Aaron Rodgers What Torn Achilles?!? No Limp Or Crutches 8 Weeks After Injury

Published | Updated

UPDATE

3:20 PM PT -- Rodgers wasn't just walking tall before the game ... he was also back on the field slinging the football around -- which is another great sign for Jets fans.

The quarterback dropped back a few times and let some passes fly ... putting weight on his left leg as he followed through.

It's definitely trending in the right direction for Rodgers!!

Aaron Rodgers is recovering from his torn Achilles at a mind-blowing speed -- the New York Jets QB was spotted walking completely normal ahead of his team's Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers ... just 56 days after going down with the injury.

AR8 was in great spirits as he made his way through the MetLife Stadium tunnels just minutes ago ... showing no signs of limping or needing to use a cart, as he did for previous games.

Of course, the four-time MVP ruptured his leg tendon just four plays into his first season with the Jets on September 11. Many assumed his season was over, but the 39-year-old vowed to get back on the field ASAP -- even revealing he was going to try to play again during the 2023-24 campaign.

It sounded crazy at the time, but Rodgers might really be onto something -- he also spent some time throwing the pigskin on the field before the Jets game last month.

WARMING UP

It's not the first time we've seen Aaron walking without crutches -- he was able to move around slowly just three weeks after the ailment ... but now, it looks like he's walking perfectly.

Rodgers said last week he's crushing rehab and ahead of schedule ... but still has a "long way to go."

So far, so good!!

DANIEL JONES FUERA DE LA TEMPORADA TRAS DESGARRARSE EL LIGAMENTO

Published | Updated

Las cosas siguen empeorando para los Gigantes de Nueva York. Eñ mariscal de campo Daniel Jones  —que firmó una extensión de contrato esta temporada— se rompió el ligamento cruzado anterior durante la derrota por goleada del domingo.

El entrenador en jefe de los NYG, Brian Daboll, reveló los resultados de la resonancia magnética el lunes, anunciando que el mariscal de campo de 26 años se someterá a una cirugía para reparar el desgarro que sufrió contra los Raiders en Las Vegas.

Daboll, en su segunda temporada como HC de los Giants, temió que el diagnóstico fuera grave después de ver cómo la rodilla de Jones se doblaba en la primera mitad.

"Es duro. Nunca quieres que tus chicos caigan", dijo Daboll en la conferencia de prensa posterior al partido del domingo.

"Ha trabajado muy duro para volver y es desafortunado".

Jones jugaba en su primer partido de vuelta desde que se lesionó el cuello varias semanas antes, lo que le obligó a perderse un puñado de partidos.

La devastadora lesión se produce pocos meses después de que DJ firmara un contrato de cuatro años por un valor de 160 millones de dólares esta temporada baja, luego de una gran temporada 2022, la mejor de su carrera.

La campaña 2023 de Jones, antes del desgarro del LCA, había sido muy diferente. Daniel lanzó para solo 909 yardas y dos touchdowns, mientras que lanzó 6 intercepciones. Para ser justos, fue saqueado 30 veces.

La lesión deja a los Gigantes con solo un QB en la lista. Tyrod Taylor está en el hospital con una lesión en las costillas que sufrió en la octava semana, dejando al novato no reclutado Tommy DeVito como el único QB saludable.

DeVito, nativo de Nueva Jersey, lanzó para 175 yardas y un touchdown el domingo. También hizo dos picks.

¡Mejórate, DJ!

Daniel Jones Out For Season After Tearing ACL ... Months After $160M Ext

Published

Things keep getting worse for the New York Giants ... franchise quarterback Daniel Jones -- who inked a massive contract extension this offseason -- tore his ACL during Sunday's blowout loss and is done for the year.

NYG head coach Brian Daboll revealed the MRI results on Monday, announcing the 26-year-old signal caller will undergo surgery to repair a torn ACL that he suffered against the Raiders in Las Vegas.

Daboll, in his second season as Giants HC, feared the diagnosis was serious after watching Jones' knee buckle in the first half.

"Tough. You never want your guys to go down," Daboll said in Sunday's post-game press conference.

"He's worked really hard to get back and it's unfortunate."

Jones was playing in his first game back since injuring his neck several weeks earlier, forcing him to miss a handful of games.

The devastating injury comes just months after DJ signed a 4-year contract worth $160 million this offseason ... after a career-best 2022 season.

