LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Quarterback Justin Fields likely will miss his second consecutive game because of a dislocated right thumb when the Chicago Bears visit the Los Angeles Chargers this week, coach Matt Eberflus said Monday.Eberflus said Fields is doubtful and rookie Tyson Bagent would start again in his place. Eberflus said Fields “continues to progress” and is on a path to avoid surgery and injured reserve. But he would not say if the swelling has gone down or if Fields has tried to throw.“I’m just going to go back to what I said,” Eberflus said. “He’s with the trainers, he’s doubtful this week and that’s where it is.”Fields was hurt on Chicago’s first possession in the third quarter of a Week 6 loss to Minnesota. He seemed to land awkwardly on his hand trying to throw the ball away while getting sacked by Danielle Hunter. The Bears punted on the next play, and Fields headed to the locker room.Bagent finished that game and made his first start in a 30-12 win over Las Vegas on...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:10:31 GMT

An extensive crime ring that systematically targeted major retailers, including Publix, Walmart, Target and Walgreens, believed they could operate without leaving a significant impact. However, their actions resulted in over $20 million in retail losses, affecting not just stores but also the consumers.According to authorities, the criminal operation, which spanned throughout South Florida, consisted of approximately 87 individuals who carried out a series of thefts from big-box retailers over nine months. Their approach was simple: enter the stores and take as much merchandise as possible.“These individuals would sometimes obtain master keys and empty whole shelves of over-the-counter prescription medications or simply walk out with high-value items like a $3,000 golf bag,” said George Aguire, an official from the Miami Dade Organized Crime Bureau.Authorities said Arland Cata played a significant role within the criminal operation, handling the stolen products.

Pat Riley lays out vision for Heat season, says it could dictate Miami’s future

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:10:31 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Pat Riley tends to look at things in five-year increments, and that might make this a very important season for the Miami Heat.With the current Miami core — Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro — about to start its fifth season together, the Heat president said he still believes his team has “as good a chance as anybody” to win the Eastern Conference. But he also indicated that what happens this season could have a serious effect on what the Heat look like next season.“If you build a team around one or two players, three players, and you don’t win the championship, then you might have to start thinking: ‘OK, this is not going to work. This is not going to happen,’” Riley said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Maybe you see that in Milwaukee, maybe you see that in Boston. They got to those windows and made moves.”The Bucks — who won the NBA title in 2021 — revamped their core this offseason by trading for Damian Lillard, who originally hoped to go to Miami...

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for “an immediate humanitarian ceasefire” last week but EU ministers have discussed what foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell called a less ambitious “humanitarian pause.” Borrell stressed that while the EU cannot “decree” a pause, it can send the message that it is in favor of one. While there is a “basic consensus,” several diplomats, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly about the meeting like others quoted in this story, stressed there is not the required unanimity. The ministers have not yet voted, Borrell said. EU ambassadors discussed a draft text on the humanitarian pause on Monday afternoon that could be added to the final text that leaders will...
