PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles have signed defensive lineman Cedric Thornton to a one-year contract. John Hayden Jersey . Thornton emerged as one of the leagues best defensive ends against the run in 2013. The former undrafted free agent from Division II Southern Arkansas led Philadelphias linemen with 78 tackles and had one sack. The 25-year-old Thornton would have been an exclusive rights free agent so he signed for the third-year player minimum. Mondays move was the first on defence for the NFC East champions. The Eagles re-signed or gave contract extensions last week to wide receivers Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper, left tackle Jason Peters and centre Jason Kelce. Jordan Oesterle Jersey .The third-seeded Murray, who won here in 2009, will face seventh-seeded Kevin Anderson of South Africa next on the indoor hard court. Bobby Orr Jersey . Price was hurt at the start of Wednesdays practice after facing just one shot as the team worked on their power play. He left the ice in discomfort and appeared to be favouring his leg. A Habs source told TSNs John Lu that Price suffered the injury in Sochi and not before the Olympics.OKLAHOMA CITY - Kevin Durant, the NBAs leading scorer of this decade and the reigning MVP, will likely miss the first six to eight weeks of the season after fracturing a bone in his right foot.The Oklahoma City star forward complained of an ache in his foot after practice Saturday, the team said. Tests showed he has a Jones fracture, a broken bone at the base of his small toe. Thunder general manager Sam Presti said Sunday that surgery is likely, and that similar injuries have forced players to miss six to eight weeks.The Thunder open the season Oct. 29 at Portland. A six-week absence could have Durant back for the start of December, with about 65 games remaining.Were really fortunate to be catching it when were catching it, Presti said. Very fortunate that Kevin notified us yesterday, and were catching it kind of on the front end, before this became a little bit more of an acute issue.The Thunder have a couple of high-profile matchups in December, playing LeBron James and the Cavaliers on Dec. 11 and going to San Antonio for a Western Conference finals rematch on Christmas.Durant won the scoring title last season, collected his first MVP award and led the Thunder to the Western Conference finals. He skipped playing for the U.S. national team in this summers World Cup so he could get additional rest. He played in two preseason games before complaining of pain.On Media Day, Durant was asked about witnessing Indiana Pacers forward Paul Georges grotesque broken leg during a USA Basketball scrimmage and offered perspective on injuries.You could get hurt walking outside, Durant said. I know you hear that a lot, but you can get hurt anywhere. Just knowing that keepss you kind of levelheaded, and at peace with what happens on that court. Gustav Forsling Jersey. If you worry about it too much, you start to get scared a little bit. So I just try not to worry about it.The Thunder were forced to play for nearly two months last season without their other All-Star, Russell Westbrook, because of a knee injury, but remained among the Wests best because of Durant.He averaged 32 points, 7.4 points and 5.5 assists and was an overwhelming winner of MVP honours, ending LeBron James bid for a third straight. Durant had a run of 41 consecutive games with at least 25 points, the third-longest streak in NBA history.He has won four of the last five scoring titles, and was at his best during Westbrooks absence from late December through the All-Star break, averaging 35 points and 6.3 assists as the Thunder went 20-7.For the first time, Durant will have an extended absence. He has never missed more than eight games in a season, and he has missed 16 regular season games in his seven NBA seasons. Now, it will be up to Westbrook to raise his game while Durant is sidelined, or the Thunder risk falling behind quickly in the powerful West.You dont replace Kevin Durant, Presti said. Its not going to be one person, its going to be a collective mindset. We know were a better basketball team with Kevin Durant on the floor, but we can have some influence over how good we are in the meantime. Were certainly not going to be looking at the calendar waiting for him to get back. I dont think hed want us to do that.___AP Basketball Writer Brian Mahoney in New York contributed to this report.___Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/CliffBrunt . Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
