ASHBURN, Va. Derrick Rose Jersey . - Robert Griffin III will get to sit out the final preseason game after all. Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Tuesday he will rest his starters Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gruden had considered playing the first-team offence for a series or two because he didnt want to end the preseason "on a sour note" after the quarterbacks poor performance Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens. Now he said hell stick to his original plan of playing only the backups, who are vying for roster spots and regular season playing time. "Its my intent now after a couple of good days of practice to let the other guys play," Gruden said. "Let the backups play so we can solidify those roles. I think we have our starters in general. I think we feel pretty good about who they are. Now we need to find the key backups and who they are and make sure they get the ample reps to make the football team and show what they can do on the field." Griffin, who is attempting to make the transition to a more traditional pocket-passer under Gruden, finishes the preseason with 13 completions in 20 attempts for 141 yards with no touchdowns, two interceptions, four sacks and two fumbles. The Redskins have to set their 53-man roster by Saturday at 4 p.m. They trimmed it to 75 on Tuesday cutting receiver Rashad Ross, tight end Matt Veldman and offensive lineman Mike McGlynn. ___ AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Chucky Atkins Jersey .

Playing at Wimbledon on his 24th birthday, the Vancouver player saved three match points before falling to Robin Haase 7-6 (8-6), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 on Monday. Despite his loss, Pospisil was more than satisfied that the back pains which had made his life hell for the past six months have been fixed thanks to a diagnosis by a Prague doctor after months of uncertainty. Pain-free over the last two weeks, Pospisil said he now knows exactly what was bothering him and that the problem has become "completely manageable." Pospisil came to the All England Club after reaching the quarter-finals on grass last week in the Netherlands in his best career performance on the surface. "This was the first match of the year which felt normal," said the player who began to be bothered by his back in Chennai in early January. "Last week was the first week of the season in which I recognized myself on court in terms of competing. "I played quite well last week and today I just had a couple of mistakes and it didnt work out. "But this was definitely a normal match. Now I can focus on what I need to work on. Not playing much probably cost me today. My main goal noww is to stay healthy and finally be able to work on improving my game. Detroit Pistons Shirts. " On the womens side, Aleksandra Wozniak of Blainville, Que., was also eliminated, losing 6-1, 6-2 to Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia. The No. 31 seed was beaten in a battle lasting one hour 38 minutes to leave his Wimbledon main draw record at a 2013 win and two defeats. Pospisil hammered over 21 aces against Haase and produced 58 winners to 44 for his opponent, but he converted on only one of five break points. The Canadian dropped the opening set in a tiebreaker and levelled by winning the second before Haase took the lead two sets to one as he broke in the final game of the third. Haase earned another break for a 3-1 lead in the fourth set but was unable to close it out immediately as Pospisil salvaged three match points in the ninth game. But a cross-court forehand winner gave Haase one more winning chance, which he took when Pospisils volley went low into the net. Pospisil and Haase and split two meetings last season with a win apiece. Pospisil was one of three Canadian men in the singles draw, where eighth seed Milos Ranoic of Thornhill, Ont., heads the effort. Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., earned a lucky loser spot in the 128-man draw. ' ' '
