Cam Ward's reaction to ****** ans' first win sums it all up appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Cam Ward was thankful for his coaching staff after the Tennessee ****** ans pulled off a 26-20 upset win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon.
Ward is going through the second season of his NFL career with the ****** ans. He looks to get them on a trajectory of promising success, considering Tennessee has been unable to return to their playoff heights earlier in the decade. They've since fallen down as a lottery team with one of the worst records in the league.
The start to the 2026 season was brutal for him and the ****** ans. They lost their first five games of the season, needing a win at some point to avoid a winless campaign.

DaSaahn Brame immediately became one of Tennessee's most important players when tight end Ethan Davis suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
Brame, a sophomore tight end, should make the biggest jump in the depth chart to replace Davis. But others could factor in as the Vols try to retool their offensive plan after losing a valuable player.
Davis suffered the knee injury in the Vols' 45-24 win over Georgia Tech on Sept. 12. Coach Josh Heupel announced on Sept. 14 that he will miss the remainder of the season.
Davis is the fifth UT player to suffer a season-ending injury, joining starting safety Edrees Farooq (knee), backup receiver Joakim Dodson (leg), reserve linebacker Jaedon Harmon (knee) and Miami transfer cornerback Jadais Richard (upper-body).
It's a costly loss. Davis, a senior starter, caught a TD pass in each of UT's first two games. And he's been an effective blocker in the Vols' rushing offense, which ranks sixth nationally.

ATLANTA — Tennessee defensive lineman Daevin Hobbs left the Georgia Tech game with an injury in the first quarter on Sept. 12.
Hobbs was shaken up on a play with 11:14 remaining in the opening quarter. After lying on the turf for a couple of minutes, he walked slowly off the field on his own power and went directly to the injury tent.
It appeared to be a lower body injury. Hobbs was limited in preseason practice by a foot injury.
Hobbs is an important piece of UT's defensive line rotation. The senior has played in 33 games in his Vols career.

Malik Nabers' injury update could make Giants fans very nervous originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Giants want to win, and this fanbase is hungry for some victories after last season's 4-13 finish. One way to help the case is having wide receiver Malik Nabers healthy and ready to go for the team's first game of the season.
The Giants open their season on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, so this isn't just any season opener. This is two teams who pretty much hate each other, at least in a rivalry way, going at it to get the first win of the regular season.
Nabers suffered a season-ending torn ACL and meniscus injury in September 2025 against the Los Angeles Chargers. So, will he be back on Sunday to open the Giants' season?
On Thursday, Nabers offered up an injury update, but it was more of a non-update, because he didn't say anything that should make New York any less nervous.

The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2026 season with a re-energized roster talented enough to compete for another Super Bowl appearance, but the path through the NFC will require several prominent players to perform at or near their ceilings.
While the loss of A.J. Brown is tough, Philadelphia's front office strengthened the secondary, added more options on offense, and replenished several key positions with young talent. Still, championship teams ultimately rely on their foundational players when injuries accumulate, the schedule becomes more challenging, and postseason games are decided by a handful of snaps.
With the regular season approaching, here are the 10 Eagles most important to a potential Super Bowl run.
Everything begins with Hurts, who will be responsible for directing Sean Mannion's offense while maintaining the efficiency and ball security that defined his 2025 season. Philadelphia can win games with its offensive line, running game, and defense, but its Super Bowl ceiling remains connected to its quarterback. Hurts must distribute the football, punish defenses through the air, and continue creating problems as a runner without exposing himself to unnecessary contact.
Carter possesses the talent to become the NFL's most disruptive interior defender. His ability to collapse the pocket, command double-teams, and destroy running plays can change the structure of Vic Fangio's entire defense. With questions surrounding the consistency of Philadelphia's edge rush, Carter generating pressure from the middle will be essential.

At this point in the Major League Baseball season, Wrigley Field is typically hosting the Chicago Cubs as they make their stretch-run push toward the postseason.
This particular Sunday, however, baseball will take a back seat — and does so for a historic reason.
Headlined by powerhouse Nebraska, the Friendly Confines is set to host two outdoor volleyball matches on Sunday, Sept. 6 between the Cornhuskers and Missouri, and Penn State vs. Kentucky in the inaugural Big Ten/SEC Volleyball Challenge.

Sunday's match features just one of several neutral sites the Cornhuskers have played at to begin Year 2 of the Dani Busboom Kelly era in Lincoln, as Nebraska has already competed in the Players Era and Spikes Under The Lights events. With the return of All-Americans Bergen Reilly, Harper Murray and Andi Jackson, the Cornhuskers are looking to get back to the final weekend of the NCAA Tournament after falling in the quarterfinals last season.

