CLEVELAND — Jose Ramirez rescued the Guardians in the American League Division Series with a tremendous three-game run to lift Cleveland to the ALCS, but with their playoff journey coming to an end all the focus turns to an injury that hamstrung him for the second half of the season.
Ramirez underwent hamate bone surgery in mid-June and returned to the lineup July 22, but he was struggling to be as productive while playing through the left wrist/hand issue. It can often be difficult for hitters to fully return to form in the aftermath of a hamate bone surgery.
His season numbers had already been a bit down from his career averages, but after the procedure he hit just .229 with a .598 OPS over the final 53 games, a stretch that included only two home runs, as his power seemed to be sapped.
It was painfully clear Ramirez was playing while hurt and the procedure was having a negative impact. It was also unlikely he'd do further damage, and the Guardians appreciated anything the star third baseman might be able to give them. A one-handed Ramirez is still a better sight in the everyday lineup than calling someone off the bench, especially as he insisted to play every day.
"I mean, obviously, it took a toll on him," said Guardians manager Stephen Vogt, who also reiterated his commitment to Cleveland while some rumors about the Seattle Mariners had stated to run rampant. "He was out there giving us everything he had. He wasn't playing at 100 percent, but that never changed his demeanor or the way he went about his business. And I think that just speaks to who he is as a person and a baseball player.

Catherine Breed completed a never-before-attempted 900-mile open-water swim along the entire California coast on Sunday.
The 33-year-old, record-setting marathon swimmer from Mill Valley battled chilly, unpredictable Pacific waters for four months. She began the unprecedented expedition at the Oregon border on July 1, and expected to reach Mexican waters in November. Breed finished ahead of schedule.
"For months, I measured my world in the next few miles," Breed said. "Every message from someone following along, every person who came out to cheer, helped me get back in the water."
Along the way, Breed swam past the Golden Gate Bridge, the kelp forests of the Monterey Bay and around Point Conception near Santa Barbara, averaging more than 10 miles a day through notoriously rugged waters. Fans following along on social media and gathering at meeting points celebrated each stroke.
The marathon swim project, dubbed "Swim California," was a complex team operation. In the water, a pacer tossed Breed protein shakes in a thermos for sustenance. Breed and the crew accompanying her in a 52-foot sailboat made land each night before returning to the spot she left off. At times, they were forced to wait for suitable weather to advance through the coast's most remote stretches.

The FedEx Cup Fall is here.
The 2026 Biltmore Championship, a new PGA Tour event in Asheville, North Carolina, kicks off Thursday. The Presidents Cup is set for next week outside of Chicago, but the first Tour event since the season-ending Tour Championship is up. The Cliffs at Walnut Grove will host the tournament. The layout is a par-71 measuring 7,249 yards.
Being a fall event, the purse is significantly smaller than most events from the regular season. The biggest name initially in the field, Justin Thomas, withdrew Sunday, too, but there are other notables set to take on the Biltmore.
Here's a look at the purse and prize money payouts for the 2026 Biltmore Championship, where $5 million is up for grabs in Asheville, North Carolina.

A fourth nine-figure signing? One club has slapped enormous valuations on their players - and that will hit Liverpool.
Liverpool have spent unprecedented amounts of cash in the last two summers. They've gone from zero nine-figure signings to three a little over a year, completely reshaping their attack with elite talent.
Now, it should be said that the transfers haven't quite delivered yet. Liverpool took a giant step backwards last season and are trying to get back on track in this campaign under Andoni Iraola.
And we should stress that the squad building process is not done. Richard Hughes has left behind a very imbalanced squad, one which lacks a right-winger as well as midfield depth.
The Reds must re-enter the market in 2027 to correct things, then, and they've naturally had a look at three players from Iraola's former club, Bournemouth. However, none of those players are coming cheap.

