SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Carolina coach Ron Rivera said linebacker Jon Beason has restructured his contract, helping the Panthers free up salary cap space this year. "He did, and believe me its greatly appreciated," Rivera said. Its unclear how much salary cap space the move creates for the Panthers or if theyll use the money to sign another free agent. Rivera said the team has spoken with at least two free agents -- offensive lineman Travelle Wharton and safety Quintin Mikell -- but have not signed either player. Beason was going to earn $5.25 million this year, $6.5 million in 2014, $7.5 million in 2015 and $8.75 million in 2016. Beason went to three Pro Bowls in his first four seasons in the league with Carolina and didnt miss a game during that span. However, injuries have intervened forcing him to miss 26 of the past 32 games. "You do what you can do to help out the team," Beason said of restructuring his deal. Beason is the latest in a long line of high-profile Panthers to restructure his contract this off-season. Among the others whove already reworked their deals or taken pay cuts include running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, tight end Greg Olsen, and offensive linemen Jordan Gross and Ryan Kalil. The Panthers started the off-season more than $16 million over the salary cap. "Other guys have done it this off-season and its something that was anticipated," Beason said. Beason wont be on the field when the Panthers open training camp practice Friday night. Hes still recovering from microfracture surgery on his right knee. "Its something Ill have to manage going through the season," Beason said. "Im going to have good days and bad days. ... Gradually it gets to the point where its not an issue anymore." Beason said its possible he could sit out training camp so he can ready for the Sept. 8 regular season home opener against the Seattle Seahawks. "I think thats quite possible," Beason said. "Its a big stepping stone what we do down here at camp. But for veteran guys like me its about what (being ready) in week one." China Womens College Jerseys .

EVANSTON, Ill. -- After losing to a Mid-American Conference opponent to open the season, then an FCS school in week two, Northwestern got on the right track by beating a Power Five school.Clayton Thorson threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, Justin Jackson rushed for 94 yards and Northwestern defeated Duke 24-13 on Saturday night.Northwestern avoided losing its first three games to start the season, something it hasnt done since 1992. They suffered losses to MAC-favorite Western Michigan and FCS-power Illinois State.I think I saw a bunch of guys that celebrated their rear ends off, said Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald. I think it just shows if you have perseverance and grit and you stay the course that you can do whatever you set your mind to.After being held to 7 points by Illinois State last week, Northwestern (1-2) scored on the games opening drive. Thorson connected with Garrett Dickerson for a 26-yard touchdown reception, capping a 10-play, 75-yard drive.I think it meant a lot. It was just the first drive of the game and it was Garretts first touchdown catch, so that was huge, and it was fun for us, said Thorson. When we get into that situation we have to capitalize more when we get down there.Northwestern capitalized on Blue Devils punter Austin Parkers gaffe in the third quarter to take a 14-7 lead. Duke (1-2) was lined up to punt, Parker dropped the snapped and wasnt able to get the punt away. Northwestern took over at the Duke 44. On the next play, Thorson found Solomon Vault wide open in the middle of the field for the go-ahead touchdown.We have shown flashes -- which is not what you want in game three -- of at times being a really good football team. We have shown flashes, unfortunately, of doing things bad football teams do. We are consistently inconsistent, said Duke coach David Cutcliffe.Thorson also connected with former walk-on Austin Carr on a 58-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.Dukes Daniel Jones threw for 279 yards with one interception. Jela Duncan had 53 yards rushing and a touchdown.I felt like we were prepared going in and knew what they were trying to do. Its all abouut execution from there, said Jones.ddddddddddddByron Fields picked off Thorsons pass at the 1, setting up a 99-yard, 12-play drive to tie the game at 7 with 3:03 left in the second quarter. The drive was highlighted by Shaun Wilsons 39-yard catch from Jones.Thorson was hurried or on his back for most of the game. Duke was throwing a number of blitz packages at the Northwestern offensive line, which they werent able to pick up.He saw every pressure that I think he will see in his career, said Fitzgerald. Hes won 11 games as a starter, and I think he hung in there pretty well with the amount of time he got.TAKEAWAYDuke: The Blue Devils failed to finish on multiple drives. Late in first quarter on fourth-down and 10 at the Wildcats 38, it looked as if Duke was going to convert on a fake punt, but Erich Schneider, who was wide open in the middle of the field, slipped on the grass and fell before he had a chance to catch Parkers pass. Jones threw a pick to Godwin Igwebuike at the Northwestern 22 at the end of the first quarter and AJ Reed missed a 48 yard field goal attempt early in the fourth quarter.We shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times and it really hurt us in the end, said safety DeVon Edwards.Northwestern: Despite Thorson getting sacked five times, Northwestern showed some life on offense. The opening scoring drive featured Jackson, and then Thorson was able to open it up in the air in the second half.GETTING DEFENSIVEFitzgerald backed his coaching staff after his staff received criticism with losses to Western Michigan and Illinois State. Im very happy for our staff. Its the all-time winningest staff in Northwestern history. We had a couple tough losses and some people are going to take shots at them and I think they shut off the noise pretty well, said Fitzgerald.UP NEXTDuke: The Blue Devils visit struggling Notre Dame on Saturday.Northwestern: The Wildcats season-opening four-game home stand continues Saturday night against Nebraska, which beat Oregon on Saturday.
