Joey Savatgy returns to Supercross in Foxborough
Savatgy was riding eighth at the time of his Lap 13 accident and brought out a red cross flag that allowed eventual winner, Cooper Webb, to close the distance on Chase Sexton.
Savatgy qualified for all nine prior features this season and entered the round tied for 10th in the championship standings with Eli Tomac. He has since slipped to 14th but has a 41-point cushion over 21st in the standings. After the Pro Motocross outdoor season, the top 20 earn an automatic invitation to the SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs.
Entering Indianapolis, Savatgy had four top-10 finishes.

Brenden Schooler Vying To Become Patriots' Next Special Teams Captain
Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. The longest tenures left in the kicking game are no longer left in the kicking game. But a successor has emerged for the New England Patriots following the retirement of Matthew Slater and release of Joe Cardona in back-to-back offseasons. Brenden Schooler is in waiting as the next special teams captain. It's atop the list of goals for the 28-year-old as training camp begins in Foxborough. 'I think more of a leadership role,' Schooler told reporters during his Tuesday press conference at Gillette Stadium. 'I know I kind of talked about it last year, as well, but Joe Cardona was still here and he was that seasoned vet in the special teams room. So to kind of be thrusted into that role, I'm very excited about that, and to hopefully get to wear a 'C' on my chest and be elected by these guys on the team.' Schooler finds himself on the doorstep of his fourth NFL season. A run that began as an undrafted free agent following stints with the Oregon Ducks, Arizona Wildcats and Texas Longhorns has gone on to span 50 games. He went from a PFWA All-Rookie selection in 2022 to an NFLPA All-Pro selection in 2023. And in 2024, Pro Bowl and AP first-team All-Pro honors arrived under special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer. 'When it comes to punt, punt return on the perimeter, anybody who has any questions, I want to be that guy,' Schooler said. 'I had great mentors like Cody Davis, Matthew Slater, Justin Bethel, even Joe Cardona when it comes to rushes on punt. Just taking those guys under my wing and showing them all the ways that I learned.' Schooler reached agreement on a three-year, $9 million contract extension with the Patriots last October. The deal through 2027 carries $3.6 million guaranteed as well as a max value of $10.5 million. 'Any way I can be a role model to those guys and be a teacher,' Schooler said of his teammates in the transitional phase. 'I'm still trying to be a student of the game. If I learn something new, I want to teach them something new, too. Just trying to be that guy in the room now that's kind of the quote, unquote 'old head' now and I've seen a lot of ball out there. It's crazy I'm only going into Year 4, but these guys look at me like I'm an old guy.' Schooler has amassed 1,115 snaps on special teams for New England. From Bill Belichick to Jerod Mayo and now Mike Vrabel as head coach, his stay includes 40 tackles to go with four fumble recoveries, one blocked field goal and one blocked punt. And as a blitzing safety in the 'Longhorn' package, Schooler saw the initial 52 downs of his career on defense last campaign. That situational role, which he hopes to expand upon, brought sacks against the Chicago Bears' Caleb Williams and Miami Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa. A team-high 86.5% of the workload on special teams was also logged. 'As long as the leaders who are supposed to be leaders on the team are your best players on the field, then those guys are going to raise the standard and raise the bar,' added Schooler. 'If you're not meeting that standard, if you're not rising to the occasion, then I think we're going to have a hard time. And so, to be that guy and to hold that standard, that's something that I take very personal. I want to be that guy. I want to be part of something great that we're going to build here. 'It's about the guys on the team who are going to hold the standard, and those need to be your best players who are going to be on the field day in and day out. To wear that 'C' on my chest, it's a huge deal, especially being at this level. Coming in as a guy who was undrafted to hopefully get to wear a 'C' on my chest, that would be a huge honor. I wouldn't want to let anybody down who got to wear that before me, who's going to wear that after me, so it's about holding that standard and keeping that tradition alive here of dominant football.' New England's first practice of training camp is set for Wednesday at 10:15 a.m. ET.

Mike Vrabel 'not messing around' as he prepares for 1st training camp as Patriots coach
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Mike Vrabel was hired as New England Patriots coach seven months ago to recalibrate a team that hasn't won a playoff game since its most recent Super Bowl win in the 2018 season, and has slumped to 4-13 finishes the past two seasons. Everything Vrabel has done, from hiring his coaching staff to building out the roster through free agency and the draft, has been about laying a foundation for his first season. Advertisement As important as all those steps and initial spring workouts have been in the process, the work begins in earnest Wednesday with the start of training camp. He said his message to his new team will be simple. 'It's time to build a team,' Vrabel said. 'We have to start coming together as a football team.' Vrabel arrived at Foxborough having shared history with each of his two predecessors — winning two Super Bowls as a player under Bill Belichick and then playing his final season in New England alongside Belichick successor Jerod Mayo. When he was hired in January, Vrabel said his initial goal would be to put together a team capable of taking advantage of opponents when they play bad football. Advertisement That's still an ongoing project, but one that he believes they've made headway on. 'We're closer than where we were in March or April when we got here. I think we are,' Vrabel said. 'I think the players are starting to understand. We talk about the good, the bad, and the (stuff) that gets you beat, and I think that they can tell the difference between those three now.' Special teamer Brenden Schooler, who earned his first All-Pro selection last season, said the no-nonsense vibe Vrabel has introduced is noticeable around the team facility. 'You're not scared, but you know he's not messing around,' Schooler said. Advertisement One thing that has helped Vrabel make an early impression is that he won't be coaching any players that have links to the Patriots most recent run of success. Following the release of long snapper Joe Cardona in April, there are no remaining players on New England's roster that were on the 2018 Super Bowl team. As he begins the process of whittling down the 91 players that will begin camp, Vrabel said he wants to see them not just try to make the roster but carve out a role with the team. 'There's a lot of different levels to what those roles are, and in my 14-year career I've had plenty of them: from special teams, multiple-position backup, to starter, a starter that was expected to be productive, to a veteran leader,' Vrabel said. 'So, there's multiple levels of what that role will be, and it's up to them to earn it.'. Advertisement No limits for Diggs Receiver Stefon Diggs passed his physical and will be practicing without limitations nine months after undergoing season-ending knee surgery. 'It's just a testament to how hard he worked,' Vrabel said. 'Is he going to take every single rep of every single period? No, and I don't think any player will. But I think we're off to a good start and encouraged by what we saw here in the last couple of days.' A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Diggs had six straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons for the Vikings and Bills before he was traded from Buffalo to Houston last spring. He had 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight games for the Texans before he tore the ACL in his right knee in October. ___ AP NFL:
