Rangers Fall To M’s In Today’s Sports Update

Good morning! Sports brought to you by Paris Regional Medical Center.

A man is suing the Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott for allegedly covering up a 2017 car crash with the help of local police so the star running back wouldn’t miss an upcoming playoff game. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff Ronnie Hill, claims the Cowboys “conspired with the Frisco Police Department to cover up the severity of the accident to assure that Elliott’s health would not be placed in question before their playoff game. The car crash occurred on Jan. 11, 2017, four days before Dallas’ divisional-round matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Elliott ran for 125 yards in the 34–31 Cowboys loss.

Free-agent running back Alfred Morris has agreed to return to the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year contract. Morris previously spent the 2016 and 2017 campaigns with the Cowboys. During that time, he rushed for 790 yards and three touchdowns while primarily playing as a backup to Ezekiel Elliott, who’s currently holding out from training camp in pursuit of a contract extension.

The Frisco RoughRiders defeated Arkansas 5–4 Tuesday night, clinching their fourth consecutive series victory.

Jonathan Hernandez earned the win in relief, permitting just one run in three innings. Emmanuel Clase collected his ninth consecutive save and 11th overall with a perfect ninth inning.

Major League Baseball reportedly has fined, but not suspended, Cleveland Indians’ starting pitcher Trevor Bauer for Sunday’s tantrum that resulted in him throwing the ball from the mound over the center-field fence.

Taylor said the ninth-year receiver underwent the procedure on Tuesday morning, three days after Green was taken off the field during the team’s first practice of the preseason. Taylor declined to cite the specifics about Green’s injury, but said it was a little more extensive than the team initially thought. Taylor also didn’t provide an exact timetable for Green’s return.

Fewer players will be around for the weekend at PGA Tour events starting next season. The PGA Tour’s player advisory council and policy board voted last month to reduce the 36-hole cut size from the top 70 players and ties to the top 65 players and ties starting with the 2019-20 season. The new rule also eliminates secondary 54-hole cuts, which were used if there were 78 players or more who advanced after 36 holes of a tournament.
