Reuben Foster Injured At Redskins' Practice ... Carted Off W/ Cast On Leg
More bad news for Reuben Foster ... the Washington Redskins LB was carted off the field Monday after suffering a scary injury during his first practice ever with the team.
Reporters on the scene say the ex-Alabama star -- who the 'Skins just picked up a few months ago after the 49ers cut him -- injured his left leg during an on-field play.
Foster reportedly was pushed to the ground ... and was in clear and obvious pain afterward -- punching the grass and screaming out loud.

Trainers put Foster's leg in a cast and carted him off the field ... and it's unclear right now how severe the injury is -- but things don't look good.
It's another piece of bad news for Foster -- who's dealt with multiple issues the past two years including two separate domestic violence incidents as well as a marijuana arrest.
Foster appeared to have all his troubles behind him after signing with the Redskins back in November -- the NFL said he would NOT be suspended after his most recent domestic violence arrest -- and he looked poised to be a starter for Washington this season.

DaBaby's security team is in big trouble because the man they viciously beat Friday night could die ... according to his mother.
The victim -- whose performing name in Don Trag -- is currently in the hospital and in a coma, according to his mother. The mother tells us, her son was actually performing in Lawrence, Massachusetts the night he was beaten. Don Trag's brother, who's also a rapper, says all Don Trag wanted was to take a photo with DaBaby when his security went nuts on him with a ferocious pounding.
Don Trag's brother says he has significant brain and neck swelling and "is not doing well." His mom says things are even more ominous. She says 22-year-old Don Trag was at her home outside Boston Saturday -- hours after the attack -- when he collapsed.
As we reported, Don Trag had been taken to the hospital right after the attack, but released and went to his mom's home.
As we reported, the incident went down at Centro Nightclub, just before DaBaby was about to take the stage. Our DaBaby sources told us Don Trag got aggressive and that's when his security stepped in. DaBaby looked on as Don Trag got thrashed.
Police showed up after the attack, but none of the witnesses wanted to cooperate.
Don Trag's mom says of the attackers, "These people are animals." The mom says they've already been in touch with a lawyer.

MMA Star Sage Northcutt Surgery for 8 Fractures ... After MMA Knockout
Sage Northcutt was destroyed way more than anyone thought after a 29-second, first-round knockout in his ONE Championship debut -- turns out he suffered 8 fractures and was in surgery for 9 hours to repair the damage.
Northcutt posted a horrific pic of the aftermath ... hooked up to all sorts of stuff post-op in the hospital.
Sage's debut was a disaster ... the 23-year-old took a devastating punch at the hands of Cosmo Alexandre to the face, sending him to the canvas with a thunderous face plant. Clearly, the punch did damage, but the face plant may have exacerbated things.
He posted the hospital pic, saying, "Fresh out of surgery ... I had 8 fractures and a nine hour intense operation. Feeling blessed for the amazing care and all the support from ONE championship, my family/friends and fans!"
It's surprising ... because Sage got up under his own power and stood there as the ref raised Alexandre's hand and declared him the winner.
Sage was cut from the UFC after a lackluster run ... UFC honcho Dana White said Northcutt just didn't cut muster and needed to work on his game.
No word -- obviously -- on Sage's future ... whether or when he'll return to ONE championship.

Garden Bros Circus Acrobat Dodged Death, But Will Need Surgery ... Hopeful for Comeback
4:40 PM PT -- Carlos' surgery went well and he was released from the hospital.
The Garden Bros Circus performer who nearly front flipped into a deadly fall during a steel pendulum act is about to go under the knife.
TMZ's learned the 31-year-old acrobat, named Carlos, initially thought he'd escaped unscathed after that nasty fall he suffered Monday night in Toledo. Carlos tells us he had a series of tests and scans immediately after the accident that didn't show any major injury.
Then on Wednesday, further testing revealed a fracture in his left foot near the ankle.
Carlos says doctors recommended surgery, requiring a plate and screws to set everything in place, and it'll be about 6 weeks before he can walk on the foot afterward. He's nervous but hopeful ... saying he plans to return to performing, because it's all he's done since he was 17.
Despite the fact several spotters failed to break his fall, Carlos says he doesn't blame anyone for the scary mishap -- he's chalking it up to timing and says it was just an accident. He doesn't really remember what went wrong ... he's just thankful he landed feet first and not on his head.
His surgery is scheduled for later Thursday, and Carlos says Garden Bros is covering the medical costs.

