FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons still expect Kemal Ishmael will open the season as the fill-in starter at strong safety even though hell miss his third straight preseason game this week.Coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday Ishmael wont play in Thursday nights final preseason game against Jacksonville. Ishmael, returning from a shoulder sprain, practiced on Monday and Tuesday but wont be able to replace injured rookie starter Keanu Neal this week as had been hoped.Neal is expected to miss at least the first two regular-season games after having arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Monday.Quinn said Ishmael should have no limitations next week.He practiced the last two days and hes just not quite ready with the time off that hes missed, Quinn said, adding Ishmael would have played this week if it was a regular game.Newly signed veteran safety Deshon Goldson will play against the Jaguars after quickly learning the defense.He did a good job this week in terms of learning and applying it, Quinn said. We wont overload him but we definitely want to give him some work.Quinn stressed on Sunday that Goldson, a 2012 All-Pro selection with the 49ers who started 15 games with the Redskins last season, was signed to play behind Neal and Ishmael.Ishmael said Tuesday he was ready to play when needed.Im feeling good, feeling real comfortable out there on the defense, Ishmael said.Ishmael, entering his fourth season with the Falcons, is preparing for a familiar backup role -- assuming Neal makes a full recovery from his knee injury.Ishmael made five starts in 2015 and a combined 15 in 36 games the last three years.Its all about selflessness, Ishmael said of his role. Its bigger than me. Its a team thing. ...Whatever role they want me to fill, thats what Im going to do and Im going to be happy with it.Wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle), defensive end Adrian Clayborn (shoulder) and running back Brandon Wilds (knee) also wont play this week. Quinn said rookie wide receiver Devin Fuller (shoulder) will be placed on injured reserve.Kicker Matt Bryant will return after missing two games with muscle tightness in his leg. Running back Terron Ward will return from an ankle sprain to play behind Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman.Quinn said the final preseason game will be a really fun night for the guys as players compete for the final roster and practice-squad spots.Such starters as quarterback Matt Ryan should have extremely limited time as the focus is on younger players.Thats why its a fun night for us coaches to see the competitiveness, Quinn said. You get a chance to see who wants to go for it in the very biggest way. Its another opportunity to shine and do that.Game notesQuinn said he talked in a team meeting about the 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernicks decision to sit for the national anthem before a preseason game. Quinn said he wanted to make sure players consult teammates before taking any similar action to make sure everything is about the team, especially when were at a ballgame as a team.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLJason Vander Laan Jersey .

Rashaan Gaulden Jersey . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year.If momentum is only as good as your last match played, then both Everton and Stoke City should be confident of gaining three points Saturday when the Toffees host the Potters at Goodison Park.TheSE two sides are trying to build on second-round League Cup victories Tuesday over lower-league squads, with each recording 4-0 scorelines. For Everton (1-1-0), it was a clinical victory over League Two side Yeovil Town as Ross Barkley celebrated his first match as captain with a second-half goal to make it 2-0 before Arouna Kone sealed the victory with a late brace.That furthered the momentum of the Toffees 2-1 win at The Hawthorns over West Bromwich Albion in which Barkley assisted on the match-tying goal by Kevin Mirallas. One of the few England players to escape harsh scrutiny from this summers European Championship, Barkley was appreciative new manager Ronald Koeman gave him the armband for the match.Just before the game, the manager said that I would have the armband and just told me what it means to captain Everton Football Club, the 22-year-old told Evertons official website after advancing to a third-round match at Goodison Park against recently relegated Norwich City.I am over the moon to captain the side … Im glad that we won as well.Koeman should have everyone at his disposal save Seamus Coleman despite utilising a strong lineup to take care of The Glovers. Striker Romelu Lukaku made his first start of the season as did newcomers Yannick Bolasie and Ashley Williams from Crystal Palace and Swansea City, respectively.The new manager ruled out a bid for out-of-favour Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart before next Thursdays transfer deadline at his news conference and is also unconcerned Lukaku has yet to find the scoring touch that provided 25 goals in all competitions last season.Im not worried about him scoring goals, they will score, whether its Saturday or in two weeks, Koeman said at his Thursday news conference regarding Lukaku. Hes still not 100 percent of his physical level and thats very important right now. Its not important to score against a League Two team but it is important to score the firsst one.ddddddddddddhe Potters, meanwhile, needed their rout of League Two squad Stevenage to wipe away the bitter taste of a 4-1 thrashing administered by Manchester City over the weekend. Peter Crouch proved to be the unexpected hero as the former England international bagged a hat trick in his first action of the season as Stoke drew Hull City at home for a third-round match next month.The 35-year-old had just two goals in 18 appearances in all competitions last season, so hes hoping Tuesdays performance will be enough to make boss Mark Hughes at least consider him for this weeks 18-man roster.When the chances come along you have to be ready to grab them and show that you warrant a spot in the starting eleven, and hopefully I have been able to do that, Crouch told Stoke Citys official website. Ive not been playing and Ive been frustrated but obviously Ive still been professional about it and still been training to keep fit.For his part, Hughes took the positives of a needed shutout after seeing his team torn apart by an imperious Man City side he tipped to be in contention for the title.We scored four very good goals, controlled the game and earned a clean sheet, the manager said. We were absolutely spot on tonight, and that is how it has to be now, week in week out.Stoke have just one victory in their last nine league matches (1-3-5) dating back to last season. Marko Arnautovic, who led the team with 12 goals last season, has failed to put any of his six shots on target over the first three matches.The road team won both matches last season as Stoke City rallied to a 4-3 victory in the corresponding fixture at Goodison Park on a penalty by Arnautovic in the 91st minute. Everton returned the favour with a 3-0 thrashing at Brittania as Lukaku, Coleman and Aaron Lennon all scored in the first half to avoid a fourth straight league defeat to the Potters.Lukaku had three of Evertons six goals in the two matches last season and has four in eight lifetime matches against Stoke City.Cheap Jerseys [urvertons six goals in the two matches lasurl=http://www.cheapfootballchinajerseys.com/]Wholesale Football Jerseys[/url] Wholesale Basketball Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
