Kittle defies injury to save wife from giant spider; PETA weighs in

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, still recovering from last season’s Achilles tear, sprang into action in the early hours to rescue his wife from a spider in their bathroom. He struck the arachnid on the first attempt and, after hugs and kisses for bravery, got back to rest. PETA responded, saying spiders deserve a good day and offering a humane bug catcher. With his injury sidelining him for now, Kittle remains focused on Week 1 prep.

Rumors Swirl Over Elliot Page as Achilles in Nolan’s The Odyssey

Trailer chatter is swirling that Elliot Page may play Achilles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, though no casting has been confirmed; the film’s cast includes Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland as Telemachus, and Anne Hathaway as Penelope, with Lupita Nyong’o rumored as Helen of Troy. Page appears briefly in a mud-smeared, shadowy scene and delivers a line that fans link to the Nekyia, suggesting Nolan’s potential bold, emotionally focused take on the myth. Release is July 17.

Tatum Returns, Celtics Roll to 120-100 Win

Jayson Tatum returned from a 298-day Achilles rupture layoff, overcoming rough early rust to finish with 15 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in 27 minutes as Boston beat Dallas 120-100. The sell-out TD Garden celebrated his long-awaited return, and while the Celtics had thrived without him with a top offensive rating, his back signals a new, deeper chapter as he ramps back into action alongside a supporting cast led by Jaylen Brown.

Tatum Poised for Friday Return as Celtics Prepare Achilles Comeback

Celtics star Jayson Tatum could make his season debut Friday against the Dallas Mavericks after a right Achilles tear last May. He had surgery within 24 hours, has progressed through rehab (including a Maine Celtics stint and five-on-five work), and is expected to play with a minutes restriction and no back-to-backs. Boston, 41-21 and led by Jaylen Brown, will rely on Tatum’s return to boost offense and defense as the playoffs approach.

Tatum Nears Celtics Return as They Chase Postseason Edge

Boston’s Jayson Tatum could return as early as Friday against the Mavericks after an Achilles injury, with ESPN’s Shams Charania listing him questionable. The Celtics sit 41-21 and second in the East, having reshaped payroll by trading Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis, yet overachieving this season. Expect a cautious ramp-up and rust removal as coach Joe Mazzulla treads carefully, much like Paul George did after his 2014 injury, with the priority on long-term health and postseason readiness over a rushed return.

Colts See Daniel Jones as Cornerstone Amid Achilles Rehab Push

At the NFL Scouting Combine, the Indianapolis Colts expressed strong mutual interest in Daniel Jones, with GM Chris Ballard and coach Shane Steichen calling negotiations positive and aiming to finalize a contract before free agency. Jones is coming back from a December Achilles tear and is projected to be ready for training camp in about eight months, a timeline the Colts believe is feasible given his rehab. They also note his injury history as a factor in talks, while the quarterback market remains robust for the open market.

Notre Dame coach Shrewsberry hobbles off with suspected Achilles after Duke rout

Notre Dame was routed 100-56 by No. 1 Duke as head coach Micah Shrewsberry injured his lower left leg, later reported as an Achilles injury, and left the court in a walking boot with assistance. He returned briefly in the second half but remained seated much of the time. The Irish were also missing their top scorers Markus Burton and Jalen Haralson with ankle injuries, and it’s unclear whether Shrewsberry will coach in the next game versus NC State.

"49ers' Achilles Injuries: Super Bowl and Training Camp Updates"

The San Francisco 49ers experienced two non-contact Achilles injuries during the Super Bowl, prompting concerns about the condition of the practice fields at UNLV where the team had trained. While there is no direct evidence linking the injuries to the field, the team expressed worry about lower-body injuries due to the field's condition.

Vikings RB Cam Akers Out with Achilles Injury

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers suffered an injury to his left Achilles during the team's victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The severity of the injury is yet to be confirmed, but it would be the second Achilles injury for Akers in his career. The Vikings acquired Akers from the Los Angeles Rams earlier this season, and if further tests confirm a tear, they will likely rely on Ty Chandler as a backup to starter Alexander Mattison.
