visits Sporting Kansas City on Saturday.

missed the previous two games with a groin strain, is the teams leading scorer
with 11 goals in 15 games. "We may have Jermain back, but again we dont want to
push him too much," said coach Ryan Nelsen. "(Defoes) status is that its looking
positive, its looking really good, so yeah he might be available." When asked,
the striker would not confirm his status for Saturdays match. If he does return,
itll be welcome news for the Reds, who are struggling with . Defender Doneil
Henry was among those who did not participate in training Thursday due to
illness. Defoe missed the teams 2-0 win in Montreal and 3-2 win in Columbus this
month due to the injury, which was initially believed to be a sports hernia. He
also missed the MLS All-Star game last week. It was announced on Aug. 4 that
Defoe had suffered a groin strain, which was expected to keep him out of the
lineup for two to three weeks. Saturday would be Day 12 since the announcement.
The 31-year-old also missed Torontos 2-1 loss at home to Sporting KC (11-6-6) on
July 26 serving a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation. Toronto
(9-7-5) will be without defender Mark Bloom (MCL strain) and captain Steven
Caldwell (quad) for Saturdays game, which concludes a stretch of four
consecutive road games. Nelsen said the defenders could be available when
Toronto return home for a match with the Chicago Fire next Saturday.

Wis. - Mike McCarthy didnt want to think or talk about his accomplishments or
his potential legacy as the Green Bay Packers coach Monday.He wanted to change
the subject to Sunday nights game against Chicago.So shortly after the team
announced that hed signed a multiyear contract extension, McCarthy lasted all of
six questions before he tried steering the discussion in another direction.Can
we talk about the Bears now? McCarthy said, referring to the Packers upcoming
game Sunday night against their NFC North rivals.But more questions followed
about McCarthys place in one of the NFLs most-storied franchises.It made sense
considering hes five victories behind Vince Lombardi in Packers history. With a
93-53-1 record including the playoffs, McCarthy ranks third in team history
behind Curly Lambeau (212) and Lombardi (98).Im not going to compare myself to
Coach Lombardi. Lets be real here, McCarthy said. I understand my place, my
opportunity and Im very thankful for the people that came before me.In McCarthys
nine seasons as coach, the Packers have made six playoff appearances, won four
division titles, appeared in two NFC championship games and won a Super Bowl.The
Packers did not release specifics of McCarthys deal.General manager Ted Thompson
signed an extension in July that reportedly runs through the 2019 draft.We are
very happy to extend our relationship with Mike, Thompson said in a statement.
Over the past nine years, hes provided great stability and consistency to the
Packers organization and our community as an excellent coach and leader. Hes a
good man and we look forward to the future with Mike as our head coach.A
Pittsburgh native, the 50-year-old McCarthy was the Packers quarterbacks coach
in 1999 before spending five seasons as the New Orleans Saints offensive
co-ordinator (2000-04) and one year as the offensive co-ordinator of the San
Francisco 49ers (2005) before being hired to replace Mike Sherman as Packers
coach in January 2006.McCarthy began his NFL coaching career with the Kansas
City Chiefs in 1993.Coming off a bye, the Packers enter their Sunday nighht game
against the Bears at Lambeau Field with a 5-3 record following a 1-2 start.
Puma Suede Creepers Nere. Only the Packers
and the New England Patriots have made the post-season each of the past five
seasons.The Packers have won three straight NFC North titles under McCarthy and
won at least 10 games in five of his nine seasons.McCarthy, who had previously
signed extensions after the 2007 and 2010 seasons, said he was happy with the
new deal but admitted that the timing — even though it occurred during the teams
bye week — was slightly awkward for him because it happened during the
season.This is a great place. Im very blessed, very fortunate to have the
opportunity to coach here, McCarthy said. This is something that the
organization wanted. I was thrilled about the opportunity to continue, (and) all
Im really thinking about is moving forward.Frankly, Im a little uncomfortable
talking about it this time of the year. This is something we havent done
in-season in the past. Were thrilled as a family to be here, and were focused on
the Bears.NOTES: McCarthy said quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who left the teams
Oct. 26 loss at New Orleans with a hamstring injury, did everything during the
teams modified Monday practice and looked good. ... Right guard T.J. Lang
(ankle) did injury rehabilitation work during practice, McCarthy said.
Cornerback Sam Shields (knee) looked good and did everything at practice while
safety Morgan Burnett (calf) pretty much did everything, McCarthy said. ... The
Packers released often-injured 2011 first-round pick Derek Sherrod Monday to
make room on the 53-man roster for centre JC Tretter, who was activated from the
injured reserve/designated for return list. Sherrod, who broke his leg in a
December 2011 game that required emergency surgery and sidelined him for most of
the next two seasons, had been the teams No. 3 offensive tackle behind starters
David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga. Sherrod played 20 games with one start —
earlier this season in place of an injured Bulaga — in four seasons.___AP NFL
