There were five quarterbacks drafted in the top 15 picks of April’s NFL Draft. Three of them are starting in Week 1: Trevor Lawrence (No. 1, Jaguars), Zach Wilson (No. 2, Jets) and Jones (No. 15, Patriots). Chicago Bears No. 11 overall pick Justin Fields should make his first start in the first quarter of the season. He simply has to wait because coach Matt Nagy unwisely promised Andy Dalton the Week 1 job when Chicago signed him, desperate for a solution after striking out on a trade for Seattle’s Wilson. The 49ers’ Trey Lance, the No. 3 overall pick, appears unprepared to start right away, so Jimmy Garoppolo will get the ball early. But Lance probably will factor into some packages and take over the job once he gains confidence. Meanwhile, it’s easy to be skeptical of this year’s NFL head coaching hiring cycle as one of the most uninspiring in years. The Lions’ Dan Campbell is a complete wildcard coaching a rebuilding team. Urban Meyer is clearly overwhelmed in Jacksonville, from rules violations to the Tim Tebow signing. David Culley has his work cut out in Houston. The Eagles’ Nick Sirianni, 40, is a complete unknown. And although there is respect for the Jets’ Robert Saleh and Falcons’ Arthur Smith, it will take more than an adequate performance to turn their franchises around. The Chargers’ Staley, 38, inherited the best situation, but with only one season as a coordinator under his belt, nothing will come easily.
The victims were among a large group when someone inside a black 4-door Nissan opened fire. A 22-year-old man was hit in the shoulder, and another man, 27, suffered wounds to the back. Both men were taken to mount Sinai Hospital and listed in good condition. Two woman, ages 25 and 33, got themselves to Mount Sinai with the youngest suffering a graze wound to the hip, and the oldest being shot in a leg. Both were listed in good condition, police said.
“I’ve had a three-hour rain delay before,” he said. “You’ve got to deal with the circumstances and everybody was dealing with the same thing. (Royals starter Carlos) Hernández had been pitching really well for them and I knew I had to be pretty good, so warming up felt great and then the first inning was pretty good, just couldn’t replicate it from then on out.”
The Green Bay Packers, who have won the division seven of the last 10 seasons, are the favorites once again, but the future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers hangs over the franchise. A back injury has sidelined outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith, arguably the most disruptive player in the front seven, and left tackle David Bahtiari is on the physically unable to perform list, so he will miss at least the first six weeks.
Fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica) is a low-growing shrub, about 2 to 4 feet high, that suckers to form dense thickets. The glossy green leaves turn brilliant red in fall. It’s a sturdy, tolerant plant that can handle part-shade as well as full sun. “Fragrant sumac can be attractive in a garden, if you have a place where you can let it spread,” Janoski said. “It might do well along a driveway, for example.” A popular cultivated variety is Gro-low (Rhus aromatica ‘Gro-low’).
Hunter Johnson threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns in his first start for Northwestern since 2019. With Peyton Ramsey starting, Johnson played in two games last season and did not attempt a pass. Johnson beat out former South Carolina starter Ryan Hilinski and senior Andrew Marty for the job this season.

Osaka, who left the court after seven games to change outfits and put on a highlighter-yellow dress, was quite good down the stretch in the opening set. She grabbed 12 of the last 13 points, including the last nine, with a break at love to go up 6-5, and a hold at love with the help of a pair of aces at 112 mph and 114 mph to end it.
“(Thursday) felt pretty good with super-light catch,” Giolito said. “(Thursday) I was protecting it a little bit. And then (Friday) I felt like I took a big step forward. I was able to put a lot on the ball. At the same time, not going crazy with leg drive, being a little relaxed in the legs, but I was able to let some go pretty good.
House Democrats earlier this year ousted their longtime leader, former Speaker Michael Madigan, who is under the cloud of the federal probe. Madigan, who also headed the state Democratic Party until February, has not been charged and has denied any wrongdoing, but ComEd admitted in federal court last summer that it engaged in a yearslong bribery scheme aimed at currying favor with the longtime Southwest Side power broker.
