Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) suffered fractured wrist in the Week 1 game against the Indianapolis Colts, and he is expected to miss several weeks.
Lane was to have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, and a timetable would then be set for his return. Test results are still pending. He managed one reception for 11 yards on three targets before he was knocked from the game.
SOURCE: RavensWire - Glenn Erby
Why it Matters: With Lane sidelined, and Zay Flowers leaving the game early due to a hamstring injury, the Ravens were down to Rashod Bateman, Chris Moore and LaJohntay Wester as the only healthy receivers Sunday. Devontez Walker was sidelined due to a groin injury, but he could play in Week 2, and rookie fourth-round pick Elijah Sarratt is also a possibility. He was a healthy inactive.

It was a nail biter, but the San Diego Padres came away from it with a seven-game win streak and back-to-back sweeps for the third time this season. It was a great game to cap off the sweep. Ethan Salas finally notched his first big-league hit with a triple in Oracle Park, Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-4 with two RBI and Manny Machado launched his 27th home run of the season.
The Friars will now turn to the Colorado Rockies to round out their penultimate road trip of the 2026 season. It's a four-game set in the hitter-friendly environs of Coors Field. With the way the Padres have been swinging their bats lately (37 runs in their last six games; 6.2 runs per game), they should have no problem keeping the good vibes rolling.
Sugano has been surprisingly good in the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. That said, he's still pitched to a 5.30 ERA. But that number goes down to 4.96 at home compared to 5.64 away. It's an interesting split to have when Colorado is known for being a hitter's dream.
The righty has been particularly awful recently. In his last seven starts, Sugano has pitched to a 7.71 ERA across 35 innings pitched. In his last three starts, he's surrendered a whopping 14 runs (16.0 IP). If San Diego's recently potent lineup can take advantage of that, they would be well on their way to their eighth straight win.
Since joining the Padres, it's no secret that Mize has struggled. He's posted a dismal 6.34 ERA in his first seven games. Much of that is believed to be due to a groin injury that Mize has been pitching through. It was reported earlier this week that that injury was the reason many scouts decided against Mize, lowering his trade stock.

Arsenal made it four wins from four in the Premier League with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats played a gritty, physical game, but the Gunners gave as good as they got, and battled to the win. With a massive ***** ist from David Raya saving a, uh, generously awarded penalty that would have made it 1-0 for the bad guys. Minutes later, Bruno Guimaraes put one top bins. Raya made another brilliant save later in the half. Deep in added time, Bruno put Bukayo Saka in on goal, earning a penalty and second yellow to Reinildo. Penalty converted. Game over.
The Sunderland crowd greeted Bruno with a chorus of boos when he replaced Myles Lewis-Skelly at halftime. They take their rivalry with Newcastle seriously. Unfortunately, it was very much a "keep booing, it only makes me stronger" moment. You could see from the little smile on Bruno's face that he was loving it and using it to fuel him. His "I can't hear you" celebration to the crowd after he'd put one on postage stamp was absolute perfection.
Great call from Mikel Arteta to pull Myles Lewis-Skelly at the break. Everything was off from him — poor touches, cheap fouls — it simply wasn't his night. The manager also had to swap Jurrien Timber for Ben White, who appeared to have tweaked his groin. Because when ***** nal get one right back healthy, the other gets injured. That's how it works. Timber was excellent, by the way.
The ***** nal subs that came on later in the second half, Eze, Merino, and Zubimendi, were mediocre to poor. The depth is tremendous but Mikel Arteta has his work cut out for him to keep everyone sharp so that when they are called into action they don't, say, give the ball away the only two times they get on it like Merino did today.
The Gunners could have and should have been ahead at halftime, but once again, they were profligate with scoring chances. Bukayo Saka was caught in two minds on a leaping volley and only managed glancing contact. Kai Havertz shot over the bar from in close. The German striker also forced a smart save with a brilliant control, turn, and volley move. Saka also flubbed two chances in the second half — he picked the wrong pass on a 4-on-2 break and he shot too close to the keeper. The side could do with a bit better finishing, but if you believe (as I generally do) that finishing ebbs and flows, as long as they keep generated the volume of chances, someone is in for a real hiding.

As Detroit's 2026 regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 13 against New Orleans nears, the Lions listed just one player with an injury designation on their Friday injury report.
Defensive back Christian Izien was listed as questionable after being a limited participant for the third straight day with his groin injury.
"He's doing well. We felt really good about him. He's close. I want to see what he looks like running around today and then knowing that we're going on a short week after this, that'll have a bearing on it, too. But, he's moving around really well. I feel like he's a little ahead of schedule in a good way. We'll see," Campbell said of Izien's injury status on Friday morning.
Izien, 26, signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Lions in March.
Unfortunately for Izien, three consecutive limited practices puts him behind the eight-ball in terms of being elevated to active on Sunday. The Lions' Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills is Thursday, Sept. 17. With that short turnaround, if Izien misses the opener, he could miss each of the Lions' first two games of 2026.

