The Denver Broncos are going into training camp with the same three quarterbacks they rostered last season. Time will tell if that remains the case when the regular season arrives in September.
There were rumblings this spring that the team could look to trade Jarrett Stidham. Such a trade hasn't happened yet, but a trade scenario can't be ruled out as we approach preseason.
For now, Stidham is competing with Sam Ehlinger for the QB2 job behind starter Bo Nix. Ehlinger showed great loyalty to the club last season, turning down active-roster offers from three NFL teams in 2025. If the Broncos eventually do trade Stidham, they could reward Ehlinger's loyalty by promoting him to QB2. Or he could simply win the backup job this summer, which would demote Stidham to QB3.
QB1: Bo Nix
QB2: Jarrett Stidham

Jul. 30—When 90+ Project Director of Programming and Coach Aaron Lewis asked the players at Thrive International's youth summer soccer camp how many of them weren't born in the United States, dozens of hands shot up.
Sitting in the grass at Franklin Park, those same players watched as four out of the five Spokane Velocity players who were visiting camp Thursday raised their hands, too.
"You're my GOAT," 9-year-old Mel Akon later told Velocity left-backer Moses Mensah while the kids collected autographs on soccer ****** , cleats and posters. "One day I'm gonna look like you and be like you."
"I want to see that," Mensah, originally from Ghana, answered without hesitation.
The annual youth soccer camp is run through a partnership with refugee resettlement organization Thrive International and sports-based youth development organization 90+ Project. This year, close to 200 kids, including kindergartners to 12th graders, from more than a dozen nationalities, arrived at Franklin Park to play soccer.

After they had over a month off, the Miami Dolphins were back on the practice field on Wednesday for their first training camp session at their Baptist Health Training Complex under new head coach Jeff Hafley.
With this being Day 1, the Dolphins weren't in pads, which limited the physicality of the session, but there were still some players who brought the energy.
Among them, was linebacker Willie Gay Jr., who was reportedly one of the best players on the field. He was also mic'd up by Miami's social team, and they released a cut-up of his best moments during practice.
It's not a training camp session without a Gay scream at the beginning of the work. It was also great to see his one-handed interception of quarterback Cam Miller.
Gay is fighting for a spot in the linebacker room, and if he continues to stack days like that one, he'll make the roster and could push for more playing time than he had in 2025.

The Saints may have suffered a major blow to their defense.
Defensive lineman Bryan Bresee left Wednesday's opening practice of training camp with a knee injury and NFL Media reports that the fear is that he tore his ACL. If that is confirmed, Bresee will miss the entire 2026 season and the Saints could be on the hunt for more help on their defensive front.
Bresee was a 2023 first-round pick in New Orleans and he started all 15 games he played during the 2025 season. He has 86 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 49 career games for the team.
The Saints exercised Bresee's fifth-year option this offseason, so he is under contract for next season.

JanBlachowicz's journey back to ******* le contention has taken anotherunexpected turn.
The former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight ******* leholderwas originally slated to rematch BogdanGuskov at UFC Belgrade on Aug. 1 in Serbia. However, those plans changedwhen Guskov was offered the UFC Abu Dhabi main event spot against MagomedAnkalaev following KhalilRountree's withdrawal.
As such, Blachowicz (29-11-2) will now square off against NavajoStirling in the new co-main event in Belgrade and the Polishveteran is unfazed by the change.
After Guskov accepted the short-notice bout against Ankalaev,Blachowicz was paired with Stirling. The former champion insistslittle has changed in his preparation.
"I am doing this all my life," Blachowicz said in a recentinterview. "It's a new opponent. I have a lot of respect for him,but it's just another fighter who I have to stop. I don't thinkabout this mess around because I don't want to waste energy forthat. Okay, it's a new opponent; that's it. We do small changes andwe are here to win the fight against him, or a different opponentdoesn't matter."
The upcoming matchup gives Blachowicz an opportunity to halt thelongest winless stretch of his UFC tenure. He has gone fourstraight outings without a victory and is coming off a majoritydraw against Guskov this past December. His last win came all theway back in May 2022 when he defeated AleksandarRakic.
He'll have his work cut out for him against the surging Stirling,who boasts a perfect 10-0 record.

