Alastair Clarksons premiership-laden reign at Hawthorn is set to produce another AFL senior coach, with Brisbane to announce the appointment of Chris Fagan.The Lions are expected to present Fagan as Justin Leppitschs successor at a press conference on Tuesday.He will join Western Bulldogs premiership coach Luke Beveridge, Richmonds Damien Hardwick, Greater Western Sydneys Leon Cameron, West Coasts Adam Simpson and Carltons Brendon Bolton as current AFL coaches to have worked with Clarkson.Fagan, 55, has been the frontrunner to replace Leppitsch since he was sacked following the clubs disastrous three-win season.Blues assistant John Barker was also believed to have come under strong consideration.Fagan has been with the Hawks since 2008, where he experienced premiership success on four occasions and worked alongside Mark Evans, who will have had some input into the Lions decision as the AFLs football operations manager.AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said in August this year that the league, which has already invested heavily in the cash-strapped Lions, would work with the struggling club to get the right people in key positions.The AFL was instrumental in luring respected football operations manager David Noble from Adelaide to oversee Brisbanes overhauled football department.Fagan will take on a senior coaching role in the AFL for the first time and never played at the elite level, but is a well-respected figure in the industry who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge.He was an assistant coach to Neale Daniher at Melbourne, where he also took on the role of football operations manager and has a strong coaching and playing background in his native Tasmania.The five-person selection panel that oversaw the search for a new coach was led by Lions chief executive Greg Swann and included club great Simon Black, list manager Peter Schwab, psychology firm executive Matti Clements and Noble.Fred Johnson Jersey . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation.

Argentina boasts Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Angel Di Maria. Matthew Wright Jersey .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week.ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Eric Ebron walked without a limp onto the practice field about 30 minutes after the rest of the Detroit Lions began practicing Monday.Afterward, Ebron ignored questions from reporters and Caldwell declined to shed light on anything related to the injury suffered by the tight end over the weekend.Only one thing is clear: Detroits backup tight ends are going to get a great opportunity to earn playing time and perhaps a spot on the final roster.Undrafted rookie Cole Wick and journeyman Matthew Mulligan are the leading candidates to get a lot of snaps Tuesday through Thursday during practices with the Pittsburgh Steelers and against them Friday night in an exhibition game.Wick, an undrafted rookie from the University of the Incarnate Word in Texas, said he had offers to sign with Carolina, Oakland, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay along with a few other teams before accepting the Lions offer. Wick took the only option he had to play in college and his position coach was Larry Moore, who made it in the NFL as an undrafted rookie and played for three teams from 1998 to 2005.Im just going to do my best with the reps that Im giving at this point and try to capitalize on all opportunities, Wick said.Ebron went down with an undisclosed injury to his lower right leg Saturday during a mock game and was carted off the field.Wick tried to make the most of Ebron going from the top player at the position to a tutor of sorts on Monday.He has been a great mentor, Wick said. If Im taking a step too shallow hes there to tell me. Hes helping me with routes, footwork and blocking.Mulligan has 17 career catches since making his league debut in 2009 with the New York Jets.dddddddddddd Adam Fuehne, Orson Charles and Ben McCord are the other tight ends on Detroits roster.Obviously they get a little bit more reps, which I think is always good and guys have to take advantage of it, Caldwell said. When your rep count goes up youve got to make certain that youre playing well. Obviously you see them catch a few balls here and there, but theres a lot more to it than that.Ebron went down with an undisclosed injury to his lower right leg Saturday during a mock game and was carted off the field.Youre going to have some injuries happen all the time that way, Caldwell said. You hope they dont, but sometimes they do.The Lions were hoping Calvin Johnson would return for a 10th season, but the superstar receiver chose to retire. That led to them counting even more on Ebron, drafted No. 10 overall in 2014, in the passing game this season.They might have to come up with Plan B. Ebron had 47 receptions for 537 yards and five touchdowns. If healthy, he seemed set up to have the best year of his career.Even before Detroits best tight end was hurt, it didnt have much depth at the position.Brandon Pettigrew is recovering from a torn knee ligament late last year and might not be healthy enough to start the season. Tim Wright, another veteran, had a season-ending knee injury earlier this year.You have to be able to adjust, Caldwell said. Its a next-man up situation.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL, had a season-ending knee injurle Baseball Jerseys[/url] ' ' '
