He's such a big player for us in so many different ways - his versatility, his attitude, his quality,

Aleksander Barkov had knee surgery on Friday and will be lost to the Florida Panthers indefinitely. Barkov is set to miss the entirety of the 2025-26 regular season and the 2026 Olympics in Italy. Let's cross our fingers that Florida's captain will somehow be able to be back for the playoffs, but with the time frame for his return set at 7-9 months, it's not looking good.

Cleveland Browns starting offensive tackle Dawand Jones suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers that will require surgery, coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday. Jones suffered the injury on the fourth play from scrimmage after a defender dove into his legs. Stefanski said the team would turn in the play to the NFL for review. League rules prohibit defenders from initiating a block below the waist against an offensive player who is outside the tight end box.

For the Toronto Blue Jays, things haven't gone too well ever since Bo Bichette went down with a knee injury in the series against the New York Yankees over two weeks ago. The Blue Jays have struggled without their star shortstop, going just 7-6 in his absence. In particular, the Jays' offense has gone cold this past week, with only 11 runs scored in their past six games while trying to desperately clinch a postseason berth.

"When I was just getting off the ball, I wasn't expecting for him to cut-block me like that," said Robinson, who spent a few minutes down on the ground as he held his left knee. "Once I felt his helmet hit my knee, I kind of thought another thing, but once the trainers came out on the field and I realized I was good, it took everything off my back. I was just honestly ready to get back in the game."

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright was back at the team's Thursday practice, going through drills for the first time in the three weeks since his knee injury.

Wisconsin quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. is unlikely to play at No. 19. Alabama on Saturday, sources told ESPN. Edwards is expected to travel with the team and plans to warm up for the game, per sources, but he still faces long odds to play this week.

By giving Lucas a new deal, the Seahawks are making a bet on the health of his surgically repaired knee and a rare reinvestment in one of the key pieces of their offensive line. Lucas, 26, flashed dominance as a rookie in 2022 after the Seahawks drafted him in the third round. But he's been limited to 13 games over the past two seasons

Alcaraz suffered an injury scare during a second-set wobble but, following a medical timeout, was able to emerge a 6-2 6-4 6-0 victor over Darderi. The Spaniard started impressively with a break of serve in the second game of the opening set, and quickly claimed the early advantage in just 29 minutes. After leading 4-1 in the second, Alcaraz was broken by Darderi for the first time and was pulled into a tight battle, during which he appeared to land awkwardly after a serve.

It's bad news. He will be out at least until the international break.

Ohtani got hit on his right knee by a 93 mph line drive off the bat of Colorado's Orlando Arcia in the fourth, causing him to limp and grimace in pain. After a mound visit from manager Dave Roberts and team medical personnel, Ohtani stayed in the game and got the last two outs of the inning, with the Dodgers trailing 5-0 at the time.

Havertz, who came on as a substitute in Arsenal's win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, did not take part in an open training session at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday morning. It is not clear exactly when the 26-year-old picked up the injury but it is understood that Arsenal are concerned that he could be absent for an extended period,
