Dak Prescott: I'm healthy, I'll be full go for training camp

Details
08 July 2025

While it's not much of a surprise, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott delivered some positive news on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters at his youth football camp in Southlake, Texas, Prescott said that he's expecting to be fully cleared for the start of training camp later this month.

"I’m healthy as I’ll be,” Prescott said, via video from Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News. “I’ll be full go for camp. I’m healthy, yeah. I think soon here I’ll probably get an official sign off from doc. But I’m healthy.”

Prescott, who turns 31 at the end of the month, tore his hamstring off the bone in Dallas’ Week 9 matchup with Atlanta last season and missed the rest of the season. But he was able to participate in much of the Cowboys’ offseason program under first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, telling reporters in May that he’d been cleared for everything but contact.

In his eight games last year, Prescott completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 1,978 yards with 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

The Cowboys will begin training camp in Oxnard, Calif., on July 22.

Gayle Benson will join Saints delegation in France

Details
08 July 2025

The NFL's effort to expand its global audience includes big-picture initiatives and team-by-team efforts.

Via Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Saints are spreading the word to France, with a delegation that includes linebacker Demario Davis. Owner Gayle Benson will join the group later in the week, to attend a game of the Paris Musketeers.

"During her visit, she will meet with top French CEOs, politicians, cultural leaders and ambassadors with one goal in mind: promoting the state of Louisiana and the city New Orleans," Saints spokesman Greg Bensel told Johnson in a statement.

The Musketeers, who play in the European League of Football, have a strategic partnership with the Saints. The Saints also hold NFL marketing rights in France.

Which makes sense, given the strong French influence over Louisiana.

The NFL has yet to stage a regular-season game in France. If/when it happens, the Saints will undoubtedly be involved.

Patrick Mahomes: Maxx Crosby is the best pass rusher I’ve played against

Details
08 July 2025

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby tend to mix it up a bit when they play one another twice a year as division rivals.

While Mahomes has gotten the better of the Raiders throughout his career, sporting a 10-2 record against the club entering 2025, the two players share an appreciation for each other's game. Recently, Crosby said that while he sees himself as the league's best pass rusher, he sees Mahomes as the best quarterback.

In an interview with Up & Adams, Mahomes noted Crosby is one of the toughest competitors he has to face.

"I have so much respect for all those guys in the league that are about their craft, they’re about being better and better," Mahomes said. "Like he said, we’re going to compete. We know when we step on that football field, we’re going against each other, it’s the Raiders, it’s the Chiefs — it’s two of the greatest in the league going at each other snap [after] snap and continuing to do it twice a year.

"And so, there’s so much healthy respect, but when we get on that football field, it’s going to be trash talk. It’s going to be going out there, he’s going to try to get to me, I’m going to be trying to make big plays happen. But those are the guys — I always say, obviously, he’s on the other team, so I want to go against him and beat him. That’s the guys you want on your team, the guys who are going to leave it all out there, no matter what the score is, and be the best they can possibly be every snap."

But is Crosby the league's best edge rusher?

"I think he’s sacked me the most out of anyone I’ve ever played against, so to me, he’s the best pass rusher I’ve played against," Mahomes said. "So, no offense to any other pass rusher — just putting it out there. But he is the best one that I’ve gone up against because he goes out there and he gives you the effort, he has the moves, and he has the skill. And I think it’s hard to have all three of those and have them year in and year out."

Crosby has sacked Mahomes six times in his career.

The first meeting between Mahomes and Crosby in 2025 is set for Week 7 in Kansas City.
