Miami Dolphins linebacker Chop Robinson injured during practice, carted off field
On Wednesday, linebacker Chop Robinson was carted off the field during a joint practice with the Detroit Lions in a suburb of Detroit, according to CBS Miami news partner The Miami Herald.
It's unclear what happened on the play that left Robinson injured.
According to the Herald, Robinson didn't seem to be favoring any particular body part, so it was not immediately clear whether it was concussion symptoms or a physical injury.
Last year in his rookie season, Robinson had six sacks.
During last Sunday's pre-season game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, running back Alexander Mattison injured his neck and was taken by an ambulance to a local hospital where he underwent season-ending surgery.
Mattison was hurt when he was tackled on a 21-yard pass in the beginning of the fourth quarter. In the second quarter, he scored the Dolphins' opening touchdown.
Mattison was signed to a one-year contract in the offseason. He was third on the team's depth chart behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, according to ESPN.
Last month, cornerback Kader Kohou's season ended after he suffered a knee injury during a practice.
Kohou went down grabbing at his right knee after a one-on-one rep against receiver Tyreek Hill during practice. He remained down for a couple minutes while being looked at by trainers before walking gingerly but under his own power off the Dolphins' practice field.
Head coach Mike McDaniel said Kohou will go on injured reserve.
New safety Ashtyn Davis was also injured during a practice in July. While McDaniel did not provide any details about the leg injury, he said it was not something that would keep him out for the rest of the season.
On the first day of training camp, July 23, offensive lineman Bayron Matos was airlifted to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital after suffering an injury at the end of the practice.
His agent, Perlesta Hollingworth, told CBS Miami news partner The Miami Herald that he had an inadvertent collision with a teammate. Hollingsworth said Matos had an above the shoulder type injury," but he wasn't sure if it involved the neck or spine.
Matos was hospitalized for several days for observation and was subsequently released.

Aaron Rodgers, T.J. Watt, and most other Steelers stars will skip preseason meeting with Tampa Bay
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Tomlin is in no rush to see Aaron Rodgers in a game situation. The NFL's oldest player is going to sit out Pittsburgh's meeting with Tampa Bay, meaning the four-time MVP most likely won't make his official debut with the Steelers until the season opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 7. While Tomlin declined to officially rule out Rodgers for Pittsburgh's preseason finale with Carolina on Aug. 21, the NFL's longest tenured coach has rarely made starters available for the final exhibition game. Star outside linebacker T.J. Watt, wide receiver DK Metcalf, defensive back Jalen Ramsey and tight ends Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth also will sit out for a second straight week. Linebacker Patrick Queen and defensive end Cam Heyward — who is 'holding in' amid a contract dispute — also will get the day off. 'Some of those veteran guys I mentioned have been doing it for a long time and particularly at a high level,' Tomlin said. 'Coupled with the fact that I've liked what I've seen from them in a practice setting, is the reason why sometimes I move that collective out of the way.' ___ AP NFL:

Aaron Rodgers, along with other Steelers veterans, won't play in second preseason game versus Buccaneers
The Pittsburgh Steelers' opponent has changed, but the same thing can't be said for Mike Tomlin's approach to player participation this preseason. For the second week in a row, the longtime Steelers head coach is keeping a crew of veterans, namely quarterback Aaron Rodgers, sidelined during exhibition play, this time on Saturday at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "I'm going to play this preseason game very much like we did the first one, in terms of participation," Tomlin told reporters Thursday. "The same collection of guys that were held out the last time will comprise the guys that are held out this time." In other words, Rodgers; wide receiver DK Metcalf; running back Jaylen Warren; tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith; guard Isaac Seumalo; defensive tackle Cam Heyward; linebacker Patrick Queen; edge rushers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith; cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay and Joey Porter Jr.; and safety DeShon Elliott won't take the field. "We'll make our decisions on a week-to-week basis," Tomlin said, "based on development and performance. As I mentioned repeatedly in this process, different guys for a variety of reasons need different amounts of work in an effort to be ready and in an effort for us to evaluate their talent level or what they're capable of. "Some of those veteran guys I mentioned have been doing it for a long time, and particularly at a high level, coupled with the fact that I've liked what I've seen from them in a practice setting." Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP who is now with his third team at 41 years old, signed with the Steelers on a one-year deal ahead of mandatory minicamp in June. While he won't take his first game snaps with the Steelers this weekend, he can still get meaningful reps against the Bucs Thursday during the teams' joint practice. Tomlin said that although Pittsburgh will follow its normal practice schedule Thursday, it will make the most of an opportunity to face unfamiliar faces and schemes. He mentioned the potential growth that could be had by going up against six-time Pro Bowl receiver Mike Evans in tight red zone, plus the challenge that comes with blocking nose tackle Vita Vea and linebacker Lavonte David in team run periods. "It's good to go against a different team [because] ... you get a chance to go against not-vanilla defenses,' Rodgers said Tuesday, per The Associated Press. "So hopefully [Tampa Bay head coach] Todd [Bowles], he probably won't show everything, but he'll do some stuff to stress our protection and give us a chance to get some film to work on."

Former Gunner named as Premier League club captain
Just a couple of weeks after signing for the club, former Gunner Granit Xhaka has been named the new captain of Sunderland AFC. Photo via Granit Xhaka joined Sunderland AFC on a three-year deal in late July, leaving Bayer Leverkusen after two seasons and three trophies with the German club. Xhaka's new club have clearly already taken to him, as just a fortnight after his arrival he's been named their club captain. 'It makes me incredibly proud to be captain of this Club and of this team,' Xhaka said. 'I hope to show my leadership on and off the pitch, helping my team-mates in the training ground and across the Club. 'To be part of Sunderland's history, alongside some of the names who have worn the armband before, is an honour. People who know me know exactly what they'll get – I'm someone who demands a lot. I'm a winner and I want to win – and I expect the same from my team-mates.' Photo byXhaka had also worn the captain's armband at Borussia Mönchengladbach and Arsenal, though perhaps the less said the better about the latter stint. The midfielder is also wearing the number 34 shirt at Sunderland, just as he did at Arsenal. Sunderland spent in the region of €20m (£17.2m) for Xhaka, and they clearly intend for him to be a key part of their team in 2025/26. Photo byBefore his move to Leverkusen, Xhaka spent seven years in the Premier League with Arsenal. The 32-year-old won two FA Cups and two Community Shields with the Gunners. 2025/26 will bring his first competitive fixtures playing against his old club, with the two clubs set to meet on the weekend of November 8-9th.