Last week, news was revealed that driver Riley Herbst has found a home for next season. After being unceremoniously cut loose in favor of Corey Heim at 23XI Racing earlier this season, it was announced that Herbst will join Legacy Motor Club in NASCAR's Cup series starting in 2027.
The news that Herbst would be joining Legacy wasn't exactly a huge, earth-shattering, stop-the-presses moment. In fact, it was actually a bit odd. That is, until you look a little deeper, pull back the curtain and see what's really going on.
That Riley Herbst moved up to a full-time NASCAR Cup Series ride with 23XI starting just last season is head-scratching. To be teamed up with Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace, both of whom are proven winners, even more so.
The fact is, the 27-year-old native of Las Vegas hasn't exactly set the NASCAR world alight since making his NASCAR debut in the Truck Series in 2018. Yes, he did score three wins in NASCAR's second-tier O'Reilly Auto Parts Series scattered among 179 starts, but his best finish in the season standings was an unremarkable seventh. A decent résumé to be sure, but not exactly the stuff NASCAR dreams are made of.
In his 61 starts in the Cup Series since joining 23XI in 2025, Herbst has not come close to anything resembling a Victory Lane. He has only three top-10 finishes among those starts, so it's little wonder he was cast off for Heim, a younger driver who had two wins in just 16 starts in a part-time role in the Cup Series just this year after storming his way to the Truck Series ****** le with 12 wins in 2025.

MILAN (AP) — No longer a teenager, Kimi Antonelli is keen to show just how much he has progressed as he prepares for his home grand prix, even though he has to start at the back of the grid.
It was two years ago at Monza that Antonelli was given his Formula 1 debut but that lasted just 10 minutes as the youngster was involved in a high-speed crash in the first practice session for the Italian Grand Prix.
Now Antonelli, who turned 20 last week, arrives as championship leader.
"That definitely was not the way I wanted to introduce myself into the sport," Antonelli said. "If someone, while I was walking off in the gravel, would have said, 'in two years you're going to be leading the world championship in this exact moment,' I would have said 'shut up … don't joke with me.'
"But, you know, it's happening. And, you know, I'm very, very, very happy, very grateful. And just got to keep pushing."

Warriors' Steph Curry gets major contract extension update: 'There is no negotiation' originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Golden State Warriors did not have the best offseason by any means, but they were able to bring back some familiar faces. The Warriors are entering the final stages of both Draymond Green and Steph Curry's careers.
However, Curry is expected to receive a contract extension at some point soon, and the deal is set to be a hefty one for this stage of his career.
"What the terms of a new extension look like for Curry will be completely up to him, as the Warriors are prepared to offer their star whatever he wants. If Steph wants the full $136.7 million through the 2028-29 season, he will get that. If he wants to take a discount to help the team, GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. will have no problem with said deal," NBA insider Brett Siegel wrote.
The only thing with Curry is that his extension has a lot riding on it.

Sunderland are set to beat Crystal Palace to the signing of Malick Fofana from Lyon for 30m euros (£25.7m).
Sunderland had agreed a deal earlier before Palace made their own proposal, but the Black Cats are expected to sign the 21-year-old Belgium winger.
The deal is understood to now be at the paperwork stage.
Fofana is understood to be excited by the prospect of joining Sunderland before their first European campaign in 51 years, having qualified for the Europa League, although Palace have also qualified for the same competition.
Arsenal also attempted to sign Fofana, but the Premier League champions were unable to agree a fee with Lyon.

Happy Monday, y'all. And…IT'S A MIAMI HURRICANES GAME WEEK!!!
The long offseason is over. We made it. So, that said, let's get to it.
1) Yes, we'll get to the Stanford game, but I wanted to get to something else first. What a day yesterday for drafted Miami Hurricanes in the NFL.
NINE players were drafted by NFL teams back in April. One of Miami's best draft days in a long time.
But, despite being drafted, you still have to earn a spot on the roster. And guess what? 8 of 9 Canes made their team's 53-man roster. EIGHT! And the ninth, Anez Cooper, was placed on injured reserve designated to return after a strong preseason. So, basically all nine made it. Even CJ Daniels, a Rams 7th round pick, made the team, who is the odds-on favorite to win it all this year.

Goal scoring patterns are the cornerstone of football betting, shaping the most popular markets used by bettors and ******* ysts. Understanding how goals are distributed across matches offers vital context beyond unpredictable single-game outcomes. Recognising stable trends can support a more informed approach to interpreting betting markets.
Goal data is essential in mainstream football betting because it reveals patterns that guide market pricing and expectations, including on platforms such as Hurjaa. The most common football betting markets depend on how reliably teams score, with long-term goal patterns providing greater clarity than a single match result. Historical averages and shifts in tactical approach are important for anyone interested in understanding market movements. By identifying these trends, it becomes clearer why popular markets behave as they do.
Betting professionals and ******* ysts usually focus on specific metrics when evaluating goal scoring trends. League averages are a primary reference, since some competitions are known for frequent high-scoring games while others tend to be more defensive and produce fewer goals.
Comparisons between home and away performance help determine where teams are most effective or vulnerable. Timing of goals, such as whether teams score more in the opening or closing stages of matches, also contributes to understanding overall patterns.
Markets like over/under are directly influenced by overall goal rates and tactical shifts within leagues. When a competition moves towards more offensive or defensive play, the over/under lines reflect the new trend accordingly.