Jones' 2023 campaign, before the ACL tear, had been very different. Daniel threw for just 909 yards and 2 touchdowns, while throwing 6 interceptions. In fairness, he was sacked 30 times.

The injury leaves the Giants with only one QB on the active roster ... backup Tyrod Taylor is on the IR with a rib injury he suffered in Week 8, leaving undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito as the only healthy QB.

DeVito, a New Jersey native, threw for 175 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. He also had two picks.

Get well, DJ!

Damar Hamlin Emotional Postgame Moment First Return to Cincinnati

Published | Updated

Damar Hamlin made his first return to Paycor Stadium since suffering cardiac arrest back in January ... and the Buffalo Bills safety was visibly emotional as he reflected on his journey in a postgame moment on the field.

25-year-old Hamlin -- a healthy scratch from the Bills' 24-18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals -- made his way onto the field after Sunday's matchup ... crouching down near the spot he collapsed and needed resuscitating last season.

"Head Clear. Blessed & Highly Favored. Thank You," Hamlin said on social media alongside a short clip of his time on the grass.

It was a special night for Hamlin -- he also embraced several Bengals players before the game ... smiling from ear-to-ear as he dapped them up.

"Tonight was everything for me," Hamlin said on X. "Y'all don’t know the half of it. Trust me."

Hamlin also took his return as an opportunity to do something really special -- announcing scholarships named after the 10 medical professionals who brought him back to life ... and enjoying a dinner with the heroes over the weekend.

The $1,000 scholarships will help young kids in Cincinnati over the next three years.

RAY J LLEVA A SU MADRE AL HOSPITAL Mala reacción a la terapia intravenosa

Published

La madre de Ray J, Sonja Norwood, se está recuperando de una mala reacción a algo que es, en general, algo saludable. Un error al realizar un tratamiento llamado IV en casa se convirtió en una situación de emergencia, TMZ ha indagado.

El drama se desarrolló cuando Sonja comenzó a sentirse mareada después del tratamiento IV, que está destinado a entregar las vitaminas esenciales y nutrientes directamente al torrente sanguíneo.

Es una tendencia de salud y bienestar popularizada por las celebridades en los últimos años y, hace unas semanas, Sonja decidió entrar en la acción.

Por desgracia, nos informan que Sonja tuvo que recostarse debido a que su respiración se aceleró repentinamente. Su familia llamó a una ambulancia por la preocupación.

La revisaron en el hospital y finalmente se recuperó.

La terapia intravenosa que recibió fue una mezcla de vitaminas C y B, así como calcio y magnesio. Se supone que esto se hace para estimular el sistema inmunológico de un paciente, pero los efectos secundarios pueden incluir infecciones, erupciones cutáneas, coágulos de sangre, embolia gaseosa entre otras dolencias.

Allá por 2018, Kendall Jenner también fue hospitalizada tras una mala reacción a una terapia de vitaminas intravenosas.

RAY J RUSHES MOM TO HOSPITAL ... Bad Reaction to IV Therapy

Published

Ray J's mom, Sonja Norwood, is recovering from a bad reaction to something that's, generally speaking, good for you -- a home IV drip that turned into an emergency situation ... TMZ has learned.

The health drama unfolded when Sonja began feeling light-headed after the IV treatment ... which is meant to deliver essential vitamins and nutrients directly to the bloodstream.

It's a health and wellness trend popularized by celebs in recent years, and a few weeks ago ... Sonja decided to get in on the action.

Unfortunately, we're told there was no wellness involved that day ... as Sonja had to lie down due to sudden rapid breathing, which prompted her family, including Ray, to call an ambulance out of concern.

She got checked out at the hospital and, eventually, she was okay.

The IV therapy she got was a mix of C and B vitamins, as well as calcium and magnesium. It's meant to boost a patient's immune system, but side effects can include infection, rashes, blood clots, air embolism and more.

Back in 2018, Kendall Jenner was also hospitalized following a bad reaction to an IV vitamin drip. Some people just might be better off sticking to vitamins from a bottle.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Held For Psych Evaluation ... Allegedly Downed Pills

Published | Updated

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former boxing champ and son of one of Mexico's greatest-ever athletes, was recently treated at a psych hospital after his wife told police he consumed dozens of pills, and she was scared for his safety.

