Dallas Cowboys Suffer 'Brutal' Training Camp Injury
A key player for the Dallas Cowboys is going to be sidelined for most if not all of training camp after an injury today.
According to reports, Dallas Cowboys starting offensive tackle Tyler Guyton is set to miss the next four to six weeks of action after suffering a "bone fracture" in practice. There were initial fears that it was a season-ending ACL tear, but the MRI came back with a more acceptable diagnosis.
"Tyler Guyton's ACL is intact after a MRI, according to a source. He has a bone fracture and will not require surgery. Looking at a 4-6 week recovery. Cowboys get better than expected news," ESPN's Todd Archer reported.
Guyton started 11 of 15 games played for the Cowboys as a rookie in 2024. He played over 600 snaps after going 29th overall to the team in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Cowboys hope to pair Guyton with a fellow first-round offensive lineman, former Alabama guard Tyler Booker.
This past week the Cowboys also saw veteran wide receiver Parris Campbell suffer a leg injury. Though much like Guyton, the diagnosis for Campbell was better than it could have been. He reportedly has an MCL sprain.
"Update on some injuries: Cowboys WR Parris Campbell has a MCL sprain in his knee, according to a person with knowledge of the injury," Cowboys insider Calvin Watkins reported today.
The Dallas Cowboys have certainly gotten off a bit easy with some of the injury reports that have come in early in the NFL training camp period.
Hopefully it stays that way and the team can avoid any catastrophic injuries over the next few weeks (and months).Dallas Cowboys Suffer 'Brutal' Training Camp Injury first appeared on The Spun on Jul 29, 2025

Lakers and Luka Doncic agree to three-year, $165-million contract extension
Luka Doncic has provided the Lakers and their fans with good news for the future by signing a contract extension with the team on Saturday. Doncic signed a three-year, $165-million deal with a player option in 2028 on Saturday morning, his agent, Bill Duffy, confirmed to The Times. Signing that contract allows Doncic to eventually sign a maximum deal in 2028 that would give him 35% of the salary camp for five seasons, which would pay him about $369 million because of his 10 years of NBA experience. Doncic, who will earn $45.9 million this season, will hold a news conference with his representatives later Saturday at the Lakers' practice facility in El Segundo. 'I just signed my extension with the Lakers,' Doncic said in a release after he signed. 'Excited to keep working to bring championships to LA and make Laker Nation proud. Grateful to the Lakers, my teammates and all the fans who've shown so much love since day one. This is just the beginning.' At the end of the statement, Doncic posted two hearts in purple and gold, which are the Lakers' colors. Doncic signing his deal with the Lakers couldn't have come at a better time. Doncic was in Los Angeles on Saturday for his Jordan Brand event, which he also held earlier this week in New York and Chicago. Read more: Luka Doncic takes a jab at Mavericks while showing off his revenge body 'Today is a monumental moment for our franchise. Luka Doncic's future is with the Los Angeles Lakers,' Lakers president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka said in a statement. 'Luke is one of the game's most transcendent players, and his on-court dominance and passion is without comparison.' During his short time with the Lakers, Doncic has linked up with LeBron James to make them a worthy team that posted a 50-32 record last season and gave them the third seed in the rugged Western Conference. In 28 games with the Lakers after the shocking and blockbuster trade that saw Los Angeles get Doncic from Dallas in exchange for Anthony Davis on Feb. 4, he averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 35.1 minutes per game. Doncic shot 43.8% from the field and 37.9% from three-point range. In five playoff games, a first-round series the Lakers lost 4-1 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Doncic averaged 30.2 points per game, 7.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists. He shot 45.2% from the field and 34.8% from three-point range. At 26, Doncic is the superstar that the Lakers always seem to have on their roster as the face of the future. While playing for the Mavericks, there were reports that said Doncic was heavily criticized because of poor conditioning and diet issues. This summer, Doncic has worked to change that narrative. In photos that accompanied in a 'Men's Heath' magazine feature, Doncic appears to be a changed man. He is toned and slimmed down in the photos from the magazine. 'Just visually, I would say my whole body looks better,' Doncic said in the story that was published Monday. Doncic was quoted in the article as having been at home in Croatia when his workouts began, and in subsequent interviews said he did not play basketball for a month. It was a variety of things that got Doncic looking so much more defined than in past years, from weightlifting, sprints and a change of his eating habits in committing to a better diet. Doncic talked in the story about how he wants to maintain his dedication to his body throughout the season. 'This year, with my [training] team, I think we did a huge step,' Doncic said in the article. 'But this is just the start, you know. I need to keep going. Can't stop … if I stop now, it was all for nothing.' Doncic will once again play for the Slovenian national basketball team this month in the EuroBasketball 2025. His Slovenian team will face Poland on August 28, which will give Doncic a chance to show off his body and conditioning in a basketball game setting. Doncic also played a role in the Lakers getting two much-needed free agents this summer by helping recruit the players. Doncic reached out to center Deandre Ayton, who signed with the Lakers for two years and $16.2 million, giving the 6-6 guard and Los Angeles the big man they absolutely had to have for this upcoming season. Doncic also called guard Marcus Smart, who signed a two-year contract worth $11 million, giving the Lakers a much-needed wing defender after they lost Dorian Finney-Smith in free agency. Smart said Doncic called him twice to sell him on playing for the Lakers. Sign up for our weekly newsletter on all things Lakers. This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

