The New York Giants are adding former Dallas Cowboys running back Phil Mafah to the practice squad, the team announced Monday.
Following the incredible upset win over the Cowboys to begin the season, the Giants add some depth to the running back room behind Cam Skattebo.
A former seventh-round pick with the Cowboys during the 2025 NFL draft, Mafah has only appeared in one career game since entering the league. He has five carries for 18 rushing yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions on two targets for 11 receiving yards.
The Giants aren't planning to make any major changes to the running back room. While Skattebo will lead the way, there was a clear rotation with Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr in the backfield. Najee Harris was a healthy scratch in Week 1.
In other roster news, the Giants waived wide receiver Dalen Cambre from the roster.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders was not in the mood to celebrate a 31-point victory Saturday.
The Buffaloes moved to 2-0 with a 52-21 win over Weber State at Folsom Field. Still, Sanders arrived in the media room focused on the points Colorado left on the field, 13 penalties, special teams mistakes and an offensive performance he felt had another level available.
Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns while accounting for five total scores, and running back Micah Welch became the first Buff to rush for 100 yards in a game since 2022. Sanders praised the playmakers who contributed, though the consistent message after the rout remained the same: make the Buffaloes a team capable of winning and dominating.
Here is everything Sanders said following Colorado football's win over Weber State.
"We only scored 52 points," Sanders said. "It should've been a lot more. We're not satisfied with the outcome."

Here's everything Houston Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke said on Thursday ahead of Week 1's matchup against the Buffalo Bills, including his thoughts on running back James Cook, containing MVP quarterback Josh Allen and the play of the young defensive linemen making their NFL debut.
Q: On what he wants to prevent Bills QB Josh Allen from doing Week 1
Matt Burke: "Score touchdowns and complete passes. He's a great player, dangerous throughout the play. He has a history of making off schedule plays and extending plays and creating explosives off that, which is obviously a thing we've talked about a lot. I think the usual stuff of just trying to keep him from working his magic and he's got a lot of it. Obviously, he has the big arm. We've been working a lot on trying to limit explosives and there's different ways those things show up. I think that's a big starting point with their offense and with Josh especially, just his ability to make huge plays in the passing game and the running game, to be honest with you, is where we've got to start."
Q: On Bills WR DJ Moore
Burke: "Explosive receiver, great with the ball in his [Bills QB DJ Moore] hands. They've created a lot of explosives with run after the catch in the pass. He is another guy that fits in that mold, but then also can get vertical down the field. I played him a few years ago when he was in Chicago when we were here one of those night games. They have a very good group of skill players and he just adds another element, another weapon that we've got to be ready to defend."

The new ownership at the Los Angeles Angels cannot come quick enough for supporters as another season without a playoff berth has been confirmed.
It has been a dismal season for the Angels, who sit rock bottom of the AL West, which has been far from impressive this year.
A 54-90 record has seen the Angels ruled out of playoff contention ahead of Stan Kroenke's proposed takeover.
The Houston Astros are currently sat top of the division with a record only just over .500 through their 73-71 record.
It is a division that is there for the taking under new ownership, but, for now, unwanted records are being created by the Angels.

Combat sports are a harsh place, especially for legends.
One of the most accomplished Muay Thai fighters and kickboxers of his generation, Sitthichai is a former Glory Kickboxing lightweight champion and Lumpinee welterweight champion, among many other accomplishments in striking sports. However, the last few years have been unkind to the 34-year-old Thai fighter as he lost four of his final five fights in ONE Championship, and has gone winless since leaving the promotion last year.
Perhaps the worst of those losses happened on Saturday when Sitthichai got brutally knocked out by Taimu Hisai at Knockout 68: Knockin' on the World in Yokohama, ****** an.
While Sitthichai has been stopped in a couple of his recent bouts, those losses came from body shots. This time, the 20-year-old Hisai, who stepped in on short notice and moved up a weight class to take the fight, slept the legend with a brutal uppercut that not only knocked him out cold but literally took him off his feet.
Check out the devastating highlight below.

