It’s taken a while, but Challengers is soon coming to Prime Video.

The steamy tennis drama, which stars Zendaya in a love triangle, hits Prime Video later this month. Considering it was theatrically released by Amazon MGM Studios, it’s taken a while to arrive on the company’s platform - six months after its March 26, 2024 release, in fact.

You won’t have long to wait now, however. The Challengers release date has been set for September 19, which is roughly one week away. If you’ve been holding out for the digital version of director Luca Guadagnino’s acclaimed film, the time is coming soon. Meanwhile the Challengers Blu-Ray release riles up fans.

The plot revolves around an injured tennis star turned coach (Zendaya), who has a complicated relationship with her mid-level tennis player ex-boyfriend (Josh O'Connor), and tennis champion husband (Mike Faist). Exploring over a decade of their messy business, everything comes to a head with a match between the two at the ATP Challenger Tour.

The film has an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising the performances from the core trio, frenetic editing, and memorable score by former Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor.

Bears GM speaks out after superstar goes down with injury

Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson is expected to miss most of training camp due to a leg injury, per ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. Johnson was placed on the non-football injury list when veterans reported to Chicago for camp. He suffered the injury during offseason training, according to Bears general manager Ryan Poles. Johnson is coming off his second consecutive Pro Bowl and is headed into the second year of a four-year, $76M deal. He has dealt with a number of injuries over his career, playing no more than 15 games in a season over the first four years of his career. In 2024, he played a full season for the first time, starting all 17 games with a career-high 1,032 snaps. An extended absence into the regular season would force Chicago to find another starting cornerback among their veteran depth, but Poles said that the team is not “overly concerned” about a long-term injury. “We’ve got a lot of faith that he’s going to put in the time to rehab and be his full self when he comes back,” said Poles on Tuesday. 2023 fifth-rounder Terell Smith will likely step into a first-team role in Johnson’s absence. Chicago largely relied on a cornerback trio of Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson and Kyler Gordon last year; Smith is the only remaining defensive back on the roster who played at least 150 snaps on the boundary for the Bears in 2024, according to Pro Football Focus. Offseason signings Nick McCloud and Tre Flowers may also see a bump in reps over the coming weeks as Johnson rehabs his leg with his eyes on returning for the Bears’ Week 1 opener against the Vikings.

Maple Leafs Top Prospect Shatters Expectations at World Junior Showcase

The World Junior Summer Showcase is in full swing, and Maple Leafs top prospect Ben Danford is shattering expectations, truly proving how good of a player he can be. The Toronto Maple Leafs' defensive prospect, Ben Danford, is among the 44 players who were invited to Hockey Canada's World Juniors Summer Showcase. Hockey Canada finally unveiled the 44 prospects who will head to Minnesota for the showcase, after they held the roster release back while the organization dealt with several injuries, which begins Sunday and runs through August 2 in Minneapolis. Defensive prospect Ben Danford is the only Maple Leafs player invited to the annual showcase, where Canada's World Junior staff will get their first look at what their team might look like for the 2026 World Juniors, which will also take place in Minnesota in December. Danford is being called the best player at the World Juniors Summer Showcase Danford has been exceeding expectations, and one source revealed that he has been the best player at the World Junior Showcase so far. The source said Danford is steady, smart, and hard to ignore on the ice. 'Ben Danford has been the best player at the World Junior Showcase he's steady, smart, and impossible to ignore. Makes every shift count, whether he's breaking up plays or starting the rush. Canada's blue line is in good hands.' - An unnamed source The Maple Leafs selected Danford with their first pick (31st overall) at the 2024 NHL Draft. During his visit to Toronto's development camp earlier this month, the defender revealed that he's receiving mentorship from current Leafs defensemen as well as some alumni like Mark Giordano. The 6-foot-2 Danford could make for an excellent fit for Canada should he make the team. He is responsible in his own end, and he demonstrated leadership capabilities when he was named captain of the Oshawa Generals ahead of the 2024-25 OHL season.

