Raiders lose Lonnie Johnson to broken fibula
Johnson has a broken fibula and will get an MRI to determine whether he has further damage, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
The injury happened at the Raiders' mock game practice at Allegiant Stadium, which was conducted at a somewhat higher intensity than a typical training camp practice. Johnson and Maxx Crosby collided while attempting to tackle running back Raheem Mostert, and Johnson was in obvious immediate pain.
Raiders coach Pete Carroll referred to Johnson's injury as 'significant.'
Johnson signed with the Raiders at the start of free agency after playing last season with the Panthers. He was expected to make the roster to provide depth in the secondary and contribute on special teams.

Report: Patriots CB Marcellas Dial suffers torn ACL
New England Patriots' second-year cornerback Marcellas Dial has torn the ACL in his left knee and likely will miss the entire season, ESPN reported on Tuesday. Dial suffered the injury Monday during practice and was carted off the field. A sixth-round pick out of South Carolina in 2024, the 24-year-old Dial played in all 17 games as a rookie. He made his lone start in the final week of the season and posted five tackles. Otherwise, Dial was a key member of the Patriots' special teams -- making seven of his 12 tackles on kick coverage. Dial was regarded as a backup to starting cornerbacks Carlton Davis III and Christian Gonzalez. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

UFC champ Dricus Du Plessis reveals best opponent he's faced: 'One hell of a fight'
UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis has fought some tough competition throughout his tenure with the promotion, but one opponent especially stands out to him. Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) endured two hard-fought battles with Sean Strickland, but it was his recent title defense against Israel Adesanya at UFC 305 that hit different. Du Plessis submitted Adesanya in Round 4 after a back-and-forth battle. "My toughest opponent to date, well that's a very open-ended question because there were fights that were the hardest for me," Du Plessis said in an interview with Betway South Africa. "I have to say probably Adesanya was the best guy I faced in his specific area, probably the fight I was most nervous for just in terms of how good he is. "He can catch you with anything, anytime. All the time I spent looking up to him and studying him because he was the benchmark. Knowing what he's capable of, I think he's the best guy I've faced and obviously if you watch that fight, it was one hell of a fight. It was a tough night at the office for both of us." Du Plessis will look to notch his third title defense when he takes on Khamzat Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in the UFC 319 headliner on Aug. 16 at United Center in Chicago (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). The South African champ has finished all but two opponents in his career. "When you go on pure toughness, you have to go with either Brad Tavares or Sean Strickland," Du Plessis continued. "Just the amount of damage they were able to take and just keep going."
