Alabama football is getting more healthy by the day.
Alabama offensive lineman Michael Carroll, who missed the Kentucky win Saturday, Sept. 12 with an undisclosed injury, will continue to work with the intention of playing against Florida State, DeBoer said.
"I feel confident that we'll get there. We'll just kind of have to see how the week goes, but I think it's heading in the right direction," DeBoer said. "Hope to get him back."
Running back AK Dear, DeBoer said, is "making good progress" in recovering from a lower-body injury. Dear was doing light practice late last week before Kentucky. Dear has not appeared in a game in 2026.
"His mindset's been awesome with what he had injury wise to just the recovery and response," DeBoer said. "His mindset's helped him come back even quicker."

By the end of the third inning, Friday's game against the Padres didn't seem to promise much of a contest. The tally: 7-1 in favor of the visiting San Diegans after a barrage of extra basehits and two-out knocks. A
nthony Molina, who looked somewhat sharp in the 1st with two strikeouts with his four-seam, ran out of ideas in the 2nd and 3rd. He pressed hard on that fastball and the Padres bats welcomed it. Jackson Merrill bounced an outside fastball over the wall for a ground-rule double to start the 2nd. Molina retired the next two hitters he faced but couldn't find a way out of the frame cleanly. Dustin Harris deflected another elevated fastball to score Merrill. Freddy Fermin punched another 340 feet, easily scoring Harris from first.
Molina tried to adapt, shifting off his primary weapon his second time through the San Diego order, but nothing worked. Jake Cronenworth set the tone in the 3rd with a feisty 8-pitch scuffle that ended with a 107 MPH single off a change-up. Luis Campusano plated him by punishing a hanging slider. That double would be the first of four RBI extra base knocks in the inning. Seven Padres reached, five scored in all. Molina became less as a road-block and more as a facilitator, the operator of a fast food drive-thru, the In-N-Out at Tejon Ranch, taking each hitter's order, efficiently moving the high-volume of customers from window to window before sending them on their way with exactly what they asked for.

As Molina's fortunes plummeted, San Diego starter, Robbie Ray, making his first start against the Giants since his trade, steadied himself after a prolonged 1st inning.

CANNONSBURG After ninety minutes of intense, goalless soccer, Boyd County coach Levi Pennington still needed five guys for an energized ending.
Ashland and the Lions battled to nil-nil after two halves and two overtime periods. Each player on the pitch had done their part to empower their team, but work remained to determine a victor.
Bracken Peters sent the closing delivery inside the left post and supplied the final point in kicks from the mark for a 1-0 victory over the Tomcats in a 63rd District seeding match Thursday.
"(Thursday night), the (shootout) lineup changed based on how the game was going," Boyd County coach Levi Pennington said, "with body language and players. I felt like some of our guys were more gassed than normal. I pushed them a little further down the list and let their legs get back under them. I told them it's nothing against you, but it's next man up right now."
Ashland's freshman keeper, Karson Freeman, denied Boyd County's first attempt to help the Tomcats grab a quick advantage in the shootout. The visitors' second try clanged off the crossbar, and Zeke Withrow calmly blasted the next shot through to the twine to tie the session.

Lions get totally hosed in offensive line ranking originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Detroit Lions are widely considered to have a strong offense this season. They have stars like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams ready to go for another season, as well as quarterback Jared Goff. What's not to like about this crew?
But, one NFL ******* yst isn't buying it. His placement for the Lions' offense is really a head-scratcher. So, it should give the team a little more motivation going into their first game of the regular season on Sunday against the Saints.
PFF has released its official 2026 NFL offensive line rankings going into the new season, and the Lions are No. 19. They're actually lower than the Las Vegas Raiders, who had a 3-14 record last season.
So, what's the problem? Gordon McGuinness of PFF explains that it comes down to injuries. One really stands out.

