(AP) — Aaron Rodgers fully intends to play again this season for the New York Jets and he hasn’t ruled out being back on the field for a game in a few weeks.The quarterback has been making a remarkably quick recovery since tearing his left Achilles tendon four snaps into his debut with the Jets on Sept. 11.

He acknowledged he won’t be 100% healthy if he returns less than four months after surgery and added that it “wouldn’t make sense” to rush his return if the Jets (4-7) are out of the playoff hunt. But he also left open the door for him to be back under center before his initial goal of Dec. 24 against Washington, saying he plans to ramp up his practice activities next week.“I think anything’s possible,” Rodgers said.The four-time NFL MVP said he needs to make sure ...

Florida Supreme Court: Law enforcement isn’t required to withhold victims’ names

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 23:46:11 GMT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida law enforcement agencies began refusing to publicly release crime victims’ names after voters passed a victims’ rights constitutional amendment, but the state Supreme Court ruled on Thursday they weren’t required to do so.Legally, the name of a crime victim doesn’t have to be withheld from the public, the court ruled. The amendment, rather, protects information that could be used to locate and harass a victim.“One’s name, standing alone, is not that kind of information or record; it communicates nothing about where the individual can be found and bothered,” the court ruled.Marsy’s Law was passed by voters five years ago and allows crime victims or their families to request their names be withheld from public documents. The ruling was on a case focused on whether Tallahassee police officers who fatally shot armed suspects could claim they were crime victims, and thus prevent the city from releasing their names. But the court ru...

It’s going to come down to whoever gets the ball last, and you’ve got to go win the ballgame from there.”Miami hasn’t been 9-3 since 2001. The Dolphins enter Week 13 with the NFL’s top offense, visiting the Commanders (4-8) fresh off coach Ron Rivera firing defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and taking over the play-calling duties on defense.After blowing out the New York Jets and with their next game coming up at home against Tennessee (4-7...
