“Kind of a clean slate for me,” said Mitchell, who didn’t face Rothrock in last year’s WCWS game between the teams. “I knew I needed to be on time, and that’s kind of just the forefront of my thoughts.”
Afterward, he said he’s in a “better spot” than he was last season and was feeling zero pain. He’s expected to resume catching passes by training camp.“Tyreek’s done a great job of being proactive of when he got the surgery done,” coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday, “and then making sure that he is able to do as much as he can with the team, which has very much included his daily participation in how he attacks all of our strength program. ... As we train his way back into recovery of that hand, then he’ll start catching the ball.”
Hill was noticeably leaner when he spoke on Wednesday. He said he weighs 183 pounds now, down from around 197 when he first got to Miami.“Obviously I can run with anybody, run by anybody,” Hill said. “But I think having that endurance, having that ability to not get tired from third downs is very important. So I wanted to slim down and actually lose body fat.”He repeated his goal of reaching 2,000 yards receiving, something he came close to in 2023 but wasn’t able to achieve.
Hill led the NFL with 1,799 yards receiving that season for Miami. His 112.4 yards per game and 13 receiving touchdowns also led the NFL.He came nowhere near replicating those numbers in 2024, finishing the season with 959 yards — his fewest since the 2019 season with Kansas City. And Miami’s offense took a step back in part because injuries sidelined starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa throughout the season.
Frustrations boiled over for Hill in the final game. By the second half of an eventual loss, Hill was out of the game. Afterward, he said he intended to “do what’s best for me and my family. If that’s here or wherever the case may be. I’m (going to) open that door for myself.”
He’s remained in headlines for different reasons since then, whether for chatter that he plans to race Olympian Noah Lyles, or recently because ofThe Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

KONGSBERG, Norway (AP) — In 1944, Norwegian resistance fighters in the town of Kongsberg blew up a factory making cannons for occupying Nazi German forces during World War II.More than 80 years later, the municipality could once again be a target for sabotage and is preparing for war.
The local authorities have dusted off Cold War-era bomb shelters, installed a new satellite communications system and are working with the military on plans to help a deployment of Western forces in case of conflict.“The lesson we learned from Ukraine is that everybody pitched in,” said Odd John Resser, Kongsberg’s Emergency Planning Officer, noting breweries that pivoted to making Molotov cocktails, local authorities that built schools in shelters and weapons factories which ramped up production.
