Shedeur Sanders suffers shock injury as he battles to win Cleveland Browns quarterback role
Sanders is competing for a roster spot in a crowded quarterback competition with the Browns, with any setback costing the fifth-round draft pick important time in front of the coaching staff.
Sanders looked to have an inside track to one of the valued spots on Cleveland's 53-man roster after starting the team's first preseason game, throwing for two touchdowns and no interceptions.
The Colorado alumnus was previously dealing with an arm injury but appeared in full health before Wednesday's setback, which occurred early in practice, per ESPN.
Sanders is competing for a roster spot alongside Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, fellow rookie Dillion Gabriel, and Tyler Huntley.
The team is likely to only keep three quarterbacks on its active roster, with Flacco nearly guaranteed one of those spots.

Baseball star carted off in tears after suffering heartbreaking injury in first game back after three months out
Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya suffered more heartbreak on Wednesday night as he was carted off the field - just eight innings into his return from injury. The Panamanian, 26, was playing his first game in three months after recovering from a left oblique strain. 'Thank God (I'm) healthy,' Amaya said on Tuesday. But at the top of the eighth in Chicago's game against Toronto on Wednesday, he took a brutal fall as he crossed first base. Amaya flew into the air and landed heavily on the ground. He stayed down and required immediate medical treatment. Chicago trainers eventually lifted Amaya on to a cart and he was driven off the field with a towel over his face. The 26-year-old was only activated from the injured list on Tuesday - having been sidelined since May 25 - but 24 hours later, Cubs manager Craig Counsell had more bad news. Miguel Amaya landed awkwardly on first base and was carted off the field. — Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) August 14, 2025 'You knew something was pretty seriously wrong pretty quickly,' Counsell said after the game. The manager revealed that X-rays did not show a fracture but Amaya's ankle is 'swollen up pretty good already.' Counsell added: 'It's an IL. It's bad luck, unfortunately, and we're going to miss him.' Rookie right-hander Cade Horton said of Amaya: 'Prayers to him. He's a special player, a great teammate... I hate to see what happened to him.' The third-year catcher has hit .281 with four home runs and 25 RBIs in 28 games. Amaya went 1-for-3 on Wednesday as Chicago earned a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays. Reese McGuire, who replaced him, and Carson Kelly are the other catchers on the roster.

NBA signs off on Boston Celtics' record $6.1bn sale to Bill Chisholm
A group headed by Bill Chisholm is set to take control of the Boston Celtics after the NBA's board of governors unanimously approved the sale on Wednesday. The NBA wrote in a statement, 'The transaction is expected to close shortly.' The reported $6.1bn valuation for the club makes it the second-largest sale price for a US sports franchise, behind the $10bn valuation for the Los Angeles Lakers when Mark Walter purchased that team in June. Chisholm and his partners are buying at least 51% of the Celtics. The ownership stake will increase in 2028, according to the purchase contract, when Chisholm's group is scheduled to buy out the remaining minority shareholders at a $7.3bn valuation. According to multiple media reports, Chisholm will take over as the Celtics' governor when the sale goes through. Outgoing owner Wyc Grousbeck is expected to serve as alternate governor and remain the CEO through 2028. Grousbeck will cede his role when he no longer has the required ownership stake of at least 15%. Chisholm, the co-founder and managing partner of the California-based private equity firm STG Partners, is a Massachusetts native and longtime Celtics fan. Grousbeck and the outgoing ownership group Boston Basketball Partners LLC purchased the Celtics for $360m in 2002. During that group's tenure, the club won NBA titles in 2007-08 and 2023-24 – the latter representing Boston's league-record 18th championship.

Jackson Holliday's walk-off double lifts Orioles past Mariners
August 14 - Jackson Holliday rapped a two-out, run-scoring double in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Baltimore Orioles found just enough late-game offense to defeat the visiting Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Wednesday night. Ryan Mountcastle homered and pinch hitter Jeremiah Jackson tripled in Baltimore's three-run seventh inning and lefty starter Trevor Rogers provided seven strong innings. Despite scoring twice in the top of the ninth, Seattle's season-best eight-game winning streak ended as it was held to six hits. The Orioles won for the third time in their last nine games. Dylan Carlson hit his second single of the game with two outs in the ninth before Holliday's game-winning hit. Mountcastle, who had two of his team's nine hits, tied the game on the first pitch of the bottom of the seventh and the Orioles tacked on two more runs. Coby Mayo singled then scored on Jackson's triple, and on that play, Jackson raced home on first baseman Josh Naylor's throwing error. It was notable output for the Orioles after the Mariners blanked Baltimore 1-0 in Tuesday night's series opener. Rogers allowed only a seventh-inning run, holding the Mariners to four hits and no walks with six strikeouts. Orioles reliever Dietrich Enns pitched a scoreless eighth, but Seattle's first two batters in the ninth reached base against Yennier Cano. A double steal put two runners in scoring position, with Eugenio Suarez scoring on Naylor's groundout before pinch hitter Dominic Canzone lofted a game-tying sacrifice fly off Keegan Akin (4-2). Mariners starter Logan Gilbert was sharp through six innings before running into trouble. He ended up being charged with two runs on four hits with two walks, with six strikeouts. Reliever Gabe Speier surrendered Jackson's triple. Matt Brash (1-1) later took the loss. Naylor's one-out single in the seventh inning drove Julio Rodriguez, who led off the frame with a triple, for Seattle's first run. Mountcastle's fourth homer of the season led off the bottom of the seventh, giving the Orioles their first run in the series. The game began after a 1-hour, 40-minute weather delay. --Field Level Media
