FOXBORO — It’s anyone’s guess what the Patriots’ offensive line will look like Sunday night against the Dolphins. Players in the locker room Friday said even they didn’t know who would be starting.The Patriots listed left tackle Trent Brown (concussion), left guard Cole Strange (knee), right guard Mike Onwenu (ankle) and rookie Sidy Sow (concussion) as questionable heading into Sunday night’s matchup with the Dolphins, though center David Andrews (hamstring) was removed from the injury report and should be good to start in Week 2.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots-Dolphins injury report: Mac Jones has 4 OL questionable for Sunday Night Football New England Patriots | Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster addresses knee health, Week 1 playing time New England Patriots | Patriots Christian Gonzalez now takes on even more important role vs. Dolphins New England Patriots | Dolphins’ Tyr...The auto workers strike will drive up car prices, but not right away — unless consumers panic

DALLAS (AP) — Car shoppers are heading for a new round of sticker shock if the strike by the United Auto Workers doesn’t end soon, particularly for popular vehicles that are already in short supply.The number of vehicles on dealer lots will shrink the longer the walkout goes on. Dealers are likely to lose incentives that the manufacturers pay them to boost sales by cutting prices. And consumers might make things worse with panic-buying.Many analysts think it will take several weeks before dealer lots start to look a bit empty. Ford, General Motors and Stellantis built up inventories of vehicles ahead of Thursday night’s strike, and the UAW decided to limit the walkout to just three plants – at least for now.“Guys at the dealerships are going to tell you, ‘The UAW this and that,’ but their lots are full of cars now,” says Ivan Drury, the director of insights at Edmunds, a provider of information about the auto industry. He estimates that at current inventory levels and the pace of ve...Man charged with attempted murder in connection to Brampton shooting

ISTANBUL (AP) — President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that Turkey may part ways with the European Union, implying that the country is thinking about ending its bid to join the 27-nation bloc.“The EU is making efforts to sever ties with Turkey,” he told reporters before departing for the 78th U.N. General Assembly in New York.“We will evaluate the situation, and if needed we will part ways with the EU.”He was responding to a question about a recent report adopted by the European Parliament, which stated “the accession process cannot resume under the current circumstances, and calls on EU to explore ‘a parallel and realistic framework’ for EU-Türkiye relations.”Turkey applied to join the European Union in 1999, and accession talks began in 2005. Accession negotiations were frozen in 2018 because of “democratic backsliding,” according to the European Parliament.Erdogan’s statement on Saturday came more than a week after Turkey’s foreign minister affirmed his country’...14-year-old boy fatally shot near Hillcrest HS ID'd: Police
