Russell Wilson's Wife Ciara Reveals Exciting Personal Update
Ciara has been out and about the past couple of weeks.
It's been a decade since Ciara performed in London, but her return at Mighty Hoopla Festival on Sunday night was anything but quiet.
The R&B icon and wife of NFL player Russell Wilson headlined the festival this past weekend, alongside Ke$ha, who performed on Saturday night. Other people in the lineup this year included JADE from Little Mix, Jojo, Loreen and Erika Jayne.
During her set, the "Goodies" singer stepped out in an all-white ensemble: a corset-style tank top, matching pants, a pair of Nike Air Force 1s, a dramatic fur coat and a large statement-making crown to top it all off.
"Came back to perform in London after a decade and headline the Mighty Hoopla Festival!" Ciara wrote on Instagram a few hours after leaving the stage. "What an amazing feeling it was to hear all 20K + of you singing my songs with me! I will never forget this moment! 🫶🏽 🇬🇧."
Ciara's previous performance in London prior to the Mighty Hoopla was on July 5, 2015, at the Wireless Festival. This event marked the conclusion of her "Jackie Tour" and was her sole European show during that tour.
Before that, she performed in London in June 2009 as a supporting act for Britney Spears' The Circus Starring Britney Spears Tour at The O2 Arena.
The 39-year-old also went to TikTok to celebrate this personal milestone, dancing to Brittany Spears' "Toxic" after finishing her performance.
"After you just Headlined the Hoopla Festival with over 20 plus thousand crowd," she wrote as her caption. The week before, Ciara presented at this year's American Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Philadelphia Eagles' updated 90-man roster with uniform numbers for training camp
Here's an overview of the Philadelphia Eagles' 90-man roster ahead of Wednesday's first training camp practice Philadelphia has moved past Super Bowl 59 and is locked in on having a singular focus on the 2025 NFL regular season. Howie Roseman orchestrated another roster makeover in free agency, the 10-player NFL Draft, and several talented undrafted free agents. The Organized Team Activities and the Mandatory Minicamp have now concluded, and the Philadelphia Eagles have returned to the NovaCare Complex. Veterans are reporting this morning, July 22, with a July 23 practice to follow – and a surprise move or two could still be on the way, but the majority of the work has been completed. After watching 12 players depart in free agency, Roseman added two dynamic SEC linebackers, an All-American pass rusher, three offensive linemen, and an accomplished quarterback from Philadelphia. With the first practice scheduled for Wednesday, here's an overview of the Philadelphia Eagles' 90-man roster by jersey number, with training camp kicking off. QB --4 Jalen Hurts #1 Tanner McKee #16 Dorian Thompson-Robinson #14 Kyle McCord- Drafted Rookie #19 Hurts is the reigning Super Bowl MVP, and he'll enter 2025 with his fourth offensive coordinator in five years with the Eagles. After Kenny Pickett was traded to Cleveland, Tanner McKee became the unquestioned backup quarterback. At the same time, Dorian Thompson-Robinson offered an athletic option at No. 3. Things got even more interesting after Howie Roseman drafted Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord with pick No. 181 in the sixth round. The St. Joe's Prep star attended Ohio State before transferring and heading to Syracuse, and he clearly created separation between himself and Thompson-Robinson. RB --7 Saquon Barkley #26 A.J. Dillon #29 Will Shipley #28 Lew Nichols #37 Keilan Robinson #35 ShunDerrick Powell (undrafted rookie) #39 Montrell Johnson Jr. (undrafted rookie) #34 Barkley earned NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors from the Associated Press and finished as a finalist for Most Valuable Player in his debut with the Eagles. Philadelphia signed former Packers running back A.J. Dillon to a one-year deal. Dillon sat out 2024 but offers a physical contrast to Barkley's elite athleticism. Will Shipley continues to improve, and he'll be the third running back. Keilan Robinson appeared in six games in his rookie season, seeing most of his action on special teams. Philadelphia added two undrafted rookies in Montrell Johnson Jr. (Florida) and ShunDerrick Powell (Central Arkansas). Johnson, a 5-foot-11-inch, 216-pound running back, wrapped up an impressive college career with over 3,000 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns. Known for his powerful running style, big-play ability, and reliable hands out of the backfield, Johnson became a solid running back for the Gators after transferring from Louisiana. A former Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and an East-West Shrine Bowl participant, Johnson made an impact everywhere he played. Powell rushed