Ibrahim rushed 30 times for 163 yards before the injury, moving into eighth place on the program’s career rushing yards list (3,003). His per-game average (103.6) is slightly higher than that of the all-time leader Darrell Thompson (103.4), who racked up 4,654 yards from 1986-89. Ibrahim is tied for fourth in career touchdowns (33).
Charles, who the Liberty traded to the Washington Mystics in 2020, is one of 10 current players on the list. The other nine are Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart, Angel McCoughtry, Nneka Ogwumike, Candace Parker, Brittney Griner and Sylvia Fowles.
Greg Little, whom the Dolphins acquired from the Carolina Panthers in a trade during camp, could be in line to start on Sunday if Jackson is unavailable. Rookie Liam Eichenberg has college experience playing left tackle, but he hasn’t practiced there during camp — only going at left guard and right tackle — while he’s also nursing an undisclosed lower-body injury. Right tackle Jesse Davis can play the position, but it’s unlikely to have him switch sides on the line with the priority in protecting left-handed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s blind side.
“He’s been very impressive,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said last week. “He’s a pitch maker, he’s got stuff, the ability to locate the wipeout slider, spot the fastball. I saw what he was doing for the Cubs, he was very effective there. He’s been a heck of an addition, an important one.”
“But look, it was just fun to see that all coming together because the minute that happened, it was like five coaches all just converged on the (dugout) stairs. And it was just like, ‘All right, Borzie and I will handle the pitching and that stuff.’ I turned to Val and Poce and was like, ‘Whoever you want to pinch-hit, get guys ready.’
OK, so this is admittedly the 500-1 long shot. After all, Jaylon Johnson, the Bears’ top cornerback, went all last season without an interception. So did safety Eddie Jackson. As a team, the Bears haven’t topped 10 interceptions in a season since 2018. Their picks leaders a year ago were linebacker Roquan Smith and safety Tashaun Gipson –— with two apiece.
Florida State rallied to force overtime, with Jordan Travis connecting with Andrew Parchment on an 8-yard touchdown strike early in the fourth, Treshaun Ward scoring on a 2-yard run and Fitzgerald tying it with a 43-yard field goal with 40 seconds left.
Aaronson won a throw-in, and the U.S. made a series of quick passes as well as it has done. Jordan Pefok sent the ball to Pulisic and Tyler Adams, who gave it back to Pefok. He passed to Kellyn Acosta, who sent it wide to Antonee Robinson. He crossed in front, and Aaronson poked the ball past goalkeeper Milan Borjan for the 20-year-old’s fourth international goal.
“To me, it just means cool under pressure, and I think that suits my personality really well,” said Cantlay, who never changed his expression until a big smile when he tapped in for birdie and a 1-under 69, waving his cap to thousands of fans around the green.
“We had other at-bats in the three days, ball stayed in the park, right? So there is a way we were going to go after him and we made mistakes and he punished us. But the plan was if you’re going to make a mistake, don’t make it over the plate, make it off the plate. Paid dearly. Not (Saturday), but we paid (Sunday).”
