Allen was trying to scramble for a first down on the second play of the fourth quarter when Patriots defensive back Jonathan Jones knocked him down with a helmet-to-helmet hit. Allen walked off the field, and later jogged to the locker room for further evaluation. Coach Sean McDermott shared the bad news after the game. “Josh Allen is in the concussion protocol," McDermott said. “It’s disappointing because there’s no room for that kind of play in the NFL....

Hamilton has been limited to pinch-hitting duty since surgery Sept. 11 but has been shagging fly balls in batting practice. Manager Jeff Banister wouldn’t say if Hamilton would need to prove he can play the outfield to be on a postseason roster. “Every step that he does make in the positive direction benefits us and him,” Banister said. “The benchmark is how well he shows up every day. A lot of this is to tolerance....

A Taiwanese lawmaker told Newsweek the initiative by Missouri’s junior senator could plug a “most dangerous” gap in the coming years, before the island nation completes its long-awaited defense modernization program, while Republicans and Democrats coalesce around a growing bipartisan consensus on the urgency of deterrence in the Taiwan Strait.

Josh, meet Jason Smith, journeyman NBA big man now playing for the Knicks. While that was bad enough, things got even worse for Josh. Cole Aldrich(!) said “Get that weak stuff outta here” when Smith tried another slam. Ree-jected. (Getty Images) The send-backs were part of an atrocious shooting night for Josh Smith: 2-for-17, although just 0-for-1 from 3. But hey, at least he got a rebound out of the deal....

Anderson has emerged as ESPN’s most original and incisive voice during coverage of the Colin Kaepernick controversy. Woody makes frequent appearances on “Mike & Mike” in the morning.

The Washington Nationals did the unthinkable on Tuesday, trading star outfielder to the Padres for a package of prospects and major leaguers. The move signals a truly one-of-a-kind deal involving a superstar player at a tremendously young age, who’s under team control for the next two seasons. Soto reportedly walked away from a 15-year, $440 million contract extension offer from Washington, casting doubt over his future in a Nats uniform....

Happy, a 48-year-old Asian elephant, has been in the spotlight for some animal rights activists for several years now and garnered attention from celebrities and politicians after animal rights groups alleged that the pachyderm is lonely.

They argued that because Happy is an intelligent being, the elephant should be able to sue under habeas corpus rights that protect against unlawful imprisonment....

The Michigan Court of Appeals confirmed an earlier decision to dismiss a case against Simon by an Eaton County judge. It was decided in a 3-0 vote that there was not enough evidence to send her to trial. “The historical background supports that the goal was to exact retribution for MSU’s failure to stop Nassar rather than to pursue justice for criminal wrongdoing,” Gleicher said in a 14-page opinion. “Dr....

They called out a heat and air company,” Nichols Hills Police Chief Steven Cox told News 9....

The injury appeared to be non-contact, which can often be the most dangerous. Not a lot is known about the injury as the Patriots are waiting until Edelman undergoes an MRI to confirm the extent of the damage. But after the game, reports began circulating that the injury is believed to be a torn ACL, which would be the Patriots’ worst fear. 2017 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker | Top 200...

Lunar eclipses—of which there are three main kinds (total, partial and penumbral)—only occur when the moon is full. During the full moon lunar phase, the Earth is located directly between the sun and our natural satellite in space. Penumbral eclipses are far more subtle than either total or partial lunar eclipses. The former occurs when the more diffuse, outer part of Earth’s shadow —known as the penumbra—falls on the face of the moon....

South Korean national team manager Kim In-sik told Yonhap News Agency that he is aware of “worsening public opinion” surrounding the Pirates infielder. MORE: Most heinous crimes connected to athletes “[Kang] is a great player, but I’ve started to wonder if it’s worth the trouble taking him to the WBC (amid falling public opinion),” Kim told Yonhap. “Personally, I am leaning toward taking Kang off the roster.” Kang was arrested in early December for fleeing the scene after causing an accident while driving under the influence in Seoul....

Jozy Altidore, Bobby Wood, Christian Pulisic, Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Fabian Johnson, Matt Besler, John Brooks, Omar Gonzalez, Timmy Chandler, Tim Howard.

She also had signed documents acknowledging her training....

He just released his fourth solo CD, the guitar-blazing “Rock N Roll.” It’s a tip of the hat to his ’80s rock heroes, and a sonic shift from his other critically lauded records. It’s a move that may alienate fans. “I don’t really want to speculate on why people hate me because I make rock records,” he says. “It’s really confusing and destructive that I continually have to defend myself....

Had Alito really gone off the rails? And in a public speech? I decided to track down this putatively offensive address and see for myself, having come to expect a considerable dissonance between reports about a conservative event and the thing itself. As it turns out, this speech was no exception. Alito’s primary theme was the restrictions on constitutionally guaranteed freedoms—especially of religion, assembly and speech—that have intensified during the pandemic....
