It's the eve of the Washington Commanders' season opener, so they have made a roster move.
It's not unusual for the Commanders, or the other 31 NFL teams, to make a roster move or two the day before a game. As the season progresses, you will notice these are often injury-related, where the Commanders will elevate a player from the practice squad to the active roster to fill in for an injured player who is going to be inactive on game day.
In this case, the Commanders just released offensive tackle D.J. Humphries on Friday. Thus, Washington announced Saturday it is elevating C/G Julian Good-Jones (JGJ) from the practice squad for Sunday's 2026 opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

JGJ was perhaps the most talked-about backup during training camp and the preseason in the DMV. With starting center Nick Allegretti ailing most of training camp, JGJ became a focal point of much radio and podcast **** ysis, and the references to JGJ were mostly not complimentary and sometimes unnecessarily unkind.

NEW YORK (AP) — Twenty-five years ago, Brielle Saracini was 10 years old and trying to cope with losing her father, Victor Saracini, the pilot on United flight 175, which was taken over by the 9/11 hijackers and crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
Spurred on by a friend, she wrote a letter to Derek Jeter, met the Yankees captain at Yankee Stadium and formed a lifelong friendship.
On Friday, as New York commemorated the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, Saracini threw out the ceremonial first pitch with Jeter watching from the mound before the Yankees hosted the crosstown Mets.
"I remember just talking about anything and everything and anything that kind of came through my mind that day and you just made it so comfortable and I remember just feeling normal for a day, which was hard to do," Saracini said while sitting next to Jeter at a news conference. "The odds were stacked against me that day but I remember just taking a minute and just having normal conversations and just feeling like a kid."
Jeter remembers trying his best in a tough situation.

49ers rookie De'Zhaun Stribling exits Rams game on cart in scary moment originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It's always a scary thing when a player goes down during an NFL game, and that's especially the case when it's a rookie with a promising future in the league. Unfortunately, during the San Francisco 49ers' season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, one rookie's time on the field was cut short.
Wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling exited the Rams game on a cart after suffering an ankle injury. He hurt his ankle earlier in the game but was able to come back into it not long after. However, the rookie wide receiver wasn't able to stay in and had to be carted out on a medical vehicle.
Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports that the player has been ruled out for the game.
The 49ers drafted Stribling in the second round of the 2026 NFL draft with the 33rd overall selection. He played at Ole Miss before heading to the pros.

Alexis Mac Allister has admitted he was left "very, very sad" after being told Liverpool were not in a position to offer him a new contract.
The midfielder ultimately decided to remain at Anfield this summer despite having opportunities to leave, and insists he will continue to give everything for the club.
But he says seeing team-mates Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch sign new deals has made his own situation more difficult.
"There was a chance [I could have left the club in the summer]," Mac Allister said.
"As everyone knows, I received the news that the club was not in a position to offer me a new contract, which makes me very, very sad.

It wasn't an easy day for the Oregon Ducks on Saturday, as they battled back from a 17-7 deficit to the Boise State Broncos to take the lead, only for the Broncos to respond and twice tie the game in the second half. But in the end, the Ducks mustered up a 34-27 victory, preserving a 1-0 record heading into next week.
Oregon's Week 2 opponent, the Oklahoma State Cowboys, didn't have an easy go of it either in Week 1 — but the difference is that while they fell behind early, they never found a way to come back, losing 24-10 to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on the road. Not only are the Golden Hurricane a Group of Six team in the American Athletic Conference (AAC), but they reside in Oklahoma and are considered the "little brother" to the Cowboys and Oklahoma Sooners.
Little brother no more, as Tulsa has now beaten Oklahoma State in back-to-back seasons for the first time since the 1950's.
It was a stunning result, as Oklahoma State was favored by two touchdowns coming in and had received top-25 buzz after hiring North Texas head coach Eric Morris, who brought along quarterback Drew Mestemaker (the nation's leading passer in 2025), running back Caleb Hawkins and wide receiver Wyatt Young from the Mean Green — plus 63 other transfers, overhauling a roster that won just a single game last season.
With the trio of Mestemaker, Hawkins and Young that powered college football's top scoring offense at North Texas in 2025, their Week 2 matchup against Oregon in Stillwater was cooking up to be a highly-anticipated game between two explosive offenses. But the Cowboys were anything but explosive against the Golden Hurricane, producing just 10 points and four turnovers, with Mestemaker accounting for three (two interceptions, one lost fumble) himself.

