Carolina Panthers QB Baker Mayfield avoids surgery and being placed on IR, but will miss up to 4 weeks with ankle injury

shutterstock_1252189261-1

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield will not need surgery on the high ankle sprain he suffered.  NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said that Mayfield avoided “major damage”, and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Mayfield will not be placed on IR, but is expected to miss anywhere from 2-6 weeks due to the injury. The quarterback could return within the next four games since he is avoiding a spot on injured reserve list.

Mayfield suffered the ankle injury during the Panthers’ Week 5 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 2018 No. 1 overall pick, who was acquired by the Panthers in a July trade with the Cleveland Browns, suffered a shoulder injury in Week 2 last season which lingered throughout the year, causing him to miss three games before underwent surgery in the offseason.  Prior to that, Mayfield hadn’t missed any contests because of injury over his first three NFL seasons.

In five appearances for the Panthers this season, Mayfield has completed 54.9 percent of his throws for 962 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions. P.J. Walker will take over as the team’s starter in Mayfield’s absence.

Los Angeles City Council president resigns from post after racist remarks are leaked

shutterstock_1101830969

On Monday, President of the Los Angeles City Council, Nury Martinez, resigned from her post after audio of her making repeated racist marks was leaked. In a statement, Martinez announced that she would resign effective immediately, and apologized for her off-color remarks. The leaked audio surfaced ahead of the Nov. 8 election in which several council seats are up for grabs; it was not immediately clear who recorded it.

First posted to Reddit, the audio containing Martinez’s remarks was obtained and published by the nonprofit community news platform Knock LA and the Los Angeles Times. The conversations also included council members Gil Cedillo and Kevin de Leon, as well as the president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, Ron Herrera.

Martinez can be heard saying in one of the recordings, regarding Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón: “[Expletive] that guy, he’s with the Blacks,” and in another recording, Martinez appeared to say that the adopted Black son of fellow City Council member Mike Bonin, who is white, “looks like a little monkey” in Spanish.  Bonin and his husband, Sean Arian, said in a statement: “We are appalled, angry and absolutely disgusted that Nury Martinez attacked our son with horrific racist slurs, and talked about her desire to physically harm him. It’s vile, abhorrent, and utterly disgraceful.  No child should ever be subjected to such racist, mean and dehumanizing comments, especially from a public official. It is painful to know he will someday read these comments.”

Martinez served as the president of the City Council since late 2019 and is the first Latina woman to hold the position. However despite her resignation, Martinez is expected to remain on the 15-member City Council, and in her resignation statement she did not mention leaving her seat as a council member.
