The U.S. Coast Guard on Sunday suspended the search for six people in a medical jet that went missing near Nantucket, Massachusetts, a day after debris from the plane was found.
Search and rescue crews operated for approximately 66 hours to locate four Canadians and two Bermudian nationals on the plane that was traveling to Boston from Bermuda early Saturday morning, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Canadian-registered air ambulance jet had four crew members and two passengers aboard. Their next of kin have been notified, the Coast Guard said.
Earlier, the Coast Guard confirmed that a debris field belonging to the missing Gulfstream G-100 was found Saturday night. The search for the missing passengers continued overnight off the coast of Nantucket, according to the Coast Guard's Northeast District, and spanned 4,445 miles before it was suspended.

Brent crude climbed above $108 a barrel on Tuesday as traders grew increasingly uncertain about when Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline would reopen, with fresh Houthi attacks on the kingdom and suspended oil loadings at its Red Sea export terminal adding to supply fears.
By 1:00 p.m. ET, Brent futures had climbed 3% to $108.88 per barrel, with U.S. West Texas Intermediate up 4.7% at $106.12. A close at those levels would mark the highest settlement for either contract in close to four months, according to Reuters. Prices have risen around 20% this month as fighting in the Persian Gulf has escalated.
According to shipping industry sources who spoke with Reuters, crude loadings at the Yanbu terminal on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast had been halted as of Tuesday. Separately, sources told Reuters that Saudi officials had notified European buyers that certain crude shipments scheduled for late September would not proceed.
Saudi Arabia shut down the East-West Pipeline after drone attacks originating from Iraq struck it last week, forcing the kingdom to halt the export route it had been using to bypass the Strait of Hormuz during the U.S.-Iran war. The pipeline can move up to 7 million barrels per day. Saudi officials have described the closure as a precautionary measure but have not provided a damage ******* sment or a timeline for resuming operations. U.K. authorities fear the pipeline may remain mostly shut for six weeks, according to Bloomberg.
Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen carried out additional strikes on Saudi Arabia on Monday. According to a spokesperson for the Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen, the group fired drones and ballistic missiles targeting the cities of Khamis Mushait, Abha, and Taif. According to Reuters, the Houthis claimed to have struck a military air base in Khamis Mushait, with their stated targets including hangars, radar installations, runway infrastructure, and stores of ammunition.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee said Wednesday that he's going to block a proposed sale of $2.8 billion in heavy weaponry to Israel over concerns that the powerful bombs may not be used in line with U.S. and international law.
Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York said he would withhold approval for the sale because of "grave, unresolved concerns" about how these munitions could be used in densely populated areas of Gaza and Lebanon by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
"The Trump administration has not provided sufficient ****** urances that these weapons will be used by the Netanyahu government in accordance with U.S. law and with appropriate protections for civilians," Meeks said in a statement. "I therefore will not clear this sale at this time."
Meeks' objections, however, will not likely affect the sale, which was informally notified to lawmakers on Tuesday. Once it is formally notified to Congress, Secretary of State Marco Rubio can bypass the normal congressional review process by making an emergency determination that the transaction is an urgent national security interest.
Rubio has done so in the past, including bypassing a normal congressional review process to approve a nearly $3 billion sale to Israel last year. The administration then approved a new series of arms sales to Israel totaling $6.67 billion in January.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is stripping tens of millions of dollars in U.S. military ******* istance from countries in Europe and the Middle East to support conservative-leaning governments in Central and South America.
The State Department on Tuesday notified Congress that it will reprogram $52 million in foreign military financing from Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia and Iraq to Panama, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Colombia, Ecuador and Peru last week and pledged to them additional support as the Trump administration has prioritized the Western Hemisphere in its foreign policy with an emphasis on combating drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
It is just the latest in a series of moves that have reduced either money or troop deployments to Europe in response to President Donald Trump's complaints about NATO allies not spending enough on their defense budgets and other matters. Both North Macedonia and Slovakia are NATO members.
But it also comes as the administration has put particular attention on the Western Hemisphere, aligning deeply with right-wing governments as Trump celebrates a renewal of the 19th century Monroe Doctrine establishing Washington's dominance in the Americas.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) represent two sides of a historical silicon transition. A September 2 report from MacRumors highlighted a key milestone: Apple notified developers that universal Mac App Store apps requiring macOS 13 or later can now drop support for Intel-based Macs. Removing Intel binary slices simplifies app development and reduces download sizes. While symbolic, the move underscores Apple's completed transition to Apple Silicon and highlights Intel's diminishing footprint within Apple's high-margin ecosystem.
Financially, Apple is faring significantly better than Intel.
For Q3 2026 (ended June 27, 2026), Apple reported record quarterly revenue of $109.4 billion, up 16% year-over-year, driven by double-digit growth across iPhone, Mac, and Services. The company's gross margin reached 50.1%, supported by a 2 percentage point favorable impact from tariff refunds. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) surged 29% year-over-year to $2.02, which included a $0.11 favorable boost from tariff refunds. Operating cash flow and active installed base both set new June quarter records.
Intel's Q2 2026 financial results (ended June 27, 2026) delivered $16.1 billion in quarterly revenue, up 25% year-over-year, marking its fastest top-line growth in over 15 years. Intel reported a GAAP net loss of $11.0 billion (GAAP EPS of -$2.16), largely driven by non-cash charges and mark-to-market adjustments. However, on a non-GAAP basis, net income reached $2.2 billion ($0.42 diluted EPS), nearly doubling consensus expectations. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 41.8% (40.4% GAAP) on strong product mix and factory yields.
Apple's bull case centers on expanding Services margins, strong ecosystem lock-in, and the potential for Apple Intelligence to drive further demand and engagement across iOS and macOS devices, supporting high-margin growth. On the other hand, Apple faces risks from elevated valuation multiples, sluggish growth in Greater China, where Q3 revenue reached $14.7 billion, and ongoing global antitrust scrutiny over App Store fees.

