Ray Rice wins appeal, instantly permitted return

Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has taken a huge step nearer to a potential return to the NFL.


NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport first reported Friday that Rice won his appeal and has had his indefinite suspension in the league overturned, according to a source directly associated with the specific situation. Rice is instantly eligible to return by winning his appeal, Rapoport reports.


The NFL Media Group got Judge Barbara S. Jones’ overview and selection:


"In this arbitration, the NFL claims that Commissioner Goodell was misled when he disciplined Rice the first time. Because, after careful consideration of most the evidence, I’m not swayed that Rice lied to, or misled, the NFL at his June interview, I find the indefinite suspension was an abuse of discretion and should be vacated."

Oregon Ducks QB Marcus Mariota ticketed for speeding

For three seasons, college football coordinators have schemed to figure out a way to stop Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota.


All it took the Oregon state police just a small stretch of highway near Eugene to trip him up.


The Ducks signal-caller was pulled over for speeding last week, according to The Oregonian. Mariota was caught driving at 80 miles per hour in a 55 zone.


"Mr. Mariota was polite and respectful, he was professional and took the citation appropriately and acted appropriately," state police Lt. Josh Brooks told the paper. "Everybody gets tickets and 80 in a 55 is a tad fast. We send you on your way, it’s just that."

Indiana’s Tevin Coleman, who’s on the brink of setting his school’s single-season rushing record, is coming off a 307-yard performance and he’s second in the nation in rushing.

South Carolina"s Mike Davis anticipated to go through "Senior Day"

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said Tuesday night he anticipates several juniors, including star tailback Mike Davis, to take part in this season’s "Senior Day."


While a junior participating in a Senior Day event is not always a certain indication that the player is turning professional, it usually is a great index.


"I believe (tailbacks) Mike Davis and Brandon Wilds and, possibly, (offensive tackle) Brandon Shell, I’m not certain, perhaps some of the defensive men," Spurrier told The State newspaper of Columbia after the Gamecocks’ practice Tuesday. & quot;We will have several juniors do the senior walk, and then they’re going to make the choice after whether to go or come back. When they would like to walk twice, that is good, also. We have had several men do that."


South Carolina’s "Senior Day" is Nov. 22, against South Alabama.

Lookout: I do not understand if Oregon"s Marcus Mariota is alpha male

It Is the occupation of NFL scouts, and by extension, the general managers who supervise them, to discover defects in school possibilities.


They all have them — some more noticeable than others — as well as a failure to identify them accurately can establish itself into a wasted draft pick. Therefore, even the top-notch prospects that are considered surefire first-round draft picks will get their share of examination, even supposing it’s more microscopic — or as the case might be, myopic — in nature.


Enter Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, who has 24 touchdowns to only one interception this season, but according to one NFL scout may be overly fine for the NFL. Yep, overly fine.


"Like in case you hit him in the gut, he might apologize to you personally," the scout told Sports Illustrated’s Interior Read. & quot;I simply do not understand if he is that alpha male that you are looking for. The child’s kind of a fly on the wall type of man. Physically, he is actually gifted, but it is likely to have some time. In the event you are expecting him to come in and be your savior year one, I do not believe that is going to be it."

Ankle injury sidelines Lions" Calvin Johnson vs. Falcons

The Detroit Lions will again be without star receiver Calvin Johnson.


Megatron tested out his ankle pregame, running around the field at Wembley Stadium in London, where the Lions will take to the Atlanta Falcons, but the wide receiver was not able to play. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported the Lions’ hope was to get Johnson a complete month of rest, per a source told of the Lions’ selection.


it’ll be the third consecutive missed match for Johnson. Detroit, 5-2, won the preceding two tussles. Yet, Matthew Stafford as well as the Lions’ offense have fought without their Pro Bowl receiver. 


There was some confidence that Megatron, who had been restricted in practice all week, could play before the international crowd. Finally, the Lions determined the most wise move was to give their playmaker an additional week of rest. They expect to have Johnson back in the field following their Week 9 bye.
