Warren Gatland believes George North must put his long-term health before chasing a quick return to rugby, as investigations into his latest concussion scare continue.British and Irish Lions boss Gatland insisted Wales wing North will not be under any pressure for a quick playing return, after appearing to be knocked out during Northamptons Premiership defeat at Leicester on Saturday.Premiership Rugby and the Rugby Football Union (RFU) are investigating how North was allowed to return to Saturdays match following a Head Injury Assessment (HIA). Northampton have stood North down pending further neurological tests, but insist the 24-year-old did not fall unconscious and have since said they did not have pitchside access to all camera angles of Saturdays incident.I promise you, there will be no pressure from me in terms of getting on the field quickly, said Wales and Lions boss Gatland, of Norths well-being. His health is the most important thing, not just in the short term but long term - theres quite a bit of evidence to show that there is potentially long-term effects for people who have taken a number of knocks in contact sport.He needs to consider that, to see specialists about that to show that he is 100 per cent right. Rugby is secondary, his health is the most important thing.North was out of action for five months after suffering four blows to the head in five months between November 2014 and March 2015. The Lions wing fell heavily after a challenge from Leicester wing Adam Thompstone in Northamptons 19-11 Premiership defeat at Welford Road on Saturday.North returned to the match following head-injury checks, leading to controversy after the television footage suggested to indicate he had been knocked out. While the Premierships governing body continue their investigation into the incident, Lions coach Gatland has insisted Norths welfare must remain paramount.I absolutely understand its concerning, hes had a few knocks in the past and you want to make sure they go through the right process to make sure that if he does play again, he is fully fit and recovered.And if he does pick up knocks in the future, it needs to be dealt with and he needs to potentially consider what is the best process for him to go through.He has stepped down in the past for a lengthy amount of time, and if he does need that again, its something people better qualified than me need to consider.I find it a bit strange; he passed the HIA. That is a bit confusing.Ive just seen the clip and heard that hes been stood down. If thats for safety reasons, just to make sure hes right, its the best scenario - to make sure theres no risk to his health.Thats the most important thing, long-term, his health. Weve made comments before - definitely he needs to put himself first, his long-term health.Northampton say they didnt see the clip, and he passed the HIA test - so from a coaching point of view, you assume the process has been followed.Daniel Jones Youth Jersey .

Eli Manning Youth Jersey .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop.

Spain started the final six games for the Titans last season and has been running with the first-team line in camp.Contrast that with the Titans other four projected starting linemen. Tennessees line includes two first-round picks at the tackle spots in Taylor Lewan (2014) and Jack Conklin (2016), a first-rounder at right guard in Chance Warmack (2013) and a coveted free-agent acquisition at center in Ben Jones.Spain is doing all he can to maintain his role as a starter.I felt like Ive done pretty good, Spain said. Ive just got to keep moving forward and keep battling for the spot.In assessing Spains play through the first week of training camp, Titans coach Mike Mularkey offered some praise while also stressing Spains need for improvement.Hes been a little bit hot-and-cold, Mularkey said. More hot than cold, but when hes had his mistakes, theyve been pretty significant. I mean, they stand out. Not getting out on some screens, not covering up guys today.Again, he was an undrafted free agent last year that -- hes held his own, but the more he gets, the better hes going to get, as well. Hes still in a competition at that left guard position.Spains primary competition should come from former starting center Brian Schwenke, Jeremiah Poutasi and rookie sixth-rround pick Sebastian Tretola.dddddddddddd. The competition to determine the starting offensive line begins in earnest in the next couple of days.The Titans have intentionally stuck with the same starters up to this point because they were still putting in offensive installations.That process is near an end, allowing offensive line coach Russ Grimm to start playing a form of musical chairs to determine the eventual starters.Were going to start rolling some people in there, Grimm said. I tell people all the time were not playing a game for real yet. So there are no set starters. So when you come out and you start stepping through stuff, you kind of keep guys at the same spot till we get the whole offense.As of tomorrow, the whole offense is going to be in, so now youre going to see guys that know the assignment so they can flip from one side to the other.I dont want to flip them too early because they start getting confused and stuff like that. Once they learn the offense and now that weve got it all in, then were going to start shuffling some people around to see what weve got.As for how things fall, Spain isnt fretting the competition.Ive just got to play my game, and whatever happens, happens, Spain said. If playing my game is not enough, I cant look back and say I didnt give it my all.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
