BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Sabres top-line center Jack Eichel is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a high ankle sprain on Wednesday.The Sabres provided the update hours after Eichel was hurt in the teams final practice before it opens the regular season hosting Montreal on Thursday.As of now, no timetable has been set for his return, the team posted on its Twitter account.On Thursday,?coach Dan Bylsma said that Eichel?will miss weeks and not days.Eichel was in front of the net when he got tangled up with a defenseman and his leg buckled beneath him.He lay on the ice and grabbed his leg in pain as the team circled around him. Eichel was unable to put any weight on his leg as teammates helped him off the ice.The injury occurred with less than 10 minutes remaining in practice, Bylsma said.Its the cusp and eve of starting a new season, one we are all looking forward to, and I think thats why it takes the wind out of the sails of the arena today, Bylsma said.Eichel is key to the Sabres future after being selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft. He is coming off a solid rookie season in which he had 24 goals and 32 assists for 56 points in 81 games.Eichel played one year at Boston University and became the second freshman to win college hockeys top honor, the Hobey Baker Award.You expect to have to deal with injuries throughout the year, Bylsma said. Its one we are going to have to deal with, whatever the extent of the situation is. Our team is not just Jack Eichel, its not just Ryan OReilly.OReilly, the Sabres captain, participated in his first full practice Wednesday since he experienced muscle spasms during his preseason debut last week. He looked good out there, Bylsma said.Forward Kyle Okposo did not practice Wednesday due to a bruised knee and was ruled out on Thursday.Okposo signed a seven-year, $42 million contract with the Sabres in July after eight seasons with the New York Islanders, becoming Buffalos second-highest-paid player, after OReilly, who signed a seven-year, $52 million deal shortly after being acquired in a trade from Colorado last summer.Defenseman Dmitry Kulikov?was also?scratched after hurting his back during a preseason game two weeks ago.

ATLANTA -- Mets general manager Sandy Alderson is defending the teams deal with Tim Tebow, saying the decision is about baseball and not any opportunity to sell merchandise.The 29-year-old Tebow agreed Thursday to a minor league contract that includes a $100,000 signing bonus. He is attempting to launch a baseball career four years after the end of his time as an NFL quarterback.Alderson said Friday it wouldnt be practical to make such a big commitment to Tebow only as an attempt to market Tebows name.I have to tell you that the notion that were going to spend $100,000 on a bonus for a player so we can sell a couple hundred dollars worth of T-shirts in Kingsport, those economics dont work, Alderson said before New Yorks game at Atlanta. This wwas not about making money.ddddddddddddThe opportunity to sell T-shirts and the like is almost non-existent. This was about baseball. This was about giving somebody an opportunity to play.The Mets have a rookie league team in Kingsport, Tennessee.Alderson said signing Tebow was my idea.Why not? he asked. From our standpoint, this is an interesting experiment.Tebow will report Sept. 18 to the Instructional League in Port St. Lucie, Florida. He will test his skills against younger players for three weeks before the Mets determine his next destination.---AP freelance writer Amy Jinkner-Lloyd contributed to this report. ' ' '
