Jets quarterback Justin Fields returns a day after dislocating toe, but doesn't practice

Yahooa day ago
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Justin Fields returned to the practice field Friday but didn't participate in drills a day after dislocating a toe on his right foot.
Fields, who was carted from the field Thursday early in practice, is being evaluated by the Jets on a daily basis.
Fields wore his helmet as he spent most of practice on the sideline and with the rest of the offense while appearing to walk without a noticeable limp. Veteran backup Tyrod Taylor led the offense during practice, with Adrian Martinez and rookie Brady Cook also receiving snaps.
Fields was hurt when a teammate stepped on his foot while he threw an incomplete pass to Jeremy Ruckert on his fifth play of team drills. The quarterback sat on the grass for a few moments before getting up and limping badly to the sideline while helped by a trainer. He then sat in the passenger seat of a cart that took him from the field to the facility, where he got up and walked under his own power.

3 Forgotten Bruins Goalies From The 2010s

The Boston Bruins were blessed with two superstar goalies during the 2010s in Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask. They were major reasons for the Bruins' immense success during the decade, as they gave them some of the best goaltending in the entire league. While Thomas and Rask will certainly be the Bruins' goalies remembered most from the 2010s, the Original Six club had other intriguing backup goalies from this decade who made an impact, even if their time with the team was short-lived. Because of this, let's go over three forgotten Bruins goalies from the 2010s and look at how they performed during their time with the Black and Gold. The Bruins memorably put together a fantastic 2013-14 regular-season, as they finished the year with a 54-19-9 record and won the Presidents' Trophy for having a league-leading 117 points. Rask's fantastic play was a major reason for the Bruins having such a good regular-season that year, as he recorded a 36-15-6 record, a .930 save percentage, a 2.04 goals-against average, and seven shutouts. However, Bruins backup Chad Johnson also helped the Bruins out tremendously that campaign. In his lone season as the Bruins' backup, Johnson recorded a 17-4-3 record, a .925 save percentage, and a 2.10 goals-against average in 27 appearances. It was an excellent breakout season for the then 27-year-old, and the Bruins truly could not have expected anything more from him in the backup role. Johnson's time with the Bruins ended during the 2014 NHL off-season, as he signed a two-year, $2.6 million contract with the New York Islanders in free agency. From there, he became quite the journeyman, as he had stops with the Buffalo Sabres, Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, and Anaheim Ducks before playing his final NHL season in 2018-19. He also played for the New York Rangers and Phoenix Coyotes before joining the Bruins. In 192 career games over nine NHL seasons, Johnson had an 80-72-15 record, a .907 save percentage, and a 2.73 goals-against average. Overall, the Saskatoon native had nice career as a backup, but he had his best season as a member of the Bruins. Niklas Svedberg was another intriguing Bruins goalie from the 2010s. The 35-year-old joined the Bruins organization during the 2012 NHL off-season on an entry-level contract after winning the Le Mat Trophy with Sweden's Brynas IF during the season before. With this move, the Bruins brought in a new, fascinating goalie prospect to their system. Following joining the Bruins, he spent the 2012-13 season down in the AHL with the Providence Bruins. He left a fantastic first impression, posting a 37-8-2 record, a .925 save percentage, and a 2.17 goals-against average in 48 games during the 2012-13 season with Providence. He then had a 25-15-4 record, a .910 save percentage, and a 2.63 goals-against average in 45 appearances with Providence during the 2013-14 campaign. He also made his first NHL appearance with Boston that season, stopping 33 out of 35 shots in a win. Svedberg then spent most of the 2014-15 season on Boston's roster, where he proved to be a solid backup for Rask. In 18 appearances with the Original Six club that season, he posted a 7-5-1 record, a .918 save percentage, a 2.33 goals-against average, and two shutouts. Overall, he certainly worked well as the Bruins' backup, but this would surprisingly be his last season as a Bruin and in the NHL. During the 2015 NHL off-season, Svedberg signed with Salavat Yulaev UFA of the KHL and spent two seasons with the KHL club. From there, he returned to North America and spent the 2017-18 season in the AHL with the Iowa. After this campaign, the former Bruins netminder went back to the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) and later had stints in Germany and Austria. With Svedberg leaving for the KHL following the 2014-15 campaign, the Bruins needed to find a new backup goalie. Due to this, they signed goaltender Jonas Gustavsson to a professional tryout (PTO) ahead of training camp, and he successfully earned a one-year contract with Boston for the season following this. In 24 games with the Bruins during the 2015-16 season, Gustavsson recorded an 11-9-1 record, a 2.72 goals-against average, a .908 save percentage, and one shutout. Overall, the 6-foot-4 goaltender was a fine backup for the Bruins during the 2015-16 season. Gustavsson's time with the Bruins ended during the 2016 NHL off-season, as he signed a one-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers. In seven games with the Oilers that campaign, he had a 1-3-1 record, an .878 save percentage, and a 3.10 goals-against average. He spent the majority of the season down in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors, however, recording an 8-9-0 record, a .917 save percentage, and a 2.42 goals-against average in 20 appearances. 4 Former Bruins Who Boston Misses Big Time The Boston Bruins have gone through a plethora of roster changes since their historic 65-win season during the 2022-23 campaign. Several former core players have found new homes, whether through trades or free agency, and it is a significant reason why the Bruins took such a notable step in the wrong direction this past season.

Jordan Hick retirement leaves Browns defense short-handed

Three days into camp, the Cleveland Browns are dealing another massive blow at linebacker as Jordan Hicks announces his retirement from the NFL after 10 seasons. Hicks was brought to Cleveland as a free agent in 2024 and played in 12 games, totaling 78 tackles and 2 sacks. Hicks hit his prime in Arizona during the 2019 season, where he had his best statistical season, but he wasn't on the radar of many to retire this close to the start of the season. With Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah already ruled out for the yea,r that leaves the Browns with Jerome Baker, Mohamoud Diabte, Devin Bush, and the rookie Carson Schwesinger to take the bulk of the snaps in 2025. The Browns quickly filled the spot by signing WR Winston Wright out of East Carolina, but look for Andrew Berry to bring in a veteran who can give you 20 to 30 meaningful snaps next season.

England's captain Leah Williamson says Lionesses are 'connected to what it means for nation' ahead of Women's Euros final

Leah Williamson has said England are "aware" and "connected" to what it would mean for the nation if they were to beat Spain in Sunday's Women's Euro final. The Lionesses have led a charmed life in the knockout stages of the tournament they won at Wembley four years ago. England captain Williamson was asked by Sky News' what it would mean to have the chance to lift a trophy again and if she could grasp what it would mean for the nation. "I think we are connected to what it means to the nation, as connected as we can be being away from home," she said. "The opportunity of tomorrow and what's on offer is the best thing in football. "We came to the tournament and wanted to be in it until the end, and have a chance to fight for that trophy. "I think we don't necessarily carry the weight of it [the expectations] and how much it means to people, but we are aware of it because it means the same to us. "We recognise the opportunity and will do everything we can to take it." England needed two late goals to stay in the quarter-final against Sweden before winning in a penalty shootout. They looked to be out in the semi-final against Italy before Michelle Agyemang equalised deep in added time, and Chloe Kelly scored a 119th-minute winner with another shootout imminent. Sunday's task in Basel is a chance for revenge as they face the Spain team that beat them 1-0 in the World Cup final in Sydney in 2023.
