PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts may sit out a potential NFC East clincher against Dallas because of the lingering effects of a concussion . The Eagles could also just rest Hurts to play it safe -- even if he’s medically cleared ahead of Sunday’s game -- and protect their franchise QB from additional injury over the final two games. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni kept quiet this week on which QB will start Sunday, in large part, of course, because of the head injury suffered by Hurts in last week’s loss to Washington that forced him into the concussion protocol . The issue was complicated by backup Kenny Pickett’s rib injury suffered in relief of Hurts in his first real game competition in nearly a year. Tanner McKee, the third-string QB, could move into a backup role — or maybe even get the start against the Cowboys. Philadelphia's starting quarterback situation has surged past Saquon Barkley's chase at Eric Dickerson's season rushing record as the most intriguing talking point in the final two games. The Eagles (12-3) appear certain to win the division title — they're two games ahead of Washington (10-5) — and a No. 2 seed in the conference no matter the quarterback headed into the playoffs. Even with an unsettled QB spot, the Eagles are are still 71⁄2-point home favorites to beat division rival Dallas, per BetMGM Sportsbook. Sirianni appreciated that quarterback depth has been a strength for the Eagles. “We feel good about that room,” he said. So why risk Hurts against the Cowboys? There's little reason to make Hurts play only a week after absorbing a pair of blows to the head and the extra week off — maybe two if the finale against the Giants is truly meaningless — could add to his recovery time ahead of a home playoff game. The Eagles were burned in a similar situation last season when Hurts and star wide receiver A.J. Brown were both injured in the final game against the Giants with little at stake. With both players hampered by unnecessary injuries, the Eagles were dumped the next week by Tampa Bay in the NFC wild-card playoff game. The Eagles have options if Hurts is inactive. Pickett was 14 of 24 for 143 yards in relief, throwing a touchdown pass to Brown and an interception. Pickett, a first-round pick out of Pitt in 2022, went 14-10 as a starter for the Steelers before he was traded to the Eagles in the offseason. McKee was the Eagles’ 2023 sixth-round pick out of Stanford. The 6-foot-6, 231-pound quarterback has yet to take a snap in a regular-season game. He's mostly used in practice on the scout team or in developmental periods — at best, he'll stay late after practice to get some reps in with the top receivers. “Every week, every opportunity, it's knowing it could be my shot, my chance,” McKee said. He could finally get that shot against Dallas. With the Cowboys out of playoff contention, the questions persist for coach Mike McCarthy about bypassing Cooper Rush for a look at Trey Lance before both QBs hit free agency. McCarthy’s answer hasn’t wavered: Rush gives Dallas the best chance to win. Rush is 4-3 since Dak Prescott’s season-ending hamstring tear after going 5-1 over two previous stints as an injury replacement. That’s 9-4 total. Half the losses came in both of Rush’s starts against Eagles – the last of five games filling in during the 2022 season and the first game this season. “The mindset is to win,” McCarthy said. “We’re going to Philadelphia to win the game.” Barkley leads the NFL with 1,838 yards rushing for the season through 15 games. He still needs two big outings in the final games of the season against Dallas and the New York Giants to top Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. Barkley is 268 yards away from passing Dickerson for the season mark and 162 shy from becoming the ninth player in NFL history with 2,000 yards rushing in a season. He ran for only 66 yards in the first game this season against Dallas. Dallas ranks 28th in the NFL in rushing defense, surrendering 135.9 yards per contest. Philadelphia, behind Barkley’s stellar play, tops the league at 187.9 yards per game on the ground. The Eagles have already have set a team record for yards rushing in a season with 2,818, and they are within four rushing touchdowns of tying the club’s single-season mark of 32, set in 2022. Barkley needs four more rushing touchdowns to tie LeSean McCoy’s Eagles record, set in 2011 and just 33 yards from scrimmage to break McCoy’s mark of 2,146 set in 2013. Star Dallas edge rusher Micah Parsons needs half a sack to reach double digits in each of his first four seasons despite missing four games with a high ankle sprain, the first injury absence of his career.

