ATLANTA -- Rookie cornerback Desmond Trufant has signed a four-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons and was the first player to report for the start of training camp. Atlanta announced the deal Wednesday. Trufants agent, Doug Hendrickson, told The Associated Press that the contract was for $8.16 million with $4.3 million guaranteed. "Desmond is very excited to get started," Hendrickson said. "He made it clear he wanted to be in camp on time. As usual, the Falcons were great to work with, and were glad to get this deal done." Trufant was one of the first players to report to dorms at the teams training facility in Flowery Branch, Ga. Camp officially begins on Thursday with the first practice. Atlanta traded up eight spots in a draft-day deal with St. Louis to select Trufant out of Washington. He is the leading candidate to start at right cornerback but will have to beat out Robert Alford, a second-round pick from Southeastern Louisiana. In six years under general manager Thomas Dimitroff, the Falcons have had only two players not report on time because of a contract dispute. Offensive tackle Sam Baker missed the first practice of camp in 2008. Veteran wideout Roddy White missed the first eight days of 2009 before signing a six-year deal that made him one of the NFLs highest-paid receivers. Trufant was the last of eight draft picks this year to finalize a contract with the Falcons. Quarterback Sean Renfree, a seventh-round selection from Duke, signed Wednesday, too. Trufant has two brothers with NFL experience in the secondary. Marcus Trufant played his first 10 seasons in Seattle before signing with Jacksonville two months ago. Isaiah Trufant, a career reserve, is preparing for his fourth season with the New York Jets. Desmond Trufant is competing with Alford to replace Dunta Robinson, who signed with Kansas City in March after the Falcons released him to clear salary cap room. Atlanta lost former starting cornerback Brent Grimes and former reserve Christopher Owens to unrestricted free agency. The only current Falcons cornerback with substantial starting experience is Asante Samuel, a four-time Pro Bowl pick who holds the left-side job. Air Max 95 Uk Release .J.

But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray knows that he and his teammates have some work to do if they want to reach the playoffs.At 5-6, the Titans might have to run the table to earn their first postseason berth since 2008.You want to stack up as many wins as you can, especially in our position, Murray said. Were in a scenario now where we have a chance to do that. Were a good football team, and were going to keep fighting.This week, the Titans will take their fight north as they square off against the Chicago Bears (2-8). Tennessee will try to climb back to .500 before heading into a bye in Week 13.Meanwhile, Chicago is looking for anything positive to build upon in what has become a nightmare season. The Bears have lost two games in a row and five of their last six as they prepare for what likely will be quarterback Matt Barkleys first NFL start in place of an injured Jay Cutler.The game will mark the first appearance at Soldier Field for Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota. The 23-year-old Hawaiian has enjoyed a breakout season with 2,772 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions for a 100.3 passer rating. He needs 228 passing yards to become the first 3,000-yard passer for Tennessee since Matt Hasselbeck in 2011.Mariota also will try to improve upon his franchise record by throwing for multiple touchdowns in his eighth consecutive game. He reached seven straight games last week to move past Hall of Famer Warren Moon, who had six multiple-touchdown games in a row in 1987.The second-year quarterback credited his teammates in the huddle for his success. He said his receiving corps, which includes wide receiver Rishard Matthews and tight end Delanie Walker, provided him with confidence on every play, including deep routes downfield.They make it easy on me, Mariota told reporters at the Titans practice facility this week. If I get it to a spot, I know those guys will go get it.Murray also has proved to be dependable in his first season with the Titans. The 28 year old is second in the NFL with 1,000 rushing yards and has punched in 11 touchdowns (eight rushing, three receiving). He has scored at least one touchdown in six straight games.The duo of Mariota and Murray could challenge a Bears defense that is reeling from another round of injuries and suspensions. Rookie linebacker Leonard Floyd -- Chicagos first-round pick in 2016 -- will miss the game becauuse of a concussion after he was carted off the field last week.dddddddddddd The teams leading tackler, linebacker Jerrell Freeman, also will be out after he received a four-game suspension this week for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing drugs.Freemans absence in the middle of the defense will create more playing time for rookie linebacker Nick Kwiatkowski, a fourth-round pick out of West Virginia.On offense, the Bears appear to be in even worse shape. Cutler injured his right shoulder last week against the New York Giants and likely will be sidelined for at least one game, if not more. The Bears already are without Pro-Bowl guard Kyle Long (ankle) and Pro-Bowl wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who will serve the second game of a four-game suspension for PED use.Bears head coach John Fox said Wednesday that Barkley would start at quarterback if Cutler cannot play. David Fales, a San Jose State product who rejoined the team this week, would be the No. 2 option.Barkley, 26, is four years removed from his playing days with the USC Trojans. He has appeared in five NFL games as a backup, throwing for zero touchdowns and six interceptions.Fox said the numbers did not tell the entire story. He said he liked Barkleys poise Oct. 20 against Green Bay as he came off the bench to complete 6-of-15 passes for 81 yards and two interceptions.These guys are on the team for a reason, Fox said. Matt has been in big spots. He wont blink. He didnt blink -- not being very experienced with us -- in Lambeau.Its not going to be too big for him. Hes been in big games. He understands what it is to be a good teammate, and hell do everything he can to be as prepared as he can.Barkley will have plenty for which to prepare.Tennessee boasts a dynamic pass rush that includes linebackers Brian Orakpo (nine sacks) and Derrick Morgan (eight sacks). Both players are vying to become the first Titans defender with double-digit sacks in a season since Jurrell Casey registered 10.5 sacks in 2013.Overall, the Titans rank No. 8 in the NFL in scoring (25.5 points per game), but are No. 23 in the league with an average of 25 points allowed. The Bears rank second-to-last in scoring (15.7 points per game) and are No. 19 in the league with an average of 23.7 points allowed. ' ' '
