Ravens QB Lamar Jackson ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. Bengals

BALTIMORE — After days of speculation and drama over whether Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson would play this week, the decision matched the past two games. Jackson, who hasn’t played since suffering a high left ankle sprain in the Ravens’ Oct. 4 win over the Tennessee Titans, was ruled out Saturday for Sunday’s pivotal AFC North showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium. It will mark the third straight game the two-time NFL MVP has missed. “I’m just trying to move how I move,” Jackson said Friday in his first comments to reporters since suffering the injury. “If I can’t do that, I can’t help my team.

The possible future of passenger rail in the Pacific Northwest

The Pacific Northwest has several proposals to expand and improve passenger rail, from making Amtrak Cascades more reliable to building a high-speed rail line between Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. Oregon and Washington transportation officials are asking the public to weigh in on their plans for the future of passenger rail. Courtesy of Oregon Department of Transportation Oregon’s draft State Rail Plan identifies a dozen projects intended to improve passenger rail service, including upgrades to help Amtrak Cascades avoid freight traffic, which is a common source of delays. One proposed improvement would add a second track at Eugene Station. Currently, a Cascades train finishing a trip in Eugene travels about 1.8 miles to a freight yard to prepare for its next departure. If it gets stuck behind a freight train on the way back, the delay can carry into its next trip.…