The Green Bay Packers have become the NFC's Baltimore Ravens under head coach Matt LaFleur. They've found a way to stack winning regular seasons around an electric quarterback. Then, they crumble into powder in the postseason.
LaFleur is 76-40-1 in Weeks 1-18 and 3-6 in win-or-go-home playoff games. Jordan Love has advanced beyond the Wild Card round only once. His most recent postseason start saw a 21-3 halftime lead become a 31-27 Chicago Bears victory.
That leaves plenty to prove in 2026 and a roster loaded with holes. Wideouts Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks have departed. Josh Jacobs is on the exempt list as the league sorts out the domestic violence charges against him. Micah Parsons will miss at least the first four weeks of the season as he recovers from a torn ACL.
This year's Packers look like a diminished version of the one that stalked the NFC North in years past. What comes next?
Several new additions will have larger roles for the Packers, including linebacker Zaire Franklin and second round rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse. None may be able to provide more peace of mind than Smack if he can live up to his draft status.

Guardians news: Cleveland hoping for Rhys Hoskins boost before playoffs appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Cleveland Guardians are continuing to battle for a playoff spot. They are only two games behind the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central division, while Cleveland also holds the third and final AL Wild Card spot at the moment. One of their better power hitters, Rhys Hoskins, is currently on the injured list, however. The Guardians have some uncertainty and would benefit from his return, but will the slugger be available for the postseason?
According to MLB.com, Hoskins is expected to return "potentially" in September. He's been dealing with lower back inflammation but is reportedly participating in baseball activities and the Guardians are hoping to have him available for the playoffs.
Hoskins, 33, was hitting just .179 with a .682 OPS before landing on the IL. He hit 13 home runs, which is one of the higher marks on the Guardians. In fact, the only Guardians with more long ***** this season are Jo Adell, Nathaniel Lowe, Chase DeLauter and Angel Martinez.

Nelly Korda is the No. 1 in the world, a multiple major winner and an Olympic gold medalist.
Still, for all her individual accolades, nothing in golf beats putting on the Team USA uniform and representing her country at the Solheim Cup.
"There's no greater feeling," Korda says, "especially stepping onto that first tee box."
This week could be even more special for the biggest name in women's golf.
Korda is spearheading the United States' attempt to win the Solheim Cup on European soil for the first time since 2015 in the matches that start Friday in the Netherlands. After regaining the crystal trophy in 2024, the Americans need only 14 points at Bernardus Golf course to keep possession.

Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith is scheduled to undergo thumb surgery Tuesday and will be placed on injured reserve, the team announced Sunday. A pro bowler each of the last three years, Smith is set to miss the first four weeks of the season, at least, and potentially more after head coach Brian Schottenheimer put his timeline at 4-6 weeks.
It's a tough break for a Cowboys offensive line looking to take another step forward in 2026 after paving the way for a top-10 rushing offense last season. With questions still remaining at right tackle, Smith's absence makes the line significantly weaker and changes the fantasy outlook for starting running back Javonte Williams.
One of the breakout fantasy stars of 2025, Williams won't find it easy repeating last year's 1,200-yard campaign and 4.8 yards per carry with Smith out.
Depending how Smith's backup performs in pass protection, this injury could also have an impact on Dak Prescott and his pass catchers after Dallas' line allowed the ninth-fewest sacks in 2025. But as a guard, Smith's impact begins in the rushing attack.
On the bright side, the pro bowler who only missed one game last season will return at some point. So any dip in fantasy value for Williams and others should only be temporary.

