Brighton defender Adam Webster will undergo surgery on knee ligament injury
The Athletic revealed on Thursday that Webster, 30, picked up the injury during the south-coast club's training camp in Marbella, Spain, which ended on Monday. Head coach Fabian Hurzerler said in a statement on the club website that it is too early to put an exact timescale on the injury but the defender will likely miss a 'large part of the season'.

'Adam suffered a knee ligament injury during training last week, and he will undergo surgery in the coming weeks,' Hurzerler told the club website.
'Unfortunately, it was a case of very bad luck. It's a blow to Adam, after he'd come back in great shape for the new season.
'It's also a blow for us, as he has been an important player for us; he is a big character and a leader within the squad. We'll work with him over the months ahead to make sure he gets the best possible care and rehabilitation to get him back to full fitness as quickly as possible.'
We can confirm that Adam Webster will undergo surgery on a knee ligament injury.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Webby! 💙🤍

Hurzeler was speaking to the club website after Ferdi Kadioglu returned from eight months out through injury in a 2-0 win against Championship side Coventry City behind closed doors at the training ground in Lancing on Saturday. The Turkish international full-back needed an operation on a toe injury sustained last November.
Goals by former Coventry loanee Yasin Ayari and Senegal forward Abdallah Sima maintained Brighton's 100% record across four matches so far in the pre-season programme.

Sky's Angel Reese to miss sixth straight game, still doesn't have timeline for return
Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese hasn't played this month, and she still leads the WNBA in total rebounds. Unfortunately for the Sky, Reese doesn't have a timeline for return from the lower back injury that she's been dealing with since late July. "She wants to be out there. She's a competitor, she's fighter, she's a winner," Sky head coach Tyler Marsh told reporters Wednesday. "So it's hard for her not to be out there for her teammates, but we want her to be as healthy as possible when she is ready to come back." Although the Sky have not shut down Reese for the season, she has not been cleared for basketball activities, according to The Chicago Tribune, which reported Wednesday that the team's medical staff advised the two-time All-Star not to travel for last Saturday's road game against the Indiana Fever. Reese participated in this year's All-Star Game, but her back injury surfaced on the team's availability report after she played in Chicago's first game back from the break on July 22. The LSU product missed the next two games before making a one-game return versus the Washington Mystics. She played 32 minutes and pocketed her 17th double-double of the season, recording 22 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. But she posted a field goal percentage below 40% for the first time since June, and the Sky suffered a 17-point loss. Since that July 29 defeat, Reese hasn't seen the court. And the Sky have gone 1-4, slumping to an 8-23 record. Chicago is second-to-last in the WNBA standings, ahead of only the Connecticut Sun. The Sky are just 1-7 without Reese in the lineup this season and 7-16 with her on the floor in 2025. Reese is averaging 14.2 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks per game during her sophomore season in the W. She's notably bumped her field goal percentage up to 44.4% — she finished her rookie campaign with a 39.1% clip — and she's demonstrated improved passing and a 3-point shot that remains a work-in-progress but is more capable than before. While the playoffs may not be attainable, the Sky still have an incentive to make a late-season push. After all, the Minnesota Lynx have Chicago's first-round pick in 2026. Getting Reese back would help the Sky try to will their way up the league table, except time's running out. Including Wednesday's game against the Sun, Chicago has only 13 games remaining in a regular season that ends Sept. 11.

Dolphins DE Chop Robinson provides injury update on social media
Miami Dolphins defensive end Chop Robinson offered a promising update Wednesday after he was carted from a joint practice with the Detroit Lions. On his Instagram page, the second-year edge rusher wrote that the injury that ended his day was "nothing serious." Details of the injury remain unclear, although one onlooker observed Robinson appeared to be favoring his arm or shoulder. Robinson, 22, was the Dolphins' first-round pick in 2024 and emerged as a star for the team's defense in the latter half of his rookie year. In the last nine weeks of the 2024 regular season, only the Dallas Cowboys' Micah Parsons was credited with recording more quarterback pressures than Robinson's 42. He finished his rookie season with six sacks, an impressive total considering his first career sack didn't come until November. While the Dolphins have improved depth at edge rusher following the returns of both Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips from injuries, losing Robinson for an extended stretch would've been a tough blow for the team.

Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders injures his oblique during practice in Philadelphia
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders sustained an oblique injury during drills early in practice Wednesday and did not play the rest of the session. Sanders and the Browns were in Philadelphia for a pair of joint practices ahead of Saturday's preseason game. The Browns did not offer any additional information on Sanders' availability for the rest of the week. Sanders completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards with two first-half touchdown passes to Kaden Davis in his NFL preseason debut in a win over Carolina on Friday night. The performance by Hall of Famer Deion Sanders' son even caught the attention of NBA star LeBron James. "That young (man) looking good out there," James wrote. "Keep going UP!!! HEAD down on the grind and HEAD high to the most high." The Browns took Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the NFL draft. He wasn't selected until the 144th overall pick, a stunning fall for the most recognizable player in this draft class. Sanders finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy balloting last season for Colorado and threw for a school-record 4,134 yards last season. He is part of a crowded Browns quarterback room as Deshaun Watson is expected to sit out this season with a torn Achilles tendon. The group also includes Kenny Pickett, 40-year-old Joe Flacco and third-round pick Dillon Gabriel, who was responsible for a Football Bowl Subdivision-record 188 total touchdowns during a six-year career that included stops at Central Florida, Oklahoma and Oregon. Pickett has been slowed in training camp with a hamstring injury and Gabriel experienced a tight hamstring.
