Speaking with reporters, Tomlin didn’t give much detail into the severity of Roethlisberger’s injury, but said it would be monitored at practice this week. From there, Tomlin will decide whether to play Roethlisberger on Sunday against the Broncos, another team possibly down their starting quarterback after Teddy Bridgewater suffered a concussion Sunday.

Former Steelers such as Brown, Bell and Ryan Clark have been ripping Roethlisberger for calling out teammates on his radio show and being too close to management. Clark says Roethlisberger is “not a natural leader.” His former top receiver Hines Ward added, “Ben is the leader of the team… I just think he has to take the initiative to kind of do more as a leader. Not just being able to call guys out on his radio show....

Ben Woodburn divided his early brilliance between cricket and football on the Flacca Field in Tattenhall, a small village just outside the south-east of Chester, most famous for its Ice Cream Farm. Reserved, with a piercing focus, he quickly knew he wanted nothing more professionally than to be part of those 90 minutes where everything is left on the pitch. Around 40 miles away, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s formative years were spent in Merseyside’s football HQ, with Melwood and Everton’s former training complex Bellefield both situated in his home suburb of West Derby....

Butler has worked out extremely well. Mirotic and just about everything else … yikes. MORE: Trade deadline moves (and non-moves) set up huge NBA summer The 26-year-old forward logged his third consecutive DNP-CD (Did Not Play — Coach’s Decision) Sunday afternoon in a blowout loss to the Celtics. To make matters worse, Mirotic doesn’t fully understand why he’s not on the floor. “(Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg) told me that I’m out of the rotation,” Mirotic said (via ESPN)....

If there was nothing that could be done in response to a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, many might advocate for delaying diagnosis for as long as possible. However, there are actually many reasons to see your physician earlier, rather than later, if you or your loved one is experiencing symptoms of early stage dementia. 1. Rule Out Reversible and Treatable Causes of Dementia There are multiple conditions besides Alzheimer’s that can share some of the same characteristics, some of which are treatable and even reversible....

How will Cincinnati officials attempt to replace the coach who had the second-longest tenure in the NFL behind Bill Belichick, following a second straight season without an AFC playoff berth? Here is a short list of reasonable candidates. Paul Guenther, Bengals defensive coordinator Guenther, 46, has been Lewis’ right-hand man in terms of scheming one of the toughest, most consistent units when it’s healthy. He’s about due for his chance to run an entire team, and his promotion is the most likely outcome for an organization not known for doing anything radical....

The flag bailed out Joe Burrow big time. Burrow had backpedaled all the way to the Buccaneers’ 47 on a fourth-and-3 from the Tampa Bay 24 before he was sacked by Devin White and Anthony Nelson. The play appeared to give Tampa Bay great field position as it led 17-6. But Bucs linebacker Lavonte David was called for holding Chase, giving the Bengals 5 yards and a first down....

The Bengals never led in the game until Evan McPherson kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired. Cincinnati trailed 14-0 at halftime but opened the second half with two touchdowns in the third quarter to tie. The teams then traded touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 348 yards, his first game this season with 300 passing yards. Tight end CJ Uzomah finished with two touchdown receptions and 95 receiving yards....

Netanyahu claimed the Namaste may help to slow the person-to-person spread of coronavirus on Israeli soil. Traditionally, the Namaste greeting is conducted by placing one’s hands together, palms touching and fingers pointing upwards. It can be used with or without a slight bow of the head, but using the bow is seen as a show of respect to the person being greeted. “Together with the Health Minister and the professional team, I have just completed another discussion on our handling of the corona crisis,” Netanyahu said Wednesday, according to information sent to Newsweek by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs....

Opponents of Netanyahu asked parliament on Thursday for a speedy vote to officially remove him from office. Just hours before, Yair Lapid and coalition partner Naftali Bennett announced they had finalized a deal that would allow them to gain a majority in parliament and build the new government. The coalition is an alliance of eight parties that vary on the political spectrum but share a common objective of ending Netanyahu’s 12-year tenure....

