FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed will be sidelined against the Denver Broncos on Sunday as he continues to recover from a concussion.Coach Robert Saleh announced Friday that Reed still had not cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol, leaving the Jets without one of their key defensive leaders when they face Russell Wilson and the Broncos.Saleh wouldn’t reveal who would start in Reed’s place opposite Sauce Gardner, but nickelback Michael Carter II and former starter Bryce Hall could be options. Backup cornerback Brandin Echols will also miss the game with a hamstring injury.“We’ll see,” Saleh said. “We have a plan, and we’ll wait until Sunday.”Reed had a Pro Bowl-caliber year last season, when he was a bit overshadowed by Gardner, who was the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. The two give the Jets arguably the best cornerback combination in the league. “D.J. is a special football player,” Saleh said. “He alleviates some of the pr...

___A surge of hiring in September defies predictions, pointing to US job market’s enduring resilienceWASHINGTON (AP) — An unforeseen burst of hiring last month has lifted hopes that the economy will prove durable once again, even as an array of threats lie ahead. Businesses across the U.S. economy ramped up their hiring in September, defying surging interest rates, financial market turmoil, the ongoing threat of a government shutdown and an uncertain outlook to add the most jobs in any month since January. The hiring binge confounded expectations for a slowdown and added one more layer of complexity to the Federal Reserve’s high-wire effort to defeat inflation without causing a recession. The 336,000 jobs that were added in September raised the average gain for the past three months to a robust 266,000.___Auto workers stop expanding strikes against Detroit Three after GM makes battery plant concessionDETROIT (AP) — The United Auto Workers union says it will not expand its strikes ag...

LYON, France (AP) — Damian Penaud extended his try-scoring streak to seven matches as Rugby World Cup host France blew apart Italy 60-7 to reach the quarterfinals in style on Friday.France topped Pool A ahead of New Zealand and will likely meet defending champion South Africa in the last quarterfinal next weekend. New Zealand will probably have to play top-ranked Ireland.How Pool B shakes out depends on the Ireland-Scotland match on Saturday at Stade de France.Italy was smashed by New Zealand 96-17 last week and was pumped up to rebound against its neighbor. But France, even without injured linchpin Antoine Dupont, was ready after a two-week break and took less than two minutes to score the first of its eight tries in a hugely impressive performance.Les Tricolores equalled their highest score against Italy from 1967 and achieved the greatest margin ever. Only eight months ago in the Six Nations, France won 29-24.Of course, Penaud got the first try, off his wing. Following pick-and-g...

(CNN) — Hunter Biden pedirá a un juez que desestime la acusación federal en su contra por cargos relacionados con armas, informaron sus abogados en documento judicial presentado la noche de este jueves.La defensa indicó que pedirá que se desestime el caso porque, en su opinión, al fiscal especial David Weiss se le prohibió presentar la acusación de un acuerdo previo.“Hunter Biden sostiene que sigue vigente el Acuerdo de Desvío ‘independiente’ y ‘bilateral’ que ambas partes firmaron, y buscará desestimar la acusación en su contra en conformidad con las disposiciones de inmunidad de ese Acuerdo”, escribió el abogado de Biden, Abbe Lowell, en el documento.El miércoles, Weiss dijo en un documento que el “Acuerdo de Desvío propuesto” no fue firmado por un funcionario judicial como se requiere y, por lo tanto, “no entró en vigor”. Las dos partes han estado discutiendo durante los últimos dos meses sobre si el acuerdo para resolver el delito de armas sig...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:03:28 GMT

There are thousands of blighted, abandoned and vacant properties all over Prince George’s County, Maryland. But exactly how many there are, and where they are, isn’t known by the county. And the agency tasked with enforcing upkeep of those thousands has all of four people to handle it all.That’s some of the information that came out of a county council committee hearing Thursday, as county lawmakers discussed a bill to help crack down on the eyesore properties.The legislation being pushed by council member Krystal Oriadha starts with the creation of a registry of all the vacant properties around the county. It was assumed there was one, but there isn’t.Leaders in the county’s Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) said they were aware of about 4,500 properties that would make that list, if one existed, but there’s no organized list.“When we talk about development in our communities, making sure that we tackle this vacan...

The Broncos on Friday traded benched pass rusher Randy Gregory to the San Francisco 49ers in a deal that also includes the exchange of 2024 draft picks, with Denver sending over a seventh-round selection for a sixth-round choice.Broncos coach Sean Payton confirmed the trade following Friday’s practice.

He ended up playing in 10 of a possible 21 games for Denver, collecting three sacks and undergoing two surgeries. He was benched last week at Chicago in favor of second-year outside linebacker Nik Bonitto, who had 2½ sacks, including a strip-sack of Justin Fields that led to the tying touchdown in the fourth quarter of Denver’s 31-28 comeb...
