Former Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Philadelphia Phillies’ MLB interleague game against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
Does that mean he’s seen more action with the Phillies than with the Eagles?
Philadelphia’s NFL team traded up one spot in the first round of the NFL Draft on April 24 to make certain they got Campbell. But offseason surgery on his left shoulder for a torn labrum kept Campbell from participating with his new teammates in the Eagles’ offseason drills.
Philadelphia’s players report for training camp on Tuesday, and the Eagles haven’t provided a timetable for when Campbell might start doing more than individual work.
“Every athlete can vouch for this,” Campbell said, “but we always feel like, ‘Dang, I want to get back out there.’ God has a story for everybody, especially for my journey. I got hurt. It’s just all about rehab and taking it one day at a time. Just trusting in God’s faith and God’s journey, so I can be the best version of myself.
“The biggest goal is to get back, get back healthy, making sure I’m strong and have a good mentality going into camp.”
The Eagles have two spots where they could use Campbell’s help.
Philadelphia has Zack Braun, a first-team All-Pro selection, and Nakobe Dean returning at inside linebacker for the 2025 season – when Dean is healthy again. Dean recorded 128 tackles in 2024, but he sustained a torn patellar tendon in his left knee in Philadelphia’s playoff opener, and his return seems even further off than Campbell’s.
Nolan Smith is back after recording 6.5 sacks at outside linebacker in 2024. But Josh Sweat left the Eagles for the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent this offseason after recording 43 sacks in the past six seasons for Philadelphia.
The Eagles kick off their three-game preseason schedule on Aug. 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals and play in the opening game of the NFL’s 2025 regular season on Sept. 4 against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Washington Commanders’ rookies reported for training camp on Friday, and second-round draft pick Trey Amos was among them.
The former Alabama cornerback was part of the stampede of second-rounders who signed contracts this week.
Amos’ signing leaves unsigned only one of the 21 2025 draft picks who played at Alabama high schools and colleges. Former Pike Road running back Quinshon Judkins, a second-round selection from Ohio State, has not signed with the Cleveland Browns, and his situation has been complicated by his arrest on Sunday.
Before Wednesday, only two of the 32 second-round draft picks had signed their rookie contracts. After Cleveland linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins became the first second-round selections to sign fully guaranteed contracts, the negotiations for the rest of the second-round deals became protracted.
While each drafted player signs a four-year contract, and the amount of the contract is set by the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and its players association, the size of the guarantee is a matter for negotiation.
Even though he hadn’t signed his contract, Amos participated in the Commanders’ offseason program.
Since Wednesday, 24 second-round draft picks have signed their contracts.
Amos’ college career included three stops. The cornerback started with three seasons at Louisiana followed by the 2023 campaign at Alabama and concluding at Ole Miss in 2024.
Of the Commanders’ top three cornerbacks in 2024, Mike Sainristil and former Hewitt-Trussville High School and Auburn standout Noah Igbinoghene return. Benjamin St-Juste left for the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency.
Washington will have four-time Pro Bowler Marshon Lattimore for the start of the season in 2025. A November trade with the New Orleans Saints brought Lattimore to the Commanders, and he started the final two regular-season games and three playoff contests as Washington advanced to the NFC Championship Game.
In free agency, the Commanders added nine-year veteran and former Auburn standout Jonathan Jones to its secondary in March.

On Saturday at 7:27 p.m. the National Weather Service issued a flood warning in effect until 9 p.m. for Limestone and Madison counties.
The weather service adds, “Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected for Limestone and Madison counties.”
“Expect many areas of slow moving or standing water,” adds the weather service. “Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.”
Deciphering advisories, watches, and warnings: Understanding weather alerts
Flash flood warning: Take action!
A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is either imminent or already occurring. In flood-prone areas, it’s crucial to move immediately to higher ground. A flash flood is a sudden and violent inundation that can develop within minutes to hours, and it can even happen in areas not currently experiencing rainfall.
Flood warning: Take action!
A flood warning is declared when flooding is on the verge of happening or is already underway.
Flood advisory: Be aware:
A flood advisory is released when flooding is not expected to reach a severity level necessitating a warning. Nonetheless, it can still cause considerable inconvenience and, without exercising caution, potentially lead to situations that threaten life and/or property.
Flood watch: Be prepared:
A flood watch is issued when conditions are favorable for flooding. It does not mean flooding will occur, but it is possible.
