The Women's World Cup could be staged every two years, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said Friday.

The competition is currently held every four years, with the United States lifting the trophy in 2015 and again this July in France.

Infantino said he is keen on a proposal from the French federation to double the frequency of the Women's World Cup because of its "incredible impact for the development of the game" compared to club soccer.

"We need to see what kind of big events we can create," Infantino said, "so we are studying this, of course."

FIFA has already decided to expand the Women's World Cup from 24 to 32 teams in 2023.

The host of that tournament will be decided in June by the FIFA Council. FIFA has received bids from Brazil, Japan, Colombia and a joint entry from Australia and New Zealand.

A couple of weeks into this season, fresh off a combined 198 points over the past two Premier League campaigns: I wrote the following words: "The natural order of things is a City win; anything else is an aberration." Well, four months later, there have been plenty of aberrations. Six of 'em, in fact, as City are sporting an 11-2-4 record through 17 league matches. Not only are they 14 points behind first-place Liverpool, but they're four points back of their opponent this weekend, second-place Leicester City, whose best player (Riyad Mahrez) they purchased a little over a year ago.

After averaging a league-record 2.63 points per match in 2017-18 and then 2.58 points per match, Pep Guardiola and Co. have dropped down to a comparatively pathetic 2.06-point-per-game haul.

So: is this the new normal? Are cats and dogs actually supposed to live with each other? Or are the first 17 games of the season just a finicky branch stuck in the gears, a minor impediment that eventually gets crunched by the inevitability of the Manchester machine?

To answer those questions, let's take a look at what's gone wrong.

Injuries

Who knew? It turns out that even a team with impossible depth and a near-endless well of sovereign-wealth-fund resources can succumb to the frailties of the human body.

The first one came in August, when Leroy Sane tore his ACL in a glorified exhibition game against the team that's currently in first place. The 23-year-old German started only 21 league games and didn't even reach 2,000 league minutes last year, but he was absolutely devastating when he played. Among players featured for at least half of their team's Premier League minutes, Sane was second in the league in non-penalty goals+assists per 90 minutes (0.96) behind his City teammate, Sergio Aguero (0.98).

Speaking of Aguero... he has been out since the end of November with a thigh injury. The 31-year-old Argentine has been as good as ever when he has played, but he's only started seven league matches. On a per-minute basis, Aguero and Sane were the two most productive attacking players in the league last season; combined, they've played 813 league minutes this year. No team -- not even one with Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, David Silva, Bernardo Silva... [deep breath] ... Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden -- can lose that much offensive firepower without experiencing at least a minor drop off.

At the other end of the field, well yeah, about that...

A Lack of Defenders

There were two constants to Man City's second title in a row in 2018-19: Ederson and Aymeric Laporte. Their keeper played every single minute in the Premier League. He has missed one game due to injury this season, and of course, it came in the team's toughest fixture of the season -- away at Anfield. Perhaps not coincidentally, Liverpool scored with three of their five shots on target en route to a 3-1 victory.

Laporte, meanwhile, played more minutes than any outfield player for City last season, starting 34 matches and breaking the 3,000-minute barrier. He led the team in passes completed into the final-third, per the site FBRef. While he was on the field, City's goal differential was plus-67, a mark matched by only one other non-keeper in the league: Player of the Year winner Virgil van Dijk. Yet while Liverpool have had van Dijk for all but five league minutes this season, Laporte has played only four games thanks to a knee injury suffered at the end of August. He'll be out until at least the New Year.

Despite all the injuries across the squad, City's attack really hasn't declined. The team is averaging a ridiculous 2.76 goals per match, better than last year's mark of 2.5 and just slightly below the rate of Centurions (2.79). The bigger issue has been the defense, which has conceded 19 goals. That might not seem like much -- it's tied for the fourth-best mark in the league -- but it's also just four fewer than City allowed all of last season.

By the end of the 2018-19 campaign, Vincent Kompany was Guardiola's preferred first-choice partner for Laporte, but he's now player-manager at Anderlecht in Belgium, the club where he began his career. After letting their captain leave, City then decided not to replace him. Their two big summer acquisitions were Rodri, a defensive midfielder, and Joao Cancelo, a full-back. Cancelo has only started four matches and while Rodri has started 13, he's openly spoken about his struggles with the "dark art" of tactical fouling that Guardiola requires from his defensive midfielders.

