the playoffs, Masthay was at his best down the stretch las

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former NASCAR driver Mike Wallace still suffers from black floaters in his right eye and still has problems with depth perception from injuries suffered in an alleged assault June 17 following a Rascal Flatts concert.Wallace testified about his injuries Tuesday during the first day of trial for three men charged with misdemeanors for assaulting him, his daughter and his son-in-law. The men -- Paul Lucas, 29, Nathan Lucas, 24, and Randolph Mangum, 23 -- pleaded not guilty during the arraignment prior to the start of the trial.The 57-year-old Wallace also suffered a broken tooth that he still needs to have replaced as well as lacerations in his mouth. His daughter, Lindsey Wallace Van Wingerden, suffered a broken wrist and black eye.On the stand for more than two hours, Wallace testified he doesnt remember the fight itself. He said he saw a man staggering by the bathroom and then later saw him arrive to a group across from his car. Wallace testified he told the group, Howd you like the show? and then when he saw the man, added, Looks like your boy made it back. When told the mans mother was there, he said, Hi, mom, how are you doing?According to Wallaces testimony, one of the other men cursed at him and said, Get the hell out of here, to which Wallace responded, What the hell is going on? What is wrong with you? Wallace said the next thing he remembered was being hurt on the ground.During cross examination, the focus was on Wallaces actions that night. He said he had four drinks -- two at dinner and two during the concert. He said he wasnt inebriated. He had taken anti-anxiety medication earlier in the day, medication that his prescription indicated he was not supposed to mix with alcohol.Wallace was shown a video where he had trouble identifying people by faces but could make assumptions by physique and the color of clothing, which he said appeared to show him in the group getting punched. He testified he did not start the fight.Another issue brought up by the defense was a 2007 assault charge naming Wallace. Wallace said he was not familiar with the charge, nor with a man named Timothy Wayne Coe. Court records show a 2007 assault charge that was later dismissed in North Carolina with Timothy Coe Wayne as the complainant against Wallace.In other testimony, the arresting police officer indicated that he was told the men charged in the fight acted in self-defense. The police investigation report includes three additional victims, including people with the last name Lucas and Mangum.Nicole Melton, a distant relative of Wallaces who was at the concert but didnt know the Wallaces were there, testified about witnessing the commotion and seeing Wallace on the ground unconscious with a bloody face. She did testify that Wallace was highly aggravated after eventually getting up and going to the ambulance, stating that we need to get that [expletive], meaning the man whom he thought was involved in the fight.The trial will continue Wednesday morning.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Veteran Tim Masthays hold on the Green Bay Packers punting job is secure, at least for now.When the team released rookie Peter Mortell, a Green Bay native trying to win the job as an undrafted free agent, it left the veteran Masthay as the teams lone punter entering Thursdays preseason finale at Kansas City.But Packers coach Mike McCarthy stopped short of declaring Masthay as the teams punter for 2016, even though hes held the job for the previous six seasons.Tim Masthay, hes in the drivers seat, McCarthy said Monday. Its important to have a good week of practice and perform in Kansas City, just like everybody. Its a competition to make your team.Both Masthay and Mortell had nine punts in the Packers first three preseason games. Mortell, who played college ball at Minnesota, averaged 42.0 net yards.Masthay averaged 31.6 net, including one punt he had blocked. But Masthay punted more consistently in practice and had better hang times throughout camp.Still he wasnt celebrating anything Monday.We still have a week left in camp. Final cuts are this Saturday, Masthay said, referring to the final roster cut to 53 players.I guess theres two parts to it. One, I dont feel like Ive won anything yet. And two, Im not here to just win a job. ... Im here to help the Packers win football games.After struggling during the second half of the 22014 season, Masthay set a Packers franchise record with a 40.dddddddddddd2-yard net average last season, the fifth time since he won the job as a free agent in 2010 that hed set the team record in that category.Although he was inconsistent in the teams season-ending loss to Arizona in the playoffs, Masthay was at his best down the stretch last season, averaging 44.9 net yards per punt in December.Masthay said he went into the offseason knowing hed face competition in training camp, and he emphasized Monday after Mortells release that he still is competing.In 2008, the Packers kept incumbent punter Jon Ryan at the final cutdown, then decided to release him just days before the regular-season opener.In addition to Mortell, the Packers also announced the release of defensive tackle Demetris Anderson, cornerback Randall Jette, wide receiver Jamel Johnson, linebacker Derrick Mathews and wide receiver Ed Williams.With 82 players on the roster, the Packers will have to make seven more moves to get down to the NFL-mandated 75-player roster limit by Tuesdays deadline. The team will then have until Saturday to get to the 53-player limit.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