In the penultimate game of playing 13 straight days, a shorthanded Houston Astros bullpen could not protect a lead. A chance to pad their division lead Saturday slipped away as a result.
Gabriel Moreno gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a go-ahead single in the 10th inning. The Astros went scoreless after the fifth, falling 4-3 in the middle game of a series at Daikin Park.
Houston lost for just the fourth time in 58 games this season when leading after six innings. It carried a 3-1 lead into the seventh. Lars Nootbaar halved the lead with an RBI double. Ketel Marte erased it with his 22nd home run in the eighth.
Jose Altuve was stranded after a one-out double in the bottom of the eighth. Josh Hader entered a tied game in the ninth and retired the side with 10 pitches. After the Astros went quietly in their half, Hader did not return for a second inning. He has worked multiple innings twice in 40 outings this season.
Bryan King drew the **** ignment, the left-hander's first outing since being recalled from Triple-A. Moreno served a one-out single to score Arizona's extra-innings runner. King allowed no further damage.

Naomi Osaka had her first round match at the US Open interrupted by influencers in the crowd. The tournament has seen an influx of influencers this year and the reaction has not been mixed as people just seem generally annoyed by their disruptions.
Osaka was asked about the influencers during a press conference following her round two victory. She noted that the umpire had "told everyone to be quiet more than I've ever heard an umpire tell a crowd to be quiet." And in her first round match she mostly ignored the noise, but there was a moment when people were shouting.
Osaka was diplomatic, pointing out that they could help grow the game, but wished they better followed the etiquette of the sport.

"I think obviously if you come to a sporting event, you have to respect the sport," Osaka said. "And I feel like it's common courtesy to read up on the sport, especially the etiquette. I feel like it could be a good thing for people to make the sport of tennis popular to their specific audience, but I think it has to be managed a lot better, especially in the situation like my first-round match. Overall, I think there are huge positives. I'm not the one to… you want people to continue to grow the sport."

The Chicago Blackhawks are tired of losing. Tied for the third-longest active postseason drought in the NHL at six seasons, the Blackhawks are trying to prove that the rebuild is nearing completion and that they're ready to make big strides this year to become competitive.
With Connor Bedard absent until mid-November after undergoing shoulder surgery in July, this is the perfect time for other players to prove they can step up. If the Blackhawks want to jump back into the playoffs this season, the team's youth will have to be a big piece of the puzzle.
In the 2025-26 season, the Blackhawks were tied for the NHL's second-youngest team by average age. It's no secret that they have maintained one of the league's most talented prospect pools since the start of their rebuild. The team has finished in the top 10 of The Athletic's NHL prospect pool rankings list in each of the past four years.
Over the past two seasons, we have seen more and more of these prospects break into the NHL and ease into full-time spots on the Blackhawks' roster. The question is: who will make the biggest leap in their development and establish themselves in the league?
With training camp just around the corner, there are already a few potential breakout candidates for the Chicago Blackhawks.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Despite being on pace for the first 100-loss season in franchise history, there may have never been more hope and optimism surrounding the future of the Angels than there is right now.
The Angels have seen sweeping changes to the organization over the last four months. A new team president, a new interim general manager, a new draft strategy, a change in approach at the trade deadline and other coaching and scouting department changes have already given fans hope for a better tomorrow.
But on Tuesday morning, the news that a large portion of Angels fans have been impatiently waiting for finally dropped.
Arte Moreno sold a majority ownership stake to Stan Kroenke.
"When I first came here, I spoke with Arte and he had mentioned that this was a possibility," interim general manager John Mozeliak said. "But to learn it this morning from (Angels president Molly Jolly), I was definitely surprised, but it wasn't a shocker. I think it's exciting news for everybody. I think change is what I came in to try to start doing, and I wasn't thinking that it would be at the very top, but we've certainly been working our way through the organization."

