Drew Adams sidelined with broken finger suffered at High Point
'In Moto 2, I had a decent start and was moving forward until I had a little tip-over,' Adams said on social media. 'I got back up and made up a few positions, then ended up having another tip-over and suffered a small break in my index finger on my left hand.'
Adams finished 16th in the first moto at High Point but was forced to retire in the second race and finished 21st overall.
Adams showed flashes of speed in the first three rounds of the 2025 season, finishing in the top 10 in one moto each weekend. He was coming off a career-best fifth-place result in the first moto at Thunder Valley MX Park in Lakewood, Colorado, before suffering his injury.
The freshman rider left High Point 16th in the Motocross standings and 18th in combined SuperMotocross League points.
A timeline for his return has not been announced.

Sean Payton shortened play calls and developed 'entirely new' RPOs for Bo Nix
During an interview with FanDuel TV's Kay Adams on the Up & Adams show last week, Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton revealed two interesting nuggets about the team's operation going into quarterback Bo Nix's second season in the NFL. First, Payton said some of the language for his notoriously long play calls has been simplified. "We put the [playbook] together in a way where, instead of calling '22, flanker drive, halfback burst,' we might just call it 'Uber,'" Payton told Adams. "Them being able to get to the line of scrimmage and use one word -- these players are operating and thinking differently and more spontaneously." That's probably something Russell Wilson would have appreciated in Denver as the offense was oft-criticized for getting out of the huddle slowly during the Wilson era. Another interesting nugget: Payton said, "There's an entirely new element to the RPOs that [Nix is] comfortable with, that we're comfortable with. That we've researched and we develop those into the plan." The conversation about changes with the offense starts around the 12-minute mark of the interview: The shorter play calls should help Nix get in and out of the huddle efficiently, and the run-pass options (RPOs) will be fascinating to watch this season. Nix threw 80 times for 692 yards and rushed 11 times for 45 yards on RPOs last season, according to Pro Football Reference. Expect to see a new wrinkle to those types of plays in 2025.

Michigan QB Bryce Underwood tops the list of freshmen who could make an immediate impact
Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood, the nation's No. 1 recruit in his class, has spent months getting ready in hopes of starting the 14th-ranked Wolverines' season opener against New Mexico. It follows an outstanding high school career in which Underwood threw for 11,488 yards and 152 touchdowns while leading Belleville to a 50-4 record and two Michigan state championships. The 6-foot-4 freshman heads our list of freshmen who could make a major impact this season. Underwood arrived on campus in time for spring practice and went 12 of 26 for 187 yards in the spring game, throwing an interception but also delivering an 88-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Hoffman on a reverse flea-flicker. 'He's grown every single day since he's been on campus,' Michigan coach Sherrone Moore told reporters at Big Ten media days last month. 'He's been with us since December. Continues to do everything he can to be, one, the best teammate he can be; two, to be the best student he can be; and then three, to be the best football player that he can be and quarterback that he can be for our football team.' Michigan fans would love to see better quarterback production after the Wolverines followed up their 2023 national championship with an 8-5 season in which they threw more interceptions (13) than touchdown passes (12). Underwood could change that. He was committed to LSU for much of his recruitment but changed his mind and signed with Michigan in December after a sales pitch that included a FaceTime chat with former Michigan quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady. Underwood has made quite an early impression on his new coaches. 'He does everything the right way,' Moore said. 'He makes sure that he attacks everything the best way.' Michigan isn't the only Big Ten school that could be starting a freshman quarterback. Maryland's Malik Washington was competing with UCLA transfer Justyn Martin and Khristian Martin, who aren't related, as the Terrapins prepare to open their season against Florida Atlantic. Here are six other freshmen who could make immediate contributions. No. 4 Clemson has some experience at defensive tackle with DeMontre Capehart and Peter Woods returning from last year's playoff team, but Adams could be strong enough to earn a featured role as well. Adams, who is 6-4 and 310 pounds, was the No. 3 defensive lineman and No. 22 overall prospect in his class according to the composite ranking of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports. 'He's just not a normal freshman,' Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. 'He's a really, really talented young player.' Another defensive lineman who bears watching is Georgia's Elijah Griffin, who was ranked third overall in the 247Sports composite. BYU has an uncertain quarterback situation after the summertime departure of 2024 starter Jake Retzlaff, who is now at Tulane. Retzlaff's exit left Bachmeier and McCae Hillstead competing for the starting spot. Bachmeier initially signed with Stanford but transferred after the March firing of coach Troy Taylor. Bachmeier isn't the only Big 12 freshman quarterback who could earn an immediate starting role. Julian Lewis was competing with Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter at Colorado. The 5-11 wideout accumulated more than 3,400 receiving yards and scored 40 touchdowns during his high school career at Duncanville (Texas). The 247Sports composite had him as the No. 1 wide receiver and No. 4 overall prospect in his class. Moore could provide an immediate boost for an Oregon receiving unit that could use the help with Evan Stewart injured and Jurrion Dickey suspended indefinitely. Stewart, who caught 48 passes for 613 yards and five touchdowns last season, is expected to miss at least part of the season after tearing his patellar tendon in June. Pickett came to No. 9 LSU from Zephyrhills (Fla.) High School as the nation's No. 2 cornerback and No. 11 overall prospect in his class, according to the 247Sports composite. He could provide an immediate upgrade for an LSU defense that intercepted just six passes last season, the fewest in the SEC. No. 24 Tennessee must replace four starters from the offensive line that helped the Volunteers earn a playoff berth last season. That creates plenty of opportunity for Sanders, who came out of Charlotte, N.C., as the 247Sports composite's No. 6 overall prospect in his class. Sanders, who is 6-6 and 305 pounds, is expected to open the season as Tennessee's starting right tackle. Wilson provided a tantalizing glimpse of his potential by catching 10 passes for 195 yards in No. 15 Florida's spring game, though he suffered a lower-leg injury that has sidelined him for part of preseason camp. The 6-3 wideout caught 130 passes for 2,424 yards and 30 touchdowns in his high school career in Tampa. Wilson signed with Florida after initially committing to Oregon. He was ranked as the nation's No. 35 overall prospect and No. 8 wide receiver in his class by the 247Sports composite.

Mikkel Haarup breaks collarbone in Unadilla mid-air crash
Mikkel Haarup collided with another rider on Lap 5 of Moto 1 on the Unadilla National in New Berlin, New York, and broke his collarbone, ending what could be described as a Cinderella Season. "Had a good day going, before going down first moto connected with another rider in the air," Haarup said on social media. "Getting checked up and put back together. Shout out to my team for the help and the hard work! Appreciate all the positive energy!" Haarup aged out of the MXGP small bike division, and since Factory Triumph would not have their 450 ready until 2026, the decision was made to bring him to the United States for Pro Motocross. Haarup scored his first top-10 in Round 2 of the season when he was scored seventh overall with results of 10th in Moto 1 and ninth in Moto 2. His first top five came on the Fourth of July weekend in the RedBud National with a fourth-place result overall. In total, Haarup earned seven top-10s and an 11th in 10 rounds of 2025, which allowed him to rise in the SuperMotocross standings quickly. Despite failing to earn any points in Unadilla, Haarup left the track 13th in the combined SuperMotocross standings with an 84-point advantage over the cutline, so his invitation to the playoffs was guaranteed. The first round of the playoffs begins on September 6 at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, and while the team has not stated outright that he is done for the season, collarbone injuries typically take longer to recover from than the time available.
