Florida QB DJ Lagway practices for the 1st time in camp while recovering from a calf injury

Washington Post17 hours ago
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway practiced Saturday for the first time since camp opened, a sign of progress for the highly touted and oft-injured sophomore.
Lagway is dealing with a strained calf and was expected to take limited practice reps. He wore a sleeve on his left leg, the same one that caused him to miss a game and a half last season. He strained a hamstring against rival Georgia and missed the following week's game at Texas.

Terry McLaurin didn't appear unhappy when greeting Commanders' leadership

For the first time in his six seasons (this will be his seventh), Terry McLaurin is at odds with the Washington Commanders. It's unusual because McLaurin is the consummate pro, the good guy, outstanding leader and terrific player. However, that's what happens when money is involved. McLaurin feels as if he should be one of the NFL's highest-paid receivers, likely seeing the deal DK Metcalf signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with an average annual value of $33 million. McLaurin sees that deal and, like everyone else, realizes he's been the better player. On the other hand, Washington sees a player who will soon turn 30 (September) and likely views him at around $26 million, similar to the deal that Mike Evans signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans is a future Hall of Famer, but is about to enter his 12th NFL season. Who is right? Only time will tell, but both have strong cases. In actuality, no one really knows who is asking for what, yet the two sides remain far apart, with McLaurin requesting a trade on Thursday. On Saturday, McLaurin again came onto the practice field, signing autographs for fans, but he was also seen greeting someone familiar. Check it out: Yes, that's McLaurin greeting Washington owner Josh Harris with a handshake and a hug after embracing Jayden Daniels' mother, Regina. ESPN's John Keim has a longer video of the meeting, where McLaurin shares a friendly conversation with team president Mark Clouse. These brief encounters may mean nothing, but there didn't appear to be any tension when McLaurin spoke to Harris or Clouse. Also, did you notice the back of McLaurin's shirt? Team. Despite this, there still appears to be no movement on a new deal between the two parties.

Brian Daboll, Giants' coaching staff disrespected in ESPN ranking

It's no secret that the 2025 NFL season is something of a 'make or break' year for New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Once a rising star as the offensive coordinator for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, the Giants hired Daboll as head coach and saw some success right away. He guided New York to a 9-7 record, a return to the playoffs, and got quarterback Daniel Jones to look the best he ever has. Since then, it's been all downhill for Daboll and the Giants, winning just nine total games across two seasons while Daniel Jones is now the likely backup quarterback in Indianapolis. As the NFL is a 'what have you done for me lately' league, it should come as no surprise that Daboll and his coaching staff fared poorly in a recent ranking of NFL coaching staffs. Ben Solak, an analyst for ESPN, ranked each team's coaching staff heading into the 2025 NFL season and placed the New York Giants in dead last, a drop of 8 spots from last year. Regarding Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, Solak writes, 'It's not much to hang a hat on, but if and when we see Jaxson Dart this season at quarterback, I expect the team to have some smart, easy ways to get him into a rhythm and involved in the running game. I can at least see the visions in New York, even if the plane often struggles to get off the ground.' Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen earned a slightly rosier assessment, at least. 'I have a warmer appreciation for Bowen, who is always willing to get creative with alignment and coverages to solve personnel problems on the back end. The 2024 Giants' defense was definitely poor, but they have overhauled the secondary and added to the pass rush this offseason, so I'm happy reserving a stronger judgment for Year 2.' As aforementioned, it should surprise no one that the Giants' coaching staff is ranked among the league's worst. What is rather surprising was seeing them rank at dead last, behind even some first-time head coaches with inexperienced staffs, like the Jacksonville Jaguars. To be fair, the Jaguars only ranked one spot higher than New York, but even that feels like a major disservice to Daboll's potential. At least Daboll has a playoff appearance to his name. Hopefully, the arm of Russell Wilson, who is the unquestioned starting QB in 2025, will guide New York to a strong 2025 season and we'll see a more positive evaluation in next year's rankings.

Inter Miami: bad news, Lionel Messi injured!

Lionel Messi Last night, Lionel Messi left his Inter Miami teammates early during the Leagues Cup clash against Necaxa. The Argentine star picked up an injury. Messi was forced off during his side's qualification match against Mexican club Necaxa in the Leagues Cup. Lionel Messi had to leave the pitch after a collision with Necaxa defender Alexis Pena. The former PSG player received treatment on his right thigh before being substituted after just 11 minutes of play. "He felt some discomfort. But we won't know the extent of his injury until tomorrow (Sunday). There's definitely something, but maybe it's not too serious because he wasn't in real pain. Still, he felt something," said Miami head coach Javier Mascherano. It's worth noting that Inter Miami came out on top. They claimed a 5-4 victory in the penalty shootout (2-2 after regular time).
