OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens are optimistic that the starting quarterback will play at the New York Jets after he missed Wednesdays practice with a right shoulder injury.To me, he will be out there, coach John Harbaugh said after practice. Its my belief hell be out there.A league source told ESPN NFL Insider Ed Werder that Flacco has irritation in the joint of his throwing shoulder, which he has experienced before. The source said the Ravens expect Flacco to play, but a final determination might not be made until as late as Saturday.Flacco said he didnt feel the injury during Sundays 27-23 loss to the New York Giants. He felt a little something in the locker room after the game and underwent a magnetic resonance imaging test after reporting the injury to the team Monday.Its nothing to worry about, Flacco said. It was probably best to take the day off, come back and see how it feels [Thursday].If Flacco is sidelined, the Ravens would turn to Ryan Mallett, who went 1-1 as a starter for Baltimore last season.Flacco started 137 straight games, the fifth-longest streak in NFL history for quarterbacks, before suffering a season-ending knee injury last November. He is the 27th-rated passer this season (78.9), throwing for 1,589 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions.This latest injury isnt about how much pain he can tolerate.Its about making sure you can throw the ball good enough to help your team, Flacco said.Flacco hopes hell know whether he can play sometime this week and this wont become a game-time decision. He doesnt have to practice this week in order to play Sunday because of his experience, according to Harbaugh.I believe he has a legitimate chance to play, Harbaugh said. Theres no tougher guy than Joe.Flacco was among the nine players who didnt practice Wednesday for the short-handed Ravens. Its a list that includes wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. (ankle), linebackers Terrell Suggs (biceps), C.J. Mosley (hamstring) and Elvis Dumervil (foot) and guard Marshal Yanda (shoulder).

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Desperate to improve Floridas free-throw shooting last season, coach Mike White tried a little bit of everything.He tweaked some of his players mechanics. He increased repetitions in practice. He had guys shoot while tired, winded and with some team accountability at stake. He even considered bringing in a sports psychologist.I didnt want it to become more mental than it already was, White said Tuesday.So he waited until the offseason.Thats when White brought in renowned sports psychologist Spencer Wood to work with the Gators this summer.If you can train your mind, use different methods to understand how to stay in that place -- whatever that place is for you or whatever that trigger word is for you -- or get you back into that place of calm, or confident, those type things, I think it can help you with the rest of your game as well, said White, whos in his second season in Gainesville.So far, its made a noticeable difference for Florida (2-0), which plays St. Bonaventure (1-0) in Lakeland on Thursday night.After ranking 323rd (out of 346 NCAA teams) from the foul line last season, shooting a meager 64.7 percent, Florida is up to 78.6 percent from there this season. Two games are hardly enough of a sample size to make White a believer, but he wants to think there is improvement.You hope that moving forward we can be in the same mindset, White said. Im not sure its fixed. I dont want to sit here and think were a great free-throwing shooting team. But what weve seen the first two games is what weve been in practice. You want that to continue, of course. Our guys are in a pretty good place.White said feedback was positive, especially from center John Egbunu, point guard Kasey Hill and forward Justin Leon. Egbunu (53.2 percent), Hill (53.8) and Leon (46.2) were among Floridas worst foul shooters last season. All three are above 70 percent through two gammes.ddddddddddddLeon said Wood worked with players to find their hype meter on a scale of 1 to 10, telling them they needed to play defense at a more frantic pace than offense, especially at the line.He gave me a lot of different breathing patterns, Leon added. So thats really been working for me. ... Its good to see it impact the game. That means the stuff weve been doing is working and it shows weve taken to the time to put the effort in the gym.Woods resume includes a number of college and professional teams. He even worked with the Gators previously, getting invited by former Florida coach Billy Donovan before the 2010 season and helping that team deal with the psychological aspects of trying to get back to the NCAA Tournament after a two-year absence. The Gators, led by Chandler Parsons, Kenny Boynton and Erving Walker, returned to the tournament.White blamed free-throw shooting for his team missing the NCAA Tournament last season. The Gators blew several leads, failing to put teams away late from the line, and had double-digit misses in 10 games.The Gators look considerably more confident this season. If not for newcomer Canyon Barry missing three of his first four underhanded free throws in the opener because of nerves, the Gators would have shot at least 80 percent from the charity stripe in both games.Very nice, very nice, White said. Knock on wood we continue shooting it this way. We have in practice. We just hope we continue to see that carry over. You can see it their body languages, a little more confident at the foul line. ... Its a big factor for us. It kept up out of the NCAA Tournament last year, single-handily, and hopefully this year we continue shooting like this.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
