Dallas Wings Waive Grace Berger Following Debut Against Seattle Storm
The Dallas Wings have waived guard Grace Berger. The move comes just one day after Berger made her Wings debut in Tuesday’s 87–63 win over the Seattle Storm. Signed to a seven-day hardship contract on July 17, Berger logged four rebounds, two assists, and one block in 10 minutes off the bench in Seattle. Her appearance marked her first WNBA game since playing for the Indiana Fever earlier this season. Before suiting up for Dallas, Berger expressed optimism about the opportunity. “I think they’re an up-and-coming team,” Berger told DallasHoopsJournal.com before the All-Star break. “There are a lot of young players mixed with some good vets that I’ve been watching and playing against for a couple of years. I’m excited to be on their team and learn from them—people like Arike [Ogunbowale], obviously, there’s a lot to learn from her.” Though her time with Dallas was brief, Berger brought a poised presence to the floor and contributed during key second-quarter minutes when the Wings were climbing out of an early deficit. Berger, Indiana’s former No. 7 overall pick in 2023, remains a candidate for future hardship or reserve opportunities around the league. In 28 career WNBA games, she has averaged 2.7 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per contest. Dallas (7–17) returns to action Friday night against the Golden State Valkyries at Chase Center. Tipoff is set for 9 p.m. CT on ION.
Five potential landing spots for Christian Wilkins after stunning Raiders release
The Las Vegas Raiders just stunned the league by releasing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins after only one year with the team. After signing a four-year, $110 million contract, he struggled with injuries in 2024. This was supposed to be a big bounce-back year for Wilkins, but after a dispute between the two sides in regard to how to handle his foot injury, the team decided it was best to part ways. Now, a premier interior disruptor is suddenly available. Assuming his medicals get checked out soon, there should be a lot of interest around the league. Where should he land? Dallas Cowboys Dallas has needed a dominant interior presence for quite some time. Osa Odighizuwa is an awesome threat, but he is only solid against the run. Alongside him, the team will be banking heavily on 2023 first-rounder Mazi Smith, who has been disappointing so far. With Dallas looking to return to the playoffs, adding a stud like Wilkins could give Dallas one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. San Francisco 49ers The 49ers added some young bodies in CJ West and Alfred Collins, yet neither offer a proven, all-around talent like Wilkins could if healthy. The 49ers defensive line was horrid outside of Nick Bosa in 2024, but by adding Wilkins, the team would now have a solid cast of starters with Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams, Wilkins and Kevin Givens/Jordan Elliott. Miami Dolphins A return to Miami makes a ton of sense for both sides. The Dolphins know exactly how to use Wilkins, he knows the building and players, and the transition would be very easy. Miami needs help in the interior defensive line; by plugging Wilkins back into his old role, he could offer the quickest path to high-level impact. Detroit Lions With Levi Onwuzurike out with injury and Detroit needing more juice on the defensive line, adding a proven disruptor like Wilkins could make some sense. He could provide more depth while he gets fully healthy, and he can join a legit Super Bowl contender. His energy and mentality could be a good fit for a Dan Campbell-led squad. Jacksonville Jaguars The Jaguars defense is average in the interior, but they have excellent edge-rushers who would benefit greatly from a strong disruptor up the middle. Wilkins could balance the front, help in the run defense and allow more one-on-ones for their premier edge-rushers. For a team that wants to return to the playoffs as soon as possible, adding a veteran like Wilkins could be a worthy bet to make.
Packers rookie could miss time after suffering injury in training camp
The Green Bay Packers offense was dealt a bit of a blow early in training camp. Friday, third-round rookie wide receiver Savion Williams was a spectator for practice after suffering a concussion. Williams, chosen by the Packers with the No. 87 overall pick in April’s NFL Draft, is aiming to climb the depth chart at a crowded wide receiver position this summer. At 6-foot-4 and 222 pounds, Williams ran the 40-yard dash in a blazing 4.48 seconds during the NFL Combine and has the profile of potentially becoming a reliable possession receiver and after-the-catch weapon for quarterback Jordan Love and the Packers’ offense. Reaching those benchmarks and climbing the depth chart will have to wait, though, as Williams works his way through the concussion protocol and back onto the field for practices during training camp and the preseason this summer.
Vikings Forced Into Tough Situation After Big Jefferson Update
Minnesota Vikings All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson has officially been ruled out of the team's training camp practice due to what the team called a "mild" left hamstring strain, and is set to be re-evaluated sometime next week. Considering the Vikings started training camp on July 22, this puts them in somewhat of a bind for several reasons. This takes away valuable reps for Jefferson to get more familiar with the team's 2024 first-round pick at quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. Justin Jefferson Ruled Out After Training Camp Injury Although it's unclear at this time what led to Jefferson's injury, the news comes one day after he left the team's practice early with "tightness" in his legs. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell didn't seem worried about the injury's impact on Jefferson's ability to be ready for the team's Week 1 game against the Chicago Bears on September 8, expressing that they just wanted to be "cautious." "I see no concerns in regards to the (season) opener," he added. "And I have no worry at all that we'll be able to get Justin ready to go for the regular season." Jefferson and McCarthy's Connection Will be Put on Hold With Jefferson resting his legs, it means he and McCarthy will have to make up for more missed time. Following Thursday's practice, Jefferson expressed that McCarthy is essentially still a rookie, and finds himself having to be patient with the former Michigan quarterback. "You definitely have to have patience, you know he's pretty much a rookie," Jefferson said. "Last year pretty much doesn't count for him. So, he's still new to the scheme, new to coming out here and throwing it to these different receivers. Yes, you have to have that patience. You're not really expecting him to have that same mindset as a veteran." Vikings Offseason Off to Slow Start Without Jefferson, McCarthy will have time to build stronger connections with players such as Jordan Addison, Rondale Moore, Jalen Nailor and star tight end T.J. Hockenson. The Vikings' first preseason game is set for Aug. 9 against the Houston Texans.