The plan, it seems, was for Rodri to take over for the previously ageless Fernandinho, who would become an option as the non-Laporte center-back alongside Nicolas Otamendi and/or John Stones. It was a gamble, both in expecting a new player to seamlessly replace a uniquely important Premier League great and for said Premier League great to seamlessly become an elite center-back, and it hasn't quite worked out. City are still allowing a league-low number of shots (7.41 per 90 minutes), but the lack of resistance in the middle of the field has made it easier for opponents to turn those limited opportunities into high-quality looks at goal. Last season, per TruMedia data, City allowed 0.119 expected goals per shot, the ninth-lowest number in the league. This year, it's up to 0.128: the eighth-worst mark in England.

Bad Luck

Despite all of the above, the biggest reason that City aren't higher in the table is this: Soccer is an extremely low-event game that is prone to wild swings of variance over a small stretch of time. Yeah!

Per FBRef, City have the best expected-goal differential in the league and, well, they might as well be in their own league based on the gap. Guardiola's team is producing an xG differential of plus-1.59 per match, with second-best Liverpool all the way down at plus-0.89. City are leading the league in expected goals for and in expected goals conceded. Hell, their xG differential is actually slightly better than it was in either of the previous two seasons, even with all of the key injuries and a consistently makeshift backline.

At its core, the point of soccer is to create better chances than your opponent. That's all you can really control and Guardiola's team is controlling that balance better than they have in any of his previous, record-breaking seasons with the club.

Thought that you saw them get dominated by Manchester United or run off the field by Liverpool? Don't buy the idea that the underlying quality of the team is as good as it's ever been? Well, the models and the markets do. FiveThirtyEight's ranking system rates City as the best team in the world. The betting markets still see City as the front-runners to win the Champions League despite a tough last-16 draw against Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid.

Now City certainly need some reinforcements for the backline and the club is going to have to replace the likes of Aguero, David Silva, Kyle Walker, Otamendi, and presumably Fernandinho at some point over the next few seasons as they all age into their 30s. But as long as Guardiola hangs around and the core of this team remains intact, it should only be a matter of time until we return to equilibrium and City start churning out wins with that familiar, frightening and mechanical ease.

Eighteen months ago, Mikel Arteta came within a whisker of becoming Arsenal's first manager of the post-Arsene Wenger Era. That story has been told many times: he interviewed well, impressed the board and had many of the qualities the club were looking for. But the job eventually went to Unai Emery, who had just been released from his gig at Paris Saint-Germain.

Why? Because as multiple Arsenal sources put it at the time, Emery was a safe pair of hands and Arteta was a gamble. The upside with Arteta was so great that it might have been a gamble worth taking, but the club also felt that this wasn't the time to roll the dice.

Wenger's departure after 23 seasons was traumatic enough. Ivan Gazidis, the club's then-chief executive, had hired Sven Mislintat in a recruitment role and Raul Sanllehi as director of football. It was felt their differing outlooks and experiences would bring the right creative tension to the club, further driving them forward into the new era. But equally, both had just landed on Planet Arsenal. Throwing a 36-year-old with zero managerial experience who had retired barely two years earlier into the mix at this stage was an unknown quantity too far as the club saw it.

- Mikel Arteta confirmed as Arsenal manager

We have the benefit of hindsight here, so we know what happened next. Arteta stayed at Manchester City as part of Pep Guardiola's staff. Mislintat was never a cultural fit at the club and departed the following February: he's now Director of Football at Stuttgart. In a move which surprised many, Gazidis resigned his post to become chief executive at Milan in November, Sanlllehi was promoted to the role of Head of Football and Emery was fired last month.

So where does this leave us? Arteta was a gamble then and -- unless you believe those 18 months at Guardiola's side have been transformational -- he's still a gamble now. What's different compared to the summer of 2018 is the environment at the club. Sanllehi has an extra 18 months under his belt in the Premier League. Edu, who arrived in July at technical director, isn't Mislintat. As so often happens when a big boss (Gazidis) departs, those left behind can distance themselves from previous mistakes, which is what happened with Emery to some degree. Except they can't do that now. They'll have to own Arteta, for better or for worse.

