Colts QB Anthony Richardson hurts throwing hand in preseason opener
Richardson got the start over offseason acquisition Daniel Jones and suffered a finger injury on his right (throwing) hand on his second drive under center.
He was sacked by David Ojabo for an eight-yard loss midway through the first quarter, and replay showed his pinkie finger was bent at an awkward angle. Richardson immediately came out of the game, replaced by Jones.
In his brief appearance Thursday, Richardson completed 2 of 3 passes for 21 yards.
Richardson is battling to keep his starting job after making 11 starts in 2024 and briefly being benched for Joe Flacco.
As a rookie in 2023, Richardson suffered an AC joint sprain in his fourth career start and soon underwent season-ending shoulder surgery. He missed two games with an oblique injury as well as two more due to back spasms last season and missed mandatory minicamp with a shoulder injury this summer.

Fans rip into 'sad' Conor McGregor training footage ahead of potential UFC return at the White House
Fans and former UFC legends are ripping into training footage of ex-two-belt champion Conor McGregor ahead of a potential bout on the lawn of the White House in 2026. McGregor, 37, hasn't entered an Octagon in four years after breaking his leg during his third bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July of 2021. Half a year before that horrific injury, he'd suffer the first knockout of his career against the same opponent. But now, McGregor appears to be training for another bout. While no date or card has been set, the Dublin native indicated his interest in returning for the UFC event at the White House that President Donald Trump floated for next year. McGregor, who has cozied up to Trump and has political views aligning with the president, has returned to posting training videos on his social media. But that footage has quickly been blasted by UFC fans on social media for the Irishman's lack of speed. Among the most notable critics is former UFC Women's World Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg, who left laughing emojis under a tweet showcasing the video. Other fans quickly chipped in with their critiques and opinions. 'Bro looks so bad now, just stay retired,' read one caption on X, formerly Twitter. Another wrote, 'He will never come back!' 'He's gonna get KO'd first round,' said a different user. 'So bad and slow and just weird. Stay retired 'cause you're gonna get knocked out in round 1. Face it man, it's over,' read another comment. Other fans suggested that a potential matchup against Michael Chandler, Nate Diaz, 'Cowboy' Cerrone, or Ilia Topuria could yield positive results. In addition to his potential comeback in the UFC, McGregor announced his intention to stand as a candidate for the 2025 Irish presidential election back in March.

Guardians LHP John Means goes 2 innings in rehab start
August 10 - Cleveland Guardians left-hander John Means made a positive step toward his MLB return from Tommy John surgery, pitching two innings in a bridge game at the team's complex in Goodyear, Ariz., on Saturday. It was the first game action for the 32-year-old, who signed with Cleveland this spring after undergoing surgery in June 2024. "(He) pitched really well but (he also) felt great," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said, per "so that's a really good sign." Means was expected to be evaluated by Cleveland's training and medical staff on Sunday, Vogt said, before the hurler can begin searching for a rehab assignment at the minor league level. "We have to finish the rehab," Vogt said. "There's no rushing it. We don't have a date in mind or anything like that. So, it's step by step. But in a perfect world, he's back healthy and he could be an option for us down the stretch." A 2019 All-Star, Means is 23-26 in 78 games, which includes 73 starts, to go along with a 3.68 ERA and 334 strikeouts. He spent the first seven years of his career with Baltimore, although he was limited to just 10 starts over the past three seasons due to injuries. --Field Level Media
