Vikings rookie quarterback Jaren Hall leaves first start with concussion

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 04:34:58 GMT

The worst part is Jaren Hall was kind of cooking.After struggling to find a rhythm on his first drive, the rookie quarterback had the Vikings in position to score a touchdown on his second drive.He completed a quick pass to tight end Johnny Mundt for 18 yards, then a deep pass to running back Alexander Mattison for 47 yards.That put the Vikings in the low red zone where Hall tried to scramble for a touchdown. He got hit hard near the goal line, slammed the back of his head into the turf, and had to be helped off the field.After briefly getting checked out in the medical tent, Hall was quickly ruled out with a concussion. He finished the game 5 for 6 passing for 78 yards to go along with 11 yards rushing.In place of Hall, the Vikings turned to Josh Dobbs, the journey quarterback they acquired at the trade deadline this past week.Related ArticlesMinnesota Vikings | Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw ruled out for game against Falcons Minnesota Vikings | ...

Chargers’ Ekeler and Jets’ Hall are the dynamic backfield engines who power their offenses

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 04:34:58 GMT

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Austin Ekeler’s best decision last Sunday might have come off the field.The Los Angeles Chargers running back — an avid fan of fantasy football — plugged a productive playmaker into one of his lineups.Himself. “When you have yourself in fantasy, you never don’t start yourself,” Ekeler said with a big smile. “I always start myself in fantasy if I have myself.”Good call.Ekeler had 123 yards from scrimmage, including seven receptions for 94 yards, in the Chargers’ 30-13 rout of the Chicago Bears. “Probably a pretty good day,” he said of the fantasy implications.No doubt. And after missing three games with a high ankle sprain, the star running back is rounding back into his dynamic form.“It starts with their running game,” said New York Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, whose unit will be tasked with defending Ekeler on Monday night. “I know that sounds funny because when you talk about the Chargers, you talk about Justin Herbert, you talk ab...

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 04:34:58 GMT

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war late Sunday, while Israel’s military announced it had encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two.“Today there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against the Hamas militant group. Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours.But the “new collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to share details on the new stage of the military offensive.“We have lost communication with the vast majority of the UNRWA team members,” U.N. Palestinian refugee agency spokesperson Juliette Touma told The Associated Press. The first Gaza outage lasted 36 hours and the second one for a few hours, complicat...

LUTON, England (AP) — Luis Diaz returned to Liverpool’s team and scored a late equalizer in its Premier League match against Luton on Sunday, with his father still missing after being kidnapped by a guerrilla group in Colombia.Diaz had missed Liverpool’s last two games but trained since Thursday and was selected on the bench for the match at Kenilworth Road. He entered the game in the 83rd and scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time to secure a 1-1 draw for his team.He revealed a T-shirt with the words “Libertad Para Papa” (“Freedom For Papa”) after the goal. “At the training ground he was fine, on the pitch he was fine, so that’s why he is here,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said ahead of the game.Both of Diaz’s parents were kidnapped in the small Colombian town of Barrancas last weekend, though his mother was rescued within hours by police. Colombia’s government said Thursday that the guerrilla group National Liberation Army, known as ELN, was responsible for the...
