Bears-Bills joint practice observations: Defense gets after Josh Allen
While the Bears flat-out dominated the Miami Dolphins in last week's joint practice, it was more balanced against the Super Bowl contending Bills. But that's not to say this Dennis Allen defense didn't bring the heat, as the defense got after quarterback Josh Allen, including intercepting him three times. Meanwhile, quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense got off to an impressive start and faced some adversity during red zone and two-minute drill. But it was an overall successful practice, where Rome Odunze and Olamide Zaccheaus shined. Although, there's huge concerns about the Bears' left tackle battle and pre-snap penalties.
As far as injuries go, rookie defensive tackle Shemar Turner returned to practice for the first time since the start of camp. But he didn't participate in team drills as he ramps back up to action. Meanwhile, quarterback Case Keenum is day-to-day with a leg injury. There was an injury scare where tight end Cole Kmet came up limping during a red-zone drill, but he returned to the field.
Here are some observations, from media members and fans in attendance, following Friday's joint training camp practice:

Bears defense brought it vs. Josh Allen
Stock up: Caleb Williams-Rome Odunze connection
Olamide Zaccheaus continues to make plays
Pre-snap penalties continue to be a problem for offense
Luther Burden has been standing out

Jaxson Dart impressing in the preseason has not changed the Giants' plan at quarterback
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — One play into the New York Giants' fourth possession of their second preseason game, Brian Daboll called in Jaxson Dart without warning. 'Serious?' Dart asked, before making a throw that turned into a 30-yard gain and jogging back to the sideline, with Russell Wilson returning. It was all about putting the rookie quarterback in a situation he could face sooner or later in the NFL. 'You don't know what's going to happen,' Daboll said. 'Just be ready to go when your number's called.' Dart passed that test and has made a strong first impression as a pro since the Giants traded back into the first round to draft him as their potential QB of the future. Completing 13 consecutive passes and 14 of 16 total on Saturday night against the Jets should give the organization and its fans plenty of optimism about what is to come, but it has not changed the plan for Wilson to start and Dart to wait in the wings. 'Russ is our starter, and we're going to keep developing Jaxson,' Daboll said. 'We have a plan. ... We just have to keep working with him and understand there's going to be a lot of downs. I know there's some ups right now, but there's going to be a lot of downs and we just got to keep growing and communicating, just keep getting better.' Daboll, who is going into his fourth season coaching the Giants after getting the gig in part because of his work in Buffalo to develop Josh Allen on the path to becoming league MVP, insists there's a roadmap being followed. He is not exactly forthright about what it looks like. In exhibition game No. 2, it included not just one snap but an entire drive for Dart with the first-team offense. Why? 'Because that was part of the plan,' Daboll deadpanned. Whatever the plan is, and whenever Dart gets his first NFL start, the 22-year-old Mississippi product seems to be on board. 'They've done it with so many other quarterbacks. I trust them in the process,' Dart said. 'I have great guys around me, great coaches who have won and done it at the highest level, so I just look forward to learning each and every day.' Wilson echoed the other side, saying he's willing to keep teaching Dart what he has stockpiled from playing more than a decade in the league, including winning the Super Bowl at what is now their home stadium in the Meadowlands. 'I'm never shy about giving information and talking about it,' Wilson, now 36, said after his own impressive preseason game that included an 80-yard pass play to undrafted free agent Beaux Collins. 'I think (Dart has) done a tremendous job. He definitely has worked at it every day. He works at it every day, and he asks the right questions. That's what I enjoy about him.' Daboll appears to enjoy working with Dart, clearly along with general manager Joe Schoen and college scouts seeing enough that they liked to give up assets to use the 25th pick on the 6-foot-2 righty signal-caller. His stance continues to be that the Giants are trying to 'help Jaxson be the best quarterback he can be,' without many details on what that entails. Part of it is tempering expectations. Barring injury, Wilson will lead New York's offense onto the field for the season opener Sept. 7 at Washington and keep that role for some time. The Giants are trying to exercise patience with Dart and play the long game. 'We spent a lot of time with him, have a lot of confidence in the young man,' Daboll said. 'He's done a good job for us since he's been here in every area you could do — off the field, on the field, leadership, moxie, intelligence — but it's early. We've played a couple preseason games against probably some vanilla looks but he's making strides every day and that's all you can ask of any other young player.'

Travis Kelce Opens Up About Taylor Swift Romance: 'It Just Took the F*** Off'
Travis Kelce says all those entertainment industry opportunities might have hurt him on the field. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end says in a new interview that Hollywood calling in the wake of his popularity explosion over the last couple years came at a price after his team came up short at the Super Bowl LIX in February. More from The Hollywood Reporter Taylor Swift Reveals New Album 'The Life of a Showgirl' in Teaser for Travis Kelce's Podcast Taylor Swift Confirmed to Make Guest Appearance on Travis Kelce's 'New Heights' Podcast How to Watch the 2025 U.S. Gymnastics Championships Online Free 'Win a Super Bowl is the only goal,' Kelce told GQ. 'It's the only goal. It's every goal. I think it might have slipped a little bit because I did have a little bit more focus in trying to set myself up. And opportunities came up where I was excited to venture into a new world of acting and being an entertainer. I don't say this as 'I shouldn't have done it.' I'm just saying that my work ethic is such that I have so much pride in how I do things that I never want the product to tail off, and I feel like these past two years haven't been to my standard. I just have such a motivation to show up this year for my guys.' Kelce might be a tad hard on himself here. The man has gone to the Super Bowl five times and won three — including in 2024. On the other hand, only he knows if he truly gave the last couple seasons his all. Over the last two years, Kelce took a gig as a game show host for Prime Video's Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, took a dramatic turn in the Ryan Murphy FX thriller Grotesquerie and had a role in the current Netflix hit Happy Gilmore 2, among other gigs. In the interview, Kelce also discussed his relationship with Taylor Swift on the eve of a highly anticipated New Heights podcast episode (which drops Wednesday at 7 p.m.) where Swift is set to discuss her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. As for his relationship with Swift, the NFL star said he admires the athleticism she displayed on her Eras Tour, saying her effort surpasses what NFL players go through. 'She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete,' he said. 'But I've seen what she goes through. I've seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it's mind-blowing … [Swift's performance] is arguably more exhausting than how much I put in on a Sunday, and she's doing it three, four, five days in a row.' Also, that he values having a partner who 'who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions.' Added Kelce: 'Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people. When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that it's as normal of … It happened very organically even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically … we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the fuck off.'