"Huge credit to LASK. They had 33 attempts on goal and they battered Celtic. It'll be up there as one of the worst nights. To lose a four-goal lead is not great. They'll come in for some criticism after that."

Florida has named its starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2026 season.
Georgia Tech transfer Aaron Philo will get the nod over redshirt freshman Tramell Jones Jr. when the Gators take on Florida Atlantic to begin the season on Sept. 5. Philo followed new offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner from Atlanta to Gainesville.
"We are preparing for (Philo) to be the starter for Week 1," coach Jon Sumrall announced on Monday.
Philo has familiarity with Faulkner's system and saw game action (albeit limited) during his time with the Yellow Jackets. The redshirt sophomore appeared in eight games, starting one, and threw for 938 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.

DETROIT (AP) — Joshua Dobbs ran for a 50-yard touchdown and the Detroit Lions held on for a 17-13 preseason win against the Washington Commanders on Saturday.
Dobbs, expected to back up quarterback Jared Goff this season, was 7 for 12 for 74 yards with an interception and a fumble. He had two carries for 53 yards.
Detroit (1-1) played a few starters, but none of its biggest stars. Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Penei Sewell sat out on offense, and Aidan Hutchinson was among the defensive absences.
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels started, but he and much of the starting offense left after going three-and-out on the first series. Daniels was sacked once and threw an incompletion on his only pass attempt.
Rookie Athan Kaliakmanis was impressive as the third Commanders quarterback, going 11 for 14 for 162 yards.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels started, but he and much of the starting offense left after going three-and-out on the first series. Daniels was sacked once and threw an incompletion on his only pass attempt.
Rookie Athan Kaliakmanis was impressive as the third Commanders quarterback, going 11 for 14 for 162 yards.

If Jalen Duren's negotiations drag on as long as they can, how would that affect Ausar Thompson's potential rookie-scale extension? John Hollinger: I see two dominoes here. First, the Pistons need to know what Duren's number will be on their books in 2028 and 2029 before they can finalize their cap planning and determine their best path for Thompson's next deal. Second, there is an important question of which player they value more, one that will play out rather publicly if Thompson inks an extension shortly after Duren's deal is completed. Of course, it's possible that, as with Duren, Detroit doesn't agree with Thompson on an extension and he becomes a restricted free agent next summer.

