The Dallas Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb for the rest of the season after the star wideout played through a shoulder injury for nearly two months. Lamb initially sprained the AC joint in his right shoulder on Nov. 3 but has not missed any of the Cowboys' first 15 games this season. "Additional examinations and scans this week on CeeDee Lamb's shoulder have determined that his injury has now progressed to a point that he will be listed as ‘Out' for the remaining two games of the season," a team spokesperson said in a statement to media outlets. "He will undergo a process of treatment and rehabilitation for his shoulder, is not currently expected to require surgery and is projected to make a full recovery." The Cowboys (7-8), eliminated from playoff contention, face two division rivals to close the season. They visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and will host the Washington Commanders in Week 18. Lamb, 25, hauled in 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns this season. It marked his fourth straight 1,000-yard season, and he may be selected to a fourth straight Pro Bowl for his efforts. Lamb signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension in August, covering the 2025-28 seasons. --Field Level Mediamnl168.ph 。

Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, in a veiled attack on the Jan Suraaj Party, accused the newly-formed outfit by Prashant Kishor of functioning as the ‘B team’ of Nitish Kumar’s ruling alliance in Bihar. Hours after police used water cannons to disperse students protesting the recent BPSC exam, the former deputy chief minister, in a video message late on Sunday, said the protesters had been “misled” into marching towards Gandhi Maidan, likely referring to the IPAC founder and his party. “This movement was started by students. The nearly two week-long dharna at Gardani Bagh, where I also had gone recently, had caused the government to tremble. At this moment, came some elements acting as the government’s B team,” alleged Yadav, who is now the leader of the opposition in Bihar. “The protesters were misled into marching towards Gandhi Maidan, despite warnings from the administration against doing so. And, when the time to face lathi charge and water cannons came, those who had offered to lead the protests, chose to run away,” he said. Although Prashant Kishor was not present when the police used force, he had addressed the protesters earlier on Sunday with his supporters. This prompted an FIR to be filed against Kishor, Jan Suraaj Party president Manoj Bharti, and several others. The protesters, who were joined by Prashant Kishor earlier on Sunday at Gandhi Maidan, attempted to march towards the chief minister’s residence in the evening, leading to police action, Patna District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh said. Yadav promised that his party would leverage its influence to “politically” support the protesters’ demand for the cancellation of the Combined Competitive Exams held on December 13, which saw five lakh candidates appearing at over 900 centres across the state. “But you must not get swayed by empty promises. Stick to your guns. January 4 is still a few days away. There is time enough to bring the government to its knees. It is nonsensical to say the BPSC does not come under the government. Its chairman is an appointee of the chief minister, who also happens to hold the Home portfolio, the department which controls the police,” said Yadav. The BPSC has announced a re-examination for over 10,000 candidates assigned to Bapu Pariksha Parisar, an exam centre in the city, where hundreds had boycotted the tests, claiming that the question papers were “leaked.” The BPSC has rejected the allegations, stating that the disruption of the test was part of a “conspiracy” aimed at getting the exam cancelled.

However, there’s no confirmation about the second trailer’s release date, nor has Rockstar addressed the theory.SM Investments Corp. expects slowing inflation to boost consumer demand in 2025, which it said could create opportunities in the Philippine retail sector. “Any moderation in inflation should trigger a strong confidence rebound,” SM President and Chief Executive Officer Frederic C. DyBuncio said in a statement on Thursday. “This could create opportunities in consumer-focused sectors in the country, and we are poised to cater to these evolving demands.” He said the business sector has adapted well despite inflation and the peso’s volatility against the dollar. Household spending rose 5.1% in the third quarter, according to data from the local statistics agency. Inflation quickened to 2.5% in November as prices of vegetables, meat, and fish rose due to a series of typhoons. The peso sank to an all-time low of P59 against the dollar on Dec. 19, though it has since recovered. It closed at P57.97 a dollar on Thursday, 48 centavos stronger than its P58.45 finish on Monday, according to Bankers Association of the Philippines data posted on its website. To meet growing demand, Mr. DyBuncio said SMIC continues to expand to underserved areas. He added that the company continues to contribute to sustainable economic development and collaborate with the government to improve access to modern retail, financial services, and integrated property development. “By investing and expanding to more areas nationwide, SM creates new markets and improves access to these essential sectors, serving more communities and helping stimulate sustained economic activities,” Mr. DyBuncio said. Meanwhile, the group continues to invest in renewable energy and logistics, he added. SM has invested in the clean energy sector via Philippine Geothermal Production Co., which produces 300 megawatts of geothermal steam supply. SM aims to continue to develop geothermal concessions through Philippine Geothermal in support of the Energy department’s goal of reaching 50% renewable energy supply by 2040. The holding company’s property unit, SM Prime Holdings, Inc., has partnered with GUUN Co. Ltd. to implement a technology that converts nonrecyclable and hard-to-recycle packaging into alternative fuel. SM’s consolidated net income grew 9% to P60.9 billion in the first nine months as revenue increased 5% to P462.5 billion. SM shares dropped 2% or P18 to P882 each. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave
