METAIRIE, La. - Mark Ingram sprinted to his left, turned to his right, snagged a short pass and accelerated up field.Practicing without limitations on Wednesday, Ingram looked ready to return to a New Orleans offence that once again ranks among the NFLs best when the Saints play at Detroit on Sunday.However, New Orleans could be without tight end Jimmy Graham, who leads the clubs in receptions, yards receiving and touchdown catches.Graham wore a helmet to practice and participated in stretches, but otherwise stood around and watched the portion of individual drills open to media. The Saints later announced that Graham sat out the team drills, which are closed to reporters, and coach Sean Payton declined to discuss Grahams prospects for playing against the Lions.Payton also stopped short of guaranteeing that Ingram would play in Detroit.Hes doing well and we will kind of see how we handle that on Sunday, Payton said. Obviously we value depth at that position.Ingram said he could play with a little pad on the hand he broke in Week 2 at Cleveland. The running back needed surgery and missed three games before New Orleans had last weekend off.Im ready to go, full-go, 100 per cent full-tilt, Ingram said. They havent babied me or eased me into practice, so Ive been doing everything — catching, running blocking.A former Heisman Trophy winner at Alabama and 2011 first-round draft choice, Ingram looked in his first two games like he might have his best season yet.Hes gained 143 yards on 24 carries — good for a team-high 6 yards per carry. He also scored three touchdowns.It was disappointing, frustrating to have an injury, Ingram said. There wasnt much I could do about it. I had to get the surgery, just try and be positive and it wasnt a long term injury.The Saints still moved the ball well in his absence, with hard-running second-year pro Khiry Robinson and veteran Pierre Thomas sharing most of the carries.The Saints rank eighth in the NFL in rushing with about 133 yards per game, and theyre averaging 5.2 yards per carry as a team.Meanwhile, New Orleans ranks second in passing with 309.8 yards per game, and quarterback Drew Brees said hes confident the Saints offence is dynamic enough to maintain such production if Graham sits out.Different guys will have opportunities, Brees said. If Jimmys not able to go, were going to miss him. But Im really confident those other guys are going to do a great job.Brees stressed that he has plenty of confidence in veteran tight end Ben Watson as well as second-year tight end Josh Hill, whose seven catches include one for 37-yards and a 34-yard touchdown.While the Saints are 2-3, moving the ball has not been one of their problems. Their 442.8 yards per game ranks behind only Indianapolis, which averages 444 yards. However, the Saints are 13th in scoring with 26.4 points per game. Theyve been hurt by 10 turnovers, including Brees six interceptions.I feel like weve run the ball very well. I feel like weve been very balanced. I feel like weve maintained a lot of long drives that ended up in touchdowns, Brees said. Id say weve turned the ball over too much, which is my responsibility, more so than anybody.Brees said the Saints also are not hitting on as many big plays as usual, but added, You can only take what the defence is giving you. You dont want to read into that too much because then all the sudden you feel like we have to manufacture these big plays, we have to force these big plays, and if theyre not there, thats when some of those mistakes come.Since Payton, who designed the offence, and Brees arrived in New Orleans in 2006, the Saints have never ranked worse than sixth in yards gained for a whole season, and have ranked first four times.Right tackle Zach Strief has also been with New Orleans since 2006, and noted, As long as we have Drew and as long as we have coach Payton, I think that well be a consistently good offence.Notes: FB Erik Lorig, who has yet to play this season because of an ankle injury, practiced fully on Wednesday, as did C Jonathan Goodwin, who was knocked out of New Orleans previous game with a knee bruise. ... Those missing practice included LBs Ramon Humber and Kyle Knox, both with ankle injuries, and CB Patrick Robinson (hamstring).___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Yeezys Ελλαδα .

The sons of longtime NHL defenceman Paul Reinhart broke a few windows, but it was worth it as they grew up in the game. Max was a third-round pick of the Calgary Flames in 2010, but it took Sam seeing Griffin put on a New York Islanders jersey as the fourth overall pick in 2012 to start to visualize what his draft-day moment could be like. Thatll come June 27 in Philadelphia as Sam Reinhart is expected to be one of the top three picks. Once that sinks in and Reinhart goes about preparing for his first NHL training camp, he will draw from the experience he had in early May with Canadas world hockey championship team. The Kootenay Ice forward thinks hes ready for the pros because he joined Team Canada for its training camp and exhibition game against Switzerland in Zurich. "I got a little taste of it at the international level for a couple days in Switzerland," he said Friday at the NHLs annual scouting combine. "It was pretty amazing to see how I handled practice one compared to practice three and really picked up the pace and felt comfortable pretty quick out there." Reinhart had to think quick well before he ever stepped onto the ice. He got the call from Hockey Canada on Friday night and needed to decide whether to get on a plane to Europe Saturday afternoon. "It was a pretty quick turnaround to kind of drop everything and go over there," the 18-year-old centre said. "It was a tough decision at the time but really turned out to be a positive experience. Its really paying off right now." Reinhart didnt have much more to prove. He had represented Canada the under-18 world championships twice, winning gold in 2013, and then was on this past years world-junior team. Named WHL player of the year for putting up 105 points in 60 games with the Ice, Reinhart is third among North American skaters in NHL Central Scoutings final rankings. But it didnt hurt Reinhart to show what he could do surrounded by players who will soon be his peers. He already knew Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly, Flames centre Sean Monahan and Canucks defenceman Jason Garrison, but being on the ice with them in that environment was a different story. "He didnt look out of place,"t; Team Canada coach Dave Tippett said in a phone interview Friday afternoon.dddddddddddd "He carried himself like a pro player. He picked up the things we were trying to do in the drills very well. The biggest thing you could tell, and its probably a little bit because of his upbringing -- he wasnt intimidated by the situation at all and just jumped in there and played." Even though Reinhart was an extra forward for the exhibition game, Tippett liked how he made the most out of his eight or nine minutes of ice time. Had an injury occurred before the team left Zurich, there was some discussion about adding Reinhart to the team, which wouldve made him the youngest by two months over Nathan MacKinnon. Reinhart worked to show what he could do if that happened. "Youre not going in with the mind-set that youre coming home in a couple days," he said. "You know obviously the odds are you will. But you never know what happens at that point." Ultimately, Reinhart got sent home while the Canadian team went on to Minsk. But not before he made a positive impression on Tippett and his staff. "Hes a mature kid," Tippett said. "Obviously I think being from a family that has grown up around pro hockey, that helps the situation. You could tell that he wasnt in awe of the situation at all. He just got in there and got to work and fit in well with the group." Reinhart is part of a bigger group at this weeks combine outside Toronto as one of 117 of the top prospects going through interviews and then fitness testing Saturday. Along with Kingston centre Sam Bennett and Barrie defenceman Aaron Ekblad, though, Reinhart is part of the small faction of potential No. 1 selections, whether the Florida Panthers keep or trade the pick. The six-foot-one, 186-pound playmaker is known for his hockey sense and vision. Of course there are things he feels like he needs to get better at, including lower-body strength. "It just doesnt happen over a summer, Ive been focusing on it for a long time now and I feel confident with it," Reinhart said. Another question is his speed, but if Reinhart himself was at all worried, Zurich made him feel better. "I felt with the pace over there I kept up pretty well," he said. "I felt really confident with it, leading into the next day and it was amazing how much you improved." ' ' '
