GREEN BAY, Wis. Air Max Plus Clearance . - Green Bays defence had all it could handle the first time it faced Cam Newton.Three years after Newton had a breakout performance against Green Bay in his second NFL start, the Packers will have to try to contain the Carolina Panthers versatile quarterback without at least one key defensive player.Starting cornerback Sam Shields wont play Sunday, when the Panthers come to Green Bay for a game between division leaders.Shields, who leads Green Bay with two interceptions, sustained what coach Mike McCarthy on Friday called a knee strain in the a comeback win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.McCarthy didnt know if the injury would keep Shields sidelined more than a game.Hes getting better, though, McCarthy said.Tied for the NFC North lead, the Packers (4-2) might also be without their other starting cornerback against the NFC South-leading Panthers (3-2-1).Tramon Williams sustained an ankle injury in the last game. Like Shields, Williams didnt practice this week, but McCarthy said the team isnt counting out the veteran player from playing Sunday. Williams is questionable on the injury report.Were still going through the process, but hes better today than he was yesterday, McCarthy said. The Packers didnt practice Friday, but estimated Williams would have been a limited participant had they been on the field.I think tomorrow will be the biggest indicator, obviously with us going (back) to the practice field, McCarthy said. As I stated earlier in the week, well give Tramon Williams every opportunity all the way up to game time to play.Williams has missed only one game in his eight-year pro career.That came in Week 2 of the 2011 season, when a shoulder injury kept Williams from playing the last time Green Bay and Carolina met. Green Bay won that game at Carolina, 30-23.McCarthy referred to Williams as an old-school pro for his high rate of durability, playing in 128 of Green Bays 129 games (including playoffs) since 2007.I dont think theres any question when we got back here Monday that he was going to do everything that he could to play in this game, McCarthy said.Green Bay spent this week preparing the young tandem of Davon House and Casey Hayward to fill in at cornerback if it has to play without both Shields and Williams on Sunday.House and Hayward have played a lot in situational roles on defence this season.House has made two starts as the nickel cornerback, contributing an interception and a forced fumble. Hayward had his first interception of the season in the last game and also has a fumble recovery.That type of production when they have been called on gives defensive co-ordinator Dom Capers comfort if House and Hayward are needed for enhanced roles Sunday.I feel very fortunate, Capers said. I think the depth in our secondary is probably as good as it has been.NOTES: Packers DE Datone Jones is out for a second straight game with an ankle injury. Hes struggling laterally right now, and until he gets that back, it doesnt make sense to push it forward, McCarthy said. ... LB Jamari Lattimore is questionable Sunday after suffering a neck injury in the last game. Brad Jones, who lost his starting job to Lattimore after the first week of the season, is next on the depth chart. Fake Air Max 720 . Jannero Pargo scored 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter to help the Charlotte Bobcats erase a 21-point deficit and rally for an 83-76 preseason victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. Kd Shoes Wholesale .C. -- Eric Staal kept his focus after his apparent breakaway goal was waived off early in the third period. http://www.wholesalenikeshoesclearance.com/cheap-max-1-shoes.html . MacIntyre stopped 49 shots and the Marlies defeated the Texas Stars 5-1 in Game 1 of the American Hockey Leagues Western Conference final. "I felt in control, so that was nice," MacIntyre said.SEATTLE -- Superlatives will be scarce come September if Masahiro Tanaka continues this pace. For now, Joe Girardi and the rest of the New York Yankees are just thankful they have the Japanese right-hander pitching like one of the best in baseball. "Hes been really, really big. You look at the numbers hes put up, the wins that he has, the distances hes given us during the course of the season," Girardi said. "Hes meant a lot." Tanaka added another notch to his stellar first two months in the majors, striking out 11 and tossing a complete game Wednesday night as the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2. Tanaka became the second pitcher in baseball with 10 wins and won his fourth straight start. It was on the verge of being possibly his most impressive performance of the season before giving up a two-run homer to Robinson Cano in the ninth inning that ruined the shutout. That only made Tanaka more determined to finish off his second complete game of the season. He struck out Kyle Seager and Logan Morrison to finish off the victory. "Obviously I wasnt very happy about that home run, but at the end Im pretty satisfied I was able to go all nine innings tonight," Tanaka said through a translator. Tanaka allowed six hits, walked one and leads the AL with a 2.02 ERA. He tied for the wins lead with Torontos Mark Buehrle, who is 10-2. Tanaka has allowed only four earned runs in the past 29 2-3 innings and hasnt given up more than three earned runs in any start. That number would be less if not for Cano hitting his third homer of the season -- and first at Safeco Field -- in the ninth. James Jones reached on an infield single with one out and Cano hit a drive out to left-centre on the first pitch. "He was dealing. He was the same guy you see on TV," Cano said. "He put the ball where he wants. Hes filthy." Tanaka cruised from the start. It took the Japanese rookie 15 pitches to get through the first two innings and 26 pitches setting down the first nine Mariners in order. Seattle got baserunners in the fourth when Jones and Seager singled, but the threat ended when Morrison struck out on a check swing. It also started a strikeouut binge from Tanaka. Nike Vapormax Plus China. Beginning with Morrison, six of the next seven outs came via strikeout. Tanaka struck out the side in the sixth, getting Cole Gillespie and Endy Chavez swinging before capping the inning by getting Jones looking at strike three. Cano broke the strikeout streak at five when he grounded out to open the seventh. Seager then walked on four pitches, the first walk issued by Tanaka. But Morrison grounded into a double play and Tanaka was through seven innings on just 79 pitches. Tanaka also wiggled out of trouble in the eighth after Mike Zuninos double and Brad Millers single. Just as movement started in the Yankees bullpen, Gillespie lined out and Miller was doubled off first base to end the inning. Tanaka was given an extra day of rest after a rainout on Monday in Kansas City. That ruined a possible matchup against countryman Hisashi Iwakuma, but Tanaka said the rest was helpful. "I never really thought about it going into the season. I just thought about taking it game by game, just trying to go out there and do the best that I can each game," Tanaka said. "As a result this is where I am." All the offence Tanaka needed came from Jacoby Ellsbury and Mark Teixeira. Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 15 games with an RBI single in the third. Two innings later, with Seattle starter Chris Young (5-4) struggling, Mark Teixeira hit a three-run homer that barely cleared the wall in right-centre field. The game-breaking shot was Teixeiras 11th homer of the season. But all Teixeira wanted to do was rave about Tanaka. "If he keeps this up, hes going to have one of the greatest first years in baseball of any pitcher that has ever played this game," Teixeira said. "I would love to see it." NOTES: Derek Jeters stolen base in the first gave him 350 for his career. He had two steals in the game. ... Seattle Seahawks DE Cliff Avril threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Teammates QB Russell Wilson and LT Russell Okung were on the field watching pregame batting practice and talking with players from both teams. DT Brandon Mebane and DE Michael Bennett were also in attendance with Avril. ' ' '
