FLORHAM PARK, N. Wholesale NFL Jerseys .J. -- Braylon Edwards was sticking up for his former teammate, taking to Twitter to back Mark Sanchez and bash the team he once played for. Dont blame the quarterback for the New York Jets struggles, the wide receiver wrote last week. Rather, people should blame "the idiots calling shots" in the organization. A few hours later, Edwards was cut by the Seattle Seahawks -- and he quickly apologized to the Jets for a mistake made "in the heat of the moment," thinking he blew any chance of a return with his stinging 140-character criticism. "After the tweet, I was like, Yeah, I burned that bridge," Edwards said with a smile Thursday -- back as a member of the Jets with all apparently forgiven and forgotten. Edwards was claimed off waivers from Seattle on Tuesday, reuniting the veteran wide receiver with Sanchez and the team he helped lead to consecutive AFC title games in 2009 and 2010. "I felt as though," Edwards said, "this was home." But first, there was a potentially uncomfortable moment Wednesday when Edwards ran into general manager Mike Tannenbaum, someone who calls those "shots" for the Jets, in the teams cafeteria. "The relationship that we developed here is that were all kind of goofy among each other," Edwards said. "Everybody has a weird, funny or cool interaction. There actually wasnt a moment of awkwardness. ... I saw him and he was just as happy as me, or so it seemed. The awkwardness wasnt there." Edwards was a limited participant in his first practice Thursday with a hamstring issue, but passed his physical and coach Rex Ryan was optimistic about his chances to play Monday night at Tennessee. "Just based on the progression that I see, I hope I can go," Edwards said. Edwards presence certainly could help a low-scoring offence that has been dealing with a thin receiving corps all season. Rookie wide receiver Stephen Hill sprained the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee at Jacksonville on Sunday, and will likely miss the game against the Titans. With top receiver Santonio Holmes out for the season with a foot injury and Clyde Gates is still dealing with a concussion, that left only Jeremy Kerley, Chaz Schilens, journeyman Mardy Gilyard and rookie Jordan White as healthy players at the position. "Its great news," Sanchez said of Edwards return. "Its exciting to have somebody like that back. Were going to work him in slowly and hopefully get him ready to play." Edwards was released Monday from the Seahawks injury-reserve list after less than one unproductive season in Seattle. He had just eight catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in 10 games after signing a one-year deal in July. He spent last season in San Francisco, catching 15 passes for 181 yards in nine games with the 49ers. "I feel great and I wished I had the chance to show it more, and now I do," Edwards said. "I feel good. I feel like I have the same speed and I feel like I have the same strength, if not better, and I feel like I still have that same understanding of the game. "Im ready, and youll get a chance to see." Following the 2010 season, the Jets had to make the difficult choice of keeping either Holmes or Edwards since they wanted to have the money to be able to pursue other free agents to fill needs. New York considered Holmes the bigger playmaker and signed him to a five-year deal, while Edwards made it clear hed prefer to return to the Jets at the right price. That never came, and Edwards eventually signed with the 49ers. During the past off-season, Edwards tweeted regularly about his progress in his recovery from a knee injury that cut short his stint in San Francisco. But, the wide receiver still never heard from the Jets, who went out and drafted Hill -- a similar-type receiver -- out of Georgia Tech in the second round. "To not get a phone call or not get an invite to see what was going on," Edwards said, "thats when I mentally (thought), Well, its not going to happen. Lets move on and get myself prepared to play in another situation." So, he signed with Seattle and had a limited role there before tweaking his hamstring while running a route on Dec. 2 at Chicago. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told Seattle-area reporters Wednesday that the team thought Edwards would be sidelined another three weeks, so it decided to move on. "I dont think Pete has an M.D.," Edwards said with a laugh. "Im just joking. That was what they thought. That was his opinion and everybody is entitled to their (opinion). The Jets have a different opinion." The 29-year-old Edwards, who had no catches against the Jets in Seattle back on Nov. 11, is still a terrific blocker. And he is a good fit for Tony Sparanos run-first offence. He also has a good history with Sanchez, catching 88 passes for 11 touchdowns in two seasons with the Jets. The two also linked up for an 80-yard reception, the longest in the teams post-season history, against Indianapolis in the 2009 playoffs. "Hes one of those guys that knows how to run routes," Sanchez said. "Hes played for a long time, understands coverages and picks up things quickly. Were excited to have him back," Edwards has also been a personal favourite of Ryan, who routinely praised the receiver during his first stint in New York. "I was happy to see him, despite the obvious comment," Ryan said with a smile, before adding later: "He knows what Ive always thought about Braylon. Ive always been a big fan of Braylons because I like the way he plays. So I think that comment, please. ... Theres things privately where Ive been called a lot worse from players."