Garden Bros Circus Stuntman Falls During Wheel Act ... The Show Must Go On!!!
10:55 AM PT -- A rep for the show tells us the performer got X-rays and results confirmed nothing was broken. He will get an MRI later Tuesday ... and he'll be sore for a while.
Crazy video here of a circus acrobat who plummeted to the ground in the middle of a dangerous, death-defying act ... bringing the circus to an abrupt halt -- but the miracle is somehow the guy survived.
The acrobat was part of the Garden Bros Circus performing in Toledo, Ohio Monday night at the Huntington Center. In this exclusive footage, obtained by TMZ, you can see the guy and his partner pulling insane moves in and outside of giant spinning wheels -- kinda like human hamsters, if hamsters could do flips.
The crowd screamed in horror though when one of the guys slipped while doing a front flip on top of the spinning wheel. He did not stick the landing and crashed to the ground.
Fortunately for him, the fall happened as his end of the apparatus was closer to the ground ... as opposed to its highest point, which seems to have seriously helped the dude. Spotters couldn't do much to break his fall.
His partner eventually got out of his own wheel and rushed down a ladder to help.
Paramedics quickly responded too ... and according to Huntington Center brass, the performer was released from a hospital with minor injuries. As of now, he's set to return for Tuesday night's show.

The gruesome injury Meghan Markle's nephew suffered is definitely NOT for the squeamish ... and TMZ's got video of it in the aftermath of a massive drunken brawl.
It all went down a week ago at around 11 PM outside the Wonder Bur Lounge in Grants Pass, Oregon, where Meghan's nephew, Tyler Dooley, somehow got dragged into a street fight that ballooned 20 people strong ... this according to a police report obtained by TMZ.
It's unclear what triggered the fight, but cops say Dooley was shoved to the ground and somehow broke his left ankle in spectacular form. If ya got the stomach for it ... check out the vid.
You can see Dooley tried walking it off ... but he can't stand on his own two feet cause his ankle's mangled. Cops say he was so drunk he didn't feel the pain from his ankle practically snapping off. Dooley was taken to a hospital and nobody was arrested.
Witnesses tell us as he was being wheeled inside the ambulance he said, "I have a Rolex. I can pay for this." Again, he was drunk.

The singer was holding a Q&A session for the 2019 Texas Frightmare Weekend. Meat was making his way across the stage Saturday when he suddenly lost his balance and started tumbling. You could see the shock and horror on his face, immediately.

Harvey Weinstein Accuser Paz de la Huerta Rushed to Hospital
6:13 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the person who called 911 stated Paz was suicidal.
Paz de la Huerta -- one of Harvey Weinstein's accusers -- was hospitalized Sunday after she allegedly locked herself in a room ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us the actress was rushed from an Upper West Side building to an area hospital around late afternoon after a third party called 911 to report "an emotionally disturbed person" who needed help. We're told that person was Paz.
According to our sources, the 911 caller said Paz had locked herself in a bedroom and wanted NYPD to respond so she could get medical attention.
We're told cops and EMS responded quickly and transported Paz to a nearby hospital for treatment. It's unclear what her condition is at this point, or what exactly led up to the episode -- but we're working on getting further details.
Paz is one of several women who've accused the disgraced movie producer of sexual harassment and sexual assault. She filed a lawsuit against him claiming that he sexually assaulted her on two different occasions in 2010 -- with one of those times resulting in an alleged rape.
Of course, Weinstein is facing criminal charges related to other allegations of sexual assault in NYC -- not related to Paz's claims. His trial has been pushed back to September.

