FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Eric Decker sat out his second straight practice with a shoulder injury, increasing the possibility he could miss the New York Jets game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.Decker did not even participate in stretching with the team Thursday, standing on the sideline in street clothes while his teammates practiced.Its a concern, coach Todd Bowles said of whether it could be a multi-week injury. Hopefully its not, but if it is, were getting other guys ready to play. Ill see where he is (Friday) before I can make a decision on how serious, or not serious it is.Decker injured the shoulder against Buffalo on Sept. 15, but it worsened last Sunday during the Jets loss at Kansas City . The wide receiver said after the game that the shoulder was sore, but it appears it could be worse than that.Bowles said Wednesday that Decker would probably have an MRI on the shoulder, but that still hadnt happened as of Thursday afternoon.He could be, Bowles said. Theyre still discussing it.Bowles said there was no particular reason for any delay in Decker having the MRI, but the coach was also asked if theres any downside to him just having the exam performed, regardless.Im not a doctor, Bowles said. I dont talk about injures. They tell me what theyre doing and I go with it. If a guy practices, I let him and I got something to say. If he doesnt and hes hurt, they take care of it. Im not going in and demanding that he have an MRI. Im sure they have their reasons and that isnt my call.In other injuries, left tackle Ryan Clady was limited for the second straight day by a shoulder issue, but Bowles was not concerned that it could keep Clady from playing.Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson was limited with an ankle ailment that Bowles said was just maintenance.Cornerback Darrelle Revis was a full participant after not practicing Wednesday with an ankle injury.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Michael Brantley Jersey .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Corey Kluber Jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. http://www.indiansteamproshop.com/Indians-Jim-Thome-Kids-Jersey/ . After Martin Skrtel put the Reds in front from close range at Stamford Bridge after only four minutes, Hazard hit back in the 17th with a superb strike. Etoo gave Jose Mourinhos team a decisive lead from Oscars back pass in the 34th. Satchel Paige Jersey . After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday. Ricky Vaughn Jersey AKRON, Ohio -- Matt Kuchar finished with a 12-foot birdie at the Bridgestone Invitational, which had no bearing on the outcome but still had a few ramifications.Kuchar tied for third, so that putt was worth an additional $249,250. It cost Jordan Spieth enough world ranking points that Dustin Johnson moved ahead of him to No. 2 by the slimmest of margins.And that birdie putt could send Kuchar to the Olympics.Whether he earns a spot in Rio de Janeiro is now out of Kuchars hands. The Americans are allowed the maximum four players because all of them are among the top 15 in the world ranking, and the birdie allowed him to move to No. 15. Still to be announced is which four Americans will go to Rio.Of the top four in the world ranking -- Johnson (2), Spieth (3), Bubba Watson (5) and Rickie Fowler (7) -- Watson is the only one who has said he is going. The biggest question marks of that group are Spieth and Fowler. Thats why Kuchars birdie putt was so important, because if two Americans choose not to go, those spots could end up going to Patrick Reed and Kuchar.Kuchar wants to play in the Olympics, though its still a long way off. Not only does he need at least two players to withdraw, he has to be sure he stays among the top 15 in the world ranking after this week.Olympic qualifying is based on the world ranking published next Monday, and that brings Phil Mickelson into the equation. Mickelson would have to finish alone in second at the Scottish Open -- he won the last time it was held at Castle Stuart -- to move ahead of Kuchar and be in position for any Olympic withdrawals. If Lefty were to win, he would have a mathematical chance to move ahead of Reed as the first U.S. alternate.J.B. Holmes, Shane Lowry and Chris Wood also are at Castle Stuart and could bump Kuchar from the top 15 if they were to win. A victory by Wood likely would be enough for him to reach No. 15 and give the U.K. three players.