Four days after St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke announced plans to build an NFL stadium in Los Angeles, St. Louis on Friday unveiled a proposal for a new open-air stadium that would cost between $860 million and $985 million.

David Peacock, a former top executive at Anheuser-Busch who is leading the stadium team along with attorney Robert Blitz, told reporters at the presentation, “The Rams are our team. We believe with this kind of plan the Rams will continue to be our team.”

Blitz, who was part of the legal team that brought the Rams to St. Louis from Los Angeles in 1995, said, “We will fight for what is rightfully ours.”

No representatives of the Rams were at the announcement Friday, but the team issued a statement: “The St. Louis Rams have worked for many years with several agencies and commissions and their senior management responsible for stadium facilities in St. Louis. This includes multiple discussions with the Governor’s recently formed NFL Task Force. We received the Task Force materials shortly before the press conference. We will review them and speak with the Task Force representatives.”

The stadium plan has been in the discussion stages since 2012, when an arbitrator ruled that the Rams would be free to leave the Edward Jones Dome after the 2014 season if the now 20-year-old stadium were not among the top 25 percent of NFL facilities.

Rodgers suffered the injury to his left calf in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and briefly left the Packers’ Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions before returning to rally Green Bay to victory. It was initially reported as a strain, but it also has been reported as a slight tear.

The Bears already have interviewed Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase and Arizona Cardinals DC Todd Bowles.

—The New England Patriots signed starting safety Patrick Chung to a three-year contract extension through 2017, according to reports Friday.

Chung was New England’s 2009 second-round draft choice out of Oregon, but he was not re-signed in 2013 at the conclusion of his rookie deal. He signed a three-year contract with the Eagles, where he played for his college coach, Chip Kelly, but he was cut after one year and signed again with the Patriots.

Chung started 15 of 16 games and had seven passes defensed, one interception and 85 tackles this season.

The U.S. Coast Guard said Konrad, a fullback for the Dolphins from 1999 to 2004, was on a fishing excursion from Boca Raton to Lake Worth on Wednesday night when he fell overboard from a 36-foot boat.

Petty Officer Mark Barney of the Coast Guard told ABC News that Konrad, 38, was in the water for 10 to 12 hours.

—The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld a jury verdict of more than $12 million against Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones stemming from a strip club brawl that led to the shootings of two security guards in 2007.

In 2012, a jury awarded $11 million to paralyzed security officer Thomas Urbanski and his wife and $1.3 million to fellow security guard Aaron Cudworth.

Both were shot at the end of a fracas at a Las Vegas club during NBA All-Star Weekend in February 2007.