Scottsdale Saguaro first-year coach Butch Goncharoff insists the football season is not going to be canceled, but, for the second week in a row, the roster is so depleted with injuries that the Sabercats have canceled their upcoming game.
They were scheduled to play ALA Queen Creek on Sept. 10, but on the morning of Sept. 7, Saguaro notified Patriots head coach Rich Edwards that the Sabercats had to cancel the game.
Last week, Saguaro canceled its game against rival Scottsdale Chaparral due to a safety issue with too many players banged up from the season-opening 62-0 loss to Scottsdale Desert Mountain.
Chaparral, a 5A team, was able to replace Saguaro with 4A Tempe and beat the Buffaloes 57-0 as a running clock started late in the second quarter. Tempe accepted the game after Phoenix Carl Hayden canceled its game with the Buffaloes.
"With the game being a short week, Thursday, it was still going to be hard to get enough players back," Goncharoff said in a text message. "But we are not canceling the season."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly worried about daily school runs for their kids, Archie and Lilibet. Although the Sussexes returned to the UK on August 26, they have seemingly come back without securing taxpayer-funded security. It has understandably fueled concern for the anxious parents about their children's safety.
A close friend of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has reportedly voiced concern about daily school runs for their kids on the couple's behalf. A friend dished to The Telegraph: "It is absolutely the biggest area of concern. It creates the most dangers." Although the Sussexes returned to the UK on August 26, they have seemingly come back without securing taxpayer-funded security. It has understandably fuelled concern for the anxious parents about their children's safety.
According to the outlet, Archie and Lilibet's school has already been notified of their attendance. Not only that, teachers are already mandated to follow specific instructions. Additionally, the school is required to follow certain rules and procedures for maintaining the children's protection.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are reportedly awaiting a definite response regarding their taxpayer-funded security from the UK's Home Office. According to the outlet, the couple would like to know if they are eligible for police protection now that they are residing in Britain. Notably, the Sussexes were previously denied protection rights during visits to the UK.
Scott Hamer, a former Metropolitan Police royalty and specialist protection officer, showed his support for the Duke of Sussex. He told the outlet: "If there is a credible threat to him and his family, it should be objectively ****** sed. If there is a genuine risk, the state should provide protection. If not, that's fine, but let him know."

A.B. Quintanilla, the brother of the late "Queen of Tejano Music" Selena, is responding to the statement released by his mother Marcella Quintanilla and sister Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga — a statement that said he was making "false accusations" about his family members and damaging their reputations.
"I don't lie," A.B. wrote in his latest statement shared on Wednesday (Sept. 2). "Suzette and her lawyers were notified with the corresponding documents via certified mail and electronic mail. She was notified of a lawsuit related to her fiduciary duties, that is, her legal obligations to act with loyalty, transparency and in the best interests of those she was responsible to."
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
He continued, "She responded, but did not provide what was being requested: contracts, documentation and financial information. Those fundamental requirements were left unanswered. What she did under the excuse of using my mom for convenience. She had no idea what was really happening around her and never had any participation in anything."
A.B. says that his lawyer will speak out on Friday (Sept. 4) where "many things will be made clear."