Lamine Yamal struck twice for Barcelona as they demolished Valencia 5-0 on Sunday to maintain their 100 percent start in La Liga.
The reigning champions moved three points clear at the top of La Liga, after Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid lost 1-0 at Real Betis on Friday.
Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and Pedri were also on target for Hansi Flick's swaggering visitors on a hot afternoon on Spain's east coast.
Yamal did not take part in the team training session on Saturday after a knock but showed no signs of it during a dazzling display against Carlos Corberan's Los Che.
Barcelona, the only team in the top flight to win their first four games, took control from the start to the upset of Valencia's fans at a persistently bad-tempered Mestalla stadium.

Borussia Dortmund did it the hard way today in only their second match of the season. Away to Hoffenheim, the Black and Yellows went two goals behind, leaving it all to do with thirty minutes to play. Waldemar Anton took charge, sporting the captain's armband, blasting through the Hoffenheim defense at a lax moment to nick a loose ball and square it for Serhou Guirassy, who got the comeback started. BVB would find two further goals from Fabio Silva, and an own goal created by some intelligent interplay between Silva and Nwaneri.
The defense today was… not exactly sterling. The injury to Mane unsettled the back line, and despite some bright spots specifically from Gadou in progression, there were also some calamitous errors that gave Hoffenheim control of the momentum. Anton has been given the tricky task of leading a young, inexperienced back line. Gadou and Mane are talented, but they are both really in their first seasons of top flight football. Anton needs to keep them in check and handle his defensive duties as well. It's a lot of responsibity for BVB's stand-in captain. Anton's tenacity to win the ball high up the pitch got his team back into the game, and he deserves credit for his efforts across the pitch.
An additional note on Mane. I'm worried about this kid. Two hamstring injuries in only a few professional matches point to either a more serious issue, or insufficient preparation from the physio team. Mane has looked promising in the lead up to the season, but these injuries threaten to derail his career. BVB need to get their well-paid medical staff to figure out what's going on here.
Anyone seen the midfield? I can't seem to find it.
I'm not sure if we blame Kovac here, blame the players, blame the system, but my goodness where is our central spine? Hoffenheim ran down the throat of the BVB defense for the entire first half because there seemed to be no cover in front of it. Maybe we will see more of Veerman in the weeks to come, but it's not like the dutchman is some deep-lying enforcer—he is a creator. If BVB are going to be fielding a juvenile back line for the next few weeks (they are), the midfield needs to provide some better cover.

Motherwell secure a place in Europe and serve up the best football their fanbase has ever experienced - but at what cost?
They lose their transformational manager after just a year in charge and have the spine ripped out of their team.
So then arrives an unknown face in the dugout, 35-year-old Alfred Johansson, and 11 new players.
Yet nothing really changes.
Supporters of provincial sides have long been conditioned into fearing second-season syndrome after enjoying a year of fun but Motherwell continue to defy traditional Scottish football thinking.

With a quarterback many view as one of the best in the NFL entering the 2026 season, the Green Bay Packers are getting some extra attention on their wide receiver room. Jordan Love's group of weapons downfield will clearly be integral to the team's success, and that also highlights the importance of chemistry within the unit.
Green Bay has kept six wide receivers after the final roster cuts last Sunday: Christian Watson, Jaylen Reed, Matthew Golden, Skyy Moore, Bo Melton, and rookie J. Michael Sturdivant.
Reed recently opened up about the wide receiver room situation, noting that the group has gotten tighter in the offseason.

Sep. 2—EAST GRAND FORKS — Emma Pieper will enter her junior season at East Grand Forks Senior High with her college decision already made.
The 5-foot-5 Green Wave goaltender committed to Bemidji State over the weekend.
"It's like a relief off my shoulders," Pieper said. "It normally takes longer for goalies, so it was really nice to get all of that done before my junior year so there's no stress the rest of the year."
Four colleges reached out to Pieper, but the campus and coaching staff made the Beavers stand out.
"Their campus is super pretty," Pieper said. "It's on the lake, it's smaller. And their culture is really good, they're all close together. I really like how their coaching staff just meshes together, and they're always upfront with communication."

