third and fourth Tests perhaps turned this into a

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- All along, Jordy Nelson said his goal was to be back on the field for the?Green Bay Packers regular-season opener. It appears he has beaten that by a little more than three weeks.The?Pro Bowl receiver passed his physical on Wednesday and was activated off the physically unable to perform list, according to the NFLs daily transaction notice. It came six days shy of the one-year anniversary of the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered in his right knee.?It doesnt necessarily mean Nelson will play in any preseason games, but with a little more than three weeks until the season opener, it gives him time to practice with Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the offense.Nelson missed the entire offseason program while rehabbing from reconstructive knee surgery. He appeared set to practice by the start of training camp until he experienced an issue -- what he called a hiccup -- with his left knee while working out earlier this summer.Our end goal is still the same, Nelson said when training camp opened on July 26. Well be ready for the regular season. Like I said, theres just a little hiccup with the other leg.Were not worried about it. Were going to work through it inside and continue to progress, and well be ready to go at some point during camp and definitely for the season.Without Nelson last season, the Packers offense slipped to 23rd in the NFL and Rodgers, without his deep-threat receiver, saw his yards per attempt drop to 6.7 -- the lowest since he became a starter in 2008.Nelson caught 98 passes for 1,519 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2014.The Packers have only one player remaining on the PUP list: center Corey Linsley, who has yet to practice because of a hamstring injury.

M Vijay is difficult to slot into one genre of batting. He has T20 hundreds, but is one of the best defensive batsmen going around in Test cricket. He strikes at around 46 runs per 100 balls, but is already only one six short of getting into the top 10 six-hitting Test openers. Only one of the 10 ahead of him is a defensive batsman: Navjot Sidhu, who similarly attacked spinners.Just like the cricketer that he is, Vijay is an emotional person, but doesnt open up with many. Having addressed a press conference after scoring his eighth Test century, one that put India in command in the Mumbai Test, Vijay was walking off when he called out a journalist he knows. He told the journalist to make an announcement on his behalf: that he wants to dedicate this innings to the father of a close friend back home who died on the first day of the Test. That he was sorry he couldnt be there for his friend, only whose first name he gave: Srinath.This was a century that came after failings both similar and uncharacteristic. Vijay is known for scoring big at the start of a series and then fading away, but these failures were coming against the short ball from somebody who has tackled it with aplomb all over the world. Vijay is, in fact, one of the best - if not the best - leavers of the ball. Vijay acknowledged that failing.I did think about it [short balls] because I was playing at the balls I should be leaving generally, Vijay said. There are lot of other factors to it. I dont want to reveal them. But yeah, the definite gameplan is to back my core game, believe in it and come back fresh, and to play this Test match the way I wanteed to play.ddddddddddddThe eight-day break between the third and fourth Tests perhaps turned this into a bit of a start of something new. The break helped me, Vijay said. And it helped everybody, I guess, to go and rethink and come back better.One of the first successes for Vijay was hitting an overpitched Adil Rashid wrongun for six, which resulted in Rashid being taken out of the attack at a time when spinners were troubling Vijay. Actually, my gameplan is to attack the spinners because I dont want them to settle in one particular area where they find it comfortable, Vijay said. I just wanted to use my feet and use the depth of the crease, and play according to my gameplan. It came out pretty well, I guess.Asked to rate this innings vis-à-vis his others, Vijay said: It is special because I started off well in this series, Vijay said. And then a couple of matches I couldnt play the way I wanted to play. I was getting out too early. I just came out with a much clearer mindset in this game. And I just wanted to back my instinct and play.The innings was special not least because it - with the help of a Virat Kohli masterclass - has given India a 51-run lead with three wickets in hand. Considering how much the ball has turned, that is a massive lead.Definitely [in control of this match], Vijay said, because any lead is gold in this wicket. During tea time, we just thought get close to their target, but the way Virat and Jayant Yadav are batting, I think we are in a pretty good position. ' ' '
