Former NFL quarterback Chad Kelly suffered a leg injury so gruesome his teammates couldn’t even look during the Canadian Football League’s playoffs on Saturday. 

Kelly, a quarterback for the Toronto Argonauts, was playing in the team’s semifinals matchup when he was tackled in the third quarter. 

As Kelly tried to stand up, he quickly noticed that his right leg was broken, and he was spotted trying to hold it together.

The scene was painful to watch as his teammates began to understand what was happening to their signal-caller. 

One of his teammates even collapsed to the ground, completely distraught by what he was witnessing as Kelly fell to the turf, seemingly in shock with what had occurred.

Kelly’s night was obviously finished after suffering this injury. He was 11-for-22 for 182 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. 

The Argonauts, though, went on to defeat the Montreal Alouettes, 30-28, to move on to the Grey Cup final against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. 

Kelly ended up suffering a broken tibia and fibula in his right ankle after Alouettes defensive end Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund landed on his leg while Kelly was running. 

Kelly released a statement on Sunday night, confirming his injuries and expecting to make a full recovery in three to six months.

“I want to extend my sincere thanks to the doctors and medical staff at Montreal General Hospital, as well as my family, teammates and team ownership, for standing by me throughout this experience,” Kelly’s statement read. “The incredible outpouring of support from our fans means the world to me, and I’m truly grateful for all the messages I’ve received. 

“I couldn’t be prouder of our team for securing an outstanding win, and I’m thrilled we’re headed to the Grey Cup. While I regret not being able to play, I have full confidence in the team and staff to bring the cup home where it belongs. Thank you again for the incredible support – I’ll see you all soon!”

Kelly, who was “Mr. Irrelevant” as the last pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, has been leading the Argonauts since serving a nine-game suspension by the league for violating its gender-based violence policy. 

Kelly was accused of sexual harassment in February by a former female assistant strength coach, who is also suing the team for wrongful dismissal.

Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., has been offered the role of national security adviser in the next Trump administration, a source confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Waltz has been one of President-elect Trump’s most visible surrogates during the 2024 campaign, spearheading military outreach and helping with the Veterans For Trump coalition.

The Florida congressman is the first retired Green Beret to serve in Congress and had previous administration experience as a policy adviser to former Defense Secretaries Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Waltz being offered the role. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

Elevating a House lawmaker to the administration could complicate Republicans’ ability to govern the chamber, however.

Waltz is in a safe red seat on the eastern Florida coast, so it’s highly unlikely to fall into Democratic hands. But replacing a House member is a process that could take several weeks.

Republicans are on track to win the House majority by just a slim margin, so whittling down their numbers in Congress could fuel delays to Trump’s own first 100-day agenda.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., speculated on Fox & Friends last week that Republicans would win by about four to six seats.

Waltz is the second House lawmaker tapped for an administration role after House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., accepted Trump’s nomination to be ambassador to the United Nations earlier on Monday.

Both Stefanik and Waltz are members of the House Armed Services Committee and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 

“I am truly honored to earn President Trump’s nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate,” Stefanik said in her statement accepting the nomination.

“The work ahead is immense as we see antisemitism skyrocketing coupled with four years of catastrophically weak U.S. leadership that significantly weakened our national security and diminished our standing in the eyes of both allies and adversaries. I stand ready to advance President Donald J. Trump’s restoration of America First peace through strength leadership on the world stage on Day One at the United Nations.”

Like Waltz, Stefanik’s upstate New York district is a safe Republican stronghold.

Morale appears to be surging among border authorities after the election of President-elect Donald Trump, who made border security one of the pillars of his campaign, after nearly four years of relaxed immigration policies that saw record numbers of migrants enter the United States. 

In addition to strengthening the southern border, Trump has promised to order mass deportations of illegal immigrants. On Monday, he tapped Tom Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), to serve as “border czar” in his second administration. 

During an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Homan, who is widely respected within the Border Patrol and ICE, said he plans to fix the border crisis caused by the Biden administration’s policies. 

EX-ACTING ICE DIRECTOR SAYS MASS DEPORTATION POSSIBLE WITHOUT FAMILY SEPARATION IF THEY’RE ‘DEPORTED TOGETHER’

“I’ve been on this network for years complaining about what this administration did to this border,” he said. “I’ve been yelling and screaming about it and what they need to do to fix it. So when the president asked me, ‘Would you come back and fix it?’ Of course, I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t.”

Illegal border crossings surged under President Biden with nearly 3 million in fiscal 2024, according to the Department of Homeland Security’s website. There have been more than 10.8 million illegal encounters since fiscal 2021.

Homan said he supports Trump’s mass deportation plan, saying he would be prioritizing “public safety threats and national security threats.” When asked during a recent interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” if mass deportations would result in family separations, Homan responded, “Families can be deported together.”

U.S. Border Patrol agents and ICE officials told Fox News the change is like night and day.