BOSTON (AP) — Adley Rutschman hit his first homer as a member of the Red Sox, Ranger Suarez picked up his first win since late June and Boston beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-4 on Tuesday night.
Mickey Gasper also homered for Boston and added an RBI single in the seventh as the Red Sox followed up their 16 hits in an 11-1 rout Monday night in the series opener with 13 more hits Tuesday. Eight players had at least one hit for Boston, which has won three of its last four games.
Gabriel Moreno hit a grand slam in the third for Arizona, extending his hitting streak to a career-best 12 games. The Diamondbacks have lost three straight and five of seven.
Arizona was without All-Star second-baseman Ketel Marte for the second straight night. Manager Torey Lovullo said before the game that he had been told Marte traveled to Phoenix for tests on his left knee after being a no-show for the series opener without much of an explanation. The club has placed Marte on the restricted list.
Rutschman had a two-run single in Boston's three-run first and added a solo homer that tied the game at 4 in the fourth. It was Rutschman's ninth homer of the season and first since the Red Sox acquired him in a trade-deadline deal with Baltimore earlier this month.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels had a tough 2025 season. Marred by multiple injuries that ultimately sidelined him for the season, Daniels is looking to rebound in 2026 and prove that he still belongs in talks with the most elite quarterbacks in the NFL.
While Daniels has been practicing during training camp and is fully healthy at this stage, Dan Quinn and his coaching staff elected to keep Daniels off the field for the team's first preseason game in 2026. As of right now, we don't know if Daniels will play in the second preseason game either, something he was asked about on Tuesday.
A reporter asks Quinn if he would be comfortable if Daniels played zero preseason snaps, and Quinn's answer might surprise you.
"Yes, I'd be comfortable with him and other veterans that have played to go," Quinn replied. "But we haven't decided in terms of will we or won't we. We had a joint last week; he got a lot of reps. He'll get a lot today and tomorrow going against our defense, so I'll have a better sense for where everybody is before we make any of those decisions. But he's thrown an incredible training camp. His accuracy, his command of it. A new system you wouldn't feel like that for him, but I've been certainly impressed by what I've seen so far with him."
This is Daniels' third season in the NFL, and last season didn't give him much experience. If Quinn doesn't want to end up on the hot seat this season, he needs to get Daniels some game-time reps against a different team. Forget joint practices; he needs in-game situations to evaluate and ensure his decision-making.

Newcastle United might be starting to sweat the state of its midfield and could be ready to ramp up its pursuit of Bayern Munich veteran João Palhinha:
Newcastle United have stepped up their pursuit of João Palhinha, opening direct talks with Bayern Munich as Matthias Jaissle attempts to rebuild a midfield stripped of two major players this summer. Newcastle explored Pierre-Emile Højbjerg before the Dane rejected the move, and Palhinha has now emerged as one of their clearest alternatives. The Portugal international also knows the Premier League extremely well following spells with Fulham and Tottenham, which could allow him to make an immediate impact.
The move would undoubtedly come down to just how much Bayern Munich is willing to sell Palhinha for. €30 million? €25 million? Less?
At this point, it is unclear, but time is ticking.
FC Barcelona is looking for a striker and could be taking a close look at ****** nal's Viktor Gyökeres:

Two teams desperate for success meet when England and Pakistan begin a three-test series on Wednesday in Leeds.
Neither has won a series of two tests or more in almost two years. England's last such triumph was in December 2024 in New Zealand. Pakistan's last was in October that same year at home against England.
Since then there's been mainly suffering.
England's Ashes series in Australia unravelled in less than 11 days. England was blown away as coach Brendon McCullum overestimated and underprepared his side, and captain Ben Stokes lost faith in Bazball.
England had a chance to wipe the slate clean but McCullum and Stokes stayed. In June, Stokes over-celebrated a win against New Zealand achieved on a trashy Lord's pitch and was suspended, and the no-nonsense Kiwis ruthlessly came from behind and took the series.

Week 17 of Bowman Gray Stadium's 2026 racing season could be its most action-packed Saturday yet. FOX 8 WGHP is back as a presenting partner for Twin-50 lap races in the Brad's Golf Cars Modified Division. Sportsman, Stadium Stocks and Street Stocks all return too along with a Skid Race for the second-to-last round of Madhouse mayhem.
This week's lineup includes 20 laps for the QRC HVAC & Refrigeration Street Stocks and one or two 15-lap features for the Q104.1 Stadium Stock Division, depending on the car count.
The Modifieds will host the second and final Twin-50 night of the season. The Law Offices of John Barrow Sportsman division are also holding Twin-20 lap events. Saturday will wrap up with a five-lap Skid Race as well.
Points battles remain in multiple series, with a few contenders still in striking distance. Burt Myers' Modified points lead is down to 10 over Tim Brown after Myers ran into late trouble last week, while Brown finished second. Brown and his No. 83 still eye a 150th career pole position this week as well.
Law Offices of John Barrow Sportsman contenders Billy Gregg and Justin Taylor are now 15 points apart. They tangled on the last lap a week ago, opening the door for Nate Gregg.
