The anger was evident in Andy Burnham’s voice as he declared that Greater Manchester would stand firm in the face of any UK government attempt to impose a “tier three” restriction on the northern English city-region without adequate financial compensation. The mayor and other local leaders were unanimous in opposing the government’s plans as “flawed and unfair”. A statement from Burnham, the two deputy mayors and Greater Manchester’s ten council leaders declared: “We are fighting back – for fairness and for the health of our people in the broadest sense.”Greater ManchesterCoronavirus Disease 2019PoliticsNorthern EnglandUnited KingdomNorthern IrelandScotlandCity LeadersCity GovernmentCentral GovernmentPolitical LeadersManchester City CouncilLiverpoolTyneDevolution LeadersAndy BurnhamJamie DriscollSteve RotheramRichard LeeseDan JarvisRead Full Story

SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea has reported 386 new cases of the coronavirus, its fourth straight day of over 300, a viral resurgence that could force authorities to reimpose stronger social distancing restrictions after easing them in October to spur a faltering economy.The figures released by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency on Saturday brought the national caseload to 30,403, including 503 deaths.More than 270 of the new cases came from the densely populated Seoul metropolitan area, where health workers have struggled to track transmissions tied to various places and groups, including schools, private tutoring academies, and religious facilities.Officials eased social distancing measures to the lowest level in October, which allowed high-risk venues such as nightclubs and karaoke bars to reopen and fans to return to professional sports.But the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases said in a statement on Friday that the country could be reporting more than 1,000 new infections a day in a week or two if the government fails to effectively strengthen its social distancing measures.___HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE VIRUS OUTBREAK:— Pfizer asks U.S. regulators for emergency use of vaccine candidate— What does emergency use for a potential COVID-19 vaccine mean?— India’s total number of coronavirus cases crosses 9 million, daily numbers declining— Mexico tops 100,000 COVID-19 deaths, 4th country to reach milestone— Health experts clash over use of certain drugs for COVID-19 treatment___Follow AP’s coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-pandemic and https://apnews.com/UnderstandingtheOutbreak___HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:OLYMPIA, Wash. - Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Friday announced $135 million in grants and loans to help businesses and workers hurt by new restrictions he imposed through mid-December.Inslee said that businesses would be able to apply for the assistance to help blunt the impact of restrictions that took effect this week, including the closure of fitness facilities and gyms, bowling centers and movie theaters, and the requirement that restaurants and bars to be limited to to-go service and outdoor dining. The economic package also includes $20 million in rental assistance and $15 million in utility payment assistance for those with low income. All of the funding is part of federal coronavirus outbreak assistance funds distributed to states.___CASPER, Wyo. — Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has announced new limits on indoor and outdoor public gatherings. But he has not implemented a statewide mask mandate as coronavirus cases continue to surge across the state. The Republican governor and state health officer Dr. Alexia Harrist said Thursday that public gatherings will be limited to 25 people or fewer without restrictions. Indoor gatherings will be limited to 25% capacity, and outdoor gatherings will be limited to 50%. The new order goes into effect Nov. 24. No statewide mask mandate was approved, though nearly all of the county health officers have called for one as virus cases, hospitalizations and deaths have substantially increased in recent weeks.___AUSTIN, Texas — Texas has surpassed 8,000 hospitalized coronavirus patients for the first time since a deadly summer surge, and doctors are amplifying pleas to keep Thanksgiving gatherings small.Texas reported more than 11,700 new cases Friday, once again approaching record highs. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has ruled out shutdowns and says cities and counties need to enforce restrictions already on the books, including occupancy limits and face coverings.The Texas Hospital Association is now appealing for families to keep holiday gatherings “very small” as doctors and nurses struggle to keep up with rising caseloads. The group says staff are “tired and emotionally drained” and worried about the health of their own families.___NEW YORK -- Former U.S. Sen. Alfonse D’Amato has been hospitalized with COVID-19.The New York Post reported Friday that the New York Republican was being treated at a Long Island hospital.