Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson did not tear ACL in right knee, as originally feared
Houston Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was feared to have torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. However, subsequent reports followed up to say that Gardner-Johnson did not tear his ACL and will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] According to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson, Gardner-Johnson was defending wide receiver John Metchie III during a scrimmage in West Virginia when the injury occurred. As he went to make a tackle, he went to the ground and clutched his leg. Texans players took a knee near Gardner-Johnson as silence took over the field. The NFL's interceptions leader in 2022 was unable to put weight on his leg as he was helped onto a cart to be taken to be evaluated. "It's heartbreaking when you see a guy go down on a field like that and doesn't get up quickly" Texans head coach Demeco Ryans said afterward. "I'm always nervous as a head coach anytime I see anybody hit the ground, it's tough to watch." Gardner-Johnson, 27, spent last season with the Philadelphia Eagles where he helped them win Super Bowl LIX. He had 59 tackles and six interceptions in 2024 and has picked off 13 passes over the past three seasons. After one season back with the Eagles, Gardner-Johnson was dealt in March to Houston in a trade that sent guard Kenyon Green to Philadelphia. The Texans had plans for him to replace Eric Murray in their secondary after Murray signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Gardner-Johnson began his NFL career with three seasons with the New Orleans Saints. He joined the Eagles 2022 before moving on to the Detroit Lions in 2023. After only three games with the Lions, he suffered a torn pectoral and missed the rest of the season. That offseason, he signed a three-year deal to return to Philadelphia.

23 Days Until 2025 Purdue Football: Jaheim Merriweather & Trey Smith
We are just over 3 weeks away from the kickoff of the 2025 Purdue football season. Today we've got two players on the countdown. So let's get started! #23 – Jaheim Merriweather Running Back 6'2', 215 lbs Sophomore Jackson, Tennessee 2025 Outlook: Running back rotation Merriweather is one of the few returning players from last year's team. He appeared in 11 games as a freshman. He only carried the ball 15 times for 77 yards, but just to see the field at the running back position as a freshman is a great accomplishment. The hope with this position is obviously that Devin Mockobee will hold down the starting role and hopefully reach 1,000 yards this season. However, even the best of running backs needs breaks. Merriweather could be one of the players to step up into a backup rotation role at the RB position. Opportunities will be available at nearly all positions this season and RB is no different. #23 – Trey Smith Defensive End 6'4', 255 lbs Sophomore (redshirt) Apopka, Florida Previous School: Illinois 2025 Outlook: Defensive end depth Smith comes to Purdue after playing at Illinois last season. He'd been at Illinois for two seasons appearing in 11 games over those two seasons. No huge stats to speak of during that time with only two tackles including one tackle for loss on the season. Now he will look to make an impact on a different Big Ten team just down the road. Smith certainly has some good measurables, now it's a matter of putting it together on the field with a new playbook.

Steelers All-Pro kicker Chris Boswell wants new deal
This article originally appeared on In addition to defensive tackle Cam Heyward, Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro kicker Chris Boswell is also seeking a new deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Boswell is currently the NFL's eighth-highest paid kicker. He's currently signed through 2026 with a $5 million average annual value. Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs is the league's highest-paid kicker with a contract value of $25.6 million/$6.4 AAV. 'Chris Boswell privately has been seeking a new contract from the Steelers,' Schefter wrote on X. 'Despite being voted first team All-Pro, Boswell was the AFC North's lowest-paid kicker last season. Three years ago Boswell signed a contract that tied him with Justin Tucker as the NFL's highest-paid kicker; but that market also has been reset the past two years.' Boswell, who was 41 of 44 on field goal attempts in 2024, nearlybroke an NFL single-season record. The record is 44 field goals, set by San Francisco 49ers kicker David Akers in 2011.
