BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Cody Kessler will practice this week with bruised ribs on his left side with the intention of playing against the Titans?on Sunday.Thats the plan, Kessler said before Wednesdays practice. My goal, obviously, is to be ready to go on Sunday.Coach Hue Jackson may have a decision to make, because veteran Josh McCown also will practice for the first time since fracturing his collarbone Sept. 18 against Baltimore. Like Kessler, McCown said he was practicing with the intention of playing.Thats obviously coach Jacksons decision, Kessler said. He makes the call on all those. But Im going to continue to keep the same process and continue to prepare like I have the last few weeks.Kessler and McCown were both listed as limited on the practice report, though both did throw in the portion open to the media.I thought both of them threw the ball around well, Jackson said. I think again, well keep looking at Cody, but he was taking reps. Josh took reps today. It was good. It was good to see them out there.Jackson said he could not be certain who will start Sunday until he sees each player practice through the week.Obviously Cody right now is the starter on the football team until I feel otherwise, Jackson said.Injuries are becoming a regular staple of the Browns this season. The team announced left guard Joel Bitonio, who had been playing very well alongside Joe Thomas,?would miss extended time with a left foot injury.Kessler hurt his ribs late in the first quarter of Sundays 33-13 loss to New England when he was smothered by linebacker Donta Hightower.When he landed Kessler thought his shoulder was injured. He said he immediately felt pain and had shortness of breath. However, he said he felt better as the day progressed on Monday. Rehab with a ton of ice and working on motion also has helped, he said. Kessler said he felt a lot better than he did on Sunday.Its not a whole lot of movements that make it too sore, he said, but throwing is obviously one of them.Kessler was the Browns third starting quarterback this season. Robert Griffin III started the opener, but broke his coracoid bone. McCown started the second game, but fractured his collarbone. Kessler started three games, but hurt his ribs. Charlie Whitehurst replaced him, but hurt his knee and was released with an injury settlement. Kevin Hogan was promoted from the practice squad Tuesday.Thomas has been through 18 starting quarterbacks since he joined the Browns as the drafts third overall pick in 2007. He quipped that at least he wont have to introduce himself to the quarterback on the field in Nashville. That happened in the season finale in 2012, when the team signed Josh Johnson a few days earlier and he had to play the final few plays when starter Thad Lewis was injured.Thomas said he looked at Johnson in the huddle and said: Hi Im Joe Thomas. Im your left tackle. Nice to meet you. Alex Smith Jersey . After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times.

"I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue.

It was always going to be a memorable experience as they were told they were going to meet the clubs Foundation coaches for the afternoon.What they did not know, however, was that the United players would also be on hand at the event straight after training ahead of the weekend game with Leicester City, live on Super Sunday. The clubs Foundation has been in operation for almost a decade and has established a programme called #Schoolsunited involving 13 partner schools around Greater Manchester. Anthony Martial joined Manchester United team-mates at the clubs Foundation event We work in some of the most disadvantaged areas and, for some of them, Old Trafford is a dream, to even get to see a game, but to actually come and mix and engage with the first-team players is something they dream about, said hub manager Dave Chapman.Every child within this room now, every student, every participant has earned the right to be here. Weve got some children here who wouldnt speak to anybody, their confidence was shot, they were so low.And then a year or two into our partnership theyre here mixing with people from the other side of Manchester.The children from each of the schools were partnered with a member of Louis Van Gaals squad for the afternoon. Ashley Young takes part in the Manchester United Foundation activities And while the likes of captain Wayne Rooney and birthday boy Juan Mata have made their name on Old Traffords hallowed turf, this was an opportunity to see them doing something different, from playing table tennis to answering tricky questions from potential young journalists in a specially designed interview booth.One of the victims up for interview was midfielder Ander Herrera.Of course, of course because sometimes they are so sincere, he said. Thats why sometimes they make us feel a little bit in a problem but its very nice to answer questions because they are all fans, they are the future of Manchester United.The Foundations work is not just limited to working with schools, however, as the players soon discovered. Ander Herrera says Manchester United are aiming to prevent Leicester from winning the Premier League title at Old Trafford While Manchester Uniteds focus on the pitch is a top four finish in the Premier League and a first FA Cup final win since 2004, what about what the players do and eat when they are not playing or training?Something to chew on is a 10-week programme designed to educate youngsters about being healthy in a bid to tackle rising obesity rates.They are taught how to choose, cook and eat safe and healthy food, the sort of thing Manchester Uniteds superstars take for granted at Carrington, unless they have to make their sandwiches themselves, as Herrera discovered.I am the one who has to cook for the children today, he said. I am not so good at cooking so I will try to do my best but I think we have to teach them to eat in a good way. I think its very important for their health, for their lives and I will try to do my best! Manchesster United players join in at the clubs Foundation event It is not just about diet and nutrition as the Foundation is also looking at how to bolster the confidence of primary school children in the north west between the ages of four and eight.ddddddddddddMove with Manchester United has been devised to help improve their agility, balance and co-ordination in a bid to counter a growing trend that sees less youngsters playing outdoors.Herrera and his team-mates got involved in a session of jumping, balance and throwing, but how hard is it getting to grips with new training regimes for Manchester United players themselves and who are the worst trainers?I cannot say names about that but the only thing I can say is that its very important to do sport, the Spaniard said.Nowadays we are living in a generation of computers and video games but I think that its more healthy when you play football and you train, you make friends and thats what we try to do, to convince them that sport is very important. Anthony Martial joins in with the school children invited to Carrington After a tricky season that still has the potential to be a successful one for Manchester United, this was an afternoon where the players were able to put the scrutiny to one side.While it is the young players who have captured the eye on many occasions, plenty of their more experienced team-mates are parents themselves and literally jumped, ran and threw themselves into the activities.But it is their status as footballers that made it such a special occasion for the children invited to Carrington, and a big game beckons at the weekend, with Leicester, not Manchester United, in with a chance of being crowned Premier League champions at Old Trafford - something that only happened three times under Sir Alex Ferguson.First of all I have to say that we think about Manchester United, we are still in the race, we have to be in the top four its very important for us, Herrera said.After that it is true that we are playing against Leicester, a very good side who are playing fantastic. But we dont want them to win the title at Old Trafford - I think they deserve to win the league but I hope they can do it at home. Leicester can win the Premier League title with a win at Old Trafford We are Manchester United and we have to win because we have to be in the Champions League next season. Leicester can win the league at Old Trafford but it is not our business. Our business is Manchester United, we have to fight until the end for the top four and thats what we are going to do.After that if Leicester wants to win the league at home they will have to play very good because I think we are in a good moment.The Manchester United Foundation is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary. In the past year it has reached almost 10,000 school children and has seen 587 of them gain qualifications.As the United players bade farewell to the youngsters at the Academys indoor training centre, there is another landmark that beckons next month.It is almost 12 years since Manchester United last won the FA Cup and from the current squad only Juan Mata has lifted the trophy, and that was with Chelsea. So, like the children who enjoyed a big surprise at Carrington, they are hoping it will be a day to remember at Wembley on Saturday, May 21.