Andrew Symonds once produced one of the rarest scoring feats in Test cricket, collecting eight runs from a single delivery during Australia's Test against New Zealand at the Gabba in Brisbane in 2008-09.
The bizarre sequence involved an all-run four followed by four overthrows, with New Zealand fast bowler Iain O'Brien at the centre of the drama. There was an added twist to the incident, as O'Brien had seen Symonds dropped off the previous delivery before eventually dismissing him just two ****** later.
Australia were 124 for four in the 46th over after Ricky Ponting had decided to bat in Brisbane.
O'Brien opened the over with a bouncer, which Symonds ducked under. The bowler went short again with his next delivery, and this time Symonds pulled the ball towards mid-wicket.
However, Aaron Redmond put down the chance.
O'Brien responded as fast bowlers often do after a missed opportunity, sending down another short delivery. This time, the ball was outside off-stump and Symonds attacked it ferociously with a pull.
The enormous Gabba outfield slowed the ball down, but Symonds and Michael Clarke had already completed three runs by the time Redmond got to it.
The pair then decided to push for another run, hoping to take advantage of the throw.
That decision produced chaos.
New Zealand wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum moved across to collect the return. He gathered the ball, turned and threw it towards the stumps, only to discover that Symonds had already made his ground.
There was another problem for New Zealand. ****** ody was positioned behind the wicketkeeper to stop the throw.
The ball therefore continued all the way to the boundary. Symonds had effectively turned a pull shot into an extraordinary eight-run haul.
Umpire Rudi Koertzen then signalled the total by raising eight fingers, meaning eight runs were added to Australia's score and Symonds' tally.
It was two more than the figure commonly described as the maximum possible from a single delivery and even one more than the total India received in a penalty-run incident against Bangladesh at Chattogram.
Symonds' eight-run delivery was only the fourth known instance of eight runs being scored from a single ball in Test cricket at that point.
The first recorded example came in Melbourne during the 1928-29 series, which was also the final Test of Don Bradman's first series.
England's Patsy Hendren scored eight after completing four runs and then benefiting from four overthrows off Australian debutant Percy Hornibrook.
Another unusual eight-run delivery occurred in Melbourne during the 1980-81 season.
New Zealand's John Wright was the beneficiary on that occasion. He ran four before four overthrows followed after Rod Marsh collected the fielder's return and threw the ball towards the stumps. The throw escaped and Wright picked up the additional runs off Lenny Pascoe's delivery.
The other known instance before Symonds came in Port-of-Spain during the

The new Women's Super League season will be the first with an official fantasy game.
Launched on August 19, 16 days before the start of the 2026-27 season, the game is the next step in the league's pursuit of more engagement with existing fans and a broader toolkit to attract new ones.
The extremely popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game was born 24 years ago, ahead of the 2002-03 season. At the end of last season, FPL had over 13million users around the world.
Naturally, in the quickly evolving world of women's football, one can't just copy and paste what has achieved success in men's football when it comes to creating an addictive game where users create a team that earns points for WSL players' real-life performances.
"I think there was an ******* umption that core fans love playing fantasy," Joey Davidson, head of digital products at the WSL, tells The Athletic. "But I think we also had to acknowledge that a core fan of the Premier League, for example, was very different in their behaviours from a core fan from the WSL."

Somewhat surprisingly, Liverpool made plenty of changes to their ranks this summer.
Indeed, fans knew that moves needed to be made but, after their £450 million spend last term, most people were unsure about how much money FSG would've been willing to spend.
If Bradley Barcola hadn't joined, the window would've been an absolute travesty but, since his £100 million + move was confirmed, the Reds' spending was high again.
Despite the Frenchman's arrival, new players are still needed before it feels like the Reds are definitely ready to challenge for silverware again.
Of course, they'll still be seen as one of the Premier League's biggest teams but, unless Andoni Iraola manages to get his players performing to the standards expected of them soon, they could be left behind by their rivals.

Joshua Kushner – the brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner – has expressed regret at becoming involved in the controversial plans of Fifa president Gianni Infantino to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investment.
Kushner is the founder and chief executive of venture capital firm Thrive Capital, and had held talks with Infantino about heading up a $4.2bn (£3.1bn) investment in 20 per cent of a proposed new Fifa commercial subsidiary, Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE).
However, the idea was abandoned just days after it was revealed amid a huge backlash and Uefa is now preparing to bring a criminal complaint against Infantino in Switzerland for "criminal mismanagement".

Infantino's sell-off scheme collapsed within days last month after Uefa threatened to boycott the World Cup and other Fifa competitions, although the European governing body recently called off its boycott after saying it had received "assurances" that Fifa would not attempt to sell off stakes in its competition again.