King Charles is reportedly incensed over the fact that another entity knew of Prince Harry's UK move first. The King is reportedly "furious" after finding out that the Duke of Sussex informed the UK Home Office of his return to the country before his father. As per multiple reports, the Sussexes flew privately from California to Birmingham on August 26. Charles was reportedly made aware of the couple's plans on August 16.
King Charles is reportedly "furious" over the fact that Prince Harry notified the UK Home Office about his move before the King. As per Radar Online, Harry contacted the authorities at the Home Office earlier this month to secure some kind of protection for Meghan Markle and their children.
The King was informed only a couple of days prior to Harry and Meghan shifting back to the UK. The royal source explained that the monarch was aware that the British authorities needed to be informed first, given the Duke of Sussex's long-running concerns about security. "What angered him and made him furious was discovering that officials apparently knew something as significant as his son's return before he did," the source added.
As per the royal source, Charles deems this "extremely disappointing," especially after their July meeting at Highgrove House. The King reportedly understands this is not a casual visit. The report further highlights Harry's decision to bring his wife and children for an extended stay in Britain.
According to PEOPLE, the Sussexes intend to stay in the UK for an extended period of time. The couple will reportedly reside in a private, non-royal home while retaining their homes in Montecito and Portugal. Their children, Archie and Lilibet, have reportedly been enrolled in a prep school in the UK with staggering annual fees. The location of the family's new home and the children's school is being kept confidential.

A major age-fraud crackdown has hit Bengal cricket, with the BCCI suspending leg-spinner Rohit Yadav from domestic cricket for two years after discrepancies were found in his age-related documents.
The action comes shortly after Rohit was picked for India's Under-19 ******* ignments against Australia. The youngster had also featured in India's U-19 tour of Sri Lanka in July, where he took six wickets and helped the team secure victory in the final Test.
Rohit, who hails from Uttar Pradesh, had recently been part of India's U-19 tour of Sri Lanka in July. He claimed six wickets on the tour and played a key role in India's victory in the final Test. The spinner was subsequently selected for India's U-19 home ******* ignments against Australia, with multi-day and one-day matches scheduled to be played in Rajkot and Ahmedabad later this month. However, his selection came under scrutiny after inconsistencies were found in his age-related documents during the Sri Lanka tour.
According to the PTI report, Rohit has three birth certificates that list different years of birth - 2007, 2009 and 2010. The discrepancies make him ineligible for age-group cricket and prompted further verification of his records.
The 19-year-old, who has represented Bengal in age-group cricket, was found to have an age discrepancy of 27 months, according to the CAB. The ban is effective immediately, with all BCCI-affiliated state ******* ociations notified of the decision.
Rohit's case is part of a much wider crackdown by the CAB on age and documentation irregularities. The ******* ociation has declared 62 players ineligible for registration or transfer for competitions during the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons.
The CAB has also barred 62 other players over similar age discrepancies. Among them is former India Under-19 World Cup-winning pacer Ravi ******* ar, who played a key role in India's ******* le-winning campaign in the 2022 edition in the Caribbean.
Ravi, a left-arm pacer, made his senior debut for Bengal in 2022 but last featured for the state in 2023. His age-group records from his debut through the 2025-26 season will now be considered invalid. His age discrepancy is understood to be more than 40 months.

It's such an exciting time here at SB Nation with our launch of a brand-new, free app!
You've probably seen the links at the bottom of your screen, with availability on both iOS and Android, but I want to explain a little about why the app is going to be a daily read for you. Firstly, the home screen, which is a rolling feed of everything you tell us you want to see. We understand fans, and that being hyper-focused on just your city is what a lot of you care about, so this strips out all the extra stuff to only show you what you want to see.
Conversely, some of you like a broader picture of the entire league. Here you can follow NFL as an entire community, where we'll break down stories with national significance and importantly, allow you to find like-minded, engaged sports fans who want to talk about the big stories in football every day. Community is at the heart of this, as we bring together our vast network of team sites and national coverage all into one place.
With the app you'll see fewer ads, which everyone loves, and it's also a snappier experience that makes swiping through all your favorite team sites a breeze. Easily one of my favorite features (and one I think you'll love too) are our "Game Chats." Here you'll automatically find live chats during every single game for the teams and leagues you follow, putting you in contact with every other fan in our network. We know open threads are a favorite part of everyone's team site, and they have been seamlessly integrated into the app to make it easy to jump in, fire off some comments, and get notified when another fan has replied to you. Celebrate together, cry together, experience together — that's the best part of sports.

