The Jacksonville Jaguars are already set to face a banged-up Miami Dolphins team in Week 1, and yet another Dolphins weapon has been ruled out this week.

Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will start the season on the Reserve/PUP list, which means he will miss at least the first four games. Beckham is the second big-name veteran the Dolphins placed on the list, following pass-rusher Bradley Chubb.

“We were very hopeful that it would be around week one here, and to be honest with you guys, we put him down,” Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said, via Dolphins On SI. “He did not want to go down. And he is very close. You guys have seen glimpses of him running around outside, doing stuff. He’s very close. But for us, it was a long play. We didn’t want him to rush back, feeling that he had to rush back, and then something happened and set us back.

“So this was more Mike and I sitting down talking with (head athletic trainer Kyle Johnston), the trainers, and we just felt what’s best for him. long haul to help us here win games is to put them down for a little bit right now.”

While Beckham is not Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle at this stage of his career, this does mean the Jaguars have one less weapon to worry about next Sunday.

With the Jaguars’ tough slate over the first month of the season, every advantage they can get Week 1 will matter.

“Treat every day like it’s Sunday so Sunday is not different. We want to wear the same gear, same—look, that’s easy to say, right? But if you can take that approach and the mindset that when Sunday comes, I’m ready to go,” Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen said on Wednesday.

“The indecision and things like that create kind of uneasiness for the player. We want everything to look and sound and everything to be as close as we can to Sunday, so the player shows up, he knows his alignments and assignments and he goes and plays a million miles an hour and plays fast and executes. That’s really important. In this league, you have to execute. Execute, play fast, play hard, play tough, violent, those things like that. We want to do that every single day, so it’s not different on Sunday.”

MIAMI LAKES, FLA. (WSVN) – A missing dog has been returned to his owner, days after he was picked up by a stranger in a Miami Gardens neighborhood.

After 7News posted the surveillance video of Tato, a 2-and-a-half-year-old micro bully, being taken from a busy street on Sunday, somebody saw the story and returned him to his rightful owners.

Tato’s owner, Joammier Callejas, is deaf, but his friend Bernando Marte helps him communicate with others.

Speaking with 7News Wednesday night, Marte said Callejas is happy to have Tato back.

“He loves him very much, and he’s super excited that he’s able to have him back,” said Marte.

7News cameras captured Tato playing with his sister at the barber shop in Miami Lakes where Callejas works.

The happy reunion comes days after video captured a woman picking up Tato and putting him in her car at the corner of Northwest 47th Avenue and 186th Street.

Tato’s sister was behind him, but she turned around and came back home.

Both dogs are said to have gotten out through the front door of the home.

Marte said Callejas hasn’t slept well since Tato was taken.

“A lot of sleepless nights, you know, the heart was broken,” said Marte.

Callejas was afraid he would never see Tato again, as the dog did not have a microchip.

But on Wednesday, Marte said, a young man came knocking on his door.

“We’re not too sure exactly the story, but what we got from it was he found the dog through the girl, and he said, ‘Hey, that’s not your dog,’ and he took the dog and kept it for a couple of days,” said Marte.

Thanks to the surveillance video, the man was able to find the right door to knock on and return the dog.

“He said he went back and watched the news, and he saw the address on the house,” said Marte.

Now, the family is back together again after a grateful act from a stranger.

“It was like tears of joy, you know, happy that he was home,” said Marte.

The family said they plan to microchip Tato on Thursday to make sure he never gets lost again.

Callejas also offered to give the young man a free haircut as a thank-you in returning the dog.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are loaded with NFL talent heading into the 2024 college football. Behind that NFL level talent, Ohio State is being widely predicted to compete for a National Championship.

One of those NFL talents on the roster is none other than star cornerback Denzel Burke.

Heading into his senior season, Burke is being viewed as one of the top cornerback prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft class.

CBS Sports recently released a new mock draft for the 2025 NFL Draft. While we’re still way early, it’s always intriguing to keep track of how players are viewed by draft experts.

In their new mock draft, they had Burke being selected by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 21 overall pick.

“Burke struggled through the 2022 season but bounced back in 2023, making his case as one of the best cornerbacks in this draft class. He welcomes man coverage and plays with physicality throughout the route.”

Speaking of his bounce-back sesason in 2023, Burke racked up 19 total tackles, a forced fumble, an interception, and eight defended passes. He’s expected to put together an even more productive season in 2024.

Burke will need to step up in a big way for the Buckeyes this season if they want to win a championship.

Ohio State is set to go up against some dangerous offenses. Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan are going to be major tests. Iowa might even be a bit of a trap game for the Buckeyes.

Hopefully, Burke will be ready to rise to the challenge and show off the lockdown potential that he has throughout the entire season.
