Wagner regrets negative tweets

linebacker

expressed regret Wednesday for taking to social media to convey his frustratio­n with comments made by teammate after a blowout loss to the Rams.

“There was a better way of going about the situation,” Wagner said.

Wagner played in the 42-7 loss Sunday despite being limited by a hamstring injury that’s been bothering him for nearly two months. He was clearly not at his normal level and Thomas questioned after the game whether Wagner should have been playing in the first place.

Wagner sent two tweets that were later deleted. In one, he told Thomas to “keep my name” out of his mouth and to “stop being jealous” of other people’s success. Seahawks

Elliott stays mum: running back

returned to practice for the first time since Nov. 3 after completing a sixweek suspension over domestic violence allegation­s but wouldn’t address questions about his hiatus.

Elliott ended a session with reporters after 70 seconds following five questions about his time away from the Cowboys, saying, “All right, I’m done.” His only answer of substance was a thank-you given to the organizati­on, Elliott’s family and fans “for just supporting me through the time.”

Newton backs Quarterbac­k said embattled owner should be considered innocent until proved guilty.

Richardson is under investigat­ion by the NFL for

owner: Panthers sexual and racial misconduct in the workplace and announced Sunday just hours after a Sports Illustrate­d report detailed his alleged misconduct that he’s selling the team.

Newton said while he disagrees with any type of sexual misconduct, he has immense respect for Richardson based on their seven-year relationsh­ip and that “everything I’ve heard were allegation­s, and nothing was actually proved.”

White moving on: rookie cornerback

said he’s willing to forgive Patriots tight end

for blindsidin­g him in the back of the head during the Bills’ loss three weeks ago.

Without repeating the accusation­s he made against Gronkowski following the hit, White referred to his reaction as being “childish.” He had called Gronkowski a “dirty player” and referred to the NFL’s decision to suspend the tight end for one game as “a joke.”
