Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku suffered facial burns on Sept. 30 and still put on his uniform the following day for his Week 4 game.
Now we’ve got our first look at Njoku’s injuries, caused by a fire pit at the player’s home. Considering the extent of his facial injuries, it’s incredible that Njoku chose to play that week.

CLEVELAND, OHIO – NOVEMBER 01: Tight end David Njoku #85 of the Cleveland Browns warms up prior to the game against the Las Vegas Raiders at FirstEnergy Stadium on November 01, 2020 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Blackhawks’ No. 1 pick Connor Bedard opened his NHL goalscoring account during Wednesday’s clash against the Bruins, getting on the board with the first score of the game on a sensational wraparound goal.
The massively hyped 18-year-old displayed a wide range of his abilities during the goal, which he helped set up in the neutral zone and finished off with the wraparound tuck to beat Linus Ullmark.

New information on Francisco Lindor may be at least a partial explanation for the New York Mets’ disastrous 2023 season.
The Mets, and Lindor, started slowly, with the star shortstop hitting just .218 in March and April, .227 in May and .230 in June. And now we may have an idea why.
Lindor was apparently suffering through a bone spur in his elbow, with the Mets announcing on Wednesday that he’d undergone surgery to repair it, with a several months long recovery period.

Bryce Harper dominated in Game 3 against the Braves, hitting two home runs by the fifth inning as the Phillies jumped out to a big lead. Much attention was paid to his base running, as the 30-year-old slugger could be seen staring down Atlanta’s Orlando Arcia on both occasions as he rounded second base.
Following a comment reportedly made by Arcia after Atlanta’s Game 2 win, it seemed as if Harper was looking to exact revenge on the Braves, and he did just that on Wednesday.

Couldn’t make it to Citizens Bank Park for Game 3 of the NLDS series between the Phillies and the Braves? Don’t worry—MLB has you covered.
The league has been posting videos of natural stadium sounds from highlights throughout the playoffs, and none have been louder than when Bryce Harper crushed his monstrous 408-foot three-run home run in the bottom of the third inning of Wednesday’s game.
As expected, the home crowd went absolutely wild as Harper rounded the bases. The video shows two different angles of the stadium with fans jumping in the stands all around.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges after reportedly violating the terms of a protective order by smashing an ex-girlfriend’s car window.
First reported by WSOC, the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office issued the warrant for Bridges on Wednesday — the arrest warrant does not concern new allegations, the office noted. Bridges’ latest arrest warrant concerned the window-shattering incident, which occurred earlier this year.

Colorado hosts Stanford Friday night in a game that kicks off at 8 p.m.

USADA CEO Travis Tygart announced Wednesday that Conor McGregor had reentered the drug testing pool, but said USADA’s partnership with the UFC will end upon the conclusion of its current contract .

The NHL can’t seem to not get itself stuck in some kind of controversy, and this one is especially sticky: it involves rainbow stick tape.
News broke this week that the league was outlawing rainbow-colored tape used by some players on Pride Nights.
Yes, those same Pride Nights that used to feature jerseys that are now outlawed.
This — as you might expect — enraged progressives while most other people probably didn’t even realize that this was a thing. Either way, rainbow tape is outlawed and people aren’t happy about it.

Bryce Harper gave the Phillies a lead over the Braves in the third inning of Game 3 of the NLDS on Wednesday night, unloading a massive three-run homer off Bryce Elder to make it a 4-1 game.
While trotting around the bases after parking the ball in the upper deck in right field, Harper took a moment to stare down Atlanta’s shortstop Orlando Arcia.
When Harper rounded second base and jogged past Arcia, his gaze appeared to fixate on the shortstop for a few moments. 
The incident comes after Harper’s game-ending base-running gaffe in Game 2.
