Athletics prospect Ryan Lasko said Monday that he has regained some feeling in his legs nearly four weeks after he broke his back during a scary collision with a teammate during a Double-A game.

Lasko, 24, was playing center field for Midland on June 30 when he dove for a ball and collided with right fielder Devin Taylor, who also dove. Lasko laid motionless on the field for approximately 10 minutes before being carted off.

Lasko underwent spinal surgery later that night at a hospital in Plano, Texas to repair a fractured C6-C7 vertebra. Doctors were hopeful he would regain movement in the lower half of his body and Lasko said Monday that is occurring.

“I’m currently feeling much better,” Lasko wrote on Instagram. “I have sensation from my feet up to my knees, along with a lot of involuntary leg movements. I also have been getting some sensation in the side of my thighs, hamstrings and back. I currently have about 75% usage of my left hand and about 50% in my right.

“I’m very happy with my progress and once again, so very thankful for all the love and support. It has continued to help me get up every day and work my hardest.”

Lasko was a second-round pick out of Rutgers in 2023 and is rated as the Athletics’ No. 27 prospect by MLB Pipeline, dropping from No. 18 the day he was hurt. He is batting .209 with six homers and 34 RBIs in 73 games this season.

Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy insists he wasn’t weighing in on Cleveland’s starting quarterback battle during a livestream clip that quickly went viral.

Jeudy flashes four fingers in the TikTok video, taken by many to indicate his support for the player who wears that jersey number, Deshaun Watson.

“Yall cut the clip perfectly for that narrative,” Jeudy posted Sunday on X, referencing the apparent skip in the clip between when the question is posed and when Jeudy holds up his fingers.

Jeudy, 27, who is entering his third season with the Browns, said he will not weigh in as new head coach Todd Monken and his staff evaluate the training camp competition between Watson and Shedeur Sanders.

“I don’t speak on decisions that aren’t mine to make. I support my teammates/Brothers, I do my job, and control what I can control,” Jeudy posted on X. “Let’s stop creating narrative that aren’t there for likes and clicks. I bet this won’t go viral because it’s too positive/real for y’all.”

Jeudy caught 50 passes for 602 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (16 starts) in 2025, when Watson missed the entire season with a torn Achilles. Jeudy made the Pro Bowl in his first season with Cleveland in 2024, setting career highs in catches (90) and receiving yards (1,229).

Report: Michigan AD Warde Manuel's buyout tops $7M

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel walks on the court after 96-66 win over USC at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Friday, Jan. 2, 2026.Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel walks on the court after 96-66 win over USC at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Friday, Jan. 2, 2026.

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel’s separation agreement reportedly includes a lump sum payment of more than $7 million.

Other perks will include a $108,000 contribution to his retirement account and $82,000 toward attorney fees as well as eligibility for tickets to Wolverines games and golf privileges, The Associated Press reported Monday.

Manuel is stepping down at the end of 2026, with the university announcing last week it is buying out the final three years on his contract.

Manuel, 58, who has held the position since 2016, has agreed not to work as an athletic director or senior athletic adviser for another Big Ten program for two years after the date of his voluntary resignation on Dec. 31, per the report. He is allowed to take a job outside of the conference with no penalty.

Highlights of Manuel’s time in Ann Arbor included national championships in football and men’s basketball, but his tenure was ultimately engulfed in controversy thanks to a sign-stealing scandal involving former football coach Jim Harbaugh’s staff and an improper relationship with a staff member by Harbaugh’s successor, Sherrone Moore.

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy’s wife is hospitalized in stable condition in Virginia after being shot by the couple’s son in their home on Sunday night, ESPN reported.

A woman identified by ESPN’s sources as Mia Bieniemy, 57, was being treated for “serious injuries” in Loudoun County, where a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said police responded to a call at 7:32 p.m. ET Sunday in Ashburn, Va.

The Chiefs said they are aware of the incident involving the family of their 56-year-old assistant coach, who was with the club for training camp on Sunday in St. Joseph, Mo., but was not in attendance on Monday.

Elijah Zion Bieniemy, 27, was arrested on charges of malicious wounding, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and discharge of a firearm inside a dwelling, according to the sheriff’s office. He is being held without bond.

Eric Bieniemy rejoined head coach Andy Reid’s staff in January after previous stints with Kansas City as the running backs coach (2013-17) and offensive coordinator (2018-22). He helped the Chiefs win Super Bowls LIV and LVII.

He coached the Chicago Bears’ running backs in 2025 and previously served as the OC for UCLA (2024), the Washington Commanders (2023) and his alma mater Colorado (2011-12).
