Star cornerback Sauce Gardner suffered a non-contact calf injury in the first quarter while blocking Texans tight end Cade Stover.

Going into the Week 13 matchup, Gardner amassed 13 total tackles and two passes defended in two games....

just now (689+ words) HALLANDALE: Ukrainian negotiators met US officials in Florida to thrash out details of Washington's proposed framework to end Russia's war in Ukraine, as Kyiv faces pressure on military and political fronts. The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, the special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, sat down with a Ukrainian delegation on Sunday before planned US talks this week in Moscow with Vladimir Putin. Diplomats focused on revisions to a proposed 28-point plan developed in negotiations between Washington and Moscow. That plan has been criticised as being too weighted toward Russian demands. As the meeting began Sunday, Rubio focused on reassuring Ukraine. "The end goal, obviously, is not just the end of the war. But it's also about securing an end to the war that leaves Ukraine sovereign and independent and with an opportunity at real prosperity,…...

1+ min ago (903+ words) The spoils were shared between London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, despite the hosts playing almost an hour of the game with 10 men. The 11 draw meant we saw a repeat of last season's result at Stamford Bridge, and although the Premier League-leading Gunners would've been content with a point beforehand, the events that played out in west London mean Chelsea left the happier of the two teams. However, the Blues, who took a second half lead through Trevoh Chalobah, were unable to close the gap on Arsenal at the summit, primarily because of Mois's Caicedo's warranted first-half red card, and Manchester City will finish the weekend in second after they just about got past Leeds United on Saturday. GK: Robert S'nchez8.3: Commanded his box impressively, with Arsenal's crosses handled well by the Spaniard when he went out to…...

1+ min ago (165+ words) The Rangers will be without defenseman Adam Fox for the foreseeable future. After leaving Saturday's loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning with what the team is calling an upper-body injury, Fox is being placed on long-term IR due to a left shoulder injury and is expected to miss "multiple weeks," according to Vince Mercogliano of The Athletic. By rule, Fox will miss a minimum of 10 games and 24 days, but the Rangers can exceed the salary cap to a certain point as long as Fox remains sidelined. Fox skated off to the locker room after taking a hard shoulder-to-shoulder check from Tampa Bay forward Brandon Hagel along the boards in the third period and was unable to return to the game. Fox not only makes up half of their top defensive pairing, but he also drives this team's offense and is…...

1+ min ago (252+ words) DHAKA (Reuters): Bangladesh's former prime minister Khaleda Zia remains in "very critical" condition at a Dhaka hospital, her party said on Sunday, as her self-exiled son and acting party chief Tarique Rahman signaled uncertainty over his return. Khaleda, 80, who is the leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, was admitted to a private hospital on November 23 with a severe chest infection affecting her heart and lungs, doctors and senior party officials said. Her party has regained prominence after Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's long-serving former prime minister, was ousted in a student-led uprising last year. Rahman, who has lived in London since 2008, wrote on Facebook on Saturday that his return to Bangladesh was "not entirely" in his control, fueling speculation over political or legal hurdles. The interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus later said it had "no restrictions or objections" to…...
