Thats good timing for Lewis to finally be ready to make his 2016 debut for the team.Torrey Smith (3 p.m.): The 49ers wide receiver is inactive today because of an injured shoulder, and will be missing the first game in his NFL career.Miami Dolphins (2:45 p.m.): While both of their questionable wide receivers (Jarvis Landry, Kenny Stills) are active today, Miami will be without Mario Williams, Nick Williams and Jelani Jenkins on the defensive side of the ball.Los Angeles Rams (2:40 p.m.): Good news on both sides of the ball for the Rams, as both DE Robert Quinn and C Tim Barnes will be active for this afternoons contest.Chicago Bears (11:55 a.m.): NT Eddie Goldman is inactive against the Giants this afternoon. With Will Sutton (ankle) having been placed on injured reserve earlier this week, Eli Manning should face a much weaker pass rush than expected.?Minnesota Vikings (11:50 a.m.) As Ben Goessling of ESPNs NFL Nation notes, the trio of Marcus Sherels, Captain Munnerlyn and Eric Kendricks are all active today for the team, providing this defense with more depth than theyve had in quite some time.?Detroit Lions (11:45 a.m.): Both DeAndre Levy and Tyrunn Walker are inactive today for the Lions. Levy has been dealing with quad and knee injuries, but Walker is apparently a healthy scratch.Jimmy Smith (11:40 a.m.): After being only a limited participant in practice on Friday, its not that big a shock to see the Baltimore cornerback on the teams inactive list for todays game. This should give Dez Bryant a boost in fantasy numbers against a depleted secondary.Jordan Matthews (7:45 a.m.): ESPNs Adam Schefter notes that the Eagles wide receiver, who has been dealing with back spasms and is listed as questionable for todays game against the Seahawks, is nevertheless expected to suit up.?Jared Cook (7:40 a.m.): According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Packers tight end is planning to suit up tonight for the first time since Week 3. Green Bays release of?Justin Perillo?certainly points to the teams confidence level in Cooks return. ?Tyrann Mathieu (7:35 a.m.): All eyes will be on the matchup of Patrick Peterson against Stefon Diggs this afternoon, as Mathieu is reportedly going to sit out his second game of the season with a shoulder injury.DeSean Jackson (7:30 a.m.): ESPNs Adam Schefter reports that the Washington wide receiver is indeed expected to play tonight against the Packers. He was a full participant in Fridays practice, which is usually a good indicator for Sundays status.Justin Houston (7:25 a.m.): The Kansas City linebacker, who has been on the sidelines since offseason surgery on the ACL in his left knee, is expected to make his 2016 debut today. Well have to see how his presence impacts the sack count for Dee Ford going forward.Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games and 7 p.m. ET for the Sunday night game. Air Jordan Baratas Online .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Zapatillas Jordan Retro Baratas . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. http://www.airjordanbaratas.es/ . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. CALGARY, Alberta -- Flames forward Sean Monahan signed a seven-year contract extension worth a reported $44.6 million Friday.The move leaves Johnny Gaudreau as the last remaining move in a busy Flames offseason. The 23-year-old is still without a new contract for next season.Todays about Sean, Brad Treliving, the clubs general manager, said at a news conference in Calgary. This is his day.Said Monahan: I dont want to play anywhere else. I would sign as long as I could and I think we found seven years fits. It was fair for both of us.The former sixth overall pick has quickly established himself as a two-way force for the Flames, an impact performer almost from the day he entered the NHL as an 18-year-old in 2013.He scored 22 goals as a rookie that season before finishing with a career-high 31 goals and 62 points as a sophomore. Monahan maintained that level of production with 27 goals last season, mostly alongside Gaudreau, adding a career-best 36 assists and 20 power-play points.Monahan has actually topped all players from his 2013 draft class in goals (80) and points (159), outpacing No. 1 overall pick?Nathan MacKinnon?(59 goals and 153 points) as well as Aleksander Barkov (52 goals, 119 points), the Florida Panthers young star.When you look at his production, when you look at what Seans done over the three years, hes been at the high end of that level, Treliving said.Monahan, whose serious demeanor at a young age has inspired a satirical Twitter account, @boringmonahan, is already doing just about everything for Calgary: He kills penalties, is a key part of the power play, wins 51 percent of his draws, posts positive puck possession stats and scores goals.In fact, only 20 players have scored more than him over the past three seasons, all the more impressive given that he wont turn 22 until October.Treliving said the deal, which keeps Monahan under contract until 2023, was as much about what Monahan had done already as what he stood to accomplish down the line.We look at this as securing Sean for really the prime years of his career, Treeliving said. Comprar Jordan Baratas. . This is a young player whos established himself as a top player and important player in the league, but is still in a growth pattern. This is a young guy whos going to get better.This summer has been notable for the number of young stars signing rich second contracts. Similar such deals include other top centers such as MacKinnon (seven years, $44.1 million), Filip Forsberg (six years, $36 million) and Mark Scheifele (eight years, $49 million), as well as defensemen such as Seth Jones (six years, $32.4 million), Morgan Rielly (six years, $30 million) and Aaron Ekblad (eight years, $60 million).Notable stars still to be signed less than two months before the start of the regular season include Tampas Nikita Kucherov, Winnipegs Jacob Trouba, Anaheims Hampus Lindholm and of course, Gaudreau.Calgary, which missed the playoffs last season, has already had a hectic summer even before locking up its two young stars. The Flames hired Glen Gulutzan as their new head coach, traded for a new No. 1 goaltender in Brian Elliott, drafted Matthew Tkachuk with the sixth overall pick, and signed veteran Troy Brouwer to a four-year deal in free agency.Gaudreau, who turned 23 last week, is probably their top talent though and as yet without a new deal. The American winger has played only two NHL seasons, but is already an offensive whiz, posting career-highs of 30 goals and 78 points last season. He finished sixth in the NHL scoring race and will suit up with Monahan for Team North America at the World Cup of Hockey next month.Im positive hes going to be here for Oct. 12 and going to be playing for the Calgary Flames, Monahan said, referring to the Flames season opener against the Edmonton Oilers.Well just continue to work at it, Treliving added. He wants to be here. We want him here. And you keep working away at it. We have every confidence were going to find a deal thats fair and works for both sides. ' ' '
