Jayson Tatum sheds boot in encouraging Celtics rehab sign after Achilles tear
Jayson Tatum is making strides on his road to recovery. The Celtics star revealed on Instagram Sunday that he no longer has a boot on his right foot as he heals from the ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered during Game 4 of Boston's second-round series against the Knicks on May 12. Tatum underwent surgery about 18 hours after the gruesome injury, and he has been rehabbing throughout the summer. Jayson Tatum posted an Instagram story Sunday of himself without a boot on his right foot. @jaytatum0/Instagram Before posting his update on Instagram, he was last seen working out with the Chattanooga men's basketball team at the program's facility on Friday. The Celtics have not offered a timetable on Tatum's return, but the 27-year-old is widely expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2025-26 season. 'He seems to be doing really well. Rehabbing's hard. Anyone who's been through a long injury and a long recovery, it's just a challenge,' Celtics president Brad Stevens said on the broadcast of Boston's July 13 Summer League game. 'Mental challenge, physical challenge, obviously. But he got the surgery right away, and from that point on, his mindset was, 'We're going after this thing and trying to get better.' Jayson Tatum ruptured his right Achilles tendon in Game 4 of the Celtics' second-round series against the Knicks. AP 'He's a competitor. He's gonna compete in everything he does, including rehab. I'm really encouraged. I've basically seen him every day in Boston for the last 50 days. Usually, he goes away at the end of the season and then comes back, but he's just stayed there and been doing his rehab. It's been fun to spend time with him every day and just try to catch up and see how he's doing as we watch him make the strides he needs to make.' Tatum, a five-time All-NBA honoree, averaged 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists last season. When he makes his return, he'll join a new-look Celtics team that no longer features Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, but has new additions in Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang.

'I think Texas A&M makes the playoff': SEC football analyst predicts Aggie CFP bid
While many media members at the Southeastern Conference's media days predicted Texas A&M to finish in the middle of the pack in league play this season, one college football analyst made a bold prediction for the Aggies to reach this year's College Football Playoff. Rusty Mansell, co-owner and publisher of DawgsHQ, joined Michael Bratton (SEC Mike) on "That SEC Podcast" to talk SEC football following a packed week in Atlanta, Georgia. With the league's annual preseason meetings concluding and fall camp set to kick off shortly, SEC Mike asked Mansell to provide the boldest take heading into the 2025 campaign. Mansell's response? He believes that the Aggies are primed for a CFP bid this season, which would mark the program's first playoff appearance if those hopes come to fruition. Here is the full clip from "That SEC Podcast" where Mansell and SEC Mike discussed Texas A&M's potential heading into the second year under head coach Mike Elko: Whether the Aggies will reach the CFP will be determined by how the program handles one of the toughest schedules in the country. Ranked as the No. 9 slate by ESPN metrics, Texas A&M will have road tests against Notre Dame, LSU and Texas, all of which will have massive postseason implications. Having a talented gunslinger at the helm will help the Aggies stay on course, however. Marcel Reed enters his sophomore year in College Station after throwing for 1,864 yards and 15 touchdowns in 11 games played last season. The two-time SEC Freshman of the Week honoree (Sep. 16 and Oct. 28) also recorded 547 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. With experience under his belt and targets like former ACC Freshman Offensive Player of the Year KC Concepcion surrounding him, Reed has all the pieces to complete the puzzle and lead the Aggies to the CFP in 2025. While the Texas A&M secondary has been a weak spot of the defensive unit for a long time, that could soon change as well with the return of Will Lee III and the addition of transfer standouts Julian Humphrey (Georgia) and Jordan Shaw (Washington), rounding out the Aggie secondary this season. Can the Aggies defy the odds and reach the 2025-2026 CFP? The Maroon and White faithful will have to wait just 41 more days before those answers begin to unfold on the gridiron at Kyle Field.
