Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman and Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum popped up on the team’s penultimate injury report after missing practice Friday in Owings Mills three days ahead of a crucial Monday night showdown against the host Los Angeles Chargers. Bateman, who is second on the team in catches (33) and receiving yards (531) this season, is listed with a knee injury, though he was in good spirits and did not appear to be in pain in the locker room after the snowy session. Linderbaum, meanwhile, missed practice with a back injury, and his backup, rookie Nick Samac (chest), was limited. On the flip side, running back Justice Hill (concussion protocol) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (illness) were both full participants after Hill was limited a day earlier and Agholor was out sick. The biggest concern for Baltimore (7-4) ahead of its showdown with the Chargers (7-3) remains the status of All-Pro inside linebacker Roquan Smith, who did not practice for a third straight day because of a he suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. “It will be a challenge if Roquan can’t go,” defensive coordinator Zach Orr said Friday, adding that Smith’s role will be filled by a committee of Trenton Simpson, Malik Harrison and Chris Board if he doesn’t play. “Not one person is going to replace Roquan. Roquan’s an every-down linebacker [and] a top linebacker in this league [and] All-Pro for a reason. Not one guy’s going to replace him. We like our guys that we have in the room — they’re here for a reason, and somebody [has] to step up.” There were no changes to the rest of the Ravens’ injury report, with safety Kyle Hamilton (neck) and outside linebacker Odafe Oweh (neck) both full participants for a second straight day and defensive tackle Travis Jones (ankle), rookie safety Sanoussi Kane (ankle) and cornerback Arthur Maulet (calf) all not practicing again. The Chargers, on the other hand, appear to be getting healthier with a few key players back at practice. Notably, outside linebackers Khalil Mack (groin) and Joey Bosa (hip), rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder), tight end Hayden Hurst (hip) and rookie cornerback Cam Hart (concussion/ankle) all practiced. Related Articles Mack, who is third on the team with 4 1/2 sacks and hasn’t played since injuring his groin three weeks ago in a win over the Cleveland Browns, practiced for a second straight day, though he was limited again. Bosa, outside linebacker Bud Dupree (foot), safety Derwin James Jr. (groin) and offensive tackle Trey Pipkins III (ankle) were also limited. Mack’s return would be an added boost to a defense that already leads the NFL in points allowed per game (14.5) and is tied for the fourth-most sacks with 34. Meanwhile, McConkey, who leads Los Angeles in catches (43) and receiving yards (615) to go with four touchdowns, was limited after not practicing Thursday, as were Hurst, a 2018 Ravens first-round draft pick, and Hart, a Baltimore native. Linebacker Denzel Perryman (groin) did not practice, nor did former Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins, who was given a rest day. With the game not being until Monday night, the final injury report with game statuses will come out Saturday.Moment 'idiot', 22, filmed himself speeding along motorway with his feet out the window before crashing into car and killing grandfather: Driver jailed for 12 yearsFormer Australian bowler Ryan Harris has fired back at “rubbish” claims from Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar over Josh Hazlewood’s side strain injury, which will see him sidelined from the second Test in Adelaide.

MATCH CENTRE: Australia vs India second Test scorecard, live updates The action gets back underway on Friday at 3pm, with Scott Boland returning in place of Hazlewood in Australia’s only change to the starting XI that was comfortably defeated by India in Perth. Hazlewood’s comments during the first Test sparked suggestions of a potential divide in the Australian dressing room, although teammates were quick to dismiss those claims. But according to Gavaskar, the fact Hazlewood is now unavailable due to injury should be raising eyebrows in the Australian media. Gavaskar said earlier in the week that the Australian fast bowler’s side strain injury was “strange” and a “mystery”, seemingly hinting his non-selection may instead be connected to his comments during the first Test. Travis Head said he was “surprised” to hear that insinuation from Gavaskar while Harris was far more direct, describing it as “rubbish” in an interview with the Indian Express . “Look, there are no, factions. That’s just all garbage,” Harris said. “I’ve even heard Mr Gavaskar coming out and saying there’s some faction. It’s all rubbish. That doesn’t happen in Australia. I know it happens in India. I’ve lived there. “There’s no politics and no, you don’t miss a game for saying what he (Hazlewood) said. “I’ve spoken to a couple of the boys here at and everyone’s smart. They just know our media and how they work. The Australian media have jumped on it, because we went so bad in Perth. But you’re allowed to be outplayed.” Harris went on to stress that he has “all the respect” for Gavaskar, calling him a “legend of the game”. “He is just throwing a little grenade over here and the media have just got hold of him and are having a feast,” added Harris. Hazlewood, who took five wickets in Australia’s 295-run loss at Perth, will remain with the group in Adelaide to prepare for the remainder of the series according to Cricket Australia. Boland, Hazlewood’s replacement, played the last of his 10 Tests in July 2023 against England at Headingley. MCSWEENEY VOWS TO ‘SHOW WHAT I CAN DO’ AFTER BAPTISM OF FIRE Elsewhere, Australian opener Nathan McSweeney has vowed to “show everyone what I can do” when the second Test against India begins on familiar territory in Adelaide on Friday. The 25-year-old was under the spotlight when he made his debut for his country in the first Test of the five-match series last month in Perth. McSweeney had only ever opened once before at first-class level and he scored 10 and nought as a rampant India won by 295 runs, with fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah his and Australia’s chief tormentor. “I got two pretty good balls over there in Perth, so I’m not trying to dwell on it too much and look forward to Adelaide,” McSweeney told Cricket Australia’s media arm. “I’ve played well out here, and it’s my home ground,” he said of the Adelaide Oval, which will host the day-night second Test. “So I’m looking forward to getting in front of a home crowd and most importantly, a wicket that I’ve played heaps of cricket on and that I know really well.” McSweeney got the nod to open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja in Perth on the back of an impressive start to the domestic season. Two of his six career Sheffield Shield centuries have come at the Adelaide Oval and he averages just over 43 in first-class games there, according to Cricket Australia. He admits however that the “pink ball is a little bit new to me”. “But we’ll be training here under lights a few times this week. So we’ve got some prep to do and I feel like I missed out last match, but my game’s still in a good spot.” He added: “If I can make sure I nail my prep and then spend some time in the middle, I can take great confidence from that. “The beauty of this series is you don’t have to wait too long to get another opportunity, so definitely take some learnings from Perth and hopefully execute what I want to do here in Adelaide. “It’s another opportunity for me to go out there and show everyone what I can do.” LIVE BLOG Follow all the latest updates from the second Test in our blog below!

