UNITED STATES

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed what the organization feels star receiver Brandon Aiyuk might have after being carted off the field against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Shanahan says the 49ers fear Aiyuk has a torn ACL, which would sideline him for the remainder of the season. “That’s what it looks like, but we don’t know for sure,” Shanahan said, per 49erswebzone.com. “Just doing the test and everything with our hands, and with the trainers and stuff, all that. That’s what we fear. That’s what it looks like, but we’ve been wrong before, so we’re praying that we are.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAiyuk will undergo further testing to confirm the 49ers’ fear. Aiyuk caught a pass from quarterback Brock Purdy with 37 seconds left in the half, and he took it for 15 yards with Justin Reid and Chamarri Conner tackling him simultaneously. CHIEFS REMAIN NFL’S ONLY UNDEFEATED TEAM AFTER TAKING DOWN 49ERS IN SUPER BOWL REMATCHHowever, as Reid was trying to bring him down, Conner came sprinting in and threw his body at Aiyuk’s leg. Video replay of the tackle showed Aiyuk’s right knee buckle, and he was in immediate pain down on the field. Aiyuk needed to be carted off the field after trainers assessed what he was going through. The injury came after the 49ers were already without Deebo Samuel, who tried to play through an illness but ultimately had to bow out early in the 28-18 loss to Kansas City. It also comes after an absolute rollercoaster for the talented receiver this offseason, when he was seeking a new long-term extension instead of just playing on his fifth-year option. The 49ers and Aiyuk went back and forth, as the latter requested a trade and the former eventually told him just before the season he would be forced to practice. Both sides ultimately agreed on a four-year, $120 million deal that locked Aiyuk back in with the Niners long-term. Through six games, Aiyuk has totaled 351 yards through the air on 23 catches (41 targets), but he did not find the end zone once this season. If this is an ACL tear, Aiyuk will end the year with those numbers as the 49ers set him up on a recovery path with 2025 in mind. The 49ers’ offense is a group filled with talent, but Aiyuk is the latest serious injury to Shanahan’s group. Christian McCaffrey is the obvious piece missing at the moment, as he is dealing with Achilles tendinitis in both feet. San Francisco was expected to be a Super Bowl contending team again this season, but it has not been a dream start for them as they dropped to 3-4 with the loss to the Chiefs now.  Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Political commentator Angela Rye declared on CNN that “White folks” should face accountability “for not showing up to save democracy” if they don’t vote for Vice President Kamala Harris next month.During an interview on “First of All” Saturday, CNN host Victor Blackwell addressed the backlash against former President Barack Obama after he scolded Black men for not being more supportive of Harris’ presidential campaign, in light of polling that shows Black men trending toward former President Trump compared to previous years.”This is the first time since he was in Pittsburgh and invoked the potential of sexism in his appeal to Black men to support the vice president,” Blackwell began, referencing Obama’s appearance in Arizona a day earlier. “Should there be a course correction because there was so much backlash to that framework? Was it a mistake for the former president to say what he did or to say it publicly…?”SAGE STEELE CALLS OUT OBAMA FOR ‘SCOLDING’ BLACK MEN FOR LACK OF ENTHUSIASM FOR KAMALA HARRIS: ‘BACK OFF’Rye quickly turned the conversation away from the former president, shifting the focus to “White folks.””You know, I think that it’s wonderful that President Obama is out hitting the trail for democracy, frankly. And what I think is a mistake is to let White folks escape the accountability that they must face for not showing up to save democracy themselves,” she said.OBAMA CALLS OUT ‘BROTHERS’ APPREHENSIVE TO VOTE FOR HARRIS: ‘YOU’RE THINKING OF SITTING OUT?'”They want to get mad at presidential candidates, right, when they don’t wear a flag lapel pin or they don’t see you pledging allegiance to the flag,” Rye continued. “That’s what they want to get upset about. Now, the face of patriotism to them looks like trying to tear down the Capitol in a terrorist attack on January 6th, 2021.””The responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country. That is White men and White women. I don’t want to see a women’s march with pussy hats come January if something doesn’t go right. What I want to see is for them to march themselves to the polls…”She concluded, “We are doing our part. It’s time for White folks to turn their ire and their attention to each other to ensure they also do their part.”During a pre-campaign-rally stop in Pittsburgh last week, Obama appeared to admonish Black Americans who have not been as fervent in their support for Harris’ presidential bid as they were for his in 2008 and 2012.”We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama began.TRUMP GAINS THE SUPPORT OF SEVERAL BLACK MALE CELEBRITIES AS HARRIS STRUGGLES WITH BLACK MEN”Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. So if you don’t mind — just for a second, I’ve got to speak to y’all and say that when you have a choice that is this clean: When on the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, went to college with you understands the struggles [and the] pain and joy that comes from those experiences…”According to several reports, Obama then went on to contrast that vision – presumably of Harris – to that of former President Trump.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe 44th president went on to say many people apprehensive of Harris are coming up with “all kinds of reasons and excuses” to either sit home or support another candidate.”[P]art of it makes me think, and I’m speaking to men directly… that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”According to a New York Times/Siena College poll released last week, Harris currently holds 78% of the Black vote, which is down from 2020, when President Biden won approximately 90% of that voting bloc. It’s also down from 2016, when Hillary Clinton won approximately 92% of the Black vote. Harris’ support among Black men has dropped even more significantly, according to the report: 70% said they would vote for Harris in November, down from Biden’s 85% in 2020.Fox News’ Charles Creitz contributed to this report.

