EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Cheap Super Bowl 50 Jerseys .J. - Starting isnt an issue for New York Giants running back Andre Brown. After spending the last 10 weeks on recallable injured reserve with a second broken leg in less than a year, all Brown cares about is playing against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. "Sitting out this long, as long as I go in there and make a play or two, thats what I am looking forward to," Brown said Wednesday after practice. "Its not about starting. Its just about being back out there, especially coming from where I came from: the humble beginnings and breaking (the leg) and going through this adversity again and coming back. Its a surreal moment to go out and play football again." Brown has not had the easiest career in the NFL. The five-year veteran has had a career marked by injuries and a nomadic journey from team to team. He finally seemed to catch on last year with the Giants, scoring eight touchdowns in 10 games, playing mostly in passing and goal-line situations. Unfortunately, he broke his left fibula in late November and broke it again in the same spot in the preseason finale against New England. "The doctors said the odds of being hit in the same spot and breaking it again were just crazy," Brown said. The leg has healed and Brown had been practicing for the past two weeks. He fully expects to play Sunday and he cant hide his excitement. He wants the ball handed to him. He wants to feel the thud of getting popped. He wants to hit someone. He wants to play football again for a team that a couple of weeks ago didnt have a starting halfback because of injuries. "I am ready to roll," Brown said. "I am pretty sure they are going to switch us in and out to make sure I have my wind. Its not about the leg. Its about me getting back in football shape, which I am in, but getting used to contact and seeing how that goes." Coach Tom Coughlin indicated Brown will have a role. "Im looking forward to the return of that player, quite frankly," Coughlin said. "Size, speed, he can catch the ball out of the backfield, he does a good job in pass protection. You sometimes forget that the guy is 230 pounds. Thats a little bit of a different dimension." Coming off a bye, the Giants have three potential starters with Brandon Jacobs healthy and Peyton Hillis. Hillis seemingly is more in shape after coming in off the street and carrying the brunt of the running attack with David Wilson (neck) and Jacobs (hamstring) sidelined. Coughlin joked about Browns role when pressed about how much he would be able to do, saying he envisions Brown would carry the ball 40 times, catch 15 passes and return kickoffs. Brown didnt know what to make of Coughlins comment until being told the coach was being sarcastic. "Whew," said a relieved Brown, who plans to wear a small shin guard on his leg. Doctors have said hell have to wear it the rest of his career. Having Brown back in the lineup should help the offence, which didnt score a touchdown in the 15-7 win over Philadelphia before the bye. Josh Brown kicked five field goals. "Its a great tribute to Andre the way he has worked to come back from these injuries," quarterback Eli Manning said. "I know it has been frustrating for him, but he has done a great job of staying positive. The team has supported him and had his back. Hopefully, hell come back and help us out." Brown said the keys for him will be to hold onto the ball and make sure he makes his blocks in passing situations. "Its going to be fun. I just cant wait," Brown said. "I havent been getting too much sleep because its like Christmas. Im just really looking forward to going back out there and playing."

On July 27 cyclings best-known race will host "La Course by Le Tour de France" -- a one-day womens competition staged hours before Tour riders race on the same circuit to finish the three-week event on Paris Champs-Elysees.HOUSTON -- UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos will meet for the final fight in their heavyweight trilogy Saturday night in UFC 166. And whatever the outcome, Velasquez said he wont fight Dos Santos again -- at least not anytime soon. "I think it will be settled for a while," Velasquez said. "I wont say that I wont fight him in five years or so because that could be a possibility." But he does enjoy the rivalry theyve had over the last couple of years. "Its good to have an opponent like that thats always pushing you to get better," Velasquez said. Velasquez reclaimed the belt from Dos Santos with a decisive unanimous decision in UFC 155 in December. It was the first loss for Dos Santos since November 2007. Velasquez is expecting Dos Santos to take a different approach in this one. "I think his biggest adjustments will have to be his pace -- not just backing up," Velasquez said. "I think him being more aggressive. I think the only thing different he could do is to be more aggressive." Dos Santos said he made a lot of mistakes in the last fight and hes studied them to correct the problems before Saturdays bout. "The past fights are going to help me a lot because I learned from that," Dos Santos said. "I think the biggest challenge is going to be to stop him. He walks forward all the time and we have to take care of that." Dos Santos (15-3-0) took the title from Velasquez in the first meeting in November 2011 with a knockout in 64 seconds. It remains the only career loss for Velasquez, who is 12-1-0. "If you look at my UFC fights, most of them I knock them out very fast and it happened withh him, too," Dos Santos said.

Now were going to see which one works better, my style or his style." Velasquez is looking to guard against Dos Santos landing that one big punch because he believes thats the only way Dos Santos can win. Seven of Dos Santoss victories in the UFC have come by knockout, which is tied for second-most in heavyweight history. "I think thats the case, landing that one punch," Velasquez said when asked how Dos Santos could win. "Weve got to use our game plan to fight him. Just be aggressive and in his face all the time and just take that away from him." The Brazilian-born Dos Santos is a big fan of boxing and hopes Saturdays fight helps this trilogy live up to some of the fabled trilogies in boxing history. "I want to be one of those," he said. "Years after this fight people will be talking about us, but I want people to talk about Junior Dos Santos more." The co-main event at the Toyota Center, home the NBAs Houston Rockets, will feature former Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier against Roy Nelson in a heavyweight matchup. Cormier is undefeated and Nelson is one of six fighters in UFC history to knock out two or more opponents in less than a minute each. Also on the card is UFC lightweight contender and former Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez against former Ultimate Fighter winner Diego Sanchez. Gabriel Gonzaga takes on Shawn Jordan in a heavyweight fight, and flyweights John Dodson and Darrell Montague round out the competition.
