Jamal Adams out for 2026 season with knee injury
The 2026 season is over for former All‑Pro safety Jamal Adams after a knee injury that ended his campaign in the first preseason game. The 32‑year‑old, who signed a one‑year deal worth $1.41 million with the Vikings, was limited to 11 snaps in the opener against the Giants before the non‑contact injury on MetLife Stadium’s artificial turf forced him out.
Adams had shifted to linebacker with the Raiders in 2025 and was expected to contribute in multiple roles in Minnesota’s defense. The injury’s specifics were not disclosed, but the Vikings will look to other players to fill the void for the rest of the year. cricket-ipl.in

Tomas Petrecek: Does Climbing a Mountain Worth the Risk?
Tomás Petrecek, a Czech climber, faces a dilemma over the danger of scaling Nanga Parbat, an 8,125‑meter peak that once linked British pioneer Alfred Mummery to modern mountaineers. The climb, once a heroic endeavor, now confronts climbers with melting glaciers, unstable rock, and a dramatically altered landscape.
Over the past 131 years, climate change has turned the Himalayas and Alps into a more hostile arena, forcing climbers to reevaluate the cost of risk against the reward of reaching a summit.
Cowboys Bolster Their Pass Rush, Reportedly Agree To Deal With Von Miller
Von Miller is returning to Texas to play for his hometown team. The two-time Super Bowl champion is expected to sign with the Dallas Cowboys, adding an experienced pass rusher to their defense, according to ESPN. Miller unofficially confirmed the move on social media, sharing a graphic of himself in a Cowboys uniform on his official X account. Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowler who grew up in DeSoto, Texas, comes to the Cowboys after spending last season with the Washington Commanders. During his year in Washington, the edge rusher recorded nine sacks while playing in seventeen regular-season games. The move keeps Miller in the NFC East while adding historic production to the roster. In 203 career regular-season games, he has accumulated 138.5 sacks, 27 forced fumbles and 9 fumble recoveries. Miller was also the Super Bowl 50 MVP and a three-time first-team All-Pro. He is the active NFL leader in career sacks with 138.5. Miller joins a Cowboys team that has sky-high expectations entering this season, as is always the case in Dallas. With a revamped defense and Dak Prescott, who led the league in passing yards last season with 4,552 yards, under center, the Cowboys have a 9.5-win total, but are favored in 11 games.
