have that option of him or Eric Dier, obviously Dier will be the one that is going to play but its a great option to have.Its a very good inclusion if he remains in the squad. Also See: Hodgson: No Rooney guarantees Rashford and Wilshere in squad | Forum

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Deonte Thompson Jersey . -- The Kansas City Chiefs defended their treatment of Alex Smith after he twice had his head slam into the turf in Indianapolis, saying Monday that their quarterback passed concussion tests on the sideline and in the locker room after both of the hits.Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder also said team physicians and an independent neurologist do not believe that Smith sustained a concussion.Still, he will be evaluated by another neurologist in Kansas City this week before determining whether he can play against Jacksonville on Sunday.Its certainly possible, Burkholder said Monday. Well go through the return-to-play protocol and see where hes at it. But yes, its possible.Smith was hurt initially when he was hit while sliding in the first quarter Sunday, and Nick Foles took over for about a quarter while Smith went through the protocol. He returned to the game and was hit again on a slide in the second half, and thats when the Chiefs decided he would not return.Foles proved to be everything the Chiefs hoped for as a backup. He finished 16 of 22 for 223 yards and two touchdowns without an interception in leading Kansas City to a 30-14 victory.There was some confusion when Smith was ruled out of the game with a concussion.Burkholder said he incorrectly reported the injury designation, and in fact Smith was still going through the protocol the second time when that announcement was made. He also said statements made after the game that Smith sustained a concussion were inaccurate.I was with him on the plane, talked to him last night, hes been in this morning -- hes absolutely asymptomatic, Burkholder said. Hes had a concussion before, missed time. Hes aware of the situation.Smith isnt the only Chiefs player dealing with injury issues.Running back Spencer Ware did not return to the Colts game after sustaining a concussion -- Burkholder said he did not sufficiently pass the same tests that Smith went through. And at this point, it appears unlikely Ware will be available against the Jaguars.That leaves the Chiefs thin at running back because Jamaal Charles, who is trying to come back from ACL surgery, was due to see Dr. James Andrews after experiencing swelling in the knee.Chiefs coach Andy Reid characterized the visit as routine, but there is concern that Charles has not progressed as quickly as anticipated in his recovery. He has only carried the ball 12 times in three games, and was not active against Indianapolis because of the knee.We dont have any information yet, Reid said Monday. Hes been checking with Dr. Andrews, thats the person who did the surgery. This isnt uncommon. Lets just figure it out and go from there.If Ware and Charles are unable to play, Charcandrick West would be their only healthy running back on the active roster. Darrin Reaves and Zac Brooks are available on the practice squad.Meanwhile, offensive lineman Parker Ehinger sprained his knee and did not return against the Colts. If hes unable to play this week, Zach Fulton would pick up where he left off Sunday.One bit of positive news was the progress of outside linebacker Justin Houston, who is coming back from ACL surgery. The star pass rusher returned to practice two weeks ago and has made noteworthy improvement, though it remains uncertain when Houston will be able to play in a game.Reid said it would be a stretch for him to play against Jacksonville.What were going to do is take it like we have been, see how he does this week, Reid said. If he is ready to go, he can go. Ill listen to the docs and talk to Justin and see how hes doing.I can tell you hes made tremendous strides from that first week to last week.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Seantrel Henderson Jersey . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. Kyle Williams Jersey . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. http://www.officialauthenticbillsshop.com/...d-taylor-jersey.html . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off.Former Arsenal and England striker Alan Smith feels Theo Walcott can have no complaints after being left out of Roy Hodgson’s provisional 26-man squad for Euro 2016. The Gunners forward has struggled for form since returning from a calf injury in December, scoring just five goals in 28 appearances during that period.Walcott himself did not seem surprised to miss out, tweeting: I am of course disappointed not to make the squad, but I have spoken with Roy and respect his decision. Smith backed the decision not to include Walcott in the squad but admits the inclusion of Newcastle winger Andros Townsend was a little surprising. Theo Walcott reacts on social media to the news that hes not in Englands provisional squad for Euro 2016 He would have been expecting it, I think. He knows he hasnt produced the form for Arsenal since coming back from injury that he would need to, given the competition for that place, Smith said of Walcott on Sky Sports Now.Having said that, it was there to go for because Townsend has come from left field a little bit.Walcott didnt take part yesterday [in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa] because of a slight hamstring injury. He would have been upset but would have accepted it. What now for Walcott? What now for Theo Walcott after Euro 2016 squad exclusion Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph also made the initial squad, despite an indifferent campaign that saw him score twice in 27 appearances for City in all competitions.Former England player and Enngland U21 coach Stuart Pearce, also a guest on Sky Sports Now, admitted he had not expected Delph to be included. Stephen Hauschka Jersey. It surprised me. I dont think he has had a real impact at the back end of the season, said Pearce.But Roy likes him and we have spoken about that loyalty, you build up a credit with the manager. Manchester Citys Fabian Delph has earned a place in England squad I think Delph being in the 26 is on credit, not on the immediate couple of months to finish the season.One player whose inclusion was expected is Premier League winner Danny Drinkwater.Its deserved. When you go into major tournaments, you need players who are on form, Danny Higginbotham said on the show.There havent been many better midfielders in the Premier League this season. He has shown what he is capable of. Here are the keys dates for Englands Euro 2016 campaign He can get forward, we saw with the goal he scored yesterday [in the 1-1 draw at Chelsea], but more importantly he looks after that defence really well.If England are going to be more attack-minded and If you have that option of him or Eric Dier, obviously Dier will be the one that is going to play but its a great option to have.Its a very good inclusion if he remains in the squad.
