Detroit Lions' Defensive Starter Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery
Injuries were a major factor in the Detroit Lions' season last year. While it's hard to take issue with how the regular season resulted in a 15-2 record and the first seed in the NFC Playoff hunt, it became clear that the Lions were too decimated on defense to stop a fast-paced Washington Commanders team led by superstar Offensive Rookie of the Year winner Jayden Daniels. With stars like Aidan Hutchinson sidelined for the playoffs, fans can't help but wonder how much further the Lions could have gotten. Unfortunately, the 2025-26 season is set to kick off with a similar tune as last season in Detroit. According to Lions head coach Dan Campbell, starting defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike had to have a 'significant' season-ending surgery involving an ACL tear. While he will be missed, Campbell admitted, 'It needed to be done.' Onwuzurike suited up for 16 games last season, where he made 10 starts. He was a key part of a Lions defense that allowed the seventh-fewest points per game last year. While Onwuzurike may be a big loss, the Lions did select defensive tackle Tyleik Williams in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and now he should see an even bigger role as a rookie than many anticipated.

🎥 Off to hospital with a 'Siuuu': bizarre injury in Brazil
Injuries during goal celebrations are rare, but they do happen from time to time. Especially when the celebration is perhaps a bit more theatrical and spectacular. However, with this particular celebration, no one has ever been injured—until now! In yesterday's game between Atlético Monte Azul and Grêmio Prudente (final score 1:1) in Brazil, it finally happened. Grêmio's striker Kesley scored the equalizer with a penalty in the 78th minute. But his personal joy was short-lived. The goal scorer had to be substituted immediately after his botched celebration due to injury. This is particularly unfortunate because he had only been substituted into the game a few minutes earlier. It seems that a skilled "Siuuu" requires a certain amount of skill after all.

Delayed plans to redevelop North Wales hospital branded a 'farce'
An outspoken Rhyl councillor has slammed the Welsh Government, describing plans to develop Rhyl's Alexandra Hospital as a 'farce' and 'political stick'. Last week a Denbighshire Council scrutiny committee spoke about a delayed meeting with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, which had been put back from September to October. Betsi chiefs attended a council meeting in February where Denbighshire councillors were told to expect a planning application for an extension to the hospital between March and August. But despite it already being mid-July, a planning application is yet to be submitted, leading to several Denbighshire councillors calling for Betsi to attend a now-postponed September meeting to 'face the music'. Originally planned as a project that would cost tens of millions, the new plans have been scaled back post pandemic, but the health board have said construction could start in the first quarter of 2026. Betsi is targeting Welsh Government funds, which are yet to be secured, with the new building planned as 'a third-sector hub' supporting patients, as well as having support services such as catering facilities, reception, and staff rest areas – with a café also to be part of the plans. S ign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox. The health board say the plans will also include a bedded unit and minor injuries and ailments unit. But after his comments at last week's scrutiny committee, Rhyl Conservative councillor Brian Jones is claiming the Welsh Government is using the hospital as a 'cheap vote-winning trick'. 'Whilst any commencement of work to the Royal Alex is to be welcomed, I have to say the project that is on the table is a very poor shadow of the original project,' he said. 'A lot of local people are ex-health board employees. The whole thing is a farce. This is being used as a political stick to try and hoodwink the electorate that they are going to be building an extension in Rhyl and mirrors what happened at the last Senedd elections, whereby Betsi Cadwaladr was taken out of special measures just before the elections. It then went back into special measures, and it is still in special measures now.' He added: 'If they turn up and come to the scrutiny meeting in October, the question will be raised: Is this a political move to try and push this new Rhyl development forward as what happened previous to the last elections? It appeared to be just a cheap vote-winning trick.' Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board's Central Integrated Health Community Director Gareth Evans responded to the criticism. 'We are in regular contact with Denbighshire County Council about the progress of the Royal Alexandra Hospital development,' he said. 'A contract has been awarded to design the new build element of the site, and a planning application will be submitted within the next month or so. We have repeatedly confirmed the new-build plans include a bedded unit and Minor Injuries and Ailments Unit (MIAU). 'The progression of the scheme is conditional on formal board approval, planning permission being granted, and Welsh Government approval of our full business case. "We expect all elements to have been submitted by the end of the calendar year and, if successful, would hope to start construction in early 2026. "Reparations and improvements to the existing Royal Alex site are planned to go ahead separately to the new build.' A spokesman for Welsh Government added: 'We are awaiting a revised full business case for the Royal Alexandra Hospital to be submitted to us by the health board later this year. The scheme, if approved, would receive funding from the NHS All-Wales Capital Programme and Integration & Rebalancing Capital Fund (IRCF).'

'The picture is too cloudy for any Man Utd fan to feel confident'
Injuries have dented the confidence of Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez, who must compete for a place in a defence containing promising youngsters Leny Yoro and Ayden Onana's pre-season hamstring issue gives Amorim an opportunity to assess his goalkeeping options but, in truth, unless 21-year-old Radek Vitek steps up, the choice will be to stick or twist with the Cameroon international, given Altay Bayindir was given his chance at the end of last season and failed to is a similar story in pursuit of Liam Delap, who instead chose Chelsea, emphasises Amorim feels he can improve on Rasmus Gyokeres, who played for Amorim at Sporting, has also decided against a move to Watkins, who lost his place at Aston Villa when Marcus Rashford arrived from United on loan, has been linked with a move to Old Trafford. So too have out-of-contract pair Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jamie Vardy. They are all names to suggest United might be better off giving Hojlund one more can Amorim trust that the Dane is ready to fulfil the promise that prompted United to pay Atalanta £72m for him two years ago?Hojlund himself has been linked with his old boss Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma. But, as with so many players, turning vague interest into reality is not he spoke to fanzine United We Stand last month, chief executive Omar Berrada said the pain of last season's 15th-placed finish, the worst since the 1973-74 relegation campaign, was self-inflicted in the belief reward would follow."He [Amorim] has suffered in the Premier League, and the team has suffered," Berrarda said."But we saw it as an investment for the following seasons, because we were going to give time to Ruben to get to know the squad, the club and the Premier League, so by the time that we got to now, we'll have had all the discussions about what the squad needs and the two-to-three-year plan to get to a squad that's capable of winning the Premier League."There is still time before the opening Premier League game against Arsenal on 17 August for the clarity Amorim seemed so sure of when he spoke in Hong Kong to as of now, the picture is too cloudy for any United fan to feel confident about what lies Simon's transfer breakdown of Man UtdNot a Man Utd fan?

St. Johns County Fire Rescue: 3 people injured by lightning strike at St. Augustine Pier
Lightning struck the St. Augustine Pier, injuring at least three people, including one transported in critical condition, according to St. Johns County Fire Rescue. The agency said first responders treated and evacuated three patients Saturday afternoon. One was transported in critical condition to a local trauma center. Another person who had minor injuries was taken to a local hospital. And a third person refused transport, according to the St. Johns Fire Rescue post on Facebook. Both St. Johns and St. Augustine Fire Department personnel were at the scene and evacuating patients, according to the initial post at 3:07 p.m. They asked the public to avoid the pier while emergency operations were ongoing. They also urged people to go inside when they hear thunder. The St. Augustine strike comes two days after a pair of teenagers were killed by lightning in Waycross, Ga. The Waycross mayor said Joey Nelson and Randall Martin III were struck by lightning on July 10 during a summer storm, reported First Coast News, the Times-Union news partner. The mayor and Martin's family told First Coast News that he was on a fishing trip with his friend, Joey Nelson — a 2024 graduate of Ware County High — when the two were struck by lightning during a storm and died near their vehicle.