One week into the Texas high school football season and several Wichita Falls-area players have made their mark. From career-high games to quarterbacks leading their teams to crucial opening-week wins, Week 1 produced no shortage of standout performances.
We narrowed the field to four candidates for Wichita Falls-area Athlete of the Week. Nominations can be sent by 5 p.m. Saturday by coaching staffs in and around the Wichita Falls area to sportstimesrecordnews.com.
Read about each nominee below and cast your vote. The poll is set to close at noon Friday, Sept. 4.
Birkhead made the most of his first game as Memorial's starting quarterback, throwing for 394 yards and a school-record seven touchdowns in the Mavericks' 54-34 season-opening win over Fort Worth Paschal. Six of his touchdown passes came in the first half as Memorial built a 47-22 halftime lead to help Ross Dillard pick up his first win as a head coach.
Belcher accounted for seven touchdowns in Windthorst's 49-43 win over Holliday. The senior quarterback completed 22 of 30 passes for 318 yards and four touchdowns while adding 122 rushing yards and three scores to help the Trojans down the Eagles in both teams' season opener. He nearly came down with an interception on defense as well but was ruled out of bounds.

Six of his touchdown passes came in the first half as Memorial built a 47-22 halftime lead to help Ross Dillard pick up his first win as a head coach.
Belcher accounted for seven touchdowns in Windthorst's 49-43 win over Holliday. The senior quarterback completed 22 of 30 passes for 318 yards and four touchdowns while adding 122 rushing yards and three scores to help the Trojans down the Eagles in both teams' season opener. He nearly came down with an interception on defense as well but was ruled out of bounds.

The NBA offseason is beginning to wind down and training camp is right around the corner in the league. For young Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe, he is going through his first full NBA summer and is preparing for year No. 2 and facing a ton of expectations.
Edgecombe averaged 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.2 ****** ists along with 1.4 steals per game. He had a big game in the postseason when he had 30 points and 10 rebounds in a Game 2 win over the Boston Celtics as he became the first rookie to have 30 and 10 in a game since Tim Duncan in 1998.
As he prepares for year 2, Edgecombe is in the gym playing open runs with established stars such as Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, and more.
If Edgecombe can learn anything from the likes of Irving, it would be a big step for his development. Obviously, Irving is one of the bigger stars in the league and the young man out of Baylor can learn a lot from him, especially when it comes to playing next to LeBron James. Irving spent three seasons as James' teammate with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Edgecombe can take some lessons on what to expect.

Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has reportedly reached an agreement with Fiorentina on personal terms.
The 25-year-old has been the odd man out in Michael Carrick's attacking department since the manager's appointment in January.
The English tactician sent a clear message to the player by keeping him on the bench against Hull City on the opening day of the Premier League, even with the team desperate for goals that never came.

Following the latest omission, Zirkzee has understood he's no longer wanted at United. Therefore, the versatile forward is now ready to entertain offers, as he risks spending another campaign as a benchwarmer.

Manchester United's search for a left-back has developed into a longer game, with Lewis Hall still viewed as the standout target despite Newcastle United's firm position this summer. Credit to Ben Jacobs for The United Stand, whose latest update suggests Old Trafford decision-makers believe there is still a realistic route to the player, even if any immediate move remains highly unlikely.
Hall, 21, has been admired internally for some time and is considered a strong stylistic fit for Manchester United. Yet Newcastle's message has been consistent. After several notable exits from St James' Park during this window, the club have had no intention of entertaining a sale. That has effectively shut down any prospect of a late summer breakthrough.
What keeps the situation alive for United is the belief that the player remains open to the move in the future. "The signs from the Hall camp are he sees a very strong fit at Manchester United," Jacobs said. That confidence appears central to United's thinking, especially as they weigh whether to commit significant funds to another option now or preserve flexibility for a future push.
United have discussed other names, including Alejandro Balde and Jorge Salinas, but Hall continues to stand apart as the priority profile. The recruitment logic is understandable. He offers age, Premier League experience, technical quality and room for further development, all while filling a position that has demanded greater stability.
Newcastle, however, are moving to strengthen their own position. Hall is in talks over a new contract, and Matthias Jaissle has already made clear that Manchester United have "no chance" of signing him. Even so, there is a view at Old Trafford that a new deal would not automatically remove the possibility of a future transfer. "A new deal doesn't mean not for sale," Jacobs added.

