Jets running back Breece Hall is week to week with a quadriceps injury, 4 others also sitting out

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets running back Breece Hall didn't practice Wednesday and coach Aaron Glenn said he's considered “week to week” as he recovers from a quadriceps injury.

Hall, the Jets' leading rusher, is expected to miss the game Sunday at Chicago. He was hurt early in the fourth quarter of New York's 31-24 loss at Detroit last Sunday when down while being forced out of bounds after running for no gain.

In addition to Hall, left guard Dylan Parham (knee), wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger), tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) and linebacker Kiko Mauigoa (quadriceps) also didn't practice and will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis.

Hall, who was held to just 32 yards on 13 carries against the Lions, will be replaced by Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis in the Jets' backfield. Hall, signed to a three-year contract extension worth up to $45.75 million in May, had 102 yards and a touchdown in the season opener at Tennessee and ran for 29 yards against Green Bay in Week 2.

Allen has 61 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries this season while serving as Hall's primary backup. The third-year running back played in just four games last season after suffering a knee injury, but has shown he's now fully healthy.

Davis, also in his third season, missed a large part of training camp with a knee injury. He has no carries or catches this season while playing only on special teams during the first three games.

"He's going to get his shot," Glenn said. “I've always said with those three guys, man, listen, I'm good with any of them and they'll go out there and make plays for us."

Parham was hurt in the third quarter against Detroit during a sack of Geno Smith. He was replaced by Landon Meredith, who could do so again Sunday at Chicago.

Mitchell, Taylor and Mauigoa all missed the game last week with their injuries.

In positive injury news, Glenn said safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was expected to be limited at practice Wednesday and has a chance to play Sunday after injuring his groin early in the season opener.

Fitzpatrick, who had sat out practice since the injury, has been replaced the past two weeks by Andre Cisco.

Tight ends Kenyon Sadiq (back) and Jeremy Ruckert (knee) and edge rusher Kingsley Enagbare (knee) were also limited, but like Fitzpatrick, Glenn was optimistic about all of their chances of playing.

Running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu was a full participant after missing the first three games with a back injury.

With Parham out and the offensive line struggling, the Jets signed center Nick Dawkins — son of the late NBA star Darryl Dawkins — to the practice squad on Tuesday.

The younger Dawkins was signed by Baltimore in the spring as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State, where he was teammates for four seasons with current Jets left tackle Olu Fashanu. The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Dawkins was released by the Ravens as part of their final roster cuts in August.

Dawkins’ backboard-smashing father isn’t the only famous athlete in the family. Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins is a distant cousin and Karl-Anthony Towns of the defending NBA champion New York Knicks is his father’s godson.

He remembers being about 7 years old when his mother found a collection on YouTube of some of the NBA's top 10 plays — and his father was featured prominently.

“We’re just watching them and the last, like, three clips, I think No. 1 and No. 3 were him breaking the backboard,” Dawkins recalled with a big smile. “I was like, ‘Oh!’ And he was just so cool as a cucumber, man. He was like, ‘That’s what I do, yeah.’”

Nick Dawkins was only 13 when his father died of a heart attack on Aug. 27, 2015, at 58. Darryl Dawkins last played in the NBA with the Detroit Pistons during the 1988-89 season, but he continued his professional career into his early 40s with stints in Italy, the Harlem Globetrotters, the NBA G League and the USBL. He was coaching when his son was born in 2002, but family, friends and former teammates and opponents have shared plenty of tales over the years.

“I’m just jealous of them because a lot of these people got to see him on TV, see him in real life, in like real time, in present time, and I only got to hear stories,” said Nick Dawkins, now 24. “His personality was larger than life and a lot of times when people come and talk to me talk about something crazy he did or something, it was always in good nature, always to help people. I always appreciate it because I know him as my dad.”

Dawkins said he watched clips of his father's NBA days before every game he played at Penn State.

