NFL: Raiders win Hall of Fame game

-

Josh Jacobs, rookie Zamir White and Austin Walter ran well on a rain-soaked field as the Raiders routed the Jaguars, 27-11, in the Hall of Fame game Thursday night in Canton, Ohio.

● The Steelers and Pro Bowl wide receiver Diontae Johnson agreed to a three-year deal that runs through the 2024 season. The deal will reportedly pay Johnson more than $39 million over the next three years.

● U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni made it likely she will rule in weeks, rather than months, whether NFL Commission­er Roger Goodell will get to decide the merits of racial discrimina­tion claims made by black coaches against the league and its teams, saying Thursday an effort to gather more evidence seems like “an impermissi­ble fishing expedition.”

The judge’s written ruling said that lawyers for coaches Brian Flores, Steve Wilks and Ray Horton cannot gather additional evidence from defendants to support their arguments that the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court should remain in court rather than being sent to arbitratio­n.

● Rams quarterbac­k Matthew Stafford will take some extended time off because of pain in his throwing elbow.

● Ravens linebacker Vince Biegel sustained a torn Achilles tendon during practice and was carted off the field.
