SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was taken on a cart to the locker room with a foot injury in the first quarter and will not return to the game.
Garoppolo got up slowly after being sacked by Jerome Baker and Jaelan Phillips on third down on San Francisco's first drive against Miami on Sunday.
He went into the injury tent before being taken by cart to the locker room. The Niners ruled him out for at least the rest of the game.
Rookie Brock Purdy came into the game to replace Garoppolo to start the second drive. Purdy has thrown just nine passes this season in mop-up duty of a blowout loss to Kansas City in Week 7.
Garoppolo resumed his starting role for San Francisco in Week 2 this season after Trey Lance went down with a season-ending ankle injury.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Biden administration supports zero-COVID protesters in China
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that the Biden administration supports the zero-COVID protesters in China, explaining that he will address the topic when he visits the country early next year.

"Of course, we do," Blinken told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" when asked about the U.S. support for the protesters demonstrating against the Chinese government's stringent COVID-19 restrictions. "We support the right for people everywhere, whether it's in China, whether it's Iran, whether it's any place else, to protest peacefully, to make known their views, to vent their frustrations."
Blinken said he would bring up the protests with Chinese officials in person next month.
"We will say what we always say and what President (Joe) Biden has said to (Chinese leader) Xi Jinping, which is that human rights and basic civil liberties go to the heart of who we are as Americans. And no American government, no American president is going to be silent on that," Blinken said.
Blinken also said the U.S. would take the same approach when the rights of protesters are repressed anywhere else: "We speak out against it, we stand up against it, and we take action against it."
Demonstrations have rocked Iran for several months, sparking a deadly clampdown from authorities. The nationwide uprising was first ignited by the death of Mahsa (also known as Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in mid-September after being detained by the country's morality police. Since then, protesters across Iran have coalesced around a range of grievances with the Iranian government.
Yet while Blinken pointed to U.S. sanctions on those responsible for the crackdown on protesters in Iran, he did not mention any cost that has been imposed on China for its crackdown on protests.
Blinken said that "fundamentally" the protests in China and Iran were not about the U.S.
"This is about people in both countries trying to express their views, trying to have their aspirations met, and the response that the governments are taking to that," he said.

Tampa police chief on leave after golf cart traffic stop
The police chief of Tampa has been placed on leave after a video emerged of her flashing her badge from the passenger seat of a golf cart to get out of a traffic ticket.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor placed Chief Mary O'Connor on administrative leave Friday pending an investigation of the Nov. 12 traffic stop in Oldsmar, a city northwest of Tampa.
The body camera video, posted online by the Tampa Police Department, shows O'Connor's husband driving the cart and the chief in the passenger seat when a Pinellas County sheriff's deputy pulls them over for not having a tag.
"Is your camera on?" O'Connor said. "I'm the police chief in Tampa."
"I'm hoping that you'll just let us go tonight," she says, showing the deputy her badge.
The deputy let them leave without a ticket, saying "it's nice meeting you."
In a statement, O'Connor said it was "poor judgment" for them to have taken the cart out on public roads without a tag. She said it was the first time they had driven it outside of a golf cart-friendly community where they own property.
"As someone who has dealt with, taken ownership of and grown from my past mistakes, I know that no one is above the law, including me," she said.
The mayor said an internal review is underway. Assistant Chief Lee Bercaw will serve as acting chief.
"We hold everyone accountable, no matter their position and this behavior was unacceptable," Castor said. "Chief O'Connor will go through the due process and face appropriate discipline."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jurors in the capital murder trial of a former U.S. Border Patrol agent have heard a taped interview in which he confesses to the 2018 killings of four sex workers in South Texas.
If convicted of capital murder, Juan David Ortiz, 39, faces life in prison without parole because prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. The trial started on Nov. 28 and is set to continue on Monday.
Ortiz, a Navy veteran, was a Border Patrol intelligence supervisor at the time of his arrest in September 2018. Ortiz, who officials have said wasn't on duty during the killings and wore civilian clothes, is accused of killing Melissa Ramirez, 29; Claudine Anne Luera, 42; Guiselda Alicia Cantu, 35; and Janelle Ortiz, 28.
Each woman was shot in the head and left along roads on the outskirts of Laredo in September. One died of blunt force trauma after being shot.
Juan David Ortiz told detectives in the video played in court last week that as he drove along a stretch of road that the women frequented, "the monster would come out," the San Antonio Express-News reported. He told investigators he wanted to "clean up the streets," and referred to the women as "trash" and "so dirty."
Ortiz’s attorney, Joel Perez, argued in opening statements that investigators had jumped to conclusions, and that his client’s confession was “coerced.” He said his client was “broken” and “suicidal” when he made the confession and told investigators he'd had blackouts. Perez said that Ortiz told the investigators that he was a war veteran who'd been experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and was unable to sleep and was having nightmares. Perez said Ortiz had been put on “a bunch of psychotic pills."
The ex-agent's arrest was set in motion when a woman, Erika Pena, escaped from him when he pointed a gun at her while they were in his truck at a gas station on Sept. 14, 2018. Pena, now 31, testified that Ortiz would give her money for drugs, drive her to buy them and then they would have sex.
Normally, she said, he was “nice, smart, funny, a normal guy,” but on Sept. 14, 2018, she got a bad feeling after he told her he was the “next to last person” to have sex with Ramirez, who was found slain the week earlier. She testified that he was worried investigators would find his DNA.
“It made me think that he was the one who might have been murdering,” Pena told the jury.
Luera had been fatally shot on Sept. 13, 2018.
After Pena escaped, Ortiz fled from the gas station but was later arrested when authorities tracked him to a hotel parking garage.
In the interview with investigators, Ortiz said that after Ramirez had injected the drugs he's bought for her, she'd passed out and that “angered” him. He said that when she regained consciousness, she became belligerent. Ortiz said that when he stopped so that she could use the restroom, he shot her in the back of the head.
Ortiz told investigators that after picking up Luera and taking her to get “a fix," he told her they should check out where Ramirez's body was found. He said she “started freaking out.” She died at a hospital after being shot in the head.
Capt. Federico Calderon of the Webb County Sheriff’s Department testified that officers who arrested Ortiz knew about the slayings of Ramirez and Luera, and while chasing him after Pena's escape learned that a third body — later identified as that of Cantu — had been found.
Calderon said it wasn't until Ortiz's confession that they learned about a fourth slain woman — later identified as Janelle Ortiz.
Calderon told jurors that the information about a fourth victim was “volunteered” by Ortiz and “surprised us completely.”
Both Janelle Ortiz and Cantu were killed in the hours before Juan David Ortiz's arrest.
Ortiz said on the tape that he’d planned to kill himself that night and that Cantu told him: "Don’t do it. God loves you.” Then, he said, he shot her in the neck.
The trial is being held in San Antonio, in Bexar County, following a defense request to move the trial from Webb County due to extensive media coverage.
The Border Patrol placed Ortiz on indefinite, unpaid suspension after his arrest. When asked last week for an update on his current employment status, a Border Patrol official said the agency doesn’t comment on “pending litigation.”

