Global nuclear watchdog votes unanimously to close book on Iran’s nuclear past
Several economic restrictions were placed on Iran after allegations of development of nuclear weapons were made against Iran. Ensher said the IAEA assessment was not surprising, considering “Iran’s long history of concealment, denial, and deception”.

It’s unclear if the New Orleans Saints will have Drew Brees available as they try to avoid their most losses in coach Sean Payton’s tenure.


Japan’s Abe orders top diplomat to S Korea for ‘comfort women’ talks
Government spokesmen were unable to confirm the reports of the foreign ministers’ meeting. Japan paid 0 million in economic aid and loans to South Korea in that settlement.

The New Orleans Saints quarterback insisted on Thursday that he would play even if he didn’t practice all week with a torn plantar fascia in his right heel. Receiver Brandin Cooks was Brees’ top target, hauling in 10 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown.


Marcus Mariota’s right knee injury not believed serious
Chris Mortensen of ESPN said he has a sprained MCL, the same injury he had earlier this year that cost him some time. He left the game in the second quarter after running back Antonio Andrews failed to block linebacker Jamie Collins.

Former running back Travaris Cadet was inked this week and was placed on the active roster.

It might be Garrett Grayson at quarterback when the New Orleans Saints host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Hightower had his way throughout the game, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and bulldozing the line on two redzone scores.

The Jaguars’ secondary has been mediocre this season. The Saints scored touchdowns on their first three possessions and got a 37-yard field by Kai Forbath late in the second quarter to take a 24-point lead. Bortles has five 300-yard passing games this season, needs one more to tie club record for most 300-yard games in single season with Mark Brunell in 1996….

New Orleans’ beleaguered defense has squandered a few of those starts over the past couple of seasons.

Bartles wound up 27-for-35 for 368 yards with four touchdown passes and two interceptions.

Still, the Jaguars enter it needing to win to have a chance to keep their slim, slim AFC South title hopes alive. “It’s not that you change the way you play the game, but it makes things much more defined and precise”.

Payton has said about Brees’ injury: “We’re kind of taking it day by day”.

“What’s important for all young guys is that it’s a growth process throughout the season and I know my goal is to finish these last two games strong”, said Anthony, who’s been credited with 101 total tackles, a sack, an interception and forced fumble this season to go with his blocked extra-point return for two points. Running back Tim Hightower, a feel-good, comeback story, rushed for 122 yards and two scores.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Drew Brees’ right foot was hurting. It’s hard to win games when you give up 24 points in the first half, but it is also hard to stay competitive with six points in the first two quarters of action.

So that means if you don’t see a player’s name on here that you were expecting to see, then we don’t think he is a part (or a ” building block”) of the foundation. Thomas has 29 TDs since 2013, most among NFL TEs during span. Saints’ 30th-ranked pass defense has struggled against elite receiving TEs this season.
