Butler has been out since
Napsal: pon 13. srp 2018 1:55:34Mitchell Leff/Getty ImagesPhiladelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said Tuesday the team must leave its Super Bowl LII triumph over the New England Patriots in the past and focus fully on the 2018 NFL season following Thursday's ring ceremony.Pederson told reporters it will be time to "put [the championship] to bed" starting Friday."It's a great opportunity for us Isaiah Wynn Jersey , great motivating factor for us, to sort of rip off the dog masks and no longer be the underdog, but now be the hunted Cheap Darius Leonard Jersey ," he said. "Have the target on our back."Winning back-to-back Super Bowl titles is an arduous task for a multitude of reasons, including the fact that the reigning champs have a proverbial target on their back all year, as Pederson alluded. The Patriots were the last team to accomplish the feat in 2003 and 2004.The Eagles' journey to the Lombardi Trophy was surprising given that they lost starting quarterback Carson Wentz to a season-ending knee injury in December.Journeyman backup Nick Foles Cheap Derwin James Jersey , who started his career in Philly and returned prior to last season, filled the void and earned Super Bowl MVP honors to cap his memorable run.Philadelphia is now in position to make a serious repeat push.Wentz is expected back in time for the start of the regular season, and the offense will be in the capable hands of Foles should there be a setback in the rising star's recovery. And the Eagles return most of their starters at other positions.They're listed with the second-best odds (8-1) to win next season's Super Bowl behind only the perennially contending Pats (5-1) James Washington Steelers Jersey , per聽OddsShark.Their early-season schedule doesn't do them any favors, however, starting with a clash against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1.They can't afford a Super Bowl hangover Cheap Taven Bryan Jersey , which is likely why Pederson is insistent on leaving their championship celebrations in the rear-view mirror following Thursday's ceremony. Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star shooting guard Jimmy Butler is available to play in a pivotal matchup against Denver after missing 16 games with a right knee injury.
He wasn’t listed in the starting lineup Thursday night against the Nuggets, who are right on the Timberwolves’ heels in the playoff chase.
Butler recently told reporters he was ”this close” to a return, but was considered doubtful for the game.
Butler has been out since suffering a knee injury on Feb. 23 at Houston. He had surgery two days later to repair the meniscus and has steadily been working his way back.
The Wolves are 8-8 since Butler was sidelined. He’s averaging 22.2 points Brian O'Neill Youth Jersey , 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists.
