Chicago Bears starting center Hroniss Grasu has a torn ACL in his right knee and is done for the season, coach John Fox said Monday.Grasu suffered a noncontact injury that required him to leave Saturdays practice at Soldier Field on a cart.Its a punch in the gut, Fox said.Grasu, a 2015 third-round pick, had enjoyed a solid training camp prior to Saturdays incident.Fox altered the schedule for the teams annual Family Fest practice last year, holding a 36-play live scrimmage. It was during such a scrimmage Saturday when Grasu crumpled to the turf as he attempted to block downfield on a screen pass to running back Jacquizz Rodgers.Grasu started eight games for the Bears as a rookie last season.Ive played with a lot of guys, and hes one of my favorites, even in the short amount of time Ive known him, quarterback Jay Cutler said.?I had a hard time with [the news] yesterday, and I think guys are still feeling the effects today. Hes everything you talk about when you talk about a team guy. I dealt with him on a day-to-day basis, and he worked so hard to get to this point. But unfortunately things like this happen. Weve got to move on.Fox has options at center. Veteran Ted Larsen and 2016 second-round pick Cody Whitehair have worked some at the position in the offseason and in the early stages of camp.Larsen started games at center as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?and took Grasus spot at center on Monday.Ted is a professional, Cutler said. Ted stepped in today and worked with me and the first team and we didnt miss a beat. Were going to be fine there. Ted will step in and do a good job for us.You guys have seen all the people that have played there, Fox said. Its not like we have only one. We adjust. Thats what you do. David Nied Jersey .

Wests Tigers veteran Dene Halatau will hang up his boots at the end of the 2016 NRL season.The 33-year-old utility, who has played 241 games for the Wests Tigers and Canterbury, confirmed his retirement on Monday.I felt as though the time is right and its something that Ive been thinking about for a long time now, Halatau said.Halatau won a premiership with the Wests Tigers in 2005, before shifting to Canterbury in 2010 for a four-year stint.He then return to the Tigers on a two-year deal in 2014, and his contract was eventually renewed for another season heading into this year.I was grateful to the club, JT (Jason Taylor) and the coaching staff for giving me this year; I still feel as though Im playing good enough football to contributte well for the team, he said.ddddddddddddIve had a few little injuries over the past season that have just been quite frustrating more than anything.While Im still feeling okay I think its the right time to hang the boots up.Previously a back-rower, Halatau has become Taylors answer to the No.9 conundrum this season with hooker Matt Ballin injured and his preference to play Robbie Farah from the bench.He has great advice and sets a great example for every player at Wests Tigers, not just the young ones but the older guys also look to him for leadership and he will be sorely missed at the club, Taylor said.
