Star Michigan Defender Posts Aidan Hutchinson Style Video Marking Return From ACL Injury

Last season was one with plenty of ups and downs for coach Sherrone Moore's Michigan Wolverines in Moore's first season as the team started off hot against Fresno State before getting drubbed by the Texas Longhorns and recovering to win eight games on the season.
The Wolverines' underwhelming performance boiled down to two main factors: injuries and spotty quarterback play, as Michigan's Wink Martindale led defense was often forced to stay on the field for much of the game, getting stop after stop.

On Tuesday, Wolverines Nation got an update from one of the team's most effective defensive players, defensive back Rod Moore, who shared a video that might remind Michigan and Lions fans of Aidan Hutchinson's recent social media posts.

"#Michigan DB Rod Moore posts on IG his first time running on ground in 14 months," reporter Brice Marich wrote on X.
"Great to see."
Moore also included a message in his Instagram post.
"First time running on ground in 14 months thank you God," Moore wrote with a pair of praying hands.
Moore was shown wearing a knee brace, a troubling development for fans expecting the brace to be off by this point in his rehab.

"There's no way he plays this season that sucks," one fan said.
"Damn. That was a messed up injury," another added.
"This seems like a super long recovery for an ACL tear, anybody know why?" another asked. "Did he have complications from his recovery?"
"Good to see. Clearly not playing in 2025 though," another added about Moore after watching the video.

Houston Rockets have second-best NBA title odds at sportsbooks after Kevin Durant trade

Before Game 7 of this year's NBA Finals tipped off, the NBA world was stunned by a Kevin Durant blockbuster deal, sending him to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in next week's 2025 NBA draft and five second-round picks. It also sent a shockwave through the odds board at sportsbooks, as the Rockets moved from the 12-1 range to around +750 to win the 2025-26 NBA championship. Those are the consensus second-best odds behind the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are well ahead of any other team at +230. Advertisement "Good trade for Phoenix, adding Jalen Green and the 10th pick is the right direction," Jeff Sherman, vice president of risk at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook told Yahoo Sports via text message. "We lowered Houston from 12-1 to +900 just based on perception. They should be in the mix no doubt, I just like the return for Phoenix better than what the Rockets got in a 37-year-old they have to extend." The New York Knicks (+900), Indiana Pacers (+950) and Cleveland Cavaliers (11-1) had the next-best consensus title odds at sportsbooks. "Having someone who can score in the half court was exactly what Houston was lacking all season, and it cost them dearly in the playoffs," Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at The Borgata in Atlantic City (a BetMGM book) told Yahoo Sports via text. "While this will be Durant's 18th season, he can still generate offense in the half court, even if he doesn't get to the basket as much as he used to. He should help a very young Rockets team, even if it's only a short stint." Advertisement Sherman and other oddsmakers did have Houston as the second-best team in the West in their power ratings, but cautioned the ranking was simply as of today's trade, noting, for example, if San Antonio traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo that could vault them to No. 2. "We slightly lowered the Rockets' title odds," Jeff Benson, director of sportsbook operations at Circa Sports said via direct message on X. "They upgraded and didn't give up a ton, especially the good young guys." The +750 odds are the best for the Rockets since the 2019 season, per Sports Odds History, when Houston was +700.
