Garoppolo cleared to begin training camp
IN BRIEF
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo passed a physical on his injured left foot and will begin training camp with the Raiders.
Training camp opens Wednesday.
Garoppolo did not participate in organized team activities because of the foot injury, but coach Josh McDaniels expressed confidence from the beginning the quarterback would be ready for camp.
“We’re always going to err at this time of the year on being smart,” McDaniels said at the time. “We don’t play a football game for 3 1/2 months, so try to rush (players) out there in May, it’s a poor decision.”
Garoppolo signed a three-year, $72.75 million free-agent contract on March 17. His deal was announced a day later than others because of concerns about the foot. He reportedly signed a waiver rather than take a physical, which gave the Raiders flexibility in case Garoppolo — who has a history of being hurt — wasn’t ready to go.
• The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs held their first full-squad workout of training camp Sunday without All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones. Coach Andy Reid says he’s not worried yet about the absence of his star lineman, who has yet to report for camp.
Auto racing: Josef Newgarden completed the weekend sweep, winning Sunday’s IndyCar Series race at Iowa Speedway.
Newgarden held onto the lead on a restart with three laps to go, winning by less than a second over Team Penske teammate Will Power. It was the sixth victory of Newgarden’s career at the 0.875-mile oval and came a day after he led for 129 laps in another victory.
WNBA: Betnijah Laney scored a season-high 22 points, and the Liberty rode a record hot start to rout the Fever 101-83. The Liberty made their first nine shots on the way to a 44-point first quarter.
That’s the most points ever scored in a period in WNBA history surpassing the 42 that the Sky had against the Liberty in 2019.
