Ravens WR Rashod Bateman ‘out for a couple days’ after receiving cortisone injection in his foot to help recovery

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:15:35 GMT

Even as the Ravens welcomed Odell Beckham Jr. to the practice field Tuesday, coach John Harbaugh announced one of the team’s other key wide receivers, Rashod Bateman, will miss “a couple days” of minicamp after he received a cortisone injection to help with his recovery from Lisfranc surgery on his foot.“I’m not expecting ‘Bate’ to be a part of it right now,” Harbaugh said. “He had a shot, for healing purposes, a cortisone-type deal, so that’ll keep him out for a couple days. We decided to just let him keep rehabbing and make sure he’s ready to go for training camp.”Bateman was a limited participant in the Ravens’ three weeks of voluntary organized team activities, and Harbaugh gave no indication that his readiness for training camp is in question.The team’s 2021 first-round pick played just six games last season before electing to have surgery on his injured foot. He also missed the beginning of his...

A healthy Odell Beckham Jr. takes the field for first time with Ravens: ‘It feels good to … not feel pain’

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:15:35 GMT

Odell Beckham’s road from a crumpled figure sprawled out on the Sofi Stadium turf in Los Angeles with a torn ACL in Super Bowl 56 to taking the field for the first time as a Raven was an arduous one, physically and emotionally.It’s no wonder, then, that the simple act of slipping on a jersey for the start of a mandatory three-day minicamp Tuesday at the team’s facility in Owings Mills struck him as a “meaningful” moment. The 30-year-old former All-Pro missed all of last season with what was the second major knee injury of his career and was back at the Ravens’ facility for the first time since signing as a free agent in April. It was his first meaningful football action in nearly 500 days.“I’ve been trying to not think about it because there’s been so many disappointments,” Beckham said. “I’ve been in a good mental head space to where I’ve tried to downplay this, but I think I’ll be excited to put a ...

By COLLEEN SLEVIN (Associated Press)DENVER (AP) — A shooting in downtown Denver amid fans celebrating the Nuggets’ first NBA championship victory was likely sparked by a drug deal gone wrong, police said Tuesday. The violence left 10 people wounded, including one of two suspected shooters.All of the injured are expected to survive, including five or six people that police believe were bystanders not involved in the drug deal, Chief Ron Thomas said at a news conference. He said 20 rounds were fired at the scene, roughly a mile from Ball Arena, where the Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat on Monday night. Police spokesperson Doug Schepman said the shooting was “in the area where we had the largest gathering of folks celebrating during the night,” but the crowd had “diminished quite a bit at that point.”The gunfire broke out at around 12:30 a.m. — about 3 1/2 hours after the game — the Denver Police Department said in a statement.

Eliminating tax cap law among 70-plus amendments to Senate’s $586M tax relief plan

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:15:35 GMT

A Marlborough Democrat wants to repeal the state tax cap law that sent billions in reimbursement checks to residents last year, filing the idea as one of the 70-plus amendments to the Senate’s tax relief proposal scheduled for debate later this week.Sen. Jamie Eldridge said he wants to scrap the voter-passed tax cap law known as Chapter 62F because it creates a layer of unpredictability with state spending. The law required state officials to send nearly $3 billion back to taxpayers in 2022, which threw last year’s tax relief talks out the window.“I don’t think it really serves sound public policy,” Eldridge told the Herald. “I didn’t hear from anyone about ‘this made a big difference in my life to get this tax rebate’. So I do think that it’s important to have this discussion to repeal it and make sure that we’re not worried about it being triggered in the future.”Eldridge filed the repeal amendment to Senate Democrats’ $586 million tax relief plan the...

Quick Fix: Seared Tuna with Gazpacho Sauce features perfect flavor match

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:15:35 GMT

Linda Gassenheimer | Tribune News Service (TNS)I was surprised by a light and refreshing sauce served at a local restaurant. They used gazpacho, a fresh tomato mixture usually served as a cold soup. I decided to use this style of sauce over a seared tuna steak. The flavorful sauce and tender tuna were a perfect match. A slice of garlicky toast with the dish was perfect for sopping up extra sauce.Ahi tuna is best for this recipe. It is also known as yellowfin. Although any tuna can be used for the recipe, ask for sushi-grade ahi for best results, if available.Helpful Hints:— You can use any type of rice.— If you don’t have a blender or food processor, just mix the sauce ingredients well together. The sauce will be chunky but still delicious.Countdown:— Microwave rice and set aside.— Make sauce.— Toast bread.— Sear tuna.Shopping List:To buy: 3/4 pound tuna steaks, 1 package microwaveable brown rice, 1 small bottle reduced-sodium tomato juice, 1 cucumber, whole wheat baguette and olive...

MIAMI (AP) — Supporters of former President Donald Trump honked their horns and screamed wildly as the former president arrived at the courthouse in downtown Miami to make his first appearance on criminal charges that he improperly held on to classified documents. Hundreds of journalists from around the world were also on hand at the federal courthouse, as were anti-Trump protestors. Among the crowd, some waved signs and flags, with the two factions at times shouting over one another. Journalists from China, the UK, Australia, France, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Germany and Switzerland were among the hundreds of reporters who have converged on the courthouse — some having spent several days camped out in the muggy heat.Those gathered outside did not interact with Trump, who rode in an SUV as part of a motorcade that entered the courthouse garage for his hearing on felony charges.