CARTHAGE, N.C. (AP) — Two power substations in a North Carolina county were damaged by gunfire in what is being investigated as a criminal act, causing damage that could take days to repair and leaving tens of thousands of people without electricity, authorities said Sunday.
In response to ongoing outages, which began just after 7 p.m. Saturday across Moore County, officials announced a state of emergency that included a curfew from 9 p.m. Sunday to 5 a.m. Monday. Also, county schools will be closed Monday.
“An attack like this on critical infrastructure is a serious, intentional crime and I expect state and federal authorities to thoroughly investigate and bring those responsible to justice,” Gov. Roy Cooper wrote on Twitter.
Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said at a Sunday news conference that authorities have not determined a motivation. He said someone pulled up and “opened fire on the substation, the same thing with the other one.”
“No group has stepped up to acknowledge or accept that they're the ones that done it,” Fields said, adding “we're looking at all avenues.”
The sheriff noted that the FBI was working with state investigators to determine who was responsible. He also said “it was targeted.”
“It wasn't random,” Fields said.
Fields said law enforcement is providing security at the substations and for businesses overnight.
“We will have folks out there tonight around the clock,” Fields said.
Roughly 37,000 electric customers in the county were without power on Sunday evening, according to poweroutage.us.
With cold temperatures forecast for Sunday night, the county also opened a shelter at a sports complex in Carthage.
Duke Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks said multiple pieces of equipment were damaged and will have to be replaced. He said while the company is trying to restore power as quickly as possible, he braced customers for the potential of outages lasting days.
“We are looking at a pretty sophisticated repair with some fairly large equipment and so we do want citizens of the town to be prepared that this will be a multiday restoration for most customers, extending potentially as long as Thursday," Brooks said at the news conference.
Dr. Tim Locklear, the county's school superintendent, announced classes will be canceled Monday.
“As we move forward, we'll be taking it day by day in making those decisions,” Locklear said.
The Pilot newspaper in Southern Pines reported that one of its journalists saw a gate to one of the substations had been damaged and was lying in an access road.
“A pole holding up the gate had clearly been snapped off where it meets the ground. The substation’s infrastructure was heavily damaged,” the newspaper reported.
The county of approximately 100,000 people lies about an hour's drive southwest of Raleigh and is known for golf resorts in Pinehurst and other communities.

HOUSTON (AP) — Deshaun Watson didn't play well Sunday in his return after sitting out almost two years.
Cleveland’s defense and special teams ensured the Browns got the win despite his struggles.
Watson turned in a sloppy performance in his first game in 700 days, but a punt return for a touchdown by Donovan Peoples-Jones and two defensive TDs were plenty enough to give the Browns a 27-14 victory over the lowly Houston Texans.
In the same stadium where he played his previous game, a rusty Watson threw for 131 yards with an interception in his debut for the Browns (5-7) against his former team in his return after serving an 11-game NFL suspension for sexual misconduct allegations.
“It’s not going to be perfect, especially playing December football and it’s Week 1 for me,” Watson said. "It was fun, though. It was awesome to be out there with my teammates. The defense played a heck of a game. Special teams return was big for us. That’s what we needed at the time. It’s a team sport.”
Plenty of fans attended the game wearing Watson’s No. 4 jersey from both the Texans (1-10-1) and the Browns, but there were also detractors with loud boos raining down on him every time he touched the ball.
The Browns trailed 5-0 early, but a 76-yard punt return by Peoples-Jones put them on top in the second quarter and Denzel Ward's 4-yard fumble return for a score pushed the lead to 14-5 early in the third quarter.
“He’s human," Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said of Watson. "Coming back here, first game in a while, his teammates had his back.”
Cleveland didn’t score on offense until a 43-yard field goal made it 17-8 with about 10 minutes remaining. The Browns added a second defensive score when Tony Fields intercepted Kyle Allen and returned it 16 yards on the next play. It’s the first time in franchise history that the Browns had three non-offensive touchdowns in a game.
“I think our defense played well throughout (but) their defense outplayed our defense today," Houston coach Lovie Smith said.
Allen had a terrible day in his second start since Davis Mills was benched. He threw for 201 yards with a fumble that was returned for a touchdown and two interceptions, the second of which was returned for a score, as Houston’s skid stretched seven games.
“Offensively you can't win many games playing like that,” Smith said. “I'm just disappointed in how we played offensively.”
It was Watson’s first start since Jan. 3, 2021, when he threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns for Houston in a 41-38 loss to Tennessee.
Soon after that, he became unhappy with the direction of the team and requested a trade. Then, two dozen women accused him of sexual harassment or assault during massage therapy sessions.
He remained on Houston’s roster last year, but sat out all season before being traded to the Browns in March.
Watson agreed to the lengthy suspension, a $5 million fine and had to undergo professional counseling and therapy after an independent arbitrator ruled that he violated the league’s personal conduct policy.
Watson was 12 of 22 and finished with a 53.4 QB rating, which was the lowest of a career where he took the Texans to the playoffs in two of the four seasons he played for them.
His first completion was on his third throw on a short pass to Anthony Schwartz. But Tavierre Thomas stripped the ball and Desmond King recovered it to give Houston the ball on the Cleveland 38.
The Texans had a first down at the 16, but a face mask penalty followed by a false start pushed them back 20 yards and they settled for a 44-yard field goal four plays later to make it 3-0.
Nick Chubb had 80 yards rushing for the Browns and Kareem Hunt added 56 yards.
Watson was hit as he threw and was picked off in the end zone by rookie Jalen Pitre with about 3½ minutes left in the first quarter. Pitre returned it 29 yards.
“There’s some good things that we can build on, but overall, we just got to make more plays,” Pitre said.
The Texans got down to the 1, but Allen threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-1 to give the Browns the ball back. Three plays later Roy Lopez tackled Chubb in the end zone to make it 5-0.
Peoples-Jones put the Browns on top when he returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown to make it 7-5 with about four minutes left in the second.
He evaded four tackles at the start of the return and then simply outran everyone the rest of the way for Cleveland’s first punt return for a score since Travis Benjamin had a 78-yard return on Sept 20, 2015.
The Texans looked to have returned a fumble by Watson for a touchdown with less than a minute left in the first half. But officials ruled that it was an incomplete pass.
The Browns extended the lead to 14-5 when Ward scooped up a fumble by Allen and returned it 4 yards for a touchdown with about 10 minutes left in the third quarter.
Cleveland became the 11th team since the merger to have three or more touchdowns combined on defense and special teams without a TD on offense and the first since the Eagles did it in a 26-21 loss to San Francisco on Sept. 28, 2014.
Allen was intercepted on the first play of the game when John Johnson grabbed a pass that was deflected by Teagan Quitoriano. The play was first ruled an incomplete pass, but the Browns challenged it, and it was reversed.
INJURIES
Browns rookie WR David Bell injured his hand in the first quarter. ... Schwartz left in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury. ... MLB Sione Takitaki injured his leg in the fourth quarter. ... TE David Njoku missed his third game in five weeks with a knee injury. ... Texans RB Troy Hairston injured his ribs in the second quarter. ... RB Rex Burkhead missed the game with a concussion. ... WR Brandin Cooks sat out with a calf injury.
FIRST TIMER
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña, the World Series MVP, attended Sunday’s game and was on the sideline to hype up fans before kickoff. He said it was a new experience for him.
“It’s special,” he said. “This is my first football game ever, so I’m excited for that.”
UP NEXT
Browns: Visit the Bengals next Sunday.
Texans: Visit Dallas next Sunday.

Father chases off coyote attempting to drag 2-year-old daughter away
LOS ANGELES (CNN) – A ring security camera captured the moment a coyote ran up to a 2-year-old girl and tried to drag her away in Los Angeles on Friday.
Ariel Eliyahuo reacted quickly to the screams of his daughter Ariya as he was getting out of his vehicle.
He can be seen quickly running to the other side of the car to snatch his daughter back from the coyote, who is seen dragging the girl away by her leg.
Eliyahuo screams and shoos the animal away, going so far as to throw a water bottle at it.
Ariya’s mother later noticed blood on her daughter’s pants, so the family rushed the girl to the hospital for rabies shots.
The attack took place in Woodland Hills, a heavily developed neighborhood in Los Angeles where wildlife is unexpected.
So far, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been unable to catch the coyote and euthanize it.
The family said Ariya is doing better after the attack, but that both of their children were traumatized by the experience.

