FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Tim Tebow might not be done in the wildcat after all. New York Jets coach Rex Ryan reversed his decision Friday, saying the backup quarterback could possibly participate in the wildcat-style offence and on special teams as the personal punt protector at Tennessee on Monday night. On Thursday, Ryan said Tebow would be the backup to Mark Sanchez, but only in the conventional offence as he continues to recover from two broken ribs. "He moved around great," Ryan said of Tebows practice performance Thursday. "This is the best hes looked in several weeks, so well see. There could be a chance he does the wildcat. He moved around that good that we may get him back in similar roles." Tebow was full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, a sign he is getting closer to being fully healed after being injured at Seattle on Nov. 11. Of course, the sudden shift in thinking after one non-tackling practice could merely be an example of gamesmanship, trying to confuse the Titans. Tebow has not played in the last three games. "Im getting better every day," Tebow said. "Im trying to go out there and push it and try to do well." Tebow said he has practiced running the wildcat "about the same as any week" and will wear a flak jacket to protect his ribs if he plays. Ryan acknowledged Friday that it might be tough to truly determine how ready Tebow is for contact if he hasnt had any in nearly a month. "Theres no doubt, thats true, but looking at the way hes throwing the football and the way hes moving — before, it was kind of like, you could almost tell he wasnt real sure. Now I cant see a visible difference from the start of the year to right now. "If he continues to look like this and even improve, then maybe we can have him in a similar role." Added Tebow: "Ill be ready for that first hit." Titans coach Mike Munchak thought New York-area reporters were joking with him when they told him on a conference call Thursday that Ryan said Tebow wouldnt play in the wildcat. "I thought you were telling me I was a little unprepared for something," Munchak said. "I think its obviously something we would prepare for anyways. Ive seen teams do that. Anytime you show anything different that youre going to do, you want your players to be prepared for (it). ... Obviously, they havent been using it that much in practice or in games, I should say. It hasnt shown up like maybe as much as people thought when they got Tebow, how much it would show up in games. "We assumed even if they did some that, it wouldnt be a big part of the plan." Tight end Dustin Keller (ankle), defensive back Aaron Berry (hamstring) and wide receivers Clyde Gates (concussion) and Stephen Hill (knee) all sat out practice. Safety LaRon Landry also did not practice, but it was his regularly scheduled day off. Running back Bilal Powell (shoulder, toe), linebacker Bryan Thomas (strained pectoral) and nose tackle Sione Pouha (lower back) were limited. Ryan said X-rays on Powells toe revealed no fractures, as Ryan previously thought, and the running back is expected to play Monday night. Newly re-acquired wide receiver Braylon Edwards was "really limited" Thursday, Ryan said, and was limited again Friday. The Jets will consult with the teams trainers to determine his availability. "Were hopeful hell be able to go Monday," Ryan said. ___ Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL wholesale jerseys free shipping .

Durant set a season high with 41 points and Oklahoma City held off Atlanta 100-92 on Wednesday night for its 12th straight win. Westbrook had 27 points -- 21 in the first half -- and 11 assists. Durant scored 28 points in the second half, including 18 in the fourth, and also had 13 rebounds. No other Oklahoma City player scored in double figures. "Theres going to be nights where one has the hot hand and theres going to be other nights the other does," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. Both top scorers were hot against the Hawks. Durant made six of nine shots in the final period, including three 3-pointers, and the Hawks couldnt find a way to slow the 6-foot-9 forward. "We double-teamed him, we zoned him," said Hawks coach Larry Drew. "He still made shots. You cant stop him when hes hot like that." Durant said Westbrooks strong first half helped open more opportunities for him after the break. "He was aggressive and they were giving him jump shots," Durant said. "We just played off of that. He was very good and it opened up for me in the second half." Durant acknowledged he launched some "questionable" shots. "But my teammates wanted me to do it," he said. Jeff Teague led Atlanta with 19 points, Josh Smith had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Al Horford and Lou Williams scored 13 apiece. Durant was especially strong after Atlanta cut a 16-point deficit midway through the third quarter to 73-69. Durant slowed Atlantas comeback attempt when he dominated a sequence on both ends of the floor, blocking a shot by Smith before throwing down a jam. Smith drew a foul and Durant sank the free throw to push the lead to 85-75. With about 3 minutes remaining, Durant hit a fallaway jumper. Less than a minute late, he made a spin move and then sank a 3-pointer over the 6-foot-7 Kyle Korver, who was left shaking his head. "Hes just one of those players," Korver said. "People dont understand how tall he is and how long his arms are.&quoot; The fallaway jumper and spinning 3-pointer would have been unlikely attempts for most players.dddddddddddd "Thats him, though," Horford said. "He can do it. Hes that good of a player, unfortunately for us." Oklahoma City (21-4) improved the NBAs best record and atoned for a 104-95 home loss to the Hawks on Nov. 4. That loss left Oklahoma City 1-2; it is 20-2 since then and hasnt lost since Nov. 23 at Boston. The 12 straight wins matches the longest streak for the franchise since 1996, when it had a 14-game winning streak as the Seattle SuperSonics. The Hawks took their last lead at 19-17 on a follow shot by Anthony Morrow. The Thunder then went ahead with a 10-1 run that overlapped the end of the first period and the start of the second. Martin opened and closed the run with jumpers. Oklahoma City stretched the lead to 17 on four straight free throws by Durant following fouls by Morrow late in the half. "You cant have a second quarter like we did," Horford said. "We had a lapse and they took a big lead. You cant do that against a team like them." The Thunder led 68-52 midway through the third quarter, but a technical foul against Smith with 3:12 remaining in the period seemed to spark the Hawks. Smith sank a 3-pointer as part of Atlantas 8-0 run to close the period. Anthony Tolliver scored the first three points of the fourth quarter on a free throw and jam to cut the Thunders lead to 73-69. Westbrook ended Atlantas 11-0 run with a jam following an offensive rebound by Nick Collison. Sere Ibaka had 4 points and 14 rebounds for the Thunder. NOTES: The Thunder assigned F Perry Jones and G DeAndre Liggins to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League. Jones, the first-round pick from Baylor, has appeared in 10 games, averaging 1.2 points and 1.4 rebounds. ... The Hawks were without G Devin Harris, who left Tuesday nights game at Washington after injuring his left foot. He wore a walking boot on Wednesday. ... Morrow returned after missing two games with a sore back. ...