Four-hundred words in and you won't have read anything about whether Arteta is any good, or even what he might try to do with this Arsenal side. That's because we don't know. We have very little to go on other than words, impressions and deductions. Arteta has managed one game in his career, a defeat to Lyon in September 2018 when Guardiola was suspended. That tells you zero. We can, however, infer.

Arteta is a guy with the right bloodlines and pedigree. If you believe in cross-pollination, the fact that he grew up with Xabi Alonso, one of the most intelligent footballers around, matters. So too does the fact that Guardiola picked him as an assistant to help him navigate his Premier League debut, the minute he retired in 2016. Clever, successful people tend to want to have clever, successful people around them.

What matters more in understanding a globalised game is his resume. From Barcelona's La Masia to PSG to Rangers, to his hometown club of Real Sociedad to Everton and finally, to Arsenal. That's a cosmopolitan career not just in terms of leagues but also types of clubs, from title contenders to mid-table wannabes. Then there's the identity thing. He spent five years at Arsenal: he gets both the Wenger Era and what came next. The importance here is perhaps less clear, but to fans and to the club (at least as a marketing tool) it appears to be a priority and it's no coincidence that they're now stocked with former Gunners, including Edu, Freddy Ljungberg and Per Mertesacker.

The assumption -- though this is purely down to where he has spent the last three-and-a-half years -- is that he'll implement some kind of Guardiola-inspired football, a combination of the possession, pressing and verticality. If so, it won't happen overnight.

Folks seem to forget that even Guardiola required time to put his stamp on Manchester City. He spent much of his first season in fourth place before sneaking up to third in late spring, and this was at a free-spending club that had finished first or second in four of the previous five seasons. Not only that, but Manchester City had spent a long time preparing for his arrival, beginning to overhaul the club (witness the hiring of Ferran Soriano as chief executive and Txiki Begiristain as director of football) well before Guardiola committed to them.

In short, Guardiola had (almost) everything he needed from day one, including a gaggle of exceptional players who had already won silverware in England, plus executives above him who were willing to bend over backwards for him. That's not the situation Arteta walks into. Arsenal have finished outside the top four for three straight seasons and may well make it four in a row this year (they're currently 10th). Sanllehi and his team have the trust of the owners for now, but everything will be reviewed in the spring, particularly in light of the summer transfer debacle.

A big chunk of the wage bill is tied up in four attacking players aged between 28 and 31: Alexandre Lacazette, Henrikh Mkhitaryan (currently on loan at Roma), Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. None of them, certainly not at this stage of the careers, seem a natural fit for a Guardiola-style approach. When it comes to central defenders, most are either in their 30s (David Luiz, Sokratis Papastathopoulos), perpetually injured (Rob Holding), not very good or some combination of the above. Monetizing any of the aforementioned would be extremely difficult, which means Arsenal are likely to have to operate on a relative shoestring, at least compared to the moves City made when Guardiola arrived.

All this points to the fact that patience will be required. Arsenal likely won't be able to wheel and deal their way out of this: they will need to make the right bets on the right players and hope they come off. They will face some huge decisions on what to do with some of their veterans. Logic suggests several don't belong as part of a rebuilding project. Equally, it takes guts (and a lot of faith) to swallow salaries (as they did this season with Mkhitaryan) and sacrifice short-term results for long-term growth.

There is a ton that Arteta won't be able to control at this club. He will have to put his faith in Edu and Sanllehi to guide him on the recruitment side and hope they come through. He will have to trust that the Kroenkes are willing to take a long-term view even if it costs them in the short-term.

Crucial throughout this, in addition to the relationships he fosters with those around him, will be his messaging. He's a thoughtful, charismatic communicator (and an evident upgrade over Emery in that department, though that's not saying much) and he will, on a weekly basis, have to sell his bosses, the players and the fans on the strength and vision of his project. In the short-term, that will be his biggest impact. The football itself will, you hope, come after that.

We have no real idea what it will like. But then we too need to make that leap of faith. Just like Arteta.

England 337 for 5 (Denly 103, Pope 70*, Burns 56) v South Africa A

Joe Denly rose above the sickness that has swept through the England camp, and cemented his No. 3 credentials with a well-crafted century on the opening day of the team's final warm-up match in Benoni.

Denly was eventually run out for 103 from 192 balls, a solid innings featuring 15 fours and one that built on his steady displays in the New Zealand Tests last month. On his watch, England closed the first day on 337 for 5 - a decent work-out for a threadbare squad that has been gutted by a stomach bug in this past week.