Milton Keynes Dons have completed the signing of defender Elijah Campbell from Everton, having already added midfielder Ibrahim Fullah from Charlton Athletic on transfer deadline day.
Campbell, 22, has been with Everton since 2017 and made his debut in an FA Cup tie against Sunderland in January of this year.
The centre-half has previously had loan spells with Fleetwood Town, Ross County and, last season, Port Vale, and will now be granted an opportunity to impress in League One with the newly promoted Dons.
Boss Paul Warne said: "With Eli, we needed a left-footed centre-half, wing-back and left-back - someone that could cover those positions. So he's coming in on loan to compete in all of those positions really.
"He's athletic and has, as they all seem to have, a really nice left foot, and is technically a really good player, so he comes with some good recommendations.

Two weeks after suffering a scary knee injury in a walk-through practice, All-American left tackle Trevor Goosby returned to practice, Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday during a press conference inside Royal-Memorial Stadium.
Sarkisian didn't say whether Goosby will play Saturday in the season opener against visiting Texas State, but he says the presence of Goosby as well as banged-up left guard Laurence Seymore III on the practice field is "a real positive for us."
"Both Trevor and Laurence practiced today, and I thought they both looked really good," Sarkisian said.
Left tackle Andre Cojoe drew praise from Sarkisian and the Texas coaches while filling in for Goosby over the past two weeks, as did backup left guard Dylan Sikorski. But the presence of Goosby adds another dimension to the Texas offense.

Among basketball's most meaningful mentorships, few relationships combined intellectual curiosity and genuine authenticity quite like the connection between Kobe Bryant and Kyrie Irving. Irving's latest recollections suggest that Bryant's most valuable influence on him extended well beyond the basketball court.
For Irving, achieving the highest level of basketball success happened relatively early in his career. Even with a championship already on his résumé, Irving began searching for something more meaningful.
Bryant was widely recognized for his relentless pursuit of knowledge. The Lakers legend routinely studied successful people from different industries. He saw that same curiosity in Irving and understood that the young star was interested not only in becoming a better basketball player but also in understanding life.

Because of that, Bryant recommended that Irving read The Alchemist, believing the book could help him change his perspective and become less consumed with proving his critics wrong.

The Atlanta Hawks are staring down a roster that's too bloated and too messy. Right now, the count sits at 17 players, yet the league mandates a strict 15 before the regular season tips off. That creates a brutal math problem for the front office in Atlanta. They can't keep everyone. Two players have to go, and the choice is getting harder by the day.
Reports confirm the team needs to trim the list before training camp opens. Corey Kispert, Buddy Hield, Ryan Nembhard, Devin Carter, and Mouhamed Gueye are all part of the existing group. Each brings complications that make a trade sticky. Kispert holds an undesirable contract that might require Atlanta to attach draft picks just to move him. The team hates doing that, but they have no real choice. The math simply doesn't work otherwise.
Hield is on a deal that expires soon, yet no one wants to pay him nearly $10 million this season. He couldn't even crack the rotation last year. Carter and Nembhard have trade lockouts lasting until late August and mid-September. Gueye is out with a foot injury that will keep him sidelined until November or later. He'll miss the entire preseason. Keeping him on the active list makes no sense for a team that needs to win now.
There's a gaping hole at small forward that needs filling. The current depth chart lists Dyson Daniels at the spot, with Aaron Wiggins and Lu Dort behind him. Dort is capable of playing guard or forward, but he was nearly unusable for OKC during the postseason. Injuries hurt his production during the regular season. Relying on him to be the answer is a risky gamble for Atlanta.
The team should look to swap out a non-contributor like Kispert for a short-term solution. This wouldn't hurt the cap sheet in the long run. A deal with the Denver Nuggets could bring in Cameron Johnson. Johnson gives the Hawks a reliable scorer who can play the position right away. The trade would also include Jericho Sims and a 2028 second-round pick. That move clears the logjam and adds real depth.