---HURLEY Game notes Billy Hurley III already delivered one of the most inspirational stories of the year when the former Naval officer won the Quicken Loans National at Congressional not far from his Virginia home, a tournament created to honor the military.Then, he chose to give up his spot in the British Open to honor a family commitment -- his sisters wedding.And it keeps getting better.For the last few years, PGA Tour rules officials and other key employees have been receiving handwritten notes from Hurley thanking them for their work. When asked about this, Hurley smiled and said, I write a lot of notes.Its a lost art that goes back decades. Arnold Palmer once showed the way to a young Jack Nicklaus on writing thank-you notes to tournament directors in the 1960s. Hurley goes beyond that.I write to the tournament director, the superintendent and title sponsors, at least at the tournaments Im playing, he said. And then the whole tour staff. Theres a lot of people that make this possible.Hurley doesnt know where he picked up this habit.I just think its the right thing to do, he said. They work hard for us. I dont know what their salaries are, but its not what ours are.---HOME SWEET HOME: Shane Lowry is playing the PGA Tour as a member for the first time this year, and what he hopes is many years to come.But he has no plans for moving his home base away from Ireland. His role model is Padraig Harrington, a PGA Tour member for more than a decade who has never followed othher Europeans by getting a home in Florida.ddddddddddddI cant see myself moving to the States at all, Lowry said. As everyone knows, Im quite friendly with Padraig, so hes done it for the last 15 years, traveled over and back. Im not finding it too difficult.Lowry typically plays two or three weeks in a row before going back to Ireland. He usually can get out Sunday night and be home Monday.Dublin is my home now in Ireland, and I see that being the case for the next while, he said.And how does he practice in the winter?I dont, Lowry said with a laugh. The weather is obviously not great. You can get out and hit shots for an hour. I just need to keep the rust away for me. ... I might play nine holes with my friends. Im not one of these guys that feels like I need to practice all every day. If I play nine holes four, five times a week, Im pretty happy.---McGIRT DOES EUROPE: Memorial winner William McGirt is excited about his first trip to the British Open, mainly because of links golf, but also one other oddity.Ive never been to Europe, McGirt said.Yes, he has a passport. McGirt played in South America when he was on the Web.com Tour, and he played in Malaysia in 2012. He qualified for the Open by being in the top 20 in the FedEx Cup, and hes going over on the charter from Philadelphia.Im looking forward to playing a completely different style of golf, he said. I grew up playing a golf course not manicured anywhere close to what we have out here. So I learned to play bump-and-run shots. Being able to use your imagination, thats the biggest thing Im looking forward to, where theres no such thing as a standard shot.---DIVOTS: Bubba Watson is all in for the Olympics, but he is leaving caddie Ted Scott at home. Watson said longtime friend Randall Wells will be on the bag for him in Rio. ... Jean Van de Velde, who lost a three-shot lead on the final hole in the 1999 British Open at Carnoustie, is making his PGA Tour Champions debut this week in the Dicks Sporting Goods Classic. ... The Greenbrier Classic has been canceled because of deadly flooding, but the charter flight to the British Open is still going. The same plane that takes players and others who would have been at The Greenbrier is the one that takes them from Scotland to the Canadian Open. The only difference? It now leaves Sunday night from Philadelphia. ... John Daly will be keeping a busy schedule the next two months. He begins his stretch of majors at Royal Troon for the British Open and Carnoustie for the Senior British Open. Then, its back over the ocean to New Jersey for the PGA Championship at Baltusrol. Two weeks later, he has the U.S. Senior Open at Scioto in Ohio before heading back across the Atlantic to play the Czech Masters on the European Tour.---STAT OF THE WEEK: The winners of the three World Golf Championships this year all won in their previous start -- Adam Scott (Honda Classic, WGC-Cadillac Championship), Jason Day (Arnold Palmer Invitational, WGC-Dell Match Play) and Dustin Johnson (U.S. Open, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational).---FINAL WORD: I work in the Army 14 years. ... And training every morning, thats why we come to play golf, I think really easy. -- Thongchai Jaidee, a former paratrooper in Thailand, after his eighth European Tour victory in the French Open. ' ' '