Denly's innings did not, however, count as his 30th first-class hundred, as the match had been downgraded to a friendly to allow England's stricken players more time to recover - in particular Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad and Jack Leach, all of whom stayed back at the team hotel instead of travelling to Benoni.

It was, however, a chanceless display - Denly did not benefit from any of the four dropped catches that littered South Africa A's fielding - and it showed tenacity too, as he was one of the many players who had been struggling going into the day's play.

"I don't think I've had it quite as bad as some of the boys, just a mild case of man-flu, so I'm alright now," said Denly at the close. "It was quite a sapping heat out there today so I was a bit tired by the end, but I've loaded up on medication and vitamins and I feel alright now."

England chose to bat first and were given a solid start to their day's work when Rory Burns and Dom Sibley added 60 for the first wicket inside the first 20 overs. But the introduction of Andile Phehlukwayo broke the stand, as Sibley was bowled by his fourth ball of the day for 22.

Burns brought up a measured half-century shortly before lunch, but he was prised out by the second ball after the resumption, as Phehlukwayo found his outside edge on 56, for Kyle Verreyne to take a fine diving catch, one-handed to his left.

Joe Root didn't hang around for long - he was the next to fall for 12, one ball after being dropped on the slog-sweep off Dane Piedt, as Nandre Burger found his outside edge for Reeza Hendricks to cling on at slip.

But Ben Stokes gained some useful time in the middle in a third-wicket stand of 82, although he too had a lucky let-off when he top-edged a bouncer to fine leg on 46. One run later, however, he took on Lutho Sipamla with a big mow down the ground, but failed to clear Dane Piedt at long-off.

His departure at 207 for 4 gave Ollie Pope a chance to spend some useful time in the middle, and he didn't disappoint, showing impressive fluency in reaching 70 not out from 87 balls by the close, with Jos Buttler alongside him on 16.

Despite the reduced status of the match, Denly's innings was his first century in England colours, a feat which didn't go unnoticed, although he was simply pleased to be in a decent vein of form leading up to the Boxing Day Test.

"It's nice to get that first one, obviously it's not a Test match, but a hundred's a hundred and in the couple of games I've played I've managed to spend some time at the crease, so I feel good," he said. "There wasn't too much seam movement for the bowlers and it was a slow wicket too so I took a bit of time to get used to the pace of the ball, but once you got in it was nice to play on."

Asked about the likelihood of England's ill bowlers featuring at any stage of the match, Denly said that he would have to defer to the team's medical staff, but remained optimistic that they'll be fit and ready for Boxing Day.

"I suppose it's not ideal for those guys not to have taken part, but hopefully they've rested up well," he said. "They've all played enough cricket to hopefully come back stronger over the next few days. They are on the mend, getting better each day, so we'll see."

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has suspended five players, a coach, and two franchise owners in relation to the KPL corruption saga that was unearthed earlier this year.

In a media release on Friday, KSCA said that CM Gautam, Abrar Kazi, M Viswanathan, Nishant Shekhawat, and coach Vinu Prasad were all prohibited from participating in KSCA activities. They have also been barred from using the association's facilities.

A fifth player, Bhavesh Gulecha, who had reported bookie approaches to the police, was also suspended for not keeping KSCA officials informed of an illegal approach.

The communication comes a day after it was reported that KSCA secretary Santosh Menon's residence was raided in connection with the spot-fixing case. Sandeep Patil, joint commissioner of the Central Crime Branch (CCB), told ESPNcricinfo that Menon had been called in for questioning.

Menon is not the first member from the KSCA administration to be called in for questioning by the CCB. Earlier in December, Sudhindra Shinde, a member of the association's managing committee, had been arrested for his alleged involvement in "match-fixing". At the time, Roger Binny, KSCA's newly elected president, called the KPL corruption scandal an "unfortunate turn of events".

Shinde has not been suspended, but the KSCA has directed him not to attend any meeting of the managing committee "nor participate in any cricket related activities organised by the KSCA".

The 2020 edition of the KPL had been put on hold until the completion of the investigation, after several links to corruption had emerged across the board when investigations opened.