This season will see a new version of Aston Villa under Unai Emery.
A 4-2 defeat to Real Sociedad on Tuesday will irritate their perfectionist head coach, but there is plenty of time for him to fine-tune the Europa League holders before the start of the new campaign.
With Brian Madjo, George Hemmings, Modou Cisse all likely to feature in the squad going forward there was still plenty to build on from the encounter against the La Liga side.
The display of teenage striker Madjo was one.
Villa are still awaiting the outcome of their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as they try to register the England Under-17 international, who joined from Metz for £10m in January and does not turn 18 until January next year.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — The mass confusion was supposed to be gone by now.
The decisions to sell, buy or stand pat should have been finalized with everyone having a clear direction.
And yet, with just six shopping days left before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline, we have less clarity now than at the All-Star break.
The Miami Marlins produced their greatest June (20-6) in franchise history, lost a franchise-record 12 games in a row, staged a dramatic comeback against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, and are smack-dab in the NL wild-card race.
The Boston Red Sox, who had the American League's worst record (32-46) a month ago, are cruising now at 55-50, and could be the AL favorites to reach the World Series.

Paris Saint-Germain have no intention of entering the race for Manchester City's Rodri despite recent speculation linking the European champions with the Spaniard, per Sky Sports.
Reports in recent days suggested PSG could test City's resolve for the Ballon d'Or winner.
However, the French club are understood to be completely satisfied with their current midfield options and are not planning any major additions in that area this summer.
Luis Enrique's side believe they already possess one of Europe's strongest midfield units, with Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves all playing pivotal roles in last season's historic campaign.
The trio started PSG's UEFA Champions League final triumph and remain central to the club's long-term plans. They also have the talented Warren Zaire-Emery waiting in the wings.

Though Barkley did mention that James has provided himself advantages with "stacking the deck" throughout his career when joining talented teams. "The number one knock on LeBron for older guys like myself has always been, 'Yo, man, you always stacking your team,'" Barkley said. "He stacked in Miami. He stacked in Cleveland. He stacked in LA. Now he's stacking it in Philly. So that to me, I'm going to still have the same criticism I've always had."

As we know, the relationship between Leao and Milan now appears to be at an all-time low. The player — by his own admission — is pushing for a new experience away from San Siro, while for the club his sale would represent the main opportunity to raise funds and finance an already very demanding transfer market.
Follow Napoli's training camp up close! All of the Azzurri's pre-season friendlies live on OneFootball! Click here to check the match schedule and how to watch them.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fenerbahce are ready to get serious and have reportedly put a €50 million offer on the table to convince Milan to let Leao leave. The player would have been offered a five-year contract worth €8 million net per season, boosted by bonuses linked to appearances, goals, and winning the Turkish league.
The deal is also reportedly being closely followed by Jorge Mendes, who is said to have offered the forward — unsuccessfully — to Barcelona and Man Utd, while Milan are already said to be considering Genk's Konstantinos Karetsas as a possible replacement, with his club asking for at least €40 million.
calciomercato.com also confirms the strong pressure from the Istanbul club, although it reports different figures. According to the outlet, Fenerbahce are preparing a blitz in Milan and a lower overall offer than the one suggested by the pink paper, while Milan continue to demand a higher valuation to let their number 10 leave. The Turkish club's intention to make a move in the coming hours, however, remains.

Shreyas Iyer was officially handed the reins of India's T20I side as the team geared up for its tour of Ireland and England across June and July.
Alongside this appointment, Tilak Varma took over as his deputy, stepping into the vice-captain's role previously held by Axar Patel.
The squad announcement also brought attention to 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who had earned his maiden senior call-up on the strength of a sensational IPL campaign with Rajasthan Royals.
Iyer's elevation to the national captaincy hasn't come out of nowhere. It stems almost entirely from the leadership credentials he built across various IPL franchises over the years.

