WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor will be without starting quarterback Blake Shapen for at least two to three weeks because of an MCL injury suffered in the season-opening upset loss to Texas State, meaning he will miss Saturday’s home game against 14th-ranked Utah.Bears coach Dave Aranda updated Shapen’s status during his weekly availability Monday, a day after the quarterback had an MRI. The coach said starting safety Devin Lemear also would be out two to three weeks with a dislocated elbow.Both got hurt Saturday night when Baylor, a nearly four-touchdown favorite, lost 42-31 at home to Texas State. Shapen completed 21 of 31 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns. The second TD came in the fourth quarter after he returned for a series with his knee fully taped and in a brace.Mississippi State transfer quarterback Sawyer Robertson is expected to start Saturday against the Utes.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Desmond King isn’t sure why the Houston Texans cut him last week. The veteran cornerback also doesn’t particularly care.It took all of 48 hours for King to find a new gig, one at the other end of the NFL spectrum. King practically sprinted to Pittsburgh, eager to join a defense littered with stars and an organization that hasn’t been through a full-on rebuild like the Texans are undergoing in decades.The Steelers signed King on Thursday to give them another experienced voice in a secondary that includes perennial All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and eight-time Pro Bowler Patrick Peterson. By Monday afternoon King was out on the practice field trying to absorb as much of the playbook as he can before Sunday’s opener against San Francisco.Asked if it’s reasonable to think he can learn enough to get on the field this weekend, King just laughed.“Absolutely,” he said. “As long as I know what everybody’s doing, I’ll play whereve...Futbolistas de la selección masculina de España condenan la conducta de Rubiales antes de los partidos internacionales

Union workers took to the streets with city and state leaders in Boston Monday, rallying support for the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes that have Hollywood on hold. Monday’s demonstration took place in Downtown Crossing and followed a Labor Day breakfast backing workers rights in Boston where Gov. Maura Healey voiced her support for those on strike.“We honor you and your courage and we stand with you in this fight,” Healey said. “We’re dealing with something that’s not new,” said actor Daniel Washington. “It’s just the straw that broke the camel’s back.” SAG-AFTRA represents thousands of actors currently on strike. In Downtown Crossing, Sen. Elizabeth Warren was among those showing support. “These artists, these creators, these storytellers are raising their voices and they are demanding the pay they deserve,” Warren said.

Worcester community members are mourning after a local teen died last week after he reportedly participated in a social media challenge. Worcester police said the 14-year-old Harris Wolobah stopped breathing at his home on Friday. Speaking with 7NEWS, Wolobah’s recreational team basketball coach said Wolobah had been at Doherty Memorial High School earlier in the day when he ate a chip covered in spice made from hot peppers and got sick. “He fell victim to the ‘One Chip Challenge,” coach Douglas Hill said. “There was a person in school that kind of dared him to do it.” “The nurse basically said that she just took his vitals and looked for whatever symptoms she could find,” Hill said. “He said that he was okay but was not feeling good.” Hill said Wolobah’s stomach was hurting, saying “he was obviously feeling the effects of the chip.” While Worcester police said there was no official cause of death as of Monday, a spokesperson said “it appears he d...Pete Alonso’s historic home runs amaze Mets teammates, Buck Showalter

The Mets’ Pete Alonso continues to amaze the Amazins.Teammates and manager Buck Showalter couldn’t help but marvel Sunday after Alonso became the fifth player in MLB history to record three years with 40 home runs through five career seasons.Alonso — who slugged his 40th and 41st home runs of 2023 during Sunday’s 6-3 win over the Mariners — also tallied his 100th RBI of the season, making him the fourth Met to reach that milestone three times.“The sky’s the limit,” said Fransisco Lindor, who joined the Mets in 2021. “I don’t think he has had his best year yet. I didn’t see the rookie season where he hit [53 home runs in 2019] but I think Pete could hit .300 and still hit 40 home runs in a year.”Alonso, a career .254 hitter, has never batted above .271 in a season, but his 187 home runs rank fifth on the Mets’ all-time list. His only year with fewer than 37 homers came in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic sh...Latest news
