He was used primarily as a blocking tight end and didnt have a catch this season.Ochi, a rookie from Stony Brook, played in two games with New York before being waived Nov. 5.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Eagles Jerseys Sale .

The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others.

After 40 years helping some of the greatest gymnasts of all time soar to Olympic gold -- from Nadia Comaneci to Mary Lou Retton to Nastia Liukin -- Martha Karolyi is ready to say goodbye. The U.S. womens national team coordinator is retiring after the 2016 Games.The five-woman group Karolyi is bringing to Rio de Janeiro -- Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez -- has the perfect going away present in mind: Gold. Lots and lots of gold. Maybe all six available, something thats never been done by one country in a single Olympiad.Its a testament to the empire Karolyi has built since taking over the program in 2001 that its not merely just hype but entirely plausible, a luxury afforded when you have the three-time reigning world champion (Biles), the defending Olympic champion (Douglas), a three-time Olympic medalist (Raisman) and the reigning uneven bars world champion (Kocian) on the roster.The gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world has grown since the Fierce Five rolled to the team gold four years ago. The chance of anyone overcoming it is akin to the odds of Michael Jordan and the original Dream Team falling in Barcelona in 1992. No one came close back then. If the Americans do what theyve done at every major international event since 2011, Karolyis final meet will be more of an extended victory lap.Some things to watch for as the rest of the world looks for a pony-tailed version of The Miracle On Ice in search of an upset:THE SIMONE SHOWThe 19-year-old Biles has spent the last three years pushing the boundaries of her sport while putting together a winning streak that is three years and counting, with no apparent end in sight. Shes won 14 world championship medals (10 of them gold) since 2013 and is poised to become the fourth straight American to win the Olympic all-around gold. The Spring, Texas, native is a mix of athleticism and daring. Her Amanar vault is the closest gymnastics gets to perfection these days, and theres a real chance she could win up to five medals on her own: team, all-around, vault, floor exercise and balance beam.ENCORE PART 1Douglas is attempting to become the first reigning all-around champion to repeat in nearly 50 years. While topping Biles seems unlikely, the 20-year-old Douglas could follow in the footsteps of Comaneci, who won the all-around in Montreal in 1976 and earned silver in Moscow in 1980. Douglas path back to the Olympics has been bumpy of late. Though she was runner-up to Biles at the 2015 world championships and capturred the American Cup in March, she struggled at times during the selection process and parted with coach Kittia Carpenter in early July.ddddddddddddENCORE PART 2Raisman was the oldest member of the Fierce Five in London while winning three medals, including gold on floor exercise. The 22-year-old (nicknamed Grandma by some of her younger teammates) heads to Rio as arguably the best gymnast on the planet not named Biles. Raisman was second to Biles at both the U.S. championships and the Olympic Trials. She credited longtime coach Mihai Brestyan and her commitment to doing 8 million routines as the key to her resurgence at a time when some American stars are well into retirement.MISSING IN ACTIONRomania, which has finished on the podium in every Olympics since 1976, failed to qualify for the team competition after struggling at the 2015 world championships last fall and slumping at the end of the Rio Test Event in April. An injury to star Larisa Lordache didnt help. The Romanians will be represented by just one gymnast, 28-year-old Catalina Ponor, who will be making her fourth Olympic appearance and serve as her countrys flag bearer during opening ceremonies.THE BRITISH ARE COMINGWhile longtime powers like Romania and Russia have slipped in recent years, Great Britains program has been on the rise. The Brits finished third in the team competition at worlds last fall, the first ever team medal at the world championships in the programs history. The core of that group: sisters Becky and Ellie Downie, Claudia Fragapane, Amy Tinkler and Ruby Harrold, will try to take an even greater step in Rio.7th HEAVENOksana Chusovitina of Uzbekistan competed in her first Olympics before most of the women she will be competing against in Brazil were born. The 41-year-old will be the oldest female gymnast in Olympic history when she appears in her seventh games. Her best chance to medal will come on vault, an event she won silver on in Beijing eight years ago.Its a pity there are no points for age, Chusovitina said.BABY SHAKIRAThe 16-year-old Hernandez is the youngest member of Team USA, yet shes hardly intimidated by the stage. Her charismatic performance on floor exercise -- where she struts to the music with the attitude of a supermodel on the runway -- earned her the nickname Baby Shakira as a junior. Hernandez calls her gymnastics sassy, though she combines with a skill level that few can match.
