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.

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.

Eddie Hearn's roster of UFC fighters appears to have a new addition in the form of Paulo Costa. The former middleweight ***** le challenger is set to join Matchroom Talent Agency alongside reigning heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and Ian Machado Garry.
The Brazilian recently revealed that he has parted ways with longtime manager Tiki Ghosn and is now ready to start a new chapter. During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Costa revealed that he is set to begin a new managerial partnership with Hearn.
Costa revealed that Hearn sent him the contract a few days before his UFC 332 controversy erupted. He also confirmed that Hearn will handle both his sponsorships and managerial duties moving forward.
He said, "Yes, both! The whole thing. I have too much respect for what he's doing. He's a great guy, a great professional. I think we're going to do great things together."
Costa added, "He's a super important person in the fight business. Not only in MMA, but not only in boxing, but he's coming to MMA right now. I think this is a great acquisition for the MMA community."

Ahead of the Indianapolis Colts' Week 1 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has revealed the team's plan at linebacker.
According to Jake Arthur of Roundtable Sports, Anarumo said that the Colts will probably go with Akeem Davis-Gaither and Jaylon Carlies to start, although that could change during the week of practices.
Anarumo added that this is a position that will be rotated and the evaluation will be ongoing.
#colts DC Lou Anarumo said they'll probably roll first with Akeem Davis-Gaither and Jaylon Carlies at linebacker, but they're going to keep evaluating all week. Linebacker will be a rotation that they'll always be evaluating.
Davis-Gaither being one of the starters does not come as a surprise. As this position was rotated heavily throughout training camp, Davis-Gaither seemed to become one of the constants at the position.

The NASCAR Cup Series began the Chase on Sunday night, and it was a thrilling show. Christopher Bell and the No. 20 team for Joe Gibbs Racing won at Darlington Raceway, earning their first victory of the 2026 Cup Series season. Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin struggled after damage, shrinking his championship lead.
Leaving Darlington, Hamlin only holds a 12-point advantage over Bell for the lead in the Chase. There are nine races remaining, so there is plenty of time; however, it wasn't an ideal start for the No. 1 seed. For Bell, it was a much-needed victory in the 2026 Southern 500 at Darlington.
Check out the Chase standings for the Cup Series with nine races left in 2026!
No. 11 Denny Hamlin: +12
No. 20 Christopher Bell: -12

On the NBC broadcast, it looked like Michigan's Hail Mary attempt against Western Michigan resulted in an incompletion and the clock hitting zero. However, after review, a second was added back on the clock, and Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to JJ Buchanan on the Wolverines' second Hail Mary attempt to win the game 13-12.
After the game, Western Michigan head coach Lance Taylor shared his perspective. Taylor thought the game was won.
"I know when I looked up at the clock, it was past zeros before we touched it," Taylor said. "I knew that they would review it; it was the last play of the game. Because we defended it so well, I wasn't worried or concerned about our guys going out and defending it a second time. Unfortunately, we did not defend it as well the second time."
After Taylor's comments, the Big Ten released a statement and video explaining the decision to put a second back on, which allowed for a final play.
The commissioner of the MAC then released a statement that agreed with the Big Ten's explanation.

The San Francisco Giants notched a feel-good 5-4 win in extra-innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night at PNC Park.
The win ought to put a better taste in the team's mouth after Tuesday's loss in which they erased a five-run deficit in the eighth, but were walked off in the bottom of the ninth when Rafael Devers couldn't snag a tricky throw across the diamond from Osleivis Basabe.
Here are takeaways from the Giants' win:
Bryce Eldridge fastballs:
With his grandmother watching him play at the big league level for the first time - several days after his grandfather passed away - Eldridge delivered the go-ahead run with an RBI double smacked the other way in the 10th inning.

Plans for Mansfield Town to expand its football academy have been given the go-ahead.
The planning applications committee at Mansfield District Council has approved an application from Mansfield Town Developments to build new facilities at the Radford & Hymas training site in Woburn Lane, Pleasley.
According to planning documents, the proposal comprises of an indoor pitch, an outdoor pitch with lighting, a gym building, and two new car parks.
A report prepared for the council meeting said the scheme would deliver "material benefits" through investment in sports infrastructure.
Mansfield Town opened the Radford & Hymas training facility in 2016, and in 2023 the club bought more land nearby from Nottinghamshire County Council to expand onto.

With six high school football playoff divisions in the CIAC, the margin between reaching the postseason and being left out can be razor thin.
Sometimes, that margin starts with the schedule.
Over the years, we've seen very good teams draw difficult slates, finish around .500 and wind up on the outside of the CIAC playoffs. We've also seen teams benefit from more manageable schedules that provide a greater margin for error.
That doesn't mean a playoff berth is handed to anyone. It just means some roads are considerably tougher than others.
Not all schedules are created equally, so GametimeCT's Will Aldam and Pete Paguaga took a look at five teams that could be hurt by difficult schedules and five that should benefit from more favorable ones.

The Baltimore Ravens already have enough established talent to construct one of the NFL's best secondaries. Chandler Rivers could be the player who raises the unit's ceiling even higher. Rivers is not expected to replace Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins, Kyle Hamilton or Malaki Starks in the starting lineup. The fifth-round rookie can still become an important part of Baltimore's defense by providing dependable coverage when the Ravens use additional defensive backs.
According to Pro Football Hall of Fame International Ambassador Steve Flack, citing Pro Football Focus, Rivers has played 40 coverage snaps during the preseason. He has been targeted six times, allowing two receptions and a 42.4 passer rating.
The sample remains small, but the early efficiency as a pro is difficult to ignore.

Rivers has stayed connected to receivers through their routes, closed quickly at the catch point, and demonstrated the physicality required to finish plays and potentially carve out a role. He also allowed only six receiving yards on five targets during Baltimore's preseason victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

It turns out the Seattle Seahawks secondary is even more banged up than first realized.
After a weekend in which the team lost rookie safety Bud Clark to a broken ankle, it's also been revealed that another safety is currently out of commission, albeit on a shorter timeline. ESPN's Brady Henderson reported on Sunday night that Rodney Thomas II, brought in as a free agent signing from the Indianapolis Colts, recently underwent surgery for a fractured hand.
One note on the Seahawks' safety depth in light of Bud Clark going down tonight: I'm told Rodney Thomas II had surgery this past week to repair a fracture in his hand. That's why he's not playing tonight. Sounds like he has a chance to play next week.
"Yeah, he has a hand [injury], and we'll see if and when he's coming back on time," Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said after Sunday's loss to the Tennessee ******* ans.
Without Clark and Thomas, the Seahawks relied heavily on a three-safety rotation of A.J. Finley, D'Anthony Bell, and Maxen Hook to get through Week 2 of preseason.

Atlético drew 0-0 with Internacional this Saturday (22) at Beira-Rio, in the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship.
With a heavily changed lineup, and away from Belo Horizonte, Galo earned another important point in the competition.
The result extended Galo's unbeaten run to 11 matches. The team was coming off a draw with Bragantino in the Copa Sudamericana, a result that secured qualification for the quarterfinals, and now it also keeps the streak alive in the Brasileirão.
With an eye on the derby against Cruzeiro in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, head coach Eduardo Domínguez opted for an alternative lineup. Names that have been important throughout the season were rested, while players with fewer minutes were given an opportunity.
Among the new faces was Fred, who made his debut in the Galo shirt. The midfielder came on in the second half and took part in the closing stages of the match.