You've probably seen the links at the bottom of your screen, with availability on both iOS and Android, but I want to explain a little about why the app is going to be a daily read for you. Firstly, the home screen, which is a rolling feed of everything you tell us you want to see. We understand fans, and that being hyper-focused on just your city is what a lot of you care about, so this strips out all the extra stuff to only show you what you want to see.
Conversely, some of you like a broader picture of the entire league. Here you can follow NFL as an entire community, where we'll break down stories with national significance and importantly, allow you to find like-minded, engaged sports fans who want to talk about the big stories in football every day. Community is at the heart of this, as we bring together our vast network of team sites and national coverage all into one place.
With the app you'll see fewer ads, which everyone loves, and it's also a snappier experience that makes swiping through all your favorite team sites a breeze. Easily one of my favorite features (and one I think you'll love too) are our "Game Chats." Here you'll automatically find live chats during every single game for the teams and leagues you follow, putting you in contact with every other fan in our network. We know open threads are a favorite part of everyone's team site, and they have been seamlessly integrated into the app to make it easy to jump in, fire off some comments, and get notified when another fan has replied to you. Celebrate together, cry together, experience together — that's the best part of sports.

Over 11,000 people participated in the City of Austin's adult year-round sports leagues in 2024, with growth among seniors and transplants expected in 2025 and 2026. On Friday, players and team leaders in the program were notified the city is canceling its indoor leagues, including basketball and volleyball, to save $400,000.
"The approved reduction removes two recreational programming positions and **** ociated funding related to adult indoor sports operations, totaling an estimated savings of $400,000," reads a statement from the city's department. "It is one of the reductions made within Austin Parks and Recreation, and similar savings measures were approved across other General Fund departments."
According to a City of Austin Parks and Recreation presentation, the department had 1,113 team sign-ups in 2024 across all adult sports, including outdoor leagues like softball and flag football. With registration costs at $350 per team, the department generated approximately $389,550 in revenue. The city's basketball leagues have all been canceled, with refunds to teams to follow.
The department states that the changes are part of the city's ongoing budget constraints and that it is actively evaluating how adult sports opportunities can continue within department‑operated **** es. Notably, this would likely involve removing the city as operators of Austin's adult indoor sports leagues and relying on community or private organizations to preserve play.
"If these leagues go away, there's not another place that we can move and replicate what we've had for generations," said Austin resident and adult sports league participant Pete Signor to KVUE. "Most other leagues are significantly more expensive, like triple the cost, and many of them are not as skilled or more social in nature."

He joined Lille from Gent in 2024 and has made 51 Ligue 1 appearances, scoring 12 goals and providing eight ****** ists. He has also represented the Belgium national team, making five appearances for The Red Devils after passing through the youth teams.

RB Leipzig seem to be strengthening their forward line, with Christopher Nkunku also set to return to the Bundesliga on loan with an option to buy. Leipzig sold 19-year-old talented winger Yan Diomande to Real Madrid for €125 m and are building their attack wisely following the mega deal. They will be hoping these possible additions, together with new head coach Martín Demichelis, will enable them to challenge for a top-four finish.

The NFL is reviewing Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman under its Personal Conduct Policy after Georgia court records revealed that he was arrested in June on family violence and property-damage charges.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, police accused Bateman of damaging a Mercedes-Benz occupied by the mother of his child and their 3-month-old daughter during a June 3 incident in Monroe, Georgia. An arrest warrant alleged that shattered glass caused small cuts to the woman's face.
Bateman, 26, faces misdemeanor charges of family violence battery and reckless conduct, along with a felony count of first-degree criminal damage to property. His attorney, Jordan Siev, said the family situation had been "taken completely out of context for sensational reasons" and urged the public to allow the court process to play out.
The Ravens said they had been communicating directly with Bateman, notified the league and were cooperating with its review. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy subsequently told ESPN that the matter is "under review of the personal conduct policy."
Police were called at about 6 a.m. on June 3 after an earlier dispute between Bateman and the mother of his child at a shared residence in Monroe, according to court records cited by ESPN. Officers said the woman had multiple facial contusions that she attributed to that earlier confrontation.