At the forefront of this investigation was Belagavi Panthers franchise owner Asfak Ali Thara, who had been arrested for allegedly betting on the tournament. He has been suspended, alongside "Mrs. Asfak Ali Thara", who is the co-owner.

"In case they are found guilty, their franchise will be terminated," the release said. "The decisions taken by the KSCA regarding on [sic] the above players and others will be reconsidered only after the investigation is complete. In case any of them are found guilty, appropriate and stringent action will be taken immediately."

Sourav Ganguly had said after his first annual general meeting (AGM) as BCCI president that the board had to "get the anti-corruption systems right" and would set up anti-corruption systems that would be assessed next year for effectiveness. The Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) is another state league that has been under the scanner this year, and had suspended two franchises, according to Ganguly.

It may not immediately look like it but the situation in South African cricket is steadily improving, so much so that captain Faf du Plessis is upbeat ahead of the four-Test series against England that starts on Boxing Day. On the third day of the team's training camp in Pretoria, du Plessis acknowledged that even though his squad has not had the ideal length of preparation, the addition of experienced former internationals has lent gravitas to a set-up that was knowledge-deficient.

"Where we are as cricketers in South Africa is the most optimistic we have been in a while," du Plessis said. "There were a lot of challenges the last six months. We hadn't played our best cricket as a team but there had been a lot of stuff happening off the field.

"For me, that's the most promising thing where we are right now. We are not as prepared as we would have liked to be as a Test team but I think for now, what's more important is the things that have changed in the last two weeks. Cricketers in SA and the public have got a lot of optimism about the team. It was really important that we focused on getting the right people in the right places and I feel that has happened. I feel we have got a very good coaching and management staff right now."

Du Plessis blamed the dearth of experience for some of South Africa's failings in India, where they were whitewashed 3-0 in their first outing since the retirements of Dale Steyn and Hashim Amla. Half of the top six in the batting line-up (Aiden Markram, Theunis de Bruyn, and Quinton de Kock) had never played a series in India before, neither had two of the four frontline quicks (Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi) or the premier spinner (Keshav Maharaj) and their coach, Enoch Nkwe, was on his first assignment with the team after only one season as a franchise coach.

While du Plessis was careful not to pin the poor performance on Nkwe alone, he also emphasised how important a more experienced coaching group is for South Africa now.

"In the Test team, when it comes to not having the experience that you need in the players - if you don't have that - you need to substitute it with experienced people in management and I feel we have done that very well," du Plessis said. "When we went to India, I felt it was very tough on Enoch to go on that tour and be judged in India. Even if you are the best coach, you will struggle to go to India and do well so that was a really tough gig on him."

Nkwe is now the assistant to Mark Boucher, with a view to being groomed for the main job in the future, something du Plessis called "exciting", especially given what Boucher has brought to the dressing room in a short space of time. After an international career that spanned 15 years and a successful stint coaching the Titans for the last three years, Boucher has a wealth of knowledge to share. Both he and batting consultant Jacques Kallis, who played internationally for 18 years and has coached at the IPL, have already started upskilling the players, just through talking.

"The last two days have been exceptional in terms of hearing the conversations that's taking place between us, talking in a batting group with Boucher and Kallis. It's unbelievable conversations that haven't happened for a while and the reason why it hasn't happened is because we did have experience in our team, especially in the India series. Post the India tour we needed experience.

"The last two days have been hugely positive for me to see that, even though we are not getting the time in the middle, we are getting very specific practice. Jacques Kallis is talking to batters about how they are batting, what they're looking for, what is a bowler trying to do, how they are putting together their first 20 balls - those things are absolute gold for young players to grow and even for myself. It's been unbelievable just talking to people like that. Their cricket brains are exceptional. You just feed off it the whole time."

All that means South Africa have not had as much time in the middle as they would have liked, especially after spending the last six weeks involved in a T20 tournament. Most of the current squad have not played any red-ball cricket in more than a month, with some, like du Plessis and the bulk of the bowlers, having not played any since India. While that is a concern for du Plessis, he said it was just one of those things the squad will have to work around.

"In an ideal world, we would have definitely liked to play a four-day game," he said. "There is no substitute for four-day cricket, especially before a Test series and especially after a T20 campaign. We would have liked our bowlers to be Test match ready and that means workloads.

