INDIANAPOLIS – Ole Miss Quarterback Matt Coral, speaking Wednesday at the NFL Scout Factory, said she “does not regret” her performance at the Sugar Bowl in January and is on track to be at full speed for her professional day at 24 March campus.

Coral will not throw against the plant – the quarterbacks will have training on the field on Thursday – because he is still recovering from an injury to his right ankle, which he received in the first quarter of the loss of Ole Miss from Baylor. Coral said Wednesday that the injury was “high ankle sprain, no fractures, no tears”.

Several teams asked Coral in official interviews at the plant if he regretted playing in the cup game and did not give up, he said.

“They asked me if I was sorry, and I said, ‘Absolutely not,'” Coral said. “I never thought of giving up … I never thought about it. I would play independently.”

Coral said his recovery from the injury, which was originally planned for six to eight weeks, was going well enough that he had recently begun to make full concessions in his training and run in his condition.

“About two weeks ago, I started throwing and running,” Coral said. “… I’m throwing at 100% right now. I just started taking a comeback about two and a half weeks ago. Before that, I was just throwing from places without taking any returns.”

Coral has surpassed 3,000 yards with passes in each of his last two seasons at Ole Miss and has combined 49 touchdowners. He threw 3,349 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2021 and rushed for 614 yards and 11 touchdowns.

ESPN’s junior coral Mel Cyprus is listed as the No. 3 quarterback in the draft behind Kenny Pickett of Pete and Malik Willis of Liberty. ESPN’s Todd McShay has Coral as the No. 27 overall as well as quarterback number 3.

“I can’t introduce myself physically [at the combine]but I can definitely show the teams what I know mentally, “said Coral.

Russian licensed pilots, such as Nikita Mazepin from Haas, will not be allowed to compete in the British Grand Prix, it was announced on Wednesday.

David Richards, chairman of Motorsport UK, and the organisation’s board confirmed in a statement that licensed racers from Russia and Belarus would not be approved to participate in motorsport events in the UK, which potentially barred Haas Mazepin from racing. Silverstone on July 3.

The announcement comes after the FIA ​​ruled on Tuesday that Russian and Belarusian drivers will be allowed to continue racing under a neutral flag, allowing Mazepin to stay in Formula One with Haas.

However, it is likely that Mazepin will still compete in the British Grand Prix if he manages to get a license from another country.

“The entire Motorsport community in the United Kingdom condemns the military action by Russia and Belarus in Ukraine and expresses its solidarity and support for all those affected by the ongoing conflict,” Richards said.

“We are united with the people of Ukraine and the motor sports community after the invasion and the unacceptable actions that took place. It is time for the international motorsport community to act and show support for the people of Ukraine and our colleagues in the Automobile Federation of Ukraine (FAU). “

On Tuesday, the World Motorsport Council (WMSC) confirmed that no FIA international competitions will be held in Russia and Belarus until further notice, although Formula One already announced last week that this year’s Russian Grand Prix will be canceled. .

FIA President Mohamed Ben Sulayem said the WMSC’s decision was “in line with recent recommendations from the International Olympic Committee”.

“As you know, the FIA ​​is watching the events in Ukraine with sadness and shock, and I hope for a speedy and peaceful resolution of the current situation. We condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine and our thoughts are with all those who are suffering as a result of the events in Ukraine, “said Ben Sulayem.

“I would like to emphasize that the FIA, together with our organizers, took an active part in this issue last week and communicated about Formula 1, Formula 2, WTCR and the International Drifting Cup, respectively.

The WMSC decision added that Russian or Belarusian national teams would not be eligible to participate in international competitions and that “Russian / Belarusian national symbols, colors, flags (uniform, equipment and car) should not be displayed.”

In response, Motorsport UK said: “No Russian / Belarusian licensed team is approved to compete in motorsport competitions in the United Kingdom, no Russian / Belarusian licensed competitor and officials are approved to participate in motor sports events in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom and there are no Russian / Belarusian national symbols, colors, flags (of uniform, equipment and car) to be displayed at authorized Motorsport UK events. “

The statement added that Motorsport UK’s decision was taken after full consultation with the UK government and national sports governing bodies.

There were no “new updates” on the Aaron Rodgers front, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst told the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday.

Gutekunst said “no one” has called for a deal for the current NFL MVP, despite rumors that it will become a hot commodity in the commercial market. The Packers general manager said he expects to know what Rodgers wants to do before the league’s new year begins on March 16.

“There are a lot of decisions that need to be made before that. So that would be useful. I think we will know something before that,” he said.

Whether Rodgers was a quarterback during that game or the start of the 2022 season is still in question.

According to NFL.com on Monday, Packers and Rodgers are working on a deal and “holding discussions.” It is reported that the potential deal will be short-lived and will make Rodgers the highest paid player in the NFL on an annual basis.

