RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins will not play this season because of a back injury, coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday. The Seahawks re-signed Hankins to a one-year, $2.115 million deal in May, bringing him back for a second season in Seattle and his 13th season in the NFL. But he landed on the Non-Football Injury List in July, and there had been no signs of late that he was nearing a return to practice. Macdonald declined to reveal whether Hankins, 33, had back surgery, saying, "I'll probably just leave it private right now with what's going on with his health, but he won't be with us this year."

Santander was initially taken out of the lineup before Game 4 with back issues, before Bannon reported the news. In speaking with the media, Blue Jays manager John Schneider was pressed on the potential shuffle, but was mum on the matter, simply replying, "We'll see." Per Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith, the Blue Jays are expected to know in a couple of hours what MLB's verdict is. Schneider also stated that Santander felt his back pain after the game and into the morning.

Barcelona has temporarily stripped goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen of the captaincy over his refusal to sign a medical report about his back injury.