The Detroit Lions will enter Week 1 with only one player carrying an injury designation for Sunday's opener against the New Orleans Saints.
Defensive back Christian Izien is questionable with a groin injury after being limited throughout the week. Everyone else listed on Detroit's final report finished Friday as a full participant and carries no game-status designation.
That includes rookie edge rusher Derrick Moore and defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo, who both progressed from limited participation Wednesday and Thursday to full participation Friday. Detroit's official final Week 1 injury report leaves Izien as the only legitimate availability question heading into the weekend.
That is a considerably cleaner injury picture than Detroit faced during much of training camp.
Moore's progression is particularly encouraging.

NEW YORK — Breece Hall had never dealt with a groin injury.
So when he strained his right groin during an Aug. 17 practice, the Jets' star running back admits he "freaked out."
Three weeks later, Hall is healthy, practicing fully and expecting to play in Sunday's season opener against the **** ans.
"It was actually a very good two-week vacation," Hall said Thursday. "I could have been out there a little earlier, but the team thankfully was very cautious with me.
"It was a good vacation, and I feel really fresh now."

Rangers news: Jacob deGrom's strong start ends with concerning injury update appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Texas Rangers star pitcher Jacob deGrom pitched well on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. However, he was removed after throwing 92 pitches through six innings, a decision that Rangers manager Skip Schumaker later said was due to an injury concern, via Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.
"Skip Schumaker said that Jacob deGrom was dealing with groin tightness through much of his start today. That's what the mound visit was about in the sixth and that's also why he didn't come back out for the seventh," Landry reported.
deGrom was indeed terrific while on the mound despite battling groin tightness throughout the outing. The veteran right-hander struck out 12 Mariners through six innings while allowing no runs and only one hit. Disaster struck following deGrom's departure from the contest, as Jakob Junis allowed four runs. The Rangers were defeated 4-3, a loss that dealt a blow to a team that is competing for a postseason spot.

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 10.
SOURCE: Commanders.com
Why It Matters: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Croskey-Merritt will be cleared to play in Week 1. He should see a majority of the carries if he plays and can be at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

In one of the first deviations from John Harbaugh's usual approach, the Baltimore Ravens did not hold a full practice Thursday, but their estimated injury report included an encouraging development ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Wide receiver Zay Flowers was listed as a full participant after being listed as a limited participant Wednesday because of a hamstring injury. The upgrade places him on track to play barring a setback during the remainder of the week.
Because Baltimore held a walkthrough, Thursday's participation levels projected how much work each player would handle during a traditional practice. Linebacker Teddye Buchanan was listed as a limited participant for the second consecutive day because of a knee injury. Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike was also listed as a limited participant again with a neck injury.
We held a walkthrough on Thursday; our report is a practice estimation. pic.twitter.com/ZUyydo6ZlW
Madubuike's availability will be particularly important against Jonathan Taylor and the Colts' powerful rushing attack. The defensive tackle missed the final 15 games of the 2025 season, making his progression one of Baltimore's most significant Week 1 storylines. Wide receiver Devontez Walker was listed as a limited participant for the second consecutive day with a groin injury. His status could affect Baltimore's receiving rotation and special teams plans.

Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze continued to deal with a calf injury at Thursday's practice.
The Bears listed Odunze as a limited participant for the second straight day. Odunze was injured during practice last week and was called day-to-day by head coach Ben Johnson earlier this week.
Safety Xavier Woods (groin) was added to the report as a limited participant. Left tackle Ozzy Trapilo (knee) was limited for the second straight day.
The status of all three players for Sunday's game against the Packers will be updated when injury designations are determined on Friday. The same is true for quarterback Tyson Bagent (back), who has not practiced at all this week.