“I’m weak but I feel good,” the 83-year-old told the newspaper in a phone interview. He said he had a light fever and congestion.D’Amato said he started feeling unwell late last week, and didn’t know where he had gotten exposed to the virus. He said he had been mainly working from home, where he lives alone.D’Amato served as one of the state’s senators in Congress from 1981 to 1999.___LOUISVILLE, Kentucky -- Kentucky reported 3,825 new confirmed coronavirus cases and 20 more virus-related deaths Friday, as new restrictions went into effect aiming to slow the virus’s spread. “Remember, your decisions are going to be what determines how many people live or die. Do your part,” Gov. Andy Beshear said, urging Kentuckians to follow the new requirements. Starting Friday, private indoor gatherings are limited to two households, with a maximum of eight people. For roughly three weeks, bars and restaurants must close indoor dining, though they are permitted to continue curbside pickup, delivery and outdoor dining services. Event venue capacity is limited to 25 people. Gym capacity is lowered to 33%, and group classes, team practices and competitions are prohibited. Beshear has also encouraged houses of worship to refrain from in-person services. ___DETROIT — A judge on Friday declined to halt a three-week ban on indoor dining in Michigan that is one of the most recent coronavirus restrictions imposed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration.The state health department, meanwhile, reported a new daily high of confirmed COVID-19 cases, 9,779, and 53 additional deaths as the virus continued to spike.In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney in Kalamazoo said a restraining order halting the indoor dining ban wouldn’t be appropriate, especially when the state hasn’t had a chance to respond to the lawsuit.The Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association, which has thousands of members, is suing to try to stop the indoor dining ban that began Wednesday. The group said restaurants can take further steps to reduce coronavirus risk without cutting off customers.The group said its members were being unfairly treated compared to other businesses. The judge, however, wasn’t swayed. “Individuals who patronize the businesses that remain open can do so — and must do so — while wearing a face covering. ... In contrast, individuals cannot eat or drink while wearing a mask,” Maloney said.Maloney scheduled the next hearing for Nov. 30, nearly two weeks into the three-week ban.___TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas is including movie theaters among the businesses to receive aid as the state gets close to wrapping up its distribution of federal coronavirus relief funds.Legislative leaders signed off Friday on a proposal from Gov. Laura Kelly’s pandemic recovery office to allocate $38.5 million in federal relief funds. The state received $1.25 billion and must spend the dollars by the end of the year.The proposal called for distributing $20 million for aid to businesses that have struggled because of restrictions imposed during the coronavirus pandemic and $18.5 million on public health.The funds for businesses include $5 million specifically for movie theaters, to be distributed $10,000 per screen. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Troy Waymaster, a Bunker Hill Republican, received assurances during the meeting of legislative leaders with Kelly that one- or two-screen theaters in small towns will be eligible.___SKOPJE, North Macedonia — North Macedonia has declared its first-ever nationwide state of emergency, allowing authorities to more easily use the armed forces as well as private resources to fight the pandemic.The 30-day order, the first of its kind since the Balkan nation became independent in 1991, will take effect Saturday and was imposed after COVID-19 treatment capacity reached its limit.The army will be used to help civilian authorities transport patients and build field hospitals.Government-imposed restrictions have so far failed to curb a rise in infection rates. A total of 1,462 people have died in the landlocked country of around 2 million people from the pandemic — with 39 deaths recorded in the last 24 hours and an estimated 20,000 cases still active.___TORONTO — Canada’s largest city is going back on lockdown. The province of Ontario announced Friday Toronto and the surrounding Peel Region will go into lockdown on Monday. Premier Doug Ford and health officials say they won’t allow indoor organized events or social gatherings except for members of the same household. Restaurants and bars will only be allowed to offer takeout and delivery. Retail will only be open for curbside pickup or delivery except for big box stores. The stricter measures come as Ontario reports 1,418 new cases of COVID-19 Friday, including 393 in Toronto and 400 new cases in Peel Region. Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams says Ontario flattened the epidemic curve before and he’s confident it can be done again.