The knockout blow might have finally been delivered to their NRL season but Parramatta have vowed to go out swinging in 2016.But first they will need to pick themselves off the canvas - again.There seemed to be little fight left in the Eels after their slim finals hopes were officially killed off by Saturdays 34-14 loss to Gold Coast.Eels players acknowledged their fate by dropping their heads after the six-tries-to-three loss at cbus Super Stadium.However, Parramatta coach Brad Arthur said there was still plenty to gain from their nightmare season.Our season may be over but we have standards and expectations - that is all we can judge ourselves on, he said.We have to ask ourselves at the end of the year did we maintain those standards or take the easy option?.The Eels had held onto hope that wins in their remaining seven matches would keep them in the finals mix.They had to cling to something.In a year lurching from controversy to controversy for Parramatta, Eels fans would still have been disheartened by the events of the past week.Wayward five-eighth Corey Norman watched from the Gold Coast sidelines after being suspended for eight weeks and fined $20,000 for a string of off-field incidents, including a conviction for drug possession.Parramatta were also taken over by a NSW government-appointed administrator on Tuesday in the wake of their salary-cap scandals which resulted in a $1 million fine and the loss of 12 competition points.Their luck didnt change on Saturday.Captain Beau Scott (ankle) was cut before the match while hooker Isaac De Gois (suspected knee) limped off in the 64th minute as Parramatta slid to third last on 12 points.Weve got probably three quarters of the salary cap sitting on the sidelines, Arthur said of their long list of unavailable players including playmaker Kieran Foran.We will just add them (De Gois, Scott) to the list.We will find some (back-up).If anything, I would rather them (injuries) this year than next year.Eels stand-in skipper Tim Mannah said it was pretty easy to ignore their off-field dramas.This is a resilient, tough group, he said.The attitude we have makes it a lot easier to deal with situations that look pretty messy from the outside.I think we will be better for it once we come through it.

PETERSBURG, Fla. ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn said receiver?Julio Jones status for the Christmas Eve matchup against the Carolina Panthers looks promising. Jones is recovering from a toe sprain.Jones missed his second consecutive game Sunday as the Falcons defeated the San Francisco 49ers?41-13. Jones went through a light workout during pregame warm-ups.Im hopeful that hes back, Quinn said of Jones. So, I think that he will (return). Were going to take it all the way through, practice Tuesday and Wednesday, and then well have a good shot. But I am hopeful for that.I cant say its for sure until he can explode like he can, but I think hes a heck of a lot closer than he has been over the last two weeks.Once again Sunday, others stepped up. Last week, Taylor Gabriel and Nick Williams combined for 131 yards on seven catches. This week, Aldrick Robinson turned in a career-high 111-yard effort on four catches and Gabriel scored another touchdown.Even when Julio is playing, he comes out the game sometimes, Robinson said. When he comes out the game, we still believee we can be as efficient as we want to be.ddddddddddddThe Falcons have other injury concerns besides Jones. Rookies DeVondre Campbell and Austin Hooper exited Sundays game with a concussion and knee injury, respectively. Hooper exited the locker room without crutches but wore a large knee brace. Quinn did not have an immediate update on those players.If Campbell is unable to play against the Panthers, Paul Worrilow likely would move into the starting lineup at weakside linebacker. And if Hooper is sidelined for any period of time, it wouldnt be a surprise to see the Falcons elevate D.J. Tialavea from the practice squad to be the third tight end and join?Levine Toilolo and rookie Joshua Perkins.Defensive lineman Adrian Clayborn (knee), cornerback Jalen Collins, safety Robenson Therezie (ankle) and receiver Williams (concussion) all were inactive against the 49ers, but Quinn said he expects to get some players back for Carolina.