It did not take now former Notre Dame defensive lineman Junior Tuihalamaka to make many choices this week after finding out that he is eligible to play another year to college football.
The four-year Irish contributor was notified earlier in the week that him, along with a few others could play for one last season. Tuihalamak didn't wait around at all, on Thursday entering the transfer portal and then on Friday committing to the LSU Tigers. By not having signed with an NFL team, there weren't many complications for him to make a move.
All of this happened just hours after Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman took the podium and addressed the situation. He said that due to the timings of the decision by the courts, it wouldn't be possible to bypass graduate admissions and get Tuihalamaka ready for the school year.
It's unfortunate that it happened this way, as if it were at the start of fall camp, you'd have to believe that the edge rusher would still be on the Irish's roster. Now Tuihalamaka will finish his career with the Tigers, and we'll be watching from a distance how he does in the SEC.

A US Air Force flight bound for Antarctica returned to New Zealand after a warning about "potentially hazardous" ***** e activity, according to New Zealand authorities.
A spokesperson for New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said the agency was aware the US Air Force flight from Christchurch turned around following a warning it issued, known as a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen).
The ***** e activity was notified to the agency by Russia's State Air Traffic Management Corporation, "resulting in the issuance of a NOTAM advising pilots of the hazard," CAA said in a statement Tuesday.
In a follow-up statement Wednesday, CAA said it was made aware by the Russian air traffic agency of a planned missile launch and "associated potential hazard to international airspace, within New Zealand's Oceanic Flight Information Region (FIR)," a 30-million-square-kilometer area which is one of the largest airspaces in the world.
CNN has reached out to the US Air Force, the US Antarctic Program and the Russian State Air Traffic Management Corporation.

Hayden Panettiere's ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson's brother Zach reportedly found the actress unresponsive. Brian, on the other hand, was sleeping in another room. Panettiere was reportedly found unresponsive and in cardiac arrest at an Airbnb residence in Greenville, South Carolina. An emergency medical team tried to resuscitate the actress.

As per a report by TMZ, Hayden Panettiere's ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson's brother Zach found her unresponsive. Sources with direct knowledge about the situation claimed that the Nashville star and her ex-boyfriend were inside an Airbnb rental apartment in Greenville, South Carolina.

And with no offense to you and what you're trying to do, this is private property. Please respect our privacy. I'm not going to answer anything that you ask me. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't mind just leaving us alone. I know you're just doing your job."
According to a dispatch audio acquired by PEOPLE, authorities were heard using the terms "overdose" and "cardiac arrest" at the time of the Nashville star's death.

On August 14, autoworkers at Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) learned their union had been told the company is weighing the sale of its Brampton, Ontario plant, a move Unifor tied directly to US tariffs on Canadian goods. The timing is awkward. Days earlier, Stellantis had posted a swing back to profit, which looked like the first real evidence that its turnaround plan is working. Now investors have to weigh a genuine operational rebound against a labor and trade headache tangled up in the very North American market the company is counting on.
Stellantis reported a Q2 net profit of 293 million euros, a sharp reversal from a loss of 1.87 billion euros a year earlier, while adjusted operating income more than tripled to 773 million euros. North America, the region investors watch most closely, saw market share climb to 7.4% from a flat 7%, and Ram notched its fourth straight quarter of year-over-year sales growth, up 6%, breaking a seven-year losing streak. Renewed demand for the reintroduced Hemi V8 helped drive that gain, and Stellantis is leaning further into high-margin performance vehicles to extend it.
The Ram 1500 TRX SRT, priced at $102,590 with shipping, just reached dealerships only six months after its unveiling, and a lower-priced Rumble Bee variant is coming in the lower $60,000s. SRT trims carry margins two to three times higher than standard versions, and the automaker plans eleven SRT models across Ram, Jeep, and Dodge over the next five years. Combined with two all-new and three refreshed vehicles launched in the quarter, and nine more on the way, that product cycle backs up a stated goal of pushing North American margins to 8% to 10% within five years.
Wall Street was not impressed by the Q2 print. Adjusted operating income fell short of the 914 million euro estimate, and the stock dropped nearly 10% on the news before recovering part of that loss, a sign the turnaround still has to prove itself. That skepticism looks more justified given what surfaced on August 14, when Unifor said Stellantis notified the union it may close and sell its Brampton plant, ending decades of vehicle ***** embly there. Stellantis pointed to US tariffs on Canadian goods as the driver, and Brampton would not be the first casualty.
The plant was already idled for retooling in 2024, paused again in 2025, and lost its planned Jeep Compass production to a factory in Illinois once the tariffs hit. Brampton employed 2,200 workers before closing, and Canada's government, including Industry Minister Melanie Joly's office, has been pushing Stellantis to restart it. Stellantis has also previously discussed building electric vehicles in Canada with Chinese partner Zhejiang Leapmotor, an idea Unifor has openly opposed. All of this lands just as Unifor enters new contract talks covering Brampton and two other plants, with the current agreement expiring in September.