___RALEGH, N.C. — North Carolina on Friday reported its fourth consecutive day of more than 1,500 people hospitalized for the coronavirus. Nearly 3,700 new positive cases were confirmed Friday.North Carolina has seen a substantial increase in the percentage of COVID-19 tests coming back positive. More than 9% of tests came back positive on Monday, and the state has had a positivity rate around 8% over the last two weeks. This is far from the state’s aim to see less than 5% of tests coming back positive.Dr. Mandy Cohen, secretary of the state Department of Health and Human Services, said on Friday that North Carolina will soon ramp up efforts to get more residents to download a contact tracing mobile application ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.Cohen noted a couple of smaller hospitals in the state have “seen stretch in their capacity” but are staying afloat as other hospitals with more beds reduce strain.___PHOENIX — Four Democratic mayors called on Republican Gov. Doug Ducey on Friday to institute a statewide requirement for Arizona residents to wear masks in public, a move that came as state health officials reported over 4,000 additional known COVID-19 cases for the second consecutive day.They accused the governor of failing to provide leadership in the state’s battle against a new surge of the coronavirus.Ducey Chief of Staff Daniel Scarpinato pushed back on the request, noting that the mayors were doing little to enforce their own mask ordinances or ensure that existing safety measures put in place by the governor are being enforced.Ducey said at a news conference Wednesday that he would not impose a statewide order because 90% of the population is already under county and city mandates that he allowed them to implement in June.The state Department of Health Services reported 4,471 new confirmed cases and 43 additional deaths. That increased the state’s totals to 291,696 cases and 6,427 deaths.___PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon has reported a record number of coronavirus cases Friday, with hospitalizations at their highest since the pandemic began. Officials say the state hit a daily record of 1,306 COVID-19 cases, and 414 people are hospitalized. Nearly three dozen current and incoming Oregon lawmakers have sent a letter to Democratic Gov. Kate Brown demanding an immediate increase in COVID-19 testing statewide as case numbers spike. The letter sent earlier this week emphasizes that California and Washington outrank Oregon in testing but Oregon’s test positivity rate — the percentage of tests that are positive — is much higher. Brown has not responded to the bipartisan letter.___BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana will run out of federal coronavirus money before it pays out grants to all eligible small businesses and local government agencies seeking dollars from COVID-19 aid programs.Officials running the programs told the House and Senate budget committee Friday they received more applications than the dollars allocated by Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards and lawmakers.The money comes from direct coronavirus aid that Louisiana received from Congress. Lawmakers earmarked nearly $525 million to reimburse local government agencies’ virus-related expenses. They steered another $260 million to small business grants.The Edwards administration says it has $431 million in outstanding, eligible reimbursement applications from local governments that it can’t pay. The treasurer’s office says it has thousands of business applications it can’t fulfill in that grant program.___NEW YORK — The coronavirus surge is taking an increasingly dire toll across the United States a week before the Thanksgiving holiday. The U.S. is now averaging more than 1,300 COVID-19 deaths per day — the highest since the calamitous spring in New York City. On Thursday, the nation hit a record of nearly 188,000 coronavirus cases. The number of people in the hospital with coronavirus reached an all-time high at more than 80,000.Health experts are concerned Thanksgiving travel and holiday gatherings will fuel the spread of the virus. Many states and cities are imposing near-lockdowns or other restrictions. California ordered a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew, covering 94% of the state’s 40 million residents. New York City closed its schools on Thursday. Total confirmed infections in the U.S. have eclipsed 11.7 million. There have been more than 252,000 confirmed deaths. Both categories lead the world. ___LONDON — The British government says it has asked the country’s medicines regulator to begin assessing a vaccine for COVID-19. Health Secretary Matt Hancock says the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency had begun receiving data from Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech about their vaccine, one of several in development.Hancock says if approved, vaccination of the U.K. population could begin in December “with the bulk of the rollout in the new year.”He says vaccination will be done in stages, starting with the elderly and most vulnerable. The vaccine will be delivered by doctors and pharmacists, in hospitals and at specially built vaccination centers.Hancock says vaccinating the entire population would be a “massive logistical challenge” but the National Health Service was up to the task.___BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota has surpassed 70,000 confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic. The Department of Health reported 1,408 news cases Friday and 23 more deaths. The latest deaths bring the total to 818, in age ranges from 50s to 100s. The department reported 13 new coronavirus hospitalizations Friday for a total of 289.There were seven ICU beds and 187 inpatient beds available in North Dakota, according to state data. ___OMAHA, Neb. — More Nebraska cities are making moves to require masks in public as the coronavirus outbreak worsens and hospitalizations reached a record high. Nebraska set a record of 983 hospitalizations across the state on Thursday, five more than the day before.The Omaha suburbs of Bellevue, Papillion, Ralston, Gretna and La Vista are considering masks in public, the Omaha World-Herald reported. This week, the cities of Beatrice and Kearney passed mask mandates. Grand Island will consider it next week. Nebraska has the fifth-highest rate of infection in the country. Over the past week, one out of every 115 people in the state was diagnosed with the coronavirus, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.On Thursday, 2,663 registered cases raised the statewide total to 109,280.

The NFL has seen major COVID-19 outbreaks for the Titans and Ravens. Big stars and coaches have been stricken by the disease. There have been plenty of scheduling adjustments. Here’s a look at how each team has been affected by the coronavirus.The Titans had the NFL’s first outbreak that forced the first postponement and then rescheduling of a game this season. Their game against Pittsburgh moved from Oct. 4 to Oct. 25 and wiped out their bye week. Their outbreak affected 24 players and personnel and postponed a second game — against Buffalo — for two days to a rare Tuesday night on Oct. 13. Since then, they’ve had only two players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. “What we dealt with was unfortunate, and we handled it the best that we felt like we could,” coach Mike Vrabel said. “Every team is different. Every situation is different. I’m proud of the fact that the past few cases that we had were isolated with zero close contacts, and that’s a testament to our players, our staff.”An outbreak among the Ravens and staff followed an overtime loss to Tennessee on Nov. 22 and decimated Baltimore’s roster heading into a pivotal Thanksgiving rematch with the Steelers. The game was postponed to Sunday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday. When the Ravens got on the field they had gone 10 days without playing and were without several key players, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, the 2019 NFL MVP.Baltimore lost 19-14. Coach John Harbaugh appreciated the play and effort of the backups on the thin offensive and defensive lines.PITTSBURGHThe NFL’s lone unbeaten team dealt with ripple effects of outbreaks elsewhere: moving the Titans and Ravens games, switching their bye week. The Steelers recently sent to the COVID-19 list a group that includes tight end Vance McDonald and running back James Conner. NEW ENGLANDThe Patriots’ Week 4 matchup against the Chiefs was postponed a day after QB Cam Newton tested positive. New England’s game the following week against Denver was twice postponed following positive tests by several players, including star cornerback Stephon Gilmore. In essence, the Patriots lost their bye week.Eight players have gone on the reserve/COVID-19 list, three assistant coaches have been infected — defensive coordinator Ed Donatell missed all of November and was hospitalized at one point with respiratory complications — plus GM John Elway and CEO Joe Ellis were infected.Denver essentially lost its bye week because of New England’s issues, and last Sunday the Broncos lost to the Saints 31-3 without any quarterbacks. Starter Drew Lock, backup Brett Rypien and practice squad veteran Blake Bortles were deemed high-risk close contacts of No. 3 QB Jeff Driskel, who tested positive on Thanksgiving. Players, coaches and the organization have been fined more than $1.2 million and docked a sixth-round pick for COVID-19 violations. The team practiced the entire week before the Tampa Bay game without the starting offensive line after tackle Trent Brown tested positive. The other four linemen returned the morning of the game and the Raiders lost 45-20. Defensive lineman Clelin Ferrell tested positive leading up to the Kansas City game, several other defensive starters missed practice as high-risk close contacts before most returned to play in the 35-31 loss.NEW ORLEANSThe organization was fined $500,000 and stripped of a seventh-round draft pick for repeated protocol violations. Individual players missed games intermittently, most notably receiver Emmanuel Sanders and left tackle Terron Armstead. Coach Sean Payton contracted