play Sunday against the New York Giant Antworten

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger says he definitely will play Sunday against the New York Giants despite a sprained right shoulder.Mettenberger said Wednesday its his body and he feels fine as he works through the soreness. Both the X-rays and MRI exam were negative, and the sixth-round draft pick out of LSU isnt trying to prove hes tough. This is his NFL audition with the Titans (2-10).Right now this is my team, Mettenberger said. I cant think about next year. All I have is the opportunity to play this Sunday and who knows what could happen. I could get hurt or whatever. But right now my opportunity is to play this Sunday and show that yeah, Im the best guy for this team and hopefully for the future as well.Mettenberger sprained his throwing shoulder during the third quarter of a 45-21 loss to Houston after being hit by J.J. Watt. In five straight starts, the rookie has thrown for 1,270 yards and eight touchdowns with five touchdowns for a 91.8 passer rating. He has thrown a TD pass in each of his starts but has yet to win a game for a team that has lost 10 of 11.Losing sucks, Mettenberger said. Its that simple ... Really all we can do is keep grinding, keep staying focused and take it personal really. Thats the only way we can get a win.Coach Ken Whisenhunt remains optimistic Mettenberger will play barring a setback. The quarterback was limited in practice, testing his shoulder throwing some short passes.The Titans need to see Mettenberger keep growing with four games left this season to know whether they need to draft another quarterback in May. Whisenhunt said Mettenberger is improving each week, and the coach wants to see him keep that up.All this time that hes getting is invaluable as far as understanding the position and us getting a chance to see what he can do, Whisenhunt said. You cant create a scenario where you can actually work on something that youd like to see. You hope that some of those things come up, but were getting a lot of good information about him.The challenge for the Titans and Mettenberger is the health of their offensive line, which Whisenhunt said was not great. Mettenbergers starting tackles did not play against Houston and did not practice Wednesday with left tackle Taylor Lewans left ankle heavily taped and right tackle Michael Oher still in a walking boot on his left foot.I really dont know about their chances, Whisenhunt said. Well have to see as it progresses. We signed another tackle. Obviously, its something we needed to do because of where we are with the line, and hopefully those guys will continue to get better.Right guard Chance Warmack was limited by a sore ankle but Whisenhunt said the second-year lineman is expected back.Mettenberger said he hasnt had a conversation about whether he could hurt his shoulder further by playing.I cant think like that, Mettenberger said. I can just go out there and play ball. I cant think about getting hurt anymore, so Im not going to worry about that.The Giants (3-9) placed two defensive ends on injured reserve Tuesday in Mathias Kiwanuka and Robert Ayers. New York coach Tom Coughlin called Mettenberger a strong-armed young man.Hes got an outstanding arm, Coughlin said. He throws the ball into any spots on the field, tight spots, open spots, and accurate.Notes: Mettenberger will be without one of his receivers with Justin Hunter on injured reserve. Hunter was released Wednesday from a Houston hospital and flew back to Nashville on a private plane courtesy of Titans president Tommy Smith. ... DE Kam Wimbley (left hamstring) also did not practice. CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson (back) was limited, and DB Marqueston Huff (hamstring) practiced fully.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Teresa M.

Deep into stoppage time at Old Trafford, Darren Bent plundered a goal in "Fergie Time" for Fulham to claim a 2-2 draw for the leagues worst team on Sunday. And a miserable first season for Moyes just keeps on getting worse, with the champions adrift in seventh, after winning the title by 11 points under Ferguson in May. "Today was probably as bad as it gets," Moyes said. But next up on Wednesday is a trip to Arsenal, which might have lost 5-1 at Liverpool on Saturday but is second in the standings. Bents intervention leaves United nine points adrift of the fourth Champions League qualification place, let alone the summit where Chelsea is 15 points ahead. Even more agonizing for Moyes is that his team had turned the match around to be in a winning position. Trailing from Steve Sidwells 19th minute-goal, Robin van Persie and Michael Carrick scored rapid goals to put United 2-1 up going into the final 10 minutes. Uniteds setback was compounded by Tottenham moving three points from fourth place on Sunday by dislodging Everton from fifth with a 1-0 victory over the Merseyside team. While Tottenham is experiencing a revival after changing managers, there is little appetite at United to dismiss the man who succeeded Ferguson after 26 years. Moyes will fight on, with the prospect of Champions League glory still in play, even if the squad doesnt look capable of connquering the European football powers these days.dddddddddddd What made Sundays draw so galling too is that it was masterminded by Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen, who was Fergusons assistant at United until May, and is enduring even more misery than Moyes with his bottom-place team. How relieved Meulensteen was to see Lewis Holtby, a midfielder on loan from Tottenham, rampage down the left flank before sending in a cross that the advancing Sidwell slid into the net. United was lacking a killer instinct in front of goal until it was almost too late. Juan Matas cross was turned in by the unmarked Van Persie in the 78th, and Carricks shot deflected off Scott Parker into the net. But Uniteds defence crumbled. A shot from former United winger Kieran Richardson was pushed by goalkeeper David de Gea straight to Bent who headed into an empty net. In a game where United sent in some 81 crosses to Fulhams four, and goal attempts were 31 to six in the hosts favour, the points were shared. And Fulham is four points from safety at the bottom. "We made it difficult for them," Meulensteen said. "United have got some problems of their own. They kept creating chances and crosses but we defended well and held them." It was a similar story at White Hart Lane in the days other game. Everton was in control but it was Tottenham who snatched all three points by scoring from its only shot on target. Emmanuel Adebayor controlled a free kick, taken swiftly and smartly by Kyle Walker, and went past Seamus Coleman before dispatching the ball into the net in the 65th minute. ' ' '