Aaron Glenn gets emotional as the reality of being the Jets' head coach 'hit me pretty hard'
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The reality of the situation finally hit Aaron Glenn. More than seven months after being hired by the New York Jets, the first-time NFL head coach got surprisingly emotional Saturday. And it had nothing to do with the 12 penalties called on his team during practice. 'I'm sure this is going to hit at some point, but I told the players this: The first time since I became head coach, today was the first day it really hit me,' Glenn said to open his post-practice news conference. "And it hit me once I heard the fans give the 'J-E-T-S' chant. 'And I don't know why, but it just hit me.' The 53-year-old Glenn was drafted by the Jets in the first round in 1994 and played for the franchise for eight of his 15 NFL seasons. The three-time Pro Bowl cornerback was also a personnel scout for New York for two seasons and a longtime assistant coach, most recently as Detroit's defensive coordinator for four seasons, before getting the chance to lead his former team. 'It hit me pretty hard,' Glenn said, his voice cracking slightly. "Man, I am so thankful. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me a shot. I'm thankful for this organization that gave me my second shot at becoming a coach. 'I don't know why, fellas. But it hit me and hit me pretty hard, and, man, I just feel grateful. Grateful to be in this position.' Glenn, along with new general manager Darren Mougey, faces the task of turning around the fortunes of a franchise that has the NFL's longest active playoff drought at 14 seasons. He has talked several times since being hired in January about changing the culture around the Jets and building them into a consistent winner by stressing fundamentals and competition. But with the team practicing in front of packed stands for its annual scrimmage at the facility, Glenn couldn't shake his emotions — especially when he heard the fans. 'Yeah, I was,' Glenn said when asked if he was surprised he felt that way. 'I thought it had already hit me.' One thing Glenn has focused on during training camp is cutting down on penalties after the Jets were called for the most in the league in each of the past two seasons. He has officials at every practice to try to get players to understand how plays will be called. But it didn't seem to help much Saturday. The Jets had 12 penalties called on them during what Glenn called a 'pseudo scrimmage,' including several holding calls. 'There are a lot of things we've got to clean up and the one thing I'm sure everybody saw is the penalties,' the coach said. 'I'm glad we had the refs out there because that's one thing we want to hit — we want to make sure we hit those hard. And I want them to ref it just like it was a game and I thought they did a good job of that.' It made for a sloppy practice as Justin Fields and the rest of offense, including the backups, struggled throughout the session. Some calls even had the fans booing. 'There's no excuses,' Glenn said. 'Our players understand that. We know penalties, they're discipline issues and we've got to make sure we are more disciplined in aspects on both sides of the ball. We will get those cleaned up, I promise you that. But there's a lot of work to do.' Injuries Cornerback ace Kris Boyd left the field on a cart after injuring a shoulder during special teams drills. He went down on the sideline and was writhing in pain while he was looked at by trainers. Glenn had no immediate word on his condition. Glenn said wide receiver Xavier Gipson also injured a shoulder on the final play of practice when he tried to catch a pass in the end zone. Safety Jaylin Simpson was sidelined with a hamstring injury. ___ AP NFL:

Garrett Nussmeier ahead of Arch Manning in early draft rankings
Even though LSU did not have the season most expected last year, quarterback Garrett Nussmeier still had a great season, throwing for over 4,000 yards and 29 touchdowns. Nuessmeier carried his team throughout the season, and the expectations in Baton Rouge are that he is expected to have another good season. So, it shouldn't be a shocker that, in early 2026 NFL Draft evaluations, he is ahead of Heisman favorite Arch Manning. According to the NFL experts at AtoZ Sports, they are in awe of Nussmeier and his arm. Which is why they think he will be the first SEC quarterback taken in next year's draft. 'You could make a case that last season there really wasn't a better quarterback in a clean pocket than Garrett Nussmeier. Now, granted, he had one of the best offensive lines in the entire country, but he still made some extremely impressive throws. I'm not sure that the offensive line will be as good now as it was in 2024, considering they lost a few guys to the 2025 NFL Draft, but it won't be bad. They do have an extremely impressive group of weapons around him thanks to the addition of transfer wide receivers Barion Brown and Nic Anderson. Nussmeier has pretty strong arm talent, and in Brian Kelly's offense, he will get to show that off plenty. I ultimately have him going as a first-round pick, possibly later on day one. Nussmeier doesn't really have the frame or size of a prototype NFL quarterback, but he should be great this season–perhaps the best QB in the country.' – Justin Churchill, A to Z Sports Nussmeier's stock can rise if he has a Joe Burrow-type season with the Tigers. If he can put up those types of numbers or even close to it, he may end up as the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft.
