Max Muncy grabs knee after scary collision
The Los Angeles Dodgers are hosting the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night for Game 2 of a three-game series, and through five innings, the White Sox were up 4-2. To make matters worse for the Dodgers, third baseman Max Muncy went down with an injury in the top of the sixth inning. There was a play at third base, and Muncy hurt his knee after colliding with the runner.
Max Muncy did make the out, but he was clearly in a lot of pain and had to exit the game. It's unclear how serious the injury is at this point.
Muncy is having another strong season as he is currently hitting .255 with 13 homers and 55 RBIs with an .838 OPS. Muncy has been with the Dodgers since 2018, and he is one of the most important players on this team. Hopefully the injury is nothing serious and he can return soon. The good news is that it was not a non-contact injury, so there is a good chance that his knee collided with the runner hard and will feel better soon.
The Dodgers took Game 1 of this series against the White Sox 6-1, but they are having a lot more trouble here in Game 2. On the bright side, Clayton Kershaw hit an incredible career milestone as he recorded his 3,000th strikeout. It was a special moment, and now the Dodgers are hoping to get a win.
So far on the season, Max Muncy and the Dodgers have met expectations. They are the defending World Series champs, and they have one of the most loaded rosters that the sport has ever seen. LA is favored to win the World Series this year, and they have been neck and neck with the Detroit Tigers for the best record in baseball. A win on Wednesday would give the Dodgers the best record in the league, but a loss would tie them with Detroit.

Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson avoided a serious knee injury at Friday's practice and shouldn't miss much time, according to reporting from Bill Huber of Wilson, the team's backup running back behind Josh Jacobs last season, went down awkwardly while attempting to catch a pass during a team period on Friday. Despite initial concerns of a major injury, it appears Wilson avoided a worst-case scenario and will eventually return during training camp. Huber described the injury as a "tweak" and reported there is "no damage" inside the knee. The Packers are already without running back MarShawn Lloyd, who injured his groin during the team's first padded practice of the week and is expected to miss time into next week. Wilson rushed 103 times for 502 yards and four touchdowns and caught 11 passes for 48 yards and another touchdown across 17 games last season. The Packers also have veteran Chris Brooks, rookies Jalen White and Amir Johnson and recent addition Israel Abanikanda at running back behind Jacobs entering the team's Family Night practice at Lambeau Field on Saturday. The Packers open the preseason next Saturday at Lambeau Field against the New York Jets. This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury

Browns QB has absurdly bad training camp practice
The Cleveland Browns' quarterback battle is taking clearer shape after over a week of training camp practices. Quarterback Joe Flacco seems to be leading the way, especially after Kenny Pickett went down with a hamstring injury and has yet to return to team drills. Another one of the four quarterbacks had a particularly bad practice on Friday. Dillon Gabriel struggled heavily on Friday, going 3-of-14 in team drills, per ESPN Cleveland. Struggles continued into Saturday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. "Dillon Gabriel is again getting a lot of work in team drills," Oyefusi posted on X. "Led the 2s vs. the 2s after Flacco and didn't find a completion from about a half-dozen attempts outside of a check down. Led one play with the first-team offensive line and is now leading the 3s, where he just had 2 straight completions to end the session." These struggles could lead to more opportunities for Shedeur Sanders, but it looks like Flacco is in the driver's seat to be the No. 1 quarterback for Week 1.