Ahead of Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT’s) must-win away AFC Cup group match against Cambodia’s Beoungket Angkor, the Southern Tigers assistant head coach Ismail Ibrahim has revealed that the encounter will be a juggling act for his side. JDT, currently second-placed in Group F, need to win against Beoungket in order to have a chance to retake the top spot from Philippines’ Global FC, but they also have another do-or-die mission in their next match....

Hopkins puts his IBF light heavyweight title on the line Oct. 26 in Atlantic City. But the thought of doing battle with … wait for it … the toughest boxer pound for pound on the planet is too much. Even if Hopkins, at age 48, must drop to 160 pounds to meet Mayweather. "Floyd, his skills are so out there that he can risk going up to 160," Hopkins told SI....

The Premier League leaders swept West Brom aside at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday to move 15 points clear at the top of the table, but their 3-0 victory came at a price. David Silva was forced off with a suspected hip injury and both Kevin De Bruyne and Brahim Diaz were on the receiving end of robust tackles from James McClean and Matt Phillips respectively. Phillips’ lunge, which earned a yellow card, seemed to anger Guardiola in particular as it came just days after Leroy Sane suffered ankle ligament damage following a crude challenge from Cardiff City’s Joe Bennett....

Sanders’ mittens quickly caught the eye of viewers, and social media users sought out the manufacturer. But anyone looking to find a company—or even a website—from which they could order the same mittens were left empty-handed. That’s because they came from humble origins as a gift to the senator. Jen Ellis of Essex Junction, Vermont, reportedly made the mittens and gave them to Sanders more than two years ago. Ellis is a second-grade school teacher, and her daughter’s daycare is run by Sanders’ daughter-in-law, Liza Driscoll....

Fearing weak turnout, especially among young voters and working-class Americans, Sanders, a Vermont independent who regularly caucuses with the Democrats, is set to begin his blitz in Oregon on October 27, making his way to California, Nevada, Texas and Florida before capping off his second weekend in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. “It is rather amazing to me that we are in a situation right now, which I hope to change, where according to poll after poll, the American people look more favorably upon the Republicans in terms of economic issues than they do Democrats,” Sanders told the New York Times on Wednesday....

According to a recent Monmouth poll, Sanders came in first with 24 percent of voters throwing their support behind him. Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg came in second place with 20 percent while former Vice President Joe Biden rounded out the top three with 17 percent. With only 97 percent of the results from the Iowa Democratic caucus released Thursday, Sanders and Buttigieg were virtually neck and neck for the lead....

A group of 10 Senate Republicans, led by Senator Susan Collins of Maine, sent a letter to the White House on Sunday requesting a meeting with Biden to discuss a smaller stimulus proposal that they believed could pass quickly through Congress with bipartisan backing. The proposed package is significantly scaled back, totaling $600 billion—or less than a third of Biden’s proposal—with just $1,000 direct payments. Although Sanders, a progressive Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats, reiterated in an interview with ABC News on Sunday that Biden and Democrats want Republican support, he stressed the need to adequately address the crisis....

The moderator, Jorge Ramos—who was tossed from a news conference by presidential candidate, Donald Trump, in 2015—said others have maintained it was not a coup, and that Morales was attempting to become a dictator. “I don’t agree with that assertion,” Sanders responded. “I think Morales did a very good job in alleviating poverty and giving the indigenous people of Bolivia a voice that they never had before.” “Now we can argue about his going for a fourth term, whether that was a wise thing to do… But at the end of the day, it was the military who intervened in that process and asked him to leave....

“The first thing we have to do, whether or not I am president, is to shut this president up right now,” Sanders said during the 11th Democratic debate in Washington D.C. on Sunday night. “He is undermining the doctors and scientists who are trying to help the American people. It is unacceptable for him to be blabbering with un-factual information that is confusing the general public,” the Vermont senator added....

The Vermont senator said his GOP colleagues were “very distressed” about jobless Americans receiving an extra $600 a week in unemployment benefits for four months under the bailout bill, and mockingly added that the universe was collapsing. But he also suggested U.S. lawmakers needed to adopt a less “convoluted” approach to keeping households afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and praised the U.K.’s plans to pay 80 percent of all private sector salaries....
