GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers rookie cornerback Carrington Valentine often looked to veteran Rasul Douglas for advice as the seventh-round draft pick from Kentucky attempted to make a successful transition to the NFL.Valentine now has the biggest opportunity of his young career but no longer has Douglas around to guide him.The trade of Douglas to the Buffalo Bills this week while 2021 first-round draft pick Eric Stokes remains on injured reserve leaves the Packers depending on some inexperienced cornerbacks such as Valentine and Corey Ballentine to work alongside Jaire Alexander and Keisean Nixon.“Rasul was a mentor to me,” Valentine said. “I sat next to him every day. I’m sad to see him go. I learned a lot from him. I appreciate everything. He didn’t have to do that.

But there would be at least one big difference in bringing “Nyad” to life: actors.“In nonfiction, you observe. You’re like the closest listener,” Vasarhelyi told The Associated Pres...

The 28-year-old looked stronger and more confident while practicing three straight days. He and the Browns think he’s ready.“He had a really good Wednesday, really good Thursday, really good Friday,” Stefanski said. “He’s comfortable, and he looks good.”Only one...
