Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell suffered a "minor" injury in a shooting just after midnight Sunday, the team confirmed. "We have been made aware that Tank Dell was a victim of a shooting in Sanford, Fla., last night," the Texans said in a statement Sunday afternoon. "He sustained a minor wound but has been released from the hospital and he is in good spirits. We are in contact with him and his family and will provide more updates when appropriate but we ask that you please respect his privacy at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the incident." Dell was one of 10 people wounded in a shooting outside of a nightclub, according to media reports from Florida. The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said none of the victims' injuries are life-threatening. A 16-year-old was arrested and charged with attempted homicide and other charges. The venue said in a Facebook post that it was rented out for a private event Saturday night and the owners are still gathering information. Dell, 24, is a native of nearby Daytona Beach. He had a strong rookie season in 2023, with 47 receptions for 709 yards and seven touchdowns over his first 11 games (eight starts), but he suffered a broken leg early in a Week 12 game against Denver and missed the rest of the season. --Field Level Media

Biden and Netanyahu speak as pressure's on Israel over planned Rafah invasion and cease-fire talks
The White House says U.S. President Joe Biden has again spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Pressure is building on Israel and Hamas to reach a deal that would free some Israeli hostages and bring a cease-fire in the war in Gaza. The White House says Biden reiterated his “clear position” as Israel plans to invade Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah despite global concern for more than 1 million Palestinians sheltering there. The U.S. opposes the invasion on humanitarian grounds. Israel is among the countries U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit as he returns to the Middle East on Monday.

From ancient fertilizer methods in Zimbabwe to new greenhouse technology in Somalia, farmers across the heavily agriculture-reliant African continent are looking both to the past and future to respond to climate change. Africa has the world’s youngest population. It is seeing the worst effects of a warming planet while contributing the least to the problem. Farmers are scrambling to make sure the booming population is fed. Some are turning to traditional foods that had been long dismissed as weeds or neglected in favor of imports. Others embrace new planting methods and varieties. One new bean's side benefit is less flatulence.
