Broncos elevating QB Ben DiNucci, TE Lucas Krull from practice squad and activating WR Brandon Johnson from IR

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:54 GMT

The Broncos will have three quarterbacks available for the first time this season when they play at Houston on Sunday.Denver on Saturday elevated practice squad quarterback Ben DiNucci to the game-day roster, marking the first time Sean Payton’s team has gone into a game this year with a QB potentially in the picture beyond Russell Wilson and backup Jarrett Stidham.There’s been no indication from the Broncos that either Wilson or Stidham is at any risk of missing the game. Neither has been on the injury report this week or at all during the season.The NFL changed a rule this offseason to allow teams to have an emergency third quarterback available as an extra player on the game day roster, but only if he is a member of the 53-man roster. DiNucci is not on the 53-man roster, however, so he must be elevated from the practice squad and take up a spot on the regular gameday roster to be eligible to play.Teams can elevate up to two players per week from the practice squad, and each playe...

Marin Catholic ends McClymonds season, Michael Peters’ coaching career, in dramatic NorCal 3-A title game

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:54 GMT

KENTFIELD — A few moments after a desperation pass by McClymonds hit the turf and Marin Catholic celebrated its 35-28 victory in the NorCal 3-A title game Saturday, Michael Peters took a few minutes to stand by himself and reflect upon his 11 years as the Warriors’ head coach.Peters’ career, one that included four state titles and six NorCal championships, did not have a storybook ending. As he thought about his tenure at his alma mater, which began as an assistant coach in 1992, Peters said he was ready to enjoy retirement, but couldn’t help but feel like it could have been delayed by one more week.“It’s over … my career is done,” Peters said, adding after a sigh, “I know we should’ve played better than that.”McClymonds trailed 21-6 at halftime but got rushing touchdowns from Tajir Golden (61 yards) and Redmani Albert (5 yards) and a fumble recovery for a score by Jajaun Hudson.But on two occasions in the second half...

No. 8 Alabama knocks off No. 1 Georgia 27-24 for SEC title. Both teams await postseason fate

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:54 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Alabama is again the top dog in the Southeastern Conference — and perhaps headed to the College Football Playoff — after ending Georgia’s 29-game winning streak with a 27-24 victory over the No. 1 Bulldogs in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday.Now, the big question: Is Georgia’s bid for a third straight national title over? Iron Bowl hero Jalen Milroe threw a pair of touchdown passes and No. 8 Alabama’s defense dominated much of the way after giving up a score on Georgia’s opening possession — a compelling playoff statement for a Crimson Tide team that lost at home to Texas early in the season.“A lot of people doubted this team,” said Milroe, who was benched early in the season but has bounced back to become one of college football’s most dynamic players. “I never gave up on this team. That’s the biggest thing.”Alabama (12-1) sorted out its quarterback situation and hasn’t lost since. The victory over Georgia was...