Sources tell TMZ Sports 37-year-old Chavez Jr.'s wife, Frida Chavez, contacted police in the Hollywood area on October 24 ... after she became worried about her hubby's health.

Frida -- who was previously married to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's late son, Edgar Guzman Lopez -- told cops she believed Julio ingested a large amount of potent and potentially dangerous medication ... and wanted medics to check him out.

Rescuers were dispatched and were able to contact Chavez Jr.

It's unclear exactly what happened, but Julio wasn't permitted to leave after officials determined Chavez Jr. needed to go to a psychiatric facility for treatment, known as a 5150 in California.

The law allows certain officials (police officers, doctors, etc.), should they believe someone to be "a danger to others, or to themselves, or gravely disabled" to be held for up to 72 hours "for assessment, evaluation, and crisis intervention."

Chavez Jr.'s family is clearly concerned for his health. In fact, his dad, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., recently expressed fear for his son's well-being during a podcast appearance.

"I feel sorry for him, because his children are little and he's not enjoying them. It hurts me that he's going to go crazy, that he's going to have an accident driving at 12-1 in the morning at full speed, that he's going to have a heart attack from all the pills he takes," Chavez Sr. said on the Bromeando con los Rivera show.

Speaking of Sr., while Chavez Jr. never reached the athletic heights of his legendary father, he was still an accomplished boxer, holding the WBC middleweight title in 2011 and 2012.

Julio, 53-6-1, last fought against David Zegarra in December 2021 -- a fight he won by unanimous decision.

'TAN MOM' PATRICIA KRENTCIL Back On Campaign Trail After Scary Surgery ... Senate Bid Rolls On!!!

Published

Tan Mom Patricia Krentcil is on the mend after a very risky surgical procedure ... and she's gearing up to get back on the campaign trail as she runs for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida.

Tan Mom's campaign manager, Adam Barta tells TMZ ... she was admitted to a hospital in Boca Raton last Monday for bypass surgery to remove the stent separating her pancreas and liver.

We're told Tan Mom previously had the stent inserted because of her pancreatitis, and when doctors removed it this time, her organs had major swelling and caused her a ton of pain.

What's more, we're told doctors discovered gallstones stuck by her liver during the surgery ... and she's going to have to go back under the knife in the future to address the issue.

Tan Mom's camp characterized the procedure as "very risky" for her ... and we're told she's recovering at home and recently regained her ability to walk.

We're told Tan Mom's hoping next week she'll be feeling well enough to make her scheduled campaign stops as she runs for one of Florida's seats in the U.S. Senate. She's filming a new campaign video next week with Dr. Miami, who did her makeover in her reality series, "Tan to 10."

Tan Mom's made healthcare one of the most important issues of her campaign ... and she's got some recent experience dealing with the system.

WIPE-OUT PORTA-POTTY On Skates!!! Takes 💩 Turn for Spectator

COMIN' THROUGH!

If you think just using a porta-potty is rough ... grab some TP, because you're about to see a woman get crushed by a porta-potty on wheels, and it's definitely a memory she'd love to flush!!!

A group of stuntmen, known as the @madhouseboys on IG, took part in a Thrasher Magazine event called The Halloween Hellbomb skating/costume competition -- and the video from last week's wild event shows them hurtling down a skate park in L.A.'s Griffith Park in their mobile toilet.

Y'know ... for when ya really gotta go, go, go!

Anyway, things were running smoothly until a woman in the crowd named Katrina Ponce De Leon got distracted while filming on her phone. She told us she couldn't gauge how close she was to the potty shot because she was viewing through a wide-angle lens.

She also didn't see the door hanging off the side, which ended up taking her out as the porta-potty slammed into her. Oh s**t, was never more appropriate! 💩

Katrina only suffered minor injuries in the crash, but check out the guy standing near her who took a street sign to the dome. He went to a hospital to treat a cut on his head.

Luckily, no one was sliding into third and feeling a greasy ... well, y'know.

Mark Zuckerberg Tears ACL Sparring ... Has Surgery To Repair

Published

This never happened coding ... Mark Zuckerberg tore his ACL training MMA, and was forced to go under the knife, delaying a real deal fight Zuck had scheduled for early next year!

The Facebook founder shared several photos from his hospital bed Friday afternoon ... announcing he's suffered a serious injury to his left leg.

"Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it. Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that's delayed a bit. Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support," 39-year-old Zuck wrote on Instagram.