A source that used to be in the organization said Bulls scouts liked Joan Beringer — another French player — more than Essengue, but because voices that opposed Karnisovas often fell on deaf ears or were pushed out of the organization, there was little resistance offered up. An NBA source told the Sun-Times this week that one organization didn't even have Essengue in the top 20 of that draft.

In what was the biggest race of his life, Ryan Preece not only earned his first career win at Daytona, but he clinched himself into the Chase for the first time in his career. This was not only huge for his season, but this race was personal. Considering the scary crashes Preece experienced in 2023 and 2025 at Daytona, it was fitting for it to be a happy ending this time. Yet, for what seemed like a dream scenario for RFK Racing and this #60 team, it definitely did not go to plan.
Things went array early in the race. As the field came to end stage one, Kyle Larson gave RFK's Chris Buescher a bad push. Buescher would hit the outside wall, while Kyle Larson and Ryan Preece would Tokyo drift through the grass. Preece's involvement in the incident was huge intially. Entering the race, he was one of three drivers who was fighting for the remaining two Chase positions. While this crash didn't eliminate him, it did send him from third to eighth in just a few hundred feet. This would end up costing Preece five points. In addition, his competitor Shane van Gisbergen would benefit from the incident, passing the crash to win the stage. This exchange put him another seven points behind his target.
Preece made up for that loss by clawing his way back in stage two to finish second. Throughout the race, he earned himself twelve stage points, while van Gisbergen only scored the ten. While two points isn't significant, it still is something.
The latter portion of the race was an uneventful strategic battle. With 39 laps to go, Ross Chastain led a group of Chevy's into pit road. Then, another handful of drivers countered with around twenty laps to go. These drivers would attempt to gain an advantage, but it would later be washed away. Preece and others would remain on the track, hoping for some luck.
With around ten laps to go, thing got chaotic while Preece was leading. Then with six laps to go, it snapped. Carson Hocevar made an abrupt move on Preece entering turn three, where he would lose control of his car. Hocevar would then come back onto the track, make hard contact with the outside wall, and collect Erik Jones in the process.

Nottingham Forest made a flying start against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Oliver Glasner's side put immediate pressure on the Reds and Igor Jesus nearly opened the scoring from close range, but was denied by a timely Jeremy Jacquet intervention.
The Tricky Trees maintained their momentum and were rewarded midway through the first-half as Dan Ndoye found the net.
The Swiss international received Morgan Gibbs-White's through ball and curled a composed finish into the bottom corner.
That strike ended Ndoye's long run without a Premier League goal, with his last strike coming on his debut against Brentford last season.

Andrei Iosivas entered the offseason as one of the more embattled-feeling Cincinnati Bengals players of note.
The Bengals, after all, drafted Colbie Young this year and Iosivas has some drops over the last year or so that stick heavy in the minds of fans.
But with training camp wrapping up ahead of the preseason finale, offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher has nothing but good things to say about Iosivas.
Pitcher told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com that Iosivas "had a good camp all the way around."
That confidence in Iosivas was apparent when he was one of the first names called up at a recent practice with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins out.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves agreed to terms with power forward Jonathan **** inga on a two-year, $12.4 million contract on Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
The person spoke to The **** ociated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not confirmed the agreement. ESPN reported that **** inga's contract includes a player option for the second season, which would give the seventh overall pick from the 2021 draft an opportunity to hit the free agent market in a year.
Kuminga will fill an obvious need in the frontcourt for the Timberwolves, who traded Julius Randle and Naz Reid as part of their offseason acquisition of point guard LaMelo Ball.
Kuminga, who will turn 24 on Oct. 6, averaged a career-best 16.1 points during the 2023-24 season for the Golden State Warriors, who drafted the Congo native but never found the right fit for him before ultimately trading him to the Atlanta Hawks in February. **** inga fell out of favor with Warriors coach Steve Kerr and out of the rotation last season, making his departure an inevitability. He played in only seven of his last 38 games with the Warriors.
He'll have a fresh start with the hungry Timberwolves, who'll have the challenge of finding enough shots for **** inga and fellow forward Jaden McDaniels in a lineup that will revolve around Ball and superstar Anthony Edwards. In 278 NBA games, **** inga has averaged 12.5 points and 22.1 minutes. He's a 50.2% shooter from the floor.

