The question being rightly asked was: Should Mike Vrabel bring him back for this game, wait another week, or even wait until the playoffs to unleash Williams on the Patriots' opponents? Williams suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 11 against the Jets. And that's never an easy injury to recover from. It can often take a minimum of multiple weeks or even longer.

When you play in several competitions, it's important to have several players in the same position. I'm very happy I have that. This improves all the players. We have a lot of competition. The competition between Ferran and Lewy is good for them and for the team. Lewy or Ferran are both in perfect form. We'll see who starts.

This is a management plan to optimize Zach's long-term health in consultation with the Grizzlies and medical experts,

If you take away a little bit of a disastrous start - we won one of our first seven - I've really liked the way we've played. Every team gets injuries. For us personally, going back to 2017, I don't remember - even through our Cup runs and all of that - has this happened to us. There is a lot of money sitting in the stands, but it is encouraging to see the young guys who have come in and filled the gaps for us.

When Dolphins tight end Darren Waller announced his presence in Miami in his debut with the team, he did so with two touchdowns on the national stage against the Dolphins' divisional foe they face again on Sunday. In the Sept. 29 "Monday Night Football" win over the New York Jets, Waller, after missing the first three games of the season, caught two touchdowns among his three receptions on four targets.

It was announced today that Jakob Poeltl will miss tomorrow night's action against the Brooklyn Nets for lower back injury management, an injury that has plagued the 30-year old center all season. Resting him on the first night of a back-to-back against the Brooklyn Nets will allow him to be ready for a Monday matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who sit just behind Toronto in the standings.

"I think it's about just the mindset and really how can we trust ourselves? And trust our work? And trust our coaches who have been putting this information into our heads throughout the summer? How can we execute it better? How can we be more aggressive?"

In explaining why Leafs held only an optional skate, Craig Berube says there's guys banged up who had to stay off the ice anyway so it wouldn't have been a full practice Notes there's games Friday & Saturday with an early start Saturday Felt they would get more from a meeting Craig Berube says he thinks Scott Laughton will be on the ice tomorrow (individually) After seeing how he does there. "hopefully he's back on the ice with us shortly." @BodogCA

As I said, we have to take care of him. We're not convinced he's 100% fit to play these games; they're always very tough, and looking at the games against Sevilla and others, it's not the best time for him to play again. We'll find games for him to come back, and he also has to improve in training. He's not at his best for the big games, so we have to help him improve.

"It's been bothering him the last three years," Anthopoulos said. "He said he would just grind through it and play through it and it would come and go. But in talking to Dr. Burke today, he was stunned he'd been playing the last three years with a significant tear."... "He'd been getting some treatment on his hip, swore to us he was fine," Anthopoulos said.

Liverpool's landmark signing of Alexander Isak, sealed on deadline day in a British-record move worth 125 million (rising to nearly 130 million including bonuses), was far from straightforward. Behind the scenes, the club's sports science department played a crucial role in overcoming serious fitness concerns about the Swedish striker, according to Express. Isak's injury record raised inevitable alarm bells in Merseyside.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts explained that Ohtani was scratched from his pitching start at PNC Park due to being under the weather. The initial expectation was for Ohtani to instead start at some point during the series against the Baltimore Orioles. However, Roberts has since revealed the right-hander won't pitch before the Dodgers finish their road trip this weekend. Ohtani's next start instead has been pushed back Monday, in the series opener against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium.

"He [Saka] does not need surgery," Arteta said. "It's not as bad as the previous one. He felt something, so he will be out for a couple of weeks."

Colson Montgomery wasn't sure if his deep fly had enough to get out of the park Tuesday night against the Royals. He bounced out of the batter's box after arriving late on a fastball, willing the ball to stay fair as it sailed toward the left-field corner - and he watched it bank off the foul pole like dice off the back wall of a craps table.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto has emerged as the Dodgers' ace, sporting a 2.51 ERA with 139 strikeouts across 122 innings pitched this season. His reliability has been crucial in a rotation affected by injuries.
