Falcons' Bijan Robinson trains with Christian McCaffrey

Follow for exclusive access and insight from The Athletic's writers as NFL training camps kick off this week Getty Images Getty Images FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off the highest workload of his professional career – 304 carries and 61 catches – but his body feels as good as ever after a month of offseason work with Niners running back Christian McCaffrey, Robinson said. Robinson, McCaffrey and Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey spent much of their offseason break together in Studio City, Calif., and the most valuable thing Robinson took from the experience was McCaffrey's recovery regime, Robinson said. 'I am going to continue doing that because I felt super, super great this summer, and it was all because of how we came back and recovered our bodies,' he said. The program consisted of pool workouts, a red light therapy bed and a newly designed hyperbaric chamber called a Stratosphere. It was like 'we were 18,000 feet in the air, but we were in a machine,' Robinson said. 'It was like the coolest thing ever.' Nine running backs topped 300 carries between 2015 and 2023. Only one (Derrick Henry in 2019 and 2020) had more rushing yards the following season. In the other eight seasons, the backs had an average dropoff of 695 yards the next season. Robinson thinks he can buck that trend this year, thanks in part to his summer with McCaffrey. 'It was really cool. I got to see how he worked. He got to see how I worked and we got to put it together,' Robinson said. 'It was really cool, two guys coming together to just make each other better. He taught me a bunch of nuanced moves.' Getty Images You want to know how Brandon Coleman, now the Washington Commanders' starting right guard, is coming along with learning the pre-snap checks next to center Tyler Biadasz, right? No? Something else? Sorry. There was no word of a miracle, 11th-hour compromise between the Commanders and wide receiver Terry McLaurin Tuesday morning, at least by the time general manager Adam Peters and coach Dan Quinn held their pre-training camp news conference. There was just the cold chill of a gulf that apparently remains between the star receiver and the only team he's known since entering the league in 2019. And no sign, other than the cordial words Peters spoke of the soon-to-be 30-year-old, that this will be resolved soon, and certainly not when camp begins Wednesday. Peters said Tuesday that he expected McLaurin to report. But McLaurin was not present for either the full team meeting or the afternoon conditioning test. So it begins. GO FURTHER Terry McLaurin's contract situation with Commanders won't have an easy resolution Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa had strong comments about his relationship with WR Tyreek Hill today. The Bengals have been notoriously slow starters each season under Zac Taylor, so the head coach plans on playing his first-stringers more this preseason in hopes of being more prepared for Week 1. He discussed on Wednesday how QB Joe Burrow will be used in preseason games. (Getty Images) Some receivers have to play in the slot because they lack the physicality and athleticism to win on the outside. Some have to play on the outside because they aren't quick or precise enough for the routes a slot receiver has to run. Lamb has the size and vertical ability to win on go-routes on the outside, but he's so crafty that he can run the route tree from the inside as well. According to Matt Harmon's Reception Perception, in 2023 (he hasn't published charting from Lamb's 2024 season yet), Lamb's success rate on go-balls was 60 percent. Elite outside receivers typically score in the high 60s. When Lamb broke out with a 1,544-yard season in 2022, he started playing in the slot more than out wide, but he still plays outside almost half of his snaps. Lamb is typically tiered right below Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill as overall receivers, but none of those three play inside as much as Lamb does. That doesn't mean they can't do what Lamb does, but