Cameron McAdoo will be a race day decision with torn ACL
McAdoo was stable during Press Day, but riding only a portion of the track at less than 100 percent will not put the same kind of pressure on his knee as Saturday. McAdoo missed the final races of the 2025 250 East division last year due to injury and all of the Pro Motocross outdoor season, so he does not want to run the risk of being out for the full 2025 campaign.
Without the ACL to stabilize his knee, the risk is that any unexpected impact will result in a full dislocation. McAdoo is betting that he will be able to keep his foot on the pegs through the full program.

Cardinals injury update: BJ Ojulari, Bilal Nichols, Walter Nolen begin camp on PUP
Three front-seven defenders for the Cardinals will start out training camp on the sideline recovering from injuries. When Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon addressed the media prior to the team's first training camp practice Wednesday, the message wasn't a positive one. Gannon revealed that defensive linemen Bilal Nichols and Walter Nolen III, along with outside linebacker BJ Ojulari, would not be on the field. There was no surprise regarding Nichols and Ojulari, who suffered injuries in 2024 and didn't do much in offseason workouts. The latter suffered a torn ACL early in training camp, while Nichols was sidelined because of a neck injury that limited his season to six games and five starts. He was placed on injured reserve Oct. 15. Nolen, the 16th overall choice in the first round of this year's draft, is sidelined by a calf injury. Gannon said that was a 'new one that popped up. Hurt his calf training, so he's gonna miss some time.' When the injury occurred wasn't revealed, but the Cardinals haven't been on the field since the end of minicamp in mid-June, but it apparently happened during a team activity because he was placed on active/physically unable to perform (PUP) instead of active/non-football injury (NFI). Nichols and Ojulari were also placed on active/PUP. Players with that designation failed their physicals, but count on the active roster. They can pass at any time up to the cutdown to 53 players and then begin practicing. At the cutdown, players with that designation must either remain on the roster or be placed on reserve, which puts them out for at least the first four games of the season. When asked about the frustration the players are experiencing, Gannon said, 'They know it's part of the game. Bilal and BJ got hurt playing football. Walter gets hurt doing the right things, training. It happens. He's recovering, rehabbing and he'll get out there when he needs to get out there. You just control the controllables.' While all three players will miss some time, there was no specific timeframe revealed. 'All three of them are doing all they can to get back on the field,' Gannon added. 'They're all different. I don't like to compare injuries. They're obviously different people.' Might any of the injuries extend into the regular season? 'I don't know that. I really don't,' Gannon said. 'We'll see how it goes. They wanna be out there with their teammates and practice and we need all three, but when they're healthy they'll play.' Asked whether not being ready for the start of camp is a setback for Ojulari after the expectations were high last summer before his injury, Gannon said, 'Reps are learning experiences, so he missed a year of reps, of game reps. And I really liked where he was trending. But when he gets back, he'll pick up where he left off and every day will be a learning experience for him.'

Treylon Burks hopes to stay healthy to show "who I know I am"
Former Titans General Manager Jon Robinson traded Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles before drafting Treylon Burks with the 18th overall pick in 2022. Brown has 261 receptions for 4,031 yards and 25 touchdowns, a Super Bowl and two Pro Bowls in the three seasons since. Burks has 53 receptions for 699 yards and one receiving touchdown in 27 games in his career. He had his fifth-year option declined, so he heads into the final season on his contract returning from an ACL injury and fighting for a roster spot. 'The last three years I would say my injuries have limited me and kept me from being who I know I am,' Burks said Wednesday, via Terry McCormick of 'I just think with me being in shape, being healthy, doing the right things right, and just making sure I'm staying on top of the little things. I just feel like I'm in a good place. God has brought me from the lowest to the highs, from the lowest to the highs. I'm blessed. I think [God] and the people that have been helping me. I'm just excited to see what plan [God] has for me.' General Manager Mike Borgonzi, the team's third G.M. since Burks was drafted, said Monday that Burks was in good shape after being cleared for camp. Burks has accepted the challenge awaiting him. 'I'm a competitor. If you're a competitor, you know you can do better,' Burks said. 'You can be better, so you expect more out of yourself. I wouldn't say I got down. I was just pissed at myself because I wasn't where I wanted to be. Things happen. It's part of the process. It's just how you come out of that whole situation, but as long as you're yourself, everything will be all right.'

Vikings' Jordan Addison waits for potential NFL suspension after drunken driving plea deal
Associated Press EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Jordan Addison's off-the-field trouble, the Minnesota Vikings believe, is fully behind him. There is one more pressing matter to resolve, leaving the team and the third-year wide receiver to wait on potential punishment from the NFL as training camp unfolds. After Addison avoided a trial on a drunken driving case in California by pleading no contest to a lesser charge last week, the adjudication paved the way for the league to issue discipline. NFL policy on substances of abuse calls for a three-game suspension for a first offense of an alcohol-related violation of the law. Though Addison resolved the citation from 2024 with a 'wet reckless' misdemeanor that comes with fewer penalties and does not count as a DUI conviction on his driving record, a no-contest plea bargain doesn't exclude players from league suspensions. 'Everything is out of my control right now, so whatever the league has got for me, I'll be prepared with whatever decision they make,' Addison said Wednesday, before the team's first full practice of training camp. Addison had to pay a fine and complete two online courses, with the expectation his probation will be shortened from 12 to six months. 'Just to get it all behind me and just get on with the season,' he said, when asked why he opted for the plea bargain. As for his takeaway from the legal process, which began before his rookie year with a citation in Minnesota for excessive speeding? 'Just be smart,' Addison said. 'Make smart decisions. That's pretty much all.' Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said the team has been in contact with the NFL about the case but had no indication about when to expect a decision. 'They're obviously going through their process, and we'll know as soon as they know,' Adofo-Mensah said. 'Obviously, when that originally happened, we knew that it was a possibility, but really you're talking about team building in general. You might not have players on the field for various reasons, and you've always got to be ready with depth, players you're excited about taking the field and taking those opportunities, and this is no different.' Those players include Jalen Nailor, Tai Felton and Rondale Moore. Nailor had a breakout season in 2024, with 28 catches for 414 yards and six touchdowns after his first two years in the league were hampered by injuries. Felton was the team's third-round draft pick out of Maryland. Moore signed as a bargain free agent after missing last season with Atlanta with a torn ACL. He played his first three years in the league for Arizona. Addison's skills likely won't be replaced by any of those role players, however, should he be absent for the beginning of the season. With 133 catches for 1,786 yards and 19 touchdowns in two years, the 2023 first-round draft pick has flourished on the field as the sidekick in a dangerous duo with two-time All-Pro Justin Jefferson, who invited Addison earlier in the offseason to work out with him. 'Just talking to him and letting him know that, 'Hey, you need to be more vocal,'' Jefferson said during spring practice. 'He has that motivation and he's a great player as well, so people are going to listen to him as he speaks. Just trying to get him out of that shyness phase, or just being closed off and to himself, but I think he is getting better with that.' ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3
