• EAST RUTHERFORD, N. RG3 Autographed Jersey .J. -- The New York Giants will be without NFC offensive player of the week Hakeem Nicks for Thursdays game against the Carolina Panthers (1-1). Nicks, a wide receiver, has a foot injury, adding to the list of absentees when the Super Bowl-champion Giants (1-1) play their first road game of the season. New York made the announcement late Wednesday afternoon after already labeling running back Ahmad Bradshaw, offensive tackle David Diehl and another receiver, Domenik Hixon, out as well. Nicks did not practice this week after aggravating a foot injury late in the 41-34 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a game in which he had 10 catches for 199 yards and a touchdown. There didnt seem to be much concern over his lack of practice because he hasnt practiced much since sitting out almost all of training camp while recovering from a broken foot suffered in May. The Giants even listed him as questionable for the game in their initial injury report Wednesday. However, Nicks did not participate in the final walkthrough, and he did not accompany the team to North Carolina, his home state. With Nicks and Hixon out, the Giants will look to veteran Ramses Barden, second-year pro Jerrel Jernigan and rookie Rueben Randle to fill in. Bradshaw (neck), Diehl (knee) and Hixon (concussion) were hurt in Sundays win over Tampa Bay and did not practice this week. Andre Brown, who rushed for a career-best 71 yards Sunday, probably will start for Bradshaw, while Will Beatty and Sean Locklear will be the offensive tackles. Diehl, who sprained his right medial collateral ligament, has only missed four games in his first nine seasons. Rookie defensive end Adewale Ojomo, who has been bothered by a hamstring injury for weeks, also is listed as out. As far as Nicks is concerned, it indeed is deflating for the receiver. Just one day before the news, he was excited about his anticipated return home. "Its really big for me," he said. "Im really looking forward to it. I have a lot of family and friends that are going to be there." When asked how many tickets he had to purchase, Nicks reply was simple. "A lot." The injury report also has cornerback Michael Coe (hamstring) as questionable, while cornerback Prince Amukamara (ankle) and linebacker Keith Rivers (hamstring) are probable. Both did not play in the 41-34 win over the Buccaneers. Amukamara missed the first two games of the season after being hurt in a preseason game against the Chicago Bears. Robert Griffin III Jersey . Gardner saw Dr. Timothy Kremchek on Thursday for another opinion on the elbow that has kept him out of action since April 18. Kremchek gave Gardner a platelet-rich plasma treatment and a cortisone shot. Alfred Morris Jersey .

It couldnt have felt any sweeter for retiring star Chipper Jones. Freddie Freeman hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to put Atlanta back in the post-season with a 4-3 victory over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.PORTLAND, Ore. -- Wesley Matthews has been waiting for a game like this. Matthews had a season-high 30 points, rookie Damian Lillard had a career-high 28 points and eight assists and the Portland Trail Blazers sent the Minnesota Timberwolves to their fourth straight defeat with a 103-95 win Saturday night. J.J. Hickson had 14 points and 13 rebounds, returning from a shoulder injury for Portland, which has won four of its last five games. LaMarcus Aldridge had 13 points and sat for stretches in foul trouble. Matthews made five of the Blazers 11 3s. Matthews has been steady but not spectacular for Portland this season, averaging 17.3 points while leading the Blazers in 3-point shooting at 44 per cent. His previous season high was 22 points. "There havent been too many games where I could really just let go -- it felt really good," Matthews said. Love had 24 points and 13 rebounds in his second game back for Minnesota, which is 1-5 after winning three of its first four this season. Nikola Pekovic had 18 points and 10 rebounds and Luke Ridnour added 14 points for the Wolves. Portland never looked back after going on a 13-0 run that started just before the end of the third quarter. The Blazers led 88-78 at the end of that run and went up 95-84 after Matthews hit a 3-pointer with 6:16 remaining. "Wes Matthews and Lillard . they just couldnt miss. Its as easy as that," Love said. This first matchup of the season between the teams was highly anticipated on several fronts. It was supposed to mark a Portland homecoming for former Blazers star Brandon Roy, who came out of retirement to join the Wolves this season but is out after having knee surgery Monday. Love is still popular in Portland, where he grew up and attended high school. And Minnesota general manager David Kahn, coach Rick Adelman and much of Adelmans staff have strong ties to the ccity. Authentic Redskins Jerseys. Kahn signed Portlands Nicolas Batum to an offer sheet in the off-season, forcing the Blazers to match the four-year, $44 million offer to keep the fifth-year Frenchman. Batum finished with nine points and five assists, shooting just 3-of-10 from the field, while fighting flu-like symptoms. Love made his season debut Wednesday in the Wolves 101-94 loss against Denver, coming back early after suffering a broken hand doing pushups Oct. 18. He had a huge game, with 34 points and 14 rebounds against the Nuggets. Portland had a three-game winning streak snapped in a 114-87 loss at Phoenix Wednesday night. The Blazers committed 22 turnovers in what was arguably the teams worst performance of the season. They had just 12 turnovers on Saturday. "I think its important for us that how we play is important," Portland coach Terry Stotts said. "Sometimes its not going to be defined by a box score or winning a certain category. Its just playing with a rhythm on the offensive end and with a certain amount of intensity and grit on the defensive end." Minnesota led 41-28 after starting off the second quarter with an 8-0 run and they led 55-50 at the half. But Portland chipped away at the advantage, shooting 61 per cent in the third and pulled ahead 71-69 near the end of the quarter. "We just didnt defend them well enough," Adelman said. "They shot the hell out of the ball, and we didnt finish plays at the basket." Notes: Former NBA star Gary Payton and professional wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper were in attendance. . Minnesota had lost 16 in a row to the Blazers before taking two of three in the series last season. . Love is averaging 30.3 points in his last four games against Portland. . The Blazers wont be back at the Rose Garden for 15 days. Portland plays its next seven games on the road, all against Eastern Conference teams. ' ' '
