The Green Bay Packers beat the Carolina Panthers 27-19 at Lambeau Field to improve to 5-3 on the season. They turned what looked like a potentially comfortable victory into a bit of a nail-biter, but overall were good value for the win as they bounced back from a tough loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Here are five takeaways from Green Bay's win on "Thursday Night Football" from Lambeau Field:
There was still plenty wrong with the Packers offense on Thursday night. The run game remained lifeless despite Josh Jacobs' return, there were more drops by Matthew Golden and a fumble by Christian Watson.
But when Jordan Love is rolling like he was for most of this game, none of it seems to matter. He was in a rhythm throughout the first half and much of the second, helped by a pretty decent pocket to throw from.
Love ended the night 30 of 41 (73.2%) passing for 288 yards, three touchdowns and a pick, in a game which was another reminder that as long as he is protected, the offense will put up points.

Colts' Shane Steichen squashes Daniel Jones speculations after loss to **** ans appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Coach Shane Steichen's Colts are 2-4 on the season after losing 26-20 to Tennessee in a game that saw Robert Saleh get his first win as **** ans head coach, while making life **** on Daniel Jones. Jones, the Colts' starting QB, got a Tyler Warren injury update before the game that ended up as worst-case scenario as the key tight end didn't play.
The day got progressively worse from there as the Colts' starter was sacked six times against Saleh's team. The Colts piled up 399 yards of total offense but it wasn't enough to get a win. Steichen addressed the QB situation amid speculation that Anthony Richardson might get a shot in Week 7, as shared by NFL on ESPN.
"I think he knows he's gotta play better, I've gotta coach better, there's a lot of things, it's not on one guy, but we've gotta do a lot of things better…Yes, he's our starting quarterback," Steichen replied when pressed further on the matter.

It was a nail biter, but the San Diego Padres came away from it with a seven-game win streak and back-to-back sweeps for the third time this season. It was a great game to cap off the sweep. Ethan Salas finally notched his first big-league hit with a triple in Oracle Park, Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-4 with two RBI and Manny Machado launched his 27th home run of the season.
The Friars will now turn to the Colorado Rockies to round out their penultimate road trip of the 2026 season. It's a four-game set in the hitter-friendly environs of Coors Field. With the way the Padres have been swinging their bats lately (37 runs in their last six games; 6.2 runs per game), they should have no problem keeping the good vibes rolling.
Sugano has been surprisingly good in the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. That said, he's still pitched to a 5.30 ERA. But that number goes down to 4.96 at home compared to 5.64 away. It's an interesting split to have when Colorado is known for being a hitter's dream.
The righty has been particularly awful recently. In his last seven starts, Sugano has pitched to a 7.71 ERA across 35 innings pitched. In his last three starts, he's surrendered a whopping 14 runs (16.0 IP). If San Diego's recently potent lineup can take advantage of that, they would be well on their way to their eighth straight win.
Since joining the Padres, it's no secret that Mize has struggled. He's posted a dismal 6.34 ERA in his first seven games. Much of that is believed to be due to a groin injury that Mize has been pitching through. It was reported earlier this week that that injury was the reason many scouts decided against Mize, lowering his trade stock.

It's halftime in Austin with Ohio State and Texas engaging in one of the most anticipated nonconference games of the college football season. The Buckeyes used some Longhorn mistakes and some excellent play on both sides of the ball to take a 20-3 lead into the locker room, which is banking the national narrative in this one.
We like to look back on the first half and take three observations and takeaways from what we saw through the first 30 minutes of action, and in this case, there's plenty to talk about. Here are three observations from what we saw from the Buckeyes and Longhorns in the first half of what should be one whale of a second half to finish this thing out.

The defense hasn't been very stingy in stopping the run through the middle, but it has been very opportunistic in forcing two turnovers. Both of them led to two scores and have really been the difference in the game so far. You have to think that the turnovers aren't going to continue, so Ohio State will have to continue to make plays while getting equal possessions.

Forrest Dolan and Adam Cook posted 100-yard games on the ground as Franklin Pierce's Power-T offense ran over Peninsula, 42-14, across the Narrows on Thursday night.
The Cardinals piled 448 total rushing yards, fueled by Dolan (22 CAR, 187 YDS, TD) and Cook (18 CAR, 123 YDS, TD). Quarterback Jeremiah Orcutt added 58 yards and two rushing touchdowns on three carries.
"I was proud of the way our guys responded tonight," Franklin Pierce head coach Trevor Hanson said. "We played physical, ran the football extremely well with 400+ yards on the ground, and defensively created takeaways and ran to the football. That's the kind of complementary FP football we want to play.

