GREEN BAY, Wis. -- DuJuan Harris had a very good reason for missing the Green Bay Packers minicamp. A team physical Monday revealed that the running back had a fist-sized cyst on his lung. The cyst was drained and removed Tuesday morning, and Harris was already back home Wednesday when he announced the news in a series of tweets. "Thank God for team physicals!!!" Harris said in the first tweet, posting a picture of himself hooked up to a monitor, a large bandage covering the 1-inch incision on the right side of his chest. The cyst was not cancerous, agent Dave Lee said, and should not return. Harris needs to let the incision heal, but he should be fully recovered by the time training camp opens next month. "EVERYTHING IS FINE, (doctors) found a fist sized cyst on my lung next to my heart. Shows the importance of getting routine check-ups, GET YOURS!" Harris tweeted. "Its a (hash)blessing!!! Should be 110 per cent very soon and back to work. Thanks for the prayers and keeping me lifted!!! MUCH LOVE." Harris was the feel-good story of Green Bays season last year. The journeyman was cut by Jacksonville at the end of training camp, then spent all of four days in Pittsburgh before the Steelers let him go. He went back to Jacksonville and was working at a car dealership when the Packers signed him to the practice squad Oct. 24. Coaches were impressed right away with what they saw from the pint-sized running back -- he plays much bigger than his 5-foot-8, 208 pounds -- and when injuries decimated Green Bays running game, Harris was promoted to the active roster Dec. 1. His speed, elusiveness and surprising power gave the Packers the consistent run game theyd been searching for all season, and hed cemented his role as a starter by the end of the season. He rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns in four games, and caught a team-high five passes in the NFC wild-card win over Minnesota. "It definitely was a big deal for him last year, and I expect for him to find a way to get back out there again," wide receiver Randall Cobb said. He might be even better now, too. The cyst, which doctors believe Harris has had his entire life, was pressing on his lung, reducing its capacity, Lee said. After doctors discovered it, Harris told them hed occasionally felt pressure in his chest, but assumed it was indigestion. Now that its been removed, Harris will have full lung capacity. "The good news is, it might help him in the long run," said Lee, Harris agent. "He should be able to have more endurance. Im not going to say hell be quicker, but he could last a few more plays. Thats the silver lining of it: Hes actually going to come out physically in better shape than when he went into the surgery." Notes: With WR Randall Cobb expected to be one of Aaron Rodgers primary targets, along with Jordy Nelson and James Jones, his time on special teams would seem to be over. But that depends on his teammates, and whether any one of them can step up and take the job from him, coach Mike McCarthy said. "Theres an opportunity there for others to compete and perform," McCarthy said. "We wont know that until training camp." Cobb said he doesnt care what role he plays, as long as hes playing. "It doesnt matter to me as long as were getting wins," he said. "Whatever its going to take ... is what Im down to do." ... McCarthy said the "real football evaluation" of DL Johnny Jolly, who is trying to make the team after being suspended the past three seasons, will come in training camp. ... With Greg Jennings now with the Minnesota Vikings, James Jones joked that "I dont like Greg no more. He left us."... The Packers wont practice Thursday, opting for a team activity instead. Whats the activity? "I really dont know what it is yet. Were waiting on the weather," McCarthy said. Steady rain forced the Packers to practice inside both Tuesday and Wednesday. Replica Jerseys .

