Watch: Patriots rookie makes play of the day after quiet training camp

Yahoo10 hours ago
New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III put an end to a thus-far quiet training camp with a diving touchdown catch at Monday's practice.
The undrafted rookie's immediate rise in the receivers' room was one of the biggest talking points over the spring. However, things have been eerily silent on the Chism front ever since the start of training camp. He has quickly gone from being a dark horse many predicted to make the team to being left off most 53-man roster projections.
With that said, there is still plenty of training camp left to go, and Chism finally made his mark on a beautiful touchdown reception down the right sideline on a pass play from quarterback Joshua Dobbs.
It isn't out of the realm of possibility that the Patriots could keep six or even seven receivers on their final roster. Those extra spots being open could mean an opportunity for Chism to make the team.
But Chism will need to give the team a reason to keep him around. His reliable hands and speed getting in and out of his routes are reminiscent of past Patriots greats, like Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman. We'll see if it translates to game action when the Patriots go head-to-head with the Washington Commanders in Friday's preseason opener.

Report – Mason Greenwood One Of Two Inter Milan Alternatives To Atalanta & Nigeria Talisman

Mason Greenwood and Lois Openda have emerged as potential targets for Inter Milan amid the uncertainty surrounding Ademola Lookman. According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri could turn to one of them to strengthen their attack. Despite Atalanta's effort to obstruct the transfer, Ademola Lookman is keen to complete his move to Inter. However, the San Siro giants cannot afford to wait indefinitely. Therefore, they are exploring alternative options to avoid being left empty-handed. Inter Milan to Target Greenwood & Openda if Lookman Pursuit Fails LEIPZIG, GERMANY – MARCH 15: Lois Openda of RB Leipzig celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Bundesliga match between RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund at Red Bull Arena on March 15, 2025 in Leipzig, Germany. (Photo by) With Atalanta reluctant to crack under pressure, Inter are putting contingency plans in place. One leads to Lois Openda, who could leave RB Leipzig this summer after the club faltered in the Bundesliga last term. Indeed, the Red Bull outfit will not feature in the Champions League this season. As such, the Belgian forward is open to a move away in search of top-level European football. Meanwhile, Greenwood would be an even more exciting option for Inter following an outstanding season at Marseille. However, the former Manchester United forward would likely come with a hefty price tag, making the transfer less feasible.

Report – Atalanta Talisman Has Done Three Crucial Things To Force Inter Milan Transfer

Atalanta stalwart Ademola Lookman has used every tool available to force his long-awaited transfer to Inter Milan. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nigerian has handed the Nerazzurri a triple transfer boost. Inter's pursuit of the 27-year-old forward has turned into a drawn-out saga. Despite the player's desire to join the Nerazzurri, Atalanta's unwillingness to budge on their €50 million valuation remains an issue. Indeed, Cristian Chivu's men have been unable to match La Dea's asking price. Atalanta Star Ademola Lookman Hands Inter Milan Triple Transfer Boost BERGAMO, ITALY – JANUARY 21: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD7 match between Atalanta BC and SK Sturm Graz at Stadio di Bergamo on January 21, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Ademola Lookman is desperate to continue his career at San Siro. Therefore, he has done everything in his power to force a move. For starters, the former RB Leipzig winger has already erased all social media posts linking him with Atalanta. Moreover, he deliberately skipped the team's gathering and later refused to report for training. On that basis, the player's intention looks clear and transparent. However, it's up to Inter to soften Atalanta's stance. Otherwise, they may soon need to look elsewhere for reinforcements.

Report – Atalanta ‘Disappointed' By Inter Milan Target Behavior As Atletico Madrid & Napoli Watch From Afar

Atalanta are growing frustrated with Ademola Lookman, who seems hellbent on forcing his transfer to Inter Milan. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Luca Percassi is 'disappointed' with the player's behavior. Lookman has made no secret of his desire to join the Nerazzurri. Indeed, the 27-year-old has taken concrete action to secure a big-money switch to San Siro. However, his efforts have so far been in vain. Atalanta Frustrated with Ademola Lookman Behavior Amid Inter Milan Links BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 12: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta warms up prior to the Serie A match between Atalanta and AS Roma at Gewiss Stadium on May 12, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Atalanta have turned down two Inter's offers for Ademola Lookman. Despite a substantial €45 million bid, they continue to insist on their €50 million valuation. Meanwhile, the Nigerian forward is trying to put more pressure on the club to let him leave. Accordingly, he has refused to train and removed all social media posts. Percassi has found this rebellious behaviour unacceptable and could soon fine the former RB Leipzig winger. Therefore, Inter can still realistically hope to sign their top attacking target. Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid and Napoli are keeping close tabs on the situation.
