  • LAKE FOREST, Ill. Wholesale NFL Jerseys . -- Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte expects to play Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys after missing a game because of a sprained right ankle. The Pro Bowl player practiced Wednesday for the first time since he was injured in a loss at Green Bay on Sept. 13. He sat out last weeks win over the St. Louis Rams. He responded, "Uh huh, yeah," when asked if he expects to play against the Cowboys. Forte went through individual drills Wednesday and said he felt "pretty good." "I can sprint. So I think Ill be good to go," he added. Coach Lovie Smith tempered the optimism a bit, saying Forte is "making progress every day " "I would hold off on ..." Smith said, his voice trailing off. "Hes got a long ways to go, still. But he is making progress, and hopefully we can get him out there." Either way, the fact that Forte was back practicing was a good sign for the Bears. He went to the locker room midway through the third quarter against Green Bay after he appeared to twist his right ankle while being tackled by Charles Woodson, leaving Chicago without one of its top players in a game. That was a big blow for an offence that was already struggling after an impressive opener against Indianapolis, and things werent much better last week. The defence came to the rescue, leading the Bears to a 23-6 win over the Rams. Forte, meanwhile, said he didnt think he would miss much time because the ankle didnt swell up much last week. "Thats the big part," he said. "When the swelling is big, it takes a long time to get it out, but I didnt really swell up so I knew Id be back pretty soon." Wholesale Jerseys China .

The sixth-seeded Williams fired a career-high 23 aces, the most ever in a Wimbledon womens match during the 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 9-7 win that took nearly 2 1/2 hours. It was a statistical see-saw for Williams, who had 54 winners and 24 unforced errors, but after a break of serve following an overpowering return gave her an 8-7 lead, she was barely able to close out her opponent. Zheng fought off a pair of match points and seemed ready to turn back a third when her return was headed down the line. Williams, though, was in the right spot and the return into the open court finally put an end to the match and moved the American into the fourth round at Wimbledon for a sixth straight year. The 25th-seeded Zheng won the first set when Williams sent a backhand wide to end the tiebreaker, but the second set was dominated by the 13-time Grand slam champion. Williams, who moved to 6-0 all-time against Zheng, will face Kazakhstans Yaroslava Shhvedova in the fourth round. Wholesale MLB Jerseys.
