PFL loses main event quarterfinal as Jay Jay Wilson injured ahead of Gadzhi Rabadnov fight
After suffering a broken jaw, Wilson (11-1) has withdrawn from his lightweight quarterfinal vs. Gadzhi Rabadanov (25-4-2) that was scheduled to be the main event June 20 at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan.
"Broke my jaw," Wilson posted on his Instagram Stories, along with a photos of an X-ray and himself in a hospital bed. "Unfortunately I will not be fighting June 20th but I'm good."
It's unclear what the promotion's plans are for a replacement. A lightweight alternate bout between Antonio Caruso (10-2) and Vinicius Cenci (8-3) had previously been announced for the card.
With Rabdanov vs. TBA on one side of the bracket, the other side of the bracket features Alfie Davis (18-5-1) vs. Brent Primus (16-4).
The lightweight semifinals are featured alongside the women's flyweight tournament fights.

Newcastle fans make their feelings clear on Alexander Isak transfer saga - 'Could get very dirty'
The dispute between Newcastle and its forward Alexander Isak has intensified, with the latter issuing a statement asserting that "promises have been broken" and that there is no path back into the Magpies' squad. Isak is trying to forge a move from Newcastle this month; Liverpool is the player's likely destination. And Newcastle fans in the comments section of Chronicle Live, the local newspaper in the north east of England, are livid at the player's social media conduct. Isak was absent from the crowd as he was named in the Professional Footballers' Association's Team of the Year on Tuesday, instead posting a statement via Instagram Stories alleging that Newcastle were aware of his desire for a transfer this summer, and that "promises were made." READ MORE: Alexander Isak finally breaks silence on Newcastle fallout as Liverpool transfer hangs in the balance READ MORE: Alexander Isak could use little-known FIFA rule to force Newcastle transfer exit He stated that he has "kept quiet" during the disagreement with his club, which has "allowed people to push their own version of events." The statement concludes by stating that the relationship with the club is "broken," and that "change is in the best interests of everyone." Newcastle swiftly responded on its website, denying that any such promises to allow Isak to depart this summer were ever given. The club states it has its own terms for allowing Isak to make a move elsewhere, but these have not, and are unlikely to, be met this summer. This latest development in the saga has done nothing to mend the rift between many fans and their player. "Great response from the club," wrote one Chronicle Live reader. "Isak talks of promises, but a contract is a promise to play for that amount of time for the club. Only 1 person breaking promises here." Another reader added: "The best response the club could make is to go out there, pay what ever it is that clubs want for 2 decent strikers on decent wages, and still let this lad sweat. Get it done." A third reader argued: "He still hasn't had the decency to hand in a transfer request. Liverpool need to show their intentions and put in an improved offer, meeting club valuation, or back off altogether." And another reader claimed: "This statement is from a desperate agent prompted by his desperate employer. "Both Isak and his agent appear to be naive and amateurish in their approach... This could get very dirty for both Isak and his agent, as legally, there's only one winner here. "Agents can be clever but greed can sometimes cloud their judgement. It certainly has in this instance."

Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed passes physical and is removed from PUP list
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee cornerback L'Jarius Sneed passed his physical, and the Tennessee Titans removed him from the physically unable to perform list Wednesday in time to start practicing. The two-time Super Bowl champion was part of the Titans' big offseason spending spree in March 2024, with Tennessee trading for the cornerback. Sneed played in just five games and wound up on injured reserve with a quadriceps injury. Sneed said during an offseason camp that he was as healthy as he's been. But the Titans put him on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp, with team officials saying Sneed had a cleanup of a knee in May. The Titans open the season Sept. 7 at Denver. Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson said Sneed will be day to day in his return, with the five-year veteran being eased back into practice. 'It's good to get him back out there, and he's been chomping at the bit," Wilson said before practice. "He's been doing everything in his power in the training room to get to this point,' Wilson said. 'So I'm just excited for the young man, not just the football player but him because I know the work that he's put in.' Sneed has 10 career interceptions, though he's still looking for his first with Tennessee. The Titans are counting on Sneed to start in a secondary featuring second-year cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Roger McCreary. Titans starting center Lloyd Cushenberry III passed his physical and returned from the physically unable to perform list on Aug. 11.

Simi Fehoko staking a claim to a roster spot in Cardinals receivers room
Fehoko is a newcomer to the receiver room, but there are familiar faces for him. The Arizona Cardinals currently have 16 wide receivers or tight ends on the 91-player roster and three are from Stanford — wide receivers Michael Wilson and Simi Fehoko and tight end Elijah Higgins. That total is nearly 10 percent of the 31 Stanford players currently on NFL rosters or reserve lists. Wilson was selected by the Cardinals in the third round of the 2023 draft, while Higgins was a sixth-round pick in Miami, but was cut in the roster reduction to 53 and was claimed by the Cardinals. Fehoko was drafted by the Cowboys in the fifth round in 2021, was briefly on the Steelers practice squad in 2023 before being signed by the Chargers. He became an unrestricted free agent this past March and to say his signing by the Cardinals was under the radar would be a significant understatement. Now, Fehoko has a solid chance of being on the 53-man roster thanks to his versatility and ability on special teams after scoring the game's only touchdown in Saturday's loss to the Broncos. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday that Fehoko 'made some plays on teams.' Then, Marvin Harrison Jr. sent some accolades Fehoko's way Monday when he said, 'He's been great. I think he's made everybody, especially in the route running, come back to the ball. He does a great job with that. And I asked him, 'Where'd you get that from?' He's like, 'After my rookie year, kind of something I had to develop just for me to get the separation, make the play.' 'So, I think he's definitely elevated everybody's game from certain standpoints. I think he's done a great job with that. I mean, his ball skills are tremendous and the way he can come back to the football definitely has helped me and made sure that I can take that from his game.' For his part, Fehoko is glad to be reunited with Wilson and Higgins. Asked about Wilson's growth, Fehoko said, 'I mean he's a whole different player than when I was with him in college. So, it's awesome to see, not only how his game has developed and now how he's a true threat in the league. So, super cool to see. He dealt with so much in college with all the injuries and barely played. 'He and I were freshman roommates. We came in first day together and we were roomed together, and he's always had that hard-work mentality, and it's awesome to see it finally pay off here and finally get the recognition he deserves.' As for Higgins making the transition from college wide receiver to tight end, Fehoko said, 'We always made fun of him for being a little too big in the receiver room, but now it sort of makes sense and he's doing well as a tight end.'