Steelers' Week 1 Matchup Against Jets Just Got More Challenging For DK Metcalf After Big Change In New York

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially have 2025 training camp underway and the regular season will be here before the fan base knows it. Head Coach Mike Tomlin really values the team development periods, and this one will be crucial for a roster that looks a whole lot different than it did a season ago. One of the new players that the team will rely on immediately, aside from Aaron Rodgers, will be his anticipated top target in DK Metcalf. The former Seattle Seahawks wideout was traded to the Steel City just prior to the start of the new league year, and was rewarded with a massive contract extension. The first opportunity for Rodgers and Metcalf to work together when the games count will come in Week 1 when the Steelers travel to play the New York Jets. There are plenty of storylines to go along with the contest, as Rodgers is set to face his former team, and Justin Fields will also be competing against Pittsburgh, an organization that he played for in 2024. A big-time matchup to keep an eye on will be Metcalf going up against one of the best cornerbacks in the league in Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner. The defender is phenomenal in coverage, but throughout his career, hasn't really gotten an opportunity to strictly follow an opposing team's best receiver. With Aaron Glenn now running the show in New York, that is set to change, as reported by Rich Cimini of ESPN. "Gardner has quietly yearned to cover the opponents' No. 1 receiver," Cimini wrote. "In the previous defensive scheme, zone-based, he did it only a handful of times each season, mostly in the red zone. He said it might be in the new scheme, which is expected to rely heavily on man-to-man coverage. Gardner also said he might get some blitzing opportunities, which he relishes." While a top option in any franchise's passing game would occasionally get the chance to escape being covered by Gardner in the past, that seems to be a trend that will end under Glenn's leadership. If the Jets plan to play more man-to-man coverage, as noted by Cimini, there is no reason why Gardner won't be following Metcalf's every move in Week 1, making the matchup a little bit more challenging for the veteran wide receiver. The Steelers didn't trade for, and then pay Metcalf an average of over $30 million per year, to have him watch his quarterback hand the ball of. The pass-catcher is expected to be heavily involved in Pittsburgh's offensive scheme, and he will have a very tough battle right off the bat when the organization travels to play in New York in September. This will give fans a great idea of just how dangerous the duo of Rodgers and Metcalf can be. It may help that Rodgers had plenty of time practicing against Gardner, so the veteran may know some potential weaknesses that aren't really public knowledge. Gardner recently detailed in an interview that he is looking forward to the Week 1 contest. “I think it’s going to be fun,” Gardner said. “There’s going to be a lot of smiling out there, a lot of competing out there. I’m looking forward to it. I know Aaron is a competitor. They’ve got DK over there, who also is a competitor. I think it’s going to be a pretty good game.” The saying is that to be the best, one has to beat the best. That's exactly what will happen when the Steelers and Jets face off against one another. The hope is that Metcalf can beat Gardner several times, but it won't be easy, and now the corner may end up shadowing Pittsburgh's top receiving option. Steelers Have To Start Off 2025 On The Right Foot Pittsburgh had an epic collapse to end the 2024 campaign, but still slipped into the playoffs due to an impressive 10-3 start. Beginning any season strong is extremely important for all NFL franchises, so it will be crucial for the team to be ready for the Jets in Week 1. Metcalf will have to start earning his big deal right off the bat, as he is expected to go up against one of the game's best in Gardner.

New York Mets surprisingly inquired on All-Star second baseman

Surprise, surprise. The New York Mets currently have a bit of a log jam in their infield, but that hasn't stopped them from showing interest in adding to this area. According to MLB insider Joel Sherman of The New York Post, the Mets have inquired about Tampa Bay Rays All-Star second baseman Brandon Lowe. The Mets are in the market for a center fielder and have checked in on Luis Robert Jr., as sources told Mets On SI last week. However, MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports reported that the Chicago White Sox want third baseman/DH Mark Vientos in any deal for Robert. With Robert having a down year, plus having a $20 million club option attached to him in each of the next two seasons, the Mets might be better off holding onto Vientos and his four more years of control. Instead, the Mets could land Lowe, who is posting a big year in Tampa, place him at second base and keep Jeff McNeil in center field. The only dilemma this would create is less playing time for either Ronny Mauricio or Brett Baty, both of whom have shown promise as of late. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza has been able to play McNeil in center, Mauricio at third and Baty at second on certain days. Depending on who would be traded for Lowe, some of this flexibility would evaporate. All of that being said, Lowe, 31, is a serious hitter. In 86 games, the left-handed bat is slashing .269/.320/.480 with a .800 OPS, 19 home runs and 50 RBI. There is no denying that Lowe would add a major boost to a Mets lineup that is beginning to come into its own lately. The only knock against Lowe's game is his defense. Lowe ranks dead last among MLB second basemen in Outs Above Average with -10 and has -12 defensive runs saved this season. If the Mets were to acquire Lowe it'd be to strengthen their lineup not their defense. The Mets could be better off landing a slugger of Lowe's caliber as opposed to bringing in a center fielder in what is shaping up to be a weak market.
