1+ min ago (269+ words) For the first time this season, the New Orleans Saints won't have running back Alvin Kamara on the field when they take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 13. Kamara sustained knee and ankle injuries in Week 12 that forced his early exit from the game. Kamara was unable to log a single practice this past week before he was ruled out. Here's what we know about Kamara's injury and return timeline moving forward. We do not have an answer to this question yet. But, based on the fact that Kamara didn't practice at all this past week, we would say he has a less than 50/50 shot to play in Week 14. The good news is, the Saints didn't place him on injured reserve, so they don't expect him to be out more than three games. Knowing that, Kamara could return as early…...

Polesitter Oscar'Piastri'had looked settled in the lead of the race and, owing to the difficulty of overtaking around the Losail circuit, the Australian was in prime position to make good on his track position. But the race was turned on its head when Nico Hulkenberg clashed with Pierre Gasly, which produced a safety car. As this had occurred on the seventh lap, this was at the point where the drivers could do their two stops and fulfil the maximum 25-lap stint length. All but'Piastri'and Norris took as an opportunity to call into the pitlane. This forced both…...

Even an excellent match between Dominik Mysterio and John Cena couldn't save the overall PLE from feeling flat. What the show did do well, though, was start to sow the seeds for next year's WrestleMania season. Going into the weekend, we had very little clue what might be around the corner in Las Vegas. Now we can see a clear path to two massive main events on the men's side, including Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns III. It's true that Rhodes vs. Reigns is a bit of an obvious choice. In fact, it's exactly what ChatGPT came up with when I asked it to generate a suitably…...

Verstappen won to take his seventh win of the season, equalling Norris and Piastri, while the Australian was second and the Briton fourth behind the Williams of Carlos Sainz. Norris won himself an extra two points by passing Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes on the penultimate lap. Norris has been left with a 12-point lead over Verstappen, who moved ahead of Piastri by four…...

Coastal opened 6-3 but dropped three straight to end the regular season and was outscored 110-17 across its final two games.
