The Minnesota Vikings have 13 wins this season and yet the performance is not enough. The biggest regular season matchup in years is scheduled for Sunday against the Green Bay Packers . A win puts them in play for the NFC’s top seed during Week 18. Thankfully they go into the contest with a clean bill of health. The Demon returns for Minnesota Vikings Brian Flores ’ defense has been without Ivan Pace Jr. since Week 12 against the Chicago Bears . He was placed on injured reserve and just had his practice window opened this week . After logging a week’s worth of full practices, he has been activated for Sunday’s matchup. The #Vikings have activated LB Ivan Pace Jr. from IR. He will enter tomorrow without a game designation. LB Jamin Davis has been waived. pic.twitter.com/CEwqtm4Y9p Last season, as an undrafted rookie, Ivan Pace Jr. quarterbacked the Vikings defense wearing the green dot. This year he has ceded those responsibilities to Blake Cashman, but remains as important as ever. In nine games, Pace Jr. has a career-best three sacks. He has recorded 59 tackles and has hit the opposing quarterback six times. His six tackles for loss are four more than he recorded last season in 17 games, and he took a fumble recovery to the house. Ivan Pace Jr. starts in the B gap and makes the tackle on the screen. He beat Andrew Thomas, who had a head start on him by alignment, to the spot to make the play. pic.twitter.com/1kQXdjV7hq The return of Pace Jr. is a significant boost for the Vikings defense. He missed the first game against Green Bay this year and is locked in to help Cashman slow Josh Jacobs on Sunday. Minnesota’s rush defense showed up against Seattle and will need to do so again on Sunday. With Pace Jr. elevated to the active roster, Minnesota waived Jamin Davis. The former 19th overall pick played in four games for Minnesota. He recorded a single sack despite logging just 21 total defensive snaps. Minnesota couldn’t be healthier going into the game against Green Bay. Veteran cornerback Fabian Moreau is the only player ruled out. He had been inactive often until Stephon Gilmore missed time with an injury .

Tampa Bay is scheduled to play 13 of its first 16 games at home and 47 of 59 through May 28, then play 69 of its last 103 games on the road. The Rays are home for eight of 25 games in July and eight of 26 in August. A series scheduled at the Los Angeles Angels from April 7-9 will instead be played at Tampa, Florida, from April 8-10, MLB said Monday. The second series between the teams will be played at Anaheim, California, from Aug. 4-6 instead of at St. Petersburg, Florida, from Aug. 5-7. Minnesota's first series against the Rays will be played at Steinbrenner Field from May 26-28 and the Twins' second will be at Target Field in Minneapolis from July 4-6. The Class A Tampa Tarpons, Steinbrenner Field's usual team, had six home postponements, two cancellations and four suspended games this year from June 21 through their season finale on Sept. 8. Tampa Bay is now scheduled to play its first six games at home against Colorado and Pittsburgh, go to Texas for a three-game series, then return for a 13-game homestand against the Angels, Atlanta, Boston and the New York Yankees. Tropicana Field, the Rays' home since the team started play in 1998, was heavily damaged by Hurricane Milton on Oct. 9, with most of its fabric roof shredded. The Rays cannot return to the Trop until 2026 at the earliest, if at all. AP MLB: https://apnews.com/ Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Oncology Advancements Accelerate Amid Rising Early-Onset Cancer DiagnosesThe outgoing head of the nation’s top public health agency urged the next administration to maintain its focus and funding to keep Americans safe from emerging health threats. “We need to continue to do our global work at CDC to make sure we are stopping outbreaks at their source,” Dr. Mandy Cohen, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “We need to keep that funding up. We need to keep the expertise up. We need to keep the diplomacy up.” Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are Cohen, 46, will be leaving office in January after about 18 months in the job. President-elect Donald Trump on Friday night said he picked Dave Weldon, a former Congressman from Florida, to be the agency’s next chief. Cohen said she hasn’t met Weldon and doesn’t know him. She previously voiced concern about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the anti-vaccine advocate and CDC critic nominated to oversee all federal public health agencies. The CDC, with a $9.2 billion core budget, is charged with protecting Americans from disease outbreaks and other public health threats. The staff is heavy with scientists — 60% have master’s degrees or doctorates. The last eight years have been perhaps the most difficult in the agency's history. The CDC once enjoyed a sterling international reputation for its expertise on infectious diseases and other causes of illness and death. But trust in the agency fell because of missteps during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, political attacks and resistance to infection-prevention measures like wearing masks and getting vaccinated. The CDC has four political appointees, out of about 13,000 employees. The rest serve no matter who is in the White House, with civil service protections against efforts to fire them for political reasons. Trump said during the campaign that he wants to convert many federal agency positions into political appointments, meaning those employees could be hired and fired by whoever wins the election. There’s also a proposal to split the agency in two: one to track disease data, and another focused on public health but with a limited ability to make policy recommendations. And then there’s a current budget proposal in Congress that would cut the agency’s funding by 22%. It would also eliminate the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, which works on topics like drownings, drug overdoses, suicides and and shooting deaths. Cohen said there’s reason to be proud of the agency’s work in recent years. The CDC has built partnerships to improve the availability of testing for different infections and to watch for signs of disease outbreaks by monitoring wastewater. There are emerging threats, as always, but no new, full-fledged public health emergencies, she said. The day after the Nov. 5 election, Cohen emailed CDC employees to urge them to keep going. “While the world may feel different with changes ahead — our mission has not changed,” she wrote. She said she’s not aware of any wave of worried CDC scientists heading for the doors because of the election results. “There is a difference between campaigning and governing,” she said. “I want to go into this in a way that we’re passing the baton.” Cohen said she doesn’t know what she’ll do next, other than spend time with her family in Raleigh, North Carolina, where her family maintained its residence while she ran the agency. Next year, for the first time, the CDC director will be subject to Senate confirmation, which could make for a gap before Trump's pick takes the helm. CDC Deputy Director Dr. Debra Houry has been assigned to help manage the transition. Aside from administration transition, the CDC has to face several looming threats. Officials this month confirmed the first U.S. case of a new form of mpox that was first seen in eastern Congo. There’s also the ongoing stream of bird flu cases, most of them mild illnesses seen in farmworkers who were in direct contact with infected cows or chickens. CDC officials say they believe the risk to the public remains low and that there’s no evidence it’s been spreading between people. “I don’t think we’re yet at a turning place. But does that mean it couldn’t change tomorrow? It could,” she said. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.
