A fan-favorite Carolina Panthers quarterback, who shone brightly early in preseason, has been ruled out of the team’s final match against the Houston Texans. His exit cuts short what many hoped would be an exciting summer showcase.

The Chicago Blackhawks wrapped up their preseason schedule with a loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. With a roster largely drawn from their minor-league ranks, the team put forth a solid effort but could not secure the victory. The finale closed out Chicago’s exhibition slate heading into the regular season.
