- Paxton Lynch, a former first-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos, has suffered another injury setback in his attempt to make a comeback in the National Arena League.
- Lynch, who joined the Colorado Spartans this year, tore his LCL (lateral collateral ligament) in his third game, ending his 2026 arena football season.
- The injury is a significant blow to Lynch's hopes of playing professional football again, as he had expressed a desire to play until he's 45 years old.