Jones football coaches have pretty much come to the expectation that the defense is going to win games for the Tigers, at least in the early part of the season.
That was quite evident at Evans on Saturday afternoon in this year's edition of the Soul Bowl. The Jones defense came up with a third-quarter goal-line stand, had seven sacks and added an interception, wreaking havoc on the Trojans' offense in a 12-6 victory.
"I had to do my thing. I had to push the guard back and clog the hole, make a play for our team," said Jones defensive lineman Noah Robinson, a UCF commit.
Robinson had one solo sack, and ganged up with Fred Ards and Dominique Redding on a crucial sack on the first play of a last-ditch fourth-quarter Evans drive with 1:18 left in the game. The loss of six yards on that sack turned out to be quite important as Evans drove down the field inside one minute left in the game, but the Trojans' drive stalled out at the 18-yard line as time expired.
Ards, a Texas A&M commit, had three solo sacks, and safety Rikelson Docteur and linebacker Andre James Jr. also had sacks.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – There's a lot of talk regarding the New England Patriots' depth at the edge position.
After signing Dre'Mont Jones this offseason, it became clear throughout the summer that Elijah Ponder would be playing opposite him. But behind them are two rookies: Gabe Jacas and Quintayvious Hutchins.
However, while the public might be concerned, the feeling inside the room is nothing but confidence and determination.
"I have a lot of confidence. We got a lot of young, talented players that are ready to compete and ready to show themselves, and you got to appreciate that," Jones told Patriots Wire in a one-on-one conversation on Thursday. "We want to see how the season goes, obviously, but I think there's a lot of confidence and a lot to be positive about moving forward."
They've heard a bit of the noise, but are ready to prove everyone wrong.

Football season is on the horizon, and for the Oklahoma Sooners, it starts on a Friday.
Norman Public Schools and the University of Oklahoma already announced in-person class closures for that day due to expected heavy traffic, so it's safe to say anyone going to the game may want to plan ahead.
OU released a new game day driving maps and recommended protocols to improve traffic flow in Norman, particularly around the stadium. The map was developed alongside the Norman and OU police departments.
The map shows preferred routes to multiple parking lots and road closures.
Here is what OU recommends fans do to avoid delays and reduce stress.

CBF president Samir Xaud visited Pedro Pedrossian Stadium, known as Morenão, in Campo Grande on the morning of this Wednesday (2), on the eve of the inauguration of the Football Development Center of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Opened in 1971 and with a capacity of more than 40,000 fans, the main stage of football in Mato Grosso do Sul is receiving an investment of around R$ 1 million from the CBF to revitalize the pitch.
Xaud was accompanied by the president of the Mato Grosso do Sul Football Federation (FFMS), Estevâo Petrallás, who presented the stadium's history and detailed the progress of the work, as well as the president of the Mato Grosso Football Federation (FMF), Diogo Pécora, and the State Secretary of Tourism, Sports and Culture (Setesc), Alessandro Menezes.

In an interview with CBF TV, the CBF president commented on the importance of the institutional agenda in Mato Grosso do Sul and praised the history and renovation work at Morenão. The stadium has also hosted Brazil national team matches: a 1-1 draw with Paraguay on February 27, 1991, in a friendly; and a goalless draw with Venezuela on October 14, 2009, in the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup.
"Today we began our institutional visit to Mato Grosso do Sul, continuing our work toward more participatory management and closer ties with the federations. We are here at Morenão, a stadium with a history shared by the entire state population, and where the CBF has provided funds to help revitalize the stadium, including replacing the pitch, irrigation and drainage. For us, it is another joy to work to help Brazilian football as a whole and the smaller federations," he said.

