Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:28:26 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson was back on the practice field Wednesday.Whether he starts Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams is still to be determined.Coach Shane Steichen told reporters the highly touted rookie would take all the snaps with Indy’s starting offense, clearing another hurdle in the concussion protocol before reclaiming his starting job.“They’re still in the protocol still but they’re going to practice today,” Steichen said, referring to Richardson and three-time Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly, who both missed last weekend’s 22-19 overtime victory at Baltimore.Neither Richardson nor Kelly spoke with reporters Wednesday. Richardson, the fourth overall pick in April’s draft, was selected as the starter in mid-August. He started each of Indy’s first two games but couldn’t finish either because of injuries.In the season-opening loss to Jacksonville, Richardson left in the final minute with what he described as a bruised knee ...

RAJKOT, India (AP) — Glenn Maxwell returned from injury to help Australia snap its five-match losing streak with a 66-run win over India in their third and final ODI on Wednesday as both teams finalized preparations for the upcoming Cricket World Cup.India had already won the series, which finished 2-1 to the hosts.All-rounder Maxwell claimed 4-40 in 10 overs of spin as India was bowled out for 286 in 49.4 overs in an unconvincing pursuit of Australia’s 352-7 after the visitors chose to bat first.“It is nice to get some momentum going into the ODI World Cup. I have put in a lot of hard work to get fit,” Maxwell said. “The idea was to chop and change with Mitchell Marsh (who didn’t field or bowl). We will be as flexible as possible and that will be the role of all-rounders in the World Cup.”Marsh’s 84-ball 96 with three sixes and 13 fours had earlier helped Australia rectify its batting issues and fellow opener David Warner (56 in 34) also scored his third successive half-centu...

Stock market today: Wall Street loses more ground amid ongoing September swoon

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:28:26 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street continued losing ground Wednesday as stocks continued falling amid already sharp losses for September so far. The S&P 500 fell 0.7% in afternoon trading. It’s coming off a 1.5% tumble from the day before that dragged it to its lowest level since June. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 253 points, or 0.8%, at 33,366, as of 1:52 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.6% lower.Pressure on stocks continued from the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.62% from 4.55% late Tuesday. It’s been generally charging higher as traders accept a new normal where interest rates will stay high for longer. High yields mean bonds are paying more in interest, which makes investors less willing to pay high prices for stocks and other riskier investments.After more than a decade where the Federal Reserve would often cut rates in order to help the economy, still-high inflation is now discouraging the Fed from lowering rates quick...

LYON, France (AP) — Uruguay made the most of three yellow cards for Namibia to win 36-26 and dash the Africans’ hopes of a first ever Rugby World Cup victory on Wednesday.A great 14-0 start had Namibia dreaming of ending a record 25-match losing run in the tournament but three players sent to the sin-bin in the second half helped Uruguay to wipe out a 20-12 halftime deficit.One of the yellows to replacement prop Des Sethie was upgraded to red with 17 minutes to go but the game finished 14 on 14 after Uruguay received a late yellow.Uruguay posted only its fourth ever win at the Rugby World Cup.Despite playing a fourth game in 18 days, Namibia made a quickfire start with some poor play by Uruguay contributing.Namibia stunned its opponent by taking the lead with barely a minute on the clock. An errant Uruguay pass was gladly intercepted by Gerswin Mouton, who sprinted 60 meters unchallenged to dive between the posts. Tiaan Swanepoel had the easiest of conversions.Namibia pulled f...

Colorado supermarket shooting suspect is fit for trial after forced medication, psychologists say

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:28:26 GMT

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Forced medication has significantly improved the mental condition of a man accused of killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021, psychologists testified Wednesday as they told a judge the suspect is now competent to stand trial.Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 24, was found mentally competent by experts at a state mental hospital in August, but his defense attorney Kathryn Herold asked for the determination to be debated in court.Alissa’s mental condition improved this spring after he was forced under a court order to take medication to treat his schizophrenia, said psychologist Julie Gallagher, who testified for the prosecution after reviewing Alissa’s case. “By allowing forced medications, involuntary medication, he was able to take a medication they hadn’t been able to try before and that really made a difference,” Gallagher said. She said the hospital’s finding that Alissa was competent was supported by her review.Alissa entered court in a...