"All best Test bowling units bowl at their best when they have bowled a lot of overs. Look at all the great bowlers. Dale [Steyn] and Morne [Morkel] were no different. All of them needed to bowl a lot of overs and then they were at their best. We are not in a position where we can have that. But yesterday was a massive workload day for the bowlers. That's the most we have ever bowled at practice as a Test team. We can only do what we can and I thought we did it well yesterday."

Instead, South Africa are going to rely on their new-found positivity to galvanise themselves ahead of Boxing Day, with du Plessis hopeful they have seen the worst of the administration and things will only get better. "I was hoping that we would get to this stage but I didn't expect it. And then when things started unfolding, the way I saw it was that things needed to get real bad before it can better. It might sound bad, but it needed to get worse to get better so I am happy that process unfolded to get us where we are today."

Quarterback Daniel Jones will start for the New York Giants on Sunday against the Washington Redskins, coach Pat Shurmur said Friday.

Jones missed the past two games with a high ankle sprain suffered against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13.

Eli Manning started in Jones' place, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in overtime in Week 14 and getting a win against the Miami Dolphins the next week.

Jones, the sixth overall pick in this year's draft, has thrown for 2,374 yards, with 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

After giving an impassioned speech about his hometown while accepting the Heisman Trophy, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow will have his high school football stadium in Athens, Ohio, named after him.

The Athens City School District Board of Education announced Thursday it has directed its superintendent and the Athens High School administration to change the name to Joe Burrow Stadium in recognition of his achievements.

Burrow was voted Ohio Mr. Football for 2014-15 and Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year in 2013-14 and 2014-15 before starting his career at Ohio State. After serving as a backup for three years, he moved to LSU as a grad transfer and started the last two seasons.

His career took off this season, throwing for 4,715 yards and 48 touchdown passes en route to winning the Heisman Trophy with the most first-place votes in its history.

"Coming from southeast Ohio, it's a very impoverished area and the poverty rate is almost two times the national average," Burrow said in his speech after accepting the Heisman. "There's so many people there that don't have a lot, and I'm up here for all those kids in Athens and Athens County that go home to not a lot of food on the table, hungry after school. You guys can be up here, too."

A fundraising campaign that began after the speech has raised over $400,000 for the Athens County Food Bank, in addition to thousands of dollars donated to the Athens High School Boosters and other area government and non-profit support agencies.

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers safety Kameron Kelly was arrested outside a bar in Pittsburgh's South Side early Friday morning on two counts of making terroristic threats and one count of resisting arrest.

According to court paperwork, police say Kelly was being disorderly at Mario's South Side Saloon. When an officer told Kelly he had to leave, he became confrontational.

Per the complaint, Kelly had already threatened to knock out an employee at the bar after his music choice was skipped on the jukebox.

Outside the bar, according to the complaint, the arresting officer accidentally stepped on the foot of a woman, who then began arguing. Kelly said the woman was "his girl" and pushed his chest against the officer's and threatened him, according to the complaint.

Kelly then resisted arrest, arguing with officers, and an officer punched Kelly in the face multiple times during the struggle, according to the complaint. Kelly was treated at a Pittsburgh hospital for a split lip and was then taken to the Allegheny County Jail.

The Steelers have not commented on Kelly's arrest.

In Pennsylvania, the crime of terroristic threat is committed if a person communicates, either directly or indirectly, a threat to: commit a crime of violence with intent to terrorize another; cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly or facility of public transportation; or otherwise cause serious public inconvenience, or cause terror or serious public inconvenience with reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience.

Kelly, a San Diego State product, started and played every snap of a Week 1 loss to the New England Patriots and was the starter at free safety after Sean Davis' shoulder injury. After the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade following Week 2, Kelly primarily became a special-teams player and hasn't played any defensive snaps since getting one against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11.

His last significant defensive outing came against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6, when he played 26 snaps. Kelly has 17 tackles and one interception this season.

An MRI result for the left foot of Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward came back clean, coach Brad Stevens told reporters Friday.

Hayward will not play in Boston's game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday, but Stevens said the injury isn't a long-term concern.

Hayward, 29, missed Wednesday's victory over the Dallas Mavericks because of soreness in the foot.

Stevens said Wednesday that Hayward has been dealing with lingering foot soreness since before injuring his hand in November.

Hayward is averaging 17.5 points and 4.1 assists this season.
