Australian offensive lineman David Yankey is back with Carolina Panthers a day after being cut by the NFL team.The Panthers, runners-up in last seasons Super Bowl, saw enough talent in the Sydney-born 198cm tall, 141kg guard to add him to the teams 10-man practice squad.Yankey, 24, was a casualty on Saturday when NFL teams were forced to slash their squads from 75 players to 53 ahead of this weeks start to the 2016/17 season.The Panthers will be seeking revenge in their season opener on Thursday in a Super Bowl re-match against the champion Denver Broncos, featuring Australian rookie defensive end Adam Gotsis.While Gotsis could play at Denvers Mile High stadium, Yankey and other practice squad players are not eligible to take the field.Practice squad members work out and practice with the 53-man roster, but they do not play games and are paid about $[US] 100,000 for the year, well below the $[US] 450,000 minimum rookie salary.NRL star Jarryd Hayne found himself on the San Francisco 49ers practice squad last season after three fumbles and other mistakes cost him his place in the 53-man squad.Yankey had a stellar four-year stint at Stanford University where he was a two-time All-American selection, but he has struggled to earn a place in the NFL since being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 and waived by the team in 2015.Australian punters Brad Wing (New York Giants), Jordan Berry (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Lachlan Edwards (New York Jets) are also set to play in the NFL this season.

Nike Shoes Canada Clearance .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Utah coach Kyle Whittingham saw a glimpse of the offensive efficiency he wants during a 19-play, 78-yard drive that tied up most of the fourth quarter last week in the Utes over rival BYU.That was a thing of beauty, Whittingham said. You get in that situation where you have a lead in the fourth quarter, youve got to run to win. And thats what we did.Freshman running back Zack Moss, who carried the load in the 11:21 possession that led to a field goal, is expected to be rewarded with his first career start Saturday night when the Utes (2-0) visit San Jose State (1-1).Moss carried eight times for 41 yards on the drive that took the fourth-quarter game clock from 14:08 to 2:47 before Andy Phillips kicked a 29-yard field goal in the 20-19 win. Moss finished the game with 58 yards on 12 attempts.Zach came in and gave us a spark, Whittingham said. That was very evident and he deserves a chance to be the guy.Whittingham said there still will be competition in practice to replace departed star Devontae Booker, who rushed for 2,773 yards and 21 touchdowns the past two seasons.But the field is thinner now that Joe Williams retired from football this week because of nagging injuries. Williams started the first two games, but fumble issues dropped him to third on the depth chart.Moss occupies the No. 1 spot, ahead of Troy McCormick, who rushed 10 times for 62 yards against BYU.Here are some other things to watch when Utah visits San Jose State:HANGOVER FEARS: Whittingham and the Utes are conscious theyve lost the week after their three most recent victories over BYU.The key is the rivalry hangover has been a factor for us. Weve got to avoid that this year, Whittingham said. When we played the rivalry game early in the season, it had a negative impact the next week. Thats our challenge -- to not let that happen.One difference is the opponent: After wins over BYU in 2011, 12 and 13, the Utes lost to Pac-12 opponents Washington, Arizona SState and UCLA, respectively.dddddddddddd. Utah and BYU did not face each other in 2014 or 15.TURNOVER ISSUES: The Utes won last week despite six turnovers, including three interceptions by first-year starting quarterback Troy Williams.Our main key is taking care of the ball, Williams said. We felt like we were doing a lot of right things, and we were able to move the ball. There wasnt really anything we couldnt do. Just too many turnovers.RARE OPPORTUNITY: San Jose State has lost 20 consecutive games to schools currently playing in Power Five conferences. Since 2007, the Spartans have dropped games to the likes of Stanford, Alabama, Auburn, USC, Nebraska and Washington. All 20 of those defeats were road games, and the Spartans relish the chance to face Utah in San Jose.Its exciting for us to be able to host a Pac-12 program, Spartans coach Ron Caragher said. We have a lot of respect for the conference.San Jose States most recent win over a Power Five school was 35-34 at home against Stanford in 2006.D-LINE PRAISE: The Spartans are coming off a 66-35 win over FCS foe Portland State in which they piled up 409 yards rushing. Caragher knows the challenge will be much greater after watching tape of Utahs defensive linemen.From an athletic standpoint, they look like tight ends and slot receivers, but theyre 290, 300 pounds, he said. Any offensive line going up against those guys is going to have their hands full.COMING AND GOING: Having served a two-game suspension after being charged with criminal mischief for damaging a campus police vehicle and building, Utah senior wide receiver and kick returner Cory Butler-Byrd is eligible to play. Whittingham said he wasnt sure Butler-Byrd would see action in Saturdays game. Meanwhile, the Utes lost senior defensive end Kylie Fitts to a season-ending foot injury from the BYU game. ' ' '
