ASHBURN, Va. -- Josh Doctson is inching his way back from an Achilles tendon injury, though the Washington Redskins still dont know when the wide receiver will be ready to practice with the team, let alone play in a game.Doctsons sore left Achilles tendon was a day-to-day problem when it first occurred in May and was still considered that at the start of training camp in late July. Now its an injury without a timeframe for return, even as Doctson ramps up the work hes doing off to the side during practices.Hes progressing nicely, coach Jay Gruden said Wednesday. Its exciting to see him with a sweat going. He did a little more work and we are just going to take it gradually day by day and were not going to rush it. Were going to try to do more and more as weeks go by.Doctson is definitely out for the Redskins second preseason game Friday against the New York Jets, and itd be difficult to imagine him being ready to face the Buffalo Bills a week later. There are still more than three weeks left until Washington opens the regular season Sept. 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.But Gruden hasnt ruled out the first-round pick being available for the opener. Theres just no guarantee at this point whether Doctson will be ready.I dont have any expectations for him whatsoever, Gruden said when asked about Week 1. Im just trying to adhere and listen to what the trainers are telling me, how he is feeling and ask Josh how he is feeling and I dont know. Well just have to wait and see. Hes going to progress slowly. Well take our time with him and when he feels right and the time is right, then we will push him hard and then let him practice.Doctsons injury is the one real hiccup at Redskins camp, which has been refreshingly boring for an organization accustomed to chaos. Starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, not the attention magnet that Robert Griffin III is, said Monday he wants the Redskins to be like the San Antonio Spurs -- super boring and at the end of the season have people say, Wow, they really had a good year and no one really talked about it.Receiver DeSean Jackson is ready to embrace that.If youre familiar with San Antonio, they win a lot of games and championships, Jackson said. However he wants to compare, hopefully we can go out there and back it up and do the plan on the field.Doctson was part of the plan after the Redskins picked him 22nd overall out of TCU. His Achilles injury has thrown things off so far.Jackson dealt with a lingering hamstring injury last season and said he has told Doctson to take his time and not rush back.Just telling him to be smart with it, Jackson said. Hes doing everything he needs to do, everything theyre asking and things like that, so he should be fine.Doctson is missing valuable practice and game reps, but he does the Redskins no good if the Achilles tendon injury lingers on even longer. Gruden said even though he hasnt seen an injury like this in a receiver before, the only path to health involves patience.Its just going to take rest, but once its gone I think itll be gone, Gruden said. And thats our hope that it doesnt come back, so we want to make sure that we get it cured now.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL New Balance Cheap Australia .

CLEVELAND -- Blinking back tears, LeBron James extended his right ring finger, the one sparkling with 400 diamonds, and touched the championship banner.As it rose from a golden, miniature Cleveland skyline toward the ceiling, Queens We Are The Champions filled Quicken Loans Arena and Cavs fans sang along with Freddie Mercury just as they did in June.And, incredibly, this was just the warm-up act for a night this city wont soon forget.Welcome to the center of the sports galaxy -- Cleveland, Ohio.On the same night the Cavs celebrated their historic comeback in the NBA Finals, winning a title that not only ended a 52-year drought in Cleveland but energized an entire region, the Indians hosted Game 1 of the World Series against the Chicago Cubs next door at Progressive Field.A perfect sports storm on the shores of Lake Erie.This type of thing never happened in Cleveland, where sports heartbreak was passed down from generation to generation like family heirlooms. But those days are over. This is a new Cleveland -- city of champions.The Cavs flipped that tired sports script, storming back from a 3-1 deficit to shock the 73-win Golden State Warriors and give Cleveland its first title since 1964, when the Browns won the NFL title. Before receiving their rings on Tuesday night -- about an hour before the Indians and Cubs got started -- Cleveland re-lived those special days earlier this summer when one its teams finally fought its way all the way to the top.James was the final player to be introduced and handed his 6.5 karat ring by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. After slipping it on his hand, James, the kid from Akron who delivered on his promise to win a title for Cleveland, looked at the jewelry with admiration and perhaps some astonishment.Yes, it really happened. Here.This is for you guys, James told the crowd, repeating a message he screamed after the Cavs won Game 7 at Oracle Arena on June 19. This is all for you.James paused and then reminded Cleveland that it remains underdogs -- even in victory.At this point, if youre not from here, live here, play here ... then it makes no sense for you to live at this point, said the three-time champion. Cleveland against the world.James made sure to wish luck to the Indians, who overcame adversity all season and won their first AL pennant since 1997. Theyre trying to end a 68-year Series title drought against the Cubs, those lovable losers 108 years removed from their last championship.Once the pomp and pageantry ended, James posted a triple-double as the Cavs opened the season with a 117-88 win over the New York Knicks. The Cubs-Indians game was shown on smaller scoreboards during timeouts and James, now 3-0 in ring ceremony gamees, applauded from the bench when he saw Robert Perezs homer give Cleveland a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning.ddddddddddddIn the moments before they took the floor for the ceremony, the Cavs, wearing new white-and-gold warmups with 2016 NBA Champions written on the back, looked like little kids getting ready to storm the Christmas tree and tear open presents. Kyrie Irving did a little dance in the hallway outside Clevelands locker room and shared a big hug with Kevin Love before James joined them and the team headed into the darkened arena where 20,000-plus fans roared.Following a video that showed highlights from the epic Game 7 -- James huge block, Irvings 3-pointer -- Silver introduced Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, who has spared no expense in building a super team. Clevelands starting five this season will make $100 million in salary.Gilberts gotten greedy, and Cleveland fans dont mind one bit. After all, most of them have waited a lifetime to see one title.Why not another.When this is all over and that banner goes up there, there is really only one thing left to do -- repeat, Gilbert said. And, go Tribe.There was still an opener to play, but that hardly mattered.In the hours leading up to the ceremony and Game 1, fans of the Indians, Cavs -- and a sizeable contingent of Cubs backers -- posed for photos around the two buildings. They were savoring a day many never dreamed possible.Indians outfielder Coco Crisp stopped and signed autographs on his stroll to work. For Crisp, in his second stint with Cleveland after the Indians traded for him in August, the chance to play in the World Series for the team he started with is beyond special.Its a dream come true, said Crisp, who also played for the Indians from 2002-05. To be here now in this situation is unbelievable. And for Cleveland, I mean, what a day. These fans have done a great job of keeping the faith.It was rewarded by the Cavaliers, whose championship transcended all three teams and connected Clevelanders like nothing else.Coach Tyronn Lue, who took over the Cavs midway through last season, shared the story of what it meant to a pair of fans he met after Cleveland won the title. The father and son approached Lue as he had dinner in Las Vegas.Lue said the man told him, You dont understand how much this means to the city of Cleveland. My dad is not alive but he supported all three sports every year. Its so sad hes not here to see this. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.Then he broke down and started crying, Lue said. That was one of the best moments I experienced this summer. ' ' '
