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, $76 million 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.
New York Yankees star Aaron Judge missed Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with an elbow injury, and the slugger is now headed to the injured list. The Yankees fell 9-4 to the Phillies on Saturday at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., which marked their third consecutive loss. Judge played in Friday night's 12-5 loss to Philadelphia, but Aaron Boone announced before Saturday's game that Judge was dealing with an "elbow issue" and would sit out. Following his team's latest loss, Boone shared some new information about Judge's injury. Judge has been diagnosed with a flexor strain, but the Yankees believe he can return in less than two weeks. When Judge returns to the lineup, Boone said it will initially be as a designated hitter. Judge is having an outstanding season. He entered Saturday batting .342, which is the best mark in baseball. The reigning American League MVP has 37 home runs, 85 RBI and a 1.160 OPS. The Yankees are now six games behind the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays and fighting to remain atop the wild-card race. It goes without saying that they are hopeful Judge will be able to return as soon as possible.
Oilers insider Bob Stauffer revealed that a great fit on the blue line for Edmonton lies with the division rival Anaheim Ducks, and Olen Zellweger could be a target. The Edmonton Oilers' second defensive pairing will significantly vary from one offseason to the next, with four of their seven best defencemen, Mattias Ekholm, Jake Walman, Brett Kulak, and Troy Stecher, in the free agency equation as unrestricted ones next summer. It will seem as though two of them will commit to extensions before the offseason starts, but one or two are likely gone. If any of Jake Walman, Mattias Ekholm, or Brett Kulak exit, the Oilers will need veteran NHL depth. With the club possibly slimmer on the back end, GM Stan Bowman will want to prepare for the future. Though the Atro Leppanen signing is promising, there is one intriguing candidate skating around with a division rival: Olen Zellweger of the Anaheim Ducks, per Oilers insider Bob Stauffer. Bob Stauffer linked to the Oilers...This player is Olen Zellweger from the Anaheim Ducks. Olen Zellweger is the best candidate for the job, and he showed it last season with seven goals and 20 points in 62 contests. In spite of production, he sat as a healthy scratch for about one-fourth of the season and played below 19 minutes per contest. Repors reveal that Zellweger is not happy with the current situation in Anaheim He and Pavel Mintyukov were not pleased with the situation, reports say. The Zellweger contract with Anaheim might present a mid-season trade possibility. Zellweger's abilities and age fit in well with the future for the Oilers. If the Oilers are looking to create cap space and clear room for him, it could be a bold but savvy idea to trade someone like Kulak to Anaheim in return, or elsewhere. It wouldn't be easy given Kulak's role to date, but they have already made tough choices to get younger, and this one could pay off well in the long run.
A boat trip is sparking speculation that two of the NBA’s biggest names could eventually team up with the Nuggets, according to BasketNews. In an Instagram post on Saturday, Misko Raznatovic, the longtime agent for Nikola Jokic, shared photos of himself with LeBron James and Maverick Carter, James’ business partner, in St. Tropez. Raznatovic added the caption, “The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026! @kingjames @mavcarter.” Speculation has been building that James could be on the move — whether it’s during the upcoming season or next summer — since he picked up his $52.6M player option. That decision was accompanied by a statement from his agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, who said the 40-year-old star still wants to compete for championships and would be monitoring the Lakers‘ offseason moves. The Cavaliers, Mavericks, Warriors and Knicks are among the teams that have been mentioned as future homes for James, but the Nuggets also make sense from a competitive standpoint. James is coming off a second team All-NBA season, and partnering him with Jokic could significantly bolster Denver’s title chances. The Nuggets couldn’t afford to give James another $50M contract with Jokic ($59M) and Jamal Murray ($50.1M) already on their books for 2026-27 and beyond. Aaron Gordon ($32M) and Cameron Johnson ($23M) will also limit the Nuggets’ financial flexibility, but James might be willing to accept a smaller salary to join a team that would give him a chance to win a fifth ring. There seems to be a growing sense around the league that this will be James’ final season with the Lakers as the team focuses on building around Luka Doncic and prioritizes cap space for the summer of 2027. James has been an All-NBA selection in each of his seven seasons since coming to L.A. in 2019 and delivered a title in 2020.
