De Rossi is currently still under contract with Roma but the idea of returning to the bench could lead him to want to experience a new adventure.

Chelsea agree €29.5 million deal to sell Renato Veiga to Villarreal
Chelsea have agreed a deal to sell versatile defender Renato Veiga to Villarreal for €29.5 million, per Fabrizio Romano. The 22-year-old is on his way out of Stamford Bridge after only a year. The Blues included add-ons and secured a heavy sell-on clause in the Veiga deal. His move is a record transfer for the Yellow Submarines. Veiga arrived at Chelsea last summer and proved instrumental for the West London outfit, comfortably slotting into midfield and at left-back. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca clearly showed trust in Veiga, especially in the cup competitions. However, he surprisingly decided to leave mid-way through the season, claiming he wanted a starting berth as a centre-back. He went on loan to Juventus, where he played in his favoured position. Juve boss Thiago Motta was a fan, lauding his ability to 'find free men between the lines'. Some Chelsea fans hoped that the Blues would reintegrate him into the squad, especially with Levi Colwill out with a long-term injury. Benoit Badiashile is also dealing with niggling issues. There is no way back in for Veiga, who will now complete a move to Villarreal. It will be interesting to see if his departure opens the door for Chelsea to sign another centre-back. Maresca wants a new defender, but the hierarchy maintains that he has enough, with Josh Acheampong emerging and Mamadou Sarr set to return next summer. News from trusted journalists is that Chelsea will only sign a new centre-back if they can shift some, like Veiga and Axel Disasi, off the books. Who should Chelsea sign if they enter the market for a centre-back? If Chelsea need a defender who can command his box and punch passes through the lines, they should consider approaching Inter Milan for Alessandro Bastoni. Bastoni's ability on the ball will be a massive weapon in the build-up phase. Colwill was an excellent ball progressor, and the Italian can fill the gap seamlessly. However, it is worth noting that Bastoni won't come cheap, and Chelsea must also consider what happens when Colwill returns from his setback.

Falcons starting right tackle Kaleb McGary carted off practice field with possible left leg injury
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary was carted off the practice field with a possible lower left leg injury on Wednesday, giving the team a new challenge as it prepares for Friday night's final preseason game at Dallas. The Falcons provided no immediate update on the status of McGary, a 2019 first-round pick who has started 92 of 93 games. If the Falcons are without McGary, they will have to find a new blocker to protect the blind side of left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr. , the 2024 first-round pick who is entering his first full season as the starter. McGary recently signed a contract extension through the 2027 season. The Falcons' latest depth chart listed six-year veteran Brandon Parker and rookie Jack Nelson as McGary's top backups. Veteran Elijah Wilkinson, who has played both tackle and guard in his eight-year career, moved in to replace McGary in Wednesday's practice. Another backup, Storm Norton, has an undisclosed lower body injury and is not expected to play against Dallas. McGary's injury came less than an hour after coach Raheem Morris announced plans to hold out most starters against the Cowboys. Morris said Penix and veteran backup Kirk Cousins will not play, meaning neither will have taken a snap in a preseason game, though both saw extended work in last week's joint practices with the Tennessee Titans. Morris also said the team's two rookie first-round picks, edge rushers James Pearce Jr. and Jalon Walker, also will be held out. Morris on Wednesday expressed confidence in the team's offensive line depth. 'I've been really pleased with the depth of the offensive line since I've been here,' said Morris, entering his second season as coach. Morris said he was confident in the depth extending past the top backups. ___ AP NFL:
