Each NFL team has a different draft board, with some prospects ranking higher than others. Generally, the status of a potential client depends mostly on their film, measurables or character. However, there are some rare cases when an athlete has a history of injury.

Most injuries are not serious enough to have a major impact on a player’s future, although some are more serious than others. Sometimes injuries not only ruin a player’s season, but can also impact the rest of his career.

The same could happen with Tennessee’s Jarmod McCoy, who is projected to be a first-round pick. LSU’s Mansur Delaney is considered the top cornerback prospect, but McCoy is often ranked right behind him despite overcoming a torn ACL that wiped out his 2025 season.

While McCoy is expected to be healthy for Week 1, some NFL evaluators are concerned about his long-term health.

According to NFL insider Tony Pauline of Essential Sports, some teams have “red flagged” McCoy for a possible “degenerative knee condition.”

This could cause McCoy’s stock to drop to the point where some teams have removed him from their draft boards entirely. Still, other teams may not agree with this assessment, which is why McCoy could still be a first-round pick. Just needs a team to clear him medically and believe McCoy has a bright future in the NFL.

Santiago Jimenez has been struggling at AC Milan and this could give Sunderland the chance to sign him.

The Mexican joins the Rossoneri in January 2025 for around €35m. Although he impressed in the second half of last season, he has struggled this campaign.

He has yet to score a single goal in Serie A and this has raised doubts over his future in January.

sports witness Sunderland’s interest in the striker was covered when they made an initial approach for his signature. Brentford were also in the mix before Jimenez was ruled out with injury.

There are beliefs that had the 24-year-old not been injured, he would have joined Sunderland.

Day There has been speculation over the Mexico international’s future, with a move away from the San Siro likely.

Black Cats could sign the player

The newspaper highlights how Milan’s attack has failed this season… They are no longer in the running for the Serie A title, with a number of exits likely in the summer.

Niklas Fulkrug is likely to return to West Ham, with Christopher Nkunku also proving disappointing. As for Jiménez, he could also be on the move at the end of the season.

The Milan attack has scored only five goals in 2026 and this is causing concern. Robert Lewandowski is being touted as a target, with players like Jimenez and Nkunku making way for the Barcelona star.

Our opinion: Sunderland can save Jimenez

This season, Regis Le Bris’s side have seen Brian Brobby impress in the Premier League. He put in an impressive performance against Tottenham at the weekend, helping Sunderland to a 1–0 win.

Jimenez could offer something different for the Black Cats and a potential partnership with Brobby.

Milan paid €35m for Jimenez and a deal could be struck with interested clubs for anything around €25m.

In January, David Fratesi was close to joining Nottingham Forest. Since then, circumstances have not improved for the Inter Milan player, whose future remains very uncertain.

sports witness The situation in Italy was covered widely two months ago. The Midlands club had found an agreement for an initial loan deal but Inter failed to sign Curtis Jones from Liverpool as a replacement.

This meant that Fratessi stayed at the Nerazzurri, much to the disappointment of everyone involved. He has made only one start since the beginning of February, being dropped only as a back-up option in midfield.

It’s easy to see why the former Sassuolo player would be frustrated with life at Inter. Now, Nottingham Forest could be back in the picture for him.

Survival may be crucial to deal

interlive The report concerns the 26-year-old, who scored vital goals for the Nerazzurri in the Champions League last season. Although he was not a regular under Simone Inzaghi, his profile has dropped further under Cristian Chivu.

There is a belief that while joining AS Roma could be a consideration for Fratessi, he is more likely to end up in England.

‘Talks with Nottingham Forest ‘could restart in the summer’Provided they avoid demotion’. However, it is clear that Vitor Pereira’s side are still keen to bring him to the City Ground.

Fratesi would also be keen to play in the Premier League and a move to the Championship could give other English clubs the chance to sign him.

The financial capability of Premier League sides also attracts the Serie A league leaders. Inter are aware that the Italian club will likely opt for an initial loan, while they would prefer a permanent exit for Fratesi.

Nottingham Forest must press for signing

The current season says little about Fratesi and his qualities as a player. Despite limited playing time, Italy manager Rino Gattuso called him up to the national team last week and it says everything about what Fratesi is capable of.

He has a reputation as someone who scores important goals after making unexpected runs from midfield. This has been a key attribute of his during his time at Sassuolo, showing the value he will add to Nottingham Forest.