When floods strike: Guidelines from the weather service for your protection
In flood-prone regions or while camping in low-lying areas, understanding and following the weather service flood safety guidelines can be a lifesaver:
Seek higher ground:
If you reside in a flood-prone region or are camping in low-lying terrain, the first step to safety is relocating to higher ground.
Adhere to evacuation orders:
If local authorities issue an evacuation order, heed it promptly. Prior to leaving, secure your home by locking it.
Disconnect utilities and appliances:
If time permits, disconnect your utilities and appliances. This precaution minimizes electrical hazards during flooding.
Steer clear of flooded basements and submerged areas:
Avoid basements or rooms submerged in water with electrical outlets or cords. Preventing electrical accidents is crucial.
Swift evacuation for your safety:
If you notice sparks or hear buzzing, crackling, snapping, or popping sounds, evacuate without delay. Do not enter water that may carry an electrical charge.
Refrain from walking in floodwaters:
Never attempt to walk through floodwaters. Even just 6 inches of swiftly moving water can forcefully knock you off your feet.
Seek higher ground when trapped:
Should you become trapped by moving water, reach the highest point possible and dial 911 to contact emergency services.
During periods of heavy rainfall, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas, the risk of flooding escalates. Remember this crucial advice: never attempt to drive through water on the road, even if it appears shallow. According to the weather service, as little as 12 inches of rapidly flowing water can carry away most vehicles. Prioritize your safety by staying informed and prepared.
Navigating heavy rain: Essential safety measures for wet roads
When heavy rain strikes, safety is paramount. Equip yourself with these guidelines from the weather service to navigate wet roads and avoid hazards:
Beware of rapid water flow:
In heavy rain, refrain from parking or walking near culverts or drainage ditches, where swift-moving water can pose a grave danger.
Maintain safe driving distances:
Use the two-second rule to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you and allow an extra two seconds in heavy rain.
Reduce speed and drive cautiously:
On wet roads, reducing your speed is crucial. Ease off the gas pedal gradually and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.
Choose your lane wisely:
Stay toward the middle lanes – water tends to pool in the outside lanes.
Visibility matters:
Turn on your headlights and be careful of other vehicles to the rear and in blind spot areas as they are especially difficult to see through rain-spattered windows.
Watch out for slippery roads:
The first half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mix of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.
Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:
Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.
Mind your windshield wipers:
Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility. If rain severely limits your sight, pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Seek refuge at rest areas or protected spots.
When stopping by the roadside is your only option, position your vehicle as far off the road as possible, ideally beyond guardrails. Keep your headlights on and activate emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.
By following these safety measures, you can significantly reduce risks and ensure your well-being when heavy rain pours down. Stay informed about weather conditions and heed advice from local authorities to make your journey safe and sound.

Dozens of expectant mothers in the Montgomery area had an opportunity to meet directly with pediatricians and representatives from a variety of child and family health organizations during a “community baby shower.”
Multiple organizations were on hand to answer questions and share information about maternal health, early childhood development and family support services to new and expectant mothers.
“It really was a good day and the moms all left with some good resources,” Dawn Owens, director of the Montgomery Bold Goals Campaign, told AL.com. “They were so appreciative of everything.”
Owens said Saturday was the first time the initiative had come to Montgomery following earlier events in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.
All attendees received diapers, wipes, sanitary products and books. The parents were also able to enroll in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which provides free books to children from birth to age 5.
“There were moms and dads there and they had great questions,” Owens said. “To be able to be close to experts who have the information that you need is so valuable.”

Mastering wet roads: Safety tips for heavy rainfall
When heavy rain strikes, safety is paramount. Equip yourself with these guidelines from the weather service to navigate wet roads and avoid hazards:
Beware of swollen waterways:
In heavy rain, refrain from parking or walking near culverts or drainage ditches, where swift-moving water can pose a grave danger.
Maintain safe driving distances:
Use the two-second rule to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you and allow an extra two seconds in heavy rain.
Slow down and drive with care:
On wet roads, reducing your speed is crucial. Ease off the gas pedal gradually and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.
Choose your lane wisely:
Stay toward the middle lanes – water tends to pool in the outside lanes.
Prioritize visibility:
Turn on your headlights and be careful of other vehicles to the rear and in blind spot areas as they are especially difficult to see through rain-spattered windows.
Watch out for slippery roads:
The initial half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mixture of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.
Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:
Don’t follow large trucks or buses too closely. The spray created by their large tires reduces your vision. Take care when passing them as well; if you must pass, do so quickly and safely.
Mind your windshield wipers:
Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility. If rain severely limits your sight, pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Seek refuge at rest areas or protected spots.