the virus in the offseason.If anything, the Saints were the beneficiary of another team running afoul of COVID-19 protocols when they played undermanned Denver.The Niners have relocated to Arizona for at least three weeks when Santa Clara County banned contact sports and practices. San Francisco will practice and play its next two home games in Arizona. Receivers Kendrick Bourne and Brandon Aiyuk and left tackle Trent Williams were idle for a loss to Green Bay; several players then were placed on the COVID-19 list after defensive lineman Arik Armstead tested positive following a loss at New Orleans on Nov. 15.CLEVELANDThe Browns spent the better part of the past month dealing with facility shutdowns, virtual meetings and practices being moved or canceled on a nearly daily basis. They’ve placed several players, including star DE Myles Garrett, on the COVID-19 list; he missed two games. Last week against the Jaguars, the Browns also were without starting linebacker Sione Takitaki and fullback Andy Janovich because of positive cases.LOS ANGELES CHARGERSOne of the teams not to have a player opt out for the season, and no player went on the COVID-19 list until late October.But Los Angeles had its bye week moved from mid-November to mid-October, and with other switches, the only thing unchanged from Weeks 6-11 was a home game against Las Vegas remained on Nov. 8.“We don’t say why us. We know there are going to be changes,” coach Anthony Lynn said. “When other games are going to be canceled at some point it is going to affect our schedule. That’s just the way it is.”BUFFALOThe Bills had three games altered: their game at Tennessee, a Thursday night home game against Kansas City switched to the following Monday evening, and the upcoming Monday nighter vs. the 49ers, now being played in Arizona.Tight end Tommy Sweeney tested positive and will miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflamed heart condition linked to the novel coronavirus.MINNESOTAA scare came after Tennessee’s outbreak was reported two days after playing at Minnesota, forcing the Vikings to close their facility and miss a Wednesday practice. Receiver Adam Thielen was the first player of significance to miss a game, but the Vikings beat Carolina without him.The biggest impact of the virus might have come in July when new nose tackle Michael Pierce opted out of the season due to asthma-related health concerns. The Vikings have lacked a run-stuffing presence in the middle.GREEN BAYLeading to a Nov. 5 game at San Francisco, rookie RB A.J. Dillon tested positive and fellow running back Jamaal Williams also was placed on the COVID-19 list as a close contact. Dillon remains on the list.The Packers, like most teams, haven’t played in front of paying fans. They allowed about 300 team employees and family members last Sunday night to test stadium protocols in case paying fans are allowed at games later this season.JACKSONVILLEWith the most players (12) on the COVID-19 list to open training camp, the Jaguars have done better than others since. RB Ryquell Armstead was placed on the list twice, was hospitalized twice and dealt with respiratory issues. Armstead is expected to make a full recovery. The Jaguars did have their bye moved up a week.MIAMISeveral key assistants missed consecutive games: outside linebackers coach Austin Clark, quarterbacks coach Robby Brown, defensive line coach Marion Hobby, and offensive quality control coach Kolby Smith. Defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander missed one match. Only one starter has missed playing time due to the virus: DT Christian Wilkins sat out two games.CINCINNATIAssistant coaches Nick Eason (defensive line), Steven Jackson (cornerbacks), Al Golden (linebackers), Bob Bicknell (receivers) and Mark Duffner (defensive assistant) missed games.Regular cornerbacks Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander, and defensive end Margus Hunt have been on the list. Cincinnati shut down its practice facility midweek in early November after two players tested positive.INDIANAPOLISDE Denico Autry, who leads Indy with six sacks, went on the COVID-19 list two weeks ago. Last week, 2019 Pro Bowl DT DeForest Buckner and rookie RB Jonathan Taylor joined Autry on the list. All three sat out last weekend’s loss to Tennessee.Coach Frank Reich also has said in the wake of last weekend’s quarterback debacle in Denver, the Colts considered sending backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett home to do meetings virtually — in case Philip Rivers contracted the illness. Indy never did that, though.PHILADELPHIAThe Eagles haven’t had any starters miss games because of COVID-19, but coach Doug Pederson had it in training camp.