The Broncos quarterback had been dealing with a knee issue for several years.
Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee this offseason to address a nagging issue that he has dealt with for several years, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. It was a minor scope procedure and he is already working out and throwing. 
He is expected to be good to go for organized team activities and will be at full health for the 2023 season. It’s good news for Wilson, who will look to make a vast improvement next year after a disappointing 2022 campaign.

We have major drama in the rodeo world, and people need answers – PRONTO!
And when that happens, you come to OutKick. That’s always the safest bet when it comes to disputes like these, and one longtime reader did just that late Tuesday night.
And now, after doing a little Big J deep dive, pouring through hundreds of angry comments, and watching the replay – which, you’ll learn, is a pretty big sticking point here – I’m all in. I’m invested.
I’m #TeamBeau.
Beau Cooper penalized and people ain’t happy.

Plus, upset picks, updated national championship odds and NFL free agency fantasy reactions.

Catch up with everything you might have missed and prepare for what’s coming down the pike over the next few days.

Ole Miss baseball can mash. The Rebels are defending their national title in 2023 with a roster that looks very different from a year ago, but cannot be stopped when everything is clicking.
Mike Bianco’s team is 15-6 thus far into the year, with a series win over Maryland and a win over Southern Miss, but hit a slump last week with a loss to Jacksonville State and series sweep on the road at Vanderbilt. It was a rough four-game stretch that saw Ole Miss get out-scored 10-37.
The Rebels bounced back in a big way Tuesday. A bad Arkansas Pine Bluff team rolled into Oxford and got rocked.

Virginia running back Mike Hollins believes he’s very lucky to be playing football again.
Hollins was shot and wounded during a rampage on UVA’s campus allegedly carried out by Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. in November. Fellow UVA football players D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler were all killed.
Now, Hollins, who heroically tried to intervene to save his teammates, is just happy to be back on the field for team drills.
Virginia football players D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr., and Devin Chandler were murdered in November.

For the first time since Nov. 28, the Timberwolves star is poised to take the court.
The Timberwolves are poised to get a major boost for the final playoff push on Wednesday: Karl-Anthony Towns is back. 
After missing 51 consecutive games with a Grade 3 calf strain, Towns is set to return to the court for Minnesota’s game on Wednesday against the Hawks, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Barring any setbacks in pregame warmups, the three-time All-Star will make his first appearance since Nov. 28.

The NBA apparently took notice of Fred VanVleet’s criticism of referee Ben Taylor.
Ben Taylor is young for an NBA referee at 37 years old. He already has 10 seasons of experience as an official in the league, and was on the floor for LeBron James’ 61-point game against the Charlotte Bobcats back in 2014. Few fans knew Taylor’s name coming into this year, and that’s a good thing: refs want to fly under the radar and do their job fairly and accurately. If people are taking notice of a specific ref, that probably means they messed up.

He is considered one of the top recruits in the country at just 15 years old.
Cameron Boozer, the son of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, was named Gatorade‘s National Boys Basketball Player of the Year on Wednesday. The award is one of the most prestigious high school basketball awards in the country and is given to a player who demonstrates excellence on the court and in the classroom.
Past winners of the award include Jayson Tatum, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kevin Love, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
