BEREA, Ohio - Josh Gordon cant do anything to change his past. Mahmoud Dahoud Jersey . He knows there are doubters who believe its just a matter of time before he slips up again.Gordon is looking forward. Straight ahead.The only thing I can control is what I do on the field, the Pro Bowler said. So thats what Im doing. I cant control the masses. Thats not my job.The Browns supremely talented wide receiver who easily outruns defensive backs but cant seem to steer clear of trouble returned to his job Wednesday, practicing for the first time since his 10-game suspension for repeated drug violations ended.The leagues leader in yards receiving last season — despite missing two games — Gordon has returned just in time to give Cleveland a much needed offensive jolt.Browns coach Mike Pettine plans to bring Gordon back slowly this week, but No. 12 expects to be on the field Sunday when they visit the Atlanta Falcons.Its great to be back, he said. Im very ready. Ive had a long time to get ready for it.Surrounded by cameras and reporters, Gordon was a bit nervous as he described the challenges of his long layoff. He was repentant, saying he knows his actions hurt the Browns but also his family.Theres a lot of people I feel I owe, he said. My family members, friends, people that felt more embarrassed about it. The people closest to me feel it harder than anybody and I feel as though I owe them as well as the Browns, but Id like to do that by performing well.In his first game back after serving a two-game suspension last season, Gordon caught 10 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown in a win over Minnesota.Gordon feels he can come in from the cold and deliver a similar performance this week against the Falcons (4-6).I definitely think I can, he said.Gordon showed some rustiness by dropping two passes during the portion of practice open to media members. But the sight of the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder, with his smooth stride and rare explosiveness off the line, had to be warming to quarterback Brian Hoyer and offensive co-ordinator Kyle Shanahan, who hasnt been able to include him in a game plan this season.Being out there with him today you can see hes excited to be out there, said Hoyer, who targeted Gordon 19 times in the game against the Vikings last season. He wants to be a part of the team.Pettine is downplaying how much Gordon will be used this week, but Falcons coach Mike Smith expects the Pro Bowler to have an immediate impact.Were anticipating seeing Josh Gordon out there on the very first play and seeing him out there for the majority of the plays in the ball game, Smith said on a conference call.Pettine cautioned that Gordon may not be ready — mentally or physically. The Browns intend to keep Gordon on a pitch count in practice and build up his reps as the week moves on.There needs to be a progression, Pettine said. The trap to fall into is, Hey, hes back and lets just go ahead and throw him out there for a bunch of plays. Theres certainly danger inherent in doing that and we have to be smart with how we do it.Gordon was on the cusp of superstardom last season, when he amassed 1,646 yards receiving and scored nine touchdowns. However, he failed another test for marijuana and wound up being punished by the league. Gordon was initially banned by the league for a year but had his suspension reduced in September.Gordon said he considered suing the league, but believes the penalty against him was fair.We came to a reasonable conclusion, he said. Both sides might not have gotten exactly what we both wanted, but we compromised and I think we worked it out just fine. Considering the rules and that prior rules were broken, they had every right to do exactly what they did.The time away made Gordon more patient and appreciative. Hes paid his price and doesnt want to let anyone down again.To do that, he must stay on the field.I just want to control what I can control, and thats playing my hardest and working my hardest, 16 weeks next season and these last six games this season, however long Im in Cleveland, he said. Thats just what I want to do.__AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLRoman Burki Jersey . The D-Backs came into being in 1998 and appear destined to finish second in the AL West after the Tsunami that is the Los Angeles Dodgers swept over them. I thought it might be interesting to see what the D-backs have done over their 16 years compared to what the Blue Jays have done over their past 16 campaigns. Shinji Kagawa Jersey .

Up 2-0 on the Lightning in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinals, the Montreal Canadiens have a chance to take a series stranglehold as they take to their home ice tonight in Game 3 at the Bell Centre. You can listen to the game live at 7pm et/4pm pt on TSN 690 Montreal, TSN 1050 Toronto, TSN 1200 Ottawa, TSN 1290 Winnipeg and TEAM 1040 Vancouver. Montreal claimed Game 1 at Tampa in overtime on Wednesday, earning a 5-4 victory after Dale Weises OT tally. Fridays win, however, came much easier for the Canadiens, who notched a 4-1 decision to carry a 2-0 lead in the series back to Montreal. Rene Bourque scored twice for the Habs in Game 2 and Carey Price stopped 26-of-27 shots to anchor the Canadiens in the comfortable victory. David Desharnais and Brendan Gallagher also scored while P.K. Subban supplied two assists to the winning effort. Despite holding a 2-0 lead before entering a home stretch in Games 3 and 4, Bourque warned against overconfidence. "Thats probably going to be their biggest game of the series," said Bourque of tonights battle. "Theyre going to come out hard and were going to have to match their intensity." Lightning head coach Jon Cooper suggested the series is far from over, telling TSN, "Im sure theyve never had a 2-0 lead on the road and come back (home) and blown it". Cooper was referencing both 2006 and 2011, where Montreal took 2-0 road leads but ended up losing the series. Fridays three-goal margin of victory was rare for a meeting between the Habs and Bolts. Including Game 1 of the playoffs, the clubs have gone past regulation in four of six encounters since the start of the 2013-14 regular season. Teddy Purcell scored the lone goal for Tampa in the Game 2 loss, while starting goaltender Anders Lindback was pulled midway through the third period after allowing three goals on 23 shots. Kristers Gudlevskis stoopped 2-of-3 shots the rest of the way. Julian Weigl Jersey. "You focus on Game 3. Thats all you can control," said Lightning forward Ryan Callahan after the clubs poor start at home. "These two are behind us. You go win Game 3, its a brand-new series. ... The odds are against us but we have to go in there and show our character." Tampa Bay has fared well in Montreal this season, posting a pair of close wins at the Bell Centre in 2013-14. The Bolts earned a 2-1 shootout win on Nov. 12 and won by the same score in overtime on Feb. 1. All told, Montreal was 23-13-5 as the home team during the regular season, while the Lightning were 21-17-3 on the road. Game 4 is scheduled for Tuesday at the Bell Centre. With No. 1 goaltender Ben Bishop still out with an upper-body injury, Anders Lindback will start again in Game 3. Gudlevskis made his first NHL start late in the regular season and the 21- year-old Latvian entered his first playoff game on Friday. However, the young goaltender is no stranger to performing at a high level on the big stage, as Gudlevskis showed when he came up with 55 saves in Latvias 2-1 loss to Team Canada in the quarterfinals of Februarys Sochi Olympics. Tampa Bay could get rookie forward Ondrej Palat back in the lineup Sunday after he missed Game 2 with an upper-body injury. The Calder Trophy candidate expects to be a game-time decision for tonights contest. This is the second time the Canadiens and Lightning are meeting in the postseason, with the Tampa sweeping Montreal in four games in the Eastern Conference semifinals during its 2004 Stanley Cup championship season.
