FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Kolton Miller Raiders Jersey . -- For a guy who loves to talk on the field, New Englands Aqib Talib sure has been quiet lately. The Patriots cornerback injured his hip in the Patriots win against New Orleans on Oct. 13 and missed the next three games. He hadnt spoken after practice until Thursday, when he said hes eager to return to the field Monday night for New Englands game against the Carolina Panthers. "Im practicing good," Talib said, with a wide grin. "Day to day. Trying to get back." Fresh off the Patriots bye last week, Talib was a limited participant in Thursdays practice. Thats the same designation hes had for a while, and he said watching his teammates play without him was "the worst thing in the world." Coach Bill Belichick was more candid than usual when asked about the player who leads the team with four interceptions and whos been solely responsible for shutting down some of the leagues elite pass catchers. "Hes continued to progress. Well keep doing, as they can tolerate it, do more and evaluate how they do at a little bit higher level," Belichick said. "Then if that goes well, then ramp it up and see where we are as we go through the week." New Englands secondary withstood the absence of its top playmaker, going 2-1 during the stretch. The Patriots (7-2) could benefit from his return against the Panthers (6-3), who have won five straight games and scored 30 or more points in five of their past seven. "Unbelievable player, happy to have him on the field with us," said defensive end Rob Ninkovich. "I think the guys that stepped in when he was gone, they did a great job, but having him back is just going to help us as far as have more depth and keep guys rolling." Should Talib return for New Englands only Monday night game this season, he likely will be matched up with one of the most successful receivers of the past decade in Steve Smith. Talib, who spent his first four-plus seasons playing in the NFC South with Tampa Bay, is familiar with the flashy veteran. "He brings it every Sunday or Monday or whenever the game is," Talib said. "I think if youre competitive like that, youre going to be pretty successful." Smith has tallied more than 800 receptions and 11,000 yards in his career, and has a team-high 42 catches for 450 yards and three touchdowns this season. Talib knows exactly what to expect from Smith -- his best effort and a lot of chatter. "Youve got a lot of guys who do a lot of talking to (the media), and we get out there and they dont say too much on the field," Talib said. "But Steve is definitely one of those guys, hes going to do it on the field." Not unlike Talib. "Yeah," he said with a smile, "I say a couple words." Shadowing the oppositions top threat is becoming commonplace for Talib. Julio Jones was near the top of the league in every major category when Talib held him to a season-low six catches. He caught just three of his first 10 for 22 yards. The following week, Talibs talents helped limit Cincinnatis A.J. Green to five catches for 61 yards. Green now leads the league in yards and ranks second in receptions. And still to come was his premier performance, spearheading an effort to shut down New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham, who tops all receivers with 10 touchdowns but was held without a catch against New England for the first time in a span of 46 games. Belichick went so far as to compare Talib to former Patriots cornerback Ty Law. "Maybe Ty would be similar in that he was a good corner and you could put him on a lot of players and not maybe feel like you need to give him a lot of help," he said. "I think Talib is a guy that we have a lot of confidence in and probably would treat his matchups a little bit differently than weve treated some other ones in the past."

The six-foot-two, 200-pound defender may not possess the wow-inspiring theatrics of fellow prospect Morgan Rielly, but nonetheless has a chance to contribute with the Leafs when all is said and done this season.MALELANE, South Africa -- Charl Schwartzel and Morten Orum Madsen shared the lead after two rounds at the Alfred Dunhill Championship on Friday and will square off again at the back end of a tournament. Schwartzel lost out to Madsens late surge in the European Tours season-opening South African Open last weekend, but the Alfred Dunhill defending champion shot a second straight 68 at Leopard Creek to draw level with the Dane on 8-under 136 at the halfway stage. Madsen added a 71 to his opening-round 65 to stay on course for a second title in seven days to extend his early lead on the new Race to Dubai. They lead by a shot from Englands Ross Fisher and another Dane, Soren Hansen, who both returned impressive 7-under 65s. John Daly missed the cut in his second tournament back from elbow surgery after a 75 took him to 3 over par for the tournament. Schwartzel joined Madsen at the top of the leaderboard with four birdies and no bogeys in his second round. Kyle Wilber Jersey. . The South African won here by 12 shots last year for his only European Tour victory since his triumph at the 2011 Masters. Having denied Schwartzel in Johannesburg on Sunday for a maiden tour title, Madsen had a tougher time on the second day in northern South Africa with two bogeys and two double bogeys. At one point, he dropped four shots in three holes but also carded an eagle and five birdies to go 1 under on the day. Fisher climbed into contention after four birdies and an eagle in his opening nine, and Hansen had eight birdies overall. Daly, who had surgery on a damaged right elbow tendon in July, started with three bogeys in his opening nine on Friday, then finished with bogey and double bogey to miss out on the second half of the Alfred Dunhill. South Africas Hennie Otto, who sits second behind Madsen in the Race to Dubai, was tied for 12th, four off the pace.