for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career with 42 total touchdowns. He had eight 100-yard games in 2024. The two-time FCS All-American is a three-down running back and potential special-teams standout. FB -1 Ben VanSumeren #43 The former Michigan State linebacker is a special-teams standout who will transition full-time to the fullback position. WR --12 A.J. Brown #11 Elijah Cooks #86 Jahan Dotson #2 Danny Gray #80 Terrace Marshall Jr. #46 Ainias Smith #82 DeVonta Smith #6 Johnny Wilson #89 Avery Williams #18 Darius Cooper (undrafted rookie) #42 Taylor Morin (undrafted rookie) #45 Giles Jackson (Tryout) #41 A.J. Brown led the team with 1,079 receiving yards in 2024. He also ranked 1st in receiving average (16.1) (min. 60 catches) and 3rd in receiving yards per game (83.0) (min. 13 games), behind Ja'Marr Chase (100.5) and Justin Jefferson (90.2). DeVonta Smith posted a career-high 8 TDs in the regular season and hauled in a 46-yard TD in Super Bowl LIX. During the run to the Super Bowl, he became the franchise's all-time leader in postseason receiving yards (595). Dotson had his fifth-year option declined after catching 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024, following his acquisition in a trade from Washington. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Terrace Marshall was signed to a one-year deal, offering elite athleticism from the slot. TE --7 Dallas Goedert #88 Grant Calcaterra #81 Kylen Granson #83 Harrison Bryant #85 EJ Jenkins #84 Nick Muse #87 Cameron Latu #49 Dallas Goedert is back on a restructured deal, and it wasn't a rough decision after the veteran (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason. Philadelphia has Grant Calcaterra as the backup after signing Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant. OL --17 Jordan Mailata #68 Landon Dickerson #69 Cam Jurgens #51 Kenyon Green #76 Lane Johnson #65 Tyler Steen #56 Brett Toth #64 Darian Kinnard #72 Laekin Vakalahi -Roster Exempt #67 Kendall Lamm #74 Trevor Keegan #77 Matt Pryor #79 Drew Kendall- Drafted Rookie #66 Myles Hinton-Drafted Rookie #78 Cameron Williams- Drafted Rookie #73 Hollin Pierce- (Undrafted rookie) #63 Marcus Tate-Undrafted rookie) #75 According to PFF, Jordan Mailata (96.9) led the entire NFL in offensive and run-blocking grades (94.9). In addition, Mailata ranked 2nd in the NFL with a 91.7 pass-blocking grade, behind Tristan Wirfs (93.7). The Eagles acquired Kenyon Green from the Texans for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and while he's a former first-round pick, the former Texas A&M star was the 76th highest-graded guard in the NFL out of 77 candidates, according to PFF. Former Alabama offensive tackle and third-round pick Tyler Steen was slightly better, landing at 75th with a 40.7 grade from PFF. There will be competition for this spot, and it's a noticeable downgrade after Mekhi Becton's exit. Lane Johnson ranked 1st among NFL RTs in PFF pass-blocking grade (88.1), pressure percentage (2.2%), and knockdown percentage (0.2%). He allowed zero sacks and 1 QB hit in 451 pass-blocking snaps. The Eagles added more depth in the draft by selecting Drew Kendall, Myles Hinton, and Cameron Williams. DT -- 7 Byron Young #94 Moro Ojomo #97 Gabe Hall #96 Jordan Davis #90 Jalen Carter #98 Thomas Booker #59 Ty Robinson -Drafted Rookie #95 During the regular season, Jalen Carter was 4th among interior DL with an 81.5 PFF pass-rush grade, behind Chris Jones (91.0), Cameron Heyward (87.2), and Jeffery Simmons (81.6) in that category. Davis logged 27 tackles (15 solo), one sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense across four playoff appearances. Davis started every regular-season game for the second year in a row, but he logged 122 fewer defensive snaps and ceded snaps to second-year defensive lineman Moro Ojomo. Davis logged 27 tackles (15 solo), one sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense across four playoff appearances. Ojomo finished the 2024 season with 20 tackles (six solo) in 17 regular-season games. Ojomo saw a significant increase in workload in his second season with the Eagles, playing 370 defensive snaps and 70 special teams snaps while appearing in all 17 of the team's regular-season games. Ojomo will be a starter, following Milton Williams' departure. Philadelphia selected Nebraska's Ty Brown in the fourth round for depth and physicality. Edge Rusher -8 KJ Henry #50 Jalyx Hunt #58 Patrick Johnson #48 Azeez Ojulari #13 Nolan Smith Jr. #3 Josh Uche #0 Ochaun Mathis #45 Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr. -Drafted Rookie #52 Philadelphia created salary cap space and competition with the trade of Bryce Huff to the 49ers for a mid-round pick in 2026. We're predicting that Hunt will get the first shot at replacing Josh Sweat, despite Josh Uche being signed. Hunt finished the 2024 season with 21 total tackles (12 