ASHBURN, Va. -- Running back Matt Jones is listed as questionable but expects to play for the Washington Redskins in their season opener Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Jones is almost fully healed after separating his left shoulder Aug. 19 and is confident hell be 100 percent by game time. He has been a full participant in practice but was considered questionable because the NFL removed the probable distinction beginning this season.Im going to play, Jones said Friday. I dont feel like its like see how I hold up or (anything) like that. Just get hit, OK, Im going to get back up.Washington will rotate Jones, rookie Robert Kelley and third-down back Chris Thompson, but the second-year pro will shoulder the majority of the load. As Jones discussed his teammates getting plenty of carries, too, Kelley shook his head and pointed at him.Offensive coordinator Sean McVay said the team hopes Jones stays healthy through the game but has a plan to split the work. Jones will start, and thatll be the next test for him to tolerate the pain of getting hit.You like his toughness and I think he can play through a little soreness, which a lot of running backs do in the National Football League, coach Jay Gruden said. Its just a way of life. When you sign up to play running back in the National Football League, youre going to be a little sore, and he will be throughout the season and hes tough enough to deal with it.Jones conceded missing the final two preseason games to get his shoulder ready for when it matters. But after his rookie season ended with a hip injury, the 23-year-old didnt want to miss more games, especially now that he has replaced Alfred Morris as the feature back.So the Florida product took some contact at practice during the week and is mentally and physically ready for even more from the Steelers.Its just football, Jones said. Im going to just run my route, however I get it I just get it, and take it as far as like that. If I do feel it, Ive just got to fight through it.The Redskins have only three running backs on the roster, so they seemed confident that Jones wont be bothered by the sore shoulder in the coming weeks. But Kelley -- undrafted out of Tulane -- stood out so much during training camp and the preseason that hes not a bad fallback plan in case Jones is hurt.---AP Sports Writer Will Graves in Pittsburgh contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Senators Jerseys China . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Forget any budding quarterback controversy in Denver. What the Broncos have on their hands is a bona fide running back predicament.C.J. Anderson still has never rushed for 100 yards before Halloween and rookie Devontae Booker is earning more playing time now that he has a firmer grasp of the playbook, is better at blitz pickup and sparked the sputtering offense with 46 yards on five carries last week.Hes got juice, quarterback Trevor Siemian said. You saw that when he came in. I think just him understanding protections, hes coming along with the playbook, and getting those reps in game, I think its invaluable. I see him getting better and growing and getting more comfortable.Coach Gary Kubiak said Booker deserves more carries.Should I be worried? Anderson asked a reporter who wondered whether he was feeling the heat.Im fine. No pressure at all. Were glad Book is coming along, Anderson said. We all know that Book is a special guy and a special player. We know that he can make plays. Hes going to have that opportunity, hes going to have a lot more opportunities to make plays, which is great. Theres nothing wrong in the National Football League when two running backs can make plays. Im actually happy that hes coming along, Ive been helping him through the whole way. Im just glad hes here.The Broncos ground game has been stuck in neutral for more than a month.After rumbling for 148 yards in their opener against Carolina and 134 in Week 2 against the Colts, the Broncos (4-2) have seen their totals dip to 52 against Cincinnati, 89 against Tampa Bay and 84 against Atlanta and San Diego, both losses.Andersons totals have gone like this: 92, 74, 37, 49, 41, 37.Its never just the running backs fault. Theres shuffling and scuffling along the O-line and calls by the coaches that could have been different.It definitely hasnt been where we want it to be, but Im just excited. Im excited to have another opportunity with my guys out there, definitely get some continuity back on the line, he said. Everybody is gelling with me, too. I kind of told myself, `No matter what it looks like this week, as a playmaker, Ive got to make plays.Theres a reasonn for Andersons solace: hes always had strong second halves.dddddddddddd Hes led the league in all-purpose yards after Week 8 in each of the last two seasons.Andersons best plays against San Diego came after Booker broke off some big runs, but his two best ones didnt count. His 15-yard rumble to the 15 was negated by a debatable holding call on center Matt Paradis late in the third quarter and that preceded a missed field goal attempt.Then, in the frenetic fourth quarter, Anderson caught a short pass from Siemian and slipped several tackles on his way to a 20-yard touchdown that was reminiscent of his catch-and-run touchdown against Oakland in 2014 that ignited a second-half surge that landed him in the Pro Bowl.Only, this one was nullified by left tackle Russell Okungs holding penalty. Backed up to the 30, Siemian was sacked at the 40 and then Demaryius Thomas coughed up the football with 3:35 left, all but quashing the comeback in Denvers 21-13 defeat .Sooner or later, one of those is going to count, Anderson said. Its not like its going to be holding all day.The Broncos game Monday night against Houston could be just the elixir because the Texans (4-2) rank 29th in the league against the run.Theyre not complicated with their running game, Texans defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel said. They do what they do, but because they do what they do, theyve seen every kind of front, every kind of adjustment that you can make to it and theyve got a good group of guys playing the positions.That now includes a bigger dose of Booker.Game notes LT Russell Okung (concussion) returned to practice and took most of the snaps, Kubiak said. WR/KR Cody Latimer (concussion) still hasnt returned to practice. Both he and Okung were hurt Oct. 13 at San Diego. ... Kubiak said hes hoping OLB DeMarcus Ware (forearm) will return to the practice field this weekend.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
