CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers rookie point guard Kyrie Irving made a move in his recovery from a concussion. Irving did some noncontact work during practice Monday and is now closer to a return -- perhaps as early as Wednesday against Indiana. The 19-year-old sensation, who has missed Clevelands last three games after banging his head off Miami star Dwyane Wades knee last week, participated in fastbreak and shooting drills as the short-handed Cavs went through a "very light" practice at their training facility. "He did everything that had to do with noncontact," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. Irving has not yet been cleared for full participation in practice as the Cavs follow the new concussion protocol implemented by the NBA this season. Scott said Irving will be re-evaluated before its determined if he can resume full activities Tuesday. Scott would not speculate if Irving, who is averaging 18 points and 5.1 assists, will be back to play against the Pacers. "The hope is for him to get re-evaluated, then the doctors will tell us exactly where he stands and well go from there," Scott said. "Im hoping I get him back Wednesday, but if not Im also trying to prepare for the worst." Irvings injury was a blow to the Cavs, who then suffered an equally devastating one Friday when centre Anderson Varejao broke his right wrist against Milwaukee. Varejao, who was having his best season as a pro, will be out for an indefinite period. The Cavs are expected to give a more conclusive timetable for his return in the next few days. Varejao will likely miss at least several weeks -- and possibly more. Varejao will undergo more tests but Scott has not been told his best frontline player needs surgery. Varejao is one of the NBAs top rebounders and a constant source of energy for the Cavs, who had been one of the leagues early surprises after winning just 19 games last season. With Irving and Varejao on the bench in street clothes, the Cavs were hammered at home 99-84 by the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Scott was disappointed with his teams effort, which he partly blamed on the Cavaliers reaction to losing their top two players. "I told them I hope that the last game was a one-time hangover," he said. "I understand from a players standpoint, when youre missing someone as important as Andy is to us, I understand that youre going to probably feel a little disappointment or sadness that hes not out there because he gives you everything hes got. "But, like Ive said in the past, it gives other guys opportunities and they better be ready to step up and take the challenge. Hopefully everybody is over with that and we understand that hes not going to be here for a few days. We still have to move on." Semih Erden will start in Varejaos spot against the Pacers. Forward Antawn Jamison has been through injury spells before, and the veteran understands the difficulty in filling the void left by losing Varejao. "Its always tough, especially missing a guy like Andy and the type of year hes had," he said. "I thought with a couple more wins he should have been in the all-star game. But you just cant replace what he brings to the table. Defensively, he makes up a lot of things we do mistakewise. Hes just been playing out of his mind this season. For our young guys, this is a challenge." cheap jerseys from china . Quite a turnaround, but not a surprising one for manager Terry Francona.

General manager Buddy Nix announced Sunday he informed Nelsons agent that the team will not issue the third-year player a contract offer to retain his rights. Its the latest move by the Bills to cut ties with their immediate past since Doug Marrone took over as coach last month. The Bills decided not to extend third-year receiver Donald Jones a contract offer earlier this month. They have also released two veterans, linebacker Nick Barnett and safety George Wilson. Nelson will now prepare to become an unrestricted free agent. The move wasnt entirely a surprise for Nelson after the team fired coach Chan Gailey following a 6-10 finish last year. In confirming the Bills decision on his Twitter account, Nelson wrote hes "excited for the next opportunity." Nelson made the Bills inn 2010 as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Florida, after enjoying a successful senior season as one of Tim Tebows top targets in helping the Gators win the national championship.dddddddddddd At 6-foot-5 and 204 pounds, Nelson became a dependable contributor during his first two seasons with a combined 92 catches for 1,011 yards and eight touchdowns. Last year, his season ended in the opener with a torn right knee ligament. Nelson had surgery shortly after being hurt and anticipates hell be ready for the start of training camp this year. The Bills have added receiver to their list of off-season needs. The team now returns only two regular receivers, starter Stevie Johnson and undersized speedster T.J. Graham, who made a limited impact as a rookie last year. Brad Smith, who doubles as a wildcat quarterback specialist, also saw limited time at receiver last season. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
