Bears roll with a youth-forward 53-man roster

Chicago Bears reveal a youth-heavy 53-man roster with several undrafted rookies earning spots; winners include Hayden Large (TE), Jayden Loving (DT), Malik Muhammad (CB nickel), Roschon Johnson (RB3) and Skyler Thomas (S), while losers are James Lynch (DT), Kyler Gordon (PUP) and Salvon Ahmed (RB). The moves emphasize blocking and development going forward, with Muhammad poised for nickel duties and Johnson getting a longer look, while Gordon’s PUP status adds some uncertainty.

Highlighted by a 20-point Game 7 against the Thunder, his floor-spreading defense and timely baskets helped unlock Victor Wembanyama and fuel a fast, playoff-ready Spurs lineup, earning coach Mitch Johnson’s label as the team’s “unsung hero.”

Ravens sign Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia on 3-year deal, but QB3 role remains open

Ravens sign Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia to a three-year deal to add developmental depth behind Lamar Jackson, with no expectation of replacing the starter or securing the primary backup role; he will compete for the No. 3 QB spot (likely with UDFA Joe Fagnano) as the team values development over immediate impact. Pavia, a 2025 standout who threw 29 TDs with 70.6% accuracy, is undersized at 5'9", 24 years old, and faced questions about consistency and maturity that contributed to him going undrafted.
