Sykes blocked a layup attempt by Kelsey Mitchell with 1:06 left in the fourth quarter and she made 3 of 4 free throws in the final minute to keep Washington in front by multiple possessions.

The rotation was real Wednesday with, who played for the Titans coach in Cincinnati, taking the first snap in one drill. When Ward isn’t in drills, he said he’s focused on formations, play calls and motions to keep learning the offense.

The rookie made a couple of nice deep throws to Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor. Ward showed he’s still a rookie with the ball hitting the ground on a snap. Veteran centeris recovering from an Achilles tendon injury that ended his first season in Tennessee after eight games.Ward also credited Levis with being among the first players to come up to him in the locker room ready to compete and work. Ward said it’s been exciting to work with someone who’s played actual NFL games.

“I’ll be able to take a little advice from him so it’s been good,” Ward said.For his part, Levis said he had plenty of time before the April draft to get used to the idea of Tennessee using the

at his position. That helped ease the shock of Ward being taken. Levis still has to deal with a new challenge of likely being the backup if Tennessee doesn’t trade him before the opener.

“Anyone who’s ever been in my situation can agree that it (stinks),” Levis said. “Just trying to do everything I can to not let it affect me. Just being just the same dude every day in the building and being here for the guys however I can and just trying to get better every day.”As Trump sees it, his tariffs would solve genuine problems. His “Liberation Day” taxes on imports would close persistent trade imbalances with other countries, with his 10% baseline tariff providing a stream of revenue to help offset the trillions of dollars in federal borrowing that would be created by his planned income tax cuts.

But when the financial markets panicked and the interest charged on U.S. debt shot up, Trump backtracked and ratcheted down many of his tariffs to 10% while negotiations began to take place.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested this had been the plan all along to force new trade negotiations. But Trump shortly undercut him by saying on the White House South Lawn that he backed down because the financial markets were getting “yippy” — a reminder that Trump’s own improvisatory and disruptive style can upend any working policy process.

Trump still has tariffs in place on autos, steel and aluminum. Those are tied to the premise that imports would create national security risks based on previous investigations under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. He could use other laws to start new investigations or temporarily impose tariffs, but the White House is more focused at the moment on challenging the court rulings.“What is unprecedented is Trump asserting authority under a 1977 statute that had never been used for tariffs, not just for targeted tariffs, but the largest tariffs since the 1930s,” said Peter Harrell, a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who served in the Biden White House. “That’s what is unprecedented and unusual.“