“I couldn’t really tell you why,” he said. “Maybe it’s a little bit of grief still. For some reason, it was just part of my routine and they got me ready to play."

And he knows his father would be proud of his journey.

“To have the opportunity to compete for a spot on the NFL team, I mean, I was on the couch a couple of days ago thinking about my mortality and my professional career and whatever that may be,” he said. “So my dad would say just have fun with it, show gratitude to everyone and remember how blessed you are.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Florida woman accused of driving across the country to fire a rifle at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s home, hitting a trailer the celebrity couple was inside and a nursery where their kids were, has been indicted by a grand jury on 14 felony counts including attempted murder.

The indictment against 36-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz of Orlando was unsealed Wednesday by a Los Angeles County judge.

Ortiz, appearing in court wearing yellow jail clothes, spoke only to her attorney, who entered a not guilty plea for her. The judge then ordered her held on $2.6 million bail.

The move came a day after another judge ruled that Ortiz is mentally competent to stand trial. The secret grand jury proceedings were held as Ortiz was undergoing months of psychiatric evaluation. The jurors returned their indictment June 18, but it was kept under wraps for three months until the judge ruled on her competency. Now, a case that appeared stalled — possibly permanently — is on a fast track to trial.

No one was injured in the March 8 shooting. Authorities allege Ortiz drove a Tesla up to the gates of the Beverly Hills-area property of the singing superstar and her rap star partner, A$AP Rocky, pointed an AR-15 style rifle out the window and fired at least 20 rounds toward the property and the neighboring house.

“This is a person who wanted to kill Rihanna,” Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott said outside court. “Everyone else was collateral damage.”

Bullets tore through the Airstream trailer, according to a police report. Shots also struck the wall of their home's nursery, where their three small children were with their nanny. Rihanna’s mother and several staffers also were in the home, and authorities say she also fired shots toward a neighbor's house.

Both Rihanna and her mother, Monica Fenty, testified to the grand jury, as did Hollywood agent Tracey Jacobs, the owner of the neighboring house who was home at the time and is listed among the victims in the indictment.

Their testimony remains under seal but will become public in about two weeks unless the defense seeks to keep them secret and the judge agrees.

Rihanna told investigators just after the shooting that she “suddenly heard approximately ten loud sounds like something banging on metal,” and pulled Rocky out of a bed and onto the ground. She said she opened curtains and saw bullet marks in the windshield right in front of where she had been standing.

Deputy Public Defender Derek Dillman, Ortiz's attorney, did not speak to reporters outside the courtroom, and a message seeking comment from the public defender's office on the indictment was not immediately answered. Other than her not guilty pleas, her lawyers have not publicly addressed the charges, saying only that they would work to defend her rights.

Investigators said that on the day of her arrest, Ortiz told them: “I wasn’t attempting murder.”

Ortiz was charged with very similar counts in March. The new indictment supersedes those charges. The secret grand jury proceedings allow prosecutors to skip California’s preliminary hearing process, where evidence must be presented publicly to see if a trial is merited.

The indictment also charges Ortiz with 10 counts of assault with an assault weapon — one for each of the people on the two properties — and three counts of shooting at an inhabited dwelling or camper. It names the couple's three children Rza, Riot and Rocki, all under age 5, as victims. The assault weapon counts carry a stiffer sentence than the original charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Ortiz was the registered owner of the rifle, which she obtained in Florida, authorities said.

She could get life in prison if convicted of all counts.

Reports have been sealed on the psychiatric evaluations that paused the case shortly after it began, and there was no public discussion of the details of her mental state.

Prosecutors have not said anything about a motive or cited any connection between Rihanna and Ortiz, a longtime licensed speech pathologist. But in videos posted on Facebook and YouTube in the months before the shooting, Ortiz made increasingly angry comments on Rihanna that sometimes took the form of threats, at one point calling her a “devil.”

A nine-time Grammy Award winner, Rihanna has had 14 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including “We Found Love,” “Work,” “Umbrella” and “Disturbia.”
