Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy has been cleared by doctors. McCoy had suffered an aggravated nerve in his neck in Sunday's 24-0 loss to St. Louis and couldn't finish the game. But he practiced all week and took every first-team snap Friday. Coach Jay Gruden called Friday's visit to a neck specialist a formality, as he said McCoy had not shown any reason to suggest he wouldn't play. Gruden said the team wanted McCoy to see the doctor one more time "to make sure we're 100 percent su

The Denver Broncos placed Montee Ball on injured reserve, ending a disappointing season for the once-heralded running back. The Broncos needed to create roster space in order to activate linebacker Danny Trevathan from injured reserve/designated to return, prompting the team to place Ball on season-ending IR. Ball has not played since aggravating a groin injury in a loss to the Rams. He originally suffered the injury against the Cardinals. Ball, who entered the season as Denver's top running

All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson’s appeal of a league suspension for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy has been denied. Peterson's appeal was heard by former NFL executive Harold Henderson last week in Washington, D.C. Henderson was appointed by commissioner Roger Goodell as arbitrator to hear the sides' cases and issue a ruling. In upholding the NFL’s initial ruling, Henderson concluded that Peterson "has not demonstrated that the process and procedures surrounding his discip

Minnesota Wild’s Keith Ballard has been released from the hospital, diagnosed with multiple facial fractures and a concussion after colliding with the boards. The Wild announced Wednesday that Ballard will be out indefinitely. Ballard was hurt when he tried to turn away from Matt Martin as the left wing charged toward him. Ballard was driven face-forward into the dasher board, and his head bounced hard on the ice after he fell. At one point, Ballard appeared to be convulsing as medics hustled ou

Hundreds of fans, many clad in his famed No. 4 jersey, and a who's who of hockey stars and politicians paid an emotional farewell to Montreal Canadiens great Jean Beliveau on a snowy Wednesday. The afternoon funeral for Beliveau, who died last week at 83, was held at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral and featured affectionate eulogies from former Canadiens teammates Dickie Moore, Yvan Cournoyer, Serge Savard and Ken Dryden, as well as Canadiens owner Geoff Molson. "It is a tremendous honor to

The Dodgers have agreed on a trade that will send Matt Kemp to the Padres. Los Angeles will receive catcher Yasmani Grandal, pitcher Joe Wieland and another prospect, the source said, while the Padres get Kemp and catcher Tim Federwicz. The prospect is right-hander Zach Eflin, according to multiple media reports. The Dodgers will also send about $32 million to San Diego to cover part of Kemp's remaining $107 million salary. The trade helps alleviate a logjam of outfielders in the organization.

Redskins cornerback Bashaud Breeland and receiver Andre Roberts exchanged punches during the individual portion of practice, adding yet another layer of drama to the team's season. Breeland and Roberts were involved in a play in which the rookie corner broke up a pass to Roberts. It appeared as they fell to the ground that Roberts accidentally kneed Breeland in the groin. As Breeland stood up, he grabbed his groin, walked a few steps and bent over; Roberts' back was turned at the time. A minute

NFL owners Wednesday unanimously approved a revised personal conduct policy, commissioner Roger Goodell announced. The new policy takes effect immediately. Among the key changes: • The policy embraces the use of independent investigations. To that end, the NFL will hire a special counsel for investigations and conduct who will oversee initial discipline. • The policy will implement an element of leave with pay during investigations of people charged with violent crimes. • The commissioner wil

Former teammates joined hundreds of fans and Quebec's premier at the Bell Centre on Sunday to pay tribute to Jean Beliveau, one of the greatest Montreal Canadiens. Beliveau, who died Tuesday at 83 after a long illness, lay in a closed casket at center ice. Fans stopped briefly to give their sympathies to Beliveau's wife, Elise -- who shook every hand that passed -- as well as his daughter and granddaughters Magalie and Mylene. The casket lay between two giant posters of Beliveau in his prime

Paul MacLean, who won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's coach of the year just two seasons ago, was fired Monday by Ottawa Senators and replaced by assistant Dave Cameron, it was announced. The news was released via the team's Twitter account and marked the first head-coaching change of the 2014-15 seasons. The Senators were off to an 11-11-5 start and are 10th in the Eastern Conference. General manager Bryan Murray, speaking at a news conference Monday at Canadian Tire Centre, said Cameron,

Cleveland finalized a trade, the first of the winter meetings, that had been in the works for weeks by acquiring Moss, a first baseman/outfielder and All-Star last season, from the Oakland Athletics on Monday for minor league infielder Joey Wendle. Moss, 31, batted .234 with 25 homers and 81 RBIs in a career-high 147 games for the A's this past season. The left-handed hitter drew 67 walks and scored 70 runs. Moss hit .268 with 21 homers in the first half of the season to earn his first All-Star

Clemons adds depth to Arizona's secondary and a familiarity with the Cardinals' defensive scheme. One reason the 29-year-old was signed was as an insurance policy in case surgery on safety Tyrann Mathieu’s left thumb doesn't go as planned. Another reason was because Clemons played for Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles from 2009-11. "Chris is a big, active safety Todd has had in the past," Arians said. "He is aware of our system and we'll plug him in and see what we can get out of hi

The Atlanta Police Department's public affairs office issued a statement confirming the accusation. "The Atlanta Police Dept. has been contacted by a female who advised she was sexually assaulted by Sammie Hill, who is a NFL player. We are working with the female to obtain information about this incident. At this time, the report is not available," the statement said. Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said at his Monday afternoon news conference the team was aware of the allegation and would soon issu

Further testing on Eric Berry confirmed that he has Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"The goal of Mr. Berry's treatment is to cure his lymphoma and we are beginning that treatment now."Berry, 25, is from the Atlanta area and has chosen Emory for his treatment. He als
