San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell expected to miss two months with MCL sprain

shutterstock_211724500-3

San Francisco running back Elijah Mitchell suffered a sprained MCL during the 49ers Week 1 loss against the Bears that will sideline him for around two months. Mitchell’s injury came during the first half of Sunday’s game against Chicago. While it was initially thought to be a minor injury, an MRI following the game gave Mitchell a diagnosis.

Before exiting the game on Sunday, Mitchell had six carries for 41 yards. With Mitchell out for a significant amount of time, the team will be expecting more from its other running backs — Jeff Wilson, third-round rookie Tyrion Davis-Price and undrafted rookie Jordan Mason. If Mitchell winds up being out for the expected two months, his return would probably come in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers or Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals in Mexico City.

The Bears defeated the 49ers with a score of 19-10 on Sunday. San Francisco will host the Seattle Seahawks for Week 2.

Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner to miss 4 months due to shoulder surgery

shutterstock_1700535904

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman told reporters on Monday that quarterback Tyler Buchner will have shoulder surgery Tuesday, and is expected to miss four months – which means he will miss the rest of the season.

Buchner completed 18 of 32 passes for 201 yards, scored two rushing touchdowns and had two interceptions in Notre Dame’s 26-21 loss to Marshall on Saturday in Notre Dame, Ind.  He sustained the left shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. Freeman told reporters: “He ended up getting a high-grade AC sprain in his non-throwing shoulder. He will have surgery tomorrow. The expected recovery time is about four months. We can all do the math. That puts us somewhere in mid-January. Drew Pyne will be our starter.”

Buchner completed 28 of 50 passes for 378 yards and two interceptions through two games this season for the Fighting Irish (0-2). The sophomore quarterback also ran for 62 yards, in addition to his two rushing touchdowns, and completed 60% of his throws for 298 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in 10 games in 2021.

Notre Dame will host California (2-0) at 2:30 p.m. EDT Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium.

Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown share the video for their duet ‘Thank God’

shutterstock_1422834317

Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn Brown are sharing the music video for their duet, “Thank God.”  Directed by Brown’s longtime collaborator Alex Alvga and filmed in Hawaii, the clip follows the couple around as they explore the beautiful island together.  The video concludes with the couple embracing on a beach as the sun sets around them.

“Thank God” marks the first duet between the couple, but Katelyn is no stranger to making music — when she first met Kane, she was pursuing a career as a solo R&B/Pop singer.  However, Kane recently told Billboard: “She [Katelyn] doesn’t want to be an artist — she just loves singing. She’s always singing around the house and her voice is beautiful. We’ve been looking for songs and probably went through about five of them before we got this one from one of my writers at [publishing company] Verse 2 and it was supposed to be a solo song. We changed it to a duet, and she fell in love this song. Personally, I think it is the biggest song off the record.”

“Thank God” appears on Brown’s just-released third studio album, Different Man, which features 17 tracks including the chart-topping hits “Like I Love Country Music” and “One Mississippi.”

Vince Staples will star in a self-titled comedy series at Netflix loosely based on his life. Titled The Vince Staples Show, the series is a semi-biographical scripted comedy starring the actor and rapper, set in Staples’ hometown of Long Beach, Calif.  Staples will serve as an executive producer in addition to starring, and Kenya Barris — the creator of the hit ABC sitcom Black-ish – is also set to executive produce. No additional cast members have been announced.

Staples said in a statement: “I am excited to partner with Netflix and Kenya Barris on ‘The Vince Staples Show.’ This has been something I have been developing for some time and I am happy it’s coming to fruition.” Staples has previously worked in scripted series in both film and television.  Netflix’s head of comedy, Tracy Pakosta, added: “It’s our mission to work with the best artists in the world. Vince has already established himself as one of the most talented young musicians today and we’re really excited about how his sensibility — and sense of humor — will translate into a unique comedy series.”

Staples began his career collaborating with artists like Earl Sweatshirt and Mac Miller, and released his debut studio album, Summertime ’06, in 2015. He has since released four additional LPs.

Meghan Trainor has dropped her latest single “Don’t I Make It Look Easy” off her fourth full-length album, “Takin’ It Back”, which is set for release on October 21st. You can pre-order/pre-save the album: HERE.

Trainor had this to say about “Takin’ It Back”:  “When I started recording the album I was learning how to be a working mom. I very literally had my hands full with formula and toys, while also being in the studio writing and recording. I realized from the outside looking in I made this all look easy. Similar to how we only post the good moments on our social media, I thought, ‘Isn’t it silly that moms are supposed to have it all together? My intention with this song is to let everyone out there know that even though they might be feeling overwhelmed, they’re doing a great job.”

Authorities in California arrest man accused of killing child whose body was found at his home six months ago

shutterstock_1007415373

Authorities in California have arrested the man accused of killing an 8-year-old girl whose body was found in his home six months ago. After a months-long search and an investigation involving the Department of Justice’s Special Operations Unit, police arrested Dhante Jackson in Newark, California, for the murder of Sophia Mason. According to a news release from the office of California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the girl’s body was found in Jackson’s Central Valley home in March a few days after her relatives reported her missing. The relatives told police they had not had contact with the girl since December, which led local police at the time to arrest Sophia’s mother, Samantha Johnson, on a warrant stemming from a child abuse case the previous year.

According to the news release from the Attorney General’s office, Johnson shared with investigators after her arrest the details of the abuse her daughter faced from Jackson before her death, which included “being forced to live in a shed in Jackson’s yard and suffering sexual and physical abuse. Jackson and Johnson had been in a romantic relationship. Court documents show that Merced police found Sophia’s body in a bathtub, inside a locked bathroom in Jackson’s home, after executing a search warrant on the property.

On Sunday, local police shared the grim news that Sophia had been dead for at least a month before she was found, and her death has been ruled a homicide by the Merced County coroner’s office. After finding Sophia’s body the Merced County District Attorney’s Office charged Johnson with child abuse and homicide for the child’s murder. Johnson has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her.
