The regular edition of the game just has Allen, while the Deluxe Edition features the iconic photo of Allen jumping into the stands of Highmark Stadium to celebrate with fans.

In 2020, the Jaguars released plans to upgrade its stadium in downtown Jacksonville, and three years since the initial announcement, it appears that serious progress has been made in planning what the new stadium will look like.
The Jaguars released a video on the team’s official social media accounts on Wednesday portraying detailed renderings of the renovated stadium, which will be domed and can seat as many as 71,500 people.

Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson has been on fire since returning from the injured list over the weekend. 
Donaldson didn’t hit much in the five games he played before going on the IL in April with a hamstring injury, but at least the Yankees could count on him for strong defense. He returned to the field on Friday and has made an immediate impact, hitting three homers in his last three games. In Tuesday night’s game, he made a pair of impressive defensive plays. The first came in the fifth inning when he made a strong off-balance throw to nail a runner at first.

While other superstars have demanded trades or been left free in free agency, Damian Lillard has constantly preached loyalty to his team—despite the repeated years of disappointment on the court. But for a brief moment, it appeared that Lillard wouldn’t be too upset if the Trail Blazers decided to trade him as long as it was to one of these two teams. 
While appearing on Showtime’s The Last Stand, Lillard was asked about possible trade scenarios that include the Knicks, Heat, Celtics and Nets and which would he prefer.  
“Miami, obviously,” Lillard said.

Catcher Ethan Salas, MLB’s top international prospect and No. 3 prospect in the Padres organization, connected on his first professional home run on Tuesday, just days after his 17th birthday.
The highly-touted Salas, who is the No. 86 prospect in all of baseball, signed with the Padres for $5.6 million at the beginning of the 2023 international signing window. In just six games with Single-A Lake Elsinore, he has already impressed with a .300 batting average, while drawing seven walks.

Boldly going where no one has gone before.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to boldly go where no team has gone before with renderings of their proposed new stadium.

A literal chrome dome, this futuristic design for new stadium is very reminiscent of The Bean in Chicago, albeit more streamlined for space flight or … other things.

It’s no secret that Deebo Samuel’s contact dispute and subsequent trade request was a huge storyline last offseason. What fans didn’t know was just how much it affected the 49ers star’s play on the field. 
When talking to reporters Tuesday, Samuel acknowledged that the offseason negotiations played a role in him not being in good shape going into training camp and noted just how sluggish he was to start the year. He was also plainly asked to assess his 2022 season.
“It was awful,” he said. 
In what way? 
“Every aspect.