Sunday Evening Weather At Your Fingertips
East Texas (KLTV/KTRE) - Good evening, East Texas! A few spotty showers will be possible on Monday thanks to the return of breezy, warm southerly winds and the moisture they’ll pull in from the Gulf of Mexico. Expect another big jump in temperatures for the first half of next week with most in the 70s. Widespread showers return to East Texas later in the day Tuesday, when a cold front pushes south through Oklahoma and stalls along the Red River. This surface front will act as a firing line for scattered showers on and off throughout the PM hours of Tuesday and throughout the day on Wednesday into Thursday morning. More showers and potentially an isolated thunderstorm will be possible Thursday as a second cold front approaches and eventually pushes through East Texas. This second front will also eventually stall, albeit this time to our south, before lifting back north as a warm front next Saturday, potentially feeding better rain chances back into East Texas for the next weekend. Friends, keep the umbrella handy this next week. Not every day will be a washout, but portions of East Texas will see rain each and everyday Tuesday - Saturday.

It's press-shy Lachlan Murdoch's turn in the spotlight.
On Monday, at the offices of a powerhouse Los Angeles law firm, the head of Fox News' parent company — and son of its founder — is scheduled to be deposed under oath. He will face questions about his knowledge of the wild and false allegations the network presented about a voting tech company's role in then President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 elections.
The deposition represents the apex — to date — of the witnesses assembled by Dominion Voting System's legal team as part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court. Despite supporting Trump throughout his presidency, Lachlan and his father Rupert Murdoch refused to force Fox News to retract its projection that Joe Biden would win the key state of Arizona on Election Night 2020 in the face of intense pressure from the Trump camp.
A slew of Fox News guests and hosts - among them Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, and Maria Bartiromo - slammed Dominion Voting Systems for weeks afterward, breathlessly suggesting and even baselessly asserting it committed election fraud. Dominion says Fox was trying to win back the Trump loyalists who abandoned Fox after the election. And the voting tech's attorneys have worked its way up the ranks, deposing Fox News staffers from junior producers to those star hosts to network executives.
"It's an orchestrated effort," Dominion attorney Justin Nelson argued at a court hearing back in October. "It's not just on the part of each host individually, but it's across Fox News as a company." And, he said, that applied to Fox Corporation as well. Dominion's suit notes that countless local, state and federal officials and dozens of court rulings have validated the election as clean and fair.
Now attention swings upward to Lachlan Murdoch, Fox Corp's executive chairman. Such legal proceedings can prove fraught, legal authorities say.
"Reputations can be made and broken in moments like this," says Charles Elson, an attorney who is the founding director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. "If you prove not to be credible, that's a problem. If you prove to have acted in a sloppy manner, that's an issue too."
An unwelcome challenge to Lachlan Murdoch at a charged moment
The lawsuit represents an unexpected and unwelcome challenge to Murdoch - legally, potentially financially, and, as Elson suggests, professionally.
He and Rupert, the 91-year-old patriarch of the family's media empire, are intent on reuniting their broadcast and print empires despite some signs of mounting shareholder opposition. And Lachlan's three eldest siblings — Prudence, Elizabeth and James — are said by associates to be skeptical of Lachlan as the appropriate heir to lead their family's holdings after their father's death.
The move to once more combine the print and television holdings — News Corp and Fox Corp — are in large part a means for Lachlan to consolidate power before his father is no longer on the scene. The four older Murdoch children will then together control the family trust, which holds about 40 percent of voting stock. James, who left his position on the board of News Corp in July 2020 over the editorial direction of the Murdoch empire, was deposed in October.
Rupert Murdoch led Fox News for nearly two years after the Murdochs ousted then-Fox News chairman Roger Ailes over a sexual harassment scandal.
The elder Murdoch also struck a political alliance with Trump, though he has cooled on the former president, signaling in private and through his media outlets that he wants to see another generation of Republicans to rise.
Meanwhile, Lachlan Murdoch's free speech credentials have been somewhat muddied in his father's native country of Australia, where Lachlan moved his family during the pandemic; he is suing the political news site Crikey there for an opinion column calling the Murdochs "unindicted co-conspirators" in the January 6, 2021, siege of the U.S. Capitol for the vitriolic rhetoric of many of Fox's stars and guests.
According to court filings, the Dominion attorneys' deposition of Lachlan Murdoch "will continue from day to day (Sundays and holidays excluded) until complete, unless otherwise agreed."
Fox News's defense embraces the mantle of freedom of the press
The only major figure Dominion has not yet questioned is Rupert Murdoch. That is expected to happen before the end of the year.
Fox News has embraced the mantle of freedom of the press, calling this a nuisance suit and saying it expects to prevail. "There is nothing more newsworthy than covering the President of the United States and his lawyers making allegations of voter fraud," Fox News Media said in a statement for this story.
And it has invoked the journalistic standing of Hannity, in seeking to shield him from another round of questioning under oath. Under prior federal and Delaware court rulings, journalists have some protections against revealing sources and information in court. Hannity was one of Trump's most prominent champions on the air and one of the former president's closest advisers off the air.
During his Aug. 31st deposition, which lasted more than seven hours, Hannity was grilled about the episode of his program that ran on November 30, 2020. It featured Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell, who was condemned, among others, by a federal judge in Michigan for abusing the court system in her challenges to the 2020 election results. Dominion is also seeking the court to force Powell — in a separate case in Washington, D.C. — to produce documents involving her communications with Fox News.
Attorneys for Fox assert that an absolute journalistic privilege protects Hannity's conversations and communications with confidential sources as Dominion tries to force additional testimony from Hannity. Hannity is not himself a defendant in the case. Fox's legal filings note he has not waived his own claims of journalistic privilege.
Hannity has declared "I'm not a journalist"
Over the years, Hannity has publicly characterized himself in a series of contradictory ways. He has not only a strong conservative point of view but also a partisan bent; he has been chided several times by the network for campaigning on behalf of Republican candidates and conservative causes. "I'm not a journalist," Hannity said in fall 2016, in defending himself for giving Trump gentle treatment in the dozens interviews he conducted that election season. "I'm a talk show host."
Similarly, earlier this year, Hannity sought to knock down criticism of his repeated private exchanges with top Trump White House aides, including Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, after they surfaced in the House Select Committee's investigations into the January 6 siege of Congress.
"Yes, I'm a member of the press," Hannity told viewers of his program in April, "I'm on the Fox News Channel, which is a news channel, but I don't claim to be a journalist. I claim to be a talk show host."
He said he is capable of doing investigative reports and continued, "I am a registered conservative. Yes, I voted for Donald Trump. I make no apologies, I give my opinions straight-forward. We even do culture, we do sports – I'm like the whole newspaper."
Lachlan Murdoch typically characterizes Fox News as a "center-right" news organization. Fox draws a sharp distinction between its reporting and news shows with its point-of-view programming. Yet in recent years the network has jettisoned hours of news shows or relegated them to less-prominent time slots. And many outside observers — including former Fox News journalists — argue argue that Fox's hard-right tilt greatly influences its news shows as well.
Of late, Fox News and Dominion have sparred over whether Fox host Jeanine Pirro should have to give testimony anew after Dominion objected to her refusal to answer some questions about her texts. Dominion won the right for its lawyers to question her under oath further on Nov. 23rd. As NPR first disclosed, Dominion, in the discovery process for its lawsuit, acquired an email from a producer begging colleagues not to allow Pirro on the air after the 2020 election, saying she was spreading unfounded conspiracy theories plucked from unreliable websites. Pirro has recently been promoted to become a co-host of the popular weekday show, The Five.
Arguments over allegations that evidence was destroyed
Fox and Dominion are wrangling over other grounds as well. Fox News is arguing for sanctions against Dominion, alleging the company destroyed evidence: electronic messages of CEO John Poulos and senior executives Waldeep Singh and Kay Stinson. Such destruction is called "spoliation." Fox is asking for dismissal of the case, monetary punishments and other legal measures.
In a statement for this story, Fox News wrote: "Dominion's potential spoliation is not central to Fox's ability to make our case, but it should be noted that courts have found that intentional, bad-faith spoliation of evidence is an abuse of the judicial process and warrants a sanction. It is our intention to provide all relevant and material evidence in this matter."
A spokeswoman for Dominion replied, "This meritless claim is a distraction and will not impede Dominion from moving the case forward based on its merits. We intend to hold Fox accountable for its reckless disregard for the truth and are confident the truth will ultimately prevail."

