LITTLE ROCK — FOOTBALL Vick, McCoy ruled out

Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick and running back LeSean McCoy have been ruled out for the Eagles’ game against Carolina on Monday night because of concussions. Coach Andy Reid announced the decisions Saturday. Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder said Vick is symptom-free, but McCoy has headaches and dizziness. Vick was injured against Dallas on Nov. 11 and didn’t play last week in the Eagles’ 31-6 loss to Washington, their sixth consecutive loss. McCoy was hurt in the fourth quarter against the Redskins. Rookies Nick Foles and Bryce Brown will start in place of Vick and McCoy. Foles will make his second career start at quarterback, and Brown his first NFL at tailback. Reid also said wide receiver Jason Avant will miss the game Monday night because of a hamstring injury, and running back Chris Polk is out with a toe injury.

The Minnesota Vikings have declared wide receiver Percy Harvin out of today’s game at Chicago because of his sprained left ankle. Harvin was listed doubtful on Friday after missing another week of practice, and the team downgraded him to out on the injury report Saturday while deciding not to take him on the trip so he can continue to rest. Harvin was hurt Nov. 4 at Seattle and missed the Nov. 11 game against Detroit. The Vikings had a bye last week. Harvin is tied for 10th in the NFL with 62 receptions. He entered the week second in the league behind Green Bay’s Randall Cobb in total yards, including receiving, rushing and returning.

BOXING Hatton loses comeback

Hatton (45-3) was back in the ring 3 1/2 years after being knocked out by Manny Pacquiao, a loss that sent the former twoweight champion into retirement and his life spiraling out control, with depression, personal problems and battles with drink and drugs. Senchenko (33-1) met Hatton two months after losing his unbeaten record - and his WBA welterweight title - in a ninth-round loss to Paulie Malignaggi.

BOXING Camacho taken off life support, dies

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Hector “Macho” Camacho died Saturday in the Puerto Rican town where he was born, a little more than three days after at least one gunman crept up to the car in a darkened parking lot and opened fire on the boxer and a friend.

No arrests and have been made, and authorities have not revealed many details beyond the facts that police found cocaine in the car and that the boxer and his friend, who was killed at the scene, had no idea the attack was coming. “Apparently, this was a surprise,” said Alex Diaz, a police spokesman.

Camacho, who was 50, remained unconscious at the Centro Medico trauma center in San Juan until Saturday, when doctors removed him from life support at his family’s direction.

The former world champion fought professionally for three decades. The fighter’s last title boutcame in 1997 against welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya, who won by unanimous decision. Camacho’s last fight was his defeat by Saul Duran in May 2010. He had a career record of 79-6-3.

Drug, alcohol and other problems trailed Camacho after the prime of his boxing career. He was sentenced in 2007 to seven years in prison for the burglary of a computer store in Mississippi. While arresting him on the burglary charge in January 2005, police also found the drug ecstasy.

A judge eventually suspended all but one year of the sentence and gave Camacho probation. He wound up serving two weeks in jail, though, after violating that probation.

Camacho’s former wife, Amy, obtained a restraining order against him in 1998, alleging he threatened her and one of their children. The couple, who had two children at the time, later divorced.
