SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz have traded center Tibor Pleiss to the Philadelphia 76ers for guard Kendall Marshall in a cost-cutting move. The Jazz announced the deal Friday morning and then waived Marshall.Two second-round picks were also sent to the 76ers.Marshall was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2012 draft but spent four seasons with four teams. His 2016-17 salary of just more than $2 million would have become fully guaranteed on Sept. 1, according to Spotrac.com.Pleiss became expendable after the Jazz traded for Boris Diaw in July and signed 2016 second-round pick Joel Bolomboy this week. The 7-foot-3, 256-pound center was the No. 31 pick in the 2010 draft and played 12 NBA games as a rookie last season.Rickey Henderson Jersey .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre.

Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day.

Sam Gaviglio Jersey . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- When Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler took snaps in practice Wednesday, he saw a handful of unfamiliar jersey numbers on the offensive linemen blocking for him.This is nothing unusual for the Bears in a preseason marred by injuries, but losing Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long for any amount of time is an obstacle.Long remains out with a shoulder injury and coach John Fox isnt giving out details about its severity.When he plays, hes going to play, Cutler said. Until then, weve got a good crew out there. Hell get back out there whenever hes ready to get back out there.Hes still in the building. Hes still in meetings, still at practice, so his voice can be heard.Cutler said it will be difficult for Long missing time.Just the way he carries himself through this transition that hes in now is going to speak volumes about him, Cutler said. Hes going to do it the right way.An offensive line that included center Cornelius Edison, regular center Ted Larsen at right guard and Garry Williams at right tackle is not quite what the Bears had in mind when camp started, but thats who is blocking for Cutler heading into Saturdays home preseason game with Kansas City.We had a lot of guys coming in and out, Cutler said. I think through training camp we saw a lot of different faces coming in and out of the huddleSo I think the comfort level kind of grew a lot with a lot of guys. So itll be a test. Its preseason. Its a good time to do these things.Williams, who signed Aug. 4, played in 41 games for Carolina from 2009-2014. Edison was a practice squad player who moved up the depth chart when the Bears lost starting center Hroniss Grasu to a torn ACLL in early August.ddddddddddddLarsen had to move from center to Longs spot while right tackle Bobby Massie sat out Wednesday with the flu, which caused five other Bears to miss work.Cutler said theres no doubt Longs absence creates a gap.Youre missing that big guy that can lock down the three-technique (defensive tackle), Cutler said. Whenever hes in there, you know that side is pretty much going to be void. You dont really have to worry about that. Youre going to have room to step up.Hes been a three-time Pro Bowler. Hes a heck of player for good reason. Well miss him this week, and hopefully well get him back soon.Playing rookie Cody Whitehair at starting left guard seemed a risk heading into training camp. Instead, with all the injuries on the Bears line, the second-round draft pick so far seems steady.Whitehair has also been comfortable lining up at center with backups in preseason games.We plugged him in as a starter fairly early, Fox said. Weve had two live football games, not regular season but preseason. Hes played multiple positions.His football IQ is very high. How fast hes adapted to the pro game has been pretty impressive.Game notesStarting running back Jeremy Langford returned to practice Wednesday after sitting out since Thursdays preseason loss in New England because of a foot injury. ... Defensive end Jonathan Bullard missed his third straight practice for what Fox called personal reasons, but is expected back at practice Thursday.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