With training camp and all three preseason games now complete, the next order of business is trimming the roster from 90 players to 53. In the past, there were two prior smaller cut-down dates, but this year, it is all happening at once. So, by Sunday, August 30, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. MT, the Denver Broncos roster will have to be down to 53 players, and even then, we will likely see a few more transactions in the following days.
When these cuts or trades go down, we will publish them to the tracker as soon as possible and keep updating it through the 4 p.m. MT deadline on Sunday.
Here are the FanDuel Sportsbook odds for the Broncos to win the Super Bowl, win the AFC Championship, make the playoffs, and win the AFC West

After winning the first two games of the new season, against Espanyol on the road and Real Sociedad at home, Real Madrid are set to face the newly-promoted Malaga in their next La Liga game, which is scheduled to take place at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
The Merengues have already been training for this game for some days, and Jose Mourinho held the latest training session ahead of this game on Saturday. As has been the case since the start of the season, the Portuguese coach will remain without several players, including Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao, Raul Asencio, Aurelien Tchouameni, Thiago Pitarch, Rodrygo, and Endrick.
Tchouameni and Endrick's cases are not as severe as those of the other mentioned players, but they are still not at a competitive fitness level, and thus are highly likely to miss the game against Malaga. The other players continue to recover from their longer-term injuries. As a result, Mourinho called up several players from the academy, including Sergio Mestre, Mario Rivas, Cestero, and Alexis Ciria to fill up his ranks.
Meanwhile, Diario AS reports that there was another surprising presence at Valdebebas during this training session, i.e., the Real Madrid legend, Sergio Ramos. The former Merengue defender and captain visited the club's training facilities during this session.
The Spaniard is currently without a club after having ended his time with the Mexican side Monterrey. Several years after his departure from the Spanish capital, he still remains one of the most beloved players in the history of the white club.

Will Harris spent his spring and summer months trying to provide his best player advice regarding her future. For Harris, the Troy High girls' basketball coach, that meant having long conversations with his daughter, Amaya Harris, regarding whether she'd remain with the Flying Horses or leave to play at a prep school.
Father and daughter spent the majority of that time prior to the start of the new school year believing they'd both stay with Troy. But the opportunity that presented itself for Amaya Harris to head to Darrow School - a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council that claimed a 2025 Class AA ***** le - was one that was too good to pass up.
Amaya Harris, 15, is a 6-foot guard who led Troy to the Colonial Council ***** le during the winter and was named the league's Most Valuable Player as a freshman. She has reclassified and is now a member of the Class of 2030, and is already in attendance at Darrow.
"It is definitely different, but in my past few days I have really been enjoying it, for sure," Amaya Harris said. "It was definitely a hard decision. I was going back and forth on it. From about May, it was, 'Should I stay at Troy or should I leave?' When it got to July, I played in New York vs. New York (and Darrow coach Jelani) Williams was my coach, and I realized after that (Darrow) was a great place for me to go to be with the coaching, the team and the environment. This is the best place for me."
The New York vs. New York event starts in July and features elite players battling in New York City in such places as Dyckman Park and Rucker Park. Amaya Harris, competing for the NY Gauchos, excelled.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For many players at the bottom end of the Houston Texans' roster, Friday is their final chance to make a good impression on the coaching staff - or any coaching staff for that matter.
Because come Sunday, the rosters for all 32 teams will be cut down from 90 to 53.
There are several players who have continued to battle for roster spots all camp. And while Friday's preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers won't be the ultimate deciding factor, it will play a part in coach DeMeco Ryans' and his staff's decision making.
Here are the 11 players to watch for in Friday's game at Bank of America Stadium:
Wayne had a big day in the joint practice against the Panthers, making multiple catches for first downs and showing how he's improved since he entered the league in 2023. If the Texans keep seven receivers, he could make the team. This game could go a long way toward determining whether they decide to keep six or seven.