"When he came into training camp in Calgary he did have some lingering lower back pain, but nothing that wasnt manageable," said head coach Steve Spott. ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders have been struggling to run the ball with a healthy Darren McFadden for most of this season. Now that McFadden and backup Mike Goodson are both dealing with high ankle sprains that put their status in doubt for this week, the Raiders could have even more concerns. Coach Dennis Allen said X-rays and an MRI on McFadden came back negative and Goodson was undergoing an MRI on Monday. He said the team would have to see how both players respond and he would not rule them out yet for when the Raiders (3-5) play in Baltimore against the Ravens (6-2) on Sunday. McFadden hurt his right ankle on the first or second carry of the game and tried to play through it before leaving for good just before halftime. McFadden had just seven carries for 17 yards and caught two passes for no yards in the loss. "Darren wanted to be back out there, so that wasnt a case where you risk any further injury," Allen said. "Darren is a competitor, he wanted to be back out there, so we put him back out there. Then came in at halftime, he just wasnt going to be able to do it, so we kept him out the rest of the game." McFadden was one of the most dynamic backs in the league the past two seasons when healthy. But he missed 19 games over his first four seasons -- including nine last season -- with foot, toe, shoulder, knee and hamstring injuries. While he has been healthy so far this year, he has been far from effective, rushing for just 455 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. His 3.3 yards per carry average is sixth-worst in the league and the lowest for a Raiders player since Pete Banaszaks 3.2 average in 1976. Goodson has shown flashes at tailback with 111 yards on 17 carries and 14 catches for 173 yards but might not be able to go. That leaves Taiwan Jones as the only healthy halfback on the roster. Jones has one carry and one reception all season and has been limited by injuries and ball-security issues. "Thats obviously something that hes got to improve on," Allen said. "Hes got to make sure that he can protect the football and hes got to make sure that he understands what his assignments are. As we get more comfortable with those things, hell earn more playing time." Allen said the team would look at bringing in a running back this week as insurance. The Raiders also coulld give more time to versatile fullback Marcel Reece, who had eight catches for 95 yards and a touchdown Sunday. Wholesale NFL Jerseys Free Shipping. Seven of those catches came after McFadden got hurt. He also has 48 rushes for 234 yards in his career. "Obviously with the health of our backs right now, he becomes more of an option there at the tailback position, but Marcel, hes provided some options for us," Allen said. "Weve used him in a lot of different ways. Now every week he doesnt catch the ball for 100 yards or rush for a 100 yards, but hes very much a part of our offence and vital to our offence. Along with possibly signing a running back, the Raiders have roster decisions to make on injured cornerback Ron Bartell and linebacker Aaron Curry. Bartell has been on short-term injured reserve since breaking his left shoulder blade in the season opener. He practiced all last week and would be eligible to play against the Ravens if the Raiders decide to activate him. "Its tough to get back," Bartell said. "But I definitely feel a lot better, a lot more confident. Ive got another week to get prepared, and thats what I plan on doing and well make that decision on Saturday." The Raiders have to make a decision on Curry even sooner. He has been on the physically unable to perform list all season with injured knees. If he is not activated before Wednesdays practice, he would either have to be cut or placed on season-ending injured reserve. Also, defensive tackle Desmond Bryant was resting at home Monday after spending the night the hospital with an irregular heartbeat. He did not play in the second half and will need to undergo further tests before he is able to resume practicing. NOTES: S Matt Giordano, who left Sundays game with a hamstring injury, wanted to return but was held out as a precaution. ... Injured CB Shawntae Spencer (right foot) will run on the field Tuesday to see how he is progressing and could practice Wednesday. ... RT Khalif Barnes (groin) will be back at practice Wednesday for the first time since Week 2 and Allen said the staff has discussed starting rookie Tony Bergstrom at right tackle in place of the struggling Willie Smith. ...
