CALGARY - Stampeder running back Jon Cornish is ready to rumble again. The CFLs most valuable player and leading rusher last season has been out of Calgarys lineup with concussion symptoms since the first game of the season. The Stampeders have Tuesday off and Cornish says hell be back to full practice Wednesday. He says he intends to play Sunday in Ottawa against the Redblacks. Cornish was hit hard by Montreal Alouettes linebacker Kyries Hebert on June 28. Cornish was knocked out and an ambulance was summoned onto the field, but the Stampeder tailback got up and walked to the clubhouse on his own. "Ive been ready to play for about two weeks now," Cornish said Monday. "The concussion wasnt that bad, but all things considered, it was good that I had lots of time." The Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos are tied for the league and West Division lead at 6-1. Cornish was placed on the six-game injured list July 23, which made the 29-year-old from New Westminster, B.C., eligible to return Sept. 6. Clubs can pull players off the injured list early, however, which means their salaries start counting against the salary cap again. Stampeder head coach and general manager John Hufnagel was less forthcoming about the possibility of Cornish playing Sunday, but Hufnagel indicated both Cornish and Canadian running back Matt Walter will practise Wednesday. Walter, 25, hasnt played since the first quarter of a July 24 game in Edmonton. The Calgarian was also out with concussion symptoms. Both Cornish and Walter participated in Mondays rundown following Calgarys 30-20 victory in Hamilton on Saturday. Hebert was fined half his game cheque — the maximum fine allowed under the new collective bargaining agreement — for the hit on Cornish in the fourth quarter of the season-opener. Despite getting knocked out, Cornish was talkative and jovial with reporters in the locker-room following that game. But he didnt feel right after returning from the Stampeders subsequent bye week. "The problem was my cognitive symptoms were very, very minor and they were gone quickly. But since I still had the headache . . . I had pretty bad whiplash, so thats where most of it came from," he explained. "It was trying to force myself to get back on the field was the biggest thing. We didnt have my neck properly diagnosed so I wasnt running right and it was causing me problems. Once we got all that figured out, it was actually really, really simple." Cornish says once he went on the six-game injured list and stopped pushing to get back on the field, his recovery was rapid. But CFL concussion protocols do not allow players back on the field if they have any concussion symptoms. Without football or his off-season job as a bank teller, Cornish was in the unfamiliar position of having time on his hands. "Im itching to work," he said. "I havent worked at the bank for, including training camp, almost three months. I havent played a football game for seven weeks, so yeah, I havent really been doing much. "I like to think of myself as a hard worker. Without anything to work hard at, its not as fun." Cornish won a second consecutive rushing title in 2013 with 1,813 yards, which was the fourth-highest in CFL history. He also led the league and set a new Stampeder record with 2,157 yards from scrimmage. The absence of two Canadian tailbacks created both a revolving door at that position and a juggling act for Hufnagel with his ratio of international and non-international players. Regular returner Jock Sanders was pressed into running back duties. Martell Mallett rushed for 116 yards in a 25-24 loss to the B.C. Lions on Aug. 8 in his first CFL game in five years. With Mallett sidelined by a groin injury and Sanders day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Hugh Charles ran for 102 yards in Hamilton in his first game as a Stampeder. The Stampeders added the veteran Charles to the practice roster July 28 after his release from the Saskatchewan Roughriders. "I know the situation around here," Charles said. "We have a lot of banged-up vets. Cornish is close to coming back. I wanted to make the most of it. Knowing that I am in the coachs back pocket if need be, whatever happens is going to happen." The return of non-internationals Cornish and Walter could be good for veteran slotback Nik Lewis, who was a healthy scratch for two games because of ratio issues. Mallett, the CFLs rookie of the year in 2009 when he was a B.C. Lion, has been placed on the six-game injured list. Hufnagel said receiver Jeff Fuller (shoulder) and defensive lineman Micah Johnson (knee) are not expected to play Sunday. Texas Rangers Gear .

