The 23-year-old quarterback is making his return after suffering fractured ribs during the Dolphins 35-0 loss to the Bills in Week 2. Coach Brian Flores confirmed his status on Friday morning ahead of their practice in London. “We’re excited to have Tua back, but there’s 53 guys on the team, 48 will play on game day,” Flores said, per ESPN. “It’s never one person; we have to play together as a team....

The two former West Virginia standouts got a 20-minute session with former Rams All-Pro Isaac Bruce following the team's regular two-hour practice session, Bruce, who caught 1,024 passes for 15,208 yards and 91 TDs in his 16-year career, is in camp for a few days to help coach Jeff Fisher.

Last week, Crowell followed through on that promise with a check for more than $35,000. MORE: NFL Week 5 Power Rankings Sergeant Demetrick Pennie, President of Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation, was reluctant to accept the gift. “I said, ‘Isaiah, why did you send me a check? I told you you didn’t have to send me a check,’’’ Pennie told Cleveland.com. “He said, ‘Sarge, I want to do it. I really want to do it....

It was a stop-start affair as neither team could find their rhythm as mispasses, fouls and free-kicks were the order of the day. The first chance befell the home side when Alfaro’s pass on the turn eventually came to the feet of Rafa Lopez inside the box and the Spanish defender’s shot missed the far corner by a couple of inches. Marcelinho’s free-kick midway through the first half only needed a touch from Rafa inside the box but Karanjit was alert to the danger as he punched the ball out for a corner....

The Punekars have signed German-born Croatian centre-back Damir Grgic who is expected to line-up alongside Rafael Lopez. The club have made some exciting foreign signings in Emiliano Alfaro, Marcelinho and Marcos Tebar among others. They have also retained the services of Jonatan Lucca, who had a poor season last time around. He played 25 games for Slovenian top division side Rudar, who finished seventh last season, and of the 15 games he started, the club kept three clean sheets....

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of Friday’s clash against local rivals Kerala Blasters, the Englishman stated that he knew the importance such fixtures (derbies) play in the minds of the fans. “I’m never satisfied. We sat and spoke to my players and I told them we should have more points. I’ve messed up a couple of times. But I’m delighted with the way our season has gone. Players have worked hard....

Ever since the Indian Super League (ISL) fixtures came out, this match had been marked out as one to watch out for by supporters of both sides, given the recent animosity between the West Block Blues and Manjappada - fan groups of Bengaluru FC and Kerala Blasters respectively. Demand for tickets for the game on 31st December has been high and a sellout crowd was expected. Anticipating a turbulent night on a festive period, Kochi City Police have raised a concern with the ISL authorities regarding the security situation....

The Yellow brigade have failed to make much of an impression this season despite having signed high profile players such as Dimitar Berbatov, Wes Brown, Sandesh Jhingan and Chekiyot Vineeth. After seven matches, they find themselves in the eighth position having picked a mere seven points. What must be pointed is that the club have played five home games and have only won a single tie. After his stint at Manchester United as an assistant coach at the end of 2012-13 season, Meulensteen went on to assist Guus Hiddink at Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala where he went on to take over as manager after Hiddink left....

Emaná joins a long list of new faces in the squad for last year’s semi-finalists. The Mumbai-based franchise has already added the likes of Lucian Goian, Gerson Vieira, Marcio Rosario, Leo Costa, Everton Santos and Rafa Jorda to their ranks ahead of this season’s ISL. The 35-year-old attacking midfielder makes the switch to India after a spell with Spanish side Club Gimnàstic de Tarragona commonly referred to as Gimnàstic. The Cameroonian though is widely remembered for his stints with French side Toulouse and Spanish side Real Betis....

The home side took the lead thanks to some shoddy defensive work by ATK after the hour mark. Jeje Lalpekhlua was left unmarked inside the box from a set-piece while Debjit Majumder went for the ball and failed to get a touch on it. There was literally no defensive organisation which was understandable following the forced substitution of skipper Jordi Figueras. Robbie Keane’s introduction added some much needed bite to ATK’s attack as his movement troubled the opposition defenders....

“Anas realistically will be back against Bengaluru FC. We had an MRI done and we are getting opinions on that,” said the former Kerala Blasters boss. His counterpart Teddy Sheringham too was left unimpressed by the quality of the pitch. “After five minutes we understood this could really be bad for the players. We got one injury. But thankfully others were safe. The pitch was horrendous,” criticised the former Spurs forward....

Ismaila Sarr has proven an eye-catching addition to the club, with the teenage Senegal star already threatening to follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Mane, who has been outstanding for Liverpool this season. Indeed, his career has been a virtual carbon copy of Mane’s to date. Both visited the Generation Foot academy in their homeland before being picked up by Metz and making their breakthroughs before they turned 20....

Bennett met with security officials and announced the closure until further notice after the country saw its fourth deadly attack in three weeks. Palestinian women, children, and men over the age of 40 from the West Bank, however, will be allowed to enter Jerusalem for prayers for the holy month of Ramadan, according to the Associated Press. The shooting took place around 9 p.m. Thursday at a bar on Dizengoff Street, located in the central part of Tel Aviv....

How did Democrats react to Hamas attacking Israel? President Joe Biden called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not to tell him that the United States stands with Israel and supports Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorism, but to lecture him and demand he stop defending Israel against Hamas terrorists. Meanwhile, Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Israel an “apartheid” state. Not to be outdone, Rep. Ilhan Omar denounced Israel for engaging in “terrorism....

It will be able to service 150 patients at a time and includes a triage area, an ER ward, men’s, women’s and children’s wards, labor and delivery facilities, imaging and telehealth technologies, mental health services, a lab, a pharmacy and an outpatient clinic....

During Thursday’s convention of the General Assembly, Erdan criticized the “demonization” of Israel amid criticism that the country mounted a disproportionate assault in the Gaza conflict. He called the assembly out for its “hypocrisy” and stood by Israel’s right to wage war against Hamas, who he stressed doesn’t accept Israel’s existence. “We will never apologize for defending our citizens even if some of the countries here might be happy to see a greater number of dead Jews,” Erdan said....

The 5 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank are excluded from Israel’s vaccine rollout. By extending humanitarian aid in the form of vaccine access, the Israeli government has a unique opportunity to reverse decades of exclusion and marginalization to show the world that it is serious about peace. Political considerations such as this are a key driver for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vaccine push: His upcoming election will be closer run than any of his previous six campaigns....

State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman’s report found “failings in the process of making decisions and executing them,” adding that the government and its advisory COVID-19 cabinet failed to properly supervise choices made by Netanyahu, the AP said. The former prime minister ended his 12-year term after Israel’s fourth consecutive parliamentary elections, on March 23. “This criticism is more relevant than ever and raised significant shortcomings,” Englman, who was appointed by Netanyahu, wrote in his report....

Newsweek asked an Israel Defense Forces official during a press briefing Monday if Israel was concerned over the 25-year China-Iran strategic partnership agreement signed last year, coupled with indications that the U.S. may soon reenter the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Strategic Plan of Action (JCPOA). “The short answer is ‘yes,’” the IDF official replied. The IDF official particularly raised the alarm on how these developments may empower Iran’s continued ability to develop and deploy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including so-called “suicide drones,” which the IDF has alleged Iran has operated both directly and through partnerships with local forces across the region, including from Syria....
