BEREA, Ohio - Josh Gordon cant do anything to change his past. He knows there are doubters who believe its just a matter of time before he slips up again.Gordon is looking forward. Straight ahead.The only thing I can control is what I do on the field, the Pro Bowler said. So thats what Im doing. I cant control the masses. Thats not my job.The Browns supremely talented wide receiver who easily outruns defensive backs but cant seem to steer clear of trouble returned to his job Wednesday, practicing for the first time since his 10-game suspension for repeated drug violations ended.The leagues leader in yards receiving last season — despite missing two games — Gordon has returned just in time to give Cleveland a much needed offensive jolt.Browns coach Mike Pettine plans to bring Gordon back slowly this week, but No. 12 expects to be on the field Sunday when they visit the Atlanta Falcons.Its great to be back, he said. Im very ready. Ive had a long time to get ready for it.Surrounded by cameras and reporters, Gordon was a bit nervous as he described the challenges of his long layoff. He was repentant, saying he knows his actions hurt the Browns but also his family.Theres a lot of people I feel I owe, he said. My family members, friends, people that felt more embarrassed about it. The people closest to me feel it harder than anybody and I feel as though I owe them as well as the Browns, but Id like to do that by performing well.In his first game back after serving a two-game suspension last season, Gordon caught 10 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown in a win over Minnesota.Gordon feels he can come in from the cold and deliver a similar performance this week against the Falcons (4-6).I definitely think I can, he said.Gordon showed some rustiness by dropping two passes during the portion of practice open to media members. But the sight of the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder, with his smooth stride and rare explosiveness off the line, had to be warming to quarterback Brian Hoyer and offensive co-ordinator Kyle Shanahan, who hasnt been able to include him in a game plan this season.Being out there with him today you can see hes excited to be out there, said Hoyer, who targeted Gordon 19 times in the game against the Vikings last season. He wants to be a part of the team.Pettine is downplaying how much Gordon will be used this week, but Falcons coach Mike Smith expects the Pro Bowler to have an immediate impact.Were anticipating seeing Josh Gordon out there on the very first play and seeing him out there for the majority of the plays in the ball game, Smith said on a conference call.Pettine cautioned that Gordon may not be ready — mentally or physically. The Browns intend to keep Gordon on a pitch count in practice and build up his reps as the week moves on.There needs to be a progression, Pettine said. The trap to fall into is, Hey, hes back and lets just go ahead and throw him out there for a bunch of plays. Theres certainly danger inherent in doing that and we have to be smart with how we do it.Gordon was on the cusp of superstardom last season, when he amassed 1,646 yards receiving and scored nine touchdowns. However, he failed another test for marijuana and wound up being punished by the league. Gordon was initially banned by the league for a year but had his suspension reduced in September.Gordon said he considered suing the league, but believes the penalty against him was fair.We came to a reasonable conclusion, he said. Both sides might not have gotten exactly what we both wanted, but we compromised and I think we worked it out just fine. Considering the rules and that prior rules were broken, they had every right to do exactly what they did.The time away made Gordon more patient and appreciative. Hes paid his price and doesnt want to let anyone down again.To do that, he must stay on the field.I just want to control what I can control, and thats playing my hardest and working my hardest, 16 weeks next season and these last six games this season, however long Im in Cleveland, he said. Thats just what I want to do.__AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLVirgil Green Jersey .

By beating the Highlanders 44-16 last Sunday, the Waratahs clinched first place on the overall table and afforded themselves the only sense of certainty belonging to any of the teams still involved in the playoffs race. They know that whatever happens this weekend, they will have a weeks rest before hosting a home semifinal. For every other team from the second-placed Crusaders to the ninth-placed Blues, who need events of almost miraculous proportions to reach the playoffs, almost nothing is assured. The last and most intriguing episode of the regular season has still to play out. For the Waratahs, with their fate already decided, Saturdays match against the 12th-placed Reds should be little more than an undemanding end to the regular season and a light prelude to their first semifinal in four years. But matches between New South Wales and Queensland, beginning in 1882, are invested with such a potent interstate rivalry, even antipathy, that the Waratahs cannot expect an easy time. Queensland, champions in 2011, have little to salvage from a season in which their performance has fallen well short of expectations, but a win over New South Wales would at least be a small consolation. Waratahs coach Michael Cheika has refused to name an under-strength lineup for the match to spare his frontline players for the semifinal. "You could (injure a player) at any time, in training or regular games," Cheika said. "This is a contact sport, you dont go into it worrying about things like that." In other matches in the final round, the Christchurch-based Crusaders will meet the Dunedin-based Highlanders in a contest for first place in the New Zealand conference. The Crusaders are currently in second place with 46 points and the Highlanders in fourth place with 42, needing a bonus point win to finish ahead of the Crusaders. A single bonus point would be enough to ensure the Crusaders top the New Zealand conference but they neeed a win, ideally a good one, to hold out the challenge of South Africas Sharks for second place and the other home semifinal.dddddddddddd The Sharks wrapped up the South African conference several weeks ago and are currently in third place overall, equal on points with the Crusaders, sharing the Crusaders tally of 10 wins and only eight points behind on points differential. The Durban-based Sharks face the Stormers in the final round -- a team to which they lost only two weeks ago -- and also need to win to enforce their challenge for second place. If both teams win and finish the regular season with 11 wins, points differential may decide which takes the preferred route through the playoffs. The Highlanders need to recover quickly from last weekends six-try mauling at the hands of the Waratahs to take their place in the playoffs for the first time in 12 years. That position isnt yet safe and they could be displaced, depending on the outcome of matches between the ACT Brumbies and the Western Force, the Blues and defending the champion Chiefs. All Blacks captain Richie McCaw has been ruled out of Saturdays match with a rib injury: a minor setback for the Crusaders who can finish no further back than fourth but who are determined to achieve a conference victory and second place. The Chiefs must beat the Blues in Auckland to have any chance of extending their two-year reign as Super Rugby champions. They enter the final round in eighth place and must also depend on the outcome of other matches to gain a top-six finish. The Blues must beat the Chiefs by a clear 38 points and with five tries to preserve their frail hope of a playoffs spot. The Brumbies, in sixth place, and Force, in seventh -- both with 40 points -- also meet in a must-win clash between playoffs hopefuls. The winner of Fridays match at Canberra will advance to the playoffs while the losers season is over. The most anxious role in the final round belongs to the Hurricanes who are currently fifth with 41 points but who have the bye and must allow the outcome of other matches determine whether their season continues.