Father chases off coyote attempting to drag 2-year-old daughter away
LOS ANGELES (CNN) – A ring security camera captured the moment a coyote ran up to a 2-year-old girl and tried to drag her away in Los Angeles on Friday.
Ariel Eliyahuo reacted quickly to the screams of his daughter Ariya as he was getting out of his vehicle.
He can be seen quickly running to the other side of the car to snatch his daughter back from the coyote, who is seen dragging the girl away by her leg.
Eliyahuo screams and shoos the animal away, going so far as to throw a water bottle at it.
Ariya’s mother later noticed blood on her daughter’s pants, so the family rushed the girl to the hospital for rabies shots.
The attack took place in Woodland Hills, a heavily developed neighborhood in Los Angeles where wildlife is unexpected.
So far, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been unable to catch the coyote and euthanize it.
The family said Ariya is doing better after the attack, but that both of their children were traumatized by the experience.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Performers such as Gladys Knight or the Irish band U2 usually would be headlining a concert for thousands but at Sunday's Kennedy Center Honors the tables will be turned as they and other artists will be the ones feted for their lifetime of artistic contributions.
Actor, director, producer and human rights activist George Clooney, groundbreaking composer and conductor Tania León, and contemporary Christian singer Amy Grant will join Knight and the entire crew of U2 in being honored by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The organization honors a select group of people every year for their artistic influences on American culture. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and their respective spouses are slated to attend.
Biden paid tribute to the honorees before the ceremony at the White House Sunday afternoon, praising them before a star-studded East Room crowd as an “exceptional group of artists.”
“Thank you for showing us the power of the arts and ‘We the People,’” Biden said.
He highlighted Clooney’s on-camera work and off-screen charity endeavors, from helping 9/11 victims’ families to supporting a gun control campaign led by the survivors of the Parkland school shooting.
“He is unrelenting and undaunted,” Biden said. “That is character in real life. And that is George Clooney.”
Biden hailed Grant’s voice as “a true gift from God that she shares with everyone,” thanked León for ’breathing new sounds into the soul of the nation,” and said he has all of Knight’s songs on his iPhone.
“We’re going to get on that midnight train,” Biden said of Knight. “Because I speak for all Americans when I say we we’d rather live in your world than be without you in ours.”
Biden, noting his love of Irish poets, called U2 “four sons of Ireland, poets in their own right” whose music “has changed the world.”
“We would do well to remember today at a moment when there’s too much hate, too much anger, too much division here in America, and quite frankly, around the world,” Biden said. “We have to remember today, as their song goes: ‘We are one but we’re not the same. We get to carry each other.’”
The 61-year-old Clooney has television credits going back into the late 1970s but became a household name with the role of Doug Ross on the television show “ER.”
From there he starred in movies such as “Three Kings," “Ocean's Eleven" (and “Twelve” and “Thirteen”), “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and his most recent film, “Ticket to Paradise." He also has extensive directing and producing credits including “Good Night, and Good Luck." He and his wife, humanitarian rights lawyer Amal Clooney, created the Clooney Foundation for Justice, and he's produced telethons to raise money for various causes.
Knight, 78, said in a statement that she was “humbled beyond words” at receiving the Kennedy honor. The Georgia-born Knight began singing gospel music at the age of 4 and went on to a career that has spanned decades.
Knight and family members started a band that would later be known as Gladys Knight & The Pips and produced their first album in 1960 when Knight was just 16. Since then she's recorded dozens of albums with such classic hits as “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” and “Midnight Train to Georgia.” Along the way she's acted in television shows and movies. When Knight and the band were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Mariah Carey described Knight as "a textbook you learn from.”
U2's strong connection to America goes back decades. They performed in Washington during their first trip to America in 1980. In a statement the band — made up of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. — said they originally came to America with big dreams “fueled in part by the commonly held belief at home that America smiles on Ireland.”
“And it turned out to be true, yet again,” read the statement. “It has been a four-decade love affair with the country and its people, its artists, and culture.”
U2 has sold 170 million albums and been honored with 22 Grammys. The band’s epic singles include “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “Pride (In the Name of Love)” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” Lead singer Bono has also become known for his philanthropic work to eradicate poverty and to raise awareness about AIDS.
Grant is well known for crossover pop hits like “Baby, Baby,” “Every Heartbeat” and “That’s What Love is For.” She’s sold more than 30 million albums, including her 1991 record “Heart in Motion,” which introduced her to a larger pop audience.
León said during an interview when the honorees were announced that she wasn't expecting “anything spectacular” when the Kennedy Center initially reached out to her. After all, she's worked with the Kennedy Center numerous times over the years going back to 1980, when she was commissioned to compose music for a play.
But the 79-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner said she was stunned to learn that this time the ceremony was going to be for her.
León left Cuba as a refugee in 1967 and eventually settled in New York City. She's a founding member of the Dance Theatre of Harlem and instituted the Brooklyn Philharmonic Community Concert Series.

