FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Matt Forte took a few handoffs in individual drills and tested out his healing hamstring. Then, instead of heading to the trainers area or into the facility, the New York Jets running back stayed on the field for team drills.Forte fully practiced for the first time in training camp Wednesday -- a positive sign for a guy the Jets have been cautious with after he tweaked a hamstring running on his own last month.It was good to see him getting in shape, coach Todd Bowles said. We got him some reps today, first time taking team reps. Hopefully, that wont have any ill effects tomorrow and well go from there.Forte declared Tuesday that he would definitely be available to play in the regular-season opener on Sept. 11. That seemed even more likely on Wednesday with his first significant snaps of camp.Before Sunday, Forte hadnt even participated in individual drills since Aug. 2. He appeared to have little concern about his health when talking Tuesday, his second straight practice in which he did positional drills after the Jets were off Monday.Hes got to get into some football shape, Bowles said. They werent tackling or really hitting him. He was about three-quarters speed. We look forward to him getting better. If he doesnt have any setbacks (Thursday), then well move forward.New York plays its second preseason game Friday night at Washington, and Bowles wouldnt rule out Forte to play -- but sounded as though it would be unlikely.Hell warm up, the coach said. Chances are slim, though.Its more likely that Forte, as long as he has no setbacks, will make his debut against the Giants next week in the third game, when most of the starters play into the second half and then sit out the final preseason game.Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson could see his first game action against the Redskins after fully participating in practice for the second straight day. He has been working his way back from a broken right leg, suffered in last seasons finale against Buffalo.Im feeling good, Wilkerson said. I felt better than I did yesterday, so thats a good thing.A first-time Pro Bowl selection last season, Wilkerson is one of the key parts of Bowles defense and they are guarding against rushing him back.Bowles said Wilkerson has a better chance than Forte of playing. The defensive end was happy to be able to take the next step in his rehabilitation while participating in team drills in consecutive days.I got to hit some of the offensive linemen and get back in the groove, Wilkerson said. Im just going to take it one day at a time.New York will be counting on a healthy Wilkerson to anchor a defensive line that is an overwhelming strength of this Jets team. Along with Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson, Leonard Williams and Steve McLendon make up one of the NFLs top units heading into the season.We could be great, Wilkerson said. Weve just got to keep on pushing each other, keep competing, and each and every week, go out and dominate.Meanwhile, cornerback Dexter McDougle re-injured a hamstring Tuesday and didnt practice Wednesday. Bowles was uncertain of the severity of the injury.Safety Doug Middleton (leg) and running backs Dominique Williams (concussion) and Romar Morris (shoulder) did not practice. Right tackle Breno Giacomini (back) and wide receiver Devin Smith (knee) remain on the active/physically unable to perform list.Game notes QB Christian Hackenberg, the teams second-round draft pick in April, could make his debut against the Redskins. Thats the plan, Bowles said. Well see how it works out. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith and Bryce Petty all saw time in the preseason opener against Jacksonville last week, but Hackenberg remained on the sideline. ...

BELGRADE, Serbia --?Andy Murray tipped Kyle Edmund to go right up to the top of the game after his Davis Cup heroics against Serbia.The 21-year-old stepped into Murrays shoes for the weekend in Belgrade and rose to the challenge, beating Janko Tipsarevic?on Friday and then Dusan Lajovic?on Saturday to clinch victory for Great Britain.Leon Smiths side go through to a semifinal against Argentina in September, which Murray confirmed he is set to play in. The world No. 2 has taken Edmund under his wing since it became clear the Yorkshireman was the countrys brightest prospect and seen him develop into one of the most exciting young talents in the game.He [Edmund] is a lot better than a lot of people thought he was going to be, myself included, Murray said. I still think there are some things he can improve, but he has big weapons, bigger than a lot of the young guys that are ahead of him.When he gets more experience and learns hhow to use them better, gets a little bit physically stronger, gets used to playing in atmospheres like this more and more, hes going to go a long way.ddddddddddddurray didnt play in the tie, but his travelling to Belgrade to support the team was noted.Its a great win for the whole team actually away from home in Serbia, although they had some players missing, but we did as well, which shows that there is some depth there as well, and Kyle did great, the Scot said.I thought he played great in both of the matches. I thought today he dominated the whole match. The end got a little bit tight, but he deserved the win clearly. He handled everything really well.The level at the end of the match was excellent, very few unforced errors from both of them. Kyle was hitting a big ball the whole way through. ' ' '