The bit about the upcoming fight is news, too. No one ever publicly announced Mark scheduled a mixed martial arts bout.

A bunch of MMA stars wished Zuck well after hearing about his injury, including former UFC champ-champ Henry Cejudo, who wrote ...  "Speedy recovery Mark! 🙏"

Through training, Zuckerberg has befriended many of the world's top fighters like Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski.

FYI, the ACL, or the anterior cruciate ligament, is a band of tissue that connects your thigh and shinbones together and is a common injury among athletes.

Of course, Zuckerberg and Elon Musk spent months negotiating terms for an MMA fight, though it never came to fruition. The billionaires blamed each other for the breakdown.

Earlier this week Musk went on Joe Rogan's podcast and again reiterated that he would fight Zuckerberg "anytime, anywhere, any place."

ACL recovery typically takes around 9 months, give or take, to return to competition post-surgery.

Until then, Mark's likely not fighting anyone.

Get well soon!!!

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER Es demandado por un accidente de tráfico con una ciclista... Andabas muy rápido!!!

Published

Arnold Schwarzenegger está siendo arrastrado a los tribunales por una ciclista a la que accidentalmente golpeó con su carro, y ella está apelando a sus habilidades de conducción, o más bien, a la supuesta falta de ella.

De acuerdo con la nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, una mujer llamada Joanne Flickinger afirma que es la ciclista a quien Schwarzenegger chocó con su SUV en febrero en una concurrida calle de West Los Ángeles.

En los documentos, Flickinger afirma que Arnold es responsable. Dice que estaba conduciendo "a exceso de velocidad" y falló en mantener una "visión adecuada". También afirma que la colisión del actor le causó lesiones graves.

TMZ publicó la historia, Arnold estuvo involucrado en un accidente de tráfico con una mujer que fue trasladada a un hospital. Se nos dice que tomó la bicicleta de la señora, la ató a su SUV y la llevó a un taller de bicicletas local para su reparación.

En ese momento, nuestras fuentes policiales nos dijeron que la mujer hizo un giro a la izquierda delante de Arnold, antes de que él tuviera la oportunidad de pisar el freno. También dijeron que no iba muy rápido en absoluto.

Obviamente, la ciclista ve las cosas de manera diferente, y va tras de Arnold por dinero.

Nos pusimos en contacto con el campamento de Arnold. Hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

Arnold Schwarzenegger SUED OVER TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WITH BICYCLIST ... You Were Driving Too Fast!!!

Published | Updated

Arnold Schwarzenegger's getting dragged to court by the cyclist he accidentally hit with his car, and she's ripping his driving skills ... or the alleged lack thereof.

According to the new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Joanne Flickinger claims she's the bicyclist who collided with Arnold's SUV back in February on a busy West L.A. street.

In the docs, Flickinger claims Arnold is at fault ... she says he was driving "with excessive speed and failed to keep a proper lookout." She also claims the collision caused her severe injuries.

TMZ broke the story ... Arnold was involved in a traffic accident with a woman on a bike, and she was transported to a hospital. We're told he took the lady's bike, attached it to his SUV and took it to a local bike shop for repairs.

At the time, our law enforcement sources told us the woman made a left turn in front of Arnold before he had a chance to hit his brakes and he was not going very fast at all.

Obviously, the bicyclist sees things differently ... and she's going after Arnold for money.

We reached out to Arnold's camp ... so far no word back.

Kourtney Kardashian Strong Evidence She's Given Birth Travis, Kylie at Hospital

Published | Updated

There is growing evidence Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are welcoming their son Rocky into the world ... although we don't know for certain she's had the baby, we'll lay out what we do know, and the biggest clue involves Travis Barker and Kylie Jenner.

This past Monday, we began receiving tips Kourtney showed up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. On the one hand, lots of people know the Kardashians typically give birth at that hospital, so it's not automatically a lock the tips are accurate.

But then, we've been in touch with various people in the Kardashian orbit, and they have been unusually sketchy on the subject. The only clear fact we confirmed is that her due date was this week. One source said labor would be induced.

And that brings us to the next clue ... Travis and Kourtney have said they wanted the baby to be born on Halloween, which was this past Tuesday. If this was an induced birth and she was due this week, that kinda makes sense.

And now, the kickers ... Check out the photo of Travis Barker's reflection from the side mirror as he pulled into Cedars Thursday afternoon.