French former football player Thierry Henry shows the paper slip of Real Madrid CF (ESP) during the draw ceremony for the league phase of the 2026-2027 UEFA Champions League football tournament at the Grimaldi Forum in the Principality of Monaco on August 27, 2026. (Photo by Valery HACHE / AFP via Getty Images)
Real Madrid learned their opponents for the 2026/27 Champions League league phase on Thursday, as UEFA held this season's draw in Geneva. Under the competition's Swiss-style format, now in its third year, Real Madrid will play eight league-phase matches, four at home and four away, against sides drawn from four seeding pots rather than the old group of four.
This year's draw pairs Real Madrid with Inter Milan and ******* nal from Pot One, PSV Eindhoven and Roma from Pot Two, Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk from Pot Three, and LASK and AEK Athens from Pot Four. It is a mix of old rivals and near strangers, given that ******* nal beat Real Madrid out of the quarter-finals only two years ago, Roma once knocked them out under coach José Mourinho's old adversaries, and LASK have never faced them at all.
Real Madrid go into the campaign looking to bounce back from a run of three quarter-final exits in four seasons, sandwiched around their 15th European Cup in 2023/24. The league phase runs from September through January, with matchday dates and kick-off times still to be confirmed by UEFA, before the knockout rounds begin in February and build toward the final at Madrid's own Estadio Metropolitano next June.
Pot one of the draw brings the heaviest company, Inter Milan at home and ******* nal away. Real Madrid's record against Inter is one of the most one-sided in the competition, eight wins from nine home meetings and four straight victories in their recent run. ******* nal is a different proposition. The two clubs have met just twice, back in 2005/06, before colliding again in the 2024-25 quarter-finals, when ******* nal won 5-1 on aggregate and hold the head-to-head edge from all three meetings.

On paper, the Atlanta Hawks made improvements from last season. Although they didn't have the most exciting offseason, they made enough progress to build on last season's accomplishments.
Hawks GM Onsi Saleh used this offseason to establish an identity. There is no doubt that Atlanta expects to be among the top defensive teams in the NBA next season. A common theme of the Trae Young era was that the Hawks had a great offense, but a not-so-great defense. Of course, that isn't entirely Young's fault, but now that Atlanta has moved on, its roster construction and philosophy have shifted.
The Hawks made big improvements to become a top defensive team. On offense, Atlanta has prioritized athleticism, which allows them to excel in transition. For instance, the Hawks ranked fourth in the NBA last season in transition possessions and points per game.
Atlanta will enter next season with a clear identity. That said, one major question remains if the Hawks want to reach their potential.
Because they frequently play in transition, the Hawks ranked fifth in the NBA in pace last season. Their offensive identity involved turning defense into offense and running in transition. Last season, Atlanta finished 10th in points in the paint (just over 51.1 PPG). The Hawks' style of play made players like Jonathan **** inga a great fit last season.

Why Heat fans are ecstatic after Giannis Antetokounmpo's latest post on Instagram originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
As the new Miami Heat superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo knows he has a big season ahead of him in the 2026-27 campaign. Considering that everyone has expected him to leave the Milwaukee Bucks for a long while now, they have even bigger expectations for him to deliver on that hype.
While it seems like a huge challenge for any player to overcome, Giannis seems giddy to prove everyone wrong. A two-time MVP showing a lot of confidence is nothing new, but he has been quite vocal about how he expects the 2026-27 season to go.
While a lot of people's attention is on the Philadelphia 76ers because of the superteam they have created in the offseason, that should not take away from what the Heat just did. They have gone from being a mediocre team over the past few seasons to becoming a potential contender.
Getting a two-time MVP does that, but it also shows that Giannis himself believes in the project. He is ecstatic to be part of the Heat now, and he will be ready to showcase why he and Bam Adebayo are arguably the best frontcourt partnership in the league.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rookie Ryan Johnson carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning for second time this season and three Los Angeles Angels pitchers combined for a one-hitter in a 3-0 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.
Johnson (3-7) struck out three in a career-high seven innings and won for the first time since July 19. He allowed only Cody Freeman's leadoff single in the sixth inning and two walks with a hit batter. On June 23, the 24-year-old right-hander threw 6 1/3 innings of no-hit ball in beating Baltimore 5-1.
Rookie Ryan Watson followed Michael Fulmer and recorded his second save.
Zach Neto went 3 for 5 with two doubles, a triple and two runs two nights after going 5 for 6 at Houston. The Angels (52-78) beat the Rangers (64-66), who are competing for an AL playoff spot, for the eighth time in 12 games this season.
Johnson defeated left-hander Cody Bradford (0-2) in a matchup of Dallas-Fort Worth players.

