A year after camp knee injury, former starter Derion Kendrick fights for a role with the Rams

Washington Post5 days ago
LOS ANGELES — A year after Derion Kendrick tore his knee ligament in the first practice of training camp, the Los Angeles Rams' former starting cornerback is fighting to reclaim a prominent role on a defense that was forced to move on without him.
Kendrick didn't grind through a year of rehab to give up now — not even after the Rams waived him last month and brought him back at a lower salary. He could have gone elsewhere, but Kendrick says he was determined to continue what he started in Los Angeles.

Teddy Bridgewater won't coach HS alma mater, reportedly planning another NFL comeback

Teddy Bridgewater will not coach high school football this coming season. Instead, the veteran quarterback is eyeing an NFL return, according to The Portal 305 and The Palm Beach Post. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Bridgewater, 32, led the Miami Northwestern Bulls to the Florida Class 3A state championship last season and then unretired to join the Detroit Lions. He served as Jared Goff's backup and did not appear in a regular-season game. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Bridgewater is expected to visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday and sign there. Last month, Bridgewater was suspended from Miami Northwestern after providing impermissible benefits to his players. The suspension stemmed from a post Bridgewater put on Facebook on July 7 where he revealed he covered Uber rides, meals and recovery services for his players last season. He asked fans to donate and cover those expenses this year so they wouldn't have to come directly from his pocket. That drew the attention of the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). An official with the FHSAA, Kelvin Richardson, told Rivals those allegations were sent to Miami Northwestern and that the FHSAA are working to gain more information. Despite the ban, Bridgewater said he was not going anywhere and would "volunteer from the bleachers" like he'd done in the past. Bridgewater played nine NFL seasons with six teams before retiring after 2023 season, which he spent with the Lions. He threw for 15,120 yards and 75 touchdowns in 79 career games after being a first-round pick out of Louisville in 2014.

Fox Sees Q4 Profit Rise on Fox News, Tubi Results

Fox Corp. said high ratings at Fox News Channel and growing advertiser interest at its Tubi streaming service bolstered performance in its fiscal fourth quarter, with the company's focus on live programming, sports and news shielding it from some of the challenges its rivals are facing in an era when more consumers are using on-demand broadband for more of their video entertaiment. The owner of the Fox broadcast network and Fox Sports said revenue in the period rose 6%, or $195 million, to $3.29 billion, largely on the strength of advertiser interest in Tubi and Fox News. Ad revenues rose 7% during the period, Fox said, while affiliate revenue rose 3%. More from Variety Fox Corp. Races to Collect Creators Before Rivals Can Do the Same Nintendo's Switch 2 Sales Near 6 Million Apple Services Revenue Grows 13% to New Record, Earnings Massively Beat Street Amid Trump Tariff Uncertainty 'We remain confident that our focused strategy, leadership position in key verticals and strong balance sheet will continue to deliver value to all shareholders,' Lachlan Murdoch, Fox's CEO, said in a statement. Fox said its fourth quarter net income came to $717 million, or $1.57 per share, compared with $319 million, or $.68 per share, in the year-earlier period. Excluding items, Fox reported adjusted earnings of $581 million, or $1.27 per share. While Disney, NBCUniversal and others have put many of their resources toward building out new streaming venues, Fox has maintained a hold in the linear world, still focused on drawing large, simultaneous audiences to everything from IndyCar racing to Greg Gutfeld's 10 p.m. program on Fox News Channel each weekday night. To be sure, Fox has launched streaming outlets, including Tubi and Fox Nation, but they are largely seen as complementary to the company's linear outlets — not a substitute for them. Those dynamics may be set to change. Fox intends to unveil a new streaming outlet, Fox One, in the next few weeks. The service will make its linear sports and news offerings — as well as other content — available via streaming, though Murdoch has said the company's intent is to court audiences who do not already have subscriptions to cable or satellite services and otherwise might not watch Fox programming. Revenue from Fox's cable networks rose 7%, or $94 million,. to $1.53 billion, owing to a $20 million hike in affiliate fees and a $50 million increase in advertising. Fox said it also saw $24 million in revenue from other sources, including Fox Nation subscriptions. Revenue from traditional TV operations rose 6%, or $92 million, to $1.71 billion. Fox said ad revenue rose $21 million, citing 'continued digital growth' at Tubi. Affiliate fees rose $29 million during the period.
