"Richarlison unfortunately got a hamstring injury that will keep him out for up to seven weeks," Frank told reporters. "Hey, it is what it is. "We are in the market, as I said many times, to see if we can improve the squad, but it needs to be something that will improve the squad in the short and long term.

Also on this day in Dodgers history - but in 2010 -- the Dodgers avoided salary arbitration with Matt Kemp by agreeing to a two-year, $10.95 million contract. Kemp was coming off a career season in which he batted .297/.352/.490 with 25 doubles, seven triples, 26 home runs, 101 RBI and 34 stolen bases over 668 plate appearances (162 games). He finished 10th in National League MVP voting that year while also winning his first career Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Awards.

Everybody knows Josh Allen's as tough as a fast-food steak. That's how Tim McCarver once described a banged-up-but-game George Brett during a baseball broadcast, and that's what I was thinking all Sunday afternoon as I watched a banged-up-but-game Allen and his like-minded, like-wounded Buffalo Bills overcome both the Jacksonville Jaguars and their own sorry playoff history with a 27-24 wild-card weekend win.

The No. 6 49ers certainly could use but surely won't have all three to upset the No. 3 Eagles in Sunday's wild-card game in Philadelphia. Warner's return remains a distant proposition, likely not until the NFC Championship Game or Super Bowl. Three months since fracturing his right ankle, Warner did a couple of 10- to 20-yard sprints with a resistance band around his waist, while cloaked in a hoodie and sunglasses with head trainer Dustin Perry videotaping his every move.

Back to work! Thirteen days after the final match of 2025, head coach Vincent Kompany welcomed the FC Bayern players back to Säbener Straße on Saturday for the first team training session of the new year. Sunshine and snow made it a winter wonderland in Munich, as Harry Kane and Co gathered on the pitch in thick layers but in good spirits.

Nikola Jokic injured his knee on Monday night and is expected to miss the next month, which has a profound impact on the NBA MVP race. In the short term, it narrows the field down to one huge favorite in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. But in the long run, this trend of injuries could end up widening the field to include players previously not even in the hunt.

In his 13 games since returning from a complicated right wrist injury, Jalen Williams is averaging 17.3 points on 45% shooting, a small step down from his 21.6 points on 48.4% a season ago. Williams remains a high-impact two-way wing, chipping in five assists, five rebounds and nearly two steals per night. But the next progression in his return to All-NBA third-team form is a bump in his scoring and shooting production. He's taking two fewer 3s and making one fewer per game.

William Nylander is day-to-day still, so we will see. He is doing better, but he is still day-to-day. He is out today. Auston Matthews will be a game-time decision (due to the injury from the blocked shot in Detroit). Chris Tanev has a lower-body injury. It is not the same injury as before. He is getting evaluated today, so we will have a better timeline tomorrow or later today.

It's been an unpredictable and exciting college football season, and with the start of the College Football Playoff this weekend, it's now coming to a close. The first-round slate, with four games spread over Friday and Saturday, seems to be set up for two tight games and two blowouts. But this is the playoffs and anything can happen, especially when one heavy favorite is missing its head coach.

When the Dolphins run: Miami running back De'Von Achane remains the NFL leader in yards per carry, at 5.8. The Dolphins maintained a decent run-pass ratio in the first half while the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers was still tight and low-scoring, but Achane only ended up with 12 carries, amassing 60 yards on those. Jaylen Wright was back to being a non-factor, with just one carry despite rookie Ollie Gordon II hurting his ankle.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- The Dallas Mavericks' injury list expanded during pregame warmups, when forward P.J. Washington sprained his right ankle. Washington suffered the injury when he landed on a basketball minutes before the opening tip against the LA Clippers. Washington was a late scratch from the starting lineup. He was ruled out for the game midway through the first quarter. Dallas was already without its top three big men.

Starting with the hosts, making a real play-off statement earlier in the month as they stormed their way past Chicago, Philadelphia will be looking to collect another heavyweight scalp here. Despite signing off their regular-season adventure with a 2-0 victory away at Charlotte, Bradley Carnell's camp have rightfully received a string of plaudits. Wrapping up top spot in the Eastern Conference standings, the Union have shattered a string of records this year.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars as he continues to recover from appendicitis surgery, coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday morning. It's the second-straight game Harrison will miss because of the ailment. He had surgery the night of Nov. 10th after playing in Seattle the day before. Gannon also ruled out running back Emari Demercado, who is dealing with an ankle sprain suffered in Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

According to Football Italia, Cristian Chivu is 'waiting anxiously' for clarity on the condition of two players: Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries. Both would be strong contenders to start the game, in the left central midfield and right wing-back roles respectively. Zielinski scored and assisted against Malta as Poland came from behind to beat them, but speaking to TVP Sport he admitted that he came out of the game banged up.

Sarina Wiegman has recalled Lauren Hemp and Grace Clinton for England's upcoming friendlies against China and Ghana, but there was no room for Chelsea's Lauren James. Hemp had been out of action for over two months with an ankle injury, but returned for club side Manchester City in their league wins over Everton and Manchester United. Clinton, meanwhile, pulled out of the Lionesses' previous squad last month due to a small injury, but is deemed fit enough to return to Wiegman's ranks for the two matches.
