JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was a spectator at practice Wednesday, giving his sprained right shoulder time to heal while insisting he will “do anything I can to be out there and play.”Lawrence wore a wristband and held a play-calling sheet during practice, though, an indication he’s planning to play when the Jaguars (8-7) host Carolina (2-13) on Sunday. But Lawrence acknowledged that this injury is different from the others he’s dealt with this season.“This is a little unique ’cause it’s the throwing shoulder, which can make things a little more challenging as a quarterback,” Lawrence said. “Kind of hard to work around that.”Lawrence sprained his AC joint while diving for a first down on a fourth-and-1 play in the third quarter of Sunday’s 30-12 loss at Tampa Bay. He could barely lift his arm in the locker room after the game.He was ineffective before he got hurt, throwing two interceptions and losing a fum...Man United set to enter a new Ratcliffe era with spotlight on January transfers and Ten Hag’s future

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Fans of Manchester United know 2024 will be anything but boring as the club tries once again to end a period of on-field decline that has lasted 10 years for the record 20-time English league champions.British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe agreed Sunday — Christmas Eve — to buy a minority stake in United. The owner of petrochemicals giant INEOS, and a number of sports teams, will also take charge of United’s soccer operations. The announcement of the deal, worth around $1.6 billion, came more than a year after American owners the Glazers put United up for sale in November 2022. The deal requires Premier League approval.Here’s a look at the people involved and issues likely to be raised by the deal, including the future of United manager Erik ten Hag.JIM RATCLIFFEThe 71-year-old Ratcliffe is one of the richest people in Britain and a boyhood United fan from Greater Manchester.

There are few surprises in the final installment of Best Bets, as most of the players herein have been fixtures throughout the season. It’s time to stick with the players who have been there all season, as we near the end of the fantasy football year. These are my best bets to score in Week 17.___Running BackKYREN WILLIAMS, RAMSWilliams’ fantasy production is consistent, as he had more than 100 yards and a score against New Orleans. He now has five total TDs in his past five games, and he’s set to capitalize this week on a matchup with the Giants, our fourth-best matchup for opposing backs. He’s third in total TDs (12) for RBs, but with four fewer games than the leaders, Williams has -125 odds to score, the second-best odds for any back in WK17. The 36.94% TD dependent Williams has a good chance to reach the end zone against the Giants.CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY, 49ERSIt’s no surprise McCaffrey makes the final list of the season, as he’s been on the list most weeks it seems.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Thousands of Palestinian families fled Wednesday from the brunt of Israel’s expanding ground offensive into Gaza’s few remaining, overcrowded refuges, as the military launched heavy strikes across the center and south of the territory, killing dozens, Palestinian health officials said.On foot or riding donkey carts loaded with belongings, a stream of people flowed into Deir al-Balah — a town that normally has a population of around 75,000. It has been overwhelmed by several hundred thousand people driven from northern Gaza as the region was pounded to rubble.Because U.N. shelters are packed many times over capacity, the new arrivals set up tents on sidewalks for the cold winter night. Most crowded onto streets around the town’s main hospital, Al-Aqsa Martyrs, hoping it would be safer from Israeli strikes.Still, no place is safe in Gaza. Israeli offensives are crowding most of the population into Deir al-Balah and Rafah at the territory’s southern edg...YouTuber ayuda a encontrar restos humanos que se cree pertenecen a un hombre desaparecido desde 2013
