Bears have DT Harris again

There are high expectations for Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris 's coming back. He will put on his bears jersey and fight the Cleveland Sunday.
He was benched for a sore left knee last Sunday .“They’re supposed to expect, that’s what I got paid for,”Harris signed the contract with $40 million after the 2007 season.“If you give a guy a whole bunch of money to perform or you ran a Fortune 500 company and the guys didn’t produce like he did, what are you supposed to do?”
“I’m confident that it helped him a lot,” Smith said Friday about Harris’ week off and full week of practice. “That was our plan, to put him in position where he could practice all week. He practiced all week. He’s feeling good about the practices he’s had and playing good this week.”The other players in the team expect Harris can be performon well as before.
“He’s getting his body right,” defensive end Adewale Ogunleye(notes) said. “I don’t think he has been 100 percent healthy. But with that said, nobody’s really healthy in this league. So we need him to give him what he can do.”
Hope Harris have a good season.

Stafford practices with Lions Tuesday

Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz seems not to reveal the details about the recovery of quarterback Matt Stafford.
Absolutely nothing,” said Schwartz, when asked what he would reveal about Stafford’s participation in Tuesday’s practice. “I do think the bye came at a good time for getting people healthier, and everyone was able to at least do something, but that’s as far as I will go.”
The media can go through Stafford's individual drills;he wasn’t fully involved in the full-team portion of the session.
“I was limited,” he said. “I didn’t get all the reps, but I took a few. This is the most I’ve done on it, and it felt pretty good.”Stafford, though, knows that he’s been down this road before. The last time he tried to go through most of a practice, the knee swelled and he had to have a second MRI.

Jets lose his arm --RB Washington

“It’s horribly unfortunate and really makes you think about how quickly things can be taken from you,” center Nick Mangold said. It's true.Washington suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula when they are against with Oakland on sunday.He was carted off the field and had X-rays, which revealed the fractures. Washington, 27, was taken to Berkeley’s Alta Bates Medical Center, where he underwent a two-hour operation Sunday to have a rod inserted into the tibia to stabilize the fracture. The team said doctors expect the fibula to heal on its own.
“It’s just a tough loss,” cornerback Darrelle Revis(notes) said. “He’s a big part of our offense and he’s put up big numbers since he’s been a New York Jet. To have him gone for the season, that’s a big playmaker that we’re losing.”Jets just lost Kris Jenkins for cruciate ligament in his left knee last week. “This is kind of going crazy the last two weeks,” Revis said. Danny Woodhead,rookie Shonn Greene ,Brad Smith can also step in .
“It just devastates you,” Ryan said of Washington. “You feel for him.”
