ASHBURN, Va. -- Robert Griffin III had a full practice and looked pretty good. Kirk Cousins had a full haircut that looked so bad he had to apologize for it. The Washington Redskins quarterbacks were back to their regular pecking order Wednesday. Griffin went through a regular full practice with first-team receivers for the first time since spraining his right knee, while Cousins was an affable undercard whose hilariously hairy moment was more interesting than anything he had to say about football. Griffin said he ran plays at full-speed, hoping to persuade doctors to clear him for this weeks game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He has made known his unhappiness over sitting out Sundays win over the Cleveland Browns, and hes clearly frustrated that the final say is out of his control. "Im ready to play whenever they want me to play," Griffin said. "So if its this week, next week, next couple of weeks. Whatever they say goes, so Ill be ready." Coach Mike Shanahan said doctors will see how Griffins knee responds to the practice, particularly as to whether theres any swelling when the rookie shows up at work Thursday. "Hopefully theyll look at it tomorrow and tell us it is full-go," Shanahan said. Still, the signs are much more positive for Griffin than last week, when the Redskins sent out mixed signals in an effort to the keep Browns guessing. Griffin moved relatively well during the portions of practice open to reporters throughout the week, but then Cousins would take the first-team snaps once the session was closed. Wednesday didnt have the same smoke-screen feel. After playing decoy for a week, Griffin talked about throwing passes to receiver Pierre Garcon with an arm that was "a little bit more juiced up and ready to go." Griffin said his relationship with Shanahan hasnt been strained by having to sit out a game -- and that it was important not to let personal emotions bring down the team. "You dont take those things to the field and try to become a cancer or a distraction to the team," Griffin said. "You support the team. ... You can be unhappy about something, but youve still got to learn, and thats what I did. I was upset, but I never let that show on the field and just watched and was able to see it from a different perspective." Griffin, the No. 2 overall draft pick and No. 2 in the league in passer rating, was hurt late in the fourth quarter of the win over the Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 9. Fellow rookie Cousins led the Redskins to victory in relief, then threw for 329 yards in the 38-21 victory over the Browns. The win (8-6) put the Redskins in control of their playoff fate. Their five-game winning streak has them tied with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants atop the NFC East, and Washington holds the tiebreaker over both clubs. The victory also gave Cousins a chance to bask in the glow of being a winning starting NFL quarterback. His run of fame continued Wednesday when he showed up for a session with reporters with his mop of hair gone, replaced by a close-cut do that -- from the eyebrows up -- made him look at least 45 years old. "I have to apologize to my family and friends back home," he said. "I think Im embarrassing them. I try to represent them well, and my haircuts not doing it." He then explained that when he went to get a haircut on Monday, he had a "communication breakdown" with a female barber whose English wasnt the best. She also took off his glasses, so he couldnt see what she was doing. "She wheels me back around," Cousins said. "I look at the mirror and I realized I had a Mohawk. So I tell her, Just shave it off. I dont know what to tell you. So she just buzzed it off, and I have to live with this for the next couple of weeks until it grows back. ... The tough thing was that I didnt realize until that moment that I do have a receding hairline. That was tough to take. My dad is more-or-less completely bald, and I was hoping I wasnt going to get his genes." Cousins remarks were televised live on national television, and soon he was trending on Twitter. Griffin called the haircut "bad." Shortly afterward, Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was looking at a photo of the haircut on the Internet and discussing it on the phone with Redskins writers. "Wow," Foles said. "Im going to have to do that to mine -- cut it all off." Notes: The injury news was good all-around for the Redskins. In addition to Griffin, C Will Montgomery (Grade 2 sprain of left MCL) took part in the full practice, while RT Tyler Polumbus (concussion) was able to participate in the walk-through and said he expects to be cleared to play. ... DE Stephen Bowen was limited with an upper biceps tear, but Shanahan said it wont keep Bowen from playing. ... LB Lorenzo Alexander wore a non-contact jersey at practice because of a shoulder injury. ... The Redskins signed LB Vic Sooto to the active roster from the Green Bay Packers practice squad. Washington also signed G Pat Boyle to the practice squad and released LB Kourtnei Brown from the practice squad. Adidas Originals Zx Flux Mens .C.

BILBAO, Spain -- They were expected to be in Barcelona. They hope to finish their trip in Madrid. First, they had to take care of Bilbao. The Americans wrapped up the No. 1 seed in their group Wednesday, improving to 4-0 at the Basketball World Cup with a 106-71 victory over the Dominican Republic. Kenneth Faried, whose shooting percentage dropped after he missed three shots, scored 16 points for the U.S. DeMarcus Cousins came off the bench and added 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting. The Americans will finish Group C play in Bilbao on Thursday against Ukraine -- when U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski will coach against longtime friend and former NBA coach Mike Fratello -- before playing their round of 16 game Saturday night in Barcelona against the fourth-place team from Group D, which is still to be determined. A few wins there and they would play for gold in Madrid, but nobody was looking past step one. "Obviously we have to take care of here. Nothings given," forward Rudy Gay said. "Weve worked hard, weve been tested and weve overcome that, and also got some pretty big wins." The Americans surpassed 100 points for the second time in the tournament -- and they were "held" to 98 points in their other two games. Even after having to overcome a halftime deficit in one game, they came in averaging a tournament-best 103.3 points and were winning by 35.7 per game. All 12 players scored, and the ones who werent in the game were up cheering when back-of-the-bench centres Mason Plumlee and Andre Drummond hooked up on an alley-oop in the final minutes. "I believe everybody felt pretty good how they played tonight," Cousins said. "Thats what were going to need to continue this path." The Americans led by only three points after one quarter but had no trouble extending that as the game went on, as the Dominicans willingness to push the pace simply played into the Americans hands. Faried made 8 of 11 shots, a 73-per cent clip that actually lowered his percentage for the tournament to 78.dddddddddddd.4 per cent after the Denver forward came into the game hitting 81 per cent. Victor Liz scored 15 points for the Dominican Republic (2-2), which will face Turkey on Thursday, still in position to advance. The Dominicans played without Houston Rockets forward Francisco Garcia, who entered the days play tied for fourth in the tournament with 21 points per game. He appeared to turn an ankle late in the Dominicans victory over Finland on Tuesday, and though he finished the game, was walking gingerly Wednesday as he went to the bench after his teammates had come out to warm up. "They were short-handed. We knew that," Krzyzewski said. "I thought we did a good job tonight." The Americans ended up winning nearly as easily as their 105-62 exhibition victory on Aug. 20 in New York, though the Dominicans hung with them a little longer than that night. The U.S. lead was just 25-22 as the Dominicans attacked fearlessly but didnt have any answer for the Americans bigs. Faried had three straight baskets, a couple of them powerful dunks, and Anthony Davis knocked down a jumper to turn a seven-point lead into a 44-29 cushion. Gay got the final four points of the half, making a pair of free throws after he was clobbered intentionally on a breakaway by Edward Santana, then banking in a jumper that make it 56-41. A 25-point third quarter was followed by 25 more in the fourth, capped by a series of dunks down the stretch. DeMar DeRozan finished with 11 points, and Davis and James Harden each had 10 as the U.S. shot 56 per cent. Cousins said the Americans were a little sluggish early and still have to start their games better, but nobody was complaining about the finish. "We felt we were going to win and how you play overall, I thought everyone left the court feeling good about how they played," Krzyzewski said. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys Rafael Ramos Jersey ' ' '
