Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson dealing with hamstring injury after loss to Chargers

Denver Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett told reporters Tuesday that quarterback Russell Wilson sustained a hamstring injury during the Broncos Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.  Wilson will be undergoing additional tests and scans to determine the severity of the injury and a potential timetable to return.

Wilson was injured in the fourth quarter, but played for the remainder of the 19-16 loss on Monday. He completed 15 of 28 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown. The quarterback told reporters:  “I got my hammy. I kinda scrambled and moved around on one and I had to throw it away. It got me pretty good in the fourth quarter. I just tried to play through it and all that. I felt good moving around, running around, throwing it and everything else, especially early on and then that happened. So that was a little unfortunate, but, ya know, trying to find a way to win a game.”

Wilson previously injured his throwing shoulder in the Broncos’ Week 5 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and unwent an injection procedure on that shoulder on Oct. 7.   The Pro-Bowler completed just 58.6% of his throws for 1,442 yards, five scores and three interceptions through his first six starts this season – a career-low.

The Broncos (2-4) will host the New York Jets (4-2) at 4:05 p.m. EDT Sunday in Denver.

Ezra Miller pleads not guilty to felony burglary charges

Actor Ezra Miller appeared remotely in Vermont Superior Court, pleading not guilty to felony burglary charges. The star of The Flash was arrested in August for charges stemming from a May break-in in Stamford, Vermont, and was accused of entering the at-the-time unoccupied house of neighbor Isaac Winokur and stealing bottles of gin, vodka and rum.  As a condition of their release, Miller was told to stay away from Winokur and another Vermont resident, Aiden Early.  The actor will have to return to court, either virtually or in-person, at an unspecified time in the future.  If convicted, Miller will face up to 26 years in prison and fines of up to $2,000

One week after their arrest, Miller announced that they would begin “ongoing treatment” to address “complex mental health issues,” and also apologized to “everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior,” saying they were “committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe, and productive stage in my life.”

Earlier this year, Miller was arrested twice in Hawaii for disorderly conduct and assault, and over the summer they were accused of grooming behavior towards children. Despite Miller’s legal issues, Warner Bros. Discovery is going forward with their plans to release The Flash on June 23rd, 2023.

Bad Wolves have released a music video featuring their cover of the Ozzy Osbourne classic “Mama I’m Coming Home”, which they will also be releasing as a digital single later this month.

John Boecklin explained how the band came up with the idea to cover the classic track, saying: “Doc [Coyle, guitars] presented the idea to cover Ozzy’s ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home.’  We were all so excited, we immediately started recording it on the road this past summer. Kane Churko’s Vegas studio was on the route so we tracked vocals there. Mama’ is a beautiful anthem about emotional repair, a message we all connect with. Our version has some new flavors but still stays true to the classic.”

The video was directed by Wombat and features footage of frontman Daniel ‘DL’ Laskiewicz performing the track in church. Take a look at the video for ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home’  – here.

ALDS: Yankees-Guardians to face off today in Game 5 after rain postponement

shutterstock_2194525407

After a nearly 3 hour rain delay, Major League Baseball announced Monday’s postseason game between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians would be postponed due to inclement weather. League officials, umpires and team representatives met multiple times during the rain delay but the game was eventually postponed as the rain persisted. The decisive Game 5 of the American League Division Series will be played today at 4:07 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium.

Jameson Taillon was scheduled to start Monday’s contest for the Yankees, but this postponement means that NY could utilize Nestor Cortés on three days of rest for Tuesday’s game. The southpaw had the best season of his career and posted a 2.44 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 163 strikeouts in 158.1 innings.

Cleveland noted it will wait to announce a starter until sometime on Tuesday, but may put ace Shane Bieber in the game on three days of rest.

The winner of today’s game – and the series – will face the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday.
