Korey Banks will be sitting out for Winnipeg Blue Bombers, as the club placed the defensive back on the suspended list on Monday. The Bombers gauged trade interest in the 34-year-old prior to Thursdays season opener but have not found a deal. Banks was acquired from the British Columbia Lions for Canadian receiver Kito Poblah during the off-season. He did not play in Winnipegs season-opening victory over the Toronto Argonauts on Thursday. Banks is entering his 11th season in the CFL and tallied 46 tackles, one sack, two interceptions and recovered two fumbles with the Lions in 2013. The Mississippi State product has 442 tackles, 22 sacks, 37 interceptions, 14 fumbles recoveries and seven defensive touchdowns over his career with the Lions and Ottawa Renegades. Banks is a four-time CFL All-Star and won the Grey Cup with the Lions in 2006 and 2011. Hirving Lozano Jersey . For Sweed, a second round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, this will be his second go around in the CFL after previously having spent time with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Jesus Molina Mexico Jersey . -- The Washington Redskins coaching staff distanced itself from other coaches Thursday by siding with ownership -- and not the players -- in the NFLs labour dispute. http://www.nationalsoccermexico.com/carlos-salcedo-mexico-jersey/ . Watch the game live on TSN and TSN GO at 9pm et/6pm pt. Serge Ibaka returned to the Thunder lineup from a calf injury that was supposed to sideline him for the remainder of the postseason and the results were sparkling. Andres Guardado Mexico Jersey . His second visit, not so much. Roark (7-5) allowed four runs on 10 hits and one walk over six innings in a 7-2 setback in front of several friends and family members, as the Cubs snapped his personal streak of four consecutive victories on Friday. Jose de Jesus Corona Jersey . Im very excited about the playoffs, particularly in the Western Conference with amazing match-ups, as well as the wonderful local story in the Toronto Raptors. It should be a blast. Here are my predictions, but based upon my lousy prognostications during the NCAA Tournament, you might be better off going the other way on some of mine - particularly with the Raptors, who I hope and pray are able to win an incredibly difficult match-up.The NFL has announced seven winners of its second Head Health Challenge.Each will receive $500,000 for its project, and five could receive up to an additional $1 million in 2015 based on their progress. The winners were selected from nearly 500 proposals that were submitted between September 2013 and February 2014 from 19 countries.The program is sponsored by the NFL, GE and Under Armour and is part of a four-year, $40 million initiative to help develop diagnoses and treatments of mild traumatic brain injury.Each of these seven winners will help advance the science toward our shared goal of making sports safer, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. New materials, equipment designs and technology breakthroughs will better protect athletes, no matter what sport they play.The program winners are:— Army Research Laboratory, Baltimore. The ARL created rate-dependent tethers that provide resistance during high-speed events. The proposal called for the materials to be connected from the head to torso, allowing for voluntary movement during sports while minimizing sudden accelerations caused by high-speed collisions.— Emory University. Researchers and engineers at Emory and Georgia Tech developed a prototype medical device that can screen for and assess concussions in real time. The device includes a headset and hand-held device to assess symptoms, cognitive function, balance and eye movements.— UCLA. UCLA and Archittected Materials, Inc.dddddddddddd are developing a new energy-absorbing helmet liner that would absorb significantly more energy than current designs. The proposal plans to use a new 3D printing platform to develop real-time responsive helmet technology.— University of Miami. Its Miller School of Medicine, in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, is developing goggles to measure precise eye movements and assist in identifying mild traumatic brain injury in real time and more accurate concussion diagnosis.— University of Washington. Through its commercial partner, VICIS, Inc., the school is developing a new impact-absorbing helmet with a structure and materials to better protect against head injuries. The group developing the helmet includes engineers, neurosurgeons and public health experts.— Viconic, Inc., Detroit. Viconic is researching development of an under-layer for synthetic turf fields to make them safer. The goal is to provide the synthetic turf industry a tool to maximize safety and minimize cost.— University of New Hampshire. Researcher Erik Swartz is leading a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a helmetless training system for tackling. The study will examine whether implementation of this technique results in player behaviour change and reduces injury risk when shoulder pads and helmets are used.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
