Hollands returns as Blues brace for heartbreaking news
Carlton will welcome Elijah Hollands back to club's AFL program this week but they are bracing to receive bad news when youngster Harry O'Farrell undergoes scans on his injured left knee. O'Farrell suffered a suspected ACL tear after landing awkwardly from a marking contest in Sunday's 27-point loss to Fremantle. The No.40 pick from last year's national draft had made huge progress at the Blues this season, and coach Michael Voss said he was shattered to see the 19-year-old cut down in just his sixth game. The injury came just minutes after O'Farrell had kicked his maiden AFL goal. Harry O'Farrell's first AFL goal 🥹#AFLFreoBlues — Carlton FC (@CarltonFC) August 3, 2025 "The highs and lows of football, it's got a great way of being able to lift you up, and it's got a very nasty way of being able to bring you down as well," Voss said. "But that sort of resilience and grit over time. you learn through your career. "Sometimes you get things when you don't want it to show up, and they show up, and this is what might have shown up for him. "We'll support him. We'll wrap our arms around him. "He's not a massive man yet, but his ability to be able to read the game - he's just a natural footballer. "The players just love playing with him, because he's super reliable." Harry O'Farrell has come from the ground following this contest.#AFLFreoBlues — AFL (@AFL) August 3, 2025 Hollands took leave in March for a personal matter, then returned for a block of five matches before taking another period of indefinite leave in May. The 23-year-old former Sun will return to the AFL program this week with the view of playing in the VFL. "He'll come back into the club this week," Voss said. "He's been hovering around the VFL, doing a bit of that. He'll be back this week and playing VFL football this week." When asked if Hollands could make it back to AFL level before the season ended, Voss replied: "Possibly, but we've only got three games left. "He'll come back and play some VFL football. He's been training pretty hard, so he'll be ready to go." Carlton (7-13) will be back in action on action on Saturday night against Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium, before rounding out their season with matches against Port Adelaide (home) and Essendon.

Dolphins sign OL Germain Ifedi with starter Austin Jackson out several weeks with an injury
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Dolphins starting offensive tackle Austin Jackson will miss several weeks with a leg injury after being stepped on at practice but is expected to return by Miami's season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 7. Coach Mike McDaniel said the injury isn't related to the knee injury that sidelined Jackson for the final eight games in 2024. 'He got the injury playing football," McDaniel said Sunday. 'Got stepped on. Has nothing to do with anything but that. With Austin, the bottom line for me where he's at — out of all the guys, I would say — he had some time off, he knocked some rust off, he got back and in my opinion exceeded where he was playing before, so we're fortunate that timetable doesn't seen to be into the regular season.' With the injury, the Dolphins signed veteran offensive lineman Germain Ifedi on Sunday. Ifedi, who has played at guard and tackle, has 90 starts with Cleveland, Chicago and Seattle. The team also waived quarterback Brett Gabbert and activated safety Ifeatu Melifonwu off the non-football injury list. Melifonwu has missed the start of training camp, but will be a needed addition to the Dolphins secondary, which has had cornerback Kader Kohou (season-ending knee injury) and safety Ashtyn Davis (leg) go down in the first few weeks of practice. In other injury news, Jaelan Phillips, who missed most of the past two seasons with separate Achilles tendon and ACL injuries, suffered a bruise to one of his legs during practice, but McDaniel said the linebacker is only expected to miss a couple of days as the swelling goes down. ___

Photo byHow to Watch Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm Date: Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025 Time: 3:00 PM EDT Channel: ABC, ESPN Deportes Stream: Fubo (Watch now!) The Fever have won four in a row, the best current win streak in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark, being sidelined by injury, has barely been a blip on the radar for the team as Kelsey Mitchell has stepped up. Midseason acquisition Aari McDonald has been a revelation at point guard, setting the Fever up to potentially be a title contender if Clark can come back near 100 percent. The Storm are 5-5 over their past 10 games. While the starting lineup is among the league's best with Skylar Diggins, Nneka Ogwumike, Ezi Magbegor, Gabby Williams, and Erica Wheeler, depth concerns have really hurt the team. In Friday's 108-106 double-overtime loss to the Sparks, only one starter played fewer than 39 minutes.
