Allen was running a short route in the second quarter when he pulled up lame at the end of it. He immediately grabbed the back of his left leg, which is usually indicative of a hamstring issue. Allen left the game, and the Chargers initially announced he was “questionable” to return because of a hamstring injury. The team later said that Allen had been downgraded to out. At the time of Allen’s exit, he was leading the team with four catches and 66 receiving yards....

Ingenuity helped Larry Edwards and the soldiers of the Mississippi National Guard’s 223rd Engineer Combat Battalion beat the heat.

Matt Kenseth, the other driver who still had an outside chance at the championship, had a car that could have capitalized on any misfortune for Jimmie Johnson at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The bill passed through the committee unanimously, with one senator hesitant about expanding the list of felonies in the state. Senate Bill 23 would equate the other thefts to stealing USPS mail and be punishable by up to five years in prison, according to the Associated Press. State Senator David Yates, a Democrat and sponsor of the bill, said in the committee Thursday that most thefts below $1,000 in value are misdemeanors in Kentucky, and even if victims have surveillance video capturing the “porch pirates” in the act, the cases are often taken less seriously by authorities, the Herald reported....

While the 2019 race is the 145th “Run for the Roses,” only 13 horses have gone on to pull off the trifecta.

“There’s going to be multiple families that we’ve lost,” Beshear said in an interview with CNN on Friday morning. “Kids that won’t get the opportunity to grow up and experience so much that we have.

Over the past week, Booker has received a wave of endorsements from Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and two of Kentucky’s highest-circulation newspapers. “Right now, he’s got the clear momentum,” said Christian Motley, a Democratic strategist from Lexington. “We’re a week and a half out from primary day and we’ve got a race on our hands.” Al Cross, a longtime Kentucky political commentator, agreed that Booker is “the candidate of the moment”—not only because of the endorsements but also because of his response to protests for police reform....
