The 49ers would benefit greatly from Hargrave’s return because he is their second-best pass rusher behind Nick Bosa. It appears that at least one of the 49ers’ starting defensive tackles will be available against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Javon Hargrave returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous game due to a hamstring ailment, giving him a realistic opportunity to play this week. Meanwhile, Arik Armstead is still out with a knee ailment that has kept him out of the last two games, and he could miss a third in a row. On Friday, Hargrave appeared energised…

Jack Grealish has revealed how he prepares for Manchester City games, including the daily diet he consumes before games. The 28-year-old has been at the Etihad Stadium since a £100 million transfer from childhood club Aston Villa in the summer of 2021.

He has 14 goals in 108 outings for City and is presently with the first-team group in Saudi Arabia as the Blues attempt to win the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup. And he…
The Dallas Cowboys were defeated by the Buffalo Bills in more than one game. In addition to being somewhat exposed and leading to several assumptions about their true status as competitors, their offensive line suffered two major blows. Tyron Smith had a back injury during the game, and RG Zack Martin was unable to finish due to a quad injury, and neither was able to participate in practice all week. Notably, HC Mike McCarthy discussed their condition on 105.3 The Fan, saying that Zack is closer to returning than Tyron, but he didn’t say whether or not they will play…
For many years, the Dallas Cowboys have been recognised as “America’s Team.” While one may argue whether or not that nickname is appropriate, it is certainly true in the media space. Marcus Spears highlighted the benefits of playing for the Cowboys on Thursday’s episode of The Dan Patrick Show. In doing so, the former Dallas defensive end said that wearing the star has opened doors for many former players, including himself, in the media. “There’s a lore to being a Cowboy, man,” added Spears. “For example, I still eat for free around here. People are still calling me to do…
Start, Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023 Every year, the former Formula One champion entertains people on his Christmas card list with a witty take on the year’s most important themes and stories. Just planning the plotting was the caption a year ago, with the card picture picturing feuding team executives discussing and eavesdropping in the pitlane. Previously, Ecclestone mocked social and cultural events of the day, with drivers wearing surgical masks depicted kneeling on the grid and receiving vaccines. This year, however, the now 93-year-old switched gears totally, with his card featuring a tranquil winter farm setting rather than a…
