Both Wentz and Nelson were given a five- to twelve-week timetable for recovery, but it was reported on Wednesday morning that both could be ready for the Colts’ Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. What Wentz and Nelson’s return means for the Colts Carson Wentz, who is already back at the Colts’ training facility, is expected to begin rehabbing his foot injury next week.

In his fourth career postseason game, Lindor hit his second home run, and his two-run blast in the sixth inning Friday accounted for all the scoring in Cleveland’s 2-0 win over Toronto. The No. 3 hitter for the American League Central champions, Lindor is a superstar in the making — and a joy to watch. “It’s a blast,” said Cleveland starter Corey Kluber, who scattered six hits over 6 1/3 innings to run his playoff tally to 13 1/3 scoreless frames with a pair of wins....

On Reddit, Infinity Ward’s Joel Emslie revealed that the team is looking into the problem. While he wasn’t sure whether the fix was ready to go or still being worked on, it at least means that the developer is acknowledging the issue, and a change should be in the pipeline. Fan feedback to player collision was harsh, especially after videos of players trolling their teammates in Modern Warfare by pushing them into enemy fire started to circulate online....

Upfront, Vince Zampella has said he’s happy to see something he was a part of be worthy of a reboot in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and he is confident that the new Infinity Ward team is rebooting the franchise “for the right reasons.” Some of Zameplla’s biggest concerns, however, center around the reception of the return of Captain Price, and how the response to the game, as a whole, will impact the legacy of the franchise....

REPORT: Man Utd breeze past Burnley Though few would argue Ibrahimovic deserves a far better farewell than watching on from the sidelines – particularly with the Europa League final taking place in his home city of Stockholm next month – but the truth is that Jose Mourinho’s young guns have finally found their feet without him. Against both Chelsea and Anderlecht, Marcus Rashford came to the fore as he was given the freedom to run in behind from a central position and instil the same fear into opposition defenders as he had done during the latter part of last season....

Since Wonder Woman is receiving her own event in Injustice 2 in order to promote the heroine’s forthcoming movie, it stands to reason that the fighting game will also host another event later this fall prior to Justice League hitting theaters.

Boon’s new profile picture on Twitter features the Roman numeral “II” - which seems like an obvious nod to Injustice 2. A fan inquired about it, and Boon suggested the profile picture is instead a reference to Mortal Kombat 11, but if it were, Boon wouldn’t be saying so, making it all the more likely that Injustice 2 is set for a proper reveal soon. Previous rumors point to Injustice 2 releasing in March 2017, which means that a reveal at E3 next week seems like the most likely scenario....