“It’s a total 180. Troops are finally feeling like the sun is coming out after a very long storm,” one Massachusetts ICE officer said. “People are fired up to have support. It’s amazing because we all became so numb. I don’t think we realized how bad until we finally have hope again. Everyone is so happy about Homan’s return.”

Another ICE officer in New York said morale was “super high, especially with the Homan news, too.”

“Ecstatic to go to work! Morale is even higher than the first time he won,” an Arizona Border Patrol agent said. 

“The morale is through the roof,” National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez said in an interview. “We’ve received hundreds of calls, texts, emails just saying how happy the agents are.”

“There are a lot of agents that had originally said that they would retire if President Trump did not win. And now those same agents are saying they’re going to hold back on their retirement because they want to serve under this administration again, because they know exactly how it was during this first administration, and they know this one’s going to be even better,” he said.

“We’ve all been hopeful but the give-ups are still trickling in,” a border agent in California said. “Nothing will change until Tom Homan takes the leash off us.”

A border agent in Texas told Fox News that “people who were going to retire are not and everyone is happy.”

“I feel that people know now they will get to do the work they signed up to do and that they want to do,” a senior ICE official said. “They know they can get the bad guys now. Public safety threats, national security threats, gang members, here we come.”

Other officials contacted said they were looking forward to no longer having to use politically correct language, such as “noncitizen,” to describe illegal immigrants.

Actor Kevin Costner on Monday defended Liz Cheney, saying the former Republican congresswoman from Wyoming should be applauded for her public service. 

 “I expect people in government to do the right thing. Public service is about public service. It’s not about your career. It’s not about your ego. Your four years is your four years,” the former “Yellowstone” star said during a live, town-hall edition of “The Michael Smerconish Program” on SiriusXM.

LIZ CHENEY BLASTS TRUMP AS ‘DEPRAVED,’ ‘UNSTABLE,’ CLAIMS PRO-LIFE AND PRO-CHOICE WOMEN RALLYING BEHIND HARRIS

Cheney came under fire from President-elect Trump in the days before his Election Day victory. She denounced his remarks in which he called her a “war hawk” from the comfort of Washington, D.C. 

“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK,” Trump said. “Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

Cheney has been one of Trump’s biggest critics and campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris. She criticized Trump after many of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Costner endorsed Cheney ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. That year, Cheney shared a photo of the actor wearing a T-shirt saying, “I’m for Liz Cheney.”

“I’m very proud of Liz Cheney,” Costner said. “I found a person completely at odds with one side willing to stand up. We should applaud her. We should protect her.”

“This woman should never be threatened,” he added. 

Cheney lost her re-election bid to Rep. Harriett Hageman, who was backed by Trump, in the GOP primary. 

Amy Adams demonstrated one of the first rules of comedy: Know your audience.

Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Seth Meyers, along with fellow “SNL” alums Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, took time during “The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast” to break down a song from a 2008 episode hosted by Adams.

While discussing the song, Samberg revealed that they originally had another idea for that week’s digital short, but Adams declined to participate.

“I’m not gonna go into great detail about it, but it was a song that would have been a duet with me and Amy Adams, and it was very dirty,” he explained.

AMY ADAMS SAYS SHE ‘STARTED PLAYING NUNS AND VIRGINS’ TO DETER UNWANTED ADVANCES FROM MEN

“I know that’s kind of s—-y to not say what the premise was, but it was basically like we were both really old, and we were having a picnic, [an] old people couple, and one of us gets stung by a scorpion. And then I’m dying or something, and the one lament on my deathbed is that we didn’t explore things more sexually in our life, and it’s this huge anthem about that.”

He continued, “We played the beginning of it for her and read a bunch of the lyrics, and she thought it was very funny, and she was so nice as always. We love Amy. She’s a genius, and she was like, ‘That’s really funny. I can’t do that. Little girls are so obsessed with ‘Enchanted’ right now. They will find this, and it will be scarring for them, and I just can’t mix that right now.'”

Instead, the team came up with the sketch “Hero Song,” featuring Samberg as a wannabe vigilante hero like Batman in “The Dark Knight.” As the sketch plays out, he stops Adams’ character from being mugged, but is then pummeled by the mugger.

Samberg said that although Adams thought the sketch was “really funny,” she had to turn it down out of respect for young fans of “Enchanted, which came out just a few months before she hosted “SNL.” (Jesse Grant/Karwai Tang)

“When we went out to shoot ‘Hero Song,’ within five minutes, a mother and her little girl walked up, and the look on the little girl’s face upon seeing Amy Adams, I was like, ‘Oh, she was so right,’” Samberg said.

“She was like, ‘That’s really funny. I can’t do that. Little girls are so obsessed with ‘Enchanted’ right now.'”

“And it was very instructive for me. It’s not something I even ever thought about in our line of work. You know what I mean? Of like, she actually has an obligation and a responsibility to those kids, and she took it really seriously. And I remember being really impressed by that.”

Samberg said “I remember being really impressed” by Adams’ decision to skip the sketch out of a sense of “responsibility” to young “Enchanted” fans. (Paras Griffin/Getty Images)