The Texas women's basketball program has once again expanded its recruiting map.
On Wednesday, Texas announced its signing of Australian guard Jayda Clark. The six-foot Clark will be eligible to compete with the Longhorns during the 2026-27 season.
Clark has not played collegiate basketball, but she should still add a veteran presence to a Texas roster that has five freshman on its. Clark is 21 years old, and she has played professionally in Australia. According to UT, Clark scored 36 points and made eight 3-pointers in her last WNBL game.
"We are thrilled to add such a great young lady and her family as well as a tremendous player to our program," Texas coach Vic Schaefer said in a statement. "Jayda has been playing in the WNBL Professional League in Australia for the past two years and she is coming to us after having a great season this year having scored 36 points in her last game. Jayda will bring experience and the ability to score the basketball at all three levels. She is a veteran player with size and strength at the guard position being able to play multiple positions."
Due to the graduation of Rori Harmon and the offseason defections of Jordan Lee and Aaliyah Crump, Texas is thin in its backcourt. But junior Bryanna Preston is back, and Clark, freshmen Addison Bjorn, Amalia Holguin and Lizzy Spaight and Oklahoma transfer Zya Vann will be among those who could compete for playing time.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt might consider a career-changing move after their recent trip to Slovenia to spend time with Luka Doncic.
Doncic invited all his Lakers teammates for the 2026-27 season to his home country of Slovenia, getting to know the players on the massively adjusted roster before a new season.
One of the Lakers players who seemed to have a blast was 27-year-old Vanderbilt, who might be considering a drastic move that a former Lakers teammate made regarding Doncic.
Vanderbilt gave an interview before the Lakers left Slovenia, where he mentioned he is trying to get a Slovenian passport.
"It was amazing… The trip was great. I would love to (come back to Slovenia)… I'm looking to get a Slovenian passport. We'll see. Might be part Slovenian."

Netherlands international Memphis Depay has defended the release of his new music video showing Corinthians' headquarters in flames as "just art" - days after a contract row with the Brazilian club.
The former Manchester United forward agreed to take a "significant" pay cut to stay at Corinthians on Tuesday.
It came a week after the club opted against renewing his contract.
But Depay has now come under scrutiny for releasing the controversial music video for his track 'Don't Panic'.
It was released just 24 hours after the 32-year-old helped Corinthians reach the quarter-final of the Copa Libertadores, and appears to contain references to his recent disputes with the club, showing him watching their administrative center Parque Sao Jorge in flames.

Week one of the high school football season in the Schuylkill League and all across Pennsylvania is less than a week away.
But before teams turn to to preparing for their week one opponents, they'll have the opportunity for a tune-up as the league holds it "Scrimmage Saturday."
Numerous scrimmages will be happening locally including Greater Nanticoke facing Mahanoy Area, Tri-Valley along with Executive Education Charter Academy from Allentown will be scrimmaging Pine Grove Area, Nativity and Shenandoah Valley will also be partaking in a scrimmage at Minersville, and Schuylkill Haven will host Lakeland.
By this point in the summer, most head coaches already have a good idea of who their starters are, how their offense and defense are progressing, and where their team is overall prior to week one.
The scrimmages on Saturday will offer the opportunity for coaches to make sure their teams are ready to go for next Friday while also for the first time this fall giving them the opportunity to face someone in a different color jersey.

