By just about all accounts, injury has sidelined NRL superstar Johnathan Thurston for two weeks.But it appears someone has forgotten to tell his North Queensland coach Paul Green.The Cowboys mentor hasnt ruled out Thurston making a shock start against Melbourne on Saturday night, in a top-three clash that could decide the minor premiership, despite not officially naming the Test playmaker on Tuesday.Thurston went down with a hamstring injury in last rounds 36-0 romp over Canterbury, prompting calls that the four-time Dally M Medallist would be sidelined for at least a fortnight.Yet, on Tuesday, it was news to Green.According to everyone else, it is two games, Green said.But we have got a pretty good high performance unit and medical staff, we wont be taking any unnecessary risks with him but he will be back sooner rather than later.At this stage, he has got a few days rest which was already planned ... once he comes back from that, we will monitor how he feels.The top-four race was supposed to have been blown wide open by Thurstons injury.The three-time Golden Boot winner was expected to at least miss not only the Storm clash but also next rounds away showdown with the Wests Tigers.But asked if Thurston could play against second-placed Melbourne, Green said: We will see how he goes.We will monitor him. Scan results are fairly inconclusive.There is something going on there but its nothing too concerning at the moment.In the meantime, Ray Thompson has been named in the halves for injured No.7 Thurston.Green predicted Queensland State of Origin player Michael Morgan would step up if Thurston was officially ruled out.He liked how Cowboys half Morgan responded after Thurston limped off against the Bulldogs.Morgs grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck last week, Green said.Its about stepping up and taking some ownership of the team.Asked if defending premiers North Queensland were still a one-man band, Green said: I firmly believe we have moved past that.I think we proved that last year.

Wholesale Custom Colts Shirts . -- Bryant McKinnie came out of his stance and lowered his shoulder into a practice squad player, causing a crisp thud to reverberate in the Miami Dolphins practice bubble. Dale Earnhardt Jr. says he believes he is healthier now than he was before a crash at Michigan in June that caused a concussion, triggering balance and vision issues and nausea that kept him off the track for the final 18 races of 2016.He feels so good that he plans to resume contract negotiations with Hendrick Motorsports before he returns to racing in late February, when the 2017 season opens at Daytona.The 42-year-old drivers contract is up at the end of 2017, and negotiations with team owner Rick Hendrick were put on hold after Earnhardt stepped out of the car in July. Earnhardt, who in August decided not to return at all in 2016, tested Wednesday at Darlington Raceway and has been cleared to return to racing.Were probably going to revisit that [contract extension] before the season starts, Earnhardt said Friday during a teleconference with reporters. Ive told you guys that before I got sick, me and Rick had been sitting down and talking about our future and the extension and what we wanted to do, and all that stuff was starting to come together.Were going to revisit that here shortly. Thats definitely something on our list to get done.Earnhardt spent the past five months doing exercises to help with his balance and reaction time, as well as his vision. He suffered from a lack of gaze stability -- the ability to move and remain focused at an object in the distance.Dr. Micky Collins, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Sports Medicine Concussion Program, oversaw Earnhardts treatment. Collins also oversaw Earnhardts treatment from a concussion in 2012, when he missed two races after two concussions over six weeks.The hit at Michigan did not appear overly harsh, and Collins said earlier this year that the goal was to make Earnhardt able to handle such an accident without suffering concussion symptoms. Earnhardt said Friday he believes hes at that point.I wouldnt be coming back to the seat and wanting to drive and excited about driving cars if there was any risk other than the typical risk that every driver faces on Sunday, said Earnhardt, who also suffered two concussions early in his career. I feel very coonfident in what Ive seen in myself, my improvement and I feel confident in what my doctors tell me about my future.ddddddddddddEarnhardt said he does not expect he will have to undergo additional tests because of his concussion history if he gets into a crash, other than the evaluation given to any other driver.I have a personal responsibility to myself, to be smart, make great decisions for myself, Earnhardt said. My health is No. 1. ... Im not going to take any unnecessary risks with my own health.The driver said beyond having a new helmet, he also has not changed any of his safety devices inside the race car.I feel real good about what we have [in the car], he said. I did get my head scanned for a new helmet, but thats just supposed to make it fit better, be more comfortable.During the test Wednesday, Earnhardt would drive the car for 15-30 laps and then would be evaluated by his doctor during a 20-minute break. The test lasted about five hours, and Earnhardt said it helped him build his confidence.A lot of things he was checking -- visual and balance and so forth -- actually strengthened throughout the process [as] you sort of get acclimated and up to speed with what it takes to kind of drive a race car, Earnhardt said.Hendrick said having Earnhardt out of the car kind of deflates the place -- and now that he is back ready to race, it has reinvigorated the organization. Earnhardt has 26 career Cup wins and has won NASCARs most popular driver award for 14 consecutive years.Earnhardt will test again Jan. 31-Feb. 1 at Phoenix International Raceway.Im just glad to have had the opportunity to get so much time between [now] and the events I had last year and the symptoms, Earnhardt said.Thats something that I think is really important for everyone going forward, is that they take the amount of time that they need not to just get symptom-free but to allow themselves to heal and get stronger. We still have a couple of more months of my brain being able to sturdy itself up [before racing again]. ' ' '