San Antonio native Janessa Dunn had finished second before.
Three times actually.
Still, she decided to wait out both her competitors and the weather on a cold and wet Sunday morning.
The tactic worked. Dunn crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 56 minutes and 8 seconds to win the women’s Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio marathon.
“I did the Athens marathon a couple weeks ago, so I didn’t really have any high expectations,” the 30-year-old clinical care nurse said. “I had gotten second three times in this race, so I think the best preparation for trying to win a race is to get second multiple times.
“It went really well, the big key for today was to be patient, so I just had to maintain a slower pace than what I wanted to go.”
Dunn, who was the 2010 Express-News runner of the year when she ran for San Antonio FEAST, was not the only runner to sit back and let the race come to them Sunday.
Dominik Korir, 29, of Kenya, followed the advice of his coaches to sit back and pass the pack late in the race.
“Sometime we have to follow instruction... yesterday they told me ‘Don't push it. You need to stay in second [place] or the pack so you can feel the pace,’” said Korir, who has also spent time in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Korir crossed the finish line in 1 hour, 4 minutes and 34 seconds to win the half marathon. The male runner up, Reid Buchanan, led the race until Korir took over at the eighth mile. Buchanan traveled from San Diego, Calif., with his wife Sarah Pagano, who won the women’s half-marathon title.
“My husband was doing this race and so I decided kind of last minute to come and do it,” Pagano said. We decided to come since I have never been to San Antonio before and I figured why not come check it out and run this race.”
Pagano, 31, won the race with a time of 1 hour, 14 minutes and 48 seconds. Like Korir in the men’s race, Pagano sat behind the pack leaders and took over with three miles to go.
“I just kind of ran, like, very even splits and I was able to catch the woman that was ahead of me around mile nine, but then I stayed steady and I knew that if I did that, I would be able to come away with the win, so I was happy with that,” Pagano said.
Buchanan and his wife Pagano both compete professionally and are coming off big races. Pagano finished a marathon a month ago and decided after her brief time off, taking a first-time visit to San Antonio would be a great place to get in a rust-buster.
“I did the near city marathon about a month ago and I took a week and a half off of training and I'm just getting back into it,” Pagano said. I'm in the beginning stages of my longer-term training.”
At mile 10, there was a turn which directed the full-marathon competitors to do an extra loop. Another Kenyan native, Lemech Mokono, won the male marathon division with a time of 2 hours, 26 minutes and 38 seconds.
“Today was my long run,” Mokono said. “I went fast, I went out with the half-marathon runners, and like at the halfway [point] I was running by myself and I said ‘This is my long run, I am by myself,’ and then at miles 7 and 8 when we entered the military base it was great.”
Mokono, 41, came off a poor race at the Philadelphia marathon where the weather conditions heavily affected his race. Monoko said he had been an admirer of San Antonio, and with his manager living in Grand Prairie, he decided to make the trip to Texas.
Mokono trains in New Mexico where he also trains younger athletes to become better runners.
“I like coming here. I’ve always liked the military base and San Antonio,” Mokono said. “It’s a good city, it’s good people here, I have always wanted to come and run here before I retire.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Performers such as Gladys Knight or the Irish band U2 usually would be headlining a concert for thousands but at Sunday's Kennedy Center Honors the tables will be turned as they and other artists will be the ones feted for their lifetime of artistic contributions.
Actor, director, producer and human rights activist George Clooney, groundbreaking composer and conductor Tania León, and contemporary Christian singer Amy Grant will join Knight and the entire crew of U2 in being honored by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The organization honors a select group of people every year for their artistic influences on American culture. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and their respective spouses are slated to attend.
Biden paid tribute to the honorees before the ceremony at the White House Sunday afternoon, praising them before a star-studded East Room crowd as an “exceptional group of artists.”
“Thank you for showing us the power of the arts and ‘We the People,’” Biden said.
He highlighted Clooney’s on-camera work and off-screen charity endeavors, from helping 9/11 victims’ families to supporting a gun control campaign led by the survivors of the Parkland school shooting.
“He is unrelenting and undaunted,” Biden said. “That is character in real life. And that is George Clooney.”
Biden hailed Grant’s voice as “a true gift from God that she shares with everyone,” thanked León for ’breathing new sounds into the soul of the nation,” and said he has all of Knight’s songs on his iPhone.
“We’re going to get on that midnight train,” Biden said of Knight. “Because I speak for all Americans when I say we we’d rather live in your world than be without you in ours.”
Biden, noting his love of Irish poets, called U2 “four sons of Ireland, poets in their own right” whose music “has changed the world.”
“We would do well to remember today at a moment when there’s too much hate, too much anger, too much division here in America, and quite frankly, around the world,” Biden said. “We have to remember today, as their song goes: ‘We are one but we’re not the same. We get to carry each other.’”
The 61-year-old Clooney has television credits going back into the late 1970s but became a household name with the role of Doug Ross on the television show “ER.”
From there he starred in movies such as “Three Kings," “Ocean's Eleven" (and “Twelve” and “Thirteen”), “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and his most recent film, “Ticket to Paradise." He also has extensive directing and producing credits including “Good Night, and Good Luck." He and his wife, humanitarian rights lawyer Amal Clooney, created the Clooney Foundation for Justice, and he's produced telethons to raise money for various causes.
Knight, 78, said in a statement that she was “humbled beyond words” at receiving the Kennedy honor. The Georgia-born Knight began singing gospel music at the age of 4 and went on to a career that has spanned decades.
Knight and family members started a band that would later be known as Gladys Knight & The Pips and produced their first album in 1960 when Knight was just 16. Since then she's recorded dozens of albums with such classic hits as “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” and “Midnight Train to Georgia.” Along the way she's acted in television shows and movies. When Knight and the band were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Mariah Carey described Knight as "a textbook you learn from.”
U2's strong connection to America goes back decades. They performed in Washington during their first trip to America in 1980. In a statement the band — made up of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. — said they originally came to America with big dreams “fueled in part by the commonly held belief at home that America smiles on Ireland.”
“And it turned out to be true, yet again,” read the statement. “It has been a four-decade love affair with the country and its people, its artists, and culture.”
U2 has sold 170 million albums and been honored with 22 Grammys. The band’s epic singles include “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “Pride (In the Name of Love)” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” Lead singer Bono has also become known for his philanthropic work to eradicate poverty and to raise awareness about AIDS.
Grant is well known for crossover pop hits like “Baby, Baby,” “Every Heartbeat” and “That’s What Love is For.” She’s sold more than 30 million albums, including her 1991 record “Heart in Motion,” which introduced her to a larger pop audience.
León said during an interview when the honorees were announced that she wasn't expecting “anything spectacular” when the Kennedy Center initially reached out to her. After all, she's worked with the Kennedy Center numerous times over the years going back to 1980, when she was commissioned to compose music for a play.
But the 79-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner said she was stunned to learn that this time the ceremony was going to be for her.
León left Cuba as a refugee in 1967 and eventually settled in New York City. She's a founding member of the Dance Theatre of Harlem and instituted the Brooklyn Philharmonic Community Concert Series.

AUSTIN — The 30th edition of the Valero Alamo Bowl will pit No. 12 Washington against No. 20 Texas.
For the Longhorns (8-4), it’ll be a familiar trip. This will mark the third time in four years they’ve ended their season in the Alamodome. Overall, Texas is 4-1 in San Antonio’s long-running bowl game.
This will be Washington’s (10-2) second appearance. And if this game goes anything like its first, the Alamo Bowl’s 30th anniversary should be a doozy.
On Dec. 29, 2011, Baylor and Washington combined for 123 points, 1,397 yards of offense and 17 touchdowns inside the Alamodome, all bowl game regulation records. Star quarterback and 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III led the Bears to a 67-56 win over the Huskies in his final college game.
Washington’s coach in that game? Steve Sarkisian, now in his second season at Texas.
Sarkisian took his first head coaching job at Washington in 2009. The Huskies went 34-29 overall and 1-2 in bowl games during his five-year tenure. In December 2013, Sarkisian accepted an offer to become USC’s head coach following the mid-season firing of Lane Kiffin.
Texas lurched to a 5-7 record in Sarkisian’s first season. That campaign, which included a six-game losing streak, kept the Longhorns from qualifying for a bowl for the third time since 2015.
Texas suffered a few missteps under Sarkisian in Year 2, but the program took some positive steps forward to finish third in the Big 12 standings.
Notably, the Longhorns downed Big 12 champion Kansas State on the road and routed Oklahoma 49-0 in the Red River Showdown. All four of Texas’ loses — to then-No. 1 Alabama, Texas Tech, No. 11 Oklahoma State and No. 4 TCU — came by one score. And with No. 3 TCU in the College Football Playoff semifinals and No. 9 Kansas State earning a trip to the Sugar Bowl, the Longhorns remained as the top Big 12 option for this year’s Alamo Bowl despite a string of recent appearances.
“We didn’t get to go to a bowl game last year, we didn’t earn it,” Sarkisian said Sunday. “So to earn a bowl bid this year, I think it’s great for them that they that they get this experience against a really good opponent.”
Washington has been one of the nation’s most explosive teams all year long thanks to the ascent of fifth-year junior quarterback Michael Penix Jr and some electric playmakers.
An Indiana transfer, Penix threw for an FBS-leading 4,354 yards during the regular season with 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Receivers Jalen McMillan and Rome Odunze combined for 141 receptions, 2,128 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.
The Huskies rank first nationally in passing offense and second in total offense under first-year coach Kalen DeBoar, who spent the previous two seasons at Fresno State. And after dropping consecutive one-score road games to UCLA and Arizona State, Washington closed its season with six straight wins, including victories over then-No. 23 Oregon State and No. 6 Oregon.
“Certainly, a lot of attention goes to what Michael Penix has done,” DeBoar said Sunday. “He played an important role in kickstarting our offense and just gave our whole team a lot of belief and confidence in what we were capable of doing. And we’ve just been riding the momentum here through the month of November.”
The 2022 Alamo Bowl will be played Thursday, Dec. 29 at 8 p.m. in the 65,000-seat Alamodome and will be televised on ESPN.

