Jets running back Breece Hall only was able to play in seven games in his rookie season last year due to the torn ACL he suffered in October.
New York coach Robert Saleh recently spoke with ESPN about Hall’s rehabilitation on the injured knee, and his progress sounds promising.
“Breece looks fantastic,” Saleh said.
It’s likely Hall will miss the entirety of training camp while he continues his recovery. However, the Jets are aiming to have the running back ready for Week 1 of the regular season on Sept. 10.
It’s likely Hall could return to an entirely new offense in 2023.

Israel Adesanya first fought Alex Pereira in a kickboxing bout in 2016. Though it was competitive, Pereira won by decision.
Their rematch took place the following year, when Pereira knocked out Adesanya—marking the first and only time that occurred in his kickboxing career.
Pereira defeated Adesanya again last November, this time in the Octagon, taking the middleweight championship and severely denting Adesanya’s aura of invincibility in his first TKO loss.

The Cardinals–Terry McDonough situation is another workplace black eye for the NFL, in an increasingly long string of such cases. And you do have to start here—the jumping-off point for the case is, of course, a dispute between a single employee and his employer, and the damage the employer did to the employee’s career. To that end, when an arbitrator decides on the complaint, they will decide to what extent Arizona damaged McDonough.

The NBA postseason begins Tuesday! Here’s everything you need to know about the 20 teams still fighting for the title.

If it seems as if Shohei Ohtani does something every day that leaves fans speechless, it’s probably because, well, he pretty much does.
The latest example of this came in Sunday afternoon’s Blue Jays–Angels game in Anaheim, Calif., when he crushed one of the most ridiculous home runs of his major league career. 
Ohtani, who is 1-0 on the mound so far this year with 18 strikeouts, swung at a pitch that clearly was a ball inside but somehow blasted over the wall in the left-center field.

The regular season finale in the NBA tends to be a bit wonky just because 80 games are usually enough to sort out the standings; the 82 is just icing on the cake to tie things together nicely.

Welcome to Mock Draft Monday!
With less than three weeks until the Carolina Panthers are officially on the clock, it is time to drill deeper into the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft. Now that free agency is mostly in the rear-view mirror, how have things changed?
In this mock, we take a look at how we believe the first round will play out in just under three weeks. In addition, we have added some picks for teams that currently are not expected to make a selection in the first round.

We’ve heard a lot about the top quarterbacks in the 2023 draft, but these 5 players could also make an impact.
While it is unlikely that the NFL will ever see another story exactly like Brock Purdy’s, a quarterback who was literally the last pick of the draft and then as a rookie leads a team into the NFC Championship game and nearly the Super Bowl if not for an injury, it won’t be the last time that we hear of a late-round steal at the position who takes the league by storm.

When the Baltimore Ravens announced they had landed Odell Beckham Jr. Sunday afternoon it was interesting that they did so before the free agent wide receiver signed a contract.
The Ravens only had the word of a player who had earlier told the New York Jets he was visiting them on Monday and changed course, but the club stepped out and announced it had agreed “in principle” to a contract anyway.
