Trump administration cuts nearly $8B in clean energy projects in states that backed Harris
SUMMARY: The Trump administration has announced the cancellation of $7.6 billion intended for clean energy projects across 16 states. Each of those are states where both senators voted against the Republican bill to keep the federal government open. The cuts likely will affect battery plants, hydrogen technology projects and more. The announcement Thursday by the Energy Department came after the Republican funding bill couldn't muster enough votes to pass in the Senate, initiating a federal government shutdown. The Trump administration says the projects do not align with national energy needs, while critics argue the move is politically motivated and could raise energy costs and threaten thousands of jobs.

Constellation Energy to spend $340M to improve water quality at Maryland's Conowingo Dam
SUMMARY: Constellation Energy has agreed to spend more than $340 million to improve water quality from the Conowingo Dam that flows into the Susquehanna River and eventually ends up in the Chesapeake Bay. The agreement announced Thursday clears the way for the re-licensing and continued operation of the dam’s hydroelectric facility on the Susquehanna, which is the largest source of renewable energy in Maryland. The agreement marks an end to wrangling over who is responsible for addressing pollution in sediment that gets stuck in the dam and ends up being released downstream and into the bay.

Still no Lamar Jackson, but Nate Wiggins and Ronnie Stanley return to practice for the Ravens
SUMMARY: Offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley and cornerback Nate Wiggins were back at practice for the Baltimore Ravens, but star quarterback Lamar Jackson and safety Kyle Hamilton were absent during the portion open to reporters. Hamilton did not seem injured during last weekend’s loss at Kansas City, but he showed up on Wednesday’s injury report as limited in that day’s practice because of a groin issue. He was not on the field early in Thursday’s session. Neither were linebacker Roquan Smith and cornerback Marlon Humphrey. The returns of Stanley and Wiggins were encouraging, however, for a depleted Baltimore team that needs all the healthy players it can find this weekend against Houston.

Houston has lost 6 straight to Baltimore, but Lamar Jackson may not be available this week
SUMMARY: Baltimore has won six in a row in its series with Houston, but star quarterback Lamar Jackson might not be available for the Ravens when they host the Texans this weekend. Houston has lost three times to Baltimore since the start of the 2023 season, and the Texans didn’t score an offensive TD in any of those games. That trend may not continue either. The Ravens are depleted by injuries on defense and have allowed 133 points in four games.

Air Force-Navy football game is still on despite government shutdown
SUMMARY: The Air Force-Navy football game is set to proceed as planned despite the government shutdown. The Naval Academy Athletic Association, a nonprofit, operates independently, limiting the shutdown's impact on Navy's teams and the game Saturday. Navy said all games will be played, though a spokesman notes that some military coaches are affected. Air Force sports information director Troy Garnhart, a civilian, is unable to work due to the shutdown. Air Force won't stream home athletic events, and updates will be delayed. Despite this, Air Force Academy confirms all intercollegiate events will continue as scheduled.

Chargers host Commanders as top rookie rushers Hampton and Croskey-Merritt match up
SUMMARY: The Los Angeles Chargers will host the Washington Commanders on Sunday as both teams look to bounce back from disappointing Week 4 losses. The Chargers' undefeated start ended with a 21-18 defeat at the New York Giants after struggling to stop the run. The Commanders didn't have starting QB Jayden Daniels because of a knee injury as they fell 34-27 at the Atlanta Falcons. The game features two of the top rookie running backs in the NFL in the Chargers' Omarion Hampton and Jacory “Bill” Croskey-Merritt for the Commanders.

Terry McLaurin will miss a second straight game for the Commanders with a quad injury
SUMMARY: The Washington Commanders have ruled wide receiver Terry McLaurin out for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The team announced Thursday that McLaurin, receiver Noah Brown and guard Sam Cosmi would not travel to Los Angeles. McLaurin injured his quadriceps muscle in Week 3 against Las Vegas and did not play in last weekend’s loss at Atlanta. It’s still been a positive week of preparation for the Commanders. Star quarterback Jayden Daniels returned to practice Wednesday and said he plans to play Sunday. McLaurin missed training camp while negotiating a new contract. He has 10 catches for 149 yards on the season.

From Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin to Brad Marchand, hockey is becoming a sport for old men
SUMMARY: Sidney Crosby was a point-a-game producer at 37. Brad Marchand scored six goals in the Stanley Cup Final at the same age, when 40-year-old Corey Perry was also one of the best players in the series. Alex Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky’s career goals record at 39. Thanks to changes in sports science, training and technology over the past two decades, the NHL’s window for stars to remain in their prime seems longer. Significant investment by ownership groups has helped, and it could eventually deepen the player pool with expansion coming at some point.

Ravens have shut down the Texans recently. But now Baltimore's defense is depleted
SUMMARY: Baltimore and Houston are both 1-3, which adds plenty of urgency to their matchup Sunday. The Ravens had to face Buffalo, Detroit and Kansas City already, so their record wouldn’t be worth panicking over — if they were still at full strength. But they are far from it. The Ravens are decimated by injuries and have had few answers for the offensive stars they’ve gone up against already this season. Baltimore has allowed 133 points in four games. The situations has reached a point where Lamar Jackson’s possible absence is far from the Ravens’ only concern as they prepare to host Houston.

Cowboys will try to bounce back from disappointing tie last week when they face the winless Jets
SUMMARY: The Dallas Cowboys are set to face the New York Jets on Sunday. Dallas has a 1-2-1 record, while the Jets are 0-4. Dallas tied with the Packers last week, while the Jets lost to the Dolphins. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott leads the NFL in passing yards and completions. The Jets' defense has struggled, especially in pass coverage. Key players to watch include Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens and Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. The Jets are looking to avoid their fourth 0-5 start in franchise history and first since starting 0-13 in 2020 under Adam Gase.

