Broncos not “remotely shopping anybody” ahead of trade deadline, Sean Payton says, but not guaranteed to stay idle

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:15:13 GMT

Sean Payton said he intended to spend part of Monday watching Buffalo film even though the teams don’t play for two weeks.His eyes, he says, are down the road, even with the trade deadline arriving Tuesday afternoon.Of course, he also acknowledged that he’ll likely meet with general manager George Paton later in the day. And the phone will probably ring. Perhaps frequently.“We’re not openly or even remotely shopping anybody,” Payton reiterated Monday.That is not the same thing as saying the Broncos are sure to stay idle.“Have people called? Sure the have,” Payton said. “Typically the buyer wants the media to know they called, not the seller. … It’s just a matter of what those other teams deem is important, and it’s hard to predict that.”The trick, of course, is balancing two straight wins into the bye week with the reality of a 6% playoff probability, the presence of several high-priced veterans who may or may not be in the Broncos’ long-term plan and the fact that Denve...

FDA says these eye drops could cause blindness

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:15:13 GMT

U.S. health regulators are warning consumers not to use more than two dozen varieties of over-the-counter eyedrops because of the risk of infections that could lead to blindness.The Food and Drug Administration advisory applies to lubricating drops sold by six companies, including CVS Health, Target, Rite Aid and Cardinal Health. Consumers should stop using the products immediately and avoid purchasing any that remain on pharmacy and store shelves, the FDA said in a statement Friday.The agency asked the companies to recall their products last week, because FDA inspectors found unsanitary conditions and bacteria at the facility producing the drops. The FDA did not disclose the location of the factory or when it was inspected.No injuries related to the products had been reported at the time of the announcement, but the FDA encouraged doctors and patients to submit cases through the agency’s online reporting system.Earlier this year, federal officials linked an outbreak of drug-resista...