Lamb's usage is more varied and this list rewards versatility. According to Pro Football Focus, last season, Lamb played 50.3 percent of his snaps in the slot and 48.1 percent out wide. For the Cowboys, Lamb's ability to play inside and outside is vital because they depend on him to move the ball. Since 2022, the Cowboys have had an average running game and not many other weapons to throw to. They can't afford to use Lamb as a decoy; they have to find ways to get him the ball, and his versatility allows that. They even line him up in the backfield for tosses on occasion. GO FURTHER CeeDee Lamb, Kyle Hamilton, George Kittle among NFL's 10 most versatile players Colts CB Kenny Moore II just picked off QB Daniel Jones in 7-on-7. A few minutes later, Anthony Richardson was nearly picked off by CB Alex Johnson in 7-on-7. Interesting: Cooper DeJean is playing safety next to Reed Blankenship in base. Vic Fangio has said this was his plan to experiment with, but we did not see DeJean at safety in OTAs — only cornerback. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is taking the first team reps to start 11-on-11. Rookie CB Justin Walley starting opposite of Charvarius Ward. Kenny Moore II in the slot. Eagles right guard Kenyon Green begins training camp sidelined. He is dealing with a knee injury. It was a pretty ho-hum pre-training camp presser on Wednesday morning, which is surely how the New York Giants want it. The biggest news to come from GM Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll addressing the media is that the team is fully committed to Russell Wilson as the QB1. "These guys will be out here competing, but Russ is our starter," Daboll said. It doesn't seem like rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart has any chance to win the starting job in camp. Daboll and Schoen were non-committal on a timeline for when Dart could get on the field. Meanwhile, Schoen said the expectation is All-Pro LT Andrew Thomas (foot) will be ready for the opener, but he said nothing is ever 100 percent. Thomas will start camp on PUP. Starters: Edge Trey Hendrickson, DT TJ Slaton, DT BJ Hill, Edge Myles Murphy Backups: Joseph Ossai, Shemar Stewart (Texas A&M), Cam Sample, McKinnley Jackson, Kris Jenkins, Cedric Johnson Outside looking in: DT Taven Bryan, DT McTelvin Agim, Isaiah Thomas, Raymond Johnson III, Howard Cross III (Notre Dame), Eric Gregory (Arkansas) Analysis: The Bengals will be without Hendrickson (holdout), Hill (foot) and Stewart (contract) to start camp on Wednesday. That means a heavy load of reps for young players that need them, but the unknowns that have been the talking points of the last few months are hard to avoid here. There's so little proven production in this room and such a large bet placed on development, this will be fascinating to watch progress as August unfolds. What to monitor: Kris Jenkins. Hill's absence as the Bengals take their time working him back in — you won't see much of him in camp — means a full look at Jenkins as the starter. He needs to be better than last season. The lack of any real three-technique additions was a vote of confidence for Jenkins; he needs to make good on it in a hurry. GO FURTHER Bengals 53-man roster projection: Guard battles, D-line uncertainty as camp begins The Cleveland Browns have placed quarterback Deshaun Watson on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list for the start of training camp. The expected designation came Tuesday as the full squad reported for the start of camp. Watson suffered a second Achilles tear in January while rehabbing from the Achilles injury he suffered last October in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Though an exact timetable for medical clearance is unknown, the Browns have long known that Watson would not be ready for the start of camp or for the start of the 2025 season. Players on the active-PUP list count against the 90-man roster during training camp and can be activated any time, but Watson's expected rehab schedule extends beyond this summer. It's unknown if the Browns would activate Watson at any point during this season.

