Former Naples High football star Michael Walker of the Jacksonville Jaguars has been placed on the team’s reserve/COVID-19 list, along with starting quarterback Gardner Minshew and three others.

Justin Stuller was looking forward to relaxing in the Florida Keys, fishing, lobstering and swimming with his wife, kids, extended family and friends.

Until a shark bit him.

Stuller, 38, who along with his brothers and wife owns Estero River Outfitters kayak and canoe livery, is now sporting two dozen stitches and a small limp after he tangled with an eight-foot lemon shark Wednesday off Snipes Point in the Keys.

An experienced diver — certified since age 12 — Stuller had spotted an injured fish in the rocks under water and went to retrieve it.

“It was too small, not a keeper,” he said Sunday from Estero River Outfitters on U.S. 41...

Former FGCU standout Richard Bleier just got a little bit closer to his old school — and hometown, for that matter.

The left-handed relief pitcher was traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the Miami Marlins Saturday morning for a player to be named later. 

The Davie native has logged a 2.99 career ERA over 177 1/3 innings with the Yankees and Orioles since he made his major league debut in 2016.

Bleier won’t have to travel far in his new colors, though. The Marlins are slated to resume play in Baltimore against the Orioles from Tuesday, Aug. 4, through Thursday, Aug. 6.

Two women have filed lawsuits against a Fort Myers spa, saying they were sexually battered by an employee on the same day.

In the July 1 Lee County filings, the women state that Joshua Lowman, 37, of Cape Coral, touched them inappropriately and pressed his genitals against them during their massages on Jan. 4 at Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa on Daniels Parkway.

Each suit is demanding a jury trial and $1 million per case.

The women’s attorney, Adam Horowitz, said from the time of the incidents his office was investigating and building their case leading up to the filing o...
