BEREA, Ohio -- Robert Griffin III has been cleared by doctors to play again this season. RG3 still needs Browns coach Hue Jacksons blessing.Griffin passed a final medical test on his injured left shoulder and can now take full contact, paving the way for the quarterback to play on Dec. 11 when the winless Browns return from a bye week against Cincinnati.Griffin hasnt played since the season opener -- his debut for Cleveland -- when he broke a bone in his shoulder while scrambling in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.Beyond blessed to have an opportunity to get back on the field with my brothers, Griffin said Tuesday. I promise my teammates and coaches to give them everything I have as we work to finish the season strong.Its been a long wait for Griffin, who signed with the Browns hoping to revive his career. Instead, he got hurt again, adding credence to the argument that hes not durable and opening the Browns to criticism for passing on a chance to get a top QB in the draft.Griffin can change that narrative over Clevelands final four games, but Jackson isnt quite ready to turn his offense back over to the 26-year-old.Robert is cleared, and he is ready to go, and I will make a decision about which way we are going as we go through the week, Jackson said.Just because he is cleared does not mean we are just going to walk back out there and play. There is still practice and there are still things we need to do and see before I decide to stick him back out there.Despite Jacksons stance, it appears Griffin will be back behind center against the Bengals and in Clevelands other three games.The Browns (0-12) want to avoid becoming the second team in NFL history to go 0-16 and Griffin may give them the best chance to win.Jacksons other choices are rookie Cody Kessler, who is 0-8 as a starter this season and just returned from his second concussion, or 37-year-old Josh McCown, who has been pounded behind a revamped offensive line, which just lost starting right guard John Greco with a foot injury.Griffin, who recently returned to practice, was selected as the starter in training camp after the Browns signed him to a two-year, $15 million contract in March.Although he got hurt and then lost his job in Washington, the Browns viewed Griffin as possibly their long-term solution at quarterback. His injury in the opener delayed the teams evaluation process, but the Browns may have a four-game window to see if Griffin can be their future.I am always looking to see who is going to be on the team as we move forward every game we play, Jackson said, adding the bye came at a good time to give Griffin more time.We are still evaluating our team, too, as we go through it at this point where we are. So yeah, we are looking. If he plays quarterback, yeah, we are evaluating him to see if he can be the quarterback. No different than Cody, Josh or (QB) Kevin (Hogan). All those guys, if they play, they are being evaluated.Jackson said hell consider several factors before choosing a quarterback, including Griffins injury history.You have to throw everything in the pot and then make a decision, he said. But the guy has played, what, amounts to four quarters, not even a whole four quarters for this football team in a regular-season game? If we put him back out there, there will be a chance for him to go back out there and play, and if we dont, we dont.Game notes Jackson has given his players off until Monday, but before they left he reminded them to behave while theyre away. I am not going to put up with any foolishness when guys leave here, he said. To that end, the Browns invited former NBA star guard Chauncey Billups to speak before practice. Jackson said Billups delivered a positive message about perseverance.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Adidas NMD Sale Australia . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed. http://www.salenikeshoesaustralia.com/air-vapormax-clearance.html . They hope to persuade the other team owners and commissioner Roger Goodell to put pressure on Redskins owner Daniel Snyder to drop the nickname they find offensive. "Given the way the meeting transpired," Ray Halbritter, an Oneida representative and leader of the "Change the Mascot Campaign," said Wednesday, "it became somewhat evident they were defending the continued use of the name. Air Max 97 Australia Cheap . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. Balenciaga Shoes Sale Australia . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. Halfway through the season, the Big Tens quarterback carousel is still spinning.Nearly half the teams in the conference have already made QB changes for a variety of reasons -- injuries, poor play or a coach just looking to shake things up. So far, the results have been mixed.Just days after four coaches went with first-time starters, Rutgers coach Chris Ash joined the bandwagon by naming Gio Rescigno as his new quarterback Saturday against Minnesota.I thought he went out and led the offense, executed the calls, made good decisions. He still needs to be more consistent, Ash said Tuesday. I like his personality, his energy and the leadership he brings to the offense.Perhaps Rutgers move should have been expected after losing four straight and being outscored 174-14.Other coaches, with fewer problems, have made similar decisions.Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst benched fifth-year senior Bart Houston in favor of redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook less than a month ago. Hornibrook has lost two straight -- to No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan -- since winning at Michigan State and the Badgers are still ranked No. 10.Minnesota got its first conference win behind former walk-on Conor Rhoda, who was 7 of 15 for 82 yards against Maryland filling in for injured starter Mitch Leidner (concussion). Leidner could miss Saturdays game against Rutgers, too. The Terrapins lost with Tyrrell Pigrome, who replaced Perry Hills (shoulder). Its not clear if Hill will return this weekend.At Illinois, first-time starter Chayce Crouch replaced Wes Lunt (back) and helped new Illinois coach Lovie Smith celebrate his first conference win by beating Rutgers.The most shocking decision may have come from Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, who started Brian Lewerke over Tyler OConnor on Saturday then brought OConnor back in the third quarter of a 54-40 loss to Northwestern.That change didnt help much as the defending Big Ten champs head to Maryland witth a four-game skid and a starting quarterback still to be named.dddddddddddd.Well see how the practices work out this week. Well make some determinations as we go, sort of go from there, Dantonio said. It will probably be more of a game time decision.Just to keep everyone on their toes.Here are some other notable items around the Big Ten:MORE CHANGESPurdue interim coach Gerad Parker got thrown right into his new role Tuesday. First, he took questions from local reporters before participating in the conferences weekly coaches call. This is going to take the 35-year-old, first-time head coach a little getting used to.I know our administration didnt see some things they wanted to from our staff, he said, explaining the firing of Darrell Hazell. Its been a different situation for our staff and our players and a weird situation for me.FILLING IN THE LINESThe Big Ten has 10 bowl tie-ins and the lines are already starting to fill up. The Buckeyes, Wolverines and No. 8 Nebraska all became bowl-eligible last weekend. If Iowa protects its home field against the Badgers this weekend, the Hawkeyes would join the list. Four other teams -- Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State and Wisconsin -- can all move within one win of becoming bowl-eligible with victories Saturday.ROAD MAGICThe Hawkeyes broke the school record for consecutive road wins (nine) last weekend. In fact, all six conference games were won by the visiting team -- the first time that has happened since Nov. 7, 2009. And this weekend at Penn State, Ohio State can break the Big Ten record for most consecutive road wins in conference play. With the win at Wisconsin, Ohio State tied the mark set by Michigan (17) from 1988-92.---Online:College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org---This story has been corrected to show Illinois defeated Rutgers.
