Sydney named Kurt Tippett and Gary Rohan in their preliminary side on Thursday night but the pair are no certainties to line up for the Swans against Geelong at the MCG.Coach John Longmire didnt bother with any subterfuge over co-captain Jarrad McVeighs fitness - hes out with a calf strain - but the other pair still carry lingering doubts.Tippett suffered a fractured jaw just two weeks ago and Rohans season looked over on Saturday night when he crumpled to the SCG turf against Adelaide with a knee injury.He cut a disconsolate figure as he was carted from the field and was on crutches after the game.Zak Jones was brought in to replace McVeigh, while Toby Nankervis made way for Tippett.But 2012 premiership player Nick Smith admitted Sydneys line-up could change again when final team sheets are submitted 90 minutes before the opening bounce on Friday night.Well give them every opportunity to play, Smith said just hours before teams were announced on Thursday night.I think (Rohans) reaction was probably exacerbated by what happened last time (when he suffered a serious injury).First and foremost its good that hes OK and second of all that hes a chance to play this week.Harry Cunningham, James Rose and Nankervis also travelled with the team should further changes be needed.Newly crowned AFL Rising Star Callum Mills injured his hamstring in the upset qualifying loss to Greater Western Sydney and was ruled out on Wednesday.McVeighs loss is a blow to the Swans, but Smith put a brave face on the veterans absence.Ins and outs this week ... it doesnt matter who plays for them and who plays for us, he said.In the end it comes down to our application on Friday night.The Cats brought Lachie Henderson back from a knee injury, as expected - Tom Ruggles made way - while Daniel Menzel was a surprise omission with a groin strain, with Jed Bews named as his replacement.Smith admitted he had studied Menzels game closely during the week in preparation for a defensive role on the dangerous forward.The Swans go into the clash having inflicted Geelongs only loss at Simonds Stadium this season - by 38 points - in round 16.Its a long time ago now and both sides have made a lot of changes, Smith said.We really respect Geelong as a footy club and theyll play some good footy on Friday night. There will be swings of momentum and we know we have to be up for the challenge.We know what works and weve got to bring that (against the Cats). Kevin Gausman Braves Jersey .

ASHBURN, Va. -- Cullen Jenkins couldnt afford to sit at home and wait for an NFL team to call.The veteran defensive lineman worked out in New Jersey with trainer Javier Chimanovski throughout the offseason and long after training camps opened. Still, after 12 seasons in the NFL Jenkins remained unsigned. But on Monday it all paid off when the Washington Redskins signed Jenkins to a one-year deal.Mentally it starts to get tough the later it gets because youre training, training, training, training, training and then sometimes you can start to wonder: `Am I training for anything? Is that call going to come? Jenkins said after working out, signing and going through practice. I would just tell people if the call doesnt come, it is what it is, but its not going to come and then Im not going to be ready. Im going to make sure Im ready regardless.At 35 years old, Jenkins brings leadership and depth to the Redskins defensive line that had some question marks. Coach Jay Gruden said the team had some players already in camp it was happy with but wanted to add another big body to the mix days before cutting to the 53-man roster.Jenkins spent the past three seasons with the New York Giants and also played for the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. He has 332 tackles and 47 + sacks in his NFL career.Gruden believes Jenkins can play anywhere along the defensive line, which cant hurt at a time the Redskins have to make some final decisions.I still got a lot of quickness and experience, Jenkins said. With that ability to still try to get after the quarterback and just be a versatile player, thats been what Ive been my whole career -- someone who can try to be versatile and play a lot of different positions.Jenkins, who didnt have any other NFL workouts before Monday, said he didnt ask general manager Scot McCloughan for any assurances that hell be on the 53-man roster after this weekend because he signed so late.Its still a matter of me having to prove myself, Jenkins said. Im an older player. Im 35 years old. I dont expect any give-mes or guarantees coming into this thing. You come in and the way to do it: You come in,, you prove yourself, you show what youve got.dddddddddddd If you do a good job of that, then youve got a chance to stay around.Jenkins said it was a possibility that hell play in the fourth preseason game Thursday at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.His signing came on the same day the New England Patriots cut former Redskins defensive lineman Terrance Knighton and got Bryan Stork back after the center failed his physical with Washington. The Redskins sent a draft pick to the Patriots for Stork on Wednesday, and the 25-year-old mulled retirement before deciding to report.Its unfortunate, Gruden said of Stork failing his physical. Hes a great kid and obviously a very good player. Every physical is different on every team, so it might be different somewhere else, but it didnt work out here.Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday morning of Storks situation: Well find out exactly what the story is and whenever that is well make the best decision that we can.Gruden said even without Stork the Redskins feel good about their depth at center, despite Kory Lichtensteiger being held out of practice with shoulder soreness and backup Spencer Long, whos in competition to start at left guard, dealing with a sprained right ankle. They added interior line depth by claiming 26-year-old guard Vinston Painter off waivers from the Denver Broncos.Game notes Gruden ruled rookie WR Josh Doctson out of the final preseason game because of an Achilles injury but said the first-round pick could still play in the season opener Monday, Sept. 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. ... LB Ryan Kerrigan is considered day to day with a groin strain. ... Rookie RB Keith Marshall is out at least three weeks with a sprained left elbow, putting his status in doubt with final cuts approaching. ... Rookie Nate Sudfeld will start at quarterback against the Buccaneers, Gruden said.---AP Sports Writer Kyle Hightower in Foxborough, Massachusetts, contributed to this story.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