Josh Hart ejected from Knicks' preseason game after slipping to court and throwing ball
SUMMARY: Knicks forward Josh Hart was ejected from the opening game of the preseason after slipping to the court and then throwing the ball when a Philadelphia player tried to take it from him while he was on his back. Hart had grabbed a defensive rebound early in the second quarter and was dribbling the ball upcourt when he fell in front of the 76ers bench. Philadelphia’s Kennedy Chandler tried to steal the ball, and Hart turned away to protect it and threw it toward the other end of the court. Hart got up and limped off the court with what appeared to be a lower back injury.

Shohei Ohtani to make postseason pitching debut for Dodgers in Game 1 of NLDS
SUMMARY: Shohei Ohtani is set to make his postseason pitching debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He will start against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. The Dodgers open the best-of-five series on Saturday in Philadelphia. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Ohtani as the starter after the Dodgers completed a sweep in the NL Wild Card Series on Wednesday night. Ohtani didn't pitch last season due to elbow surgery. He finished this regular season with a career-high 55 home runs. Ohtani never made the playoffs during his six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.

Jets' Braelon Allen placed on IR with knee injury; Khalil Herbert signed off Seahawks practice squad
SUMMARY: The New York Jets have placed running back Braelon Allen on injured reserve because of a knee injury. Allen will be sidelined for at least four weeks. Allen was injured last Monday night during a game against Miami. The Jets signed veteran Khalil Herbert off Seattle's practice squad on Thursday to fill Allen's roster spot. With Allen out, Isaiah Davis is expected to see more playing time behind starter Breece Hall. Herbert spent his first three-plus seasons with Chicago and was teammates with Jets quarterback Justin Fields.

Ben Rice in Yankees' lineup against Red Sox rookie left-hander Connelly Early
SUMMARY: Ben Rice is in the New York Yankees’ lineup for Thursday’s decisive Game 3 of the AL Wild Card Series against Boston Red Sox rookie left-hander Connelly Early. Rice did not start the series opener against lefty Garrett Crochet, who struck out 11 and allowed four hits in a dazzling 7 2/3-inning performance in Boston’s 3-1 win on Tuesday. Before the series opener, manager Aaron Boone said Paul Goldschmidt would start against any left-hander the Yankees faced. Rice homered on the first pitch he saw from right-hander Brayan Bello in New York's 4-3 win on Wednesday.

Schlittler's playoff gem for Yankees against rival Red Sox prompts Boone to say `A star is born'
SUMMARY: Cam Schlittler has become an instant star for the New York Yankees, delivering a dominant performance against the rival Boston Red Sox in a playoff elimination game. The 24-year-old rookie pitched eight overpowering innings with 12 strikeouts and no walks as New York beat Boston 4-0, advancing to the Division Series against Toronto. Schlittler, who grew up a Red Sox fan in Massachusetts, prepared by speaking with Yankees great Andy Pettitte. Schlittler's fastball reached 100 mph, and the right-hander struck out more batters than any other Yankees pitcher in a postseason debut. New York manager Aaron Boone praised Schlittler's fearless approach.

Ryan McMahon flips head over heels into Red Sox dugout to make highlight-reel catch for Yankees
SUMMARY: Ryan McMahon looked up and saw Jarren Duran’s foul popup veering toward the Boston bench. Without hesitation, the New York Yankees third baseman raced over. As he made a running catch, McMahon hit the padded railing and flipped head over heels into the Red Sox dugout, crashing to the ground while hanging onto the ball. McMahon’s courageous catch in the eighth inning Thursday night helped New York close out a 4-0 win over Boston in the deciding Game 3 of their AL Wild Card Series, advancing the Yankees to a best-of-five Division Series against Toronto. It was a play that brought back memories of shortstop Derek Jeter’s famous grab for New York when he crashed into the Yankee Stadium seats against the Red Sox in July 2004.

Schlittler strikes out 12 in postseason debut as Yankees beat Red Sox 4-0 to win Wild Card Series
SUMMARY: Rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler struck out 12 in eight dominant innings and the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 4-0 to win their AL Wild Card Series in a deciding third game. Taking his place in Yankees-Red Sox rivalry lore, the 24-year-old Schlittler overpowered Boston with 100 mph heat in his 15th major league start and pitched New York into a best-of-five Division Series against AL East champion Toronto beginning Saturday. The Yankees became the first team to lose the opener of a best-of-three Wild Card Series and come back to advance since Major League Baseball expanded the first round of the playoffs in 2022.

Brian Schottenheimer leads Cowboys against Jets long after coming of age in New York
SUMMARY: Brian Schottenheimer is the head coach leading the Dallas Cowboys into New York nearly two decades after he was a hot coaching commodity for the Jets. Schottenheimer turned down chances to follow in the footsteps of his late father, Marty Schottenheimer. He didn't think he was ready. The younger Schottenheimer doesn't regret skipping on those opportunities in the early 2000s. Schottenheimer thought his window to become a head coach had closed when the Cowboys promoted him from offensive coordinator in January.

The Steelers spent the offseason building depth. It's given them a boost during their 3-1 start
SUMMARY: The Pittsburgh Steelers have relied on plenty of new faces while getting off to a 3-1 start. Pittsburgh spent the offseason adding depth at numerous positions. It's paid off handsomely in the early weeks, with newcomers like running back Kenneth Gainwell and defensive backs Jalen Ramsey, Jabrill Peppers and Brandin Echols all making an impact. Gainwell ran for a career-high 99 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 4 win over Minnesota while filling in for injured starter Jaylen Warren. Gainwell says he'd like to get the ball more. But he says he would never put his needs above the team's needs.
