OXNARD, Calif. Hector Herrera Jersey . -- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick is getting a four-game suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. Team owner Jerry Jones told reporters at a media party in Malibu, California, on Monday night that Scandrick tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and lost an appeal on the ban. Scandrick will be eligible to return Oct. 5 against Houston. He will miss the opener against San Francisco, and his final game on the sidelines will be against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, who set an NFL record with 40 first downs against Dallas last year. The Cowboys are practicing with Oakland on Tuesday and Wednesday at training camp in Oxnard. They break camp Friday. Scandrick, who is going into his seventh season, became a starter last year when former top 10 pick Morris Claiborne struggled. Now Claiborne is battling tendinitis in his right knee and missed the preseason opener for the third time in his three seasons in Dallas. Brandon Carr, the other starter, missed the first two weeks of camp to be with his mother in the final days of her battle against breast cancer. He might only play one preseason game but is expected to be ready for the regular season. The Cowboys had to sign two defensive backs just to get through the preseason opener against the Chargers last week. Theyre likely to keep scouring the waiver wire, perhaps even looking for a veteran to give them depth while Scandrick is out. B.W. Webb, a fourth-round pick last year, hasnt shown that hes ready to be a starter. Terrance Mitchell, a rookie seventh-round pick out of Oregon, could get a longer look while Scandrick is sidelined.

The tournament was set to be held Sept. 15-21 and would have been the first ATP tournament held in Israel since 1996. But amid Israels military campaign against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, ATP President Chris Kermode said "we do not feel we can proceed as planned given the situation in the region.VANCOUVER - The San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks have seen plenty of each other with three prior meetings already this season. Following tonights battle in Vancouver, they wont see each other again this season unless they meet in the playoffs. The Sharks bested the Canucks twice during their 6-0 start to the season, recording a pair of 4-1 wins. The two opened the season against each other in San Jose before meeting seven days later in Vancouver. The Canucks finally got some payback last Thursday with a 4-2 win over the Sharks in San Jose, snapping a five-game series losing streak. They have still lost four of the past five encounters at home. Vancouver is comnig off a 1-2-1 four-game road trip, with the lone victory coming in San Jose. They concluded the swing on Sunday with a 3-1 setback versus the Anaheim Ducks. Tom Sestito scored and Eddie Lack had 20 saves. It was a rough trip for Vancouvers top line of Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Ryan Kesler. The Sedin twins were held without a point in the final three contests after both had an assist in the first game, while Kesler had a goal and a helper in the four contests. "Its been a struggle the past few games," Vancouver coach John Tortorella noted of his top line. "We know what they are as people. We know what they are as players. Its been a struggle the past two, three games here. Theyre going to bounce out of it and theyre going to be the players that we know they are." Vancouver will now begin a six-game homestand looking to improve on its 4-3-0 record as the host. With both backups having started their respective clubs previous game, tonights contest should feature San Joses Antti Niemi and Roberto Luongo of Vancouver for the fourrth time this season. Javier Hernandez Jersey. Niemi, who has started 16 of his clubs 18 games this season, has posted a 2.48 goals against average in the three meetings in 2013-14 and is 8-7-2 with a 2.75 GAA in 17 lifetime matchups with the Canucks. Luongo is 10-12-3 with a tie and 2.74 GAA in his career when facing the Sharks with a 3.02 GAA in the three games this season. Thornton (1 goal, 3 assists) and Couture (4a) both have four points this season versus the Canucks, while Marleau has scored twice. Daniel and Henrik Sedin have just one assist each over the previous three meetings, while Kesler is pointless. San Joses loss last week to Vancouver was the lone regulation setback of a five-game slide the club snapped on Tuesday in Calgary. The skid featured an overtime setback and three shootout defeats, but the Sharks managed a 3-2 OT triumph against the Flames. It wasnt pretty as the Sharks blew a two-goal lead in the third period, but escaped with the win when Joe Thorntons shot from the right circle deflected off Brad Stuart and into the net at the 1:13 mark of the extra frame. Thornton got his second assist of the game on the play and has six points over his last five games. Patrick Marleau had a goal and an assist, while Logan Couture also scored and backup netminder Alex Stalock only had to make 11 saves for the win. "I liked that we only gave up 13 shots but its not good that we let them get back into the game in the third," said San Jose head coach Todd McLellan. "But if you look at the whole guy, I thought it was a good effort. It would have been nice to have a few more goals, but the defense was sound." San Jose has now split the first two contests of a five-game road trip. ' ' '
