Only one Tennessee Titans player is set to attend the 2025 Tight End University
Rookie tight end Gunnar Helm was invited and will attend the 2025 Tight End University. The three-day event, founded by tight ends George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and Greg Olsen in 2021, brings together different members of the tight end fraternity for an immersive training summit that focuses on every aspect of the tight end position.

For Helm, this period should help him as he transitions into the NFL after a successful college career. During the camp, players will not only have the opportunity to get to know each other, but they will also participate in film study sessions, on-field drills, and off-field bonding activities. Not to mention being able to pick the brains of some of the retired legends that helped shape the position into what it is today.
Helm is one of the tight ends who will be in attendance, and the only member of the Titans' tight end room who will be there this season. This breaks a two-year streak made by starter Chig Okonkwo, who had attended the events before the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

Athletics make decision on trading Mason Miller
Fans of the Athletics have surely seen the rumors of a Mason Miller trade. It makes sense that other teams would want the closer who can throw his fastball 104 miles per hour. But would the A's really trade him? Turns out, they aren't planning on it. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported on Sunday that, "The Athletics have told teams they're wasting their time by even calling: They are trading closer Mason Miller." MORE: Former Yankees, Astros slugger reaches 500 career home runs far from home The A's still have club control of Miller through 2029. The 26-year old can be their closer for a long, long time. He hasn't been quite as dominant this year as last, but he's still clearly one of the best bullpen aces in all of baseball. The Athletics could command a fortune for him, if they want, but based on this report, that won't be happening.

Jack Draper withdraws from US Open warm-up tournaments with arm injury
British No 1 Jack Draper has withdrawn from two warm-up tournaments ahead of the US Open with an arm injury picked up after Wimbledon. The 23-year-old will miss Toronto and Cincinnati, two important tournaments in the American hard-court swing before the year's final major. The Londoner said on social media that the injury was 'nothing serious' but added, 'I have to make sure it recovers fully for the rest of the season.' 'See you in NYC!' he added. Draper, whose biggest weapons on court are his powerful lefty serve and forehand, did not elaborate on the injury but said it was in his left arm. His Wimbledon came to an abrupt end in the second round with defeat by veteran and former SW19 finalist, Marin Cilic. The loss meant that the Brit has still never gone past the second round at his home slam, but he has significant points to defend in Flushing Meadows. He reached the semi-finals last year, losing to eventual winner Jannik Sinner in a dramatic match where he struggled with nerves and sickness. The result capped off a phenomenal breakout season for him and marked a maiden last-four appearance at a grand slam, on his preferred surface. He has since risen to a high of world No 4 and currently sits at fifth in the world rankings.

Texans DE Will Anderson Jr. breaks down infamous Patrick Mahomes 'flop' in playoff loss
Six months ago, Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. made headlines in the divisional round against the Kansas City Chiefs for a hit that seemed to favor the NFL's poster boy. Now, he's telling his side of the story. In an interview on the Ross Tucker Podcast, Anderson confirmed suspicions that plagued Texans fans in Arrowhead Stadium, stating his hit on MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes during the first quarter was clean. "I hit his chest, I hit his chest, but I just got to be better," Anderson told Tucker. "Me and my coach and talked about it. We've got to be better just when it comes to how you hit the quarterback and we got to drill it more and stuff like that." On the second drive of the game, the Texans were trying to force a quick three-and-out. On third-and-8, Anderson brushed over Mahomes' chest as he released the pass, which should have resulted in a punt. Instead, Anderson was flagged with a roughing the passer call, which tacked on 15 yards and placed Kansas City in Houston territory. "I don't even know if you touched him or not, dude, he snapped his head back like he got whiplash in a car accident going 70 miles an hour," Anderson said. The hit eventually led to a scoring drive and a 23-14 loss, though it wasn't even the most egregious call of the afternoon. Houston mounted a comeback, bringing the game within one entering the fourth quarter. On another third down, Mahomes scrambled for a first down and began to slide to avoid contact from defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi and linebacker Henry To'oTo'o. The two Texans ended up colliding with each other, nearly knocking each other out of the game, but officials instead called it an unnecessary roughness penalty, tacking on 15 yards and a first down, which led to the eventual game-winning touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce several plays later. "I think it's for everybody's these runners are running, quarterbacks are running and for defensive players, how are we fixing the safety on both sides of the ball to make the game safer for everyone," Anderson said. "But like I said: we've got to do a better job defensively of how we are attacking our tackling and stuff like... our head placement. We'll work on it this offseason and get it fixed." As Anderson put it, officials are looking to protect quarterbacks rather than focusing on proper plays. Everything must come down to an exact science to avoid the flag from the zebras. "You've got to be perfect in the playoffs," Anderson said. This article originally appeared on Texans Wire: Texans DE Will Anderson Jr. shares thoughs on playoff 'Mahomes flop'
