FOXBORO — And that’s a wrap. The Patriots effectively closed training camp Tuesday with a highly competitive, shorts-and-shells practice that pitted their starting offense and defense against one another from start to finish. Drake Maye went 16-of-25 amid a flood of pressure, including six would-be sacks. Maye finished by firing four completions over a end-of-game drive that started with 1:30 on the clock and ended with a made field goal; real progress after several recent practices featured scoreless two-minute drills and/or turnovers. Still, Maye’s accuracy was a bit spotty behind a starting offensive line that rotated at left guard and…

In his first public comments since rupturing his Achilles in May, Jayson Tatum shared a positive update on his arduous rehab process. The Celtics superstar said in a video posted on the NBA’s official social media channels that he’s making progress in his recovery, noting he’s no longer wearing a walking boot. “Rehab is, it’s tedious, man,” Tatum said. “It’s six days a week. It’s starting to get a little bit better. I’m out of the boot now. Better days ahead, but just trying to take it one day at a time.” “Better days ahead.” Jayson Tatum talks about resilience…
FOXBORO — It was the biggest play of Tuesday’s practice. First-team offense versus first-team defense. Just seconds on the clock. Third down. Of his five eligible targets on the field, Drake Maye looked for rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson. Against an all-out blitz look, Maye bought time by taking the snap and immediately moving to his right. Henderson saw what was coming and understood how he could help, freeing himself up in the right flat. Maye found him quickly, and the resulting big gain is what ultimately set up a 43-yard field goal from Andy Borregales. Not even 20 practices…
The New England Revolution officially announced the signing of 21-year-old Israeli striker Dor Turgeman from Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday, providing a late-season boost up front and a promising young talent for the club’s future. Negotiations between all sides took a few days, and Turgeman had several suitors, including Rangers of the Scottish Premiership. The Revolution got the deal done by reportedly paying Maccabi Tel Aviv a $6 million transfer fee, plus $1 million in add-ons and a 25% sell-on clause, according to Sky Sports. Turgeman’s salary is not yet publicly available, but the Revolution have signed him through 2028…
The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings are reportedly finalizing a trade. Per ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Harrison Phillips is headed to Gang Green. “ESPN sources: Vikings are trading DT Harrison Phillips and a 2027 7th-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for a 2026 6th-round pick and a 2027 6th-round pick, pending Phillips’ physical,” Schefter posted on X. “Phillips now joins Jowon Briggs as the second DT that the Jets traded for Wednesday.” “Harrison Phillips now returns to the AFC East, where he played for the Buffalo Bills from 2018-‘21,” Schefter added.…
So long, Isaiah Campbell. The Red Sox demoted the struggling reliever back down to Worcester ahead of the pivotal series with the Yankees this weekend. Richard Fitts, who has been a starter all season will make his way back up to the big leagues and pitch out of the bullpen. (Sean McAdam, MassLive)But the bullpen isn’t the only issue right now. Of the 101 pitchers who have thrown at least 100 innings in 2025, Walker Buehler’s 5.40 ERA is the eighth-worst mark in all of baseball. Nonetheless, Walker Buehler ranks second on the Red Sox in games started. This is…
FOXBORO — A day after Eliot Wolf made waves saying the Patriots would be open to potential blockbuster trades, his ranking No. 2 echoed a lesser publicized part of his comments Tuesday. Speaking with reporters before practice, Patriots vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden reiterated trades are harder to make than most outsiders think. “I think Eliot (Wolf) put it in a good (way) yesterday,” Cowden said. Tthere’s so many layers and complications and little nuances about every deal. Whether that’s a little deal, whether that’s a big deal or it’s a backup player or maybe an elite player.…
FOXBORO — Patriots outside linebackers coach Mike Smith has worked with several Pro Bowl pass rushers over his 15-year coaching career, yet sees something new in one of his youngest players. Undrafted rookie Elijah Ponder is “probably one of the best (undrafted) free agent pickups” Smith said he’s ever seen, noting Tuesday the Cal Poly alum at times looks like a seasoned vet. “He was a guy that nobody was looking at, but if you look at his athletic ability, it’s off the charts,” Smith told reporters Tuesday. “He’s a big rusher. He moves great in space. He’s not scared…
New England Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker looks like he could get another crack at proving he should stay past cutdown day. The second-year receiver has had a decent camp, though that hasn’t necessarily translated to games. He’s taken reps on special teams, as well, and is clearly trying to atone for an underwhelming rookie campaign. There was optimism that Baker would out-perform his fourth-round selection, but he offered few meaningful contributions in Year 1. He had one reception for 12 yards with just four targets in 11 games as a rookie. Now, he’s in a battle with the likes…
