Dallas Cowboys training camp star gets unfortunate injury update
One of the breakout stars of the offseason workout program for the Dallas Cowboys was tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford, who joined the team as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL draft. Spann-Ford has been making plays and impressing the coaching staff throughout OTAs, minicamp, and the first week of training camp. Unfortunately, he will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. On Monday, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer revealed the promising tight end is likely "out a few weeks" with an ankle injury. Spann-Ford had been locked in one of the most heated training camp battles with former second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker for the backup tight end job behind Jake Ferguson, who inked a contract extension with Dallas over the weekend. Ferguson agreed to a four-year extension worth $52 million in new money, with $30 million guaranteed, so there is no question about who the team's starter will be. Depending on when Spann-Ford is able to return to the field, however, could determine who locks up the TE2 gig for the start of the regular season. The Cowboys kick off the 2025 preseason on Saturday, August 9, before facing the division rival Philadelphia Eagles in the regular season opener on Thursday, September 4.
Fever Coach Stephanie White Has Given One Player the Green Light Amid Caitlin Clark's Injury
Caitlin Clark is expected to sit out for a fourth straight game on Sunday when the Indiana Fever take on the Chicago Sky in a much-awaited rivalry matchup. The 23-year-old is still dealing with a reaggravated groin strain and has no timetable to return. The rest of her Fever teammates have had to step up in her absence. There is, perhaps, no other player who has taken a bigger role on the offensive end amid Clark’s injury spell than three-time All-Star Kelsey Mitchell. Mitchell, however, struggled with her shot in Thursday’s win against the Las Vegas Aces. The 5-foot-8 guard shot the ball poorly in the first three quarters, going just 4-of-19 from the field for 12 points. Mitchell caught fire in the fourth, though. She went 4-of-5 in the final frame for nine points, finishing with a game-high 21 points on 8-of-24 shooting. This is exactly why head coach Stephanie White remains completely confident in Mitchell’s scoring ability. The veteran coach has made it clear that she has given Mitchell the green light to shoot the rock. “The biggest thing with Kelsey is just telling her, ‘Let it fly.’ It’s going to go,” White said after Thursday’s win against Las Vegas. "... Keep shooting it from outside. She made some big ones when we needed them.” Kelsey Mitchell Has Stepped up Amid Clark's Injury Mitchell has answered the call for the Fever of late. In the three games Clark has been sidelined, Mitchell has put up averages of 22.0 points on 42.9% shooting. She also knocked down 2.7 triples during that stretch on a 34.8% clip. The 29-year-old veteran will need to keep her foot on the gas on Sunday as the Fever try to take down the Sky at United Center. With Clark watching from the bench, the Fever will rely on Mitchell’s scoring against Chicago as they look to improve on their 13-12 record. The Fever and Sky meet at 3 p.m. ET Sunday on ABC.
Steelers' Pat Freiermuth Explains What Really Made Him So Furious During Training Camp
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot of new faces at their training camp. That’s why every little clip that leaks out gets picked apart, with fans and analysts looking for any signs of drama or tension. However, while some of these moments may seem like a big deal on social media, inside the team, they’re often viewed as just part of the normal grind of NFL training camp. One of the latest examples came during a practice where tight end Pat Freiermuth ran a route, but didn’t get the ball. Cameras caught him throwing his hands up in frustration, and the clip quickly spread online. Many fans claimed Freiermuth was already irritated with Aaron Rodgers, accusing the veteran quarterback of locking in on DK Metcalf and freezing out other weapons. On Monday, Freiermuth addressed the situation during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. He explained that the moment had nothing to do with Rodgers or anyone else on the field. His frustration came from running the wrong route and feeling like he messed up the play. Internally, the team didn’t view the moment as anything out of the ordinary, but the outside noise made it something bigger than it really was. "I was definitely not pouting," Freiermuth said. "I was pis*ed at myself, threw my hands up... I ran the wrong route. I made the play look like sh**." For Steelers fans who followed the entire Rodgers saga closely, Freiermuth was actually one of the most vocal players recruiting Rodgers to Pittsburgh. Rodgers himself revealed that Freiermuth had been sending him direct messages on Instagram practically begging him to come to the Steel City. Just a few days into training camp, it seemed like Freiermuth was already upset with Rodgers. However, after getting more context, it’s clear that you have to take these training camp updates and clips with a huge grain of salt. "I was throwing my hands up in frustration at myself," Freiermuth said. "Definitely not showing up my quarterback." The way Pat McAfee broke this down on his show was hysterical. His co-hosts could not stop laughing as they used their best Pittsburgh slang to imitate what Yinzers were probably thinking about Freiermuth’s alleged pouting moment. The energy in the studio was lighthearted and fun, poking fun at how quickly fans can jump to conclusions based on a short clip from practice. They joked about how every little gesture gets dissected by Steelers fans who are always looking for signs of drama or tension on the team. It was a reminder that sometimes what looks like a big deal is really just part of the everyday grind of NFL training camp. As they explained, Freiermuth was not upset with Rodgers or any of his teammates. Instead, he was frustrated with himself for running the wrong route which caused him to miss out on a play. This honest reaction from Freiermuth, throwing his hands up in frustration, was simply a sign of his competitive nature and desire to perform well, not a sign of conflict. The hosts emphasized how important it is to remember that players hold themselves to high standards and often show frustration when they do not execute perfectly. It is part of what drives them to improve and it should not be mistaken for locker room drama. Steelers Fans Very Eager To Find Out How The Team Chemistry Is Shaping Up This moment also highlighted the importance of context when interpreting clips from practice or training camp. With so many new faces and changes on the Steelers, fans are eager for any sign of how the team chemistry is shaping up. However, as the McAfee crew pointed out, clips like this should be taken with a grain of salt. They reminded viewers that training camp is a place for mistakes, learning and growth, and a little frustration here and there is completely normal. Overall, it was a funny yet insightful look at how quickly narratives can form and how sometimes the truth is much simpler than the headlines suggest.
Colorado's Deion Sanders reveals massive medical problem he's been battling this offseason
Shedeur Sanders gets new chance after Browns QB injury
Shedeur Sanders has been working with the Cleveland Browns' equipment staff as the No. 4 quarterback this summer. He'll have a new opportunity following the troubling injury news for Kenny Pickett. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Pickett suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's practice and will not receive reps until his issue is re-evaluated. "Browns QB Kenny Pickett injured his hamstring near the end of Saturday’s practice and is expected to re-evaluate the injury later this week, per sources," Schefter posted on X. "Pickett was coming off a strong couple of practices, per sources, and at least for the short term, there now will be more reps for Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Pickett's injury will shake up the quarterback race in Cleveland. Through OTAs and early in training camp, Sanders has been the odd man out as the only signal caller on the roster not to receive reps with the first-team offense. It's unclear if the Browns coaching staff intends to give Sanders reps with the first-team offense now that Pickett is sidelined, but the fifth-round pick will have more chances this week to prove that he deserves an opportunity to stay in Cleveland. The Browns are in a unique situation with their rookie quarterbacks. Third-round pick Dillon Gabriel was selected before Sanders, but the son of Deion Sanders fell to Day 3 of the draft for reasons other than talent. The majority of draft analysts had Sanders as a better-graded quarterback than Gabriel, and many thought the Colorado product would be taken in the first round. The Browns can use the injury as an excuse to give Sanders reps with the first team, and it's a task they need to take advantage of before the team names a starter. Sanders has the potential to be a starter in the league, and this week is pivotal for his rookie season in Cleveland.