Roberto De Zerbi held his first press conference ahead of Saturday's Premier League opening match at Brentford. While the press conference was overshadowed slightly by the fresh news that an agreement has been reached with Manchester City for the purchase of Savinho, there was still plenty to talk about in the match.
For starters, as mentioned previously RDZ named the new Tottenham Hotspur leadership group, which includes Micky van de Ven as club captain, along with Pedro Porro, Ben Davies, James Maddison, and Archie Gray as vice captains. But two of that group will not feature tomorrow vs. Brentford — Micky and Porro were both ruled out of contention, as was Pape Matar Sarr.
"Micky is not on the list tomorrow like Pedro Porro. James Maddison is inside [it], Solanke inside, Udogie, Fernandes also. Sarr not because he felt some pain, but nothing big. Kudus is almost ready.
"Today [Micky] worked with us, with the group and he is going very well. He suffered a problem during the pre-season of Australia, I don't know if it was the flight, but not a big problem. We have Senesi, we have Ben Davies and in the right condition to play the game tomorrow."
A lot to unpack there! Spurs have been strangely silent on Micky's absence from preseason, and we all **** umed it was injury related. De Zerbi didn't provide much of an update, but Micky's been in the club socials a LOT lately, and was just named Captain so if there was a major issue we'd probably know about it by now. Sounds like he'll be coming back sooner rather than later. Pedro Porro's absence is likely just fitness related; he only just returned from his post-World Cup break. Sounds like Sarr is just out with a minor knock and the club is being cautious.

The league is returning to the beloved video game franchise for the first time since 2022 when it signed an exclusive deal with rival Konami and its eFootball series.
But who's on top?
Rather than dynamic attackers like Tigres star Juan Brunetta, who is one of six players with a 78 overall rating, or Toluca forward Paulinho, who is second in the league with a 79, it's a defensive player who takes the crown.
Pumas goalkeeper Keylor Navas, still strong in goal after a legendary career with Real Madrid, PSG and the Costa Rica national team, has an 80 overall rating and tops the heap.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans exited Tuesday's joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers with a left foot/ankle injury.
Evans, who joined the 49ers in free agency after a legendary stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been dealing with a quadriceps injury throughout training camp.
ESPN's Nick Wagoner revealed that Evans pulled up during practice and then had his left foot/ankle wrapped and iced as he watched the rest of the session from the sidelines.
NFL fans on X had mixed reactions to Evans' latest injury. One fan hit the panic ******* on about the wide receiver's first season in San Francisco.
"Ya, Mike Evans is cooked this season," they predicted.

One of those football adages that has always stuck with me came from a member of an NFL team's front office circa 2010: "Never let desperation be confused with a plan." It came at a time when his team was signing anyone and everyone at defensive back to fill an injury void, and he told me this anonymously because he disagreed with the approach of throwing money at free agents, rather than letting rookies get their reps in and take lumps as a result.
At first glance the decision by the Dallas Cowboys to sign Von Miller seems like desperation. The team is still reeling from the need to find pass-rush help in the wake of trading away Micah Parsons, while coming to the realization that Rashan Gary and Donovan Ezeiruaku really aren't the marquee talents you want to get after opposing quarterbacks. Miller is 37-years-old, he's a journeyman, and the Cowboys are his fourth team in the last five seasons.
Miller remains one of the most impactful pass rushers in the NFL. The future Hall of Fame lock has been reduced to just having one trick in his bag — but that's all the Cowboys need at this point.
It's completely understandable if you didn't watch the Commanders play last season. Heck, even die-hard Commanders fans would forgive you for skipping over their debacle of a 2025 campaign. What we saw out of Von Miller in Washington was punctuated brilliance. Dan Quinn and the coaching staff were well aware of what Miller can and can't do on the field at this point in his career, so he was used predominantly as a 3rd-down pass rusher, or an additional linebacker in some gadget sets. This concept worked extremely well, as Miller finished the 2025 season with 10 sacks and 36 total pressures on just 289 pass rush snaps.
This pressure rate of 12.4% is prolific compared with the pass rushers he joins now. Rashan Gary's pressure rate was 13% — but Ezeiruaku's was considerably worse at just 9%. This means that there's a natural advantage on third-down pass-rushing situations to swap out Ezeiruaku for Miller, bolstering the attack as a result. This becomes even more intriguing with the addition of Caleb Downs, whom Dallas selected in the draft. There's a gravity which comes from throwing Miller on the field which can't be avoided, even as he gets older — meaning he needs to be accounted for on third down situations. While he might not command a true double, there will need to be a chip block thrown his way as well, because this is still Von Miller we're talking about.