Aug 9 (Reuters) - Taylor Farms said on Sunday it was recalling prepared food items containing jalapeños from retailers over concerns about potential salmonella contamination, a few weeks after removing lettuce from Mexico that U.S. authorities linked to the cyclospora parasite.
The California-based supplier said it had voluntarily recalled the products, including salsas and guacamole, after being notified that Coast Citrus Distributors was recalling the fresh peppers.
Taylor said in a statement it was no longer sourcing from a farmer in Sinaloa, Mexico, that was identified as the potential source of the salmonella outbreak.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said earlier this week they were investigating the salmonella outbreak, which had sickened 345 people across 27 states and led to 36 hospitalizations.
The U.S. investigation identified restaurants including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba, a Mexican-style restaurant chain, as having received jalapeños imported by Coast Citrus Distributors. Both restaurants stopped using them, while Coast Citrus recalled the remaining product and notified customers.

Dre Greenlaw is settling back into a San Francisco 49ers uniform after a turbulent detour to Denver, and the veteran linebacker didn't hold back describing just how difficult his lone season with the Broncos was.
"There were some dark moments," Greenlaw told The Athletic's Michael Silver. "It's tough, because I never got a chance to give them all I had. There's so much anger, frustration, and you just want to go out there and prove your worth to everybody, but you can't."
The circumstances behind Greenlaw's departure from San Francisco in the first place were more complicated than a simple business decision. As Greenlaw explained this offseason, he kept the 49ers informed throughout his 2025 free agency process, even as he negotiated with other teams, and head coach Kyle Shanahan asked to be notified before Greenlaw accepted a final offer. San Francisco ultimately could not match Denver's three-year deal, and the 49ers wished him well as he signed with the Broncos.
Once in Denver, Greenlaw's season unraveled. He suffered a significant quadriceps injury early in offseason work that sidelined him until Week 7, then dealt with a hamstring issue that ended his regular season. A one-game suspension for conduct following his Broncos debut added to the disruption. Greenlaw also struggled adjusting to defensive coordinator Vance Joseph's scheme, which frequently used five defenders on the line — a departure from the four-man fronts he'd grown accustomed to in San Francisco.
"I never felt like I was a part of the team because I wasn't out there," Greenlaw said. "I was always in the training room. I knew the trainers more than I knew the teammates."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Football teams often have to deal with sudden change, but perhaps the change was even more sudden for special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs.
The former Ohio State defensive coordinator was the final hire by former head coach Sherrone Moore, having ousted JB Brown at the end of the season. Coombs was in Ann Arbor for just a few days before Moore, himself, was out. Thus, his head was somewhat spinning, as he got a new job and then suddenly, the person who hired him was gone.
On Thursday, Coombs recalled the tumultuous December and how he found himself wearing maize and blue.
"It's quite a story," Coombs said. "There's a great book in there somewhere. I got hired, officially hired, on Saturday. Coach asked me if I could be up here on Sunday, which I packed my boxes and came on up and said we've got practice on Monday. We did. That was our first bowl practice. Coach was sitting in the front row. We started with a special teams meeting. I was installing things. We practiced the first day. Same thing for the second day. Then the third day, Coach got up in the middle of the meeting and left. Then we ended up having a full meeting after that. We were notified that there was going to be a change made.
"For me, I give Biff and those guys that were here a lot of credit for holding things together. They embraced me. I knew some guys in the building because the guys were here, like Dave and Phil Bromley. Those guys were here when I was bringing my high school team up here years and years ago. I knew some people. Tony is the only guy I knew on the staff. It was an incredible month. My wife would tell you that. I couldn't be more excited to have survived that and be here right now."

Tony is the only guy I knew on the staff. It was an incredible month. My wife would tell you that. I couldn't be more excited to have survived that and be here right now."
