NASCAR's Stewart Friesen suffers multiple injuries in dirt racing track crash
Jessica Friesen, Stewart's wife, took to social media to share details from her husband's CT scans. The scans revealed that while competing in a Super DIRTcar Series race at Autodrome Drummond, Stewart suffered an unstable open-book pelvic fracture and a fractured right leg, both of which will require surgery.
According to NASCAR, the injuries occurred after Frisen's No. 44 car tipped onto its right side and collided with the end of the outside retaining wall. The impact caused the car to flip and barrel-roll before erupting into flames then being struck by a competitor who was unable to avoid the crash.

Cardinals training camp: Zaven Collins getting some ILB looks
The Arizona Cardinals began their second week of training camp this week and early in the week, there was an interesting change. Those in attendance noticed that outside linebacker Zaven Collins was in a different position. He was lined up off the ball at inside linebacker with Mack Wilson. This, of course, would be a very interesting change, as he was drafted originally to play inside linebacker but moved to the edge when Jonathan Gannon became head coach. He also saw snaps at outside linebacker. This led to a question for head coach Jonathan Gannon on Tuesday — what is the plan with Collins? The plan, per Gannon, is to "play outside linebacker and utilize his versatility." So will we see him at both positions? Perhaps, but this isn't anything different than how he has been used over the last two years. Collins will tell you that he hasn't just been at the edge. He has lined up on inside on the defensive line, played off the ball and blitzed from the inside. It just happened to be that on those snaps, he was back where he started. The Cardinals' third-down package on defense, sometimes called their "Nascar" package because it deploys five or six linebackers with either one or no defensive tackle on the field. They all stand up at the line of scrimmage, makinig it difficult for the opposing quarterback to identify who is rushing, who is dropping and where the assignments on defense will be. So while it was surprising in practice to see him in an old spot, we shouldn't expect it much once the regular season begins.

Wallaroos' mixed injury news ahead of last pre-Cup Test
Wallaroos attacking weapon Maya Stewart has made a rapid recovery from knee surgery to earn a start in the side's final home Test before the World Cup. The winger and 2024 Wallaroos player of the year is among the inclusions as coach Jo Yapp confirmed sweeping changes for the Wales rematch at North Sydney Oval on Friday. Stewart was injured in the side's season-opening defeat of Fiji on May 3 and missed the next five Tests, four of which have been losses. That includes an upset defeat by the touring Welsh in Brisbane last week, a reality check ahead of the World Cup in England next month. Stewart, whose 15 Test tries is a Wallaroos record, shifts Waiaria Ellis to the bench while Faitala Moleka and Samantha Wood start at flyhalf and scrumhalf respectively. Michaela Leonard is back at lock after being rested last week while Faliki Pohiva has overcome a hamstring injury and will start in the front row. Props Eva Karpani (back) and Bree-Anna Browne (leg) were both injured in Brisbane, with Western Force's Alapeta Ngauamo rushed into the squad and likely to earn a fourth cap off the bench. "We were disappointed with last week's performance," Yapp said of the 21-12 Ballymore loss. "We've all had some honest reviews, and we are pleased with how the squad has responded at training. "We know Alapeta will come in and do a great job and we are also excited for Maya Stewart's return after injury." Yapp has been dealt her share of injury blows during this campaign. Rugby sevens gun Bienne Terita (hamstring) has been ruled out of the World Cup, while fellow Olympic sevens star Charlotte Caslick (ankle) and regular captain Siokapesi Palu (foot) are targeting returns during the showpiece tournament. WALLAROOS: Faliki Pohiva, Katalina Amosa, Bridie O'Gorman, Kaitlan Leaney, Michaela Leonard, Piper Duck, Emily Chancellor (c), Tabua Tuinakauvadra, Samantha Wood, Faitala Moleka, Desiree Miller, Trilleen Pomare, Georgina Friedrichs, Maya Stewart, Caitlyn Halse. Bench: Tania Naden, Lydia Kavoa, Alapeta Ngauamo, Ashley Fernandez, Ashley Marsters, Layne Morgan, Tia Hinds, Waiaria Ellis.