I feel like I spend half of my hours dreaming about the San Francisco offense these days. Of course, I spend the other half sweating in a panic.
This is life with fantasy football's most boom/bust depth chart. And we have plenty to be nervous about as the 49ers get ready for their Thursday night opener against the Rams, coming live from Australia, with several stars on the injury report.
Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season
The perks with San Francisco are obvious. Kyle Shanahan is a brilliant coach, Brock Purdy a plus quarterback and Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Mike Evans all look like Hall of Famers. Of course those last three vets are all back-nine players, too — McCaffrey enters his age-30 season, while it's an age-33 lap for Kittle and Evans.
Injury concerns come standard with all three. Kittle tore his Achilles in January. Evans was a limited player all summer, managing a groin injury. It's possible Kittle will have a slow open to the season, and Evans also has to be handled carefully, though I suspect he'll at least repay this summer draft cost.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is making good progress in his recovery, according to head coach Sean McVay.
SOURCE: Sarah Barshop - ESPN
Why It Matters: Nacua missed a good part of the preseason because of the injury, so fantasy players will need to check on his practice participation leading up to the Week 1 game. He is one of the best receivers in the NFL and will be a starting option in all fantasy leagues if he is cleared to play.

Rangers are aiming to string together consecutive victories in the Scottish Premiership as they head to Falkirk for a Wednesday night fixture.
Currently sitting seventh in the table with four points, Rangers have displayed inconsistent performances across their various competitions. Their league record so far stands at one win, one draw, and one loss, with their most recent result being a gritty 1-0 triumph against Aberdeen. That domestic upturn comes after a painful exit from Europe, where they were eliminated from the UEFA Conference League play-offs by Czech outfit FK Jablonec in a penalty shoot-out.
The Gers arrive in better physical condition overall, although manager Derek McInnes still has to contend with several long-term absentees and off-field complications.
Forward Youssef Chermiti continues to be unavailable as he works his way back from a severe cruciate ligament injury.
Left-back Tuur Rommens is also expected to be sidelined for several weeks because of an ongoing groin issue, while midfielder Jose Cifuentes remains out after undergoing a recent operation.

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday, according to a source on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
SOURCE: Ben Standig
Huddle Up: Croskey-Merritt hasn't been rushed back with his groin injury since the initial reporting of the injury last week. With Croskey-Merritt's return to practice on Tuesday, it looks like he's on track for Week 1. In a muddy Washington backfield that also features free-agent signee Rachaad White and rookie Kaytron Allen, Croskey-Merritt is likely to get the first crack at the early-down work for the Commanders. Consider JCM a nice value in drafts before the double-digit rounds as an RB3 on fantasy rosters.

Aston Villa host **** nal at Villa Park on Monday looking to respond after a 4-0 opening-weekend defeat at Brighton, a result that left Unai Emery's side without a point or a shot on target.
The visit of the champions arrives amid significant summer turnover at Villa Park, with several new signings in line to feature for the first time.
Leon Bailey, Amadou Onana (knee), Johan Manzambi (knee) and Brian Madjo (ankle/foot) are all unavailable, and Joao Gomes is suspended. Tammy Abraham is a doubt with a groin/hip issue. Ollie Watkins departed the club this summer, adding to the selection questions facing Emery in attack.
Zion Suzuki, a £30 million signing from Parma, is expected to make his Villa debut in goal after Marco Bizot started the defeat at Brighton. Leon Goretzka, who joined the club on Thursday, is set to come straight into midfield in place of the suspended Gomes, partnering Boubacar Kamara. Nicolas Jackson is also in line for his first involvement, leading the line in Watkins' absence, with John McGinn, Emiliano Buendía and George Hemmings providing support behind him.
Aston Villa possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Cash, Lindelöf, Torres, Maatsen; Kamara, Goretzka; McGinn, Buendía, Hemmings; Jackson

Arsenal travel to Villa Park on Monday looking to continue a perfect start to the season, having won the Community Shield and beaten Coventry City 3-0 in their Premier League opener without conceding.
Mikel Arteta's side could become the first in the club's 140-year history to win five consecutive opening away fixtures of a Premier League season.
Jurrien Timber remains out with a groin issue, and William Saliba is a long-term absentee with a back problem. Bruno Guimaraes has a minor groin issue of his own but Arteta has not ruled him out of contention. New signing Ezri Konsa, who joined this summer from Villa, is available to face his former club but is expected to start on the bench given ******* nal's settled defensive pairing.
David Raya is set to continue in goal behind a back four of Ben White, Gabriel Magalhães, Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori. Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard are expected to anchor midfield, with Martín Zubimendi the likely third member of the trio ahead of Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis, both of whom Arteta has used in wide areas that double as auxiliary full-back cover, are set to support Kai Havertz in attack, with both players having scored or contributed directly to goals in the win over Coventry.

Mikel Arteta's side could become the first in the club's 140-year history to win five consecutive opening away fixtures of a Premier League season.
Jurrien Timber remains out with a groin issue, and William Saliba is a long-term absentee with a back problem.

Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso will reportedly make a trio of changes to his starting lineup when they host Genoa on Sunday, including two compulsory ones.
The Biancocelesti began their Serie A campaign with an away victory in Bologna thanks to Davide Frattesi's solitary strike. The Italian midfielder came off the bench to replace the injured Fisayo Dele-Bashiru. The manager also had to make another compulsory change during the match, bring in Romano Floriani Mussolini for Adam Marusic.
With both players expected to remain on the sidelines for at least 20 days, Frattesi and Floriani Mussolini will be making their first starts of the season. The Inter Milan loanee will join Kenneth Taylor and Nicolo in the midfield trio, while Floriani Mussolini will slot in at right-back, with the rest of the defence remaining intact with Danilo Doekhi, Oliver Provstgaard, and Alfonso Pedraza.
In attack, Sky Sport Italia and La Lazio Siamo Noi expect a third change to take place, with Gustav Isaksen dropping Matteo Cancellieri to the bench. The Dane missed the entire pre-season while recovering from groin surgery, but made his return in the second half at the Renato Dall'Ara and was considered an upgrade on his Italian teammate.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship touched down again at the SPDBank Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai, China, for an excitingevent.
In the UFC Shanghai headliner, UmarNurmagomedov and Yadong Songlocked horns in an exciting 135-pound tilt with **** le implications.In the co-main event, UFC strawweight veteran Xiaonan Yancollided with up-and-comer DeniseGomes. The event saw 10 fights end inside the distance, withmost by knockout.
Here's a list of possible matchups for the main card winners.
The UFC Shanghai main event ended with a huge upset as Song(24-9-1, 1 NC; 13-4-1 UFC) starched former 135-pound **** lechallenger Nurmagomedov (20-2, 8-2 UFC). Song clipped his foe witha well-timed punch right on the ear, immediately dropping him.The two follow-up punches turned Nurmagomedov's lights out, and theofficial end came at the 1:48 mark of Round 2. With the currentdivisional **** leholder Petr Yan andNo. 1 challenger MerabDvalishvili already set to lock horns in October, the logicalmatchup for Song seems to be a rematch with Sean O'Malley. "Suga"impressed in his outing at UFC White House, and the "Kung Fu Kid"looks mature enough to overcome his rival, and possibly not leaveit in the judges' hands this time. In their first encounter,O'Malley took home a unanimous decision victory.
In the co-feature, Gomes (13-3, 7-2 UFC) crushed Yan (19-6, 1 NC;9-5 UFC) in an intriguing clash in the women's strawweightdivision. Gomes landed a vicious elbow to her opponent's face before following up withmore punches, forcing the halt at 4:49 of Round 1. A surgingcontender in the women's strawweight division, the Brazilian is nowriding a five-bout winning streak and is 7-1 in her most recentassignments. A few interesting names are climbing the rankings at115 pounds, so it might be time to see who's the next big thing ina clash with AlexiaThainara. "Burguesinha" is currently riding an impressive13-bout winning streak. The winner of this clash might be next fora dance with the current divisional queen, MackenzieDern.
It took a little more than a round for Kai Asakura(23-6, 2-2 UFC) to stop onetime Wu Lin Feng **** leholder Qileng Aori(26-14, 1 NC; 4-6, 1 NC UFC) with a praiseworthy sequence started by a head kick followed by punches and punctuated by someknees to the body. The official end came 34 seconds into Round2. Asakura has scored back-to-back wins now, and it's time for theformer Rizin Fighting Federation 135-pound **** leholder to step upin competition. ViniciusOliveira is currently looking for a fight, coming off a winover Andre Fili inJune. Neither Asakura nor Oliveira backs down when it comes totrading blows, and the outcome could be a treat fortechnical-striking fans.
In a 125-pound attraction, Su Mudaerji(20-7, 1 NC; 7-4, 1 NC UFC) finally managed to overcome Alex Perez(26-11, 1 NC; 8-7, 1 NC UFC). The first time the pair met in theOctagon, it ended in no contest following an accidental groin shot.This time, Mudaerji relied on sharper strikes and so

Newcastle United travel to North London on Saturday still searching for their first league win of the season, having twice led at home to Liverpool before a stoppage-time penalty earned the visitors a point. Matthias Jaissle's side backed that performance up with a 3-2 Carabao Cup win over West Bromwich Albion in midweek.
Newly-appointed captain Dan Burn remains out with ankle ligament damage, and Joelinton (groin) and Tino Livramento (calf) are also sidelined. William Osula is still nursing a foot injury and remains unavailable. New signing Bazoumana Toure scored against West Brom despite "feeling a bit of pain" during that match and is expected to be fit for Saturday.
Nico Gonzalez, unveiled to supporters as a £50 million signing from Manchester City before the West Brom win, could be handed his Newcastle debut, though that would likely mean either Lewis Miley or fellow new arrival Sean Steur making way.
Anthony Elanga, who opened the scoring against Liverpool, is expected to be preferred to Jacob Murphy on the right, while Harvey Barnes, who scored twice against West Brom, and Toure compete for the left-wing spot.
With Osula still unavailable, Nick Woltemade is set to retain his place in attack alongside Yoane Wissa. Amar Dedic, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall are expected to form the back four in front of Lukas Horníček, who has taken over as Newcastle's goalkeeper for the time being.