Cardinals fourth-round pick Kaleb Proctor will not see any game action during his rookie season.
The Cardinals placed Proctor on injured reserve Wednesday and the timing of the move means he will not be eligible to be activated at any point during the 2026 campaign. The defensive lineman tore his meniscus during the team's offseason program and head coach Mike LaFleur said in the spring that the injury could keep him out for the entire year.
Arizona signed defensive lineman Coziah Izzard to fill the open spot on their 90-man roster.
Izzard signed with the Chiefs after going undrafted out of Penn State in 2025. He also spent time with the Saints, but did not appear in any regular season games for either team.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the busiest teams this offseason after four-time NBA champion LeBron James informed the franchise he would not be returning. Since then, Los Angeles has focused on building its roster around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
The Lakers have nearly exhausted all of their offseason moves, but one significant addition could still be on the way. Los Angeles and Jonathan ****** inga have expressed mutual interest in joining forces.
"There is mutual free agent interest between Jonathan ****** inga and the Lakers, per Jovan Buha. Los Angeles continues to work behind the scenes to secure ****** inga's commitment as their new wing addition," NBA reporter Evan Sidery posted.
The two sides have been working toward a deal for more than a week. However, the Lakers signed young wing Ziaire Williams earlier this week.

The All-Star break is officially in full swing, and following an absolutely epic Home Run Derby Monday, fans are primed and ready for the Midsummer Classic this evening. Philadelphia is hosting the festivities for the first time since 1996, bringing the best of the best to the City of Brotherly Love. The American League leads the National League all-time, 48-45, and has dominated the better part of the last three decades, losing just five times since 1997, and winning 10 of the last 12. Though we can’t forget last season, when a tied game after nine led to the first “swing-off” tiebreaker that allowed the NL to take the W as Philly’s own Kyle Schwarber won it in dramatic fashion.
Two star-studded lineups will be managed by a pair of excellent managers. Dave Roberts, the Los Angeles Dodgers skipper, is managing back-to-back years and his fifth All-Star game, and he will have five of his players on the roster. Making his managerial debut in the Midsummer Classic, Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider will be at the helm for the American League. The Jays fell to the Dodgers in a thrilling, seven-game World Series in 2025, and though Toronto hasn’t been as dominant this season, Schneider will have four players attending with Cy Young contender — and an old White Sox pal — Dylan Cease getting the start for the AL.
Leading the field with the most elected All Stars are the hometown Philadelphia Phillies, with six players represented this year, including two-time All-Star Cristopher Sánchez, who is starting on the mound for the National League. One of the best fun facts coming out of this year’s game is that Roy Halladay was the last starting pitcher to represent both the Blue Jays (2009) and the Phillies (2011). Though we will have long-time veterans with Chris Sale, Freddie Freeman, and Justin Verlander making their 10th ASG appearance, and the legendary Mike Trout was elected for the 12th time, getting the start out in center field tonight.
There are also quite a few young guys and rookies making their All-Star debut as well, as there are 11 players under 25 years old, and 36 first-timers. There is so much talent on both rosters, but I want to focus on three of those first-timers: Miguel Vargas, Munetaka Murakami, and Tristan Peters.

Michael Bisping did everything in his power to keep this week's The Ultimate Fighter 34 fight from being canceled; unfortunately for his team, his efforts ended up working in Daniel Cormier's favor.
Team Cormier took the lead at 3-2 on the season with Brazilian strawweight Tina Black winning a grudge match against countrywoman Natalia Alves. The former Invicta FC champion out-struck Alves and foiled her attempts to take her to the ground, then capped off her performance with a knockout flurry late in Round 2.
Watch the finish below.
There was plenty of drama leading up to the fight, including Bisping tricking Black's coach outside of the show, UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber, into believing that Black was on his team so that he would reveal the Team Cormier fighter's weaknesses.
With knowledge of Black's supposed limitations in hand, Alves was to utilize her wrestling to dominate the fight, but it didn't go according to plan and her teammate, TUF 34 guest blogger Xavier Franklin explained what went wrong.
