League Baseball is monitoring weekly calls the As are holding to plan for a new stadium, and the low-budget franchise is exploring several potential locations.I have spent more time with the As, on their stadium situation, than I have spent with any other franchise over the last two years, Manfred said Monday before the San Francisco Giants hosted the Chicago Cubs for NL Division Series Game 3 .Manfred said Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf told him the city is committed to keeping the As in town, and she would also like the Raiders to stay. The two organizations share the rundown Oakland Coliseum, the last venue to house baseball and the NFL.The one thing I will say to you is the mayor in Oakland has made clear to me that baseball is her first priority. She would like to keep both teams, but that baseball is her first priority, Manfred said. And I think thats a good spot for baseball to be in.When asked when Schaaf told him that, Manfred said, Shes told me that repeatedly over the last year.The Raiders are exploring options to move to Las Vegas.While Lew Wolff is owner and managing partner of the As, Manfred said co-owner John Fisher has become more heavily involved in the ballpark situation and has made multiple trips to New York to meet with Manfred and MLB.We will stay engaged with the As. We will not have somebody here full-time on the grround.dddddddddddd The As project is a project that will involve a very substantial commitment from local ownership. And as a result of that, it has to be a locally driven project. They need to find a project that they think works for them, and they need to push that project forward, Manfred said. We will continue to impress upon them the urgency of getting a Major League-quality facility in Oakland, and we will continue to provide them with support as they move through the process.Wolff said in an e-mail Monday night that site evaluations are ongoing.Studies are still underway, so details will need to wait until the research is concluded, Wolff said.Manfred also reiterated he remains optimistic of reaching a new labor agreement ahead of two notable, upcoming dates on the baseball calendar: the start of free agency and the expiration of the current contract.I am optimistic well have a deal this fall. I remain optimistic about that, Manfred said. I think there are some natural deadlines out there. The beginning of the free agency period, the expiration of the agreement on Dec. 1, and Im hopeful that well be able to get an agreement in advance of those natural deadlines.He also got to meet a celebrated former player.Well, this trip to San Franciscos now officially worthwhile, Manfred said. I just got to spend five minutes with Willie Mays, so the rest of it is all gravy. ' ' '
