However, he will start at quarterback for Washington on Sunday if Alex Smith isn\u2019t healthy enough to go.<\/p>\n Haskins apologized to teammates, took the first-team snaps in practice and is in line to play against Carolina if needed with the NFC East title potentially at stake \u2014 as long as he doesn\u2019t test positive for the coronavirus. Coach Ron Rivera says Haskins was stripped of his captaincy.<\/p>\n In other NFL news:<\/p>\n \u2014 Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was a full participant in practice less than a week after leaving a game with a groin injury. Carr\u2019s status for Saturday\u2019s game against Miami was in question after he injured his groin on a scramble in the first quarter last Thursday versus the Chargers. He practiced on a limited basis on Tuesday in a sign he could return without missing a game and then was upgraded to a full participant on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u2014 Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon will not make his debut this week after he was placed back on the commissioner\u2019s exempt list. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said he was not at liberty to comment on Gordon\u2019s situation. But the Seahawks went from expecting Gordon to possibly play this week against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday to two days later knowing he\u2019ll be unavailable. One player Seattle won\u2019t have for the rest of the season is cornerback Quinton Dunbar, who will undergo season-ending knee surgery.<\/p>\n \u2014 Jets defensive lineman Quinnen Williams is headed to injured reserve with a neck injury, ending his breakout second NFL season.

Losing the 2019 NHL MVP and leading scorer from the 2020 playoffs is a major blow to the defending Stanley Cup champions.<\/p>\n But they\u2019ll be able to use long-term injury relief from Kucherov\u2019s $9.5 million salary-cap hit to re-sign their final key restricted free agent, center Anthony Cirelli.<\/p>\n In other NHL news:<\/p>\n \u2014 The Devils have re-signed restricted free agent and their No. 1 goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood to a three-year, $8.4 million contract.

He had surgery Monday to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee.<\/p>\n \u2014 The Predators have signed forward Mikael Granlund to a one-year, $3.75 million contract. The move brings him back to the team that traded for him in February 2019.<\/p>\n \u2014 The NHL has postponed the outdoor Stadium Series game in North Carolina that was expected to be played in February. The Carolina Hurricanes had been scheduled to host the annual Stadium Series game on Feb. 20 at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh.

It’s the latest wave of clemency by Trump that benefits longtime associates and supporters. The actions announced Wednesday night bring to nearly 50 the number of people whom the president has granted clemency in the last week. Benefiting are multiple people convicted in the investigation into the Trump campaign\u2019s ties to Russia, plus some of the president’s legally troubled allies from Congress and other felons whose causes have been championed by friends.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump\u2019s new demand of $2,000 aid checks to Americans is threatening to tank a big year-end COVID relief bill. It’s also posing an uncomfortable test of allegiance for Republicans who reject such spending. On Thursday, House Democrats will all but dare Republicans to break with Trump, calling up his proposal for a Christmas Eve vote. GOP lawmakers are poised to object, offering their own proposal to cut foreign aid. Trump assailed the bipartisan $900 billion package, and suggested he may not sign it. His objection also threatens a government shutdown. House Democrats are considering stopgap funds to keep government running.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CALAIS, France (AP) \u2014 Trucks inched slowly past checkpoints in the port Dover and headed across the English Channel to Calais, after France partially reopened its borders with Britain following a scare over a rapidly spreading new virus variant. Thousands of truckers and travellers remain trapped in mass gridlock at Dover port on Christmas Eve, held up by slow delivery of coronavirus tests. Anyone entering France from Britain now requires a negative test to proceed. Nations around the world began barring people from Britain over the weekend amid concerns about a new version of the virus. The announcement added to anxieties at a time when Europe has been walloped by soaring new virus infections and deaths.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (AP) Serbia\u2019s Prime Minister Ana Brnabic was the first to get vaccinated against the coronavirus in a show to the generally skeptical population in the Balkan country that the vaccine is safe. She and another Serbian government minister received the first shots of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by BioNTech and Pfizer on a live TV broadcast on Thursday in what marked the start of the vaccination campaign in the country of 7 million people. Those older than 70 in nursing homes are to follow. Polls show that a large segment of Serbia\u2019s population is prone to different conspiration theories and is reluctant to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) \u2014 Tunisian authorities say 20 African migrants have been found dead after their boat, which was trying to reach Europe, sank in the Mediterranean Sea. Five survivors were rescued Thursday and authorities are searching for up to 20 others believed missing. The defense ministry spokesman says Tunisian coast guard boats and local fishermen found the bodies off the coastal city of Sfax in central Tunisia. According to the survivors, the boat was carrying about 40 or 50 people heading toward Italy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (AP) Shares are mostly higher in thin Christmas Eve trading, despite President Donald Trump’s threat not to sign a major economic stimulus package approved by Congress this week. Benchmarks rose in Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney. Stocks fell in Shanghai after China\u2019s market regulator said it has launched an anti-monopoly investigation of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, stepping up official efforts to tighten control over the country\u2019s fast-growing tech industries. The S&P 500 inched up 0.1% on Wednesday, enough to break a three-day losing streak. Investors seem to have shrugged off Trump’s suggestion he may not sign the $900 billion economic rescue package that Congress just approved.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) \u2014 One of the people President Donald Trump pardoned this week is a wealthy real estate executive, Charles Kushner, who is the father of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The elder Kushner served jail time after pleading guilty in 2005 to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. The case was made for tabloid headlines. Prosecutors said that when Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was cooperating with federal authorities, he hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law. Kushner then arranged to have a recording of the encounter sent to his own sister, the man\u2019s wife. The White House didn’t mention Kushner’s personal connection to Trump when announcing the pardon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… .WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT THURSDAY\u2026EXPIRED Forecast… REST OF TODAY…Sunny.