At 26 years old, he may also present the possibility of a resale in the future. This will be especially true if Pereira’s side make the most of the midfielder, who will be desperate for a move in the summer.

Interestingly, Fratessi and Lorenzo Lucca are represented by GR Sports. This could make it easier for Nottingham Forest to execute a potential deal at some point in the future.

Bayern Munich will join the battle for Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Vuckovic if Kim Min-jae leaves in the summer.

Last summer, Vuckovic arrived at the north London club, agreeing a deal with Hajduk Split until September 2023.

Tottenham allowed him to join Hamburg SV on loan, and the move has gone well so far.

The centre-back has played 2,370 minutes in 26 matches so far this season and managed five goals and one assist. His per game statistics in the Bundesliga give an idea of ​​his growth this season.

His development with the Bundesliga team has convinced him to keep him beyond this season. Vuckovic also expressed his desire to continue with them, playing alongside his brother Mario. The latter is at Hamburg SV and serving a doping ban until November.

The journalist claims that a good offer for Min-Jay would result in his sale and Bayern Munich could join the race for the Spurs man.

“They would sell Kim if a good offer came along. Then, for example, they could enter a Vuckovic bidding war. The topic of central defense remains hot at FC Bayern, but only if Kim is sold,” He said.

In other words, South Korea’s exit could change Bayern Munich’s plans for the Croatia international.

Tottenham’s demotion could result in a summer sale

On Thursday, it was reported by ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania that Detroit Pistons star point guard Cade Cunningham will miss an extended period of time due to a damaged lung. The scary situation comes as the Pistons prepare for a playoff run, in which they will likely be the number one seed in the Eastern Conference.

Depending on how much time Cunningham misses, it is possible he could miss eligibility for end-of-season NBA awards, including First Team All-NBA and others that require a player to appear in a minimum of 65 games.

If Cunningham does indeed miss the cut, it would spark further backlash over award eligibility rules. The league first implemented the 65-game minimum in an effort to reduce load management, which, in fairness, was a very real concern at the time, and still is to some extent. It’s also true that the best ability is availability, and there’s certainly a limit to how much value a player can provide to his team if he’s consistently out of the lineup for any reason.

However, if Cunningham does indeed miss out on eligibility, All-NBA teams could feature some faces that many fans may not have seen play at that level on the court. Players like Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are already teetering on the edge of eligibility due to previous injury absences, as is San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama.

Cunningham not getting recognition at the end of the season could potentially be the last nail in the coffin that forces the NBA to make changes this offseason.

For now, Cunningham is being considered a possible candidate for First Team All-NBA and the league MVP award.

Celtic’s Europa League hopes of returning could be dealt a blow, with VfB Stuttgart set to welcome back star Angelo Stiller.

This is according to BILD. The German newspaper today gives a positive update on the 24-year-old’s injury, at least from a German perspective.

Celtic head to Stuttgart on Thursday looking to reverse their 4-1 defeat last week. The German side dominated at Celtic Park in the first leg, with a clinical performance amid protests from the Celtic fans.

Why Celtic won’t find it easy

Sports witnesses have already covered their mindset before the second leg. head coach Sebastian Hoenes promises That they would be “prepared accordingly” despite their innate advantage.

One possible complication was Stiller’s injury. There were fears that he might have suffered a serious injury during the match played in Heidenheim on Sunday evening. But, an MRI scan on Monday evening confirmed that there was no problem.

In fact, it’s even possible that Stiller could return to the team for the second leg against Celtic on Thursday. However, the midfielder was not on the field for Tuesday’s training session.

Instead he completed an individual session. At this point, the assumption is that Hoehn would likely prefer to rest Stiller against Celtic. They have captain Atakan Karazor to replace Stiller in the interim.

facing celtic history

But still, having the 24-year-old available would be a big boost. And Celtic’s hopes of pulling off a Europa League miracle were dealt a blow.

Although Martin O’Neill’s side may not play as poorly as they did in the first leg, the trip to Germany will certainly not be easy. If they can come back, it would mean history in the making.

Neither team has successfully overturned a three-goal deficit from a 4–1 defeat in the first leg. Teams have come back from 3–0 or by different scores, but never 4–1.

In 2019 Eintracht Frankfurt had a team come close to recovering from a 4–1 defeat in the competition.
