The 2026 Minnesota Vikings will have a different experience when they take the field for the first time. Although they were not one of the many teams that made head coaching or coordinator changes, the team’s roster would be very different.

Last year, they were starting second-year quarterback with zero NFL playing experience in JJ McCarthy. This year, that job is expected to go to former No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray.

But more than the offense, the defense will be very different. It begins in the trenches, where Jonathan Allen and Jevon Hargrave have gone. Now, the Vikings will break out a pair of rookie defensive tackles in Caleb Banks and Domonique Orange along with Jalen Redmond.

Still, the biggest change overall may be in the secondary following the release of 14-year pro Harrison Smith from the roster. The one-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowl safety has been said to be considering retirement for several seasons now, and at age 37, it may be time to walk away.

However, recent comments from Vikings rookie third-round safety Jacoby Thomas suggest that Smith has been around the facility recently. Thomas may also be hinting that Smith will return to the playing field for the Vikings in 2026.

“We’ve had a little contact recently,” Thomas said. “We chatted a little bit…(I’m) ready to meet him in person again and connect with him, and learn as much as I can from him.”

Earlier, Coach O’Connell said, “It’s good for Jacoby to be breaking news on his first day here.”

So, what was KOC pointing towards? Is Smith getting ready to play a 15th season in the NFL now that the Vikings have a former Pro Bowl QB again? Or was the breaking news simply that Smith is already guiding the Vikings’ rookie defense, and he might consider a coaching role in Minnesota?

AIK Fotbal’s Zadok Yohana is attracting attention, including from the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur.

The 18-year-old player came through the ranks at Nigerian side Ikon Allah FA and joined AIK Fotball in June 2025.

His preferred position is on the right wing, but at the Swedish club, he also operates as a wing back. The Nigerian’s performances and ability have already attracted the attention of Chelsea.

On 10 April, Game Witness Claims covered from Nigeria The Blues are keeping a close eye on the player. Two days later, we Swedish club broadcasts the news Price set at €20-25m.

AIK football recruitment head Mikka Takkula has confirmed the interest without revealing details.

Tottenham joined Chelsea in the following players

express Tottenham are now reported to be keeping a close eye on the youngster in Sweden.

Broadcaster TV4 initially reported that scouts from unnamed Premier League teams were in Sweden to watch Zadok Yohan.

The outlet learned from its sources that a Spurs official was in Sweden yesterday. The scout watched Zadok Yohana live in his team’s 2–1 defeat to Dagerfors IF.

He played the full 90 minutes, and after the match, the same outlet spoke with the attacker, who was unaware that a Spurs scout was present.

“No, I don’t know. I didn’t know there were scouts here. I’m just focusing on my game. My focus is completely on AIK.” He said.

When asked about his future, Yohan said: “Of course I have a dream.”

Meanwhile, the player has impressed Dagerfors IF manager Henoch Goitome.

“Yohanna is an extraordinary player. I love watching him play. He plays just like he plays on the street. We told Samba [Diatara] That he is good. and to [Elias] Barsoum that we will have to play two matches against one there.” He added.

Our opinion: Spurs unlikely to spend big

If earlier claims are to be believed, the Allsvenskan side are requesting around €15-25m to sanction his sale.

Since moving to Europe, Zadok Yohanna has played 15 matches, scoring four goals and three assists. He has not been tested at the highest level yet.

Therefore, the summer may perhaps be too early for Tottenham Hotspur to spend €15m on the Nigerian. His contract expires in December 2029, and transfer market Value him at €500k.

BOSTON – No matter how much the Boston Celtics have accomplished on the court this season, there will always be discussion about what’s happening off the court. or rather, Who is off the court, because Celtics fans just want to know one thing: When is star forward Jayson Tatum coming back?

While no one in Tatum’s camp has confirmed whether the six-time All-Star will return to play this season after suffering an Achilles injury in May, there are multiple outside reports speculating he will return before the 2026 NBA Playoffs begin.

A possible clue lies in the making of “The Quiet Work”, a five-episode documentary from Zero Pressure Productions (a new production company owned by Tatum), which chronicles Tatum’s recovery and eventual return to action. The existence of this short series suggests that the 27-year-old, who turns 28 on Tuesday, could be suiting up for the green team soon.

Tonight, the first episode of “The Quiet Work” airs on NBC.

And perhaps the release schedule of “The Quiet Work” confirms that theory.

Why is Jayson Tatum’s documentary ahead of schedule?

In a February 22 press release from Zero Pressure Productions and their broadcast partner, NBC Sports, it was announced that five minisodes documenting Tatum’s mental and physical journey “will air on a weekly basis.”

This was initially the case with the first two episodes, as Episode 1 was released on February 22 before the Celtics’ emphatic win over the rival Los Angeles Lakers and Episode 2 was released on March 1 before the Celtics’ Sunday night win over another rival – the Philadelphia 76ers.

There is a clear weekly pattern outlined in the press release. However, after Boston’s home win against Philly, NBC removed Episode 3 and Tatum later posted it to his YouTube account on Monday afternoon.

So, why the sudden change? If Tatum’s rehab process turns out to be true to the documentary, is it almost over?

These questions remain unanswered, but given the repeated references to a return in Episode 3 and the commercials around Boston announcing his return to action, it seems Tatum could potentially play during the 2025-26 campaign.

Of course, recovery is a fickle thing, especially with an Achilles injury. And while the Celtics would obviously love to have Tatum back in the lineup, they’ve won enough that they don’t need to rush the process. Boston is now 40-20 overall, in second place in the Eastern Conference, and just two wins off last season’s pace, when Tatum was healthy and the Celtics were loaded with talent.

In Tatum’s absence, Celtics star Jaylen Brown has taken up the load. He became an Eastern Conference All-Star starter for the first time in his career this season and led the Sixers with 27 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in 38 minutes on Sunday.

“I think we did a good job of being unselfish and playing Celtics basketball,” Brown said after Boston’s 40th win. “I think we’re starting to figure it out. Tonight was a team win. Everybody did their job. When you’re doing that, it makes you more dangerous.”

Although the Celtics have overachieved beyond most pundits and pre-season projections, they are still a team with a missing piece. They won’t be full on Monday night when they face the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum, but maybe they can be full again before March ends.

Fans are speculating whether Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum will see action this season as he recovers from his Achilles injury.

Multiple reports say Tatum is on track and ahead of schedule. He has accomplished several feats, including participating in controlled 5‑on‑5 scrimmages and working out with teammates.

The 27-year-old Tatum has touted his progress, but recently backtracked on his previous view that he could suit up this season, saying he needed to reevaluate his situation.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed that Tatum was practicing ahead of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers. But when asked if the six-time All-Star participated, Mazzulla had the all-time response, as shown in a video posted by CLNS.

Did Jayson Tatum practice yesterday?

“He was at practice?”

Did he participate?

Silence usually means yes. But Mazzulla is as difficult to read in Latin as Leo Tolstoy’s “War and Peace”, so it’s hard to say whether he actually alluded to anything.

Why waste energy on words when you can always look deep into someone’s soul and make them question their existence?

If anything, Majulla is tired of answering questions about Tatum, who suffered a debilitating injury against the New York Knicks in last season’s playoffs.

Whatever his wordless response actually meant, it’s clear the Celtics are doing just fine without Tatum. They defeated the Lakers 111–89 to improve to 37–19, including 8–2 in their last 10 games.

Jaylen Brown is playing at an MVP level, earning his keep from even LeBron James. Derrick White, Payton Pritchard and Neemias Queta have been consistent contributors, while the addition of Nikola Vucevic has made them even stronger.

The Celtics will take a look at the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
