Adelaide coach Don Pyke says hes highly confident gun onballer Brad Crouch will sign a new deal in the coming weeks. Antoine Griezmann Jersey .There are reports the 22-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has agreed to terms for an extension which will keep him at West Lakes until the end of 2020.Clearly, hes a wanted player and thats been communicated clearly to Brad in terms of where the contract sits, Pyke said on Thursday.We remain really confident that well be able to sign Brad pretty shortly.Securing a new deal for Crouch would represent a big win for Adelaide after a number of Melbourne-based clubs were linked to the Victorian.The powerful midfielder, who gathered a season-best 34-touches in Adelaides 138-point flogging of Brisbane on Saturday, is considered a key figure in the Crows midfield plans following the departure of Patrick Dangerfield.Crouch missed games early in the season with a hamstring injury and was dropped to the SANFL after struggling for form but has since strung together seven consecutive games and played some of his best football.I know there was a period there where he was a bit frustrated when he was looking to play AFL footy, Pyke said.It was always part of the plan in my eyes to get him back (to the SANFL) to give him the confidence in his body and how he was playing so that when he came back in wed see this sort of form.Its good from a coaching viewpoint because its validated our approach towards him and how we tried to manage him.I think hes now seeing the benefit in terms of being able to play the way we know he can play with his explosive speed and ball-winning ability and hes able to do it through four quarters.Crouch, whose younger brother Matt has also cemented a spot in the Crows midfield this year, has had a cursed injury run during his short career, missing all of last season with a foot injury and breaking his leg in 2014.He finished second behind Gold Coasts Jaeger OMeara in AFL Rising Star voting in his debut season in 2013.Pyke meanwhile confirmed ruckman Sam Jacobs will miss Sundays clash with Fremantle at Subiaco Oval after struggling to recover from an ankle injury.His absence means rookie Reilly OBrien will go head-to-head with imposing Dockers star Aaron Sandilands. Blaise Matuidi Jersey .

A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. The New York Jets quarterback drama took an unexpected turn Monday, with an MRI revealing a torn ACL for Geno Smith.As a result, the Jets will change starters for the second time in six days. Ryan Fitzpatrick, benched last week in favor of Smith, will start Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, coach Todd Bowles announced.Smith will visit Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday for a second opinion, but the Jets expect him to require season-ending surgery. His right knee twisted awkwardly Sunday on a second-quarter sack by Baltimore Ravens linebacker Matt Judon.The 26-year-old Smith likely has played his final game with the Jets. He will be a free agent, and he doesnt factor into the teams long-term plans.When you hear [the news], its tough luck for the kid and you go from there, Bowles said. Fitz finished the game up, and well go on from there with Fitz.At this point, Fitzpatrick is their only viable option.Second-year quarterback Bryce Petty, who has no regular-season experience, returned to practice only two weeks ago from a preseason shoulder injury. He is not ready to start, according to Bowles, who feels the same way about rookie Christian Hackenberg.Petty likely will be the No. 2 quarterback, but Bowles was noncommittal, saying he would make a decision based on practice. Bowles said he wont dress three quarterbacks.Fitzpatrick replaced Smith and rallied the Jets to a 24-16 win over the Ravens, snapping a four-game losing streak, but his strong comments after the game overshadowed his performance.Still bothered by last weeks benching, Fitzpatrick said he believes the coach, general manager and owner stopped believing in him.Bowles, commenting for the first time on Fitzpatricks postgame venting, said he will discuss the matter with his quarterback. At the same time, the coach downplayed the headline-making remmarks. Laurent Koscielny Jersey. If pissed off is going to stop the turnovers, then Im more than happy to have him play pissed off the whole time, Bowles said.Its a show-me game, he continued. Its not about belief or non-belief. People get assigned to do jobs, and they do them. If I dont do my job or the GM doesnt do his job and the quarterback doesnt do his job and the team doesnt do their job, eventually theyll replace us all.I know Fitz. I know what he means. I have no problem with him venting his frustrations. He can use it as a positive. If thats going to cause us to win more games and be pissed off, so be it.Fitzpatrick was benched after a 1-5 start, during which he threw a league-high 11 interceptions. Smith, starting for the first time since Dec. 28, 2014, completed 4 of 8 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown before the injury.After the game, Smith didnt seem alarmed, saying he didnt think the injury was significant.The Jets plan was to give Smith a long leash, at least four starts, before re-evaluating the position and their season at the bye week.This was the second major injury in 14 months for Smith, whose 2015 season was ruined when he was punched in the face by a teammate during a locker room altercation in training camp. His jaw was broken, and he missed two months. By the time he was healthy, he had lost the starting job to Fitzpatrick, who parlayed a career year into a one-year, $12 million contract.He caught a bad break two years in a row, Bowles said of Smith. Obviously, Im sure hell bounce back from it, but its the tough part of the business.In other injury news, center?Nick Mangold underwent an MRI that revealed a sprained ankle.
