DS Talk » Falcons coach Dan Quinn says defensive tackle

FLOWERY BRANCH Hakeem Butler Jersey , Ga. (AP) — Grady Jarrett has been cleared to play after an ankle injury sidelined him for two games.Jarrett, the team’s best interior lineman, will start Monday night when Atlanta (2-4) hosts the New York Giants (1-5). Reserve end Derrick Shelby, out since Week 2 with a groin injury Chris Lindstrom Jersey , is also expected to return.Quinn added that receivers Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley will likely play after being limited participants in practice Saturday. Sanu has a sore hip. Ridley has an ankle injury. Jarrett and Shelby were limited, too.Getting Jarrett back is a big boost for a defense that ranks among the worst in the NFL after losing safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen to season-ending injuries and having its best linebacker, Deion Jones, sidelined another four weeks.“Grady’s energy http://www.falconsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kaleb-mcgary-jersey , his voice, his demeanor — he brings a lot to the team,” Quinn said. “It allows a day like today where the red-zone communication was so good because it was the same voices and the same things going. I’m feeling the connection I hoped I’d feel from the defensive side.”Kicker Matt Bryant, in his eighth year with Atlanta and 17th overall Kendall Sheffield Jersey , has a strained hamstring and will miss his first game since 2009. Giorgio Tavecchio will take his place. The Chargers’ first defensive series was a disaster today in New England.Chargers defensive back Adrian Phillips left the game on the first series with what appeared to be a left shoulder injury. If Phillips is out that would be a major blow to the Chargers. Phillips is one of the Chargers’ most important players on defense — he wears the helmet with the speakers in it to call the defensive plays — and he led the NFL in special teams tackles during the regular season. He also had an interception and a fumble recovery last week against the Ravens.To add insult to injury, the Chargers gave up a touchdown on the Patriots’ opening drive. Sony Michel ran the ball six times, the last one for a touchdown, and the drive was aided by a pass interference penalty in the end zone. On the Patriots’ touchdown http://www.falconsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-john-cominsky-jersey , the Chargers only had 10 players on the field.The game couldn’t have started any better for the Patriots, or any worse for the Chargers.
