The Steelers quarterback has been cleared to participate in practice Wednesday after being diagnosed with a traumatic ocular migraine Tuesday. MORE: Brain-locked NFL still can’t solve concusion crisis | STEELE: What a lousy season Roethlisberger underwent another imPACT test Wednesday morning and the results allowed team doctors to clear him for workouts. He sustained a helmet-to-helmet hit in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks and took himself out of the game after staying in for the next 10 plays of the drive....

No punches were thrown in the seventh-inning incident, but Fernandez could be heard yelling at Ramirez for throwing near his head. Fernandez, who was nearly hit by Braves starter Julio Teheran in the fifth inning, got in catcher Tyler Flowers’ face before Dee Gordon and then Barry Bonds tried to separate the two. MORE: 20 wildest fights of the past 40 years Ramirez was ejected. Teheran lost his control after allowing four runs in the sixth, including a hit by pitch to Martin Prado....

Play therapy is a tool for helping autistic children become more fully themselves. It can also, under the right circumstances, be a tool for helping parents or guardians learn to relate more fully to their children on the spectrum. What Is Play Therapy? Play therapy was originally conceived as a tool for providing psychotherapy to young people coping with trauma, anxiety, and mental illness. In that context, play becomes a way for children to act out their feelings and find coping mechanisms....

Despite seeing running back Giovani Bernard go out for the season with a torn ACL in a 16-12 loss to the Bills, there remains optimism for five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green, who reportedly suffered a “significant” tear in his hamstring, to return before the end of the season. Green was hit by Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore after a pass sailed over his head. As Green fell to the turf at Paul Brown Stadium, he immediately grabbed the back of his right leg....

After the betting lines shifted toward Cincinnati on Monday, the Bengals entered unfamiliar territory. A team that has thrived on its underdog status is finally facing high expectations despite going into one of the NFL’s toughest environments. Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow pushed back on that idea during his media availability Wednesday, telling reporters: “To me, they’re still the team to beat. And we’re coming for them.” MORE: How Burrow vs....

The Magpies have been without Ghana midfielder Christian Atsu, who suffered a thigh injury against Bournemouth. Jamaal Lascelles and Paul Dummett have also been battling with injuries and the former Liverpool coach is hoping to have them back to be able to recover from their 3-1 defeat to Chelsea last weekend. “They’re closer, but we will see on Tuesday how they feel,” Benitez was quoted as saying by Birmingham Mail....

Certain cells that react against the body are known as autoreactive B cells. One of the important proteins for the growth of these B cells is called B-lymphocyte stimulator, or BLyS. Benlysta works by binding to BLyS, which means that BLyS can no longer bind to and activate the autoreactive B cells. By doing this, Benlysta helps decrease disease activity. Benlysta is available as a subcutaneous (under the skin) or intravenous (IV) injection....

On that same night four months ago, Bruce Arena was in the building for the announcement that the venue would be hosting a big U.S. national team World Cup qualifier against Panama. The two never spoke that night, never crossed paths, and at the time it seemed as though the fact Arena didn’t speak to Feilhaber suggested his days as a national team player were done. Even Feilhaber was left to think that last January’s U....

The 20-year-old died after he was shot by an officer during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center. The incident has sparked severe unrest late into Sunday night amid heightened tensions in the city as the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis officer charged in the death of George Floyd continues. Daunte Wright’s mother, Katie Wright, spoke to reporters on Sunday afternoon and said that her son called her when police had pulled him over for having air fresheners dangling from his rear-view mirror....

MSNBC host Chris Matthews asked Nina Turner, a former Ohio state senator who serves as the Sanders campaign’s co-chair, about Bloomberg financing his campaign with his own fortune rather than relying on donors. Turner responded by suggesting Bloomberg’s actions were shameful, insisting that the former New York City mayor met the description of an oligarch who was trying to “buy” his way into the Democratic nomination “We should be ashamed of that as Americans, people who believe in democracy, that the oligarchs… if you have more money you can buy your way [into the nomination],” said Turner....

In a tweet on Sunday attacking the 80-year-old, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said “I keep forgetting that you’re still alive” in a reply to a post from Sanders. In a follow-up tweet nearly an hour later, Musk added: “Want me to sell more stock, Bernie? Just say the word…” The comments from Musk were condemned by many on social media. Mellisa Byrne, a political activist and former Sanders staffer, tweeted: “Folks, quit buying Tesla....

The Vermont senator told The New York Times Editorial Board in an election endorsement interview that it was “a little bit premature” to name a running mate, with the first nominating contest in Iowa still 21 days away. But he did confirm that the vice president in any Sanders White House would “not be an old white guy” and discounted the chances of former Vice President Joe Biden, saying his eight years in the office were “probably enough....

The video, titled “Bernie How To: Talk Politics at Thanksgiving,” is an excerpt taken from the campaign podcast Feel the Bern. It was released Tuesday, two days before the holiday is set to be observed in the United States. Podcast host Briahna Gray asked Sanders about potentially contentious political conversations that could take place over Thanksgiving. She claimed Sanders is “known for being so well respected across the aisle” and asked if he could offer any advice on how like-minded people could convince their conservative family members to “come on board to progressive politics” during the holiday....

Sanders has also called for tax increases on America’s top earners to cover the cost, which he says both Democrat and Republican working-class voters would find acceptable. Sanders headed the drafting of the $3.5 trillion budget proposal after other progressive Democratic Congress members called for spending plans costing up to $6 trillion, the AP said. House Democrats have proposed a 26.5 percent top corporate tax rate to help finance the spending package, but some party members think the rate should be higher or lower....

It hasn’t been an easy season for Bernier. Only a few months ago, it seemed like his days as a player could well be coming to an end. Despite being the captain of the Impact, and despite having been a critical player for the club since its MLS expansion season in 2012, the 36-year-old Montreal native seldom found playing time under erstwhile head coach Frank Klopas over the course of much of the current campaign....

Even with that said, there are always potential depth pieces to add. Our full free agent list has several more interesting WRs, and TEs (Tim Patrick, James Washington, Pat Freiermuth, Evan Engram, Collin Johnson, A.J. Green, Christian Kirk), all of whom could continue to see upticks in targets because of injuries. Unfortunately, these guys don’t profile as roster saviors by any means. They might be Week 4 saviors, though, and playing things a week at a time is never a bad move in fantasy....