New Boston College head coach Luke Murray has outlined plans to bring over many aspects of the UConn men's basketball program, from the Huskies' deliberate offensive approach to instilling a collective, team-first approach.
Murray placed the finishing touches on his debut coaching staff in Chestnut Hill over the past week, bringing yet more UConn flavor to his new home. The 41-year-old, first-time head coach hired three staff members with Connecticut ties last week, and on Monday afternoon, Murray hired Jared Terrell as a graduate ****** istant, one of Dan Hurley's best players during his time at Rhode Island.
Terrell, a consensus top-100 recruit out of Brewster Academy, marked a major early win for Hurley during his time in Rhode Island. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard shattered his lofty expectations with nearly 1,800 career points and a standout senior season, averaging 16.8 points on over 41% shooting from 3-point range for a Rhode Island squad that reeled off 16 straight wins and reached the NCAA Tournament Second Round. Terrell played one season on a two-way contract with Minnesota after he was not picked in the 2018 NBA Draft and made international stops in Turkey, Ukraine and Israel before his 2023 retirement.
As for Murray's other additions, Chris Mastrangelo arrives in Chestnut Hill as the Director of Basketball Administration after seven seasons with UConn, rising from student manager to the ****** istant Director of Basketball Operations. Andre Berry, who also played under Hurley in Rhode Island, joins Murray's staff as a player development ****** istant after graduating from UConn with a master's degree in sports management two years ago.
Hartford native Jared Jordan, who won national ****** ist ****** les at Marist in consecutive seasons and was selected in the 2007 NBA Draft, also joins the Boston College staff as Director of Player Development. Jordan, a Kingswood-Oxford graduate, enjoyed a 13-year playing career, largely in Europe, where he remains the all-time ****** ist leader in the German Bundesliga.

MARLETTE — Both Centreville and Mendon were able to win this past week, earning 1-0 records as they each started the season.
The Mendon Hornets hit the road on Friday night, making the lengthy trip up to the Thumb and coming home with a 46-8 win over the Red Raiders.
"Solid Week 1 performance for us," Mendon coach Bobby Kretschman said. "Played a very clean game offensively and took care of the ball and outside of one long TD run, we played sound defense."
The Hornets scored first in the game, it came during the opening quarter. Zak Iobe found the end zone, this came on a 17-yard scamper to get on the board first.
Iobe would score three more times in the game — a 25-yard run and a 4-yard run in the second quarter plus a 51-yard run in the third quarter. Xavior Zinsmaster scored on a 35-yard TD run late in the contest as well.

Kansas City Chiefs players Wesley Bissainthe and Omari Evans could get another chance to play college football after a recent court ruling involving the NCAA. Both players went undrafted in 2026 but later joined the Chiefs as free agents. The ruling has opened the door for players in their situation to regain college eligibility.
The case comes from a dispute over NCAA eligibility rules and an extra year of college football. A judge temporarily blocked restrictions that could have prevented the players from returning.
Chiefs' undrafted free agents Wesley Bissainthe and Omari Evans now have a chance to return to college football. The case reached court after several athletes challenged NCAA rules that could prevent them from going back to college sports. The NCAA and several major conferences had opposed the return of players who had entered a professional draft, signed with a professional team or appeared on a pro roster. The players argued that briefly moving into professional football should not cost them their college eligibility.
On Thursday, a Texas judge issued a 14-day restraining order. The order prevents the NCAA, SEC and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey from blocking 41 athletes from returning to college sports for another season. Wesley Bissainthe and Omari Evans are among those athletes, along with Dallas Cowboys receiver Jordan Hudson.

The Mets recorded just three hits in an 8-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night.
-- Sean Manaea didn't have it against the Brewers' bats, allowing four runs through the first two innings and six overall on the night over 5.2 IP. It's his first start less than six innings since July 18 and the first time he's allowed six earned runs since April 29.
Jackson Chourio had his number all night long, singling on the first pitch of the game and scoring in a two-run first inning. Then in the second inning, a poor throw to first base with two outs extended the inning for Chourio to go deep and make it 4-0.
Manaea settled down for scoreless third and fourth innings, but Chourio singled to lead off the fifth and eventually came around to score on a groundout. He let up another lead off hit in the sixth as Joey Ortiz tripled off the wall in center, and then Cooper Pratt drove him in on a sacrifice fly to push the lead to 6-2. The lefty's night ended after allowing a double, having thrown 95 pitches.
-- Meanwhile, Jacob Misiorowski retired the first seven Mets he faced (three strikeouts) before walking Christopher Morel with one away in the third inning. The muddy mound began to cause the young star to slip a bit, as manager Pat Murphy came out to tell the umpires it's becoming an issue. The righty slipped again on a fastball to Francisco Alvarez, but got the inning-ending double play.