Fake NHL Jerseys .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona. South Africa promised to throw the first punch as part of the new approach to Test cricket and they did. But they didnt land nearly as many as would they have wanted as they staggered through the first day of their first Test in seven months sans a major contribution from anyone in the line-up.It may have been a little easier for South Africa to stomach where they sit now had New Zealands attack been a little more aggressive. Although Trent Boults bowled two threatening spells, Tim Southee found movement and Neil Wagner got his short ball going, New Zealand were not a constant threat. In their attempts to assert themselves, South Africa brought on their own demise to some extent and will have to find other ways of being forceful upfront.With an overhead cloud, warm air and two of the best swing bowlers on the circuit, Southee and Boult, to face, Faf du Plessis made his first statement of intent when he chose to bat. Conventional wisdom still favours putting runs on the board before allowing the opposition to, but with South Africa, by their own admission scarred from last summer and specifically their tour of India in which only AB de Villiers - not playing this series because of injury - crossed the fifty mark, it was a brave decision.The first ball drew the immediate gasps of the few hundred people in the ground when it seemed to swing violently. Stephen Cook looked to play to square leg but his outside edge ended up bobbling through gully. But the ball had not danced around a corner, Cook was just early on the shot. Thats not to say there was no movement. Southee found enough to keep the openers watchful but it was Trent Boult who properly challenged them, with deliveries that moved late.Picture a puppy whose owner teases him by pretending to throw a ball. The puppy cranes his neck, even begins to run after the imaginary object, only to find that the ball is still in the mans hand. Dean Elgar was that puppy. Sometimes he played too late, others times he was beaten and he never looked entirely comfortable.Much like Graeme Smith used to, Elgar survived through will rather than technique, which only made the way he got out look worse. He allowed Doug Bracewell to tempt him into the drive twice in the over. When Bracewell did it a third time, Elgar bit again and nicked a catch to second slip.Hashim Amlas response to the loss of the two openers was to send the ball to the boundary seven times in the next five overs but its not as though New Zealand werent asking for it. Southee had offered several spank-me deliveries, often after he had strung together some better ones, and Amla spanked. Overpitched? Four. Short and wide? Four. Bracewell? Four. Four. Four.Who was this man and what had he done with the Amla who averaged less than 19 at the ground that was his home for more than a decade before he chose the Cape Town-based Cobras as his domestic team? He was a man making a statement. So was the person who decided to send in JP Duminy at No. 4, perhaps to keep the left-right hand combination going, but also to allow a man who is experienced enough to be taking more respoonsibility.dddddddddddd Duminy squandered the chance. Although he looked better than he did through all of last summer, especially on the front foot, his first sign of uncertainty came when he swept in the penultimate over before lunch. A short leg was in place for that exact shot and Duminy almost played the ball into his hands. It was hardly surprising then, that Duminy fell into another trap after the break when a fine leg was waiting for a mistimed pull and, on cue, Duminy top-edged Wagner straight to the man. His shot selection would come into discussion about his future in the Test side.Duminy has now failed to pass fifty in 10 completed innings dating back to August 2014 in Zimbabwe but whether South Africa have the depth to replace him still needs to be examined. For now, Temba Bavuma has shown he can hold his own. He began in the same aggressive vein as Amla but then followed du Plessis lead and shut shop mid-way through the second session.In 14 overs before tea, South Africa eked out just 15 runs but not because New Zealand forced that on them. The bowling was not particularly miserly, Kane Williamson had spread the field and the scoreboard needed runs. Du Plessis and Bavuma showed they had perfected the leave and the block, which may come in handy on another day, but only served to stall a decent start on this one.When du Plessis innings was ended by a headline-grabber of a catch from his opposite number, he had spent an hour and 53 minutes at the crease and faced 84 balls and all he had to show for it was a demonstration of why an overly defensive approach does not always work. In this situation, the reality was that if the watchfulness did not turn into something worthwhile, it would be in danger of being a wasted effort. So it was.Quinton de Kock was never in danger of doing that. He top-edged the first ball he faced and not even the realisation that he only got away because the fielder was too square to take the catch could force him into a more conservative style of play. De Kock took advantage of a New Zealand attack that went searching with width, and played some of the shots of the day. A full-blooded drive to long-on, a carve through the covers and then two charges to drill the ball over mid-off and through midwicket off Mitchell Santner. Like Elgar, de Kock went one strike too many. The third time he ran down the pitch to Santner, he did not get the contact he wanted and skied the ball to mid-off to end an innings that could have gone on to better Amlas.So, South Africa find themselves on the ropes again, a position they are used to fighting back from. In pre-match build-up, du Plessis even went as far as to say there was a stage when South Africa were the only team around who were willing to take the time to dig themselves out of holes. They did not want to have to call on that skill but they have left themselves no choice. If things are to go their way in the rest of this Test match, they will have to counterpunch. ' ' '
