The New York Jets have begun to ramp up their preseason practice and boost the intensity, which has led to some players falling behind. In particular, fourth-year cornerback Brandin Echols has struggled to stay with the receivers since the transition took place. Echols had a solid showing during the first preseason game against the Washington Commanders, yet still struggled with certain aspects of play. If Echols is not able to pick up the play of his game moving forward, he may risk losing a spot on the roster over eager young cornerbacks.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