If Claremore intends to make a championship run, it won't have to wait until the playoffs to find out how it measures up.
Coach Jarrett Hurt considers the Zebras' nondistrict slate one of the toughest he has encountered in his 11 years with the program.
It begins immediately in Week Zero against Sallisaw, a perennial Class 4A playoff contender capable of providing Claremore with an early measuring stick.
"They've definitely got our attention," Hurt said, noting the Black Diamonds were a 21-20 loss to Ada from winning the district ******* le. "Their quarterback is back, they've got a great tailback, several good skill kids and very impressive linemen, so we know that's going to be a tough, tough game."
The difficulty only increases from there.

Lonergan, who transferred to Rutgers this past offseason following a season at Boston College, beat out AJ Surace to win the job.
The former Alabama quarterback was originally a member of the Crimson Tide's 2023 recruiting class, and went on to play two seasons in Tuscaloosa as a backup. Lonergan saw action in only three games from 2023-24, completing 7-of-8 passes for 35 yards, along with rushing for 21 yards on two attempts.
Following the 2024 campaign, Lonergan entered the NCAA transfer portal where he eventually committed to Boston College. Lonergan ended up enjoying a breakout season a year ago at Boston College, completing 66.9% of passes for 2,025 yards and a 12:5 TD:INT ratio across 10 games prior to entering the transfer portal at seasons end for the second time.
Rutgers' 2026 season is set to begin Thursday, Sept. 3, at home against UMass. The Scarlet Knights will also travel to Boston College in Week 2.

OAK HILL, WV (WVNS) - The injury bug tore through the Oak Hill Red Devils in their first season competing in AAAA.
Oak Hill started with a 3-1 record before things began to take a turn. The Red Devils then stumbled to a .500 record before losing to George Washington in round 1 of the playoffs.
Health has since become a primary focus for the program this offseason.
SZ+: 4 local rising soccer stars compete in Europe; Concord Men's Soccer braces for banner year
"Weak things break and if your bodies weak, it's going to break this season, but all our kids, all our starters, all our older guys, they have bought into the weight room program and they've bulked their bodies up better this year for a full ten game slate – hopefully 11 and further. Hopefully the guys put in enough work internally and externally to actually survive the season," said Head Coach Davon Marion.

The Green Bay Packers' offensive line has become a constant topic of conversation in recent seasons, as the coaches relentlessly mix and match their linemen with the goal of finding the best combination.
Entering training camp this year, it seemed reasonably cut and dry, with Jordan Morgan, Aaron Banks, Sean Rhyan, Anthony Belton and Zach Bako-Bewele expected to be the starting five.
Instead, it has turned into a legitimate competition at both guard spots, and Belton, a second-round pick from last year, seems to be fighting an uphill battle to win the right guard job over rookie fifth-round pick Jager Burton and former fifth-rounder Jacob Monk.
Green Bay's coaches have talked plenty about how Belton's acclimation to the guard position as a rookie was not helped by repping almost exclusively at tackle throughout camp, and the idea was that this summer he would get a proper runway on the interior.
That has not really happened. Mostly due to Bako-Bewele working his way back from injury, Belton has again spent much of camp at right tackle, and quite frankly, has struggled.

File under "stupid publicity stunt that I shouldn't even be writing about, but here I am, writing about it."
Last week, former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White demanded they be officially declared eligible for the 2027 WNBA draft. White, who recently lost the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith, has claimed to be transgender and argued that he should be allowed to play in the women's league. "I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of … professional basketball," he told Fox News.
White also posted pictures of himself wearing a wig, stating that he was embracing his "feminine era."
Designed to mock the trans community and troll the organization and its inclusion and self-identification policies, the former NBA players suggested they would take legal action if blocked from the WNBA draft.
They're among the legions of attention seekers, influencers, news media and activists taking sides in a culture war over something that's not even close to happening: the WNBA's inclusion of transgender athletes. To be clear, no transgender players are slated to become part of the league's roster. A right-wing uproar over an imagined threat. Where have we seen this before?

