FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Could the door be open for quarterback Tim Tebow to return to the New England Patriots? Patriots coach Bill Belichick on Monday declined to rule out bringing back the popular but underperforming quarterback some time this season, noting that its not uncommon for him to re-sign a player hes already cut. "I dont know whats going to happen during the year, but certainly weve had a lot of players whove left here and come back here," Belichick told reporters in his first comments since releasing Tebow on Saturday. "Thats already happened multiple times this year." The Patriots have only two quarterbacks on the active roster. If starter Tom Brady or backup Ryan Mallett is injured, they would need another. The decision to go with two quarterbacks, as the team has done in the past, was "cause we thought it was the best thing for the team." Tebow was released Saturday when NFL teams were required to cut their rosters to 53 players. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner was 11 for 30 for 145 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in three exhibition games. The Patriots commonly bring back players after releasing them. In fact, on Monday they re-signed cornerback Marquice Cole just one day after releasing him. "There are a million things that go into every decision, personnel decision," Belichick said. "There are a lot of things that play off one another. In the end, we did what we thought was best for the team, at every position, every one." Also Monday, Belichick said tight end Rob Gronkowski is "definitely moving forward" after an off-season of surgeries. Belichick would not elaborate on the future for the two-time Pro Bowl selection, who practiced in full pads Sunday for the first time since having back surgery, taking part in drills with his teammates during the 15 minutes reporters were allowed to observe the start of practice. "This is his first opportunity to be in pads," Belichick said. "So, yes, hes definitely moving forward." Gronkowski, who was back on the field on Monday, has had four operations this year, three on his broken left forearm and one on his back; he also had forearm surgery last year after breaking it on Nov. 18 while blocking on an extra point against the Indianapolis Colts. Gronkowski isnt expected to ready for the opener, but Belichick decided not to place him on the physically unable to perform list, which would have required him to miss at least the first six games of the season. Belichick repeatedly declined to elaborate on Gronkowskis timetable. "We take it day to day," the coach said. "Evaluate tomorrow based on how today goes, see how it goes. See how tomorrow goes and deal with whatever that day is, Wednesday or Thursday or whatever the day is. Well take it day to day. Its the same way we do with everybody." Gronkowski has caught 187 passes for 38 touchdowns in three NFL seasons despite missing the last five regular-season games in 2012. Last years other star tight end, Aaron Hernandez, is being held without bail on a murder charge. Cole, released on Sunday, has played four seasons with the New York Jets and Patriots. He played in 14 games last year in New England and finished with 12 tackles, one interception, three passes defenced and seven special teams tackles. The Patriots also released offensive lineman Josh Kline on Monday and re-signed rookie WR Quentin Sims to the practice squad. Sims joined the Patriots as a rookie free agent and was cut on Aug. 31.

Sam Edney, Alex Gough and Justin Snith, all from Calgary, and Tristan Walker of Cochrane, Alta., joined forces to win silver in two minutes 44.499 seconds. "We had a race full of little mistakes from all three sleds including Sam bumping the wall off the start. Having made mistakes, and to still finish second, shows the class these three sleds are sliding in right now," said Canada head coach Wolfgang Staudinger. "It was another great day and we are happy with how things are going." Germany finished on top at 2:42.781, while Italy took bronze in 2:44.681. It was the third silver for the Canadian foursome in the team relay this year. "It gets tighter and tighter every week and less room for mistakes," said Staudinger. "Nothing is a guarantee in this race. Can very easily be standing in fourth and not very happy. Thats what makes this event so exciting. With three sleds there is lots of room for error, but our results show we are definitely in the game." The team competition consists of one female sled, one male sled and one doubles team sled. Each athlete completes one run for a commbined final time.dddddddddddd The event will make its Olympic debut next month at the Sochi Games. In singles competition, Felix Loch of Germany easily won his third World Cup luge race of the season , posting the fastest heat in both runs and beating Italys Armin Zoeggeler by nearly a second. Loch finished in 1:38.266 seconds. Zoeggelers time was 1:39.129 and Switzerlands Gregory Cariget was third in 1:39.203. Only five sliders in the 32-man field finished within a second of Loch, the defending Olympic champion and current World Cup points leader. Chris Mazdzer of the U.S. had major trouble in his first run, then had the third-best time in the second heat of 49.697 seconds to finish 21st overall. Tucker West was 23rd for the U.S., and Aidan Kelly failed to finish his first heat. Mazdzer remained fifth in the overall points standings. Edney finished fifth in 1:39.232. "Sam is so close to breaking through and getting onto the podium," Staudinger said. "He is no different than Alex a few years ago and the doubles this year. When you finish in that group consistently, it is just a matter of time until the ball starts rolling and it happens. He was very close today to it being his day." Calgarys Mitchel Malyk was 20th (1:40.204). ' ' '
