The latest on Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions Saturday in Canton http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-cody-barton-jersey , Ohio, and Terrell Owens’ separate celebration in Chattanooga, Tennessee (all times local):10:30 p.m.With a passionate 33-minute speech in which he strolled around the stage, ad libbed, praised and joked, spoke of sacrifice, love, glory and overcoming the odds, Ray Lewis entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame.One of the best linebackers and leaders the game has seen, Lewis was the final man inducted of the seven class of 2018 members on hand. He was preceeded by Randy Moss, Brian Dawkins, Brian Urlacher Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey , Jerry Kramer, Robert Brazile and Bobby Beathard.Terrell Owens was not in Canton, Ohio, choosing instead to hold his own ceremony in Chattanooga, Tennessee.“Tell me something can’t be done is like pouring lighter fluid on an open flame,” said Lewis, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year who won a second Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens for the 2012 season — coming back from a torn triceps — then retired. He was the MVP of the 2001 title game.“I came back, and boy did I come back,” Lewis said. “When you walk off the last time with that thing, that Lombardi, it’s a confirmation I am living proof of the impossible.”A first-year nominee, Lewis was selected 26th overall in the 1996 draft — what were other teams thinking? He wasn’t even Baltimore first choice: Jonathan Ogden was http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-phil-haynes-jersey , and the big tackle made the Hall of Fame in 2013.His impact was immediate, both on the field, in the locker room, and even in pregame introductions, when his “squirrel dance” fired up fans and teammates alike. He and Ogden even did a short version on the stage.Lewis was the first player with 40 sacks and 30 interceptions in a career. An eight-time All-Pro and inside linebacker on the 2000s NFL All-Decade Team, he had a franchise-record 2,643 career tackles. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs coach Andy Reid delivered some promising news Wednesday when he rattled off the list of players who wouldn’t be practicing for this weekend’s trip to Seattle and running back Spencer Ware and offensive lineman Cam Erving were missing.Then he mentioned right tackle Mitchell Schwartz.“You mean Cam Erving, right?” Reid was asked.“No, Mitchell,” he replied.Well, so much for a promising injury report.Reid indicated the Chiefs’ stalwart right tackle hurt his knee in last week’s fourth-quarter collapse against the Chargers Ugo Amadi Jersey , which prevented the Chiefs from clinching the AFC West and the AFC’s top seed, but also put even more pressure on Sunday night’s game against the Seahawks.Reid did say that Schwartz was “making progress” and could play against Seattle.“I mean, to me, he’s one of if not the best right tackle in the league,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said of Schwartz, who was voted a Pro Bowl alternate this week. “He’s had a ton of success for a long time. It was disappointing him not making it (as a starter).”Reid also said Kendall Fuller could play against the Seahawks, even though the Chiefs’ top cover cornerback played through a fractured hand against the Chargers. Fuller had a minor procedure to fix the damage and was wearing a soft cast around his right wrist in the locker room Wednesday.Wide receiver Sammy Watkins also remained out as the Chiefs resumed workouts in earnest for the first time in a week, though Kelvin Benjamin continues to take on a bigger role in the offense.The biggest help on that side of the ball might be Ware and Erving getting back.Ware hurt his shoulder and hamstring a couple of weeks ago against Baltimore, and he was inactive for the game against the Chargers. Combine that with the release of Kareem Hunt earlier this season and the Chiefs were down to journeyman Damien Williams, Darrel Williams and Charcandrick West.Damien Williams wound up flashing the most promise, running for 49 yards and two touchdowns while showing some ability in the passing game.In fact, he performed so well that Reid indicated he would likely share some of the load with Ware Dwayne Haskins Jersey , who had been the Chiefs’ clear-cut No. 1.“I mean, will it be equal? I don’t know about that. We’ll just see how it all shakes down,” Reid said. “Again, I told the guys if they’re available we’ll find a way to use you the best we can, so be ready and alert for it. We’ll see how it all shakes out there.”The return of Erving helps to solidify an offensive line that has managed to weather injuries to just about everyone. Mitch Morse missed time with a concussion before returning to his center job, and right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff remains on injured reserve with a broken leg.Now, Schwartz is being held out of practice with a knee injury.The injury outlook is a little rosier on defense, even with Fuller’s status for the Seahawks in question. Strong safety Eric Berry came out of his season debut against the Chargers in good shape and 10 days between games means it’s possible he could play the entire way Sunday night.The Chiefs defense struggled in the second half against Los Angeles, when Berry went to the bench as planned. And he was sorely missing as the Chargers rallied for two late TDs and the win.“We’ll see how that goes. He’ll continue to increase time and we’ll see how that disperses out there and what the plan will be for this coming week,” Reid said. “The positive was that he came out feeling good. He was sore. He hadn’t played in a long time.”Notes: The Chiefs had six players voted to the Pro Bowl this week: Mahomes, TE Travis Kelce, FB Anthony Sherman David Long Jersey , WR Tyreek Hill, LB Dee Ford and LT Eric Fisher. “Huge honor,” said Fisher, a former No. 1 overall draft pick, who will be going for the first time. “I got mom and grandma in town and they were all excited. You get the texts, the phone calls from the people that have been behind you from Day 1. It’s a dream come true.” … Schwartz wasn’t the only Pro Bowl snub. DE Chris Jones did not make the team, though he was listed as an alternate. “They’re both great football players and if we could have voted for our own guys, we would have,” Sherman said.
