WINNIPEG - Winnipeg Jets centre Jim Slater has undergone off-season hip surgery, but it isnt expected to keep him from training camp.
Jermaine Gresham Cardinals Jersey . General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff issued a statement Friday about the operation to fix
a problem that was diagnosed after the season ended. "Jim Slater underwent
successful hip labrum surgery yesterday to repair an issue that was diagnosed
following the season," said Cheveldayoff. The labrum is a ring of cartilage
around the outside rim of the socket of the hip joint. "The surgery was
performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hip Preservation Center in New York. It is
anticipated Jim will make a full recovery in time for training camp in
September." Slater has had a rough couple of seasons with the Jets. Injuries
limited his playing time to only 26 games in 2012-13 and just 27 last season,
when he was sidelined by a hernia.

Nicholsons ability to establish, build and maintain connections turned Hockey

Peyton Manning writes down his New Years resolutions on index cards. "My dad,
since I was a kid, hes been telling us, Write them down," Manning said. Though
he refused to divulge whats on those cards, or what his lifetime success rate
has been with those resolutions, he hasnt left much doubt about what his
day-to-day goals on the football field were for 2012, the year of his comeback.
Work hard. Improve. Keep building chemistry. Those are the only ways to get to
the ultimate goal -- winning the Super Bowl, which is something Manning and the
Denver Broncos are now favoured to do. Yet to hear Manning tell it, even if the
Broncos do win it all, there will still be room for improvement -- quite a tall
task for a quarterback who compiled some of the best numbers of his career and a
team that finished tied for the leagues best record at 13-3. "Im not sure you
can do it all in one season," Manning said Wednesday, after the Broncos, the
AFCs top-seeded team, practiced for the first time during their bye week. "I
think weve done a good job of being the best that we possibly can in this short
period of time." What began as a season of mystery for Manning -- How would his
body react after missing more than a year with the neck injury? How would his
new teammates respond to him? -- has turned into one of his very best campaigns.
He threw 400 completions for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns, completed 68.6 per
cent of his passes and finished with a 105.8 passer rating -- all franchise
records and ranked second best of the 14 years hes played in the NFL. He is in
the mix for his fifth Most Valuable Player award, votes for which are being
counted this week. On Wednesday, he received his second AFC offensive player of
the week honour this year. It marked the 23rd time hes received that over his
career, tied with Tom Brady for most ever. "To be able to come out and
participate like hes done, to be one of the top quarterbacks in the league, its
unbelievable," receiver Demaryius Thomas said. "He had an injury that not many
people come back from." His latest award came on the strength of a 23-for-29,
304-yard, three-touchdown game against Kansas City on Sunday. The highlights
were his touchdowns to Eric Decker and Thomas, who stretched out (in Deckers
case) or up (in Thomas case) to make one-handed grabs on balls Manning put in
places where only they, and not the defensive backs covering them, could catch
them. Were they passes he wouldve thrown to those receivers in Week 1? "Probably
would have thrown them earlier, not sure if we wouldve completed them," Manning
said.
Tyvon Branch Cardinals Jersey. "Its hard to say. But theres no question, it would be just downright disappointing if we had
not improved throughout the season." Manning, however, doesnt judge improvement
simply on completions or any other numbers on the stat sheet. Its a much more
intangible thing to him. Take the touchdowns against Kansas City. Manning said
neither he nor the receivers had seen the kind of coverage the Chiefs were in on
those plays until Sunday, the last week of the NFL season. The next time they
see it, though, theyll have a readymade reference point. "So if you play
together long enough, then you can say, Hey, remember Kansas City in 2012?
Remember that? Oh, yeah," Manning said. "Im not going to have that much
eligibility to be able to refer back too long, but those guys certainly will.
Its been kind of like cramming for a test and I think both of those guys have
put in the time to cram and weve really worked hard in the short time weve had
together." In fact, its the chemistry hes built with Thomas, Decker and the rest
of the receivers that Manning lists as one of his most pleasant surprises this
season. "The rapport with the receivers has come probably quicker than I
thought," he said. "I really didnt know on some of the timing routes, some of
the adjustments and things." Its not to say flaws dont exist, but "I dont think
it makes any sense to reveal those things with a game coming up." Indeed, its
now time to make the best of the hand theyve got. In Denvers case, its a pretty
good hand. "There are still things that I wish would be better and I think you
kind of have to pick and choose your battles," Manning said. "Its, Hey, weve
only had 16 games together, were not going to be able to fix that. But lets try
to get really good at this. Lets be as good as we can at that. Some things just
take time." Notes: Broncos offensive co-ordinator Mike McCoy will have three
interviews this weekend for vacant head-coaching positions -- with Arizona,
Buffalo and Chicago. The interviews will take place in Denver. ... Executive
vice-president of football operations John Elway denied the Chargers an
opportunity to interview player personnel director Matt Russell for its vacant
GM position. ... Though he wasnt required to give an injury report, Broncos
coach John Fox said KR Trindon Holliday (ankle) was making progress. "I think
Trindon will be able to go next Saturday," Fox said. ... The Broncos are 0-1 vs.
Baltimore in the post-season and 0-2 vs. Indianapolis, though both those games
came when Manning was with the Colts. The Broncos and Bengals have never met in
the playoffs.
