Patriots Get Worst Possible News On Injured CB
Patriots Get Worst Possible News On Injured CB originally appeared on The Spun. The New England Patriots suffered a brutal injury blow in training camp. Marcellas Dial Jr. was carted off the field during Monday's practice, and a report confirmed the worst-case scenario. Dial tore his ACL, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. The 24-year-old will presumably miss his entire second season after appearing in all 17 games as a rookie. Dial saw most of his action on special teams, tallying 12 tackles and a forced fumble. New England selected Dial with the No. 180 pick out of South Carolina last year. He played 55 of his 60 defensive snaps in a Week 18 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Losing Dial hurts a Patriots secondary facing more concerns atop the depth chart. Christian Gonzalez remains absent from practice after suffering a reported hamstring injury last week. The second-team All-Pro cornerback is not expected to miss the start of the regular season, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Gonzalez missed all but four games of his rookie season with a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum. The first-round pick returned to anchor New England's defense with 11 pass breakups and two interceptions in 2024. New England bolstered the cornerback position by signing Carlton Davis III to a three-year, $60 million contract. The 28-year-old has missed most of training camp before returning to Monday's walkthrough. Diaz can no longer earn a rotational role in a unit also featuring seventh-round picks Alex Austin, Kobee Minor, and Isaiah Bolden. Nickel cornerback Marcus Jones also returns to Foxborough for his fourth season. The Patriots ranked 23rd in passing defense last season, allowing a 64.9 percent completion rate with just seven interceptions. New England went 4-13 for the second straight season but enters 2025 with higher hopes behind new head coach Mike Vrabel and an upgraded roster welcoming Stefon Diggs, Milton Williams, and Harold Landry III. Vrabel's squad already lost a key contributor before Friday's first preseason game against the Washington Commanders. The Patriots open the regular season by hosting Tom Brady's Las Vegas Raiders in Week Get Worst Possible News On Injured CB first appeared on The Spun on Aug 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

NFL suspends Vikings' Jordan Addison for three games over DUI case
Addison, the 23rd pick of the 2023 draft, has 19 touchdowns and 1,786 receiving yards in his first two seasons to form a dominant duo with two-time All-Pro Justin Jefferson. But he was arrested for excessive speeding the week before training camp of his rookie year, and the drunken driving arrest last offseason came after another dangerous off-the-field decision. Addison was contrite and remorseful upon reporting to training camp last year, praising the Vikings for their support after he said he was in a 'dark place' after the arrest. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Without Addison for the first three games, new starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy will need to lean on depth wide receivers such as Jalen Nailor, rookie Tai Felton, and newcomer Rondale Moore if he's ready to play following his ACL rehabilitation. Tight ends T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver and running back Aaron Jones also figure to be vital options during Addison's absence to help keep defenses from keying more heavily on Jefferson than they already do. Advertisement Addison, who finished his college career at USC after starting at Pittsburgh, matched Odell Beckham Jr. for the fourth-most touchdown receptions in league history by players before their 23rd birthday. Randy Moss (28), Rob Gronkowski (27), and Ja'Marr Chase (22) were the only ones with more. Advertisement
