INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts cornerback Patrick Robinson enjoyed getting back to work Thursday.After leaving the Denver game two weeks ago with a concussion, Robinson went through almost two full weeks in the concussion protocol.Finally, on Thursday, he was cleared for full participation and he looks as if hell be starting Sunday in London.He cant wait.Its no fun going through the process like this, especially when you want to be out there on the field, Robinson said Thursday. But Im clear now, and Im ready.The Colts (1-2) are eager to get him back, too, after being so thin in the secondary against Denver that they almost ran out of players to use in their usual nickel package.Now, suddenly, everybody seems to be on the mend.Pro Bowl safety Mike Adams has been the anchor and will continue to play that role.Safety Clayton Geathers, the projected starter heading into training camp, returned two weeks ago after missing all of July, August and the first part of September with an injured foot. After making his season debut against the Broncos, Geathers was sore. This week, not so much.Safety T.J. Green, the rookie who replaced Geathers on the depth chart, returned last week from a sprained knee and has practiced all of this week.And Indys other starting cornerback Vontae Davis finally made it back last week after missing more than a month with a sprained ankle. Hes also expected to start against Jacksonville (0-3) .Its about time.When the injuries hit, first-year defensive coordinator Ted Monachino improvised by shrinking the playbook, using anyone capable of playing and willing to fill in the gaps, held on until key contributors, such as Davis and Robinson, were given the all clear.Now, the Colts can start to open things up.See this smile on my face? Adams said. It feels good. Im not taking anything away from the other guys who filled in, but now that weve got guys healthy, it does make a difference with how we game plan.Adams, Monachino and coach Chuck Pagano havent dropped any hints this week about what might change.But this much is clear: Indy will have far more options available in Week 4 , and they plan to use everything they can against a team that set a franchise record with 51 points in their previous meeting.The further we go down the road with them the better theyll get and right now theyre in a good spot for where theyve been in terms of how far off the injuries they are, Monachino said. I think that theyre all getting better every day, you can see it on the practice field.Game notesThe Colts will be without backup offensive lineman Jonotthan Harrison on Sunday. Pagano said he had an emergency appendectomy this week and is expected to be out at least a week. ... Starting right tackle Joe Reitz (back) and starting right guard Denzelle Good (back) both did limited work in practice Thursday. Its unclear if or how much theyll play Sunday. ... Receiver T.Y. Hilton (knee) and quarterback Andrew Luck (right shoulder) did all the work at practice Thursday. Hilton got an extra day of rest Wednesday, while Luck was limited.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLCheap Patriots Jersey .

After slipping from the summit during the week, the Gunners overcame struggling Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains second-half brace.RIO DE JANEIRO -- It took Swiss mountain biker Nino Schurter eight years to climb all the way up the Olympic podium, a slow ascent that was at times frustrating, heartbreaking and infuriating.He finally reached the top step Sunday.Schurter pulled away from reigning champion Jaroslav Kulhavy of the Czech Republic on the penultimate lap and rode solo to the finish, adding a gold medal to the silver he won at the 2012 London Games and the bronze he captured at the 2008 Beijing Games.I worked hard to complete my medal collection, Schurter said. My story is now perfect.The top two steps of the podium were a reversal of the finish from London, when Kulhavy overtook his biggest rival on the final section of turns at Hadleigh Farm.Schurter broke down in tears that day, so close to achieving his Olympic dream.Now looking back on London, he said, I think it had to be silver there. I worked hard to get stronger and better and Im really happy and satisfied.Schurter and Kulhavy worked together to establish a gap on the rest of the field over the mountain bike course, turned in some places to a quagmire by overnight rain. But the Swiss superstar and reigning world champion was able to up the tempo when it mattered the most.Schurter covered the seven-lap, 34-kilometer course in 1 hour, 33 minutes, 28 seconds. Kulhavy was 50 seconds back while Carlos Coloma of Spain was another 33 seconds adrift to take bronze.This was the most important moment of my career, Coloma said. I had perfect preparation. I had self-confidence. And this is a dream come true.Five-time world champion Julien Absalon of France, who intends to retire after this season, was eighth. World road race champion Peter Sagan had two flat tires and finished out of contention.Sagan decided to ride off road in Rio after scouting the climb-heavy road course and realizing it did not suit his strengths. But the decision earlier this year meant he only had time to squeeze in a couple of mountain bike races, leaving him ranked No. 900 in the world.That also meant he started with the final bib number in the very bacck of the pack.ddddddddddddJust like he did in laying waste to a small race in Wyoming a couple of weeks ago, part of his post-Tour de France training plan, Sagan immediately went to the front of the field.His power came in handy given the conditions.The rain tapered off an hour before the start left, but it left the winding, technical course in the Deodoro neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro a soggy mess. Riders had to dismount and push their bikes over a few particularly slick climbs, slipping and sliding as if they were on ice.Some riders lamented they did not adjust their setup to the conditions.My bike was the same as yesterday, Kulhavy said, but maybe it was a little bit of a mistake because I had a very fast tire in the rear and I had a problem with the muddy hills.Sagans chances ultimately were ruined when his front tire went flat at the start of the second lap. He began working his way back through the field again only for his back tire to go flat.Hardly the only rider to puncture on the stone-strewn course, Sagan finished in 35th place.The race began to string out by the third of seven laps. Schurter and Kulhavy were never more than a few feet apart, the reigning Olympic champ and world champ clearly the strongest riders in the field. Coloma hung with them for a while before slowly losing ground.Absalon was two minutes down by the sixth lap, his chances of another gold medal gone.It was about that point that Schurter finally shook Kulhavy from his rear wheel, dropping the Czech champion with some daring riding on the tricky descents. He was 44 seconds clear at the start of the final lap, all alone on a course jammed with fans.By the final straightaway, Schurter was all alone.Eight years of so many close calls had been wiped away in less than two hours, Schurter at last allowed to step to the top of the podium and h to the top of the podium and hear the Swseys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