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while adding one pass defended and two forced fumbles over 16 regular-season games. Former Giants pass rusher Azeez Ojulari is another explosive player to watch. Philadelphia drafted All-American pass rusher Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the sixth round. LB -- 7 Zack Baun #53 Nakobe Dean #17 Dallas Gant #57 Jeremiah Trotter Jr. #54 Jihaad Campbell-Drafted Rookie #30 Smael Mondon Jr. -Drafted Rookie #42 Lance Dixon - (undrafted rookie) #41 Baun is a Defensive Player of the Year finalist and All-Pro, while Trotter Jr. should get the first shot at replacing the injured Nakobe Dean. Campbell is the first-round pick, but won't be available until August. Philadelphia selected Smael Mondon Jr. in the fifth round, and he saw first-team snaps during OTAs. CB -- 11 A.J. Woods #39 Quinyon Mitchell #27 Cooper DeJean #33 Tariq Castro-Fields #46 Kelee Ringo #7 Eli Ricks #23 Parry Nickerson #34 Adoree' Jackson #8 Mac McWilliams -- Drafted Rookie #22 Brandon Johnson -(Undrafted rookie) #35 B.J. Mayes - (undrafted rookie) #49 Kelee Ringo should get the first opportunity to replace the departed Darius Slay, while Adoree Jackson has history as a starting cornerback in the NFC East. Mitchell and DeJean are stars and should be even more productive in 2025. Philadelphia drafted Mac McWilliams and signed two undrafted rookies. S -- 7 Lewis Cine #38 Reed Blankenship #32 Andre Sam #31 Tristin McCollum #36 Sydney Brown #21 Andrew Mukuba- (Unsigned Rookie) #24 Maxen Hook -(Undrafted rookie) #37 Specialist --3 Jake Elliott #4 Braden Mann #10 Charley Hughlett #47

The Patriots failed in their first two rebuilds after Tom Brady. Is Mike Vrabel the man to finally make it work?
Related : The Vrabel era, which begins in earnest on Wednesday with the opening of training camp, represents Kraft's third attempt in five years to rebuild the Patriots post-Tom Brady. The first rebuild from 2021-23 began with promise, with rookie quarterback Mac Jones leading the Patriots to a 10-7 record and a spot in the playoffs. But the team crumbled over three years. The Patriots didn't win a playoff game or develop any household names. Accomplished players such as Stephon Gilmore and Jakobi Meyers were jettisoned. Jones proved not to be a franchise quarterback, and Bill Belichick lost his magic touch with game-day decisions and staff hires. It ended with a 4-13 record that cost Belichick his job and was the worst in Kraft's three decades of ownership. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up But the Patriots repeated it last year under Jerod Mayo. The Krafts had told Mayo and his staff that they were committed to a three-year plan Advertisement The Patriots went 4-13 in Jerod Mayo's lone season as head coach. Barry Chin/Globe Staff Kraft sensed it under Mayo and quickly changed course. Now comes Rebuild 3.0, Advertisement 'I want to galvanize our football team. I want to galvanize this building. I want to galvanize our fans,' Vrabel said when hired. 'There's going to be a brand of football that everybody associated with our team or our fans is going to be proud of.' Though Kraft's first two rebuilds went sideways, the third begins with optimism. This time, the Patriots appear to have a real quarterback in Drake Maye, the second-year starter. Maye has all the tools Jones didn't — size, a strong arm, athleticism, and composure — and his play as a rookie was the only positive aspect of the Mayo era. Maye still has a long way to prove himself, but the future looks promising. Mac Jones led the Patriots to a 10-7 record as a rookie but wasn't the long-term answer at quarterback. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff The Patriots also have a talented, experienced coaching staff. Josh McDaniels is back as offensive coordinator, one of the most important moves of the offseason. It's not a coincidence that the Patriots went 10-7 in Jones's rookie year with McDaniels, then fell apart after he left for Las Vegas. McDaniels, who has worked with everyone from Brady to Matt Cassel to Cam Newton to Derek Carr, should be a terrific tutor for Maye. This year, the staff is loaded with experience. Offensive line coach Doug Marrone, passing game coordinator Thomas Brown, and defensive assistant Ben McAdoo have been NFL head coaches. Wide receivers coach Todd Downing has been an offensive coordinator. Gone are the days of Belichick putting Matt Patricia at offensive coordinator and filling the staff with his buddies. And last year's staff, with Mayo and both coordinators learning on the jobs for the first time, simply didn't cut it in today's NFL. Advertisement The roster also looks to be in its best place since the 2021 season, the last time the team made the playoffs. In 2021, they spent the most money in free agency to land players such as Hunter Henry, Matthew Judon, and Kendrick Bourne, and improved from 7-9 to 