FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons running back Tevin Coleman said Wednesday he is 100 percent healthy after missing three straight games with a hamstring injury.The Falcons (6-4) are coming off their bye week, and Coleman said the extra time was really perfect for me.Coleman had no restrictions in Wednesdays practice for Sundays game against Arizona.The extra week let me get extra work in to feel 100 percent, Coleman said.The return of Coleman gives Atlanta its top two running backs against the Cardinals No. 1 ranked defense. The first-place Falcons are trying to protect a one-game lead over Tampa Bay in the NFC South.Coleman was sharing time with starter Devonta Freeman before suffering the injury on Oct. 23 against San Diego. Colemans five rushing touchdowns lead the team, and he adds a big-play threat to the passing game. Despite missing the three games, he is fifth on the team with 19 catches for 330 yards with one touchdown.The Falcons need the added punch Coleman provides to the passing game after placing tight end Jacob Tamme on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.The return of a healthy Coleman put a smile on the face of offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.Id been anticipating it, Id been hoping for it, Id been praying for it, Shanahan said after the practice. Its going well so far, so knock on wood that it keeps continuing.Shanahan said Coleman does change the field even when he doesnt touch the ball, due to his threat to make an explosive play.You hope he gets the numbers to show for it, but even if he doesnt he affects the game when youre a talented player like him, Shanahan said.Arizona is expected to match its star cornerback Patrick Peterson against Falcons receiver Julio Jones.We know we have our work cut out for us, but we have some matchups that we like, too, coach Dan Quinn said. Thats why were so excited to have our full complement of guys back, with the exception of Tamme to IR. Past that, were ready to get rocking, too.Jones had 10 catches for 189 yards and one touchdown against Peterson and the Cardinals in 2014.Hes one of the top corners in the league, Jones said. Im up there with the top receivers in the league. ... Its definitely bigger than me and him. Weve got 10 other guys out there with us. Its going to be fun, though, because hes a guy who comes and competes every play and Im going to do the same.The bye week also helped cornerback Desmond Trufant return from a shoulder injury, but punter Matt Bosher missed practice with a hamstring injury. Quinn said Bosher also wont practice Thursday.The team signed free agent punter Matt Wile to the 53-man roster this week after placing tight end Jacob Tamme on IR following shoulder surgery.Bosher, who also handles kickoffs, is expected to test his injury in Fridays practice. Then well make a determination after that on his availability for the game, Quinn said.Asked if he is worried about the possibility of using Wile, who has never kicked in a NFL game, Quinn said Well, yeah. But well leave that worry to later and well see him practice and perform all week.Game notes The Falcons released RB Stevan Ridley and promoted CB Deji Olatoye from the practice squad. Ridley had three carries for seven yards against Tampa Bay on Nov. 3.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL China Shoes Outlet . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand.

Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. Dan Boyles impressive NHL career is an interesting tale of both where the game has been and gone. He loves the game. He wants it to thrive. He wants fans to enjoy it. And because of that, the defenseman worries for it again today almost just as much as he did when he entered the league, undrafted, in the late 1990s during the heyday of the clutch and grab.When I started, you wanted the big defenseman that could hold up and chip the puck out, Boyle, who announced his retirement last Wednesday, told ESPN.com. There was no room for the smaller guy because it was too physical of a game. Then they take out the red line and everyone is going to fly, everyone is going to wheel.Those post-2005 lockout years were fun for a while, as rule changes -- such as no longer using the red line to prevent teams from making two-line passes -- helped open the game.But obviously coaches evolve, and the game evolves, said Boyle, a puck-moving magician during his 17 years in the NHL. And now, in todays game, youve got guys -- top guys included -- all blocking shots, breaking hands, breaking ankles. Youve got coaches wanting everyone to flip the puck in, dump the puck in.And the play that I hated the most in the post-red line era is when teams set up behind their own net and fire these long bombs to the forward at the opposite blueline, who just puts his blade out and then the puck is in the other zone. And nothing happens. I hated that. If theres a red line there, it forces the D-man to make a play. I am one of those guys who would love to see the red line back.It just so happens this is exactly what hockeys greatest defenseman believes too. For a few years now, including in his 2013 autobiography, Bobby Orr has espoused the belief that the red line needs to be reinstated, not just for the reasons Boyle brought up, but also because of safety concerns. Orr points to the fact that the game is faster than ever and feels its become dangerous because of it due to the the speed through the neutral zone and the kind of hits players are taking at that velocity.Putting the red line back in, perhaps, would not only force defensemen to make higher-end passing plays again (and maybe create turnovers in the process), but also slow the game down a bit. In fact, Orr feels the red-line should be restored at the youth hockey level so that defensemen develop the ability to make passing plays through the neutral zone.Theres no question that the game is faster than ever, and the players arguably more skilled then ever. But are they being allowed to use most of that skill?Right now, where the game is, is get the puck out of your zone as soon as possible and get it in the other zone as soon as possible. Dont make plays, dont go across ice, just get it in, said Boyle. There are so many skilleed players in the league today, but the game at times now is robotic.ddddddddddddThe neutral zone has been eliminated.Somewhere between the start of his career during the dead puck era and todays game, there were years in which Boyle says the sport was more fun to watch for fans.There was a very good game somewhere in between the clutch-and-grab when I started and the new era now, said the 40-year-old Ottawa native. The most exciting five minutes of hockey Ive ever seen as the overtime between Sweden and Team North America (at the World Cup last month). Now coaches dont want to play that way because its breakaway after breakaway. Im not saying we should go Globetrotter-hockey and go crazy. Im just saying from talking to teammates and ex-teammates, guys want to make plays.Boyle then paused. As always, his passion for the game comes through. Hes grateful for everything it has given him. He feels so privileged to have played in the NHL. But hes coming at this from the angle of a guy who just wants the game to be as entertaining as possible for fans.Theres just so many good, young hockey players out there now, Boyle said. I just wish more of them could be allowed to make plays.Dont get him wrong: Boyle strongly believes in situational play, that its important to understand whos on the ice and who youre playing against. There are times, such as when youre protecting a lead late in a period or a game, when its the right call to chip it in off the glass and get it deep in a safe area. He just feels the entire 60 minutes shouldnt be played that way.And again, he stressed that hes coming at this from a fans perspective -- which, for all intents and purposes, he is now that hes retired.It seems to me that the NHL could use his experience and his mind for the game. But for now, Boyle is going to lay low as he builds a home in the San Jose area and enjoys life with his wife and two daughters.I dont see myself doing anything (in hockey) for a while. How long is a while? I dont know. Im not going to jump right back into it, said Boyle. I dont have any plans. I love the game, I think Ill be associated with it somehow down the road, I dont know where and how.A Stanley Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist, Boyle reflects on something that makes him smile.Kris Letang, when he was younger, and Drew Doughty, they each came up to me and said I was the guy that they emulated, said Boyle. Just like I would have told Brian Leetch, had I met him when I was young. But that means the world to me, that I would have left that impression on two of the best defensemen in the game today.Now, if only they could be allowed to make more plays, right? ' ' '
