Dale Morris couldnt quite believe what was happening as he watched his beloved Western Bulldogs unravel at the end of a dismal 2014 season.Skipper Ryan Griffen and coach Brendan McCartney had departed Whitten Oval suddenly, with long-time teammates Adam Cooney and Shaun Higgins also jumping ship.A stunned Morris got good mate Jordan Roughead on the phone.There was a bit going on ... we were reading things as they popped up in the media, Morris said.Roughy and I spoke on the phone and it was almost disbelief at what was happening to the club at that time.There was a lot of unknowns and a lot of uncertainty around what was happening, but the clubs made some really good decisions since that time.It was an interesting time but its all worked out.Morris couldnt have known the Dogs would undergo a such a dramatic reversal of fortune to break their 55-year grand final drought just two seasons after that incredulous phone call.The 33-year-old has no doubt the appointment of Luke Beveridge and the ascension of Bob Murphy to the captaincy were the best of those good decisions.Bevo coming in as the coach at that time really brought the group together, he said.Its been galvanised since that point.Morris sentiments are wholeheartedly echoed by club president Peter Gordon.I couldnt be prouder of Bevo and Bob Murphy, who are the two men I credit more than anyone else for the turnaround in this club in the last two years, Gordon said.I do lay claim to saying very early on in 2015 that in the Luke Beveridge-Robert Murphy combination we had two of the outstanding coaches and captains respectively of the modern era.I did expect that we would make dramatic improvements.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Mos a go for individual drills. Fully participating in a practice might not be too far off.The New York Jets activated defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson from the physically unable to perform list Tuesday after he missed the start of training camp while rehabilitating from a broken leg.Wilkerson was limited to participating in just defensive line drills, with the next step being team drills.Im glad to be off the PUP list, Wilkerson said after practice. I did some position drills and were just taking it slow.He isnt expected to play in the preseason opener Thursday night against Jacksonville, but coach Todd Bowles wouldnt rule it out.Well see how he looks, Bowles said. Hes scheduled to play. Well see how many plays we may give him or may not give him. He may or may not play. Hes in pads. Were going to see what he does (Wednesday). Were going to let him run around a little bit. If we can steal a rep or two, well play him and, if not, well sit him out.Wilkerson broke his right leg in the season finale against Buffalo last December. He had a career-high 12 sacks last season and was selected for his first Pro Bowl, but couldnt play because of the injury.He had surgery performed by Dr. Robert Anderson, a renowned Charlotte, North-Carolina-based orthopedist, during the winter. Wilkerson then spent the past several months rehabbing, posting videos throughout the offseason of an increased workload that included running on a treadmill.It was my first major injury, so it could be frustrating at times, Wilkerson said. With the rehab process and my teammates reaching out to me and visiting me, that helped me to just have the mental toughness. Im just glad that process is almost over and Im back to being a full go.Wilkersons teammates and coaches were excited to have him back on the field and participating in practice after months of uncertainty. He also broke down the defensive huddle, reeceiving handshakes and high-fives from everyone around him.ddddddddddddIt was really good, defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers said. It was uplifting.Wilkerson received a contract extension two weeks before training camp began, a deal worth more than $85 million that included $37 million in guarantees through the first two years.Right tackle Breno Giacomini (back) and wide receiver Devin Smith (knee) are the Jets only remaining players on active/PUP.It was good to see him out there, Bowles said of Wilkerson. He needs to get his feet under him. Hes in shoulder pads for the first time in a while, so its going to take a little while to get in shape. He bounced around pretty good, so it was good to see him in pads and a helmet.Game notes Bowles said he and his assistants have not yet decided what the breakdown of playing time will be for the Jets four quarterbacks in the preseason opener. ...

LG James Carpenter sat out with a sore leg. ... RB Matt Forte (hamstring) remains out and wont play against the Jaguars. Theres probably a timetable, but its definitely nowhere right now, Bowles said. We havent even played a game yet. A lot of people get tweaks in their (hamstrings) and leg injuries and all of that. Then you wait to see until after the last preseason game to see who surfaces the next week. Matts a pro. Hes been doing this for a long time. We trust that hes going to have himself in shape. ...
