Theres a long progression that you have to go through here to return to play

The New York Giants announced Thursday that kicker Josh Brown will not travel with the team to London for Sundays game against the Los Angeles Rams.The team said it will review newly released documents in which Brown admitted to domestic abuse and revisit the issue when the team returns from London.?The NFL also announced that it will review the documents.The Giants do not condone or excuse any form of domestic violence. Josh has acknowledged that he has issues in his life and has been working on these issues through therapy and counseling for a long period of time, the team said. We remain supportive of Josh and his efforts.In an interview with WFAN Radio in New York, Giants co-owner John Mara said the best course was to make Brown inactive this week and that the team hasnt made a decision on his future.Mara also said he was aware of an incident at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii in January, when NFL security had to move Browns wife, Molly, and the couples children to a different hotel room after Josh Brown showed up drunk at her room and was pounding on her door to let him in. Josh Brown and his wife were staying in separate rooms.Mara said Brown admitted to us hed abused his wife in the past. Whats a little unclear is the extent of that.Mara said it was possible the Giants could make a decision on Brown before the NFL does. He also said Brown could go on the commissioners exempt list, as Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson did in 2014 as a result of domestic incidents.?Giants coach Ben McAdoo told WFAN that the Giants will kick the tires on players and sign one to kick in Sundays game. Asked if any player on the team was an emergency kicker, McAdoo mentioned?Odell Beckham Jr., but later said he doesnt expect to use his star wide receiver in that role.Browns admissions were revealed Wednesday by the King County (Washington) Sheriffs Office as part of his final case file, stemming from a May 2015 arrest following an incident with his wife.The sheriffs and prosecutors offices initially decided to postpone the filing of charges, pending further investigation, with the sheriffs office recommending that the prosecutors office file charges of two counts of fourth-degree domestic assault. Charges have not been filed.In one of Browns journal entries obtained as part of the investigation, he wrote, I have abused my wife.The league, which had already conducted its own investigation earlier this year and suspended Brown one game for violation of the leagues conduct policy, said in a statement Thursday that it made repeated attempts to obtain any and all evidence and relevant information from the case.The leagues full statement reads:NFL investigators made repeated attempts -- both orally and in writing -- to obtain any and all evidence and relevant information in this case from the King County Sheriffs Office. Each of those requests was denied and the Sheriffs Office declined to provide any of the requested information, which ultimately limited our ability to fully investigate this matter. We concluded our own investigation, more than a year after the initial incident, based on the facts and evidence available to us at the time and after making exhaustive attempts to obtain information in a timely fashion. It is unfortunate that we did not have the benefit or knowledge of these materials at the time.In light of the release of these documents yesterday, we will thoroughly review the additional information and determine next steps in the context of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. We will not be making any comments on potential discipline until that time.An NFL Players Association source told ESPNs Jane McManus on Thursday that the union was not aware of Browns journal entries that admitted abuse before they were revealed to the media.Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr., who watched his mother suffer abuse when he was a child, took to Twitter to blast Brown and wrote, what a shame NFL acts like it cares. Smith also has called out former Carolina Panthers teammate Greg Hardy in the past for his comments on domestic violence.Former Giants quarterback Sage Rosenfels tweeted that the Giants should cut Brown.Brown was on the practice field with teammates on Thursday afternoon. He has made 11 of his 12 field goal attempts since returning from his suspension.The Giants re-signed him to a two-year, $4 million deal this offseason. Mara said in August the Giants were comfortable re-signing Brown after reviewing all the information at their disposal.McAdoo also said in August that he supported Brown as a man, a father and a player. Robert Newhouse Womens Jersey .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Darren Woodson Womens Jersey .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Tony-Dorsett-Jersey/ . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. Trysten Hill Youth Jersey . LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. Emmitt Smith Youth Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. CINCINNATI -- Tyler Eifert pointed to a crescent-shaped scar surrounding the ball on his left ankle. That little spot is sidelining the Cincinnati Bengals tight end for training camp, and maybe more.He had surgery two months ago to repair a partial ligament tear that he suffered during the Pro Bowl. He was in a cast for six weeks and has to wear a protective boot for at least another week.Eifert was the most prominent Bengal who couldnt participate Friday in the first practice of training camp. Linebacker Rey Maualuga initially had been ruled out because of an offseason injury, but he was cleared to participate a few hours before practice.Eiferts injury is a significant setback to a team still looking for its playoff breakthrough -- no postseason victory in 25 years. Eifert set a club record for touchdown catches by a tight end (13). He became Andy Daltons favorite target near the goal line with his 6-foot-6 frame and dependable hands.He also made his first Pro Bowl. His cleats grabbed the ground on one step and he twisted his foot. Initially it was thought to be an injury that would heal with time, but it never got better.The injury I had -- more times than not you dont have surgery, Eifert said. I did everything right, followed the protocol, and it just didnt heal the way it was supposed to. It was something that had to be done.The season opener is six weeks away -- in New York against the Jets on Sept. 11 -- which doesnt leave much time for him to get the ankle back to full strength and get himself in playing shape. Its possible hell be sidelined or limited for the first few games.Theres a long progression that you have to go through here to return to play, Eifert said. Youve got to be watched by a lot of different eyes and go through a lot of different steps.The injury has convinced Eifert that his first Pro Bowl appearance will be his last.If I ever get asked back, that is, Eifert said. But no. I mean, it wass one of my most favorite weekends Ive ever had, just hanging out with the guys.dddddddddddd Its cool. You play against these guys all year long. Some of the guys have been in the Pro Bowl multiple years that you watched growing up. Youre in the pool hanging out. It was a lot of fun.Then it comes to (game day) and youre on the bus going, `Were going to play a game? Holy .... So it was a great week, but I dont want to risk going through this again.Maualuga initially was ruled out of practice because of an offseason injury that sidelined him for a month. The Bengals will be missing linebacker Vontaze Burfict for the first three games of the season, when he serves his NFL suspension for illegal hits. Maualuga wanted to be on the field for the start of camp.I dont want to just show up a week or two before our first game and (coaches are) trying to rush and get me to do this and do that, he said.Game notes Coach Marvin Lewis theme for this season -- featured on black shirts he left in each players locker -- is Pound The Rock, with a logo of two crossed hammers. I just feel like once the last season ended and I began thinking about 2016, we had to stay the course and we had to keep pounding, he said. ... Maualuga had a new look: black and orange dreadlocks. He and Burfict agreed to get their heads shaved as a new look for the season, but Maualuga changed his mind. Eventually I will, Maualuga said. My daughter tells me to cut it all the time, so in due time I will. ... Rookie WR Tyler Boyd took a pitch on a reverse and threw a touchdown on the third play of 11-on-11 drills, filling the versatile role of former WR Mohamed Sanu. They brought me here to suit my athleticism all around the field, Boyd said.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
