Jordon Smith set to return in Seattle Supercross
Smith was injured in a crash in the Arlington, Texas, Triple Crown race when he crashed in the whoops, breaking four ribs, puncturing a lung, and suffering a laceration to his spleen.
The calendar worked in his favor. Since the series left Arlington four rounds ago, the 250 East riders have hosted two standalone rounds. There has also been an off-week in the schedule, which means Smith missed only the East / West Showdown in Indianapolis, Indiana.

"We are back," Smith posted on social media. "Been working hard to get healed and back to race shape in the past 4 weeks. Thanks to all the doctors that had a part in helping me get back on the track, and my whole crew back at home with a special thanks to [Katie Smith] for taking care of Blair and [me]! See you guys in Seattle!"
Smith began the season strong with back-to-back podiums in Anaheim 1 and San Diego. He finished fourth in Anaheim 2 and gave Triumph its first victory in his fourth race with the team. Finishing last in the Arlington Triple Crown and missing one round dropped Smith to fifth in the championship standings, 44 points behind leader Haiden Deegan.

WATCH: Why PFF ranks Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith as top returning CFB player
I know it. You know it. Your twice-removed cousin from your long-lost brother (not sure that's a thing) knows it. Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith is the best player in college football entering 2025. Pro Football Focus also agrees when it ranked the rising sophomore atop its list of top 50 college football players this offseason. And while these things are somewhat subjective, despite stats that are available because of the level of competition, eye-test, etc., it's hard to argue there's a better football player coming to a stadium near you this fall. But what goes into such a ranking? Well, we're glad you asked because the fine folks at PFF decided to put their name on the line and provide some commentary on what makes Smith the best player in college football, and it's hard for even Michigan fans to argue against. "Jeremiah Smith now joins Trevor Lawrence (former Clemson quarterback) as the only true sophomores in PFF history that have entered the year as the No. 1 player in the PFF College 50," said PFF. "If he was drafted in this past draft -- if he was eligible -- he would have gone no lower than No. 4. You talk about living up to the hype, you're talking about on the level of Julio Jones, and A.J. Green, and Calvin Johnson, and guys who went in the top five. The one-handed catches, the body control. I think my favorite thing actually -- he dropped his first career target in Week 1 against Akron -- a screen that he probably would have housed had he caught it. Didn't drop another ball the rest of the season." Who would have thought that the Ohio State program would go from one so-called generational wide receiver with Marvin Harrison Jr. to another when Jeremiah Smith came along, but that's exactly where we are at. I said it with Harrison, and I'll say it with Smith; enjoy the ride because those types of players just don't come around very often. I know it doesn't seem like it with the run that the Buckeyes are on with the wide receiver position, but it's true.

Chiefs beat franchise tag deadline, sign guard Trey Smith to a 4-year, $94M deal, AP source says
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the deadline to sign franchise-tagged guard Trey Smith to a multiyear contract, agreeing to terms Tuesday on a $94 million deal, a person with knowledge of the move told The Associated Press. The four-year contract includes $70 million guaranteed, said the person, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been announced. Smith, 26, now has the highest average salary of any player at his position in the NFL at $23.5 million annually. The Chiefs had until 4 p.m. EDT Tuesday to work out a deal beyond this season after giving Smith the franchise tag in March. Smith and franchised Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins each got a lucrative contract , though the agreements came roughly four months apart. Smith has been a key part of the offensive line protecting two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes since entering the league in 2021 as a sixth-round draft pick out of Tennessee. Smith has started 67 regular-season and 13 playoff games, helping Kansas City win the Super Bowl twice and getting there last season before losing to Philadelphia. ___ AP Pro Football Writer Rob Maaddi contributed to this report. ___ AP NFL:
