Nathan Hughes is available for Englands final autumn international against Australia on Saturday after taking a full part in training.Hughes missed the 27-14 victory over Argentina with a foot injury but has been cleared to replace Billy Vunipola in the back row against the Wallabies at Twickenham in what would be his full Test debut.Vunipola has been ruled out for at least three months after undergoing knee surgery, jeopardising his participation in the RBS 6 Nations, and Eddie Jones has already described the Fijian-born Hughes as the obvious replacement at number eight.Nathan has done really well in camp since he joined, last weeks injury aside, forwards coach Steve Borthwick said. Billy is a tremendous player who has done really well for us and has been a big figure in our team.But injuries are an opportunity for other players and what weve seen throughout this series is players coming in and taking chances presented by injury.This is another one of those opportunities. We have a lot of quality back row forwards in the squad.Jack Clifford offers number eight cover but having just made his comeback from ankle surgery, he must now observe the return to play protocols for concussion after taking a blow to the head for Harlequins against Bath on Sunday.England defeated Argentina despite seeing wing Elliot Daly sent off in the fifth minute and for all the Pumas cluelessness at exploiting their numerical advantage, it was a remarkable performance.It was colossal. We had 14 men for 75 minutes but we still won a Test match against a team thats as strong as Argentina, defence coach Paul Gustard said. Everyone was raving about Argentina in the World Cup 12 months ago and they had a strong Rugby Championship.For 15 minutes we had 13 men. At the start of the second half, one bad defensive error led to a try and thats Test match rugby - you get punished for respects.We all felt unbelievably privileged to be part of a group that responded so courageously and heroically for a large portion of the game.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Cullen Jenkins couldnt afford to sit at home and wait for an NFL team to call.The veteran defensive lineman worked out in New Jersey with trainer Javier Chimanovski throughout the offseason and long after training camps opened. Still, after 12 seasons in the NFL Jenkins remained unsigned. But on Monday it all paid off when the Washington Redskins signed Jenkins to a one-year deal.Mentally it starts to get tough the later it gets because youre training, training, training, training, training and then sometimes you can start to wonder: `Am I training for anything? Is that call going to come? Jenkins said after working out, signing and going through practice. I would just tell people if the call doesnt come, it is what it is, but its not going to come and then Im not going to be ready. Im going to make sure Im ready regardless.At 35 years old, Jenkins brings leadership and depth to the Redskins defensive line that had some question marks. Coach Jay Gruden said the team had some players already in camp it was happy with but wanted to add another big body to the mix days before cutting to the 53-man roster.Jenkins spent the past three seasons with the New York Giants and also played for the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. He has 332 tackles and 47 + sacks in his NFL career.Gruden believes Jenkins can play anywhere along the defensive line, which cant hurt at a time the Redskins have to make some final decisions.I still got a lot of quickness and experience, Jenkins said. With that ability to still try to get after the quarterback and just be a versatile player, thats been what Ive been my whole career -- someone who can try to be versatile and play a lot of different positions.Jenkins, who didnt have any other NFL workouts before Monday, said he didnt ask general manager Scot McCloughan for any assurances that hell be on the 53-man roster after this weekend because he signed so late.Its still a matter of me having to prove myself, Jenkins said. Im an older player. Im 35 years old. I dont expect any give-mes or guarantees coming into this thing. You come in and the way to do it: You come in,, you prove yourself, you show what youve got.dddddddddddd If you do a good job of that, then youve got a chance to stay around.Jenkins said it was a possibility that hell play in the fourth preseason game Thursday at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.His signing came on the same day the New England Patriots cut former Redskins defensive lineman Terrance Knighton and got Bryan Stork back after the center failed his physical with Washington. The Redskins sent a draft pick to the Patriots for Stork on Wednesday, and the 25-year-old mulled retirement before deciding to report.Its unfortunate, Gruden said of Stork failing his physical. Hes a great kid and obviously a very good player. Every physical is different on every team, so it might be different somewhere else, but it didnt work out here.Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday morning of Storks situation: Well find out exactly what the story is and whenever that is well make the best decision that we can.Gruden said even without Stork the Redskins feel good about their depth at center, despite Kory Lichtensteiger being held out of practice with shoulder soreness and backup Spencer Long, whos in competition to start at left guard, dealing with a sprained right ankle. They added interior line depth by claiming 26-year-old guard Vinston Painter off waivers from the Denver Broncos.Game notes Gruden ruled rookie WR Josh Doctson out of the final preseason game because of an Achilles injury but said the first-round pick could still play in the season opener Monday, Sept. 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. ...
