We just want to make sure that he's good before we put him out there.”Darnold said he's “progressing” and is “slowly but surely” beginning to throw passes.

Artifacts on the HMS Terror have been well-preserved thanks to the cold water, lack of natural light, and a layer of silt. (CNN) - Researchers in Canada have released new images of a remarkably well-preserved shipwreck that will shed new light on the ill-fated 1845 Arctic expedition in which famed British explorer John Franklin died. Marc-Andr Bernier, manager of underwater archeology at Parks Canada, said the condition of the captain's cabin greatly surpasses expectations. Canada and the Inuit will jointly own the new-found artifacts from HMS Terror and HMS Erebus under a 2018 agreement. HMS Terror was spotted on the sea bed off King William Island in September 2016, and HMS Erebus was found in September 2014.
