Veteran Reggie Stubblefield to make first CFL start in over a year for Ticats
HAMILTON - It's been a long road back for Reggie Stubblefield. Stubblefield will make his Hamilton debut Saturday night when the Tiger-Cats (2-2) host the Ottawa Redblacks (1-4). The 26-year-old American will start at strongside linebacker in his first CFL game since suffering a season-ending torn anterior cruciate ligament in the Montreal Alouettes 2024 opener — a span of 400 days. And the five-foot-11, 192-pound Stubblefield was more than aware of exactly how many days he'd been out. 'Yes sir, without a doubt,' he said. A subdued Stubblefield was the model of calm Friday but said his enthusiasm about being back on the field will shine through Saturday. 'Many people have been asking me that, how I'm feeling,' Stubblefield said. 'I'm telling them I'm keeping it all bottled in, focus on what I have to do to lead up to the game. 'Once kickoff starts, it will all show.' Stubblefield's long rehab didn't deter Hamilton, which signed the Lubbock, Texas native to a three-year deal in free agency. Stubblefield had 42 tackles, four special-teams tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble in 14 regular-season games with Montreal (2023-24). He helped Montreal win the '23 Grey Cup and was named the club's top rookie. He made 13 starts and registered 38 tackles, three special-teams tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble. 'I'm not sure about what to expect,' said Hamilton head coach Scott Milanovich. 'But I expect him to play really hard, I expect him to bring some juice.' Stubblefield said patience was key to his rehab, understanding that coming back from the injury was a process. But patience has been the cornerstone of Stubblefield's football tenure. He began his college career at Prairie View A&M (2016-2020) before transferring to Kansas State (2021). He started six of the 12 games he played there in his final year of eligibility. Stubblefield was selected by the DC Defenders in the '23 XFL draft but was released by the club. Stubblefield signed with Montreal in March 2023 and was among the Alouettes final cuts, only to be re-signed to the practice roster following injuries to the Als' secondary. Stubblefield made his CFL debut July 1, 2023, versus Winnipeg. 'When I think about patience I just think about my football journey,' Stubblefield said. 'Even understanding my CFL journey, being cut, coming back (to the) practice squad and then a Grey Cup champion. 'The injury taught me about patience, taking one thing a day at a time, focusing on where your feet are at right now and then when you have the moment, those are the moments you want.' But Stubblefield also worked at being a good teammate, sometimes even holding the downs box or chains when the starting offence and defence practised together. 'There's just something about him, he wants to be great,' Milanovich said. 'There's an inner drive there that you can't ignore. 'I remember back in training camp watching him run 40s down the sideline when he wasn't even practising. He cares, he cares about football, he loves it, I think he loves the locker room. I think his energy is going to be a good thing for us.' American Jordan Murray also comes off the injured list to start at left tackle for Hamilton. Canadian Johnny Augustine starts at running back with incumbent Greg Bell (ribs) out. For Ottawa, Canadian Zack Pelehos (foot) returns to start at right tackle in place of American Parker Moorer (practice roster). Ayinde Eley comes off the practice roster to start at weakside linebacker in place of Frankie Griffin (knee). Stubblefield and Co, face an Ottawa offence led by quarterback Dru Brown, who's in his second season with the club. Brown has thrown for 300 or more yards eight times with the Redblacks and surpassed 400 yards on four occasions. Brown completed 31-of-43 passes for 316 yards and two TDs in last week's 39-33 road loss to Edmonton. In two starts this season, Brown is 65-of-84 passing (77.4 per cent) for 729 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. Hamilton has won 11 of the last 13 meetings between the two clubs, including all six played at Hamilton Stadium. Hamilton's offence has also scored eight TDs in its last nine trips to the redzone. Last week, Bo Levi Mitchell threw five TD passes — three to Kenny Lawler — in the Ticats' 51-38 win over the Toronto Argonauts. Mitchell finished 19-of-24 passing for 332 yards while Lawler registered six catches for 207 yards. Isaiah Wooden Sr., accumulated 264 total return yards (four punts for 98 yards, five kickoffs for 166 yards — including 86-yard TD). The two teams meet again in Ottawa on July 20.

