Eliud Kipsang, a native of Kenya, had the cardiac episode on June 6 and was rushed to a hospital in Washington state. He passed away on June 10 at the age of 28 after spending multiple days in the ICU. A GoFundMe has been set up for Kipsang to be repatriated to his home country.

Eagles first-round pick Jihaad Campbell idle until August
June 3 - Philadelphia Eagles fans will have to wait until training camp to see first-round pick Jihaad Campbell in action. Drafted 31st overall out of Alabama in April, the 21-year-old linebacker is recovering from surgery in March to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. "He won't hit the practice field until sometime in August," defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday. "We're doing all we can, he's doing all he can in meetings. We're doing all we can with him on the field. I take him to the side and do an individual drill with him that's suited to what he can do right now. He's working good and trying to pick it up." Fangio added that Campbell, 21, will start off working at inside linebacker when he returns. Any move to the edge will have to wait until the team evaluates his recovery status. Campbell recorded 5.0 sacks, 12 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles in 13 games for the Crimson Tide in 2024, earning a spot on the All-Southeastern Conference first team. --Field Level Media