Green Bay will also have to decide whether to re-sign Davante Adams.

Gutekunst said Tuesday that the decision on Adams’ contract is not tied to what Rodgers decided to do.

“These two situations are completely different. They are two different players and two different situations, both great in their own right. We were lucky to have them and hope we can move forward. But they are separate,” he said. manager.

The deadline for the NFL franchise label is March 8.

Howie Roseman will address NFL Combine 2022 reporters later today around 1:15 p.m.

But we don’t really have to wait until we hear the Philadelphia Eagles’ general manager. Roseman recently sat down with Dave Spadaro for one interview for the official website of the team.

By the nature of his employment, we know that Spuds will not put pressure on Roseman in the way that Phil’s media contingent is expected. Still, Roseman offered consistent answers that stood out.

DAVE SPADARO: I guess what I wanted to find was talking to the young talent on the list. Do you feel good with the young talent on the list?

HOWIE ROSEMAN: Yes, I do. I have the feeling that we have some good, young players. But I don’t want you to feel like we’re happy with what we have. There are areas where we have been able to do better in the last few years. And we spent time looking at how we could do these things better.

I think the most important thing for all of us is not to be happy. It continues to evolve. Continuing to look at areas where we may be able to improve. Let’s keep talking and communicating with each other and find out what’s going on in the league. What are the trends, how can we stay ahead of the trends.

Because … it’s really hard to win a Super Bowl. right? You see all these great players who might have one Super Bowl win and you look at these guys and you say to yourself, “Man, how come these guys only have one Super Bowl win? These are great, great players. ‘

Well, it’s hard. It’s hard to be the last team on the line. You need so many things to go right. So if you just do things that are in the middle, the way the league somehow sets that up, yes, you can win 10 games, you can get to the playoffs. But it’s hard to be a world champion. It’s hard for confetti to fall on your head when you do things like that.

So, you have to be ready to at least go out of the box, to expose yourself there. And if you do, yes, there is some risk involved, but there is a huge benefit.

I wondered how Roseman deviated from the original question here. I also couldn’t help but think of his answer, as it has to do with the Eagles quarterback situation.

There is a common belief that the Eagles should NOT make a big move as a quarterback this offseason. That they have to be patient, stick to Jalen Hurts and try to build a list around him. That the Eagles are “too far away” to take the risk of spending significant assets to acquire a proven veteran such as Russell Wilson, Deshon Watson or Aaron Rodgers.

But the idea that there is no risk in inaction is wrong. Satisfied with less of the most important position in all sports, the Eagles may miss their window to upgrade such a critical place. Playing “safe” is not a guaranteed path to high-level success.

Perhaps Roseman did not mean the quarterback’s position as much as he agreed. Let’s look at his next answer.

DAVE SPADARO: Howie, a trick that fans always have. $ 208.2 million now. How would you describe where the eagles sit in this hat?

HOWIE ROSEMAN: I think when you ask me where we are, we have the flexibility to make moves. But this flexibility is not infinite. So, for us, we just want to make sure that every move we make is in line with our plan not only in 2022, but also in 2023. And, as you said, I’m not looking at 2025. That’s it. hard. And I’m not saying that, as if I don’t care about the Philadelphia Eagles in 2025, because I’m doing it, and it’s our job to make sure it’s in the right place in the future. But I think it’s too hard, there are too many moving parts to think that far.

So, we don’t want to be in a situation where we’re doing something so short-term right now that it’s really making it difficult for us to move forward. Especially, as you said, when some of these young players show up. Some of these young players we don’t want to leave here, we want them to have a chance to end their careers here. We need to make sure that we balance these two things.

Many would argue that Eagles’ exchange for a quarterback veteran qualifies as “something so short-lived” that it really “embarrasses” the team to move forward. Such a maneuver would make a dent in Eagles’ hat space and hamper the ability to add more talented youngsters to the list.

So, Roseman needs to be made to provide ammunition to those on both sides of the Eagles quarterback debate. It is “My wife and mother-in-law”A situation in which you will see what you want to see.

Transparency is not the name of the game when it comes to a general manager speaking in a public environment. Roseman you should not to “distribute the answers to the test”, as he often likes to express it. This is very worth remembering, as we hear from him again later on Wednesday.

New York Liberty are among the original teams left in the WNBA, and the franchise reportedly came under the microscope last season because it treats its players with the simplest things.

Liberty team owners Joe and Clara Tsai have chartered charter flights for players in the 2021 season, Sports Illustrated reported on Tuesday. Charter flights are against the collective bargaining of the league to maintain a competitive balance between franchises.

New York paid for charter flights for five games in the second half of the season, as well as for travel to the Napa Valley, California, according to SI.

Liberty also reportedly proposed that charter flights be the standard for all teams and offset costs for three years, but the plan did not receive enough support from other WNBA owners.

The WNBA denied making a solid offer.

