LAS VEGAS (AP) — New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will undergo an MRI on Monday after injuring his right knee in Sunday’s 30-6 loss at the Las Vegas Raiders.Coach Brian Daboll said an X-ray showed “nothing wrong,” but would wait until the results of additional tests before making any definitive judgments.“We’ll see where it’s at,” Daboll said.Jones went down awkwardly on the first play of the second quarter and untouched while dropping back to pass and then grabbed his knee. He first injured it on the final play of the first quarter, going down untouched before Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby touched him down.Daboll said Jones said at the time it “felt like it buckled,” but nevertheless thought he could return to open the second quarter.Jones was taken to the blue injury tent and replaced by Tommy DeVito.

China Premier Li seeks to bolster his country’s economic outlook at Shanghai trade fair

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:22 GMT

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Sunday pledged to continue deepening reforms, expand free trade zones and relax market access for foreign investment while seeking to generate excitement around a largely lackluster economy. Li made the remarks when delivering a keynote speech at the opening of the 6th China International Import Expo in Shanghai, seeking to draw thousands of foreign businesses shopping for Chinese products and looking to expand trade and investment with the world’s second-largest economy. China’s economy expanded at a 4.9% annual pace between July-September, beating analysts’ forecasts of about 4.5%, official data show. But that was much slower than the 6.3% annual growth rate of the previous quarter.The Chinese government has adopted various policies to help the economy; raising spending on building ports and other infrastructure, cutting interest rates and easing curbs on home-buying. But economists say wider reforms are needed to addre...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:22 GMT

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza lost communications Sunday in its third total outage of the Israel-Hamas war, while Israel’s military said it encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two.“Today there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against the Hamas militant group ruling the enclave. Israeli media reported troops were expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.The “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza, reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by Palestinian telecom company Paltel, made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.“We have lost communication with the vast majority of the UNRWA team members,” U.N. Palestinian refugee agency spokesperson Juliette Touma told The Associated Press. The first Gaza outage lasted 36...

El debate sobre el aborto y las elecciones en Virginia

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:22 GMT

Las curules de la Asamblea General de Virginia están en juego en las elecciones del 7 de noviembre, y la mirada de la legislatura hacia temas como el aborto podrían ser exponencialmente distintas dependiendo de quien se alza con el control de la cámara y el senado local. “Virginia es un estado clave porque es el único estado del sur donde actualmente no hay una restricción o prohibición del aborto, entonces no solo protege los derechos reproductivos de las personas en Virginia sino de toda una region”, dijo Alejandra Soto, de la organización Planned Parenthood Action Fund. El debate continúa, y el estado hoy más que nunca es protagonista.“Yo soy provida, y pienso que el aborto despues de ciertas semanas es un crimen porque los bebes pueden sentir el dolor”, dijo Art Estopinan, un analista republicano. “Los democratas no estamos promoviendo el aborto. Queremos que la mujer haga sus propias decisiones, que no sea una política machista diciéndole que es lo que tiene que hacer...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Fans of the Tennessee Lady Vols never forget where someone played college, especially not a player that beat their beloved team. On Sunday night, they roared when Brittney Griner was introduced as a starter for the U.S. women’s national team before an exhibition. “I actually talked to people that said they were coming specifically to see her and to watch her play,” Tennessee coach Kellie Harper said. “And they had become fans throughout her challenges in the last year or so, and I was really happy for that team to feel that from our fans.”The only other player to come close to a similar ovation was five-time Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi despite her playing in college at UConn — the biggest rival for the No. 11 Lady Vols.Sunday night marked Griner’s first time playing a game with “USA” on the front of her jersey since celebrating winning her second Olympic gold medal in August 2021 at the Tokyo Games.

Panthers rookie QB Bryce Young places blame squarely on himself after throwing two pick-6s in loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:22 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Bryce Young isn’t playing the blame game.Yes, the rookie quarterback has been under constant pressure all season, sacked 26 times and hit 53 times in his seven NFL starts. And outside of veteran Adam Thielen, the depth is thin at wide receiver and tight end. And the Panthers’ running game has been sporadic at best this season.All of that would make it easy for the No. 1 overall pick to complain about his current circumstances.But Young said Sunday’s 27-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, a game in which two of his three interceptions were returned for touchdowns by Kenny Moore, are squarely on him.“I turned the ball over three times and two of them turned into 14 points, and that’s how you lose a game,” Young said. “Everyone else around me did a great job and it’s on me. It is what it is, and I have to be better. But no one is going to feel sorry for me and no one is going to feel sorry for us.”The last part is certainly true for Thursday nigh...
