The NFL is reviewing whether the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles violated tampering policies during the legal tampering window, a league spokesman said Thursday.

The Falcons agreed to a contract with four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins shortly after teams were permitted to start negotiating with unrestricted free agents on Monday.

The Eagles quickly struck a deal with two-time Pro Bowl running back Saquon Barkley soon after the negotiation period opened at 12 p.m. EDT.

Teams are permitted to talk directly with agents during the 52-hour negotiating window, but can’t speak to the player unless he has no agent and represents himself.

JANNICK SINNER STAYS UNDEFEATED

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) — Jannik Sinner has defeated Jiri Lehecka to reach the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open and is now 16-0 this year.

Sinner’s streak includes the Australian Open title he won in January.

The Italian is 19-0 overall dating to last year’s Davis Cup. He’s won 21 of his last 22 sets.

On the women’s side, top-ranked Iga Swiatek advanced to the semifinals Thursday for the third straight year when Caroline Wozniacki retired with a foot issue.

Swiatek was leading at the time after rallying from a 1-4 deficit in the first set against the former world No. 1 who is making a comeback after retiring for 3 1/2 years.