“At no time has there been a proposal from the New York Liberty WNBA Board of Directors to consider offering three-year charter flights to WNBA teams,” the league told the magazine. “It was agreed that Liberty would explore the possibility of charter flights and present it on board. To date, this has not happened.

The charter flight problem reportedly angered the WNBA. The league has threatened to fine Liberty $ 1 million, take away all his drafts and even consider ending the franchise, Sports Illustrated reported.

However, it was decided that Liberty paid only $ 500,000 in fines.

Joe Tsai promised to solve the travel problem that plagued the league in July and October.

WNBA travel issues have been a hot topic as the league’s popularity has grown.

Former Indiana Fever striker Natalie Achonva talks about her team’s travel problems in 2019.

Washington Mystics star Natasha Cloud told NBC Sports Washington in 2019 that the travel situation is “garbage.”

“Where do you see this in the NBA?” I know they play a lot of matches, but we do the same thing in a short period of time for three and a half, four months. So that will make the biggest difference for us, “she said.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun players also suffered travel problems during last year’s WNBA playoffs.

The Sun were forced to split into different planes just to travel, while Sky players had to get up at 3:30 a.m. just to catch their flight in the morning after a loss.

Julie Boheim, the wife of legendary Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boheim, was reportedly robbed in broad daylight in front of a mall in New York on Tuesday.

Frank Reich did his best on Tuesday afternoon to keep alive the opportunity for Carson Wentz to return to the Indianapolis Colts as their starting quarterback in 2022.

The coach, whose approval of Wentz helped convince his team to trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for Wentz and his big off-season contract, would not lie that Wentz will definitely return to India in Year 2.

But he would not throw his husband under the proverbial bus either.

“I know I believe in Carson,” Reich said. “I believe in him. I laid out my neck for him. I was a big part of that decision to bring him here. I believe that he will continue to have many successes as a quarterback. This may be here, this may not be here. That decision has yet to be determined. “

Yes, he left.

It’s March and the Colts had almost two months to evaluate the quarterback they had all last season, but would you like to believe that their evaluation continues?

“I thought that this year, compared to 2020, we somehow got back on track – we defended the ball well, we made some good plays,” Reich told Wentz. “On the positive side, we emphasize the relationship between touchdown and interception and it was where you want it to be. It was a good step, it was a good step from 2020.

“So we will continue to evaluate. The process is underway. We know everyone in this business and everything is valued every year. The second part of this process is that the head coach and the quarterback are under the most attention. So we’re in the middle of the process. “

Folks, this is the process: Wentz rode an amusement park during the season and ended badly, securing his worst outing in the season finale against a terrible team with the playoffs on the line.

And on March 19, this inconsistent quarterback, who is owed $ 22 million, should also receive a bonus from the list of $ 6.294 million. But the trade will clear all $ 28.294 million of them from Indianapolis books.

So if Wentz doesn’t play really well in all the games scheduled for now and March 19 (none), the Colts are moving in a different direction – either by cutting him off or preferably swapping him.

This raises another issue because the Colts will not be involved in an attack on Wildcat or Wing T next year, so they need a new person to play quarterback.

And they need one that is preferably an upgrade.

“I think there are a lot of things in the evaluation process, how he played, it’s dynamic,” said Reich. “It’s complicated, I have to say, it’s complicated. No one is an island unto themselves, that’s the whole picture.”

So the photo should include a replacement for Wentz. And the thing is that the deputy will almost certainly be a veteran.

We know this because the decision to move from Wentz must be made before the draft. And since Reich admitted on Tuesday that he has done very little work in studying the group of quarterbacks that will come out in this year’s draft. And because Indy doesn’t even have a choice in the first round anyway.

This means that the new Colts quarterback, a team ready to win now, will be a veteran.

So we know how the Colts will replace Wentz. But how will they upgrade?

Will they exchange Indianapolis for Jimmy Garopolo? It is not certain that the 49ers will move completely from Garopolo.

The return of Philip Rivers? He had a good season for the Colts in 2020, but is now 40 years old and has been suspended from his last game for a year.

Nick Falls? Reich was his quarterback coach in Philadelphia when the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Foles played well as a backup quarterback for Philadelphia. But Foles was a disaster every time the team signed him up to be their starting quarterback.

Mitchell Trumpets? This seems a more likely direction.

Trubyski never lived up to expectations after being ranked No. 2 overall by the Chicago Bears in 2017. But he had a winning record as a Bears quarterback each of his last three years on the team.

And he seems to have restored his trust and reputation in the league, serving as a backup in Buffalo in 2021.

So this seems like a move the Colts are willing to make – to sign an experienced reserve as a free agent.

This will give the Colts their fifth starting quarterback in five seasons.

“Whatever happens in the end, whether it’s five in five years or if Carson comes back, but that decision is played out in the end, you play the hand they give you,” Reich said. “And just try to play a winning hand …”