The rebuilding Spurs are losing in historic fashion, but the coaching staff insists the players continue to approach each game as if they were in the playoff hunt.
“That locker room is amazing,” assistant coach Brett Brown said. “Those guys are high-character, young men that just want to get better.”
But considering how badly they were beaten Sunday, those “young men” could be forgiven for leaving the AT&T Center depressed for a change.
Deandre Ayton scored 25 points and Devin Booker and Mikal Bridges each finished with 20 as the Western Conference-leading Phoenix pounded the Western Conference cellar-dwelling Spurs 133-95 to extend their losing streak to 11 games.
The Suns led by 30 points at halftime.
It’s the second-longest skid in Spurs history. If they lose their next two games — against Houston at home on Thursday and at Miami on Dec. 10 — they’ll match the 13-game streak recorded by the 1988-89 team.
Brown filled in for Gregg Popovich for the second straight game. Popovich, 73, is recovering from what the club called a “minor medical procedure” he underwent on Friday.
SPURS VS. ROCKETS
When/where: 7:30 p.m. Thursday at AT&T Center.
TV/radio: KENS; 1200 AM, 1350 AM (Spanish), 107.5 FM (Spanish).
Asked before Sunday’s game if it looks positive that Popovich will return to the bench Thursday, Brown said, “We believe so. He is fine. That's what people should hear the loudest. It was just a minor situation.”
Keldon Johnson had a game-high 27 points for the Spurs, who fell to 6-18, including 3-10 at the AT&T Center, and are 1-16 in their last 17 games.
The Spurs were outscored 36-11 in the second quarter to trail 71-41 at halftime. The 41 points matched their lowest scoring output for a first half this season and the 11 points were the fewest they’ve scored in any period this year.
The Spurs were without injured players Jakob Poeltl, Jeremy Sochan, Doug McDermott, Josh Richardson.

To hear Phoenix’s Monty Williams tell it, Spurs assistant Brett Brown has every skill he needs to be a successful NBA coach.
And some skills he does not.
“He makes the best paper airplanes,” Williams said. “He could stand at the top of a building and that thing could fly 300 yards.”
Brown and Williams were once colleagues with the Spurs. For a season in Philadelphia, Brown was Williams’ boss.
With Spurs coach Gregg Popovich out for a second consecutive game Sunday recovering from a medical procedure, Brown and Williams were adversaries.
Brown’s airplane-construction skills aside, Williams said he would not have walked into the AT&T Center as the head coach of the Western Conference-leading Suns without him.
“He was a big part of my start,” Williams said.
Brown was a player development assistant with the Spurs in 2005, when Williams joined the staff as an unpaid intern.
Unsure of himself as a future coach, Williams found an open mind and open arms in Brown.
“He was the coach who told Pop and R.C. (Buford), ‘I got him,’ ” Williams said. “Brett was the guy. I couldn’t have had a better mentor.”
Williams briefly left coaching in February 2016, after his wife was killed in a car crash. He was an assistant coach in Oklahoma City at the time.
The Spurs offered Williams a soft landing the following season, opening a spot in their front office for him.
When Williams was ready to return to the bench in 2018-19, it was Brown — at the time the head coach in Philly — who offered him a job.
The next season, Williams earned the head coaching spot in Phoenix, and led the Suns to an NBA Finals appearance in 2020-21.
Brown was not surprised.
“I would have guessed something great is going to happen,” Brown said. “Where, when, how — who knows? … When you are around him for the frequency of time I was with him, you are reminded of how good he is.”
In Philadelphia, Williams credits Brown with helping him streamline his approach to the game.
“He was the one who helped me organize my world from a basketball standpoint,” Williams said. “He had so many situations and so many plays and so many ways to organize the gym. He’s just a unique basketball mind.”
There is one skill Williams never absorbed from Brown.
The Suns coach still can’t make a proper paper airplane.
“The ones I make are like the ones you learn in kindergarten,” Williams said. “You fold them three times and they go straight to the ground.”
Landale enjoying new home in Phoenix
Former Spurs forward Jock Landale was hanging out in the San Francisco area with his wife last summer, trying to enjoy his offseason, when reality came crashing in.
“I was living life and enjoying some downtime,” Landale said. “Basketball wasn’t on my mind at the time.”
That’s where Landale was when he got the call from Popovich that he was being included in one of the blockbuster trades of the NBA summer.
The Spurs were sending All-Star point guard Dejounte Murray to Atlanta, Popovich told him, and Landale was collateral damage.
With so much in flux, there was a period in which Landale was unsure where he should start looking for houses.
“There were three days or something where we were trying to figure things out,” Landale said. “Whether I was going to Atlanta or if there was another trade in the works.”
The Hawks ended up sending Landale to Phoenix, which turned out to be fine with him.
“It’s kind of my vibe,” Landale said.
Landale appeared in 54 games in his lone season with the Spurs, averaging 4.9 points and 2.6 rebounds.
In 19 games with the Suns heading into Sunday, Landale averaged 6.3 points and 3.6 boards.
“I’m enjoying it — the culture, the city, the landscape,” Landale said. “There’s a winning culture I’m happy to be a part of. It’s me.”
Poeltl, Sochan miss third straight games
Starting center Jakob Poeltl missed his third consecutive game Sunday with a bone bruise in his right knee. Starting forward Jeremy Sochan missed his third straight with a thigh contusion.
Brown said he is uncertain when the team might get either player back on the court.
“They’re doing a little bit (in practice),” Brown said. “In relation to duration of how long they are out, I don’t.”
Reserve guard Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson, who have ankle sprains, were also out against Phoenix.
The Spurs have three days off after Sunday, which Brown says will be “helpful” on the injury front.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jurors in the capital murder trial of a former U.S. Border Patrol agent have heard a taped interview in which he confesses to the 2018 killings of four sex workers in South Texas.
If convicted of capital murder, Juan David Ortiz, 39, faces life in prison without parole because prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. The trial started on Nov. 28 and is set to continue on Monday.
Ortiz, a Navy veteran, was a Border Patrol intelligence supervisor at the time of his arrest in September 2018. Ortiz, who officials have said wasn’t on duty during the killings and wore civilian clothes, is accused of killing Melissa Ramirez, 29; Claudine Anne Luera, 42; Guiselda Alicia Cantu, 35; and Janelle Ortiz, 28.
Each woman was shot in the head and left along roads on the outskirts of Laredo in September. One died of blunt force trauma after being shot.
Juan David Ortiz told detectives in the video played in court last week that as he drove along a stretch of road that the women frequented, “the monster would come out,” the San Antonio Express-News reported. He told investigators he wanted to “clean up the streets,” and referred to the women as “trash” and “so dirty.”
Ortiz’s attorney, Joel Perez, argued in opening statements that investigators had jumped to conclusions, and that his client’s confession was “coerced.” He said his client was “broken” and “suicidal” when he made the confession and told investigators he'd had blackouts. Perez said that Ortiz told the investigators that he was a war veteran who'd been experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and was unable to sleep and was having nightmares. Perez said Ortiz had been put on “a bunch of psychotic pills."
The ex-agent's arrest was set in motion when a woman, Erika Pena, escaped from him when he pointed a gun at her while they were in his truck at a gas station on Sept. 14, 2018. Pena, now 31, testified that Ortiz would give her money for drugs, drive her to buy them and then they would have sex.
Normally, she said, he was “nice, smart, funny, a normal guy,” but on Sept. 14, 2018, she got a bad feeling after he told her he was the “next to last person” to have sex with Ramirez, who was found slain the week earlier. She testified that he was worried investigators would find his DNA.
“It made me think that he was the one who might have been murdering,” Pena told the jury.
Luera had been fatally shot on Sept. 13, 2018.
After Pena escaped, Ortiz fled from the gas station but was later arrested when authorities tracked him to a hotel parking garage.
In the interview with investigators, Ortiz said that after Ramirez had injected the drugs he's bought for her, she'd passed out and that “angered” him. He said that when she regained consciousness, she became belligerent. Ortiz said that when he stopped so that she could use the restroom, he shot her in the back of the head.
Ortiz told investigators that after picking up Luera and taking her to get “a fix," he told her they should check out where Ramirez's body was found. He said she “started freaking out.” She died at a hospital after being shot in the head.
Capt. Federico Calderon of the Webb County Sheriff’s Department testified that officers who arrested Ortiz knew about the slayings of Ramirez and Luera, and while chasing him after Pena's escape learned that a third body — later identified as that of Cantu — had been found.
Calderon said it wasn't until Ortiz's confession that they learned about a fourth slain woman — later identified as Janelle Ortiz.
Calderon told jurors that the information about a fourth victim was “volunteered” by Ortiz and “surprised us completely.”
Both Janelle Ortiz and Cantu were killed in the hours before Juan David Ortiz's arrest.
Ortiz said on the tape that he’d planned to kill himself that night and that Cantu told him: "Don’t do it. God loves you.” Then, he said, he shot her in the neck.
The trial is being held in San Antonio, in Bexar County, following a defense request to move the trial from Webb County due to extensive media coverage.
The Border Patrol placed Ortiz on indefinite, unpaid suspension after his arrest. When asked last week for an update on his current employment status, a Border Patrol official said the agency doesn’t comment on “pending litigation.”