10-7. This year's Patriots took a similar tack, spending an NFL-high $188 million guaranteed to add star receiver Stefon Diggs, right tackle Morgan Moses, defensive linemen Milton Williams and Harold Landry, linebacker Robert Spillane, and cornerback Carlton Davis. Not all of the moves will work out as planned, but the roster is definitely better. The last reason the Patriots have optimism for 2025 and beyond is the man at the top, Vrabel. Belichick was brilliant but tough to deal with, and he didn't connect with players. Mayo had the cachet of being a former player, but with almost no coaching experience. Vrabel, though, is the combination of both. Vrabel is experienced, authoring a 54-45 record with three playoff appearances in six seasons with the Titans. Vrabel has taken a team to the AFC Championship game, been named NFL Coach of the Year, and won a playoff game in Foxborough against Brady. Vrabel doesn't need any time to get up to speed on being a head coach. Vrabel is also sharp on game days. He exploited a rules loophole to milk the clock in the playoff win over the Patriots. Vrabel also knows how to use analytics to his advantage, such as when the Titans pulled off an improbable 28-27 win over the Dolphins thanks to an unconventional decision to go for 2. Advertisement And Vrabel also is a former player with three Super Bowl rings and a spot in the team's Hall of Fame. He's old — turning 50 on Aug. 14 — but not too old that he still can't jump into practice and grapple with the offensive linemen. There are still plenty of reasons for concern in Foxborough — But Kraft believes Vrabel is the man to make sure that the Patriots' third attempt at a rebuild is finally successful. 'He had a clear and focused strategy of how to get us back to the championship way,' Kraft said, 'that is not only so important to all of us, but also something that I think our fan base really deserves and expects.'

Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis will have season-ending shoulder surgery
Tennessee quarterback Will Levis will have season-ending shoulder surgery, keeping him from competing for playing time in his third season with the Titans. The Titans announced Monday that Levis made his decision after consulting with doctors and his representatives. The Titans report Tuesday for training camp. 'We support his decision to focus on his long-term health,' the Titans said in a statement. 'He approached the offseason with professionalism and showed clear growth as a leader. We remain confident in his full recovery.' Will Levis to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. Story: Tennessee, which wrapped up its minicamp June 12, doesn't open the preseason until August 9 at Tampa Bay with the regular-season opener September 7 at Denver. Levis' surgery is scheduled for July 29. The Titans used the No. 1 overall pick on quarterback Cam Ward in April after Levis struggled mightily starting 12 games in 2024. He threw for 2,091 yards, but he had 13 TD passes with 12 interceptions. He was sacked 41 times as Tennessee went 3-14 to land the top draft pick. Tennessee also added veteran quarterbacks Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle this offseason. Levis was the 33rd overall pick in 2023 when Tennessee's previous general manager Ran Carthon traded up to select the quarterback out of Kentucky. Carthon lasted just two seasons before being fired in January. The quarterback started 12 games in 2024 after spraining the AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder September 30 against Miami while diving for a first down. Tennessee had a bye, then Levis played against Indianapolis in a home loss by three points after a late-game interception. Levis admitted after the game his shoulder played a part in that late pick. He was sidelined the next three games before returning. After the Titans took Ward in the draft, coach Brian Callahan rotated quarterbacks during the offseason program with no starter announced, which he said he planned to continue into training camp. Still, Ward is expected to be the starter when the Titans open the regular season. That seemed to leave the competition for the No. 2 position wide open for Levis, who took part throughout the team's offseason program. He told reporters in June he felt more comfortable in his second season in Callahan's offense and was looking forward to training camp. 'I feel like I'm starting to get to that point as a quarterback, and it's just cool to feel that and see it and show everyone else here,' Levis said during minicamp. The Titans announced late Monday afternoon the last of their nine draft picks signed his rookie contract. Linebacker Oluwafemi Oladejo was the 52nd selection overall in the second round. He started 27 of 46 games, switching to edge rusher last year season when he had 4.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss at UCLA.