Crystal Palace face an immediate test of Pierre Sage's credentials on Friday, with Manchester City heading to Selhurst Park for the new Eagles boss's first home Premier League fixture.
Sage has inherited a squad that is largely available, although injuries and off field issues have complicated his selection. Ismaila Sarr remains sidelined with a groin problem, while Chadi Riad is unavailable because of a knee injury. Jean-Philippe Mateta also remains a notable selection, given his ongoing legal dispute with the club over his contract.
There is little reason to expect Sage to make wholesale changes for such a demanding fixture. Dean Henderson should retain his place in goal, with Palace expected to line up with three centre backs in front of him.
Jaydee Canvot, Chris Richards and Takehiro Tomiyasu are the likely defensive trio. It gives Sage a combination of physicality, mobility and experience, qualities that will be required against a Manchester City attack capable of stretching a defence in several different ways.
Daniel Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell should operate as wing backs. Their role could prove particularly important, because Palace will need to offer an attacking outlet while remaining disciplined when City have possession.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler tweeted that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans and the team are preparing as if he's going to suit up in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Evans missed practice this week with a groin injury. Kyle Shanahan said he expected Evans to be back for next week's practice. Fowler confirmed that Evans' latest injury is minor, like the other ones he's sustained this month. Not that there was any doubt, but Evans' groin injury does not sound serious.
If the regular season is anything like training camp and the preseason, Evans could be a mainstay on the injury report. He may be listed as questionable and never miss a game, but this could be the norm.
Evans figures to be a massive part of the 49ers' offense. Kyle Shanahan has a run-first mentality, but Evans is the type of player who could turn his head coach into the pass-happy type. Adding Evans to the offense benefits everybody involved. The running game, the receivers, the running backs, and most importantly, Brock Purdy.

The Arizona Cardinals made two more roster moves on Tuesday. On Monday, they cleared the roster of four players and added two, leaving two vacancies. They filled them on Tuesday.
They signed punter Jack Browning and safety Josh Minkins.
Browning had tryouts with the Cardinals before training camp began and last year in October.
Browning punted and handled kickoff duties for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024 for five games. Last played in the UFL for the Orlando Storm. He averaged 48.5 yards per punt and had 11 punts downed inside the 20 in 11 games.
He will handle punting duties this week in the team's joint practice with the Green Bay Packers and their preseason finale against the Packers on Friday, as Blake Gillikin is out with a groin injury.

Injury woes are continuing to haunt veteran 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans as the beginning of the regular season approaches.
Reports from NBS Sports reporter Matt Maiocco indicate that Evans is currently suffering from a groin injury and is missing practice on Tuesday after leaving practice early twice over the past week. Evans has not made any appearances during preseason action for the 49ers since joining the franchise this past offseason, after spending 12 seasons with the Buccaneers.
Injuries have been adding up for Evans in recent years, with him missing three games in 2024 due to hamstring issues before missing the most action of his career due to injury in 2025. He suffered both hamstring and clavicle injuries at different points of the season last year and would only play in eight games for the Buccaneers.
There is no doubt Evans can likely still play at a high level, as he posted his 11th-consecutive 1,000-yard season in the league in 2024, just two seasons ago. And after signing a three-year deal with San Francisco this offseason, it's clear he has designs on extending his career for a few more years. But with injuries adding up in recent seasons, questions are arising about his longevity.

The San Francisco 49ers were back on the practice fields at their SAP Performance Facility on Tuesday, but they were without one of their top players.
According to those on the scene, wide receiver Mike Evans didn't participate in Tuesday's session after dealing with a quad injury for most of camp and then leaving Sunday's practice after running a deep route. However, NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco reported that Evans is now dealing with a groin issue.
Evans can still be one of the most productive wide receivers in the league, especially in this offense, but injuries have held him back in recent years. Both the team and player hope that he will be full go once the regular season starts.
Brock Purdy's top wide receivers to target a practice are dwindling, as Christian Kirk and Jacob Cowing are also not participating. This leaves Purdy with Deebo Samuel, De'Zhaun Stribling, Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Watkins as the top healthy options right now.
