SAN JOSE The San Jose Sharks did not have second-year center Macklin Celebrini on the ice Friday as they finished their second day of training camp. It was not immediately clear as to why Celebrini was not on the ice with his assigned group on Friday. Celebrini practiced on Thursday, but reported to the team that he wasn't feeling well after the skate and was sent home by the Sharks' medical staff.

I think it's awesome. Obviously with what he's been through, to be able to put himself in a position to come back and be feeling good, I think that's the most important thing.

Austin Jackson, arguably the best run blocker on the offensive line, and Patrick Paul, arguably the best pass blocker, are key to the Dolphins' success. If they stay healthy, the team faces no issues in offensive tackle depth.

David Hughes criticized the EFL for scheduling an EFL Cup tie before the League season, saying it put players at risk, especially with no games the following week. He expressed concern over fairness towards his players, emphasizing their preparation and the possible injuries incurred due to the tight schedule. He highlighted the risk of injuries after a six-week training block designed to position the players for a successful start to the season. Hughes believed this scheduling was not in the players' best interest.

Awoniyi remains in an induced coma following surgery for a serious abdominal injury sustained during a match against Leicester, emphasizing the risks athletes face.

"Ultimately, the players' health is the No. 1 factor in our team's success and even more than our fans' satisfaction in the long run."
