BEREA, Ohio -- Rookie Cody Kessler uncoiled an ice wrap around his upper body as Charlie Whitehurst limped by with an elastic sleeve on his left knee.Two more Browns quarterbacks are black, blue and beaten up.A day after Kessler and Whitehurst were both injured in a 33-13 loss to the New England Patriots, Clevelands quarterback situation was as messy and unclear as it has been in many weeks.And around here, thats saying something.Kessler is recovering from a painful injury to his chest and ribs when he was drilled by linebacker Donta Hightower in the first quarter.But after X-rays on Kessler did not reveal any breaks, Browns coach Hue Jackson said Monday theres a chance that the third-round draft pick, who vaulted up the depth chart after Robert Griffin III (shoulder) and Josh McCown (collarbone) were injured in the first two weeks, will practice this week and play Sunday at Tennessee.Im sure its a pain tolerance issue, every day is going to change, said Jackson, who has endured a season full of hardship in his first season with Cleveland.It is today, it is tomorrow and practice is Wednesday. We will see where he is then.Whitehurst may not be as ready. After becoming the fifth quarterback to play in five games for the Browns this season, he hyperextended his knee in the final minutes and is listed day to day.For a change, though, its not all bad news for the Browns.McCown has been cleared to practice and could be in uniform against the Titans. The 37-year-old McCown wants to play after spending the past three weeks watching his teammates come up short.Anytime you find yourself in a situation like our team is where its gone this way and youre 0-5, I think its all hands on deck, and youve got to want to help, he said. You watch tape from yesterday and you watch the effort that guys put forth and theyre battling, and you just want to be a part of it.Jackson may finally have more than one option this week.Well have three guys standing out there (at practice), he quipped. So well be able to pick somebody out of the group.At the rate Clevelands QBs are falling, it may be hard to find a volunteer.McCown has been out since breaking his left collarbone in Week 2 against Baltimore. He showed incredible toughness by playing three quarters with the fracture, and less than a month later said its realistic hell face the Titans.Yeah, Im going to practice Wednesday, and thats the next step to this thing, he said. So well see how it plays out.But Im looking forward to that part of it. When youre kind of going through what were going through, just to be out there on the practice field and to get back moving around like that, its exciting for me. And then well see where it goes. But Im looking forward to helping any way I can and getting back out there with the guys.If Kessler and McCown are both ready, Jacksons decision gets more complicated.Does he go with Kessler, who has shown growth in three starts and could develop into the teams long-term answer at QB? Or does he return to McCown, the steady veteran and leader who has endeared himself to teammates and may give the Browns their best chance to win?Jackson must wait to see how both players practice before he decides.McCowns return to practice is a needed positive jolt for the young and winless Browns, who until Sundays blowout have been in every game.Its big, center John Greco said of the QBs return. I know Josh. Im sure he wanted to play that following week.But now that hes got some rest itll be good to have his leadership out there with us actually on the field. Hes out there as a vocal leader, but his physical presence is huge for this team and if hes out there its awesome for us.Game notesC Cam Erving will return to practice after missing four games with a bruised lung sustained in the opener. Ervings loss forced the Browns to move Greco to center. Im definitely excited to get back out there, Erving said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLDayro Moreno Jersey .

Jeison Murillo Colombia Jersey . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East.KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- NASCARs two top technical officials on Friday explained the rationale behind rule changes for the 2017 season that were released to competitors earlier this week.The minor changes are being made to improve safety and hopefully create more competitive racing.Modifications for Sprint Cup Series cars include a smaller rear spoiler and shallower front splitter, intended to reduce the overall downforce level. The 2017 rear spoiler will measure 2-3/8 inches by 61 inches.NASCAR ran Sprint Cup Series races this summer at Michigan International Speedway and Kentucky Speedway using a 2? inch by 53-inch spoiler in an effort to simulate the 2017 aero package, but the competition was not as close as hoped.Our objective here is to get more off-throttle time for the drivers, said Gene Stefanyshyn, NASCAR senior vice president of innovation and racing development. If we take downforce off, the corner speed will slow down and the driver will be off-throttle more. The splitter and the spoiler reduction was done in concert because we wanted to retain the same balance in the car.We tried a 53-inch wide spoiler but went back to the 61 after we got some feedback from the drivers, he added. They just needed a bit more in the rear, so we fine-tuned it that way. It gives the car a bit more stability.Drivers were generally positive in their reaction to the new rules.I believe anything we can do to take aerodynamic dependency away from these cars makes the racing better, makes it more fun and showcases the drivers talent and the crew chiefs ability to change, said Carl Edwards of Joe Gibbs Racing.?Thats good stuff.We are all wanting slower center of corner speeds, added six-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson, who will remain at Kansas on Monday to test the 2017 package in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.We all feel that will put on a better race. Directionally, that is the way the sport is going and I think the smaller spoiler is going to help us.For restrictor plate races at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway, the plate openings have been decreased by 1/64 of an inch in an effort to reduce horsepower and contain speeds.NASCAR will also reduce the number of tiires allotted to competitors on race weekends and will require drivers to start races with the tires used for qualifying.dddddddddddd.Safety changes include a strengthened floor section near the pedals and modifications to the steering column to prevent the steering wheel from pushing back into the cockpit in a frontal impact. Roof hatches will be mandatory at restrictor plate tracks and optional elsewhere.We work on safety on an ongoing basis and agree as an industry that there is no compromise when it comes to safety, Stefanyshyn said. When we do find something and its significant and needs to be handled, we will handle it in a proper way.NASCAR continues to crack down on efforts to create a rear-steering effect by skewing the angle of the rear axle, and rules regarding chassis construction in the rear axle area have been tightened up for 2017.Friday at Kansas Speedway, Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson were held out of the first 30 minutes of Cup Series practice because they attempted to bring their cars back into rear axle angle compliance after last weeks race at Charlotte Motor Speedway by violently swerving during the cool-down lap.We asked them not to swerve and they swerved, so theyre in the garage, said Scott Miller, NASCAR senior vice-president of competition. That was pretty specific. We told them [in September at New Hampshire Motor Speedway] that we would look at our resources after the races, and weve been doing that.Stefanyshyn and Miller added that while they hope the 2017 package forms a solid base for the long term, they would not rule out NASCAR selectively testing out new ideas during races as it prepares for 2018.Nothing ever stays the same, so moving forward, we will look at more efficient ways to actually potentially test possible packages for the future, said Miller. I think we did a good job the last couple of times with the races. Thats really the best way to collect data - at an actual event.Hopefully we can get out in front of it a bit further with a bigger cross section of race tracks if we have some proposed new things in the future.
