Will the Vikings have center Garrett Bradbury for their next game?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:35:04 GMT

Maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Vikings looked out of sorts on offense in the early stages of Sunday’s season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.A couple of possessions into the game, starting center Garrett Bradbury walked into the medical tent with a lower back injury and did not return in the 20-17 loss.Now his status for Thursday’s primetime game against the Philadelphia Eagles is up in the air.“I would classify him as day-to-day,” head coach Kevin O’Connell said. “Whether Garrett is able to turn over on a short week or it’ll be (backup center Austin Scholttmann) out there, whatever combination we decide to go with, we’ll put together the plan that works while hopefully getting Garrett back as soon as we can.”Asked how he thought Scholttmann played in relief, quarterback Kirk Cousins praised him for stepping up.“We have great players,” Cousins said. “I think Austin Schlottmann did a...

Broncos Kareem Jackson on “bang-bang” play that drew critical penalty and injured Jakobi Meyers: “Obviously we don’t play this game to hurt guys”

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:35:04 GMT

Kareem Jackson knew his team needed the ball back.Third-and-8 from the Las Vegas 44-yard line, Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo hit Jakobi Meyers over the middle and Jackson laid out to try to stop him short of the first down.Jackson, though, hit Meyers high and Meyers crumpled to the turf. Players from both teams gathered around before he was able to sit up on his own and walk off the field with help from trainers.A scary situation and a costly 15-yard penalty on Jackson. A stop the Broncos desperately needed and failed to get — Las Vegas ran the final 2 minutes, 54 seconds off the clock thanks to a Garoppolo first-down run a minute later to secure a 17-16 victory. But also, hopefully, a serious injury avoided.“I just want to say I hope he’s alright,” Jackson told reporters afterward. “Obviously we don’t play this game to hurt guys. It’s a tough sport we play. … Unfortunately stuff like that happens. Definitely sending my thoughts and prayers ...

Can Farhan Zaidi’s team meeting propel the SF Giants to the playoffs?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:35:04 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — What can a team meeting accomplish? A regular feature of many clubhouses over the years, it’s something that’s easy to credit when it’s followed by success and equally easy to dismiss when it doesn’t lead to the desired results.“I’ve always been against meetings,” Giants reliever Luke Jackson said before their series finale against the Rockies, ESPN’s Sunday night game of the week. “I’ve been a part of most meetings and we lose afterward and they’re terrible. But this year, we’re 2-0 after meetings.”The latest, first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, came Friday, before their first game against Colorado, and the message came from on high. President Farhan Zaidi was first to address the group, but speakers also included longtime coach Ron Wotus and a handful of veterans.What followed were back-to-back wins, their first of September after starting the month with six straight losses. The team also responded to...
