Lions rookie S Dan Jackson (leg) placed on injured reserve
August 5 - A day after exiting practice with a leg injury, Detroit Lions safety Dan Jackson is heading to injured reserve. The Lions did not set a timetable for the rookie's return, although Detroit coach Dan Campbell told reporters that the injury "doesn't look good." He added that "it looks like he's going to be down for a while." The Lions drafted Jackson with the 230th overall pick in the draft after he garnered third-team All-SEC honors last year while at Georgia, where he finished third on the team with 64 tackles. Jackson was not the only defensive back to leave practice early Sunday, as 2024 second-round cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. suffered a shoulder injury that will cause him to miss time. Campbell did not provide additional details on Rakestraw, including a timetable to return, only saying that "it's going to be a while at best." --Field Level Media

Astros 3B Isaac Paredes (hamstring) chooses rehab over surgery
August 4 - There will be no surgery for Isaac Paredes after he suffered a "significant" hamstring strain last month. Instead, the Houston Astros third baseman will rehab with the hopes of returning for a potential World Series run. Astros general manager Dana Brown told reporters that Paredes, 26, received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and will need to undergo a "long period of letting it rest" before he can begin exercising again. "In his whole opinion on this, he wants to work hard to try and get back this season," Brown said before Houston's game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. "Of course, he's going to dedicate himself to getting back." A two-time All-Star, including this season, Paredes has missed the past 14 games after suffering the injury on July 19 in Seattle. After seeking multiple opinions on the best course of action, Paredes chose to rehab -- especially after some suggested he undergo surgery, which could carry a recovery time of at least six months. While Brown did not specify the grade of strain Paredes suffered, he emphasized that the injury was "significant" and "enough that it could require surgery if he wanted it." "I'm optimistic because he's dedicated to coming back from this severe hamstring strain," Brown said. "That gives me some optimism. I think he is watching what's going on here and he wants to be a part of it. I think he's going to work his tail off to try and get back." As the Astros prep for their 113th game of the regular season, the team holds a 2 1/2-game lead for the American League West. Paredes leads Houston with 19 home runs while batting a career-best .259. With him sidelined, however, the Astros brought back Carlos Correa, who made the switch from shortstop to third base. The team also obtained Ramon Urias to further bolster the position. --Field Level Media

Report: Toronto FC acquiring M Djordje Mihailovic from Rapids
August 4 - Toronto FC are making a splash by acquiring star midfielder Djordje Mihailovic from the Colorado Rapids for an $8 million transfer fee, GiveMeSport reported Monday. The Rapids, in the thick of the playoff hunt, did not want to move Mihailovic at first, but the U.S. men's national team player requested they approve Toronto's bid, per the report. The $8 million fee would mark a club record for Colorado. There is a reported $1 million in add-ons and a sell-on percentage tied to the deal. Mihailovic, 26, is headed to his fourth MLS club. He joined the Rapids ahead of the 2024 season after time with the Chicago Fire (2017-20), CF Montreal (2021-22) and the Dutch club AZ Alkmaar (2023). Mihailovic has nine goals with seven assists through 24 matches (all starts) this season, on pace to break the career highs of 11 goals he set last year. In 187 career MLS matches, Mihailovic has recorded 40 goals and 21 assists. He has also made 11 appearances for the USMNT, scoring one goal. Toronto (5-13-6, 21 points) sits in a distant 12th place in the Eastern Conference, 14 points out of the ninth and final playoff spot. Colorado (8-11-6, 30 points), meanwhile, holds ninth place in the West. --Field Level Media