There's no such thing as a bad one-year deal. It's an old baseball axiom that has remained true for quite some time, even if some cases tend to test that theory. This is one such case, as it's become very clear that the Ha-Seong Kim one-year deal hasn't worked out anywhere near the level to where both parties figured it would once they agreed to the one-year, $20 million deal during the offseason.
During the series recap for the Diamondbacks series, I mentioned that Ha-Seong Kim had made "progress" after he recorded his fourth RBI of the season during that blowout loss on Saturday to Arizona. Not his fourth RBI of the game — his fourth of the season. I would never lie to you on the internet, so here's video proof!
This was his first RBI since June 3 and that only came after he had what looks like a hot streak in comparison back in late-May, which is when he picked up two RBI in a three-game span. That is absolutely anemic in terms of counting stats.
Somehow, Kim's four RBI don't have him in last place among hitters with at least 80 plate appearances. Four other players have made at least 80 plate appearances and have produced fewer RBI than Kim has done so far this season. With that being said, some of the stats that Kim has put up this season have truly got to be seen to be believed.
Among batters with at least 80 plate appearances, he's last in Isolated Power (.000), he's last in BABIP (.094), he's last in batting average (.066), he's next-to-last in On-Base Percentage (.165), he's last in slugging percentage (.066), he's last in wOBA (.126), he's in a three-way tie for next-t0-last in xwOBA (.207) and he's last in wRC+ with a scarcely-believable 29 wRC+. This is astonishing.

MackenzieDern believes she needs to improve a lot.
Dern put her Ultimate Fighting Championship strawweight **** le on the linefor the first time against GillianRobertson in the co-main event of UFC330. She outclassed Robertson in every facet to earn aunanimous decision win, but still isn't happy with herperformance.
The strawweight champion believes she needs to work on her cardio,endurance, striking and grappling. While Dern credits Robertson'stoughness, she believes she should have finished her counterpart.According to Dern, her performance might not have sufficed againsta surging contender.
"I'm not happy with my performance," Dern told Ariel Helwani. "Iwish I did better. I wasn't happy with my cardio, my endurance. Iwasn't happy with my striking. I wasn't happy with my grappling. Iwasn't happy. I should have done a lot of that stuff better. Ishould have finished that fight, honestly. Obviously, Gillian isvery tough too… If I fought that performance against someone elsecoming up, that wouldn't be good."
Dern won the vacant **** le against VirnaJandiroba last year after former champ Weili Zhangvacated the **** le and moved up. She is now looking to defend hertitle against Zhang, TatianaSuarez, or LupitaGodinez next.

Trevoh Chalobah ended his near 20-year ****** ociation with Chelsea by joining Como 1907 this summer, but his journey through his boyhood club taught him one thing above all - resilience.
You only need to look at the England defender's career to see how the 27-year-old managed to fulfill his dream of playing for Chelsea while also overcoming plenty of setbacks.
He went from crying in the car because he did not feel good enough while playing alongside Mason Mount and Declan Rice during his childhood at the Cobham academy, to being left out of first-team training as a member of the so-called "bomb squad" under former boss Enzo Maresca in 2024, before being made available for transfer and sent out on loan.
Each time, Chalobah bounced back to become a regular starter for Chelsea.
He was recalled from a loan spell at Crystal Palace in January 2025 and ultimately made 151 appearances for the Blues before completing a £31m move to Italy to join Serie A side Como under manager Cesc Fabregas last week.

Scottie Scheffler has drawn plenty of Tiger Woods comparisons in recent years, and in one facet, he's about to surpass him.
Scheffler is on the verge of becoming No. 1 in official career earnings on the PGA Tour. With his victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scheffler is only $1.04 million from overtaking Woods atop the money mountain.
The current world No. 1 collected $3.6 million from his 21st PGA Tour ***** le to surpass Rory McIlroy for No. 2 on the list. Scheffler is now at $119,964,411. Woods, who has held the top spot since Feb. 13, 2000, stands at $120,999,166.
McIlroy finished 66th in Memphis, Tennessee, and is now at $116,488,972.
These totals do not include bonus money — of which Scheffler and McIlroy have accumulated tens of millions more in recent years — only official earnings from PGA Tour tournaments.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward-center Isaiah Hartenstein is back with Germany's senior national team, making it clear that his return is about far more than just adding another chapter to his international career. After more than eight years away from the program, the 28-year-old big is excited to represent Germany once again, having last worn the national team jersey back in February 2018 during a FIBA World Cup 2019 Qualifiers matchup against Georgia. "I'm really happy," he stated in a recent interview with German media outlet Basketball World. "I actually wanted to play for the last two years."
