Martellus Bennett reportedly has been playing with torn rotator cuff, labrum



After the Packers released Martellus Bennett as a result of "failure to disclose a physical condition," the Patriots claimed the veteran tight end and now it appears Bennett has been playing with a torn rotator cuff and torn labrum. 
The news was first reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and later confirmed by ESPN's Adam Schefter. According to Rapoport, Bennett could try to play through the injury, but if his efforts are unsuccessful the Patriots could put him on injured reserve at "no risk."
The Patriots claimed Bennett, 30, off of waivers just a day after he was released by the Packers. It will cost New England less than $725,000 to have him on their roster for the rest of the season because of the way Bennett's contract is structured. The veteran played for the Patriots in 2016 and had an integral role in the team's Super Bowl championship season. 
In claiming Bennett, the Patriots inherited the three-year, $21 million contract that he had signed with the Packers, according to ESPN. If the Patriots do not pick up a $2 million bonus early in the 2018 league year, Bennett would become a free agent again and the Patriots would not have to make any commitments on their salary cap.

Guardiola vows to ”kill” Man City team if they fail to win EPL

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has vowed to kill his players if they fail to finish the English Premier League (EPL) season without the title. Guardiola said there was no chance of his team becoming complacent despite their superb form to the start of the season. Manchester City continued their EPL dominance with a 2-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday. City have made a flying start to the season, dropping just two points from the first 12 games and are 8-point lead at the top of the table, scoring 40 goals and conceding just seven. “That is not going to happen because I am their manager,” Guardiola said. “The team, that is not going to happen. I’ll kill them. Complacency doesn’t happen in my teams. “They can play bad, teams are going to beat us, that happens. “But if you see the team, they have the desire to have the ball and play. We are not a team that speculates about absolutely anything. That’s not going to happen.”

Following the crew fight in Dubai last night, Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law has called on Wizkid and Davido to sheathe their swords and embrace peace. Seyi Law shared a picture of the duo and wrote; “To @wizkidayo and @davidoofficial Our lives are nothing, but the memories we create. Your celebrity status or starboyism is only a perception. Whether you’re the best or the worst, not everyone will agree. Don’t start hatred neither should you fan the fire of hate. Someday, our bodies will end up six feet below. Just above it, our memories will live fading with time. Sheathe your swords and embrace PEACE. Build legacies and write your names as legends. Don’t die prematurely for people’s obsessions. Both of you are doing awesomely well, don’t stop. Bless You. SEYILAW.”
