While wearing a Seattle Seahawks jersey during a recent appearance on his 4th-and-1 podcast, Newton said the Patriots' path through these playoffs hasn't been very challenging. "The New England Patriots have had the easiest road to the Super Bowl in NFL history. Go argue with your mama," said Newton. The No. 2-seeded Patriots are one win away from appearing in Super Bowl LX after a pair of victories at Gillette Stadium over the past two weeks.

From the Premier League's elite to the soggy pitches of Sunday league, injuries are part and parcel of football - but which top-flight teams have been worst affected this season? With help from injury expert Ben Dinnery, of premierinjuries.com, external, BBC Sport examines which sides have been hit the hardest, the impact injuries can have on under-fire managers - and whether things are always as bad as they seem.

Anyway, Santander's 2025 wasn't great. A natural slow starter, Santander struggled in the first month or so, before getting hot for just under two weeks. Then, the injuries started, as he played through a hip and shoulder injury in May, ending up on the injured list. He stayed there until the final four games of the season, and was removed from their American League Championship Series roster due to a back injury.

The Bruins placed left-shot defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok on waivers on Tuesday for the purpose of sending him to Providence. The B's had claimed the 24-year-old Kolyachonok off waivers from Dallas on December 16 at a time that their blue line was hit by injuries but he got into only two games for the B's since then. Showing an eagerness to jump into the play, he nonetheless posted no points and was minus-1.

The fire began around 7:15 am at a five-story, 43-unit building at 19th and Broadway in Oakland, as KTVU reports. The address appears to be 1770 Broadway, but the fire appears to have been confined to a rear portion of the building on the 19th Street side, above Gai Noi, a Thai restaurant. The ground floor of the building is also home to Dope Era, a clothing store owned by legendary Oakland rapper Mistah F.A.B., per NBC Bay Area.

Surprise leaders Heart of Midlothian host second-top Celtic, with Rangers, third on goal difference, waiting to take advantage as they host Dundee. Former Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam, one-time Celtic and Hearts midfielder Paul Hartley and Barry McKay, who played on the wing for Hearts and Rangers, all agree it is too close to call and are relishing what is now a three-horse race.

Potentially needing to clear a roster spot for some soon-to-be healthy players, the San Jose Sharks on Sunday placed veteran defenseman Nick Leddy on waivers. Leddy, 34, is one of seven defensemen on San Jose's active roster. But the Sharks, who are already carrying the maximum 23 players, were soon going to be facing a roster crunch with defensemen Vincent Desharnais and Shakir Mukhamadullin both nearing a return from their respective injuries.

When Chris Drury made the trade last season for JT Miller to re-join the New York Rangers, the logic was simple, if mildly flawed. Miller is a fiery personality who doesn't accept losing, and the Rangers were doing plenty of losing. Additionally, Miller came at the cost of an oft-injured third line center, a bottom pair defenseman, and a first round draft pick.

Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac sanctioned a summer net spend of more than 30m as Wrexham overhauled their squad to give themselves the best possible chance of being competitive in the second tier. The options Phil Parkinson has at his disposal are continuing to improve too as players return from injury, meaning such an outlay is not needed in the winter window.

Beyond Christian Gonzalez clearing concussion protocol, the Texans already ruled out WR Nico Collins, which is a massive plus for the defense. On top of that, although it's devastating to see an injury sideline a player who brought their team this far, with a win this week, they will head to Denver for the AFC Championship game against a Bo Nix-less Broncos team. That's another major boost for their chances at a Super Bowl run.

The decision to trade for Michael Jerrell felt like throwing a water balloon on a house fire at the time, and that's essentially what it was. Jerrell was a healthy scratch nearly the entire season, minus one game against the Bills. According to PFF, he was the worst-performing Falcons offensive lineman this season, by at least 40 points. These grading systems are subjective, but that's a pretty wide margin.

It's derby day! One of the season's most anticipated fixtures, with both teams desperate for momentum and bragging rights in the city. United go into this lunchtime kick-off under new interim boss Michael Carrick, who steps into the Old Trafford dugout hoping to lift a team that has struggled for consistency. Any danger of a new manager bounce for once?

Riding a mountain bike comes with risks, and injuries are common among most riders, from minor cuts and scrapes to broken bones and more severe head trauma. But what are the common injuries from mountain biking, and what is the recovery like for the most common MTB injuries? Well, I've had most of them over the years. From the minor scrapes and bumps to the more severe head trauma, fractured bones, and ligament damage.

Toronto comes into this contest with a win in Indiana against the Pacers, where they were holding a comfortable lead pretty much the whole way until the fourth quarter, where the Pacers made the game uncomfortable for a bit, but Brandon Ingram's threes late in the fourth quarter iced the win for Toronto to secure their 25th win of the season.

The NFL defending champions were dethroned last weekend. Sorry, not sorry, Eagles fans. Half of the division winners got knocked out. The only team of the four to make last year's conference championship games to make it back in 2025 are the Buffalo Bills. Having fresh faces playing for a chance to win the Super Bowl isn't a bad thing.

Several people were injured Thursday afternoon in a multi-vehicle highway crash in Boston, according to Massachusetts State Police.