If the roadside is your only option, pull off as far as possible, preferably past the end of a guard rail, and wait until the storm passes. Keep your headlights on and turn on emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.
In the face of heavy rain, these precautions can make a significant difference in ensuring your safety on the road. Remember to stay informed about weather conditions and heed guidance from local authorities for a secure journey.

The National Weather Service issued a weather alert at 5:46 p.m. on Saturday for strong thunderstorms until 6:30 p.m. for Marion County.
Residents may experience wind gusts of up to 40 mph.
“At 5:46 p.m., Doppler radar tracked a strong thunderstorm near Guin, or 7 miles south of Hamilton, moving east at 15 mph,” states the weather service. “Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects.”
Locations impacted by the alert include Hamilton, Winfield, Guin, Brilliant, Glen Allen, Gu-Win, Lake Buttahatchee, Twin, Tucker, Pearces Mill, Texas, Marion County Public Lake, Piney Grove and Pikeville.
The weather service comments, “If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm and may lead to localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways. Frequent cloud to ground lightning is occurring with this storm. Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. Seek a safe shelter inside a building or vehicle.”
Staying safe as lightning approaches: Expert advice
Lightning strikes the United States approximately 25 million times each year, with the bulk of these electrical discharges occurring during the summer months. Tragically, lightning claims the lives of about 20 individuals annually, as reported by the weather service. The risk of lightning-related incidents escalates as thunderstorms draw near, reaching its peak when the storm directly looms overhead. However, it gradually recedes as the tempest moves away.
To protect yourself during a thunderstorm, take these recommendations into consideration:
Lightning safety plan:
When venturing outdoors, it’s vital to establish a clear plan for seeking shelter in case of lightning.
Stay vigilant by monitoring the sky for ominous signs and listening for the telltale sound of thunder. If thunder is audible, it’s a clear indication of nearby lightning.
Seek shelter promptly in a safe location, preferably indoors.
Indoors safety measures:
Once you’ve found shelter indoors, abstain from using corded phones, electrical appliances, or plumbing fixtures, and refrain from approaching windows and doors.
Lightning can follow conductive pathways, and these precautions reduce the risk of electrical surges.
Wait for the all-clear:
After the last lightning strike or thunderclap, wait at least 30 minutes before resuming outdoor activities.
Lightning can strike even when a storm has seemingly passed, so exercise caution.
When indoor shelter isn’t available:
If you find yourself outdoors with no access to indoor shelter during a thunderstorm, take these steps to maximize your safety:
Avoid open fields, hilltops, or ridge crests, which expose you to greater lightning risk.
Steer clear of tall, isolated trees and other prominent objects. In wooded areas, stay close to lower stands of trees.
If you’re with a group, ensure individuals are spread out to prevent lightning current from transferring between people.
Camping in an open setting during a thunderstorm is strongly discouraged. If no alternative exists, set up camp in a valley, ravine, or other low-lying areas. Remember that a tent offers no protection against lightning.
Do not approach water bodies, wet objects, or metal items. While water and metal don’t attract lightning, they conduct electricity effectively and can pose significant risks.
In summary, when facing the threat of lightning, vigilance and preparedness are your best allies. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the chances of lightning-related accidents and prioritize your safety.
Mastering wet roads: Safety tips for heavy rainfall
When heavy rain strikes, safety is paramount. Equip yourself with these guidelines from the weather service to navigate wet roads and avoid hazards:
Beware of swollen waterways:
Avoid parking or walking in close proximity to culverts or drainage ditches, as the swiftly moving water during heavy rain can potentially carry you away.
Maintain safe driving distances:
The two-second rule for following distance is your ally in heavy rain. Extend it to four seconds to ensure safe spacing in adverse conditions.
Reduce speed and drive cautiously:
On wet roads, reducing your speed is crucial. Ease off the gas pedal gradually and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.
Choose your lane wisely:
Stick to the middle lanes on multi-lane roads to minimize the risk of hydroplaning, as water tends to accumulate in outer lanes.
Visibility matters:
Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by activating your headlights. Be particularly vigilant for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.
Watch out for slippery roads:
The first half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mix of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.
Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:
Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.
Mind your windshield wipers:
Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility. If rain severely impairs your vision, pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Seek refuge at rest areas or sheltered spots.
When stopping by the roadside is your only option, position your vehicle as far off the road as possible, ideally beyond guardrails. Keep your headlights on and activate emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.
In the face of heavy rain, these precautions can make a significant difference in ensuring your safety on the road. Remember to stay informed about weather conditions and heed guidance from local authorities for a secure journey.
