The Chicago Bears roughed up their preseason opponents, the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, at joint practices this month. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson said the coaching staff has been trying to walk the line of being aggressive but not going overboard. Sometimes the Bears are going too hard, overdoing it at times. “I mean, even (defensive coordinator) Dennis Allen, he’s telling defense we live every day in practice,” Johnson told Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson during an appearance on “Night Cap” Thursday night. “So just really that mentality, as far as going and playing physical is, like, really, just honestly overdoing it really is the thing… What we say, like, toe the line, toe the line line between going too far and really pushing the limits.” Jaylon Johnson notices a big difference in the 2025 Chicago Bears Johnson has missed much of training camp due to a leg injury. He missed the physical practice between the Dolphins and Bears that had Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald complaining about how Allen was coaching up his defense. Johnson said that the entire coaching staff under new head coach Ben Johnson wants a tough and physical culture like has been seen in recent years with the Detroit Lions. “We’re gonna execute,” Jaylon said. “And it’s like, nah, it’s just about whooping the guys in front of you, like, really, like dominating and instilling your will. And I think really just preaching that goes a long way. Because I feel like even in Detroit, for a long time, they didn’t have talented guys, but they had a lot of guys that had grit, as they like to say over there, and guys that work hard, that are tough, and things like that.” Johnson is embracing the change. The Bears should. Dan Campbell’s teams have been successful in recent years in Detroit. The culture is certainly better than the one that folded under Matt Eberflus last season.
Micah Parsons showed up for the Dallas Cowboys' preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons in body only. The star pass-rusher showed no spirit and did not dress amid his hold-in for a contract extension. On Thursday, Parsons scrubbed the Cowboys from his social media feed. During Friday's game, he couldn't be bothered to be with his teammates on the sideline watching the whole game. Per a photo posted on X by The Athletic's Jon Machota, Parsons was seen lying down on a trainer's table during the contest. Parsons' actions come amid a turbulent week between his representation and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. In separate interviews, Jones told both Michael Irvin and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith that he did not plan to back down from his agreement with Parsons to work with agent David Mulugheta. During the pregame show on Friday, Jones boasted to 105.3 The Fan that defensive end is where the Cowboys have the most depth on the roster. "Frankly, our defensive ends may be the best depth, where we have the most talent of any position on the field," Jones said via Machota. "I'm excited about our depth and our numbers at pass rusher. ... I'm concerned because of having space on the roster to keep that many of our guys that have pass rushing ability." Following Friday night's game, the Cowboys' preseason is over. The situation between Jones and Parsons is not ideal for first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who is tasked with trimming the roster to 53 players by Tuesday. If Parsons is traded or chooses not to play in Week 1, Schottenheimer is going to have to decide to take away depth from what Jones sees as a weaker part of the team to boost a unit that is without their best player because he won't negotiate with Mulugheta.
