Seahawks get Geno Smith back fully on practice field but Jamal Adams, Devon Witherspoon still out

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:00:33 GMT

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Geno Smith is set to return at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks this week.No one seems sure when, or if, Jamal Adams will return this season for the Seahawks.Smith was a full participant in practice for Seattle on Wednesday, the first step in likely returning to be the starter this Sunday at Tennessee after missing the past two games with a groin injury. Smith was close to starting on Monday night against Philadelphia, but the Seahawks opted to keep him out for one more game with the hope that he’ll be fully healthy for the final three weeks.The move decision appeared to work out in Seattle’s favor after backup Drew Lock led the Seahawks to a late touchdown and a 20-17 win over the Eagles that snapped a four-game losing streak and put them in the middle of a jumbled NFC playoff race.But it’s once again Smith’s job should he make it through the week without any setbacks.“He’s got to go through today, see how he is tomorrow and just do that like anybody else t...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:00:33 GMT

The NHL and Diamond Sports Group, the largest owner of regional sports networks, have reached an agreement that will keep local broadcasts for 11 teams on Bally Sports through the end of this season.The agreement, which was contained in a court filing made Wednesday, is subject to court approval.

The agreement provides stability for fans, networks and teams after Major League Baseball had to take over the broadcasts of San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks games last season after agreements could not be reached.The NHL teams that are currently on Bally are: Anaheim, Carolina, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, Fl...

Raiders defense under coordinator Patrick Graham makes noticeable turnaround

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:00:33 GMT

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce called it the “less is more” approach that defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has adopted this season, and so far it’s working.A year after Las Vegas had one of the NFL’s weakest defenses, the Raiders now are more of an asset than a liability, more of a reason why some games are won rather than lost.Players say Graham is a big reason for that turnaround.“He’s letting us play,” cornerback Amik Robertson said. “He’s confident in the plays he’s calling because he’s confident in the players. He’s letting us be us and he’s letting it loose. I think last season he was kind overthinking, but that was our first year with him. “So now he’s more comfortable with his guys, and as you can see, he’s calling some great plays and putting his playmakers in position to make plays.”The Raiders are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for ninth in the NFL in scoring defense, all...
