Following is a summary of current sports news briefs. Ex-NFL QB Mark Sanchez charged with felony battery Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez is now facing a felony charge in addition to three previously announced misdemeanors in connection with a weekend altercation in Indianapolis that led to his stabbing, officials in Marion County, Ind., announced Monday. Prosecutor Ryan Mears said Sanchez, a Fox Sports analyst, has been charged with felony battery involving serious bodily injury, which, if convicted, could lead to a prison sentence of one to six years. Oilers lock up D Jake Walman with 7-year, $49M deal Defenseman Jake Walman signed a seven-year, $49 million extension with the Edmonton Oilers on Monday. Walman, 29, joined the Oilers at the trade deadline last season from the San Jose Sharks following previous stints with the Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues. Miami's Carson Beck joins Oregon's Dante Moore atop Heisman race The Miami Hurricanes have knocked off three ranked opponents through their first five games of the season, helping quarterback Carson Beck vault to the forefront of the Heisman Trophy race. A co-favorite at one point earlier this season, Beck drifted back a few spots before leading a convincing win Saturday night at No. 18 Florida State. In his first road game as a Hurricane, Beck threw four touchdowns in the 28-22 victory. Adam Silver: Clippers will retain All-Star Game despite investigation NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league has no plans to move All-Star Weekend away from the Los Angeles Clippers' new arena while it investigates whether the team violated salary-cap rules related to Kawhi Leonard. "There's no contemplation of moving the All-Star Game," Silver said Monday at NBC Sports headquarters in Stamford, Conn. "Planning for the All-Star Game and the surrounding activities are operating completely independently of the ongoing investigation." Islanders name top pick D Matthew Schaefer to roster for opener After turning 18 a month ago, defenseman Matthew Schaefer is now set to make his NHL debut for the New York Islanders on Thursday in the team's season opener. Schaefer, the No. 1 overall selection in June's NHL entry draft, officially was named to the Islanders' roster Monday. Aaron Glenn: Jets still ‘here to win now’ despite 0-5 start It's safe to say that Aaron Glenn's tenure as head coach of the New York Jets hasn't begun how he, or anyone in the building, hoped it would. With the Tennessee Titans and New Orleans Saints winning Sunday, the Jets (0-5) are left as the last winless NFL team this season. Rangers bring in F Conor Sheary on 1-year contract After playing in four preseason games with the New York Rangers, veteran forward Conor Sheary agreed to a one-year contract with the team on Monday. Sheary, 33, tallied three points (one goal, two assists) while averaging 16:05 of ice time while on a professional tryout. A 10-year NHL veteran, the Winchester, Mass., native signed as an undrafted free agent with the Pittsburgh Penguins on July 1, 2015. Dodgers line up Shohei Ohtani to start Game 5, if necessary The Los Angeles Dodgers will refrain from using Shohei Ohtani as a relief pitcher moving forward, with manager Dave Roberts saying he will start his right-hander in Game 5 of the National League Division Series, if necessary. Speculation has been rampant that Ohtani could be used in relief during the playoffs with the Dodgers' bullpen struggling during the second half of the season. Roberts did not completely rule out the possibility when asked during the wild-card round. John Harbaugh: Staff changes not answer to Ravens’ struggles The biggest surprise of the NFL season through five weeks has been the Baltimore Ravens. After entering the season tied for the best odds to win Super Bowl LX (+700), the Ravens fell to 1-4 — tied for the worst start to a season in franchise history — with Sunday's 44-10 loss to Houston, tied for the most lopsided home defeat in franchise history. NHL-McDavid signs two-year contract extension with Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid, widely considered the best ice hockey player on the planet, has signed a two-year contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers, the NHL team said on Monday ahead of the 2025-26 season. The Oilers captain, who was entering the final season of an eight-year contract, signed an extension with an average annual value of $12.5 million that will keep the three-times league most valuable player under team control for three seasons.
