BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU coach Les Miles expects star running back Leonard Fournette to be available for Saturdays SEC opener against Mississippi State.I think hell practice, if not every day, certainly four of those days or three of those days [this week], Miles predicted at his Monday news conference.Fournette sat out LSUs 34-13 win over Jacksonville State after reinjuring his left ankle late in the Tigers season-opening loss to Wisconsin. Fournette participated briefly in pregame warm-ups before deciding not to test the ankle against the FCS opponent.In his place, sophomore Derrius Guice rushed for 155 yards and a touchdown, while Darrel Williams had a combined 51 yards rushing and receiving and Nick Brossette rushed for 40 yards.[Fournette] told me dont be nervous, do what we always do and just seize the moment because its here now, Guice said. You cant turn back. I just had to step up and take over while he wasnt there.Fournette should be back on Saturday, although Miles said the coaches will monitor his workload against the Bulldogs with LSU playing SEC games each of the next four Saturdays.Were going to be very cognizant of how Leonard feels and whats going on with his health, Miles said. But were fortunate to have -- we used a kind of running back by committee with Leonard missing, and I think it kept Derrius fresh and Darrel fresh and got some other guys in.But yeah, I think were fortunate to have real quality backs to turn to when you have a guy like Leonard Fournette out of the lineup. We are looking forward, though, to seeing him return.NHL Jerseys China . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason.

Really emotional, she sobbed. Just because as well hes going to be retired, I havent said when but its on the cards to retire. Go home and make a plan. I know Ive done my best and hes done his.Dujardin finished ahead of Isabell Werth and Kristina Broring-Sprehe, who were both part of the Germany team that won Friday.It was a fourth silver medal for Werth and a 10th overall, making the 47-year-old the most decorated Olympic equestrian rider.Im really happy about it, Werth said. When I went in I knew Charlotte had 93 or 94 percent so I knew we would not have the next world wonder but I tried, it was really fun today and I enjoyed my ride. Its been fantastic for us the German team, with the gold, silver and bronze.Werth had a score of 89.071 on Weihegold OLD, with Broring-Sprehe posting 87.142 on Desperados.Dujardin visited Rio de Janeiros famoous Christ the Redeemer statue the previous day and joked I got on my hands and knees and prayed .dddddddddddd.. and maybe that helped.The British rider admitted she had felt the pressure and expectation to deliver and felt unusually nervous going into the arena.Going to London I didnt have any expectations for the individual, Dujardin said. I just went out there, did my thing and it happened. Coming here, I had to defend that title, I had expectations, I had the pressure and I did feel it a liitle bit, for the first time ever.As soon as I got in the arena, I trotted around the outside and Valegro gave me the most incredible feeling, put a smile on my face and I just knew then it was all going to be okay and it was. It was just one of those magical rides where you know you have that partnership, that connection, that bond with your horse.Valegro may be set to retire imminently, but Dujardin already has her sights set on a third successive gold in Tokyo -- although she knows it will be a tall order to find another brilliant horse.How many horses can do that time and time again, she said. He is a once in a lifetime horse. Its another huge challenge to try and recreate and do it all over again. There will never be another Valegro. I dont want anyone ever to compare a horse I ride to Valegro because there will never be another him. ' ' '
