SCHEMBECHLER PRESSER TODAY Former University of Michigan football players and others who say they were sexually abused by a now-deceased team doctor are expected to call for action by the University of Michigan's board as the legacy of the school's gridiron coach is being questioned over what he knew. The group has planned a news conference for today in Ann Arbor.

EXPIRING VACCINE DOSES Vaccines, once in high demand, are now expiring and going to waste. In Muskegon County, about 53% of the adult population is vaccinated, but fewer people are now getting the shot. The low turnout has recently forced the county to destroy 1,200 expired doses. Kent County said it has not had to order more doses in weeks due to low demand.

The White House says their goal is to establish “a stable and predictable relationship” with Russia.
