PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Mario Williams requires rest and treatment to allow his sore left foot time to heal, Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone says after the defensive end returned to training camp following a two-day absence. Clearing up days of speculation and questions, Marrone said Williams was examined by team doctors and North Carolina-based foot specialist, Robert Anderson. Though theres no timetable for when Williams will be cleared for practice, Marrone said its likely a matter of days. Williams said he felt "fine," and doesnt regard the injury to be "that serious." He referred most questions to Marrone, citing team policy that requires the coach to discuss injuries. Williams spent Wednesday working out on his own on the sideline. He first complained of the sore foot before the teams first practice Sunday. Wholesale Jerseys China .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Manu Ginobilis emotions were jumbled as he tried to put his Olympic journey into words.Long after his last game inside the rings ended, the balding forward who once again had done all he could in defeat, returned to the floor and was handed the game ball. Ginobili tucked it under his left arm and looked like he would never let it go.The golden trip for Ginobili and Argentina is over.Its been an amazing run, he said, his eyes watery, his voice strained.Argentinas final run at another Olympic medal came to an end on Wednesday night as the U.S. rolled to a 105-78 win, setting up a semifinal matchup with Spain while ending an era for Argentina.There would be no more magic, no improbable victory or stunning upset. Argentinas adored Golden Generation, which after a surprising second-place finish at the 2002 world championships stunned the Americans two years later at the Athens Games. The players captured an Olympic title and the hearts of their countrymen, but their run reached the end.But their legacy will endure as Ginobili, Luis Scola, Carlos Delfino and Andres Nocioni -- the only ones left from that team in Greece 12 years ago and the one which won bronze in 2008- left a lasting impression across the basketball globe.The 39-year-old Ginobili wont play in the Olympics again, and after the final horn sounded, U.S. forward Carmelo Anthony wrapped his arms around a player who beat him in his first Olympics but also a man he has grown to respect.I know what he means not just to basketball in Argentina but to the country as a whole, said Anthony, a four-time Olympian. Hes put in a lot of work and he has represented them in a great fashion. Hes put that country on his back over the years and I just told him, `Thank you, especially for me playing against him over the past four Olympics. I just wanted to say, `Thank you.Ginobili was moved by Anthonys gesture and that of U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski, who offered similar sentiments.They congratulated me and Im very proud of their words, said Ginobili, who scored 14 points. They were very kind, very respectful and when legends of the game showed their respect, it has an extra value.dddddddddddd. They didnt have to do it, they could have just shaken my hand and do other things and start to think about Spain. They spared some very kind words and I truly appreciate it.For Argentinas passionate fans, Ginobilis farewell hurts.They chanted Ole ... ole ... ole ... Man-ooh ... Man-ooh toward him and Ginobili smiled and waved to acknowledge their cheers. All of Argentinas players are popular, but not like Ginobili.Hes numero uno.A Hall of Fame player. A Hall of Fame competitor. And as fierce a competitor that as a coach Ive had to face in my entire time in international basketball, Krzyzewski said. Really, theres been nobody completely like him. He plays all positions. And with the heart and commitment that hes had for his country, no one could have represented his country at a higher level or better than Manu Ginobili. ... Ultimate respect from all of us.The Argentines jumped to a 19-9 lead on the Americans, who then went on a 27-2 run to take control.Of course the outcome was disappointing to Argentina, but it didnt quiet their fans, who engaged in a back and forth with Brazils backers throughout that game. In the final minutes, the blue-and-white clad fans poured into one end of Carioca Arena, where they shouted and danced side to side.When Ginobili, who plans to play one more season for the San Antonio Spurs, was replaced by coach Sergio Hernandez with 1:52 left, Argentina fans screamed one last time for a player whose impact will be felt for years.Over two decades, Ginobili gave them everything.Im proudest of that, Ginobili said. The longevity, the way we played the game, all the things we accomplished, the friendships and the camaraderie we created. This year is the 20th year since my first game with the national team, so Im very proud and at the same time Im sad and happy because having an opportunity to play this game at 39, its not something that happens often.Im incredibly lucky to have stayed healthy and stayed with some of the same guys for so long. Im very proud of it. ' ' '
