Raiders place DT Christian Wilkins on PUP list as he still recovers from broken foot
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The Las Vegas Raiders placed defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, who experienced a significant setback earlier this year in his recovery from a broken foot, on the physically unable to perform list Friday. That means Wilkins will miss at least the beginning of training camp, which opens Wednesday. Because he was placed on the PUP list before practices began, the Raiders can activate Wilkins at any time during camp once medically cleared. Wilkins suffered the season-ending injury in Week 5 last season. He then experienced some sort of setback in his recovery, which caused him to miss all of organized team activities and minicamp. 'It's been a difficult recovery and he's done everything he needs to do,' coach Pete Carroll said in May. 'He's been here every day. He's here early working hard. He's not ready to get back out. We're in the midst of a long, challenging process.' Wilkins, 29, was the Raiders' marquee free-agent signing last year, agreeing to a four-year, $110 million contract with $82.75 million guaranteed. He was expected to bolster a defensive line led by pass rushers Maxx Crosby and Malcolm Koonce after making a career-high nine sacks in 2023 with Miami to go with his elite run-stopping ability. All three linemen, however, suffered season-ending injuries. Wilkins had two sacks and 17 tackles in five games before injuring his foot, which required surgery. He suffered a Jones fracture — a break of the bone that connects the pinkie toe to the base of the foot. ___ AP NFL:

Watford confirm signing of Bayern Munich teenager Nestory Irankunda
Watford have confirmed the signing of teenager Nestory Irankunda on a five-year deal from Bayern Munich. Irankunda, 19, arrived in Munich in the summer of 2024 from Adelaide United and had a contract until 2028 but never appeared for the first team. He made 15 appearances, scoring four times, for Bayern's amateur side in the Regionalliga, the fourth tier of German football, before heading out on loan. Advertisement The winger joined Swiss side Grasshopper Zurich on loan in January and has appeared 21 times since the move, registering one goal and three assists. 'Nestory can be a very special player and we believe he can realise his potential here, with us,' said sporting director Gian Luca Nani in Watford's statement on their website. 'He is exactly the sort of profile Paulo (Pezzolano, the head coach) wanted in a winger.' The Australia international made his international debut in 2024 and has appeared five times, scoring once. 'Nestory has repeatedly shown its great potential with our amateurs and then in Zurich. With his athleticism and his speed, he is made for football in Britain,' said head of Bayern Munich's academy Jochen Sauer in a statement on their website. 'We had very good and trusting talks with Watford and are convinced that he will find the best conditions there to establish himself permanently in European club football. 'We will continue to keep a close eye on him there.' Watford achieved a mid-table result in the Championship last season, finishing 14th.

Arsenal's transfer spree continued with the signing of England forward Noni Madueke from Chelsea on Friday.

Madueke reportedly signed for a fee of 48.5 million pounds ($65 million) on a five-year contract. Madueke is also a part of Thomas Tuchel's England squad and is in contention to play at next year's World Cup if the team qualifies. "Noni is an exciting and powerful young player, with his performances and numbers in recent seasons being of consistently high quality," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said. "At just 23, Noni already brings experience of club and international football, and he knows the Premier League very well." Reporting by The Associated Press.