“I’m comfortable and confident that the (safety) protocols we have in place are for the best interests of the football team and all those who enter the building,” Pederson said in August. “It still is a very safe environment.”DETROITThe Lions practiced without Matthew Stafford when they played at Minnesota in early November because the quarterback was deemed a close contact. Stafford, who had a publicized false positive in the preseason, stayed in a hotel away from his family before and after he played in that game.TAMPA BAYOnly one starter has spent time on the COVID list, DL William Gholston, and he didn’t miss a game. Special teams player Jaydon Mickens missed a game,When the NFL directed teams to begin the intensive protocol, prohibiting in-person meetings unless they were outdoors, the Bucs continued in-person meetings at the training facility by setting up tents outside the building and conducting socially distanced meetings in the makeshift spaces.“We’re very, very fortunate to have the facility and the weather that we can meet outside,” coach Bruce Arians said.DALLASQB Andy Dalton’s positive test forced him to miss a second straight game after he had been sidelined for one with a concussion. The Cowboys started rookie Ben DiNucci in a 23-9 loss to Philadelphia. Dalton missed another loss, with Garrett Gilbert facing Pittsburgh.NEW YORK GIANTSFive players tested positive in season. LG Will Hernandez was the first on Oct. 29 and he missed two games. All O-linemen but RG Kevin Zeitler had to isolate because of close contact. The regulars came back without missing any games.And fifth-round draftee Shane Lemieux has played so well Hernandez lost his job.Kicker Graham Gano tested positive last month, was sidelined and is back now.ARIZONAThe Cardinals largely avoided major disruptions. Veteran receiver Larry Fitzgerald missed last weekend’s loss to New England while on the COVID-19 list. CHICAGONose tackle Eddie Goldman opted out of the season, damaging the inside defense. The Bears also had to cancel practice and close their facility for a day last month.WASHINGTONOnly one player, already on IR, has tested positive for COVID-19. The scheduling change this week from other disruptions saw Washington’s game at Pittsburgh shifted from Sunday to Monday.ATLANTALittle impact. The team canceled practice and held virtual meetings three times because of virus protocols. Atlanta won all three contests following its shutdowns.A handful of players spent time on the COVID-19 list, most notably first-round pick cornerback A.J. Terrell and DE Dante Fowler Jr. CAROLINASome half-dozen players have been on the COVID-19 list, notably CB Rasul Douglas for two games. The Panthers twice have been in intense protocol.NEW YORK JETSTop LB C. J. Mosley opted out. Only tight end Ross Travis, on the practice squad at the time, has been on the list during the regular season. They had four players on it during training camp, rookie CB Bryce Hall, now a starter, the only one still with the team.LOS ANGELES RAMSThe Rams erected a massive tent in the parking lot of their training complex to hold team meetings outdoors, taking advantage of Southern California’s mild weather to minimize exposure to recycled air and close quarters. Only one outbreak, with three practice squad players affected during the season.KANSAS CITYThe Chiefs have been remarkably clear of COVID-19 positives. They lost WR Mecole Hardman for a game in Week 10. LT Eric Fisher and RT Mitchell Schwartz tested positive along with backup OL Martinas Rankin, but Fisher was cleared to return and Schwartz already was out with a back injury. HOUSTONA handful of players have missed time because of the virus. The Texans played at Jacksonville without linebackers Whitney Mercilus, Jacob Martin and Dylan Cole after Martin tested positive. Martin also missed the next game, but Mercilus and Cole returned. Offensive tackle Max Scharping tested positive for the virus during the team’s bye week, forcing the closure of the facility, and he missed one game.SEATTLESeattle is the only NFL team with no confirmed COVID-19 cases among players. Coach Pete Carroll has regularly stressed the importance of following protocols.“We feel very fortunate that we are where we are, and we feel like we’re kind of anticipating what’s coming,” Carroll said. “So we’re in good shape right now and hopefully we just keep it going. This is a one day at a time deal. That’s all we got.” ___More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL Ap NflNfl MvpNew York JetsNfl TeamPublic HealthPreseason GamesFootball GamesCowboysTitansRavensSteelersNEW ENGLANDChiefsPatriotsGMMike VrabelLamar JacksonJohn HarbaughVance McdonaldStephon GilmoreEd DonatellJohn ElwayJoe EllisBrett RypienBlake BortlesJeff DriskelTrent BrownEmmanuel SandersTerron ArmsteadSean PaytonKendrick BourneBrandon AiyukTrent WilliamsArik ArmsteadSione TakitakiAndy JanovichClelin FerrellAl GoldenBob BicknellDenico AutryWhitney MercilusJacob MartinTommy SweeneyJaydon MickensMackensie AlexanderGerald AlexanderSteven JacksonMarion HobbyEddie GoldmanNick EasonShane LemieuxMark DuffnerWill HernandezWilliam GholstonPete CarrollMatthew StaffordKevin ZeitlerLarry FitzgeraldCam NewtonDrew LockMyles GarrettMecole HardmanRoss TravisGarrett GilbertGraham GanoMax ScharpingFrank ReichJamaal WilliamsTrae WaynesBen DinucciKolby SmithAndy DaltonMargus HuntDoug PedersonPhilip RiversBruce AriansAnthony LynnMartinas RankinDeforest BucknerJacoby BrissettAdam ThielenRyquell Armstead