Content creation today is as much about crisp audio as it is about crisp visuals and a well-structured script. That's where a good microphone becomes essential - especially if you're just starting out. With most good wireless microphones coming with a hefty price tag, there has been a growing demand for budget-friendly options that still deliver good performance. Enter the Crossbeats Clip M01, a microphone that claims to offer excellent audio quality at a price of around ₹ 3,000. But does it live up to the hype? I tested the Clip M01 extensively over the course of two months, and here's how it performed in the real world. Design and in-hand feel: Clip M01 comes in a plastic case with one receiver and two transmitters. There is also a USB-C and Lightning dongle inside the case to ensure connectivity with both Android and older iPhones. The case itself feels pretty cheap in hand and is also susceptible to a lot of fingerprints and scratches. I've had the Clip M01 with me for a couple of months, with the case usually lying around in an almirah or my bag, and it already looks completely worn out—which isn’t a good sign when it comes to durability. There’s also a glass-like finish on top of the case, which I initially assumed would reflect the charging percentage or connection status, but as it turns out, it’s just there for show. Instead, the charging percentage is tucked below the Crossbeats logo where it’s barely visible. Connectivity and usage: Connecting the M01 is relatively simple. Just plug the transmitter into your phone's Type-C or Lightning port and press the top button on the two microphones. Once the violet and blue lights appear on both microphones, it means they are connected to the phone. The two omnidirectional microphones can either be used in an interview-like setup or to achieve a stereo sound output. I tested the Clip M01 on two separate Android devices ( iQOO 13 and Vivo X200 ), and there were no issues with either capturing audio using a recording app or recording through the default camera app. The Clip M01 can record audio at a 48 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit depth. Crossbeats claims a range of 120 metres with the microphone, but I wouldn’t recommend taking it more than 30–40 metres away from the phone, at which point the audio starts becoming glitchy and the connection unstable. The microphone is capable of capturing decent-quality audio and can also reduce lighter background noises with ENC mode turned on. However, the Clip M01 comes with just a single noise reduction option that cannot be customised, unlike many other microphones in this range that offer three levels of noise reduction. Crossbeats claims a 10-hour battery life for the microphones and 40 hours of total charge with the case. While I wasn't able to confirm the exact battery life of the mics, I did notice the battery of the supplied case dropping significantly (around 10–12 percent in around 5 minutes) after putting the mics back following 30 minutes of use, which makes me sceptical of the battery life claims. Verdict: Should you buy Crossbeats Clip M01? With a starting price of ₹ 2,999, the Crossbeats Clip M01 can be a tempting option for someone just starting out on their content creation journey. However, the durability of the supplied case, the lack of customizable noise reduction options, and concerns about battery life prevent me from fully recommending these microphones as a definitive buy.'He Knows His Generation': Melania Stunned by Barron's 'Incredible' Advice That Helped Trump Beat Kamala

NoneDallas Cowboys star guard Zack Martin is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders due to ankle and shoulder injuries. Martin didn't practice at all this week. He also physically struggled during Monday night's loss to the Houston Texas. Martin, who turned 34 on Wednesday, has started all 162 games played in 11 seasons with the Cowboys. He's a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and a seven-time first-team All-Pro. Tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) and safety Markquese Bell (shoulder) have been ruled out. Neither player practiced this week after being hurt against the Texans. Cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) practiced in full this week and will make his season debut. He was injured in August. Star wideout CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) was a full practice participant on Friday and is good to go. Cornerback Trevon Diggs (groin/knee) and receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) are among six players listed as questionable. The others are offensive tackle Chuma Edoga (toe), guard Tyler Smith (ankle/knee), defensive end Marshawn Kneeland (knee) and linebacker Nick Vigil (foot). --Field Level Media
