ORCHARD PARK, N. Air Force 1 2020 .Y. -- Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins?will return to practice Wednesday after the team designated him as its one player to return from injured reserve this season.Watkins ran routes with receivers during individual drills before spending the final minute of practice open to reporters on an exercise bike, under supervision of the teams strength and conditioning staff.Right now, Im not feeling normal out there, Watkins said after practice. But I think two or three days, Ill start feeling back like myself and moving around. I probably ran 20 something plays today. Ran them pretty fast, moving at a high rate of speed.The Bills placed Watkins on injured reserve Sept. 30 with lingering soreness stemming from offseason surgery to repair a broken bone in his left foot.Trainers have advised Watkins to be safe about how hard he practices as he returns to action.Because Im a guy that I got to do everything full speed, Watkins said. Now I learned like, Hey, man, you aint go to do it full speed. Go out there, run it pretty fast, but you dont got to be like gameday every rep. The plays I thought I had to run full speed, I did. And the plays that I didnt think I need to run full speed, I didnt.Watkins is eligible to play in Sundays game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, although coach Rex Ryan did not commit to Watkins being activated for the contest.I really dont know. I think well know a little more today, Ryan said before Wednesdays practice. Obviously were encouraged by the fact that he has been cleared to participate. It think thats a good sign. He feels good, so well see how it goes. Were gonna run him until his tongue is hanging out. Well be smart with him in how many plays we do. Well limit him today, but then well see how he progresses.Is there a chance that he could play? I hope so.Watkins deferred to trainers on whether he will play Sunday.I dont know. They havent told me, Watkins said. I got to go and watch the film and they got to see if Im babying the injury or not. I got to let them deal with that and see what Im going to do.The Bills have until Dec. 14 to add Watkins to their active roster or he will revert to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.Watkins did not rule out an additional surgery on his foot if he does not feel healthy in his return.If I feel like its not healed the right way, just go get surgery and come back the next year and get healed up, he said. But right now, Im feeling pretty good.Watkins last played in a Sept. 15 loss to the New York Jets. He has six catches for 63 yards in two games this season.The Bills are expected to be without leading receiver Robert Woods in Sundays game against Jacksonville. Woods sprained his knee in last Sundays win over Cincinnati.Running back LeSean McCoy participated in Wednesdays practice on a limited basis after undergoing surgery on his left thumb Sunday night and is expected to play against the Jaguars.I think well lean on him, and also well just keep watching him as he goes, Ryan said of McCoy. I think the big thing is making sure his thumb doesnt get infected. Thats the number one thing. If that stays clean, and theres no issue there, I think hes gonna be OK. Air Force 1 Retro Outlet .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. Air Force 1 Green Outlet . The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed. https://www.cheapairforce1outlet.com/ . Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million. But he said he did nothing improper when he sold those shares over the next two days. Match factsWednesday, 23 November Start time 0930 local (0730 GMT)Big PictureDespite West Indies big win in Harare, on paper, these are two well-matched teams with plenty to play for: the winner will be guaranteed their place in the tri-series final. The relative inexperience in both squads makes it hard to pick an out-and-out favourite, and conditions in Bulawayo should also be a leveller. West Indies tied game against Zimbabwe will at least have acclimatised them a little more to the pitch and conditions at Queens, as Sri Lankas first match was rained off.Sri Lanka also have some ground to make up against West Indies after their trouncing in Harare. Their middle order remains unproven, and if this series can be viewed as something of an audition for the upcoming tour of South Africa, there will be several young players hungry to state their case - particularly against the greater firepower of West Indies quicks.Youth and international inexperience are also in no short supply for West Indies at the moment. It is obviously very early days yet, but without a head coach, and with virtually all of West Indies established senior batsmen in the wilderness, young captain Jason Holder desperately needs his peers to gel into a new core for the side. Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaites promising form will give him something to build and bank on, while Carlos Brathwaites bowling has been fairly effective in Zimbabwe.Both for this team and for the immediate future of West Indies cricket, every win is an important one in these circumstances. Though still ninth in the ICC ODI rankings, they are just one point behind Pakistan, and a strong show in their remaining games will put them within touching distance of Bangladesh at No. 7. Between now and September 30, 2017, the cut-off date for direct qualification for the 2019 World Cup, West Indies currently have 11 ODIs scheduled (not including the final of this tri-series), but eight of those matches are against a resurgent England ODI side, and five of those are in England. Thats a tough assignment for what could still be a fairly inexperienced squad, and so West Indies have a lot more than a place in Sundays final to play for tomorrow.Form guide(Last five completed matches, most recent first)Sri Lanka: LWLLLWest Indies: TWLLLIn the spotlightShai Hopes good form will buoy West Indies, and make him a target for Sri Lanka, while Suranga Lakmal will have to be at his best behaviour after he was fined 50% of his match fee for aggressively throwing the ball towards Zimbabwe opener Chamu Chibhabha during Mondays wash-out. Yet, the spotlight might be focussed on what is happening above Queens, rather than on the ground.All three teams will have an eye on the weather on Wednesday. If there is another wash-out, Zimbabwe will effectively be out of the running, needing a massive bonus-point win to draw level and increase their net run-rate. The threat of rain also makes the toss important - inclement weather is more likely in the afternoon, meaning there could be Duckworth-Lewis permutations while chasing. Finally, the drainage issues at Queens mean that even relatively modest rain could rule a match out entirely.There are two main areas of concern on the outfield, should it rain again - on the northern side of the ground, and also near the sight screen at the Airport End. Air Force 1 Online. Should there be any significant showers during this game, in the absence of a super sopper, drainage will be an issue, especially after the heavy rains of the last few days have saturated the soil.Teams newsSri Lankas XI barely got a look-in on Monday, and given that conditions are likely to be identical, there is no reason for Sri Lanka to fiddle with their line-up. The grip on this slow surface makes Dasun Shanaka a good pick.Sri Lanka (possible): 1 Dhananjaya de Silva, 2 Kusal Perera, 3 Niroshan Dickwella (wk), 4 Kusal Mendis, 5 Upul Tharanga (capt), 6 Asela Gunaratne, 7 Dasun Shanaka, 8 Sachith Pathirana, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Suranga Lakmal, 11 Jeffrey VandersayWith two wickets in his last five games, and none in this series, the form of Sulieman Benn will be a worry for West Indies. Aside from Ashley Nurse, the other spin option in their squad is Devendra Bishoo, and given his gritty performance in the Tests against Pakistan last month, this change makes sense. Another player they might want to give a game to is Jason Mohammed, the hard-hitting middle-order batsman, though West Indies may want to secure their place in the final before tinkering with their top-six.West Indies (possible): 1 Johnson Charles, 2 Kraigg Brathwaite, 3 Evin Lewis, 4 Shai Hope (wk), 5 Jonathan Carter, 6 Rovman Powell, 7 Jason Holder (c), 8 Carlos Brathwaite, 9 Ashley Nurse, 10 Devendra Bishoo, 11 Shannon Gabriel.Pitch and conditionsThe heavy downpours on Monday morning were followed by sunny and dry weather in the afternoon as well as the following day. Yet, the rainfall patterns at this time of the year are difficult to predict, and though the forecast suggests that Wednesday should be sunny and dry, some sort of precipitation is out of the question. Weather aside, there should be some early movement for the seamers who will be aided by cloud cover, as well as what appears to be a shade more green grass that has been left on the track for Wednesdays match. The track will probably still slow down to help the spinners later in the day.Stats and triviaWith 148 runs from two innings, Shai Hope is the leading run-scorer of the tri-series as well as the only century-maker.Shannon Gabriel, Carlos Brathwaite and Nuwan Kulasekara top the wickets table with five each, although Kulasekara has played one more (albeit truncated) game than the two West Indians.West Indies have played six ODIs at Queens Sports Club, winning three.In eight ODIs against West Indies, Kulasekara has taken 12 wickets at 22.08.QuotesWe know were playing good cricket. We had a good win against Sri Lanka [in Harare]. These lads work very hard on their fitness, and we do a lot of fielding drills in the days leading up to these matches, and the combination of those two things is starting to pay dividends. Were looking like a good fielding side, and at this level of the game, every run you stop is a run you dont have to score. West Indies batting coach Toby Radford has been most pleased with the young batsmen on this tour, but he has also noticed improvements in the field. ' ' '
