TOPEKA http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-jahlani-tavai-jersey , Kan. (AP) — Washburn University’s joy over one of its own going to the pros quickly shifted to grief this weekend after a shooting killed a current Washburn football player and wounded the former member of the team who was drafted by the New York Giants just hours earlier.Police in Topeka, Kansas, where the university is located, said officers found 23-year-old defensive back Dwane Simmons dead when they investigated gunshots shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday. Cornerback Corey Ballentine was wounded, but his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. Ballentine, also 23, grew up in Topeka and was picked by the Giants on Saturday in the sixth round of the NFL draft.A preliminary investigation determined that the shooting occurred during a social gathering outside a residence Will Harris Jersey , Topeka police spokeswoman Gretchen Koenen said in an email Sunday evening. She said dozens of people were at the gathering and police were working to gather evidence and witness statements.“We want to emphasize that we need those who were present to let us know what they saw,” Koenen said.Washburn president Jerry Farley said, “This was a terrible way to end a day which should have been a day of celebration and a day to look forward to Dwane’s upcoming year at Washburn and the beginning of Corey’s professional career.”Washburn coach Craig Schurig said Simmons’ death is heartbreaking. He said Simmons, a junior from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, maintained a great attitude even while battling through two knee injuries.“Dwane is one of the most energetic and well-liked players I have ever coached at Washburn,” Schurig said. “Dwane’s infectious smile and love for football and his teammates was truly inspirational.”Farley said both Simmons and Ballentine have been great representatives of the university.It’s not yet clear how Ballentine’s injuries from the shooting might affect his football career.In a statement Sunday http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-austin-bryant-jersey , the Giants said, “We are aware of the tragic situation and continue to gather information. We have spoken to Corey, and he is recovering in the hospital. Our thoughts are with Dwane Simmons’ family, friends and teammates and the rest of the Washburn community.” NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Deshaun Watson is back and starting at quarterback. J.J. Watt also is running around on defense along with Whitney Mercilus.Health has yet to translate into victories for the Houston Texans.Watson threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns Sunday, but he made a mistake that absorbed the final 17 seconds in a 20-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans.Watson, who was making his eighth NFL start after missing the last part of his rookie season with a right knee injury Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , said he should have thrown the ball away instead of running around looking for a receiver. He found DeAndre Hopkins for a 31-yard completion to the Tennessee 21, but time expired before the Texans could run another play.“I tried to take a shot,” Watson said. “We didn’t have any timeouts, and they guarded the sideline very well, so my instincts took over and I tried to get the ball and time ran out.”Coach Bill O’Brien said they were trying to get into field goal range.“We’ve got to do a better job of coaching that play up,” O’Brien said.Houston went 4-12 last season. Watson, Watt and Mercilus were among the 22 Texans on injured reserve by the end of the year.The Texans (0-2) lost right tackle Seantrel Henderson with a broken ankle after this season’s opener http://www.coltscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-ben-banogu-jersey , but they currently are healthier than they were for a big chunk of 2017.Slow starts hurt Houston in each of its first two games. New England led 21-6 at halftime in the opener, and Tennessee led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter thanks to a fake punt and a little wildcat to help make up for the absence of quarterback Marcus Mariota and its top three offensive tackles.“Can’t put my finger on it,” O’Brien said of the slow starts. “Hopefully, I’ll be able to figure it out soon, but that’s just not good enough.”Will Fuller V returned after missing the opener, and he caught eight passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. DeAndre Hopkins had 110 yards receiving and a TD. Lamar Miller averaged 4.9 yards a carry as Houston outgained Tennessee 437-283 in total offense.But one drive ended when Watson was intercepted in the end zone on a pass Adoree Jackson took away from DeAndre Hopkins. Ka’imi Fairbairn was short on a 54-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter.Against Tennessee, the Texans played without linebacker Jadeveon Clowney and defensive end Christian Covington because of injuries. The Titans started their backup quarterback in Blaine Gabbert and had Tyler Marz making his NFL debut at right tackle against Watt — the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.Houston sacked Gabbert only once while giving up four sacks of Watson. The Texans also managed only two hits on Gabbert.Watt credited the Titans with throwing quickly and using running backs and tight ends to help slow down the Texans’ pass rush. Watt finished with six tackles Parris Campbell Jersey , including two tackles for loss. He also forced a fumble.“They had a good game plan,” Watt said. “They knew that they had their guys out, so they had a game plan put together that they didn’t need to protect against a pass rush like ours. So you have to give them credit.”They head back to Houston and will host the New York Giants in their home opener.“Right now probably the flood gates are open, everybody has an opinion right now,” Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph said. “We just have to take it one game at a time. You get one win and all of a sudden everything starts to head in the other direction.”
