Serena Williams’ online post hints at pregnancy

Is Serena Williams pregnant? It appears so.

On Wednesday morning, the tennis superstar posted a side-shot selfie of herself on Snapchat with the caption ’20 weeks.’

The post was quickly deleted – yet captured before taken down.

Williams, 35, withdrew from ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events at Indian Wells and Miami last month citing a knee injury; she won the Australian Open by beating sister Venus on Jan. 28.

“Sadly, I have to withdraw from the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and the Miami Open,” said Williams, who lives in West Palm Beach, Florida, on March 7.

FOOTBALL

NFL: Joshua Huff was allowed to enter a pretrial program after a weapons charge in New Jersey.

The wide receiver was playing for the Philadelphia Eagles when he was stopped for speeding on the New Jersey side of the Walt Whitman bridge last November.

Prosecutors said Huff won’t face jail if he successfully completes the program. His lawyer said the program lasts six months.

 Denver Broncos star Aqib Talib won’t face a suspension over the shooting in Dallas last year in which the All-Pro cornerback admitted he accidentally shot himself.

Talib received a letter from the league recently informing him he wouldn’t be suspended or fined over the shooting.

But the NFL did notify Talib he must complete a firearm safety course and supply the league with a list of all firearms he owns.
