Sports news highlights -
Cowboys’ Witten
Retiring from NFL, Steelers’ Shazier Given $8.26 Million USD and Jays’
Donaldson Back in Action
Dallas
Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is retiring from the NFL and joining ESPN’s
Monday Night Football as an analyst, according to an ESPN report. Sources say it was a difficult
decision for Witten:
“Witten wrestled with the decision for
the past week, alternating almost hourly between taking the job and playing a
record 16th season for the Cowboys, sources said. He has informed owner and
general manager Jerry Jones and coach Jason Garrett of his decision.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers have converted
the majority of injured linebacker Ryan Shazier’s base-salary into a signing
bonus according to ESPN. Shazier, who is recovering from
spinal surgery for an injury received last season against the Cincinnati
Bengals, will receive $8.26 million USD of his $8.72 million USD base salary
immediately. ESPN reports that though Shazier may not play again, his recovery
has shown some headway:
“While his football career remains in
doubt at this point, he has made notable progress, including an inspiring
moment in which he walked across the stage to announce a team draft choice
during the 2018 NFL draft last week in Arlington, Texas.”
theScore reports that third baseman Josh
Donaldson has been activated from the disabled list (DL) to rejoin the Toronto
Blue Jays in Cleveland today. Donaldson was put on the DL after sustaining
inflammation in his right shoulder on April 13. With Donaldson back, first
baseman Justin Smoak was correspondingly placed on the paternity list.
