Colts' Chuck Pagano medically cleared to resume coaching duties Indianapolis Colts Coach Chuck Pagano can resume coaching whenever he's ready. On Thursday, Dr. Larry Cripe said that Pagano had been cleared to return and that it was up to the coach and the Colts to determine when that will happen, and how much Pagano will do. Pagano's physician is not imposing any restrictions, either. Pagano is expected to return to the team complex as early as Monday. "Medically, I see no reason he cannot come back when he's ready to try and come back," Cripe said. Coach has done a great job with this, and I trust him. Cripe said he gave Pagano the good news the last time they met, though he declined to say when that happened. Pagano has not been on the sideline since a Sept. 23 loss to Jacksonville, Indianapolis' only home defeat this season. Three days later, he learned he had leukemia and immediately began the first of three rounds of chemotherapy. Players and most of the assistant coaches were told Oct. 1, the day the Colts returned from their bye, that Pagano was taking an indefinite leave from the team and that offensive coordinator Bruce Arians would fill in as interim coach. The team has left the light on in Pagano's office since then. On Nov. 5, Cripe said that the disease was in "complete remission" and that Pagano would undergo two more rounds of chemotherapy to ensure all the cancer cells had been destroyed. Pagano is scheduled to take oral medication and be closely monitored by doctors for the next two years. Jets could part with Sanchez, Tebow Mark Sanchez is no longer the face of the New York Jets. He could soon be a former member of the team. And Tim Tebow might even beat him out the door. A person with knowledge of the situation said Thursday that the Jets will consider all of their options regarding the two quarterbacks during the off-season. That means Sanchez and Tebow are in limbo and trades cannot be ruled out. The person, who requested anonymity because the team's personnel plans are private, said that the Jets have not made any determinations involving Sanchez or Tebow. The Jets could be hard-pressed to trade or cut Sanchez, who is due $8.25 million in guarantees next season after having his contract extended last off-season. But there are no such complications with Tebow, who will probably be traded or released after one disappointing season in New York. Tebow has two years remaining on his contract but would cost the Jets only a little more than $1 million against the salary cap if cut. "Anything dealing with the future past Buffalo [the regular-season finale] will be handled after that," Coach Rex Ryan said. The futures of Ryan, General Manager Mike Tannenbaum and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano also are uncertain. Parting ways with Tebow, the immensely popular but little-used backup, appears a certainty, though, after he came to New York amid a lot of hype but had little impact. The final indication that Tebow will not be part of the Jets' future came when Ryan benched Sanchez and went with Greg McElroy, the third-stringer, to start at quarterback against San Diego on Sunday. Griffin looks set to play Robert Griffin III looks good to go. The Washington Redskins rookie quarterback had a full practice for the second straight day as the team prepares for this week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. "I like what I see," Coach Mike Shanahan said. If there is no setback, he should be ready to go. Griffin missed Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns because of a sprained right knee. On Wednesday, he had his first full practice since the injury, and coaches and doctors were eager to see how the knee would respond. Miami Dolphins receivers Brian Hartline and Davone Bess have back injuries and could miss the game Sunday against Buffalo. Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jason Jones was put on injured reserve because of a lingering knee injury. The Green Bay Packers are asking for as many as 600 people to clear snow from Lambeau Field on Friday. The first big storm of the winter has already dumped six inches of snow on northeastern Wisconsin, with up to a foot expected before it tapers off. The Packers play host to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Shovelers need to be at least 15 years old, and the Packers will pay $10 per hour.
