Training Camps - English
The second week of training camp began with a major setback for quarterback Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. With hopes of returning to the Super Bowl after a 30-year drought, the team can hardly afford such blows – yet they’ve lost a key piece of their offensive line: guard Rob Jones.
The Cowboys’ line has been one of the NFL’s most inconsistent units in recent seasons, surrendering 30 sacks in 2021, 20 in 2022, 39 in 2023, and 21 last year. That’s why the front office signed Jones from the Miami Dolphins during the offseason, aiming to fortify protection for Prescott.
Jones, a five-season veteran with 30 career starts – including 17 in 2024 – joined Dallas on a one-year, $3.75 million deal. He was expected to serve as a plug-in starter while rookie Tyler Booker, the 12th overall pick in the 2025 draft, developed into the role.
Rob Jones’ injury sends shockwaves through Cowboys camp
Team sources reported insiders Adam Schefter and Todd Archer that Jones suffered a potentially career-ending injury. “Cowboys guard Rob Jones, who had been working with the starters early in camp, broke a bone in his neck during Sunday’s practice,” they revealed.
On the Cowboys’ website, Jones recounted, “It happened right at the first [rep].” Though he finished practice and even took a few snaps alongside Booker, his season ended before he officially played a single down.
No official timeline has been given, but Jones stated, “They’re saying it’ll be about two to three months.” He appeared with a neck brace during his media availability, and despite initial fears, the injury might be less severe than first believed.
Next moves for coach Schottenheimer
Jones’ injury is a serious blow to Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer’s depth chart. While Booker was slated to take over eventually, he may now be thrust into the starting role by Week 1 – long before expected.
Other potential replacements include Saahdiq Charles, Brook Hoffman, and T.J. Bass – all with starting experience. As the coaching staff weighs its options, fans are left hoping for Rob Jones’ swift and full recovery.

Dexter Lawrence: Giants Don’t Want to Let Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ‘Get Hot’
Philadelphia Eagles superstar Saquon Barkley is off to an underwhelming start on the stat sheet, but his former teammate isn't letting that impact how the New York Giants game-plan for the running back."[It] could be teams scheming for him [why Barkley is off to a slow start]. It happens, but you don't want to be the team to let him get hot," Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence said about Barkley on Tuesday ahead of the team's Week 6 matchup against the NFC East-rival Eagles in New Jersey. "So, you've got to stay disciplined Thursday and go win."Through Philadelphia's first five games, Barkley has rushed for 267 yards and three touchdowns on 3.2 yards per carry. For context, Barkley rushed for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns on a career-high 5.8 yards per carry last season, becoming just the ninth player in […]
NBA Rookie of the Year odds: Cooper Flagg is the heavy favorite, so is he still worth a bet?
When we covered Defensive Player of the Year odds, we dived into why making a minus-money bet before the season even begins is unwise. Yes, Victor Wembanyama is probably going to win the award, but the value there just isn't worthwhile. There's far more risk than reward at a minus-money price.Well, here we have yet another award with a minus-money favorite. The longest odds you can find on Cooper Flagg right now to win 2025-26 NBA Rookie of the Year are -175 at DraftKings. Yet there are three critical differences between Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year that actually make Flagg a reasonable bet:There is no 65-game minimum for eligibility. Sure, if Flagg misses half of the season, he probably won't win. But you won't have to worry about counting absences. You can win this award […]

2025 WNBA Finals: Three keys for the Mercury to bounce back from 2-0 deficit to Aces
The 2025 WNBA Finals will shift from the Mojave Desert to the Sonoran Desert for Games 3 and 4 between the Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury. After stealing Game 1, the Aces cruised in Game 2 to take a 2-0 lead in the first-ever best-of-seven series in WNBA history. The Mercury have been underdogs throughout this entire run, and fell behind in each of their first two series. A 2-0 deficit against a team with the best player in the world and plenty of championship experience is a different situation, however. Still, the Mercury are confident. "There's no panic, no pressure," Alyssa Thomas said Tuesday. "We love an underdog story. We love when people count us out. Of course, we put a tall task in front of us being down two [to] nothing, but there's still a lot of basketball left […]