Anti-death penalty advocates held a rally over the weekend in Texas calling for capital punishment to be abolished, as several high-profile death row cases in Texas and other states have sparked debate over whether the death penalty should remain.Former death row inmates spoke at the 25th Annual March to Abolish the Death Penalty on Saturday, according to Fox 26. The march held each fall features state abolitionists, former death row inmates and allies opposing capital punishment who all gather together to demand an end to the state-sanctioned death of inmates on death row.Many of the advocates said they are fighting for innocent people like Robert Roberson, who is currently on death row over his conviction in which prosecutors say he killed his two-year-old daughter, Nikki Curtis, by shaking her to death, known as shaken baby syndrome. But his lawyers say Nikki actually died from other health issues such as pneumonia and that new evidence proves his innocence. His lawyers also said doctors had failed to rule out these other medical explanations for the child’s symptoms.Roberson was scheduled to be put to death on Thursday before the state Supreme Court issued a stay to delay his execution shortly before it was set to take place. He would have been the first person in the U.S. to be executed based on shaken baby syndrome.TEXAS JUDGE GRANTS INJUNCTION AHEAD OF MAN’S EXECUTION IN ‘SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME’ CASEThe delay was issued Thursday night after a bipartisan group of state lawmakers subpoenaed Roberson to testify Monday about his case. The ruling came after the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals earlier Thursday night denied a motion for a stay of execution, reversing a judge’s temporary injunction that was handed down earlier that day.More than 80 Texas state lawmakers, as well as the detective who helped the prosecution, medical experts, parental rights groups, human rights groups, bestselling novelist John Grisham and other advocates have called for the state to grant Roberson clemency over the belief that he is innocent. A group of state lawmakers also visited Roberson in prison to encourage him.At the rally in Texas, former death row inmate Pamala Tise said she was locked up for a total of 40 years.TEXAS DEATH ROW INMATE’S LAWYER SAYS ‘THERE WAS NO CRIME’ AS SHE MAKES LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO SAVE HIS LIFETise was sentenced to death at the age of 24 following her conviction on two counts of capital murder, Fox 26 reported. Her initial conviction was overturned in 1983, but she was again sentenced to death after a retrial. The following year, she was placed back on death row and remained there until 2000.”I was not innocent of my crime. When I did my crime, I was on a lot of drugs and when I came off the drugs a week later and realized what we had done, I turned myself into the police,” Tise said, according to Fox 26.But in 2000, her conviction was overturned because of a conflict of interests. She was taken off death row following a plea bargain that reduced her capital murder charges to two counts of aggravated robbery.”So I went in at 24 and came out at 64,” said Tise, who now campaigns against the death penalty.”Having someone be executed, to me, would be the easy way out. Spending the rest of your life in prison is a living hell,” Tise added.Texas Death Penalty Abolition Movement organizer Gloria Rubac said “Harris County has more people on death row than any state.”The activists said they hope a court will hear the new evidence in Roberson’s case when he testifies on Monday.