Our reporters at The Athletic are on site across the country to bring you all the latest updates, insight and analysis on all the latest news around the NFL from injuries to position battles to contract negotiations and comments from coaches and GMs. Stay tuned as we have you covered! Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said linebacker Nakobe Dean will begin training camp on the PUP list. Dean has been sidelined since tearing his patellar tendon in the playoffs and is expected to miss the early portion of the regular season. First-round pick Jihaad Campbell will practice fully to begin training camp, Nick Sirianni said. The rookie linebacker was limited in OTAs due to off-season labrum surgery. His return is notable. If he develops quickly, he could fill in for Dean.

Clint Eastwood's complicated love life, 'addictive' affairs exposed in new biography

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! Clint Eastwood is a man of many layers. In a new biography written by filmmaker Shawn Levy, "Clint: The Man and The Movies," the legendary actor's life behind the camera is examined through past quotes from Eastwood and various peers who shed insight into his extensive romantic past and "addictive" affairs he had while married to his first wife, Maggie Johnson, and other partners. "His affairs, he later admitted to Richard Schickel, 'just became … I don't know … addictive … like you have to have another cigarette,'" Levy wrote in the book, quoting Eastwood. CLINT EASTWOOD REFLECTS ON DECADES IN HOLLYWOOD AND HIS DRIVE TO KEEP WORKING AS HE TURNS 95 Eastwood married Johnson in 1953. Throughout their 21-year marriage, Eastwood had many affairs with various women and fathered multiple children. "There were many other women, some from the ranks of classmates, some encountered at the nightspots and jazz clubs that he frequented, some from among his neighbors at the apartment complex in Studio City, near Universal, to which he and Maggie had moved when he first went under contract to the studio," Levy wrote in the book. "The atmosphere of that small apartment building — which, naturally, was centered around a swimming pool — not only encouraged sexual adventures but facilitated them; several of Clint's friends from Oakland, Seattle, and Fort Ord moved into the place or similar places nearby, meaning that there were always apartments readily available for a quick tryst — and buddies willing to help him cover his tracks." According to Levy, Eastwood was always upfront about his behavior and allegedly had an "understanding" with Johnson. "It wasn't entirely evident, though, that he needed such help. As a friend put it, 'Clint goes where he wants, does what he wants — goes to dinner with a girl if he wants. Maggie doesn't say a thing. Clint is the undisputed boss.' He referred to himself half-jokingly as a 'married bachelor,' but there were significant hints that his wife knew the score and was okay with it," Levy wrote. CLINT EASTWOOD 'S DAUGHTER SAYS 'VERY STRICT' DAD HAD THIS PIECE OF ADVICE GROWING UP "'Maggie and I have an understanding,' he was quoted as saying. 'I'm independent, a vagabond, and she accepts me as I am and doesn't strangle me with female possessiveness.' Speaking more broadly, he declared, 'Maggie doesn't chain me. The worst thing is owning people. I don't want to be owned by anybody — maybe shared, but not lock, stock, and barrel. "Love is respecting privacy, accepting faults. But I don't believe it's a one-way street. The sophisticated woman accepts that chances are a guy's not being 100 percent faithful. If she talks about it, it only makes it worse.'" Eastwood allegedly said of his relationship with Johnson, "There's no ownership in this marriage. My soul is my own. Maggie knows this. Possession is the worst thing. I'm hard to live with. … I'm moody, and lots of the time I'd rather be alone. … It took Maggie a while, but she learned." Though Johnson was aware of the trysts, Levy wrote, it's unclear if she knew just how extensive the affairs were. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "Their private life was another matter, as Maggie admitted some years later when she told an interviewer, 'We're not advocates of the total togetherness theory.' It's not clear that she was aware of just how many liberties Clint took, or, for that matter, whether she availed herself of any. "But they stayed together through these lean years, despite living near enough to her family for her to make other choices, so she either didn't know or didn't care about his sexual entanglements — or she believed that they were his business and nobody else's, not even hers," Levy wrote. "It seemed to some who knew the couple that she thrived. 'She's got more steel than a hardware store,' a friend noted. 'Clint talks to her about everything.' And Clint himself admitted, 'She is the very best friend I have. She loved me when no one else did.'" A representative for Eastwood did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. The couple, who had two children together during their marriage, got divorced in 1984. Eastwood and stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis welcomed a daughter, Kimber Lynn, in 1964, while he was still married to Johnson. Eastwood married Dina Ruiz in 1996, and the couple divorced in 2014. He also had long-term relationships with actresses Sondra Locke and Frances Fisher. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER The award-winning actor and director is a father of eight: Laurie Murray, Kimber Eastwood, Kyle Eastwood, Alison Eastwood , Scott Eastwood, Kathryn Eastwood, Francesca Eastwood and Morgan Eastwood. In July 2023, Eastwood announced his girlfriend of ten years, Christina Sandera, had died. "Christina was a lovely, caring woman, and I will miss her very much," he said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter at the time. A few days later, his daughter Morgan shared a photo with the couple, noting the "devastating" loss. "A devastating loss for our whole family," Morgan wrote of Sandera, who died at the age of 61 July 18. "Thank you Christina for being a good partner to my Dad. You will be missed." Sandera's cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia, the Monterey, California, County Department of Health said in a death certificate obtained by Fox News Digital. Two years after his loss, he said he had no plans to slow down professionally. In a recent interview with the Austrian newspaper Kurier, the director, who turned 95 in May, revealed he is in pre-production on a new movie, dispelling rumors that 2024's "Juror #2" would be his final film.

Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I'm not one of them."

Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh, 19, and 'girlfriend' enjoy steamy PDA in car after moving in together

Things appear to still be going strong between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt 's nepo baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie and her rumored girlfriend Keoni Rose, who were spotted in Studio City, CA together on Saturday. At one point, the 19-year-old dancer-choreographer - who was sporting her favorite red hoodie - packed on the PDA with the Movement Talent Agency-repped dancer inside a car. Shiloh and Keoni have 'temporarily moved in [together] for the last weeks' an insider told last Thursday. Exclusive photos obtained by us confirmed the move, showing the coy couple hugging outside their shared LA condo. Rose will soon head to Washington State to perform in a preview of Veronica Mendonca's dance production pAges at STG's Kerry Hall at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle this Saturday. It's a fundraiser for the flame-haired beauty and the cast to debut pAges at theSpaceUK during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland from August 18-23. Keoni previously went viral on TikTok in 2023 for posting her twerking, tortilla-flipping videos while Jolie's dance moves went viral in 2021. The pair were first photographed May 26 shopping together at Isabel Marant - two days after Shiloh choreographed a 'sometimes steamy number' for Rose and Tako Suzuki at the LA launch of the French designer's capsule collection with Net-A-Porter. It was that Luella-accompanied performance at Oliver House where Jolie debuted her professional name 'Shi' a little over a year after dropping her surname Pitt following her estrangement from her famous 61-year-old father. 'It brings a tear to the eye, yeah,' Brad gushed of 'beautiful' Shiloh to ET back in 2022. 'I don't know where she got it from. I'm Mr. Two-Left-Feet here. I love when they find their own way, find things they are interested in and flourish.' Jolie previously portrayed Pitt's onscreen daughter Caroline in David Fincher's 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which amassed $335.8M at the global box office. The Namibian-born teenager also voiced the male panda Shuai Shuai in Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni's 2016 animated comedy Kung Fu Panda 3 starring her famous 49-year-old mother, which amassed $521.2M at the global box office. Shiloh first made headlines for her androgynous 'Montenegro style' as Angelina told Vanity Fair in 2010 that 'she wants to be a boy' and Brad told Oprah Winfrey in 2008, 'she only wants to be called John.' On August 5, Jolie will celebrate the 24th birthday of her first child, Maddox Chivan Jolie. The F1 producer-star reportedly got into a physical altercation with Maddox aboard a private jet in 2016 and his son Pax, 21; called him a 'world-class a**hole' and a 'despicable person' in an explosive Instagram rant revealed by Five of the Oscar-winning exes' kids appear to be estranged from him including - Shiloh, Vivienne, 17; and Zahara, 20; - who've all dropped Pitt from their names. But it's unclear if their 17-year-old son Knox has also dropped his surname. 'None of my children want to be in front of the camera at this time,' Angelina told GMA on November 21. 'They're quite private. Shiloh's extremely private. They weren't born with privacy, right? So I hope they can have that as they grow.' The couple formerly known as 'Brangelina' finalized their divorce on Christmas Day. They were technically only married from 2014-2016 despite falling in love with each other on the 2004 set of spy flick Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which prompted Brad's 2005 divorce from Jennifer Aniston. However, Pitt and Jolie are entering year four of their legal war over their 1,200-acre winery Château Miraval in Correns, France where they wed, which is reportedly worth $164M. Angelina and Brad purchased the the 35-room estate together for $28.4M in 2011, but he sued her in 2021 after she sold her stake in the ownership to the Stoli Group without his approval, which prompted a countersuit. The Maria actress had initially offered to settle, but she reportedly took issue with the mandatory non-disclosure agreement and backed out.
