Fantasy Football Who's In, Who's Out: Week 14 NFL injury report

Sports

When the Chicago Bears play the Los Angeles Rams in chilly Soldier Field Sunday night, they will apparently do so with Mitchell Trubisky back under center. Trubisky has missed two games with a shoulder injury, but practiced fully all week and is not listed in the status section of Friday's injury report. Said Bears head coach Matt Nagy: "He put together three really good days at practice. The main thing for us was just seeing conditioning-wise if he can hold up and he did." In Kansas City, it appears that Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson will make his fourth consecutive start even though Joe Flacco practiced fully Friday.

Fantasy Football Who's Out, Who's In: Full NFL injury report for Week 2

Sports

When the NFL's official injury report was released Friday for Sunday's games, 24 players were listed as out, but three key names were not among them.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlesberger, who injured his throwing elbow and saw little action early in the we...

AP Explains: Who's affected by computer chip security flaw

Technology

Technology companies are scrambling to fix serious security flaws affecting computer processors built by Intel and other chipmakers and found in many of the world's personal computers and smartphones. The two hardware bugs discovered can be exploited to allow the memory content of a computer to be leaked. Such a leak could potentially expose stored passwords and other sensitive data, including personal photos, emails and instant messages. Researchers at Google's Project Zero and academic institutions including the Graz University of Technology in Austria discovered the problem last year and disclosed it Wednesday. There's no evidence that bad actors have yet exploited the bugs, but companies from Microsoft to Mozilla said this week they have worked to patch up vulnerabilities to their ope...
