PFF College ranks Notre Dame's Charles Jagusah as a top-five offensive tackle nationally
The team said Jagusah's prognosis from the surgery is "favorable," so that is good news. And when he does return to the field, he will certainly make an instant impact as he is one of the better linemen in the country.
Jagusah's future is bright, as evidenced by Pro Football Focus College ranking him as the No. 5 OT for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Jagusah was projected to start at left tackle for the Fighting Irish entering the 2024 season but tore a pectoral muscle early in training camp. After missing the entire regular season, he returned for their College Football Playoff run. He filled in for Rocco Spindler at right guard and then started the national title game against Ohio State at left tackle.
He provides a lot of versatility, as he was slated to start at right guard for the Irish this fall.

Cowboys Working Out 3 Notable Free Agents Before Camp
Cowboys Working Out 3 Notable Free Agents Before Camp originally appeared on The Spun. With training camp fast approaching the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly kicking the tires on a number of potential free agents this weekend. As the team continues its negotiations with All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons, Dallas is reportedly working out three different pass rushers according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler — including Jesse Luketa, Kameron Cline and James Houston. All three potential signees are in their mid-to-late 20s and have seen their share of time on an NFL field. Houston came onto the scene pretty strong as a rookie in 2022 with eight sacks in seven games but has failed to match that production since. Meanwhile, Luketa is coming off his best season as a pro with the Arizona Cardinals; while Cline has served as a valuable practice squad body for the Buffalo Bills in recent years. The Cowboys are due to report to training camp on Monday and questions still linger about whether or not Parsons will be there. Jerry Jones and Co. have consistently dragged their feet on contracts for key players of late and its only resulted in the price going up to retain their stars. Parsons could holdout or "hold-in" as he seeks the big money contract extension that his performance has earned. But at the same time, signing Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb to top of the market deals has really hamstrung the team and flexibility against the cap. If Parsons does withhold his services its hard to imagine the Cowboys won't eventually give in to his demands. However, its still very much on the table that they kick the can down the road into Working Out 3 Notable Free Agents Before Camp first appeared on The Spun on Jul 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

NFL Team Calls Out Their First Round Pick Ahead Of Training Camp
NFL Team Calls Out Their First Round Pick Ahead Of Training Camp originally appeared on The Spun. With most NFL training camps getting underway this week, only one first-round pick remains unsigned: Bengals EDGE Shemar Stewart. After being selected 17th overall by Cincinnati earlier this year, Stewart has yet to report this offseason outside of a brief appearance at the team's rookie minicamp which he left due to his ongoing contract dispute. And now the franchise's director of player personnel is directly calling out the former Texas A&M star. Speaking to the media on Monday, Duke Tobin made it very clear that he'd like to see Stewart at the team's facility sooner rather than later. "I hope Shemar comes in," Tobin said. "He needs to be here. I would encourage him to be here. He could be a factor for a championship-caliber football team. I'd like to see him and I hope he gets here soon." "I don't blame Shemar. He's listening to the advice he's paying for. I don't understand the advice," the front office man added. "We're treating him fairly." Bengals president Mike Brown also offered his thoughts on the matter. Saying that most of it centers around the guaranteed dollars in Stewart's rookie contract. "The issue seems to be about guaranteed money, if in the event, he acted in a way that was contrary to league rules, or our rules, for example, if he got into a criminal situation," Brown explained. "That's what's holding up this contract, and from our vantage point, it's a form of foolishness. It just ought to get done," he concluded. "There is no dispute over the money. It's just a dispute in his mind that I guess, if he did something that really deserved punishment, that he would want the whole contract guaranteed." Stewart has reportedly looked into the potential of returning to school amid his holdout — something that's never been done Team Calls Out Their First Round Pick Ahead Of Training Camp first appeared on The Spun on Jul 21, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Dallas Cowboys Star Announces It's Super Bowl Or Bust
Dallas Cowboys Star Announces It's Super Bowl Or Bust originally appeared on The Spun. Expectations for the Cowboys are actually pretty modest this year — at least outside of the building. Following a 7-10 season that saw Dallas finish third in the NFC East, the team has since moved on from head coach Mike McCarthy and inserted Brian Schottenheimer. But that isn't stopping a star member of the Cowboys offensive line from thinking they can still hoist the Lombardi in 2025. Asked about his prediction for the season as training camp begins, two-time Pro Bowler Tyler Smith didn't shy away. Telling reporters, "Super Bowl champions … That's always the expectations." Outside of Micah Parsons' contract situation, Dallas is also facing a looming contract extension for Smith who could become the league's highest-paid guard whenever that deal takes place. As ESPN's Todd Archer notes: "The Kansas City Chiefs signed Trey Smith to a four-year deal worth $94 million. The Eagles' Landon Dickerson was the highest-paid guard at $21 million per; now it's $23.5 million for Trey Smith. Would the Cowboys be wise to match that? Go a little higher in the average? Probably so." "Smith recently made an agent change, moving to Joe Panos. In 2014, Panos was Tyron Smith's agent when he signed his eight-year extension. The Cowboys had exercised Tyron Smith's fifth-year option in 2015, but signed him in training camp. So there's a good working history between the club and agent." Smith has been awesome in his three seasons with the club after being drafted 24th overall out of Tulsa. But with so much of the franchise's expenses tied up in two (and soon, three) players, it's going to be interesting to see how it shakes out. The Dallas Cowboys have not reached a Super Bowl or even an NFC Championship in three decades now. Will that finally come to an end in February?Dallas Cowboys Star Announces It's Super Bowl Or Bust first appeared on The Spun on Jul 21, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.