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Welcome back, Neymar, at just the right time at the World Cup.
Neymar seemed healthy in training before Monday's game against South Korea in the round of 16. The forward missed the final two matches of the group stage after injuring his right ankle in the opening game win over Serbia.
Brazil easily moved into the next round without Neymar. No longer bothered by his ankle, Neymar was expected to start — and not come off the bench as a precautionary measure — if he plays against South Korea.
“I prefer to use my best player from the start,” Brazil coach Tite said. “It’s the coach who has to make that decision and take on that responsibility.”
In footage released by the Brazilian soccer federation, he appeared to be in good condition, doing drills with the ball and taking shots on goal without signs of his injury.
“Obviously we won’t say that it’s better to face Brazil when Neymar is playing, but I always prefer when the best players are there,” South Korea coach Paulo Bento said.
Bento hasn't been pleased with the three-day rest period between games from the group stage to the knockout round. Brazil advanced with a game to spare and was able to rest the team's stars in its final match, but South Korea had to claw its way into the knockout round with a win over Portugal.
“It’s not fair,” Bento said. “I think that it has to do with the new FIFA reality, which is to create worse conditions for the less-favored teams and probably better conditions for the more-favored ones.”
Even after the surprise win over Portugal, South Korea had to wait for over nine agonizing minutes of extra time for a game across Qatar to end. The outcome of Uruguay against Ghana determined if the South Korean's advanced into the round of 16.
When Uruguay failed to score the goals it needed to best South Korea for the final spot in Group H, the South Korean players who had formed a circle on the field to watch the game on phones erupted into joyous celebration.
South Korean captain Son Heung-min even began to cry.
South Korea is now trying to advance past the round of 16 for the first time since the Asian team's historic run as a co-host in 2002, when it reached the semifinals and finished fourth. South Korea was eliminated in the group stage in 2014 and 2018.
South Korea advanced by beating Portugal 2-1 with a dramatic stoppage-time goal by Hwang Hee-chan, who was a second-half substitute. He's expected to be in the starting lineup again against Brazil after missing the team’s first two games because of a hamstring injury.
“In the first match it was impossible for me to play and the pain got worse. I did a little running, but I thought I could play the second match, but they held me out," Hwang said, adding that playing against Portugal "was a little bit of a risk. But I didn’t care what happened to me personally. I just wanted to contribute.”
It will be the first official meeting between Brazil and South Korea, with the South Americans winning six of seven friendlies. South Korea was victorious in 1999.
“We can’t think it’s going to be an easy game like it was in that friendly,” Brazil captain Thiago Silva said. “Now it’s the World Cup and they’ve advanced in a very tough group. We have a lot of respect for them.”
JAPAN-CROATIA
Japan and Croatia meet for the first time in the knockout round of the World Cup after the teams squared off two previous times in group play. Croatia won in 1998 and the teams finished with a goalless draw eight years later.
This time, Japan won Group E after come-from-behind 2-1 victories over Germany and Spain and is in the knockout round for back-to-back tournaments for the first time in team history.
At stake for Japan is its first trip to the quarterfinals in four tries.
“Japan is a team that doesn't quit,” Croatia coach Zlatko Dalić said. “They conceded goals at the beginning of the match both against Germany and Spain, but they came back. They had a lot of faith in themselves, and that is a great virtue of the Japan national team.”
Croatia, the runner-up to France in the 2018 World Cup, is making its third appearance in the knockout round. Croatia beat Romania in 1998 to advance to the semifinals and defeated Denmark 3-2 on penalties in 2018 en route to the final game — a 4-2 loss to reigning World Cup champion France.
It is the first time Croatia will play an Asian team in a World Cup knockout match after eight previous games against European teams.
“For us, it will be key that we are also disciplined and patient,” Dalić said. "We cannot make mistakes because Japan has the quality to punish those mistakes. We need to be good at falling back if we lose the ball.”
Croatia advanced despite two goalless draws in group play — equaling the number of scoreless games it had in the 2006, 2014 and 2018 tournaments, a span of 13 games.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jurors in the capital murder trial of a former U.S. Border Patrol agent have heard a taped interview in which he confesses to the 2018 killings of four sex workers in South Texas.
If convicted of capital murder, Juan David Ortiz, 39, faces life in prison without parole because prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. The trial started on Nov. 28 and is set to continue on Monday.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Deandre Ayton had 25 points and 10 rebounds, and the Phoenix Suns overwhelmed San Antonio 133-95 on Sunday, handing the Spurs their 11th straight loss.
San Antonio fell behind by 30 points in the second quarter and is now two losses shy of the franchise’s worst skid set in 1989.
Devin Booker and Mikal Bridges each had 20 points as Phoenix won for the seventh time in eight games.
Keldon Johnson has 27 points for the Spurs, who have not won since Nov. 11.
San Antonio was without coach Gregg Popovich for the second straight game with what the team termed a minor medical procedure. Popovich is expected to return Thursday in a home game against Houston.
Popovich is not texting San Antonio assistant coach Brett Brown with coaching advice.
“It hasn’t gotten to that,” Brown said.
Not that it would have helped the beleaguered Spurs against the Suns.
San Antonio was without starters Jakob Poeltl and Jeremy Sochan and key reserves Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson.
The matchup went as expected between the Western Conference’s best record and its worst.
Phoenix shot 52% from the field and was 19 for 37 on 3-pointers.
San Antonio’s 11 points in the second quarter were a season low for any period. The Spurs committed seven turnovers and were 5 for 20 from the field in the period.
The Spurs tied a season low with 41 points in the first half. Phoenix’s 71 points were the most given up by San Antonio in the first half this season.
TIP-INS
Suns: PG Chris Paul missed his 13th straight game with a sore right heel. … F Torrey Craig missed the game with a strained right groin.
Spurs: San Antonio is just 1-16 since starting the season 5-2. … G Romeo Langford, who was listed as questions with lower back tightness, played eight minutes. He had three points and made his only field goal attempt.
UP NEXT
Suns: At Dallas on Monday.
Spurs: Host Houston on Thursday.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Morgan Barron and Mark Scheifele scored a pair of quick goals in the third period and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Sunday.
Barron scored at 13:23 for a 3-2 lead. Scheifele followed up with his team-leading 13th goal of the season at 15:12.
Saku Maenalanen and Nate Schmidt each had a goal and assist for the Jets. Dylan Samberg recorded his first NHL goal and Kyle Connor added a pair of assists.
Connor Hellebuyck made 28 saves for Winnipeg, which is 2-1-0 in a four-game homestand that wraps up Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.
Jakob Silfverberg and Brett Leason scored for the Ducks, whose winless streak stretched to six games (0-4-2).
Anthony Stolarz stopped 35 shots for Anaheim, which was coming off a 5-4 shootout loss to Minnesota on Saturday.
Silfverberg scored on a rebound on a power play late in the first period. The Ducks went up 2-0 after a giveaway by Samberg near center ice turned into a breakaway for Leason at 5:09 of the second.
After Scheifele rang a shot off the post, Schmidt sent a puck from behind the net out front to Maenalanen and he put it behind Stolarz at 10:31 of the middle period.
Samberg redeemed himself for his earlier miscue when he tied it at 2 with a point shot through traffic at 13:28. Anaheim put in an unsuccessful coach’s challenge for a high stick.
NOTES
Jets winger Blake Wheeler has three goals and seven assists in his last five games. … Rookie Michael Eyssimont was moved to Winnipeg’s top line with Dubois and Connor midway through the second period.
UP NEXT
Jets: Host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.
Ducks: Host the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — DK Metcalf caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith with 36 seconds to play, and the Seattle Seahawks overcame an inspired performance by Bobby Wagner for a 27-23 victory over the spiraling Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Smith passed for a career-high 367 yards and threw three TD passes for the Seahawks (7-5), who barely snapped their two-game skid with 438 yards of offense against a Rams defense missing Aaron Donald.
After Cam Akers’ second TD run put the Rams up 23-20 with 2:56 to play, Smith patiently directed the winning 75-yard drive, hitting Marquise Goodwin for 17 yards one play before finding Metcalf between defenders in the end zone.
Tyler Lockett and Noah Fant caught early TD passes from Smith in the most prolific game of the quarterback's decade in the NFL. Metcalf had eight catches for 127 yards, and Lockett had nine receptions for a season-high 128 yards as the Seahawks sent defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles (3-9) to its sixth straight defeat.
Wagner had two sacks and an interception for the Rams in his first career game against Seattle, where he spent the previous 10 years and made six All-Pro teams while becoming one of the greatest linebackers of his generation. Although Wagner downplayed the matchup during the week, he played with a fire that nearly propelled the injury-depleted Super Bowl champions to their first victory since Oct. 16.
John Wolford passed for 178 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions for the Rams, who are ensured their first losing season in coach Sean McVay's six-year tenure.
Wolford made his fourth career start in place of Matthew Stafford, who missed his third game in four weeks for the Rams with injuries that have put him in the NFL’s concussion protocol twice. Stafford went on injured reserve Saturday, sidelining him for at least three more games and possibly signaling the end of his season.
Donald, the seven-time All-Pro defensive tackle, also missed the first game of his nine-year Rams career due to injury, sitting out with a high ankle sprain. He joined a dizzying list of contributors with major injury problems for Los Angeles, including All-Pro receiver Cooper Kupp and several key players on an offensive line that used its 12th starting combination in 12 games.
After Akers scored on the Rams' opening drive, Seattle made two long scoring drives ending in TD catches by Lockett and Fant. Los Angeles nearly kept pace offensively with an opponent for the first time in many weeks, but couldn't turn its drives into touchdowns.
Wagner ripped the ball out of Tony Jones Jr.'s hands for his interception late in the third quarter, leading to Matt Gay's third field goal that trimmed Seattle's lead to one point with 12:57 to play.
After Jason Myers' second field goal made it 20-16 with 6:46 left, the Rams went 75 yards for a score on a strong 6-yard run by Akers, who spent three weeks away from the team at midseason after a disagreement with the coaching staff.
INJURIES
Seattle lost rookie running back Kenneth Walker to an ankle injury in the first half. DeeJay Dallas then got hurt on the final play before halftime, but he returned after Jones — the only healthy running back left on Seattle’s roster — took a hard hit from Russ Yeast. ... Seattle defensive back Josh Jones was ruled out with a hamstring injury early in the second quarter.

