NFL rookie is deemed TOO FAT to play and forced to watch from the sideline until he loses weight
NFL rookie Desmond Watson has been brutally informed that he must lose weight before he gets a chance out on the field for Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers signed Watson as an undrafted rookie and, in doing so, he became the heaviest player in NFL history - weighing in at 464 pounds. Watson has reportedly been on a mission to bring that number down but, according to General Manager Jason Licht, the defensive lineman still has a way to go. Licht said: 'We have some milestones we want him to hit before we get him out there. He's doing a solid job getting there. That's all I'll say.' Watson has since been placed on the non-football illness list and, now, footage of the 22-year-old watching on from the sidelines has since gone viral. The Buccaneers rookie trudged out of the tunnel onto the field, where his teammates were running some practice drills. HEARTBREAKING: #Bucs 430+ pound defensive tackle Desmond Watson was not allowed to play last night because he weighs too much. 😞 Watson was forced to sit on the sidelines all night long and will not be able to play until he loses more weight. — MLFootball (@_MLFootball) August 10, 2025 Watson, however, remained on the sidelines and appeared in good spirits when in conversation with a few of his coaches. Last month, Bucs head coach Todd Bowles confirmed that Watson's absence from training camp was related to his weight. 'It's just about trying to get him better, to be a healthier player and get him on the field more,' Bowles said. 'That's where I'm at right now. He's working at it and we're working with him and that's all you can ask.' 'We have some things in mind with him, where we want to see him at,' Bowles said. 'He's made some progress. . . . I don't have a timetable on what we can get him down to or when that comes.' As it stands, Watson remains a long shot to earn a spot on the 53-player roster for the regular season.

Yu Darvish, Padres renew acquaintances with Giants in big series
August 11 - A postseason-type pitching matchup will get the ball rolling on a three-game series with potential playoff ramifications when Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres take on Logan Webb and the host San Francisco Giants on Monday. The Padres (66-52) will enter the series seven games up on the Giants (59-59) in their duel for second place in the National League West. San Diego heads into the final 44 games of the season in the second NL wild-card spot. The Giants are four games behind the New York Mets, who currently reside in the third and final postseason position. The Padres and Giants have seven games remaining, all in the next 11 days. The clubs will meet in San Diego next Monday through Thursday. In his past two starts, Darvish (1-3, 6.51 ERA) allowed a total of three runs and five hits over 11 innings in San Diego wins over the Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks. The five-time All-Star right-hander seems to have found a rhythm after a late start to the season due to elbow inflammation. He was shredded for 17 runs in 16 2/3 innings in four starts before turning things around of late. Just the sight of Darvish on the mound has been uplifting, Padres manager Mike Shildt told reporters last week. "You got a guy with (204) career professional wins that is out there with that experience (and) there's leadership that takes place on the field, too," Shildt said. "So it's very comforting to see him back." Darvish was on the injured list when the Padres swept a two-game home series against the Giants in April. The teams since split a four-game series in San Francisco in June. He has not fared well against the Giants in his career, going 2-3 with a 5.89 ERA in 12 starts. Webb (10-8, 3.24) pitched in both previous series against the Padres, suffering the loss in a 7-4 defeat at San Diego on April 29 before getting a no-decision following eight shutout innings in a 1-0, 10-inning setback in San Francisco on June 2. The two-time All-Star right-hander has gone 4-4 with a 2.98 in 16 games, including 15 starts, in his career against San Diego. Webb will be tasked with lifting the Giants from one of their lowest points of the season, an 8-0 drubbing at the hands of the Washington Nationals on Sunday. With his team having lost 4-2 to the National League East's last-place club on Saturday, Giants manager Bob Melvin admitted afterward he expected a spirited effort before a big crowd with a chance to win a series and roll into the San Diego showdown. "That was the most disappointing game we've had all year," Melvin said. "We should have played better than that. "It's about winning another series here and taking some momentum into the series against the Padres. I thought we were going to play a good game (Sunday). I really did. And, unfortunately, we did not." --Field Level Media
