Veteran Howson OK with Boro promotion 'failure'
Jonny Howson said he has no regrets at his failure to take Middlesbrough back into the Premier League. The midfielder left Boro last month after eight years on Teesside in which he played 341 games for the club, scoring 10 goals. The 37-year-old arrived at the Riverside from Norwich City in 2017 just after Boro had been relegated from the top flight but he was never part of a promotion campaign. "For why I came to this club, it was to gain promotion and go back and play in the Premier League with a terrific, well-supported club," he told BBC Radio Tees. "If you're basing it on that, I have failed, and I'm fine with that because I've given it everything I've got." 'I've had life moments here' Howson played under six permanent bosses at Middlesbrough and helped his team reach the play-offs on two occasions, although they lost in the semi-finals in both 2018 and 2023. He was part of the side that enjoyed memorable FA Cup successes over Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the 2021-22 season, and a Carabao Cup semi-final win over Chelsea in the first leg in January 2024, before the second leg ended in a heavy defeat. And the Middlesbrough supporters showed what they thought of Howson's efforts in the pre-season friendly at Rangers as a banner in the away end at Ibrox read: '8 years of loyalty and leadership. Thank you Jonny.' "I probably never thought I'd have eight goes at it, so that's a success in itself," Howson said. "I can look back at my time and be proud because we've created other memories. "Sometimes in life you don't get maybe what you deserve or what you want, but I've got no problem with that. "Look at the other stuff I've created, the people I've met. Promotion and playing in the Premier League is a football thing, but I've had life moments here, which are bigger than that."

Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. suffered broken leg in mock game, AP source says
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. broke his right leg in Las Vegas' mock game on Saturday, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the specifics of the injury were not announced. That person also said more information was needed to determine how long Johnson, who fractured his fibula, would be sidelined. Johnson has been competing on the second team in practices, but has been with the starters when the Raiders have gone to nickel defenses. This is his seventh season in the NFL. Johnson signed as a free agent after playing last season in Carolina. He started once for the Panthers and played in 15 games, making seven tackles. He also has played for New Orleans, Tennessee and Houston and has 20 career starts with 199 tackles and four interceptions. ___ AP NFL:
