Vikings right tackle Brian O’Neill finally takes reps in team drills

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:40:29 GMT

The plan for the Vikings has always been to bring right tackle Brian O’Neill along slowly. He’s working his way back from a partially torn Achilles tendon, and while O’Neill probably would have gone 100 mph as soon as he was allowed, head coach Kevin O’Connell noted at the start of training camp that the team would be cautious.So, it’s been a gradual ramp up for O’Neill, who started by working off to the side by himself, then progressed into individual drills on a limited basis.The biggest step in the recovery process so far came on Sunday afternoon as O’Neill participated in team drills for the first time.“I’m feeling really good,” he said. “I was really excited. Just trying to follow the plan that they’ve got for me. I’m starting to shake some rust off.”Though it’s still unclear whether O’Neill will participate in joint practices against the Tennessee Titans this week, it appears heR...

Twins pitchers shut down frustrated Phillies hitters in 2-0 win

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:40:29 GMT

PHILADELPHIA — Sonny Gray tossed two-hit ball over six shutout innings, reliever Caleb Thielbar pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh and Jordan Luplow homered to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.The American League Central leaders bounced back from a 13-2 loss on Friday to win the last two games of the series. Gray (6-5) struck out seven and pitched into the sixth inning for the eighth straight time. He allowed just two singles and otherwise quieted a Phillies’ offense that had hit 20 homers over the last eight games.“Overall nice outing for him,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “I think his command was good. We’ve probably seen it better for him, but he attacked. … When you attack and get ahead, good things generally do follow.”Yet after 80 pitches, that was enough for Gray, and it almost cost the Twins.Griffin Jax allowed two singles and hit a batter to load the bases with one out and to send the Philly...

Marin launches tri-county effort to reduce coastal pollution

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:40:29 GMT

After coastal communities were overwhelmed by visitors — and their garbage — during the pandemic, Marin and two Northern California counties have joined forces to stem the pollution.A three-year campaign, known as the “Cleaner California Coast” initiative, seeks to expand the “leave-no-trace” message often used at national and state parks to all coastal areas of Marin, Sonoma and Mendocino counties.Whether someone is staying at a rental property in Stinson Beach or hiking in a national park, campaign proponents said the intent is to have people pack away any waste they generate or to prevent waste by using reusable or compostable items.“It’s kind of a simple message: If you’re at the coast, come prepared,” said Marin County Parks and Open Space communications manager Cristina Torresan.The initiative will begin in earnest this year, first gaining community-level support and partners and eventually growing into a larger marketing campaign. A new website launched at cleanercoast.org.Su...

Undrafted rookie Elijah Dotson making a case for Chargers’ roster spot after 2-TD game

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:40:29 GMT

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Six years ago the Los Angeles Chargers had an undrafted rookie running back from a small Colorado college make the roster after a great preseason.Could the Bolts strike twice? Elijah Dotson certainly hopes so.Dotson had 92 yards on six carries, including two long touchdowns in the fourth quarter of the Chargers’ 34-17 victory over the Los Angeles Rams Saturday night.Dotson, who went to Northern Colorado and signed with the Chargers after going undrafted, got a motivational pep talk from someone who was once in the same situation. Austin Ekeler is going into his seventh season in Los Angeles after signing as an undrafted rookie out of Western Colorado.Having Ekeler as a mentor isn’t a bad thing considering he leads the NFL with 38 scrimmage touchdowns over the past two seasons and was the fifth running back in league history last season to have at least 100 catches in a year.“He was like ‘Don’t do too much. You don’t have to be a superstar. Just t...