Baby Burro Suffers Ass Injury On Barbed Wire Fence
Remember the puppies dumped in a Coachella trash bin??? The same team that helped rescue them is at it again ... rescuing this baby burro which is proving to be a real, tough ass.
Riverside County Animal Services tells TMZ ... the 3-day-old female donkey was found in the middle of the road Wednesday in the San Jacinto Mountains, about 3 hours southeast of L.A. We're told the person who found it brought it home after noticing a big cut ... on the burro's butt.
The good Samaritan -- who said he coaxed the animal to follow him home -- told officials the donkey was alone and its mother nowhere in sight. A veterinary team from Animal Services scooped up the animal and treated the laceration. Officials think it was cut on a barbed wire fence.
The burro's now in the hands of veterinarian Sharon Gonzales, who volunteered to foster the beast ... no burden. Turns out she already has 2 others at home.
Of course, Riverside County Animal Services got the public to help identify the heartless bitch caught on camera throwing a bag of 7 puppies in a dumpster last month. Authorities ultimately arrested Deborah Sue Culwell, who faces 7 felony counts of animal cruelty.

Surf Legend Sunny Garcia Hospitalized ... After Suicide Attempt

12:28 PM PT -- The World Surf League has confirmed Garcia was hospitalized after a suicide attempt.
In the past, Garcia has talked publicly about his struggles with depression and even asked fans for advice on treatment.
Surf legend Sunny Garcia -- a 6-time winner of the Triple Crown of Surfing -- is fighting for his life in a Portland hospital, the World Surf League has confirmed.
The 49-year-old was admitted to the hospital in Oregon on Monday. Details about his condition were not made public.
WSL says Garcia is currently in intensive care.
Garcia is one of the most beloved people in pro surfing. He grew up in Hawaii -- and became close friends with fellow surf stars like Kelly Slater and Jamie O'Brien.
He's an absolute STUD in the water -- winning the World Surf League's world championship in 2000. He was inducted into the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.
Garcia also became the 2nd pro surfer in history to win more than $1 million in prize money -- which is a HUGE accomplishment.
Outside of the water, Sunny had some issues over the years -- he served time in prison in 2007 in a tax evasion case.
Years later, Garcia said the takeaway from that experience was "never trust your CPA ... don't trust anybody for that matter."
Garcia has talked about how much he loved his family and how one of his biggest fears would be to lose them.
He's also a religious guy who attends church "every once in a while."
Garcia has also pushed hard for people to come and surf in Hawaii over the years -- but he's big on people having respect for the Hawaiian culture.
"Come, enjoy and be respectful, yeah -- if you can be that then we welcome you with open arms. But, if you're gonna come and piss in my backyard, you might get a slap in the head."

Ezekiel Elliott Rushes to Kid Hit By Puck ... At NHL Playoff Game
Ezekiel Elliott saw a kid get hit by a hockey puck at the Dallas Stars playoff game on Monday ... so he jumped into action and raced over to make sure the little boy was okay.
Don't worry, the kid appears to be fine -- and now he's got selfies with Zeke!
Unclear exactly when the kid was hit by the puck -- or how serious the impact was -- but Elliott (who's been a regular at the Stars games) made his way over to the boy in the 3rd period to check in on him.
The Dallas Cowboys superstar thought snappin' a pic with the youngster would help sooth the oncoming bruise ... and guess what?? IT DID!!
You can see in the video ... the boy cracks a smile as Zeke daps him up and busts out the phone for a few pics. His family seemed happy with the gesture too.
Elliott also made sure another fan who was hit by the puck ricochet got some love as well.
It's not like Zeke works for the Stars and was sent over by management to diffuse the situation -- just a famous guy who was trying to help out. Seems like it worked.
The bad news ... the Stars lost the game 4-3 ... and are now down in the series 2-1.
