Explainer: London Faces Up To Former Role Insuring Atlantic Slave Trade

Saquon Barkley won’t be at the Giants’ first open OTA practice on Thursday and likely not at any other practice until he receives a new contract. So while Daniel Jones’ top running back bides his time, it will be worthwhile to evaluate the quarterback’s increasingly deep stable of targets in the passing game and determine who will rise to the top. Even though a star No.

Lamar Jackson has arrived. A source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Baltimore Sun that the Ravens quarterback is at the team’s facility in Owings Mills on Tuesday, a day after the first of what are 10 voluntary organized team activities over the next three weeks. Jackson, who signed a five-year extension worth a reported $260 million earlier this month, was absent the first five weeks of the Ravens’ voluntary workouts and had not been on the field with the team since suffering a PCL injury against the Denver Broncos on Dec.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson received the lion’s share of attention, but the Ravens were equally pleased this week to see wide receivers Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay, both of whom suffered season-ending foot injuries in 2022, back on the field for voluntary offseason workouts. Bateman, a 2021 first-round pick, started last season as the team’s No.

Tony Jefferson is retiring from the NFL, but the former Ravens safety isn’t leaving football. The 31-year-old is returning to Baltimore as a scout this summer, the Ravens announced Thursday. He will be joining the team as part of the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship. The fellowship, established by the NFL in 2015 and named after former executives John Wooten and the late Bill Nunn, provides former players interested in a career in professional scouting hands-on experience as full-time members of an NFL scouting staff during a season-long internship. Jefferson has long talked about wanting to be an NFL general manager and will take that next step as one of 21 current or former players participating in the 10th annual Senior Bowl scout school June 4-7 in Mobile, Alabama, according to senior director Jim Nagy. “Scouting is something I really like doing,” Jefferson said on the Ravens’ “Studio 44″ podcast last year.

COMMERCE CITY — In the debut of their “New Day” jerseys, the Colorado Rapids committed the same old mistakes in another losing effort. The Rapids (2-7-6, 12 points) lost a fifth consecutive game across all competitions Saturday as it fell 1-0 to FC Cincinnati at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park with a goal coming from none other than two-time Rapids striker Dominique Badji.

With one massive swing of his bat, Ryan McMahon shut up the vocal contingent of Mets fans at Coors Field on a rainy Saturday night. The Mets had taken a 7-6 lead in the seventh and the shouts of “Let’s Go Mets!” took over the LoDo ballpark. But in the bottom of the frame, the Rockies third baseman, who’s been mired in a deep slump for much of the season, hit a two-run homer deep into the second deck in right field off right-hander Jeff Brigham for the go-ahead run in Colorado’s 10-7 victory. McMahon’s home run was his second in the last two games, that after going 103 at-bats without a homer. “Anytime you feel like you haven’t been coming through for the team a lot lately … it’s indescribable,” McMahon said.
