This will be the busiest weekend without actual games played on the NFL calendar, with all 32 teams required to pare their rosters to 53 players for the regular season before signing a 10-man practice squad.There are many different types of transactions that can be made, some of them easier to understand than others.Heres a list of the most common moves that will be announced around the league after the deadline on Saturday afternoon:RELEASED: When a team drops a player from the roster whos considered a vested veteran, with four or more years in the league, his contract is terminated and hes immediately free to sign with any other club. Only after the trade deadline, set this year for Nov. 1, does a vested veteran first pass through the waiver system.WAIVED: When a team drops a player from the roster with less than four years of service. He must go through the waiver process, during which he can be claimed by another club over a 24-hour period. Through the first three weeks of the regular season, the queue follows the same order in which teams picked in the most recent draft. From the fourth weekend of the regular season through the Super Bowl, priority is determined by inverse order of win-loss records around the league. If a player passes through waivers unclaimed, he becomes a free agent.RESERVE/INJURED: When a team places an injured player on a reserve list thats exempt from the 53-man limit. Hes ineligible to return in the same season.RESERVE/INJURED WITH DESIGNATION TO RETURN: Each team has one such card to play each season, when a player on injured reserve can return to practice after at least six weeks on the list and play after at least eight weeks on the list.RESERVE/PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO PERFORM: When a player is placed on a reserve list that doesnt count against the 53-man limit for a minimum of six weeks. Theres a window from the week of the seventh regular-season game extending through the conclusion of the 11th regular-season weekend when players on the PUP list can begin practicing. If a player is not moved to the active roster after three weeks of practice, he reverts to injured reserve and cant practice or play the rest of the season. The PUP list, like the designation to return, is essentially a short-term injured reserve.RESERVE/NON-FOOTBALL INJURY OR ILLNESS: Mirroring the PUP list rules, this is for players hurt outside of team activities or have a medical condition preventing them from participation.RESERVE/SUSPENDED: This is a list for players, also exempt from the 53-man limit, who are serving NFL-ordered suspensions. Theyre not paid, and they cant practice with the team until theyre returned to the active roster.PRACTICE SQUAD: Each teams 10-player practice squad can be assembled beginning on Sunday. Up to four of the players can have two accrued seasons in the league, as counted by spending at least six weeks on a teams active roster or reserve list. Players can spend two seasons on the practice squad, as defined by at least six weeks equaling one season.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLChief Bender White Sox Jersey . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. Nellie Fox White Sox Jersey .

They joked about it at their news conference, agreeing that Lopez won 6-0, but trading good-natured barbs and chuckles because Lopez insisted Nadal was 14 at the time, while Nadal said he was only 12 and, therefore, couldnt possibly have had a fair chance.He was a phenom, Lopez recalled.Nadal has gone on to collect 14 major championships, as well as an Olympic title in singles at the 2008 Beijing Games. This gold he got to share with Lopez, a first-time medalist.The silver for Mergea and Tecau is the first tennis medal for Romania in Olympic history.The bronze went to Steve Johnson and Jack Sock of the United States. They beat the Canadian team of Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil 6-2, 6-4.It is going to be an incredible feeling for the rest of the summer, the rest of the year, for life, Sock said. We are going to have this forever. Its something that we can share.Sock and Pospisil won the 2014 Wimbledon doubles championship.It was another busy day for Nadal, who won his singles quarterfinal in three sets earlier Friday and had been sidelined sincee withdrawing from the French Open with an injured left wrist.ddddddddddddTo win a gold medal today, after 2+ months with no practice, with no preparation at all, just working in the gym, is something not easy, he said.Nadal does not play doubles often, focusing on a singles career that has included stints at No. 1 in the rankings and a record nine French Open titles. Of his nine previous tour doubles titles, four came with Lopez, although they hadnt played a match together this year until arriving in Brazil.Lopez won his first Grand Slam doubles title at the French Open in June, pairing with Feliciano Lopez -- theyre not related -- to beat American twins Bob and Mike Bryan in that final.On Friday, the Romanians appeared to get the upper hand when they broke Marc Lopez to lead 4-3 in the final set. Lopez double-faulted to love-40, then hit a mediocre lob. Tecaus overhead was netted by Nadal.But in the very next game, with Tecau serving, the Spanish duo broke right back. Mergea sailed a forehand long to set up a break point, then put a volley into the net, making it 4-all.After Nadal held for a 5-4 edge, the Spaniards broke again, converting their third match point when Mergea sent an overhead long.Nadal and Lopez, both near the baseline, dropped their rackets and fell to the court, staying down for a few moments to enjoy the victory.After the winners got up and shook hands with their opponents and the chair umpire, Nadal pulled Lopez in for a big hug.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
