George Kittle, who suffered a torn Achilles in January's playoff win over Philadelphia, considers returning for the season opener against the Rams in Australia his goal. "I was told it's not a crazy goal," Kittle said in a recent interview. catcross.biz
While acknowledging the difficulty of a 15-hour flight and the compressed timeline before Week 1, Kittle remains optimistic. "It might make it a little bit difficult — sure, but who doesn't like a challenge?" he added. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has previously expressed frustration about the overseas opener, though Kittle stopped short of sharing those sentiments.

Kolstad klar for Mesterligaen – banket Drammen i sluttspillfinalen
For fjerde år på rad vant Kolstad håndballsluttspillet for menn. Drammen ble herjet med i egen hall.
Gjestene fra Trondheim vant den andre finalekampen 39-24, og dermed tok Kolstad den norske Mesterliga-billetten.
Drammen ville vise seg fra en bedre side enn i 30-34-tapet sist lørdag, men til pause var de regjerende mesterne foran med 18-11.
– Det har vært en maktdemonstrasjon, sa TV 2s håndballekspert Bent Svele.
Etter hvilen reduserte Drammen luken til fire mål, men bare for å se rivalen kjøre på igjen.
Simon Jeppsson scoret hele 13 mål i onsdagens oppgjør.
– En kanonprestasjon, mente TV 2s kommentator Harald Bredli.
Sluttspillet ble en stor og viktig opptur for Kolstad. Klubben sliter tungt med økonomien og så tidligere i sesongen Elverum vinne eliteserien for annet år på rad.
Til høsten starter Kolstad serien med to minuspoeng etter brudd på lisensreglene. (NTB)
Report: Jets to trade WR Irv Charles to the Seahawks
The Jets and Seahawks have reportedly agreed to a trade.
Zack Rosenblatt of TheAthletic.com reports that the Jets will send wide receiver Irv Charles to Seattle. The Seahawks will send a conditional 2028 seventh-round pick back to the Jets.
Charles signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and spent the season on the practice squad. He appeared in 25 games over the next two seasons and saw almost all of his playing time on special teams. Charles has 14 tackles and he was targeted with two passes without recording a reception.
Charles tore his ACL late in the 2024 season and did not play at all last year. He'll try to make the 53-man roster and resume his playing career in Seattle.