‘I missed two days of my medication': Senator releases statement on Fayetteville traffic stop
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Arkansas State Senator Gary Stubblefield has released a statement following a traffic stop in Fayetteville on April 26. Sen. Stubblefield, a Republican from Branch, Arkansas, has been an Arkansas Senator since 2013. Stubblefield was stopped in Fayetteville near the Washington County Jail when returning from a reunion, according to body cam footage obtained by KNWA/FOX24. The stop was initiated by Officer Harrison Hudspeth of the Fayetteville Police Department just after 11 a.m. on Saturday. In conversation with another officer, Hudspeth cites improper lane usage and driving below the speed limit as the reason for the stop. Hudspeth can be heard on body cam footage discussing the possibility of intoxication, but tells another officer he did not detect the smell of alcohol. The interaction between Hudspeth and Stubblefield was recorded on FPD's body camera system. Hudspeth can be heard asking Stubblefield if he had anything to drink that morning, to which the Senator responded, 'I don't drink… I do not drink' In the video, Stubblefield can be seen complying with all field sobriety tests requested by the officer, while also reassuring officers that he had not had any alcohol in years. Later, officers ask Stubblefield about his medical history, including what medications he takes as well as if he has ever had issues with his blood sugar levels. Ofc. Hudspeth then offers Stubblefield the option to find a safe ride back to Branch, before deciding to drive him back to his hotel, until his wife could come to Fayetteville to drive him home. A phone call between Hudspeth and Stubblefield's wife, Kathi, is then recorded on the body camera. Hudspeth explains to Kathi Stubblefield that he believes her husband was experiencing a medical issue. Monday, Sen. Stubblefield posted a statement to his Facebook page in regard to the incident, stating, 'I would like to clarify the actual events. I was at a reunion with fellow Razorbacks. I was on my way home Saturday morning when I was pulled over by a police officer for getting too close to the yellow line. After a discussion of why I was pulled over, they realized I was not drinking or intoxicated. I offered to take a sobriety test to prove I was not drinking. They then said there was no need for it.' Arkansas Sen. Bryan King sends letter to governor asking for prison plan changes In the statement, Stubblefield then goes on to say that the stop was a result of a medical issue. 'I then explained to them I am on a medication and have been for over a year for some health issues l've been dealing with for several years. I missed two days of my medication, and it hindered me,' Sen. Stubblefield stated. He then states that things returned back to normal once he returned home. 'They offered to take me back to the hotel where I stayed. They then called my wife and she and my daughter picked me up at the hotel. There were no issues, and the policemen were very kind, considerate, and accommodating, as were the hotel staff. Within a day of being on my medication, everything was back to normal and has been since,' Stubblefield stated. He completes his statement with a note about the Franklin County Prison project, which he has been actively outspoken against. 'I find it interesting and not a coincidence that the timing of this incident is at the time we are fighting a nasty battle over a prison being put in my district. A fight that won't end here. This will not stop me! Period. Thank you to all who have shown support, encouragement, and understanding,' Sen. Stubblefield stated. KNWA/FOX24 reached out to Fayetteville PD for a statement on the incident and is waiting to hear back. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Why Avantor, Inc. (AVTR) Crashed on Monday
We recently published an article titled . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Avantor, Inc. (NYSE:AVTR) stands against the other stocks. A lackluster trading persisted on the stock market on Monday, with Wall Street's major indices finishing mixed, as investors continued to digest and reposition portfolios ahead of more corporate earnings results. Among the bellwether indices, only the Nasdaq finished in the red, dropping 0.10 percent. In contrast, the Dow Jones grew by 0.28 percent, and the S&P 500 inched up by 0.06 percent.

A team of scientists working together to develop a new lab product or process. Avantor, Inc. (NYSE:AVTR) dropped its share prices by 3.40 percent on Monday to end at $12.49 each as investors soured on its chief executive's resignation amid the dismal earnings performance and lower outlook for the year.

Stubblefield said that Avantor, Inc. (NYSE:AVTR) updated its full-year 2025 outlook "to reflect ongoing funding and policy-related headwinds,' with organic revenues now pegged to grow or drop by 1 percent year-on-year as compared with the 1 to 3 percent growth expectations previously. Adjusted EBITDA, meanwhile, is anticipated to increase by 17.5 percent to 18 percent, a reduction from the 18 to 19 percent earlier projected.
