Media Credit:New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock will have an MRI on his right shoulder after injuring it in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Monday. The results of Monday's MRI will help the team decide which quarterback gets the start in Week 17's matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, Daboll said, continuing a season trend of question marks at the position. New York has used four different quarterbacks this season, as longtime starter Daniel Jones was benched and later released on Nov. 22. Lock sat out the Giants' 35-14 loss in Week 15 to the visiting Baltimore Ravens due to heel and left elbow injuries. Tommy DeVito started against the Ravens and sustained a concussion late in the second quarter. Tim Boyle replaced DeVito and completed 12 of 24 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his debut with the team. Boyle had bounced between the practice squad and active roster since New York signed him in November. The Giants (2-13) will try to snap a 10-game losing skid -- the longest in franchise history -- on Sunday when they host the Colts (7-8). Lock, 28, is in his first season with the Giants and is 68-for-129 passing for 624 yards, one TD and four interceptions in six games (three starts). The Denver Broncos selected Lock in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played three seasons for the Broncos (2019-21) before they traded him to the Seattle Seahawks in March 2022. He has passed for 5,907 yards with a 58.7 percent completion rate, 29 TDs and 27 interceptions in 34 career games (26 starts). --Field Level Media
Gov. JB Pritzker on Thursday announced that IBM will partner with the state to create a new national quantum algorithm center in Chicago — marking the first Fortune 500 company to join the soon-to-be-constructed Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park on the South Side. It’s a huge win for Pritzker, who has for years sought to make Illinois a global leader in quantum computing and innovation. The announcement comes a day after the City Council gave the multibillion-dollar quantum computing campus final zoning approval. The newly announced National Quantum Algorithm Center will be anchored by IBM’s modular quantum computer, called IBM Quantum System Two, which will try to advance quantum supercomputing across industries. “We’re making Illinois the global quantum capital and the center for job growth in the quantum industry — a true center of innovation with the power to solve the world’s most pressing and complex challenges,” Pritzker said in a statement. The governor called it a “transformative step forward, whose impact will reverberate throughout the tech industry and beyond.” Beyond the potential advances in quantum technology, the center is expected to spur economic development — attracting scientists from across the world. Pritzker is also hoping IBM’s decision will continue to help advance federal research grants and private investments towards the quantum campus. The new IBM center will operate temporarily out of Hyde Park Labs, a commercial science and tech hub affiliated with the University of Chicago. After the state’s quantum campus is built, the center will move to the 128-acre Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park. The 440-acre development will be completed in phases over the next four to six years. Pritzker pushed to create the park, which will be financially backed by $500 million in state funding. Cook County is chipping in with about $175 million in tax breaks over the course of 30 years, and the city is kicking in $5 million. California-based PsiQuantum plans to build the world’s first commercially useful quantum computer at the massive site, which has struggled to find development since U.S. Steel closed the South Works in 1992. In July, Pritzker announced the U.S. Department of Defense’s research and development agency, or DARPA, will take residency on the state’s quantum campus to establish a program where quantum computing prototypes will be tested. According to DARPA, the goal of the “Quantum Benchmarking Initiative,” or QBI, will be to evaluate and test quantum computing claims and “separate hype from reality.” The quantum campus will feature a cryogenic facility, which is needed for research and development for microelectronics and quantum technologies. It’s expected to generate up to $60 billion in economic impact, according to estimates from the governor’s office. It’s also expected to create thousands of jobs, but the governor framed it as having the potential of creating “tens of thousands and perhaps more, jobs.” Chicago is already home to the Chicago Quantum Exchange, first launched in 2017 with Argonne and Fermi national laboratories, which now has one of the largest teams of quantum researchers in the world. When he was mayor, Rahm Emanuel helped jumpstart Chicago’s path to quantum development in 2018, announcing the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign would join the University of Chicago’s efforts in quantum technology with the Fermi and Argonne National Laboratories as part of the Chicago Quantum Exchange. In his more recent role as U.S. ambassador to Japan, Emanuel has helped secure multimillion dollar research deals between the University of Tokyo and the University of Chicago.
Kyiv says fatalities among its soldiers since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 have reached 43,000, a rare estimate much lower than a figure offered by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. The toll was revealed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a statement on the social media platform X on Sunday, hours after Trump claimed that Ukraine’s had “lost” 400,000 soldiers. Still, it’s unclear if Trump was referring to wounded troops as well as those killed. Zelenskyy said there had been 370,000 cases of “medical assistance for the wounded” on the battlefield, including light or repeat injuries. About half of the Ukrainian soldiers wounded in action have later returned to service, he said. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, the morning after a meeting in Paris with Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump provided an estimate of casualties for both Ukrainian and Russian troops in the almost three-year old war. “Close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead,” Trump said. Russia’s defense ministry doesn’t publish casualty estimates. Trump called for an “immediate ceasefire” followed by negotiations, adding that Zelenskyy “would like to make a deal” to end the war. While Ukraine’s government doesn’t deny it seeks peace, it has repeatedly stressed the necessity of obtaining meaningful guarantees from its allies, led by the U.S. “When we talk about an effective peace with Russia, we should first of all talk about effective guarantees of peace,” Zelenskyy said in Sunday’s X post. The war “cannot simply end with a piece of paper and a few signatures,” Zelenskyy said. “A ceasefire without guarantees can be reignited at any moment.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also responded to Trump’s social media post, repeating Moscow’s message that it’s open to talks but referring to “conditions” outlined in July by Putin. That included “taking account the realities emerging ‘on the ground,” Peskov said, at a time Russian forces have been making steady advances through parts of eastern Ukraine. The updated fatality estimate from Zelenskyy implies that about 12,000 service members have died since February, when Ukraine’s leader officially estimated the death toll at 31,000. In an interview with Japan’s Kyodo News published on Dec. 1, Zelenskyy denied reports that as many as 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed. The Wall Street Journal reported the figure in September, citing sources it didn’t identify. (With assistance from Áine Quinn.) ©2024 Bloomberg L.P. Visit bloomberg.com.
