NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans have signed Tim Shaw to a one-day contract as the former NFL linebacker continues his battle against Lou Gehrigs disease, also known as ALS.The Titans announced the signing on their website Wednesday and called Shaw a Titan for life.The 32-year-old Shaw played in the NFL for Carolina (2007), Jacksonville (200, Chicago (2009) and Tennessee (2010-12).Shaw, a former Titans special-teams captain, was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in April 2014. ALS is a progressive disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.He announced his diagnosis in a video posted on the Titans website in the summer of 2014 and then poured ice water over his head as part of the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money and awareness to fight ALS.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLCustom Tigers Jerseys .

The lower tier of the Schl End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12.WASHINGTON -- By the time Game 1 of the National League Division Series rolls around, Daniel Murphy will have gone three weeks without a start for the Washington Nationals.When the NL East champs host the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday to get things started, one big question will be which team deals better with all the time off since the end of the regular season.Another will be how the Nationals fare without starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg and slugging catcher Wilson Ramos, both sidelined by injuries (Strasburg for the series, Ramos for the season). And yet another will be how key players such as 2015 postseason star (while with the Mets) Murphy, 2015 NL MVP Bryce Harper and franchise stalwart Ryan Zimmerman deal with nagging ailments.Almost everybody has something, Washington manager Dusty Baker said. So our training staff and everybody will be busy working on guys.After giving his players Monday off, Baker will gather them at Nationals Park on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for workouts. One benefit of waiting until Friday to start their postseason is the extra time for dealing with health issues.Murphy last started a game on Sept. 17, kept out by a strained glute muscle. Since then, he has had only three at-bats, including a flyout as a pinch hitter in Sundays regular-season finale. Baker says he expects to have Murphy in the lineup against the Dodgers.What does the player himself say?Its tough to guess whats going to happen on Friday on Sunday, Murphy said. But hopefully.His impact on the Nationals success -- the nearly wire-to-wire division title, the 95 wins, the home-field advantage in the NLDS -- cant be overstated.ddddddddddddA year ago, remember, Murphy starred for the Mets in October, homering in a record six consecutive postseason games and earning NLCS MVP honors. That helped him get a $37.5 million, three-year deal from Washington, with a salary of $8 million in 2016.All Murphy did was hit .347 with 25 homers, 47 doubles and 104 RBI -- all team highs -- and really carry the offense for much of what turned out to be a real down season for Harper.The youngest unanimous MVP in baseball history last season, Harper batted only .243 with 24 homers and 86 RBI in 2016. After hurting his left thumb on a slide in late September, he sat out four games, then returned to go 1 for 11 with eight strikeouts over the last three days of the regular season.Zimmerman, dealing with a bad calf, finished with career lows in batting average (.21, on-base percentage (.272) and slugging percentage (.370).Youve got to tighten up little things, because theres nothing you can about whats already here. You dont have Ramos. You dont have this guy; this guy might not be swinging well; this guy might not be healthy. Or whatever it is. I just have to manage around that. Its not easy. Id rather just have everybody healthy and just have a set lineup, and me just sit back. But Ive never had that. Thats never been the case. So I dont expect that, Baker said. I just burn the midnight oil sometimes and keep that pad by my bed, and when I get a thought, I go with it.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
