'First day back on the field' - Rodman offers positive injury update
Trinity Rodman's return to the field looks to be drawing ever closer.
The U.S. women's national team and Washington Spirit star posted a video on Instagram of her doing sprints as she continues her rehab from a back injury.
"First day back on the field," Rodman said before adding: "Field conditioning in 100 degree weather ... did I throw up as soon as I stopped this session? Hehe yes I did."
Rodman has been out since April 12 with a recurrence of an issue that has given her trouble since her rookie season.
The 23-year-old has made just four appearances for the Spirit this season. Rodman also played for the USWNT in an April friendly against Brazil, scoring a goal in her first national team game since the 2024 Olympics.
She was shut down with the injury just a week later.
Earlier this month, USWNT coach Emma Hayes said Rodman is in line to return in July. The USWNT star's video on Wednesday would seem to support that assertion.

Deion Sanders rehabilitating in weighted vest, promises to return to job soon
Colorado football coach Deion Sanders has been rehabilitating in a weighted vest with the help of his son Deion Jr. as he tries to come back from an unspecified health issue and return to his job in Boulder. Sanders, 57, provided two recent updates on Instagram, including one on Saturday that showed him wearing a weighted vest next to Deion Jr. 'Every little step I take My son @deionsandersjr has been there so we've decided to keep on stepping!' Sanders wrote in the post Saturday. '#CoachPrime coming to a stadium sold out soon.' In another post from June 26, he used his situation to promote an energy drink sponsor in the same vest. '1 step closer Everyday,' he wrote. 'I'm Walking it out! Our Team is working their butts off therefore I've got to match that (fire) they have!' Sanders Sr. has been away from his coaching job since April as he dealt with his health issue at his estate in Texas. He did not attend Colorado's annual youth and high school camps in June even though operating such camps is listed in his Colorado contract as one of his official duties. In May, he was unable to attend the wedding of former Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter in Tennessee. 'He know why we couldn't be there,' Sanders Jr. said on his YouTube channel after Hunter's wedding. Sanders Sr. also canceled a speaking engagement in Florida scheduled for June 8. The timing of his return to campus remains unclear, but he is scheduled to appear at a Big 12 Conference media event in Frisco, Texas on July 9. Wearing weighted vests helps build strength and endurance. They also help stimulate the growth of new bone cells, according to Harvard Medical School. Deion Jr. said in a video posted on YouTube June 21 that his father was 'back active, moving around' and has made progress. Sanders Sr. previously said on social media on June 11 that 'everything is OKAY' and that he would provide a full update upon his return to Colorado. In late May, Sanders Sr. appeared on a podcast with former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel and said that 'what I'm dealing with right now is at a whole 'nother level' but said he's coming back after losing about 14 pounds. Sanders previously battled issues with blood clots in his legs and had to miss a Pac-12 Conference media event in Las Vegas because of it in July 2023.

Davis Thompson makes three eagles in just eight holes at Rocket Classic
The skies were clear but lightning figuratively struck twice Saturday at Detroit Golf Club as a second golfer in the 2025 Rocket Classic made three eagles in one round. Atlanta native Davis Thompson, 26, became the second golfer in two days to drop three eagles in a single round at the PGA Tour's Rocket Classic in Detroit during Saturday's action. Before Philip Knowles did it Friday in the second round, the feat had never been accomplished during the previous six years of the Rocket. It had only happened once on the PGA Tour in 2025: Chandler Phillips did it in Round 1 at the Players Championship. Thompson's three eagles were even more rare because all three came on the front nine — in his first eight holes. Thompson, who started the day at 8-under, six shots back of the leaders, had his first eagle on the first hole, where he hit a 303-yard drive. His 80-yard wedge fell in for a deuce on the short par-4. He sank a birdie on the par-5 fourth, bogeyed Nos. 5 and 6, and then made back-to-back eagles on the par-5 seventh and short par-4 eighth. No. 7 has been a popular eagle this week, and Thompson took advantage. A 316-yard drive and 234-yard approach shot gave him a 37-foot putt, which he drained to recover from the bogeys. The 352-yard par-4 eighth hole is guarded by sand traps on each side, and though many players have birdied it, Thompson defeated the hole by simply driving the ball 344 yards to 7 feet. He capitalized with his third eagle of the day to climb to 5 under par on the round and 13-under total. He bogeyed the par-3 ninth to shoot a 4-under 32 on the front. Thompson then bounced back with a birdie on the par-4 No. 10. Thompson moved up 32 spots with his performance on the front nine and inside the top 10 as the leaders teed off.

Why A Collaborative NHL And NHLPA Decided On Four-Year CBA Extension Instead Of Longer
LOS ANGELES – They couldn't say much, but the bigwigs with the NHL and the Players' Association did confirm we have entered an era of almost unheard-of labor peace in hockey. Gathering the morning of the NHL draft in Los Angeles, commissioner Gary Bettman, deputy commissioner Bill Daly, NHLPA executive director Marty Walsh and NHLPA assistant executive director Ron Hainsey held a press conference where they confirmed that a new collective bargaining agreement was ready to be ratified by its constituents. Because that ratification hasn't officially happened, they were scant with the details of what said CBA would contain, but what we do know at least is that it will be four years long and begin after next season. So the next five years are taken care of. "We had a very constructive, professional, collaborative collective bargaining process," Bettman said. "We identified the issues that were important to both sides, and Marty and I have established a very good tone and very good basis for our relationship going forward. I am delighted." As Walsh noted, the league and the union have been on a roll lately, and both sides wanted to keep that momentum going. From the 4 Nations Face-Off to the upcoming Olympics and World Cup, there has been a lot to work on together in a positive sense lately, which seems to have bled over to the nitty-gritty of a new CBA. "Compared to other negotiations I've been part of, this was a little different," Walsh said. "We went back-and-forth with very open dialogue. Even the complicated issues that might have come up were given complete thought on both sides, and we were able to get to some good resolutions here. I'm happy with the process, and hopefully, the players will be happy with the outcome." Bettman, who had faced some heated pushback from past NHLPA leaders during his reign as commissioner, couldn't help but add his two cents on his relationship with Walsh so far, addressing the union head sitting next to him on stage. "To say this was a little different – from my standpoint, I assure you this was completely different," Bettman said. "And that's a testament to you and the tone you set." As for why the new CBA will come in at four years, Walsh had a very reasonable take on why he prefers what we could call a 'mid-length' agreement. "I like having contracts that are four or five years at the max so you have an opportunity to see what's right, and if there's a mistake you can fix it down the road," he said. "For longer-term contracts you have players in the league who have never gone through these negotiations. We have some players who came into this league under the last agreement and retired under the last agreement. They never had a chance to really express their collective bargaining opinions or rights. I just feel it's important to capture the thoughts of the players at the time. Generations of players change, so we want to make sure we get them active." Eventually, the NHL could be run by the likes of Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini and Matthew Schaefer. This new CBA – whatever it contains – will give them a chance to play under one agreement while looking ahead to the next one, which they could help shape. And as long as the current relationship between Bettman and Walsh stays strong, that CBA might be fairly frictionless, too.