Fake Rangers Jerseys . - Chris Davis hit a two-run double, scoring Nelson Cruz in his Orioles debut in Baltimores 9-7 win over to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.Stuart Broad is in line to become the 14th English player to appear in 100 Tests for England, should he return to the team for the first match of the India tour, on Wednesday in Rajkot. Broad was just a fresh faced 21-year-old when he made his debut at a sultry Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo, wheeling through nearly 29 overs and being in the field for 146.5, before claiming his first scalp of Chaminda Vaas, on the hook and edging to Ian Bell in the slips.Three hundred and fifty nine more dismissals have followed, moving him to within 23 of Sir Ian Botham in second place in the all-time list of England bowlers, behind James Anderson. But it certainly says something about Broads longevity in the England team is that he is just the third bowler of Englands 14 players to reach the 100th Test landmark, pointing to the patience of the selectors to allow him to flourish.It has been alongside Anderson that Broad has been most potent. He has played 89 of his 99 Tests with the Lancastrian and he has an average of 3.6 wickets per match, the same as his much vaunted colleague through his career. Nasser Hussain labels Stuart Broad an England great Broads record on home soil is where his dominance lays - 232 wickets at just 26.54, with 11 of his 15 five-wicket hauls having come at home, and a strike-rate of 51.67.His statistics away from home are indifferent, both with ball and bat. He has 128 wickets at 32.01 on foreign soil at a strike-rate of 66.22, while he has just one half-century in 63 innings with the bat, averaging 15.58.But it should not be forgotten that Broad is one of just four players in Test history to record two hat-tricks, and the only Englishman. Stuart Broad celebrates his first of two hat-tricks in Test cricket, against India in 2011 Australian off-spinner Hugh Trumble was the first, both against England at Melbourne two years apart, while legspinner Jimmy Matthews achieved the feat in the same game at Old Trafford in 1912, for Australia against South Africa.It was 87 years before it happened again when Wasim Akram claimed a pair of hat-tricks in back-to-back games against Sri Lanka in 1999, and then Broad joined the party with his sensational double.The first, in the midst of a spell of five wickets for five runs in 31 balls against India at Trent Bridge in 2011 sent England on their way to a 319-run victory, while his second, against Sri Lanka at Headingley in 2014 which was spread across two overs, he didnt even know about!Of course, many England followers will remember his incredible feats with the ball - who can forget his demolition of South Africa at Lords in 2012, smashing New Zealand with 7-44 at Lords in 2013 and easing England to an Ashes victory at Durham later that year.ddddddddddddAnd then there was his destruction of Australia again in 2015, on his home ground of Trent Bridge, when he took 8-15 to remove the tourists before lunch - sensational stuff! Stuart Broad celebrates Ben Stokes amazing catch during his 8-15 against Australia at Trent Bridge It is not all just in England that Broad has set the world alight though. His 6-17 at Johannesburg to cut the top off South Africas order as they were bundled out for 83 last winter was his career-best on the road.It is those superb individual performances that has seen him collect nine man-of-the-match awards, a record only surpassed by Sir Ian Botham (12) and Kevin Pietersen (10).But none of those awards came until his real breakthrough series against India in 2011. His 34 Tests prior to the start of 2011 saw him average 27.40 with the bat (including his career-best 169 against Pakistan at Lords) and 35.24 with the ball, with 99 wickets.Twenty-five wickets at 13.84 came in that India series and since, you can see the huge boost in his confidence - 261 wickets at 25.92 in his 65 Tests from 2011 onwards is testimony to that. Only in 2012 did his yearly average climb above 30 again.Broads record against some of the best players in the world shows that not only does he love the big occasion but he loves the big moments too. Auastralias Michael Clarke has fallen victim to Stuart Broad the most often in Test cricket Just ask former Australian captain Michael Clarke, who Broad removed 11 times at an average of just 23.81, while AB de Villiers has fallen 10 times to Broad, averaging only 16.30 against him.Ross Taylor (nine), Chris Rogers and Shane Watson (eight), and Hashim Amla (seven) are other to have suffered the wrath of the world No 5 ranked Test bowler, who did climb to No 1 earlier in 2016.So congratulations to Stuart Broad, a talisman of line and length and the unrivalled king of the DRS review - Englands 14th to 100 Tests, Test crickets 65th, and the 16th bowler with over 200 wickets.That is quite a club to be in!England take on India in the first Test of their five-match tour, in Rajkot, from 3.30am this Wednesday on Sky Sports 2.