The individual who tossed a green **** toy onto the court during a game between the Los Angeles Sparks and Atlanta Dream on Thursday has been arrested and indefinitely banned from all WNBA, NBA and affiliated league games and events, a league source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Athletic.
The person hurled the toy during the third quarter of the Dream's 124-88 win, a theme that began last season when objects were thrown onto the court at various games. The **** toy was tossed in front of the Sparks bench as Los Angeles forward Jihyun Park was at the free-throw line.
Before Park attempted her free throw, a referee blew her whistle to stop play. Dream forward Angel Reese quickly pointed out the perpetrator from her seat on the bench; security removed the toy, and arena security apprehended the spectator. In video footage that surfaced on social media, the perpetrator tried to flee the arena after being accused, but police quickly detained the individual.
The WNBA plans to work closely with law enforcement authorities to hold individuals accountable for throwing objects onto the court, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly.
Sex toys being thrown onto the court became an issue last season in July, when an object was thrown onto the court across six games, including in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Phoenix and Los Angeles. Police arrested two people — 18-year-old Kaden Lopez in Phoenix and 23-year-old Delbert Carver in Georgia — as they were behind a group money scheme with cryptocurrency.

What did Washington Commanders rookie linebacker Sonny Styles think of his first career game against the Miami Dolphins last week? Styles played only one series against Miami, and it didn't go well. No, Styles wasn't bad, but the results were, as the Dolphins ran 14 plays and drove 93 yards for a touchdown.
The Commanders won 20-7. Miami's last 11 drives ended without another score. Washington also forced four turnovers. Yet, Styles can't get that one drive out of his mind.
"Me and [LB] Leo [Chenal] were a little frustrated," Styles said with a smile. "One drive, one touchdown, like 15 plays, so, not ideal, but go again next week."
If you're a Washington coach, that should make you happy. That's how you wanted Styles to respond, even if the game meant nothing in the standings and Styles was playing with mostly backups.
Now that he's had a few days to think on it, how would Styles **** s his performance?

Lakers receive positive update for landing Nuggets' Nikola Jokic after Peyton Watson trade originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Los Angeles Lakers are beginning to build their future around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves after moving on from LeBron James. It has been an eventful summer, with significant turnover throughout the roster as Los Angeles looks to create a team capable of competing for championships.
Doncic is excited about what is ahead for the Lakers, but he also wants to win now.
"Dončić being just 26 gives the Lakers a far longer timeline to build a championship-contending team, but that doesn't mean they can slow down and take their time. Dončić told Lakers president Rob Pelinka and coach JJ Redick in May that he's not interested in taking the slow approach in building a contender," CBS Sports' Jasmyn Wimbish wrote.
On Wednesday, the Denver Nuggets traded Peyton Watson to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a five-team deal. The move left Denver without one of its most promising young players and raised questions about the team's long-term direction alongside Nikola Jokic.

What channel is Texans vs. Raiders on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch NFL Week 2 preseason game originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After positive reviews in his NFL preseason debut, top overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza will be in the spotlight once again as the Raiders travel to Houston to face the Texans on Thursday.
Though Kirk Cousins will once again get the start in this game and presumably Week 1 of the regular season, Mendoza is the player NFL watchers want to see as the Heisman Trophy winner continues his adjustment to the pros. He completed 10 of 16 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown last week against the Cardinals and should get another extended look in Week 2.
On the other side, Houston figures to roll out C.J. Stroud for his first action of the preseason after riding with Davis Mills and Graham Mertz last week. Mertz suffered a season-ending knee injury in the loss to the Chargers, leading the team to sign veteran Brett Rypien this week for additional depth.
Both teams will do their best to avoid another injury like that one tonight while still getting in key reps. Here's all you need to know to tune in and watch the preseason Week 2 game.
