Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:00:59 GMT

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — There was one player that general manager Ryan Poles wanted to compliment during his training camp opening news conference this week.It makes sense that it's someone who is at the position he used to play."The offseason, he busted his butt," said Poles of rookie offensive tackle Darnell Wright. "He lost weight, he lost body fat, he absolutely crushed the conditioning test, like didn't break a sweat."On Friday, the first round pick shed a little bit of light as to why he came into camp in incredible shape - and it happened by accident."I was looking at the wide receivers running portion of the workout. So I was doing thiers," said Wright when told about Poles' comments, who said he dropped around 16 pounds in training. "So then I came back and, obviously, we have different stuff."So what would change about a receiver's conditioning drills compared to that of an offensive lineman?"More distance and lower time, basically," said Wright in response.That's not necessar...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Zilker Park Vision Plan has become a hot button topic in Austin.According to the City of Austin's website, the park needs some upgrades.The site said Zilker is in crisis and facing increased ecological degradation, accessibility issues and damage from overuse in certain areas.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:00:59 GMT

A svelte Russell Wilson smiled at the question.You going to take off and run more this fall?“I’m trying to get moving for you,” he said slyly.The 12th-year quarterback looked capable of doing just that as he started his second training camp with the Broncos, though any grand conclusions after one day in helmets can safely be avoided, just as Wilson sidestepped a question about how much weight he cut over the offseason.“I don’t know, I’m just ready to play football. I’m not worried about the numbers on that,” he said. “I think the biggest thing for me is I feel great, feel confident in what I’m doing. Feel strong. Feel fast. Really worked on everything.”A nine-time Pro Bowler in Seattle, Wilson regressed across the board in Denver. He threw a career-low 16 touchdowns on just 60.5% completions. The Broncos lost 11 of the 15 games he started. He dealt with three different injuries over the course of the season.“Last year is last year,” Wilson said. “It wasn’t anything that I ever wante...