And then there's a photo of Kylie Jenner's Range Rover pulling into Cedars Thursday around 3:30 PM. Witnesses eyeballed her as she entered the facility.

All in all, our money is on Kourtney gave birth this week.

Stay tuned ...

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN Fuerte evidencia de que dio a luz Travis y Kylie en el hospital

Published | Updated

Cada vez hay más pruebas de que Kourtney Kardashian y Travis Barker están dando la bienvenida al mundo a su hijo Rocky, aunque no sabemos con certeza si tuvo al bebé, vamos a exponer lo que sí sabemos, y la mayor pista implica a Travis Barker y Kylie Jenner.

El pasado lunes, empezamos a recibir pistas de que Kourtney se presentó en el Cedars-Sinai Medical Center en Los Ángeles. Primero que todo, muchos saben que las Kardashians suelen dar a luz en ese hospital, aunque eso no implica que siempre sea así.

Además de eso, hemos estado en contacto con varias personas de la órbita Kardashian, quienes han sido inusualmente escuetos sobre el tema. El único hecho que confirmamos es que su fecha de parto era esta semana. Una fuente dijo que el parto sería inducido.

Y eso nos lleva a la siguiente pista... Travis y Kourtney han dicho que querían que el bebé naciera en Halloween, que fue este martes pasado. Si se trata de un parto inducido, que estaba previsto para esta semana, tiene un poco de sentido.

Y ahora, las mayores pistas... Echa un vistazo a la foto de Travis Barker desde el espejo lateral cuando se detuvo en Cedars el jueves por la tarde, donde se lo ve muy reflexivo.

Y luego está la foto del Range Rover de Kylie Jenner entrando al Cedars el jueves alrededor de las 3:30 PM. Los testigos la vieron mientras estaba entrando en las instalaciones.

En definitiva, apostamos a que Kourtney dio a luz esta semana.

Estén muy atentos.

Titans' Treylon Burks Carted Off Field ... After Suffering Scary Injury

Published

Tennessee Titans star Treylon Burks was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field after suffering a scary injury during Thursday night's game ... but, thankfully, he now appears to be doing OK.

The terrifying moment happened late in the fourth quarter of Tennessee's tilt with the Steelers in Pittsburgh ... when Burks attempted to make a circus catch to keep a late-game Titans drive alive.

The 23-year-old jumped up for the ball, grabbed it with two hands ... but when he came crashing to the grass, it slipped from his grasp as his head and neck slammed violently into the ground.

Burks lay motionless for several moments ... before trainers and medical personnel rushed to stabilize him.

The wide receiver -- a former first-round pick -- was eventually taken to the locker room ... where Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said he was showing positive signs of recovery.

"He's alert, moving," Vrabel told reporters after the game. "I'll have more of an update hopefully tomorrow, but he's back there being evaluated. But, I would say that the way it looked -- it's probably better than how it looked."

Adding insult to injury, the Titans couldn't complete their comeback attempt against the Steelers ... falling, 20-16.

Florida Man Arrested for Child Abuse Allegedly Botched Cousin's Circumcision

Published

A Florida man was arrested last month after he allegedly tried circumcising his toddler cousin -- which went terribly wrong ... and which landed this guy behind bars.

29-year-old Timothoes Powell was taken into custody and booked on child abuse charges earlier in October -- all because he allegedly tried snipping his 2-year-old relative's penis while babysitting him down in Daytona Beach ... this according to the local authorities.

Here's how cops are saying it went down ... Powell was watching his young cuzzo while the kid's parents were away -- and mom and dad got a call from their nephew at one point saying he had to rush their son to the hospital because he was bleeding from his crotch.

As it turns out ... the child appeared to have been cut, and when asked about this -- Powell reportedly told police glass must've been in the little one's diaper. Upon further questioning, however, Powell reportedly said he may have pulled the baby's foreskin down too hard while trying to clean him. Of course, cops weren't buying that -- 'cause nurses said it looked like a clean cut and was far too precise to be any sort of accident like the one he described.

Cops ended up arresting with some other evidence they say they recovered -- including home surveillance footage which supposedly shows Powell acting mean to the kid ... and allegedly walking away from the boy at one point with an object in his hand. Investigators believe he may have attempted to deliberately circumcise his cousin ... and now, he's in trouble.

Powell is facing aggravated child abuse charges and is still locked up in Volusia County Branch Jail.
