Mark Wood has been ruled out of Englands tour to India after the discovery that he bowled at the tail end of the English domestic season with a broken ankle.It all means that Wood faces a third ankle operation within a year and, however optimistic the prognosis, it is bound to cast doubts on the resilience of Englands fastest bowler and invite concerns about his career both at county and England level.Wood had already been ruled out of the one-day and Test series in Bangladesh and his hopes of recovering in time for the India tour were banished when it was discovered that he fractured a bone in his left ankle when bowling in a Specsavers County Championship match against Surrey in September.With Durham under threat of relegation, he chose to ignore warning signs that something was wrong and battled on gamely. Durham stayed up, but it all came to naught when the ECB relegated them anyway after reluctantly intervening to prevent their bankruptcy.Englands national physiotherapy lead Ben Langley put an optimistic slant on Woods recovery, taking comfort from the fact that the injury is different to the one that required two earlier operations.Woody showed his commitment to Durham with the way he bowled 35 overs in that Surrey game, and we know now that he also showed a hell of a lot of courage and resilience, Langley said.His foot and ankle swelled up hugely during the game, which was obviously worrying, and then we were perplexed when nothing significant showed up on the first scan.It was only when we got him in for a second scan that we discovered hed been playing on despite having fractured a bone.So its a different injury to what hes had the previous surgery for, and theres no reason to think that when hes had this bone fragment removed, he wont be able to get back to bowling as well he has for Durham, England Lions and England in the second half of the 2016 summer.Wood has been awarded a central Test contract by England for 2016-17 - without such an award it would have been questionable about whether Durham could have afforded his salary so soon after requiring a financial bailout from the ECB - but his ability to fulfil a full international summer remains unproven.He made a blistering comeback in the second half of the summer, delivering some of the most potent fast-bowling spells of the season as he helped Durhams to the final of the NatWest T20 Blast and also featured in Englands 4-1 victory over Pakistan in their one-day international series.He bowled more than 200 overs in all competitions, purportedly without ill effects, but when he pulled out of the Bangladesh tour the problems became evident. Concerns can only have deepened with the latest news.

Seth Joyner Eagles Jersey . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- After missing the playoffs the past four years and then saying goodbye to Tom Coughlin, the New York Giants opened their wallets and seemingly bought new coach Ben McAdoo a shot at the postseason.The price tag: $40 million, at least for this season.That was the cost to re-sign Jason Pierre-Paul and lure fellow defensive end Olivier Vernon, defensive tackle Damon Snacks Harrison, cornerback Janoris Jenkins and linebacker Kennan Robinson to the team that hasnt done much since beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl in February 2012.With Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. leading the offense, it just might be enough to make the Giants relevant in the weak NFC East after two straight 6-10 seasons.While they didnt have a very talented roster last season, the Giants werent that far off. They lost six games either late in the fourth quarter or in overtime. A defensive play here or there and those might have been Ws.Now defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has some talent, especially on the defensive line with JPP, Vernon, Harrison and fellow tackle Johnathan Hankins.Were going to be better because of players, Spagnuolo said. We are going to be better because of better coaching, less mistakes. We are going to be better because its the second year in the system. Thats what we fully expect to do, everything that has and what we went through last year is over and done, we are moving on.A lot of the focus this season will be on the 39-year-old McAdoo. He installed the West Coast offense and revived Mannings career two seasons ago. Now he will be getting his first chance to run a team.He has preached evolution and not revolution since taking over.We started to establish our identity- without pads- but sound, smart and tough, committed to discipline and poise, McAdoo said after a mandatory minicamp last month. We know what it looks like now.Whether it translates to the regular season will depend on some things:MONEY WELL SPENT: Will the investment in the defense pay off? The line should be very good against the run, especially with Harrison anchoring the middle. The pass rush will be the key. Vernon was one of the best in the game in Miami and that should not change. The question is whether JPP produces in his first full season since mangling hiis right hand in a fireworks accident almost 13 months ago.ddddddddddddOPPOSITE BECKHAM: Manning and Beckham were limited last season because there really wasnt a second receiver. Victor Cruz didnt play in a game because of injury. He has been limited to six over the last two seasons and how much he will contribute this year is uncertain. It is more likely that second-round draft pick Sterling Shepard will emerge as the No. 2 guy. He looked good in the OTAs and minicamps, but thats not close to the real thing. Second-year pro Geremy Davis and Dwayne Harris also will get a shot at being the other guy.THE O-LINE: After releasing Will Beatty and Geoff Schwartz in the offseason, the Giants seemingly are going with the same offensive line led by Ereck Flowers and Justin Pugh on the left side. It needs to produce a running game and McAdoo must also find a No. 1 back. After using four backs last season, Rashad Jennings emerged as the No. 1 guy. The depth chart has five backs this year with rookie Paul Perkins, the fifth-round choice, now in the mix.SAFETY: This is the second year the safety position has a help-wanted sign. Landon Collins, the second-round draft in 2015, had an outstanding rookie season and has one job nailed down. Brandon Meriweather was not re-signed so there is inexperience on the other side. Nat Berhe, Mykkele Thompson and Bennett Jackson all missed last season with injuries. Rookie Darian Thompson, a third-round pick from Boise State, was given a lot of responsibility in the minicamps and OTAs and might be the starter.BIG BEN: Replacing a coach who led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles in his 12 seasons is not going to be easy. Rookies make mistakes; it does not matter whether you are a player or a coach at his first rodeo as the No. 1 rider, that will happen. One of the first things to watch is whether McAdoo continues calling the offensive plays or lets Mike Sullivan, his replacement as coordinator, do it. Having Spagnuolo to run the defense will ease some of his overall burden. Working two years under Coughlin should help McAdoo make the transition.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
