New York Jets pass rusher Jermaine Johnson was carted off the field with a potentially severe injury to his right Achilles tendon in the third quarter of their game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on Sunday. Johnson will have an MRI exam on Monday.

Johnson was injured while trying to chase down Titans quarterback Will Levis, who started scrambling up the middle for a 21-yard gain. After Johnson went down in what appeared to be a non-contact injury with 4:22 left in the third, a cart immediately came out while his teammates gathered around him. The Jets announced after Johnson was taken to the locker room that he’d hurt his Achilles, and would not return.

After the game, Johnson spoke to reporters: “I thought somebody stepped on me. Then I looked at the replay and nobody stepped on it, and I was like, ‘Damn.’ But, man, I’m in positive spirits. I got my crying out on the field a little bit. I’m probably going to get a little more crying in tonight. But after that, you know, 24-hour or 48-hour mourning rule for me and we’ll be back to work.”

The Jets started this game with cornerback D.J. Reed inactive, and linebacker C.J. Mosley alsonleft with the game in the second quarter with a toe injury on his right foot.

The Jets went on to win 24-17 over the Tennessee Titans in Sunday’s game.

Donald Trump safe after multiple gunshots are fired near Trump National Golf Club in Florida

Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter^ Florida. It is a private golf club in Jupiter^ Florida with a 7^242-yard course designed by Jack Nicklaus.

Donald Trump is “safe” after multiple gunshots were fired near his golf course in Florida. A spokesperson for the West Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office said no one was injured, and the golf course was put on lockdown as a precaution. Trump had just returned to Florida this weekend from the West Coast which included a rally in Las Vegas on Friday nights and a fundraiser in Utah. The FBI later said Sunday on it “is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump.”

According to a statement from Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung, the former president was golfing at Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday, Sept. 15, when the incident occurred. Cheung said: “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time.” 

According to law enforcement sources, Trump, 78, was taken to safety by the Secret Service after agents opened fire on a man who was spotted with what may have been a gun while the former president was playing golf.  A member of Trump’s Secret Service detail spotted a suspicious individual on the golf course and opened fire when the agents saw what appeared to be the barrel of a gun. The suspect fled the scene, jumping into a car after he was engaged by Secret Service agents. A car with the same license plate number was stopped in Martin County, north of the golf course, and one individual was taken into custody, the officials said. An AK-47 style weapon and scope were recovered at the scene by the golf course. No motive has been determined at this time.

Chief of Communications for the Secret Service, Anthony Guglielmi, said in a statement: “The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m.” He also stated that Trump “is safe” and added that the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office “will have more details soon.”

Trump wrote in a fundraising email Sunday afternoon: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” 

The White House said in a statement: “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”  In a separate post on X, Harris said, “I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America.”

The shooting took place two months after Trump was rushed off the stage after being injured at a Pennsylvania rally on July 13, which has since been called an assassination attempt.

Three Americans are detained in Venezuela over alleged plot to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro participates in a press conference at the Miraflores Palace^ the seat of government of Venezuela. Caracas^ Venezuela; April 20 2023

Three Americans, as well as two Spaniards and a Czech citizen, were arrested after Venezuelan officials accused them of coming to the country with a plot to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro.

The arrests were announced on state television by the nation’s interior minister, Diosdado Cabello, who said the foreign citizens were part of a CIA-led plot to overthrow the Venezuelan government and kill several members of its leadership. In the television program, Cabello showed images of rifles that he said were confiscated from some of the plotters of the alleged plan.

The three American citizens included a Navy SEAL, identified as Wilbert Joseph Castañeda Gomez, who had served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Colombia and was detained in Venezuela. The U.S. State Department late Saturday confirmed the detention of a U.S. military member and said it was aware of “unconfirmed reports of two additional U.S. citizens detained in Venezuela.  Any claims of U.S. involvement in a plot to overthrow Maduro are categorically false. The United States continues to support a democratic solution to the political crisis in Venezuela.”

The arrests come just two days after the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on 16 allies of Maduro who were accused by the U.S. government of obstructing voting during Venezuela’s disputed July 28 presidential election, which the country’s opposition accuses Maduro of stealing.

Eagles wideout A.J. Brown out for Monday Night Football vs. Falcons with hamstring injury

Philadelphia eagles NFL club helmet on the green playing field ^ product shot

Philadelphia Eagles’ No. 1 wideout A.J. Brown will not play in the Eagles’ Monday Night Football matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons.  Brown, who was initially listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, was downgraded to ‘out’ on Sunday and will not be available in Week 2; kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday night.

Brown was added to the injury report on Friday after his hamstring “got a little tight” in practice, with head coach Nick Sirianni revealing the next day that he had experienced some tightness in his hamstring during Friday’s practice. Brown was listed as a limited participant for Saturday’s session and originally carried a questionable designation on the final practice report before being ruled out Sunday.

Brown, 27, was acquired by the Eagles from the Tennessee Titans in 2022, and signed a new three-year, $96 million extension this April.  He had not missed a regular-season game since joining Philly, and quickly became the first player in team history to post 1,400-plus receiving yards in back-to-back seasons, setting franchise highs for receiving yards in both campaigns.  In the season-opener, he racked up 119 yards and a touchdown on five receptions during the Eagles Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers in Sao Paulo.

Jahan Dotson will likely assume a larger role with Brown now sidelined; Coach Sirianni said of Dotson: “He has worked his butt off. He’s obviously a very talented player. We’ll see how that goes. But I know that the guys are ready when they need to be, when they’re called upon.”
