Report: RB Nyheim Hines to make NFL return with Chargers
July 22 - Running back Nyheim Hines, who last played in the NFL in 2022 before being sidelined by a knee injury, reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday following a tryout with the team, ESPN reported. Hines was a member of the Buffalo Bills when he tore his left ACL in a jet-ski accident in July 2023. He spent 2024 with the Cleveland Browns but never saw the field as he continued to rehab his injury. The Browns released him in February. Hines, 28, was a fourth-round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 and spent four-plus years with the team before he was traded to the Bills at the 2022 deadline. In 81 career games (17 starts), he has logged 306 carries for 1,202 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, and he has caught 240 passes for 1,778 yards and eight scores. The Chargers drafted Omarion Hampton in the first round (22nd overall) of last April's draft, and they signed longtime Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris in the offseason. Harris suffered an eye injury in a Fourth of July fireworks accident but is expected to be ready for the season. --Field Level Media

Dodgers' Max Muncy Opens up About His Knee Injury
Dodgers' Max Muncy Opens up About His Knee Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy left the Dodgers' game against the Washington Nationals on July 2 after a collision at third base and has since been placed on the injured list. Advertisement However, after the tests came back, Muncy is extremely thankful for the results, even though he will miss some time. The injury occurred on a play where Nationals outfielder Michael A. Taylor attempted to steal third. Muncy made an acrobatic play to leap and catch the throw to third and tag Taylor for the out. However, Taylor's head collided with Muncy's knee, causing it to bend in an awkward position, and Muncy went down hard. Muncy was on the ground for a while before being helped off the field, and feared he had torn something in his knee. Luckily, after running tests, the Dodgers announced it was a left knee bruise. Advertisement "I was on crutches so, I mean, obviously it was pretty bad. It's one of those things where you get anything around your knee like that - you automatically fear the worst, especially with that kind of impact - my whole leg kind of went numb immediately, so obviously I thought something bad had happened," Muncy said on Foul Territory. But, we went down underneath, did x-rays immediately. They did the ACL test, and all that stuff where they're yanking on your knee, and obviously I didn't feel great, but it didn't feel as bad as what I thought it would have felt if I had torn something. "So I started feeling optimistic immediately - didn't get the scans til the next day, but, yeah, it was just kind of a crappy situation that somehow miraculously nothing bad happened out of that, except for just a bruise. " While it was a scary moment at Dodger Stadium, it quickly got better. The next batter after Muncy left the game ended up being Clayton Kershaw's 3,000th strikeout, and for Muncy, the tests showed no tears and just a bone bruise. Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy runs the A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports It was a frightening moment for the 10-year veteran, but he's just thankful he'll be able to play again this season. The Dodgers expect to be without Muncy for six weeks while his left leg heals. Advertisement "It's surprisingly good. It's going to be a slow process, but we avoided the major stuff so I'm very thankful about that," Muncy said. "Like I said the other day, I get to come back and play baseball this year, so to me that's the biggest thing." Muncy's six-week time frame would bring him back in mid-to-late August to finish up the regular season before the Dodgers get set for the postseason. Despite numerous injuries, the Dodgers still lead the NL West and have the best record in the National League. They'll be without Muncy for some time, but he should be back for another postseason run.

Source: Does Paige Bueckers' lingering knee injury have a solution?
The post Source: Does Paige Bueckers' lingering knee injury have a solution? appeared first on ClutchPoints. Knee injuries are unfortunately quite common in the basketball world. Serious knee injuries occur far too often. As a result, fans were fearfully considering the worst possible scenario when it was announced that Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers was going to miss last Saturday's game against the Washington Mystics due to a knee issue. The fear declined after head coach Chris Koclanes revealed that Bueckers' absence was a 'precautionary' move, as the game represented the second of a back-to-back. Advertisement Bueckers admitted on Wednesday after practice that she has dealt with patellar tendinitis since high school, however. The Wings rookie practiced on Wednesday and is expected to be available for Thursday's game. With that being said, Bueckers is used to dealing with knee pain. 'I've been dealing with patellar tendinitis since I was in high school,' Bueckers told reporters Wednesday. 'In a sense, you're managing it at all times. There's no day where it probably doesn't hurt. But to be on the second night of a back-to-back where I just played 38 minutes, it usually never feels great the day after the game. But we usually either have a off day or a light practice day to where I can recover… Assuming I would either have to play a lot of minutes or be managed, we thought it was the smart thing to do to rest and recover.' Is this simply an issue that Paige Bueckers will have to deal with for the rest of her career? Is there a solution? Paige Bueckers' lingering knee injury David Butler II-Imagn Images Following Wednesday's practice, a trusted source — who is a doctor — discussed the situation with ClutchPoints and provided potential remedies. The source's analysis provides important insight into the situation. Advertisement 'Patellar tendonitis that's chronic becomes patellar tendinosis,' the source told ClutchPoints. 'Which means it's more challenging to get rid of because the tendon changes structurally. Usually it's a combination of load management (reduction in time playing the sport) and progressive tendon loading to strengthen it. In addition, there's usually biomechanical issues above and below (there could be ankle stiffness, glute weakness, poor pelvic control, poor abdominal control, etc.) that are contributing. In addition, there can be issues on the left side that could be forcing someone to overuse the right side so making sure the left hip/knee/ankle are doing their job.' The source mentioned 'load management' and 'progressive tendon loading' as possible solutions. Load management, as mentioned, is simply playing less games or less minutes in games. Progressive tendon loading is a strategy that slowly increases the weight placed on the tendon during workouts and exercises. The source also noted that 'injections can help' as well. Is there a serious level of concern? After all, patellar tendinitis is fairly common in athletes. Advertisement 'It's a self limiting injury meaning that if it ends up hurting too much, you'll stop playing in that moment,' the source added. 'It can become chronic where it just lingers forever unless you address the issues above.' No reason to panic As long as Paige Bueckers continues to receive proper treatment — she is an athlete in the WNBA so that shouldn't be an issue — she will likely be able to have a long and successful career in the league despite the aforementioned injury concern. There is no reason to panic. With that being said, Bueckers is averaging 35.6 minutes per outing and did not receive much rest between the end of the college basketball season and WNBA training camp.. It would not be surprising to see her minutes begin to decrease as the season continues to move forward. The Wings know she is a franchise superstar, and they want to ensure that she will have a healthy career in the WNBA. There is no reason to risk further injury.

Germany captain Gwinn to miss rest of Euro 2025 with injury
Giulia Gwinn was forced to leave the field in Germany's opening match after suffering an injury to her left knee (SEBASTIEN BOZON) Germany captain Giulia Gwinn will miss the rest of Euro 2025 after suffering a knee injury during her team's opening win against Poland, the German football federation (DFB) announced on Saturday. "The captain of the German women's national team suffered an ligament injury in her left knee in the team's opening match against Poland on Friday," said the DFB in a statement on their website. Advertisement "She (Gwinn) is expected to be out for several weeks." The full-back left the pitch in St Gallen after 40 minutes following a defensive challenge against Poland's Ewa Pajor. She initially tried to retake the field before leaving in tears, embraced by team-mate Lea Schueller -- one of two second-half goalscorers for the Euro 2022 runners-up as they won 2-0. Gwinn, 26, has already ruptured cruciate ligaments in both knees, with the second ACL injury causing her to miss the World Cup two years ago. Germany, bronze medallists at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, are one of the favourites for the European Championship, alongside holders England and world champions Spain. cfe/nf/lp