A primary care physician in Virginia has taken to TikTok to share a travel tip involving creepy crawlers that might make you rethink unpacking your bags right away.The video posted by Dr. Jason Singh of Loudoun County, Virginia, has garnered more than 750,000 views after he shared a PSA about bed bugs and your luggage.”Here’s why you shouldn’t unpack your suitcase right after coming home from a vacation,” Singh said on TikTok. “OK, so you hear me out, especially if you stayed in a hotel. And that’s because of bedbugs.”AMID BEDBUG INFESTATION, SHOCKING VIDEO SHOWS A STREET IN PARIS LITTERED WITH OLD MATTRESSES”Bed bug eggs typically hatch within six to 10 days, and the nymphs require a blood meal shortly after hatching to continue their development,” he added.Singh said he decided to post this video after realizing that not many travelers had knowledge about bed bug exposure.It was one of his patient’s cases that made him realize this possible bed bug infestation was worth educating others about.AIRLINE PASSENGERS COULD BE REMOVED FROM FLIGHTS FOR GOING BAREFOOT: ETIQUETTE EXPERT WEIGHS IN”[I was] just struck by how persistent and distressing their bed bug reaction was, even weeks after returning from their trip. It made me realize that many travelers might not be aware of the potential long-term consequences of bed bug exposure,” Singh told Fox News Digital via email.He realized he needed to fill the gap “in public knowledge about effective prevention strategies.”On TikTok, Singh continued to describe the reasoning behind why bed bugs need to stay packed away and face exposure.”Now, if your suitcase remains closed and undisturbed for at least two weeks, well, any bedbug egg or nymph present will likely die due to starvation or desiccation, so now you have a reason to be lazy, just like me,” he said in his video.HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU WASH YOUR JEANS? CLEANING EXPERTS SETTLE THE DEBATE”And just let your suitcase hang there in the side. I mean, let’s be honest. What kind of psycho unpacks right away? Let me know.”The comment section of Singh’s TikTok video was filled with other social media users talking about their unpacking habits.”I unpack & throw everything in the washer as soon as I get home. I need all my stuff I travel with,” one user wrote.”Who has two extra weeks of clothes that they don’t need when they get back from holiday! Or am I just a peasant and only have a week or two of clothes in total,” another person commented.AIRLINE PASSENGER SAYS SHE RECEIVED ‘CREEPIEST’ TEXT FROM STRANGER WHO SAW PHONE NUMBER ON HER LUGGAGE TAGEric Braun, a board-certified entomologist in Reading, Pennsylvania, shared his own thoughts on bed bug prevention and what to do if you spot something in your luggage.”If a bed bug problem is a significant concern for the traveler, another helpful tip is not to store personal items and clothing inside hotel drawers, along the floor, or near hotel furniture. While I travel, I place my suitcase in the bathroom, specifically the shower/tub, as it can be difficult for bed bugs to access those areas,” Braun told Fox News Digital via email.Braun advised travelers not to bring an assumed infested suitcase into a living space, but rather outside the home before placing the clothes in a trash bag and immediately into a laundry room.”Remember that, in the right temperatures, bed bugs can live several months without being fed, so don’t assume that suitcases that haven’t been used in a few months are bed bug-free,” Braun said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.”If suitcases must be stored in living spaces, such as under beds, put them in trash bags first, and tape the bag shut. Suitcases can be treated with over-the-counter products labeled for that application,” he added.Braun shared tips and actions to take if you believe you found bed bugs in your luggage.”If a bed bug is spotted, there are some immediate actions the traveler should take to avoid further spread. Anything that can be laundered can be immediately placed in the dryer at a high-temperature setting,” Braun said.”Place personal belongings that can be laundered immediately in the dryer before washing. High heat (at least 1,300 F+) can kill bed bugs and their eggs.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERBraun said that if you have clothes that cannot immediately be thrown into the dryer, you should place the apparel in a closed bag or sealed container and place it outside your home and away from any possible entry points.Ben Hottel, a Georgia-based technical service manager at Orkin, shared some insights on how best to treat your luggage if it’s infested with bed bugs.Hottel agreed with Braun, stating that it is best to immediately unpack your bag outside the home and throw your clothes into the dryer at the highest sitting for a minimum of 30-45 minutes.”Recently hatched nymphs can live up to a month without a blood meal. Older bed bugs that might also be in the suitcase can live much longer – maybe even up to a year … it’s best to do laundry immediately as the high temperature setting acts as a heat treatment,” Hottel told Fox News Digital.Hottel advised people to call a pest control company if they believe there’s a bed bug infestation inside their home.
