CLEVELAND -- Joe Thomas has finally given the Cleveland Browns something to celebrate during a ghastly season.One of the games elite left offensive tackles, Thomas was selected to his 10th consecutive Pro Bowl on Tuesday night, becoming just the fifth player in NFL history to be selected 10 straight times to open a career.Thomas, who has not missed a single snap since he was drafted in 2007, also holds the team record for most Pro Bowls, a mark he previously shared with Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Lou Groza.Its always an honor to be recognized by the fans, coaches and your peers, Thomas said. It is a feeling that never gets old. When I think about Jim Brown and Lou Groza, I think about not just two of the greatest Browns, but two of the greatest players to ever suit up in the NFL. Its humbling to be mentioned in the same sentence as them. Those guys helped the Browns capture championships and that is one of my goals.Individual recognition is always nice, but I would trade it all for team success and that is what we work toward every day.At 0-14, the Browns and their fans have had little to cheer about this season. Thomas, though, is a light in the darkness.All right! coach Hue Jackson said on the prospect of Thomas being honored. Something to get excited about.Thomas joined Hall of Famers Merlin Olsen (14), Mel Renfro (10), Barry Sanders (10) and Lawrence Taylor (10) as the only players to make the Pro Bowl in each of their first 10 seasons.A three-time Walter Payton Man of the Year honoree, Thomas has been on the field for all 9,791 offensive snaps since the Browns made him the No. 3 overall pick in 2007. Hes started 158 games, doing so despite injuries that may have sidelined other players.Beyond his success on the field, Jackson credits Thomas as one of the players who have kept the Browns together during the worst season in the teams 66-year history.Theres situations where youd have a guy maybe that could be going to his 10th Pro Bowl that says, `Im doing my part. You guys figure it out, quarterback Josh McCown said.And Joe is not that way. He leads the groups. Hes involved in every meeting. Hes engaged, steps up and speaks and shares whats on his heart if he needs to.Thats what makes him special and I certainly believe its why were all still locked in, because you look no further than Joe to know if that guys going to his 10th straight Pro Bowl and regardless of the record, hes still putting it on the line and preparing, then I ought to do that.Hes a heckuva inspiration to a lot of guys.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Rams Jerseys China .

CHICAGO -- Atlanta Braves right-hander Julio Teheran is expected to make his next start after recovering from an infection in his right thigh.Braves interim manager Brian Snitker confirmed that Teheran will be able to start Saturday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox in the second game of their three-game series.Teheran (3-7, 2.72 ERA) returned to Atlanta earlier in the week to undergo treatment for the infection from an ingrown hair, which forced him to miss Wednesdays start against the Phillies. He threw a side session on Thursday.Everythings really good, Snitker said. Hes running around and doing all his pregame stuff. Hell be ready to go.Teheran has never faced the White Sox. If all goes well Saturday and from there forward, Teheran -- the Braves lone All-Star selection -- could also pitch in the midsummer classic on Tuesday in San Diego.Im happy to be back (as an All-Star), Teheran told MLB.com. Last year, I couldnt make it because I was struggling, but Im glad to be back at that game. Whenever you make it the first time, you just want to keep being an All-Star.In his last start, Teheran allowed five runs and 11 hits in 6 2/3 innings against the Miami Marlins on July 1 before the discomfort from the infection worsened Sunday.Ive never gotten that many (antibiotic) shots in my life, Teheran said. I dont know how I got (the infection), but Im glad we got it before it got worse.Atlanta was playing at their fifth ballpark in seven days on Friday. They faced the Marlins in Miaami before that series moved to Fort Bragg, N.ddddddddddddC., last Sunday for the first major league game on an active military base.Then the Braves headed to Philadelphia for a three-game series against the Phillies, and made up a rainout against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday at Wrigley Field. After beating the Cubs 4-3 in 11 innings after midnight Friday, the Braves traveled across town to open the series against the White Sox.When we went into this I said were going to need an All-Star break to recover from this with different game times and travel and whatnot, Snitker said. Its been a tough go, but thats what we do.The Braves (30-57) have won two straight after losing four in a row. They opened their series against the White Sox with an 11-8 victory Friday.The guys were really aggressive and had a good approach, Snitker said.For the White Sox, left-hander Jose Quintana (6-8, 3.06 ERA) will start. He ended a seven-game losing streak Sunday when he limited the Houston Astros to a run and two hits in seven innings.The White Sox have scored just 13 runs in his last 10 starts. They tallied four runs to beat the Astros.Good reaction, Quintana told MLB.com. More runs. Sometimes I wait for them. Today, the lineup made a good effort.In his lone career start against Atlanta on July 21, 2013, Quintana allowed a run and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings for a victory. ' ' '