UEFA Champions League Preview | Real Madrid faces stiff challenge against Italian League leaders in the early hours of the 11thRecent incidents prompt heightened security at Illinois StatehouseFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A seismic change is coming for Miami Hurricanes basketball, as longtime coach Jim Larrañaga is stepping down after more than 13 seasons at the helm in Coral Gables, the veteran coach announced Thursday. Bill Courtney, Larrañaga’s associate head coach, is expected to take over as the team’s interim coach, the school announced. Larrañaga, 75, has been Miami’s head coach since 2011-12 and led the team to its best performance in the NCAA Tournament in 2023. But this year’s team is off to a disastrous 4-8 start, including disappointing home losses to Charleston Southern and Mount St. Mary’s. “I love the game,” Larrañaga said. “I’ve loved coaching it. I love practice every day. I love working with the players. But because I love the game and I love the university that much, I felt like, OK, there’s one thing you’ve got to constantly ask yourself: Are you going to give everything you have, the commitment that it deserves, 100 percent of yourself, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually? “And quite frankly, I’ve tried to do that throughout my life an throughout my time here, but I’m exhausted.” Larrañaga was under contract through the 2026-27 season, but he cited the challenge of coaching in college basketball’s changing environment as the reason why he ultimately decided he had enough. Athletic director Dan Radakovich said Larrañaga informed him of his decision on Sunday, and Radakovich tried to persuade him to stay. On Monday, Larrañaga informed Radakovich of his final decision. The UM AD said the decision was purely Larrañaga’s, and the athletic department is going to work with Larrañaga to keep him involved with the program. “Of course, my admiration for Jim and our basketball program, I certainly asked him to reconsider, talked through a number of items,” Radakovich said. “But as I was going through my little spiel, I could tell that maybe this mind was already made up. But I felt like I had to do it, and it was important for me to do that. But certainly respecting the decision that he made and allowing us to be in the position that we are, the great history that he’s brought here to the University of Miami lays a great foundation for us to move forward.” Larrañaga is the winningest coach in the program’s history, putting together a 274-174 record at UM. He took the Hurricanes to the Final Four for the first time in 2023 after an Elite Eight run in 2022. He took Miami to the NCAA Tournament six times in his 14-year tenure. But Larrañaga said after the Hurricanes’ run to the Final Four, eight players came to him and told him they intended to transfer to seek more money elsewhere. “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made it to the Final Four, just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their name in the portal and leave,” Larrañaga said. “I said, ‘Don’t you like it here?’ (They said), ‘No, I love it. I love Miami. It’s great.’ “But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about? And the answer is it’s become professional.” Another ACC coaching legend, former Virginia coach Tony Bennett, gave a similar reason for stepping down in October. “I talk to a lot of my friends, and they’re having all the same problems I’m having,” Larrañaga said. ‘How long they will last is anybody’s guess.” The Hurricanes struggled massively at the end of the 2023-24 season, losing their final 10 games. This season started out promising with three straight wins, but a group built around promising freshmen and transfers has lost eight of its last nine games. “We should be competing for an ACC championship or even a national championship on a fairly consistent basis, and I thought we were doing that and we were moving closer and closer to being able to do it, and then this happened,” Larrañaga said. “Going into this year, I just felt like, ‘OK, we need to get back to where we were.’ I’ve got a great group of kids. It’s not their problem. It’s the system now, or the lack of a system. I didn’t know how to navigate through this. ... I’m all for transferring, but what the portal created is transferring every year.” Larrañaga’s Hurricanes teams produced multiple NBA players, including Bruce Brown Jr., Lonnie Walker, Shane Larkin, Jordan Miller, Davon Reed, Isaiah Wong, Dewan Hernandez and, most recently, Kyshawn George. “Thank you,” former Miami basketball player Anthony Walker wrote on social media. “You have molded me into not only the basketball player I wanted to be but a person, as well. The lessons you have taught me throughout the years will never be forgotten. (You are) a living legend, coach L. Glad that it gets to end on your terms. I love you.” ACC commissioner Jim Phillips released a statement, congratulating Larrañaga for his career. “Jim Larrañaga is a tremendous man who has left a mark as not only the most accomplished coach in Miami basketball history, but as one of the premier coaches in ACC history,” Phillips said. “His coaching record speaks for itself with over 700 career wins, but he always has led his program with the utmost integrity and class. He elevated the Miami program to new levels during his tenure, including a Final Four, and made lifelong impacts on his student-athletes through his lessons on the court and in life outside of the game. Our league has been better because of him and we will miss his presence and voice. We wish Jim, his wife Liz, and their family all the best in their next endeavor.” Larrañaga has a career record of 744-507 over a 41-year college career that also included coaching stints at American International, George Mason and Bowling Green. He led George Mason to the 2006 Final Four. “I just didn’t feel like that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous,” Larrañaga said. “With an agent saying to me, ‘Well you can get involved if you’re willing to go to a million-one (dollars). I’m like,’ What? A million dollars?’ And that be the norm. That was the norm. You’re talking to people that expect a million dollars for playing college basketball.” Radakovich said UM will have a “national” search for the next men’s basketball coach. “It’s a difficult atmosphere out there,” Radakovich said. “The lack of what Jim was just talking about — no collective bargaining, no limited antitrust exemption, all the things that you talk about and hear about in intercollegiate athletics has led to the symptoms that Jim just talked about. That has to be the longer-term view of what we need to have happen. Will that occur before we need to move forward and conduct a national search? I highly doubt it. “So we’re going to be looking at the attributes that the University of Miami can provide to a potential coach, looking at obviously, playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference, which is an incredible basketball league, and making sure we put our best foot forward to get someone that can come in, be a part of the community, part of the university but at the same time feel like they have the ability to navigate this world and the changing world that we’re in.” ©2024 South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

(AP) — The Daniel Jones era in New York is over. The Giants quarterback was granted his release by the team just days after the franchise said it was benching him in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito. New York president John Mara said Jones approached the team about releasing him and the club obliged. Mara added he was “disappointed” at the quick dissolution of a once-promising relationship between Jones and the team. Giants coach Brian Daboll benched Jones in favor of DeVito following a loss to the Panthers in Germany that dropped New York's record to 2-8.
