Last April, former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis was found unresponsive in his Florida home, and died at the age of 35. Not many details were released about Davis’ cause of death, but on Friday, the Broward County Fla. Medical Examiner gave an update on the case.
According to The Athletic, the medical examiner concluded that Davis’ cause of death and manner of death are undetermined. This isn’t exactly the kind of closure the NFL world was hoping for, and it sounds like we will never get that closure. Davis’ brother, former star tight end Vernon Davis, revealed during an interview with the Daily Mail last year that his younger brother appeared to collapse or slip after stepping out of a sauna. He also said that his brother never showed a history of drug use.
Davis played 10 seasons in the NFL, spending six years with the Indianapolis Colts, three with the Miami Dolphins and one with the Buffalo Bills. He famously retired at halftime of Buffalo’s Week 2 matchup during the 2018 season.
“I went to the bench after that series and it just hit me,” Davis said at the time. “I don’t belong on that field anymore.”
A first-round pick out of Illinois in 2009, Davis made two straight Pro Bowls during his time with the Colts in 2014 and 2015. In 121 career games played, Davis recorded 22 interceptions, 97 passes defensed and 395 combined tackles.

Commanders set to return to Washington, D.C., with new stadium deal; potential $3B complex could open in 2030
Getty Images Almost 30 years after leaving Washington, D.C., to play in Landover, Maryland, the Commanders are prepared to return to their roots. This week the team struck a deal with the District of Columbia to construct an all-new stadium complex, as the Commanders confirmed Monday, and could open the venue as soon as 2030.Rumors have swirled regarding the Commanders' stadium plans for years, as the club is only contracted to use the Northwest Stadium branding at its current Landover venue until 2027. Team owner Josh Harris, who acquired the franchise from Dan Snyder in 2023, had also been vocal about an interest in relocating the team back to D.C., where it famously played at RFK Stadium from 1961-1996.The Commanders' new deal is set to do just that, as ESPN first reported, with Washington now cleared to plan construction of […]

When will Liverpool get the Premier League trophy and will there be a parade?
Liverpool are Premier League title winners.They only required one point from their final five league games to earn their second Premier League trophy, and English record-equalling 20th title overall, but got the job done in style by defeating Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 on Sunday to round off a remarkable first season in charge for head coach Arne Slot.AdvertisementThe celebrations began well before the final whistle and will continue long after the campaign and trophy parade are over.Here’s The Athletic’s recap on what happened and what comes next.How big a surprise was it that Liverpool won the title?On Sunday? Not at all. Few expected anything other than a Liverpool title party against Spurs, whose focus was firmly fixed on their Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt.

Marcus Rashford expected to miss remainder of season with hamstring injury
Marcus Rashford is expected to miss the remainder of Aston Villa’s season with a hamstring injury.Further tests will be done to establish the severity of Rashford’s injury but it is not anticipated that he will need surgery.Villa have only four Premier League games to go in their season and the last of those is against Rashford’s parent club Manchester United on May 25, where he is ineligible to feature, meaning it is highly likely his club campaign is over. It is not completely out of the question that he is fit in time for Villa’s home game against Tottenham Hotspur on May 18, though that is complicated by the discussions over moving that fixture.AdvertisementRashford is now focussing on getting fit in time for England’s fixtures in June and then pre-season.