Seahawks: Host Carolina on Sunday.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mike White and the New York Jets coaching staff won’t need to take long to dissect what went wrong in Sunday’s 27-22 loss at Minnesota.
For White, who had his second 300-yard passing game in as many weeks as New York’s starting quarterback, the answer is obvious. The Jets scored one touchdown on six trips inside the Vikings 20-yard line. New York was 1 of 3 scoring touchdowns in goal-to-go situations.
“I think for the most part, when you lose a game, you do have a sense of what the reasoning was,” White said after the Jets’ comeback fell short. “Today was just glaring. ... It starts with me. Got to figure out a way to get in there. I don’t know what it is. I’ll watch the tape, get with our coaches and learn from it and correct it.”
White and coach Robert Saleh credited the team’s determination in overcoming a 20-3 halftime deficit. But the second-half rally fell short when White’s throw to the goal line with 16 seconds left was intercepted by Camryn Bynum.
It was another instance of being stopped by the Vikings in the red zone.
“I just know that they were running double-end cuts to the field every single time,” Bynum said. “A lot of the big plays they got was that route, in-breaking from No. 1. That’s a tough route for the corner, especially for his outside leverage, so I just shuffled in with the quarterback’s eyes and as soon as he came off of No. 2, jumped into window No. 1 and that was the play.”
For White, who was 31 of 57 for 369 yards passing with no TDs and two INTs, it was the only spot he had left because of Minnesota’s coverage. So, he tried to thread the ball to Corey Davis when Bynum stepped in front for the game-sealing interception.
White has provided a boost to New York’s stagnant passing game since replacing Zach Wilson. After making adjustments, the Jets had 336 yards in the second half. But while they scored on five straight possessions at one point, four were field goals against a defense that is allowing touchdowns on 64.5% of trips within the 20, ranking 26th in the NFL.
In goal-to-go scenarios, the Vikings have allowed the opponent to reach the end zone 81.3% of the time, which is 27th in the league.
“Can’t win the game just kicking field goals,” Saleh said.
Greg Zuerlein converted all five of his field-goal attempts for New York. But Minnesota finished when it got close, scoring touchdowns on all three of its trips to the red zone.
“It’s tough, man,” said receiver Garrett Wilson, who caught eight of 15 targets for 162 yards. “Those threes got to turn to six and that starts with us having a great week to prepare. Obviously, another great opponent next week that we’re going to need those to be six points.
"It’s frustrating, but this is a game of inches and we felt that today, for sure.”
Wilson nearly scored at the end of what ended up being a 60-yard reception in the fourth quarter. He just barely stepped out of bounds at the 11-yard line. Three passes later, New York had to settle for a 26-yard field goal from Zuerlein.
Particularly late, the Jets had their chances. They had the ball within the 20 twice in the final two minutes. Their first fourth-down attempt fell short as Braxton Berrios couldn’t corral what would have been a tough catch in the end zone.
“It was there,” Berrios said. “I think Mike put it in the only place that he could. Yeah, man, you've got to come down with that one.”
Even New York’s lone conversion for a touchdown wasn’t easy. White was nearly stopped on a fourth-down run from the 1-yard line. He was initially ruled short, but a review determined he had crossed the line for a score.
“My job as a quarterback is to put our team in the best position and that’s scoring when we’re in the red zone,” White said. “It starts with me. Got to figure out how to put the ball in the end zone.
"If we can do that, I think we win the game today.”

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Morgan Barron and Mark Scheifele scored a pair of quick goals in the third period and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Sunday.
Barron scored at 13:23 for a 3-2 lead. Scheifele followed up with his team-leading 13th goal of the season at 15:12.
Saku Maenalanen and Nate Schmidt each had a goal and assist for the Jets. Dylan Samberg recorded his first NHL goal and Kyle Connor added a pair of assists.
Connor Hellebuyck made 28 saves for Winnipeg, which is 2-1-0 in a four-game homestand that wraps up Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.
Jakob Silfverberg and Brett Leason scored for the Ducks, whose winless streak stretched to six games (0-4-2).
Anthony Stolarz stopped 35 shots for Anaheim, which was coming off a 5-4 shootout loss to Minnesota on Saturday.
Silfverberg scored on a rebound on a power play late in the first period. The Ducks went up 2-0 after a giveaway by Samberg near center ice turned into a breakaway for Leason at 5:09 of the second.
After Scheifele rang a shot off the post, Schmidt sent a puck from behind the net out front to Maenalanen and he put it behind Stolarz at 10:31 of the middle period.
Samberg redeemed himself for his earlier miscue when he tied it at 2 with a point shot through traffic at 13:28. Anaheim put in an unsuccessful coach’s challenge for a high stick.
NOTES
Jets winger Blake Wheeler has three goals and seven assists in his last five games. … Rookie Michael Eyssimont was moved to Winnipeg’s top line with Dubois and Connor midway through the second period.
