ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson, who has forfeited nearly $1 million in fines and paychecks over a series of over-the-top tackles this season, returned to practice Wednesday after completing his second suspension.After missing six of the Broncos’ last seven games, Jackson is eligible to return Sunday night when Denver (7-7) hosts the New England Patriots (3-11), although the Broncos have a roster exemption through Monday and could choose to sit him out this weekend.His role is also uncertain because fourth-year safety PJ Locke has played well in Jackson’s absence opposite Justin Simmons. Jackson could be used on early downs or in certain sub packages with Locke maintaining most of the snaps.“It’s been four weeks,” coach Sean Payton said. “All those things are possibilities. It’s still something that we’re kind of going through.”Last time he returned from a suspension, Jackson was reinserted into the starting lineup right away, but his very fi...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:54:32 GMT

An exchange student from Queen’s University has raised nearly $3000 for the Kingston Youth Shelter thanks to the coldest bike ride he’s ever faced. Raphael Fenski, a German student studying Commerce at Queen’s for the Fall ’23 semester, kicked off his “Race Against the Cold” journey on December 4 that would take him 1000 KM from Kingston to the capital of the United States, Washington, D.C. While he’s done expansive cycling journeys before, a winter trek in less bike friendly infrastructure (compared to Europe) brought new challenges. Fenski said he discovered his school schedule permitted him quite a bit of free time in December and he was keen to use that time to pursue some kind of physical challenge, and decided to use the opportunity to link it to some kind of social cause.He said he didn’t have an existing connection with Kingston Youth Shelter, but that he has a personal connection to homelessness that made the Youth ShelterR...
