The 49ers were awaiting word on medical testing Monday to determine the status of running back Christian McCaffrey, who suffered an injury to his rib area in a 19-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns.“He’s in MRI’s right now so we’re still waiting on the imaging,” coach Kyle Shanahan said in a conference call with local writers.The good news is that left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) received “day to day” designations, meaning they may miss a practice or two but have a decent chance of facing the Minnesota Vikings.The 49ers (5-1) have an additional day to rest up, with a road assignment against the Vikings (2-4) awaiting on Monday Night Football.Samuel was the first to depart, playing just nine snaps and rushing two times for 11 yards.

Desmond Ridder, Arthur Smith facing well-deserved scrutiny after an ugly Falcons loss

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:47:56 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — When Matt Ryan waved to an appreciative Atlanta crowd from the broadcast booth, it was a reminder of a time when the Falcons didn’t have any concerns at quarterback.That’s no longer the case.A half-dozen games into what is supposed to be his first full year as the No. 1 quarterback, Desmond Ridder hardly looks like the guy who will lead the Falcons to a brighter future.Another mistake-filled performance by Ridder cost Atlanta (3-3) a chance to claim the NFC South lead, though coach Arthur Smith also deserved a healthy dose of second-guessing for the haphazard way he ran things on the sideline.Ridder’s three second-half interceptions essentially handed a 24-16 win to the Washington Commanders, who had lost three in a row.It also marked the second time in three weeks that Ridder has committed three turnovers in a game.Through six games, he’s got six touchdowns and six interceptions. Those numbers simply don’t add up to being a successful NF...

CJ Stroud’s performance has improved Texans at 3-3 entering bye week

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:47:56 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Just six games into the season, the Houston Texans already have three wins to match their total from last season.The biggest change? The strong play of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who had another good game Sunday to lead Houston to a 20-13 win over New Orleans to improve to .500 entering the bye week.Stroud threw for 199 yards and two touchdowns against the Saints. He threw his first interception after setting an NFL record by throwing 191 passes without a pick to start his career.But it didn’t matter much as receiver Nico Collins forced Zack Baun to fumble after the interception. The ball was recovered by Tytus Howard to give the Texans the ball back, and Stroud put them up 7-0 on a 1-yard TD pass to Dalton Schultz.“I think that was the turning point of the game for us and on offense,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “Bad things happen. We responded the correct way. That’s what you continue to see from C.J. … a bad play, it doesn’t affect the next play. That’s growth an...

The Supreme Court orders makers of gun parts to comply with rules on ghost guns

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:47:56 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday ordered two internet sellers of gun parts to comply with a Biden administration regulation aimed at ghost guns, firearms that are difficult to trace because they lack serial numbers.The court had intervened once before, by a 5-4 vote in August, to keep the regulation in effect after it had been invalidated by a lower court. No justice dissented publicly from Monday’s order, which followed a ruling from a federal judge in Texas that exempted the two companies, Blackhawk Manufacturing Group and Defense Distributed, from having to abide by the regulation of ghost gun kits.Other makers of gun parts also had been seeking similar court orders, the administration told the Supreme Court in a filing.“Absent relief from this Court, therefore, untraceable ghost guns will remain widely available to anyone with a computer and a credit card — no background check required,” Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, the administration’s top Supr...

Will Prop HH eliminate TABOR refunds? Scenario ‘likely’ over time Three years ago, Colorado voters approved a tax on nicotine items. The tax money went toward funding the state's universal preschool program."Turns out, a couple of years in, the state found out that the tax was collecting more than anticipated," said Jake Williams, CEO of Healthier Colorado, which is in favor of the ballot question passing. "And as per our state constitution, we need to go back to voters to ask permission to hang on to that money and keep investing it into kids via access to preschool, or should we give that money back to tobacco companies?"The extra dollars the state brought in were significant.
