"He won't play tomorrow," Chicago coach Jeff Blashill said of the team's game at home against Detroit on Saturday night. "I won't know more info tomorrow, so don't ask me tomorrow. At some point through the weekend, I'll know more, so I'd probably have more info come Monday."

The Washington Capitals announced on Thursday that rookie forward Ryan Leonard will miss the next three to four weeks due to a shoulder injury. Leonard was initially hurt by a blindside hit thrown behind the net by Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jacob Trouba. While players usually rest up and rehab behind the scenes, Leonard has remained close to the team. This was first evident when he was at Capital One Arena for the Caps' 2-0 shutout win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

#Caps Ryan Leonard sustained a shoulder injury during the game on Dec. 5 in Anaheim. Based on the injury and the expected course of rehabilitation, his projected recovery time is approximately 3-4 weeks.

The Phillies are going to acquire right-hander Yoniel Curet from the Rays. Right-hander Tommy McCollum is going the other way. The Rays designated the Curet for assignment recently to open a roster spot when they signed outfielder Cedric Mullins. Philadelphia's 40-man roster count jumps from 34 to 35. Reporter Mike Rodriguez first noted that Curet was going to Philly. Matt Gelb of The Athletic reported on McCollum's inclusion.

LAS VEGAS -- Quarterback Geno Smith suffered a right shoulder injury on Sunday, during the Las Vegas Raiders' 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos at Allegiant Stadium. Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Smith's shoulder "locked up" after getting hit while completing a 3-yard pass to tight end Brock Bowers to close out the third quarter. Smith went into the locker room, and backup quarterback Kenny Pickett played for the entire fourth quarter. Pickett completed 8 of 11 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is out for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers after undergoing procedures this past Monday on both his shoulders, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday. Carter now is undergoing treatment on both shoulders and is considered to be week-to-week to return. Carter wanted to be as close to 100% as possible for the playoff run, the sources told Schefter.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have placed second-year cornerback Terrion Arnold on the injured reserve list with a shoulder injury, which will sideline him for at least four games. Arnold, 22, has started in seven of his eight appearances this season, logging 31 total tackles, eight passes defended and an interception. He missed Monday's practice after being injured in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers.

With the news that star defenseman Adam Fox has been placed on long-term injured reserve for a left shoulder injury, the New York Rangers must reevaluate the direction of a season already on the brink. Fox was injured in the Rangers' 4-1 home loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. He was hit by Tampa Bay forward Brandon Hagel in the third period and left the game. Per Vincent Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic, who first reported that Fox was being placed on LTIR, the Rangers will reevaluate him around Christmas.

"He looked good today so he is trending to play," Bowles said after practice. "He had to get well. He was very limited on Wednesday, he did a little more yesterday and he moved around perfectly today, so he's fine."

That's the reason why I decided not to make a call: would I go to Turin or not earlier, because I wanted to see how the matches go, how I react, he told reporters. After yesterday's [Friday] match, I was hoping that it was not going to flare up. But then today, even before the match, it was not great. I had to take all the strong medications to be able to play the match.

Flagg finished with only two points on 1-of-9 shooting, two rebounds and no assists in 31 minutes, attributing his lackluster performance to being "flat" in the second game of his first NBA back-to-back. Flagg, the No. 1 pick who scored 22 points in the previous night's win over the Toronto Raptors, wore a large wrap with heat on his left shoulder when he was on the bench throughout the game.

DETROIT -- Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury during the second quarter of Monday night's game against the Detroit Lions and did not return to the 24-9 Tampa Bay loss. Evans was carted to the locker room after Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin tackled him to the turf on a deep pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield. Evans' head hit the turf as he and Ya-Sin went tumbling to the ground. Ya-Sin got up immediately and was uninjured.

"Drake is ultimately tough, and he is what he is, and we know Drake," Morris said. "I do expect him to play. That's not saying that he [will play], but when you ask me do I expect him to play? Of course. Drake is the ultimate tough guy. When he says he's going to go practice, that tells you a lot."

But the 33-year-old returned for a third stint with the Dodgers organization with a long injury history. That wound up surfacing after Stewart made just four appearances for the Dodgers before going on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. There was optimism from Stewart and the Dodgers that his condition wasn't too severe and it would lend to a relatively quick recovery. Nevertheless, he wasn't projected to return until September.

Twins starter David Festa is done for the season after suffering a setback while working back from a shoulder injury, relays Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star-Tribune. Festa is headed for a consultation with noted orthopedist Dr. Keith Meister. The 25-year-old Festa has been out since the middle of July. Minnesota sent him to Triple-A St. Paul for a rehab start on August 28. Festa struck out five over 2 2/3 scoreless innings. It seems he came out of the appearance with renewed shoulder pain. That'll shut him down for the year. The Twins will hope there's nothing structurally amiss that'll impact his availability for 2026.

It was the 22-year-old's first career retirement and came as he led by two sets to one before disaster struck late in the third. After landing heavily on his left arm while stretching for a ball, Shelton began to grimace and told his father and coach, Bryan: I did something to my shoulder. I don't know what it is. Despite a mid-set visit from the physio and a tactical shift that saw him attempt 13 serve-and-volley plays in the fourth set alone,

"I used this word unintentionally, just to make it very clear. There was no message. There was no hidden agenda. I fully understood and understand that it's my responsibility that I created these headlines. I am sorry for the upset and I am sorry for the headlines I created. I am experienced enough and should've known better, I should've done better. I thought I had a little more credit with you guys [media] that I do all this in my second language. I did it the morning after a loss, with not a lot of sleep, in a live interview, and I used the wrong word. Again, it's my responsibility."

Charles, 19, injured his shoulder in Wednesday's defeat by Stoke City in the Championship. He had been named by manager Michael O'Neill in the initial squad on Thursday, but he has now been ruled out after further assessment. Northern Ireland travel to Luxembourg in their opening qualifier on 4 September and take on Germany four days later. Both games will be broadcast on BBC Two NI, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk, the 2024 second-round pick who is hoping to rebound from a challenging rookie season in which he was limited to 12 receptions for 87 yards, will undergo shoulder surgery that could threaten his 2025 season, a source confirmed to ESPN. How long the injury ultimately sidelines Polk, and if he could potentially return at some point later in the season, will be contingent on what doctors find in surgery, a source said.

Unfortunately, I've been struggling with a shoulder injury for the last 14 months now, I had a surgery in January, tried my best this year to come back, took multiple injections, but unfortunately, we've reached a point where we're kind of out of options medically. For me, the club is, and has been, an absolutely massive part of my life for a long time and it will be for a long time. I don't think you ever really do properly leave this place.

Hader will not throw for three weeks after being diagnosed with a left capsule shoulder strain on Friday. He will fill that time with rest and strengthening exercises and be re-evaluated to see if he can resume a throwing program.
