Beschwerden » with a stubborn 116 in the second innings that helped West

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Eric Ebron walked without a limp onto the practice field about 30 minutes after the rest of the Detroit Lions began practicing Monday.Afterward, Ebron ignored questions from reporters and Caldwell declined to shed light on anything related to the injury suffered by the tight end over the weekend.Only one thing is clear: Detroits backup tight ends are going to get a great opportunity to earn playing time and perhaps a spot on the final roster.Undrafted rookie Cole Wick and journeyman Matthew Mulligan are the leading candidates to get a lot of snaps Tuesday through Thursday during practices with the Pittsburgh Steelers and against them Friday night in an exhibition game.Wick, an undrafted rookie from the University of the Incarnate Word in Texas, said he had offers to sign with Carolina, Oakland, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay along with a few other teams before accepting the Lions offer. Wick took the only option he had to play in college and his position coach was Larry Moore, who made it in the NFL as an undrafted rookie and played for three teams from 1998 to 2005.Im just going to do my best with the reps that Im giving at this point and try to capitalize on all opportunities, Wick said.Ebron went down with an undisclosed injury to his lower right leg Saturday during a mock game and was carted off the field.Wick tried to make the most of Ebron going from the top player at the position to a tutor of sorts on Monday.He has been a great mentor, Wick said. If Im taking a step too shallow hes there to tell me. Hes helping me with routes, footwork and blocking.Mulligan has 17 career catches since making his league debut in 2009 with the New York Jets. Adam Fuehne, Orson Charles and Ben McCord are the other tight ends on Detroits roster.Obviously they get a little bit more reps, which I think is always good and guys have to take advantage of it, Caldwell said. When your rep count goes up youve got to make certain that youre playing well. Obviously you see them catch a few balls here and there, but theres a lot more to it than that.Ebron went down with an undisclosed injury to his lower right leg Saturday during a mock game and was carted off the field.Youre going to have some injuries happen all the time that way, Caldwell said. You hope they dont, but sometimes they do.The Lions were hoping Calvin Johnson would return for a 10th season, but the superstar receiver chose to retire. That led to them counting even more on Ebron, drafted No. 10 overall in 2014, in the passing game this season.They might have to come up with Plan B. Ebron had 47 receptions for 537 yards and five touchdowns. If healthy, he seemed set up to have the best year of his career.Even before Detroits best tight end was hurt, it didnt have much depth at the position.Brandon Pettigrew is recovering from a torn knee ligament late last year and might not be healthy enough to start the season. Tim Wright, another veteran, had a season-ending knee injury earlier this year.You have to be able to adjust, Caldwell said.

A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. West Indies captain Jason Holder has said that the reprieves given to Azhar Ali in the first innings and the large number of extras conceded by the side were factors in their 56-run defeat to Pakistan in the first Test in Dubai. Holder lauded the team, particularly batsman Darren Bravo, for running Pakistan close and taking the match into the final hour on the fifth day despite having been on the back foot for the first three days of the Test.Azhar was dropped twice in his innings of 302 not out: on 17, Leon Johnson put down a sharp catch at gully off Miguel Cummins, and on 190 by Jermaine Blackwood off Roston Chases bowling.Its tough to say. When you look at the game in hindsight you can say a lot of things. Obviously credit must go to Azhar Ali, I thought he played really well. We put him down; at that stage if we would have held him, we would have had a new batsman in, Holder said. But thats cricket. If you look at it critically, its those one or two chances that we missed. In the second innings, Babar Azam getting out off a no-ball. Things like this, if we negate them then we have less problems going forward.Holder conceded that the bowlers, specially Shannon Gabriel, had some work to do to bring the rate of front-foot no-balls under control. Gabriel bowled 11 no-balls in the entire match, including 10 in the first innings which, combined with other extras, contributed 22 runs to Pakistans score of 579.Its definitely an area we need to improve on but if you look at the scorecard, there were a few no-balls from both sides. Its something we have to pay attention to, Shannon was probably our head culprit. But again, hes that kind of bowler, he runs in and gives it his all. Having said that the amount of no-balls he bowled was unacceptable and hopefully he can correct it going forward in the next Test match.ddddddddddddHolder pointed to West Indies comeback with the ball in Pakistans second innings - with Devendra Bishoos 8 for 49 - and Bravos maturity and determination on the fourth and fifth days as the positives for the side from the Test.Bravo followed up his 87 in the first innings with a stubborn 116 in the second innings that helped West Indies climb to within 83 runs of a victory before he was dismissed, and a drawn match was still a possibility after he had been dismissed. The 109 overs in the second innings was the second longest West Indies had batted in the fourth innings of a Test.It was a quality innings and I just mentioned that he batted really well in both the second and first innings, he said. I think he showed a lot of maturity in both those innings and he spent some time and gave himself a chance to get a score. You could see the determination on his face and in his expressions and his body language was just very positive. Hopefully he can continue in this vein and we can lean on Darren Bravo in our batting.One thing I am very proud of is the way the guys fought. They came good today and all the bowlers came up with a really good effort on a pitch that didnt give much assistance to them. I cant really fault the effort of the guys, it was a very, very good team effort. Unfortunately we didnt get over the line and unfortunately we couldnt save the game but a hell of a lot of positives we can take from the game. ' ' '