Kevin O'Connell opened his press conference after Friday night's preseason finale in Tennessee by discussing the difficulty of trading away Harrison Phillips, a team captain who had started every single game for Minnesota over the past three seasons. "Did want to start out just talking about Harrison Phillips for a quick second," he said. "Obviously, a tough move to make considering just how impactful he's been to the Minnesota Vikings and our organization, on and off the field. First free agent we signed when Kwesi and I got here, and he was the first one we signed for a reason. The type of man he is, the type of teammate, the type of leader. "Moves like that are not made without a lot of thought. I got a chance to spend a lot of good time with Harrison, and I also had a chance to talk to (Aaron Glenn) and (Darren Mougey) in New York about the type of player they were getting. I know he'll have the same impact there, in a new regime there. As they build their culture up, Harrison Phillips will be great for it." The Vikings clearly felt Phillips was expendable due to the additions of Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave, as well as the progress shown by a wave of young defensive tackles on their roster. But to deal away an impact starter so close to the start of the season comes with some risk. Phillips' departure also creates a void of leadership, although O'Connell doesn't sound too concerned on that front. "The thing that you have to understand, in the (DT) room, acquiring veteran presences like JA and Grave, they've really been immediate impact players on and off the field," he said. "Guys that have sustained it and done it at a high level for a really long time. That doesn't go into the hard decision like that, as far as the leadership goes, but you do know that we've got some ascending players on our roster, offensively and defensively, that are ready to assume that void. We've gotta make sure we're on top of that because of his impact." Injury updates O'Connell also gave some updates on a few young players who got banged up in Friday's game. OLB Tyler Batty (right knee) will be evaluated via MRI. RB Zavier Scott (right ankle) had an early 23-yard run but then left the field limping on one of his next carries. DT Elijah Williams (right hamstring) is a candidate to make the roster in the wake of the Phillips trade, but he could also potentially begin the year on IR (designated to return) if he has a hamstring strain. All three of those players have impressed over the course of training camp. Roster cutdown day is Tuesday, which will mean lots of difficult choices for the Vikings as they go from 90 players down to 53. More Vikings coverage
Super Troopers 3: Winter Soldiers is officially rolling into production this August, bringing back the cult-favorite comedy franchise that first won over audiences in 2001. Fans of Broken Lizard’s offbeat humor can rejoice, Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske are all back as the delightfully chaotic Vermont State Troopers. Chandrasekhar, who directed the first two installments, is once again steering the ship as both director and co-writer, ensuring the third chapter retains the sharp, anarchic spirit that made the series a cult phenomenon. Super Troopers 3: From Cult Classic to Comedy Legacy The franchise began with Super Troopers in 2001, a low-budget indie comedy that grew into a beloved sleeper hit. The 2018 sequel, Super Troopers 2, funded largely through crowdfunding, proved the appetite was still there, grossing over $30 million worldwide. That success cemented Broken Lizard’s ability to blend slapstick chaos with sly, clever nonsense that still resonates with audiences nearly two decades later. Now, with Super Troopers 3: Winter Soldiers, the troupe is ready to push the absurdity even further. A Bold New Cast Joins the Mayhem This time around, the core cast won’t be riding solo. Super Troopers 3 is adding new comedic energy to the mix with several fresh faces: Nat Faxon (The Descendants, Oscar-winner) as Captain Todd Markowski Chace Crawford (The Boys) as Baker Buchanan Andrew Dismukes (Saturday Night Live) as Coy Burns Fan favorites are also back: Brian Cox returns as the ever-gruff Captain John O’Hagan, while Marisa Coughlan reprises her role as Ursula Hanson. The expanded lineup signals plenty of fresh dynamics and new comedic beats that promise to keep both longtime fans and newcomers laughing. Searchlight Pictures and Broken Lizard Team Up Again Super Troopers 3 is being produced with Searchlight Pictures, a frequent partner of Broken Lizard. Searchlight’s president, Matthew Greenfield, praised the franchise for its unique charm, saying the troopers “make the ridiculous feel natural” while spreading “joy and laughter wherever they go.” Chandrasekhar added his flair, declaring: “It’s mustache-growing time!”—a line bound to ignite excitement among fans who’ve long associated the series with its iconic facial hair and mischief. What to Expect from Winter Soldiers While official plot details are being kept under wraps, the subtitle Winter Soldiers suggests a frosty new setting, likely featuring snowbound highways, icy antics, and the troopers’ trademark brand of irreverent comedy. If history is any indication, expect plenty of inside jokes, absurd traffic stops, and unpredictable scenarios that double down on Broken Lizard’s anarchic formula. Looking Ahead Though no release date has been confirmed, Super Troopers 3 is expected to hit theaters in 2026. With audiences increasingly hungry for theatrical comedy, the timing couldn’t be better. The return of the Vermont State Troopers promises not only nostalgia for longtime fans but also fresh laughs for a new generation. After more than 20 years, Super Troopers remains a benchmark for how cult comedies can thrive. And with this latest installment, the franchise looks primed to continue its legacy, blending absurdity, wit, and mustached mischief for years to come.