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sri Lanka pacer Asitha Fernando have each been fined 25% of their match fees and handed one demerit point for their on-field altercation on the opening day of the second Test.

The ICC said both players had breached Article 2.12 of its code of conduct for players and player support personnel, which relates to "inappropriate physical contact with a player, support personnel, umpire, match referee or any other person, including a spectator, during an international match."

The incident occurred during the 17th over of India's first innings on Sunday.

Fernando, who had been hit for three consecutive fours by Jaiswal, dismissed the left-hander for 45 with a delivery that jagged back in and bowled him.

The Sri Lankan pacer then gave Jaiswal an animated send-off, prompting the batter to turn back, charge towards him and exchange words.

The confrontation escalated as the two players came face-to-face, with Jaiswal's helmet making contact with Fernando's head.

Teammates and Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva intervened and separated the two before the situation could escalate further.

Jaiswal later responded on social media to criticism of the incident, urging experts not to judge him without knowing what Fernando had said during the exchange.

"If you don't know what he said, then please don't make your judgement. If anyone crosses the line, we need to let them know: This India will fight and reply," Jaiswal posted before start of play on Day Two.

FC Barcelona's biggest signing of the summer so far, Rodri, is already preparing for his competitive debut, reports Mundo Deportivo.
After working individually last week because he joined the squad with limited pre-season preparation following his World Cup triumph and a minor back procedure, Rodri trained alongside his teammates for the first time on Monday.
As Hansi Flick had announced before the match against Elche, the midfielder worked with the players who either played limited minutes or did not feature at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero.
The starters completed a recovery session instead. Among those who played against Elche, only Raphinha, Fermin Lopez, Karim Adeyemi and Pedri took to the pitch at the ***** o Vilanova training ground.
Rodri has now begun his return to full training with Thursday's match against Athletic Club in mind.

One reporter has explained why Liverpool don't intend to sign a replacement for Curtis Jones in the final few days of the summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old completed a £30m move to Inter Milan on Friday, with the deal also including a 10% sell-on clause for the Reds (Sky Sports), thus reducing the quantity of midfield options available to Andoni Iraola.
Despite persistent rumours of a swoop for Adam Wharton, Lewis Steele indicated in recent days that FSG have no intention of paying £100m for the Crystal Palace powerhouse and aren't planning to enter the market for a midfielder prior to the deadline on Tuesday week.
Transfer insider Graeme Bailey outlined to TEAMtalk that Liverpol ****** sed numerous midfield options earlier this summer (including Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali and Wharton) but concluded that none of those targeted were worth the outlays which would've been required to sign them.
He added that Iraola was blown away' by the performances of Trey Nyoni in pre-season to the extent that the head coach believes the 19-year-old is now 'first-team ready'.

Shedeur Sanders backed up Deshaun Watson in the Cleveland Browns' first game of the 2026 NFL preseason. Now, the second-year quarterback will get a chance to stake his claim to the starting job.
Sanders will take the field first for the Browns as they host the Buffalo Bills at Huntington Bank Stadium in Cleveland. He is expected to play the entire first half before making way for Watson at the start of the third quarter.
Browns coach Todd Monken has been adamant he has not yet decided who will start for the Browns in Week 1, but Saturday's contest will nonetheless be crucial for Sanders. Watson outplayed him in Cleveland's first preseason game, a contested during which Sanders was responsible for an ugly interception.
Any similar turnover issues could help clear the path for Watson to take on the starting job.

Washington Nationals All-Star CJ Abrams is "not thrilled" about his recent position change.
The NL East club moved the 25-year-old from shortstop to second base, a move announced by Nationals manager Blake Butera earlier this week.
Abrams grades out as one of the worst defenders in the sport at shortstop, so the Nationals are likely looking at what's best for the club's defense moving forward.
For now, the slugger will split time with Nasim Nunez at second while still spending some time at his original middle infield position.

Amy Hunt and Dina Asher-Smith made history as Great Britain maintained their bid to top the final medal table with mixed 4x100m relay gold at the European Championships.
Sprint sensation Hunt held up four fingers to the camera after holding off Germany's challenge on the home straight as another sell-out crowd roared the 24-year-old on to an unprecedented fourth gold of the week.
The world silver medallist completed victory for the quartet in a European record 39.97 seconds to add to her triumphs in the 100m, 200m and women's 4x100m in Birmingham.
With her eighth gold and 11th medal overall, Asher-Smith is unparalleled as the most successful athlete in the competition's 92-year history, with a team also featuring Jeremiah Azu and Zharnel Hughes extending the hosts' domination of the sprint events.
It was Great Britain's eighth gold medal, drawing them level with Italy at the top of the standings - and the team's 15th overall.