Rangers news: Jacob deGrom's strong start ends with concerning injury update appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Texas Rangers star pitcher Jacob deGrom pitched well on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. However, he was removed after throwing 92 pitches through six innings, a decision that Rangers manager Skip Schumaker later said was due to an injury concern, via Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.
"Skip Schumaker said that Jacob deGrom was dealing with groin tightness through much of his start today. That's what the mound visit was about in the sixth and that's also why he didn't come back out for the seventh," Landry reported.
deGrom was indeed terrific while on the mound despite battling groin tightness throughout the outing. The veteran right-hander struck out 12 Mariners through six innings while allowing no runs and only one hit. Disaster struck following deGrom's departure from the contest, as Jakob Junis allowed four runs. The Rangers were defeated 4-3, a loss that dealt a blow to a team that is competing for a postseason spot.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has warned Michael Carrick that he may have a major problem on his hands with Matheus Cunha.
Several United players underperformed in Sunday's stalemate with Everton, but Cunha was the worst of the lot.
From overhit passes and heavy touches to poor positional awareness and glaring misses, his performance was a catalogue of errors. There was simply too much that went wrong.
In yet another game, Cunha didn't appear to have a clear role in the team. Last term, Carrick primarily used him on the left of the attack. But Marcus Rashford's return has seen him pushed elsewhere in the team.

For the second time in less than two weeks, the Brewers are set to face off with the Cubs. The two squads split a four-game set at Wrigley last week, and Milwaukee will play host for three games this week, the final regular-season showdown between the teams this year. Milwaukee is 6-4 against Chicago this season, though just 1-2 at home.
Since their last matchup, the Brewers dropped two of three to the Reds in Cincinnati, while the Cubs took two of three from the Marlins in Miami.
No big injury or roster updates on either side, though Chicago outfielder Ian Happ is considered day-to-day with left knee discomfort, and pitcher Javier ******* ad was recalled from Triple-A to replace Tyler Ferguson, who was optioned. Milwaukee's lone roster move is a waiver move, as Joel Kuhnel, who was DFA'd last week, was claimed by the Giants on Friday.
Just to remind you of what these two teams bring to the table offensively and on the mound, here's a quick rundown of both squads.
Milwaukee is hitting .256/.339/.400 (.739 OPS ranks fifth), with 133 homers (last), 726 runs scored (third), and 140 steals (tied for fourth). The Cubs are hitting .252/.340/.431 (.771 OPS ranks first), with 201 homers (first), 768 runs scored (first), and 102 steals (10th). Two high-scoring offenses, two very different ways of doing it.

Tennessee linebacker Amare Campbell didn't have much to say about Xavier Gilliam's performance.
Campbell, who played alongside the 6-foot-2, 305-pound defensive tackle at Penn State a year ago, called Gilliam's outing on Sept. 5 against Furman "the standard." Gilliam recorded three sacks in his Tennessee football debut, adding five tackles for loss — the most sacks by a UT defender since Darrell Taylor had four on Nov. 10, 2018. He also forced the first fumble of his career while sharing the team-lead in tackles with Campbell at six.
Gilliam's relentless pursuit helped the No. 18 Vols (1-0) to a 56-9 win over the Paladins at Neyland Stadium. More importantly, it proved he could back up continued praise for the consistency.
"Today, that's what he's supposed to do," Campbell said.
Tennessee's defense suffocated Furman, tallying six sacks and 12 tackles for loss. The Vols' season-high in sacks last year was six against Mississippi State.

Good morning, Chargers fans!
There's likely a number of different players and/or coaches you could name as an X-factor for the Chargers this year. From an interior offensive lineman, to offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, to one of the team's intriguing tight ends, there's almost more than you can count.
However, it was wide receiver Quentin Johnston that was deemed the team's biggest X-factor by ESPN's Ben Solak due to his potential inside McDaniels' offense alongside Ladd McConkey.
Here's everything Solak had to say about why QJ was too good of a choice for this exercise:
"Johnston is once again an enormously high-leverage player in the Chargers' offense. Though much of the fantasy football attention is rightfully on Ladd McConkey, whom I anticipate leading the Chargers in targets, Johnston could benefit most from coordinator Mike McDaniel's offense."

Sep. 3—Section 1, Class 2A football turned into a slugfest in 2025. It was as wide-open and competitive of a section as there was in the state.
Five of the seven teams in the section finished the regular season at or better than .500, and the top two seeds were defeated on their home fields in the section semifinals. The No. 3 seed won the section championship, which should actually be no surprise considering it was ...
It was rinse and repeat in 2025 for the Warriors, who finished 9-3 overall and won their 15th section championship in 20 years.
The Warriors allowed a section-best 11.3 points per game, and will again feature playmakers all over the field. That group includes two of the best juniors in southeastern Minnesota and the state — defensive lineman Max Schmitz (57 tackles, 8 sacks) and linebacker Cooper Allen (114 total tackles, 2 forced fumbles).
Senior wide receiver/linebacker Coby Hammell is a talented two-way player. The University of North Dakota commit had 21 catches for 415 yards and 5 touchdowns last fall, and on defense he recorded 28 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 interception.

Cardale Jones never envisioned being a football coach.
It's a ***** le he's still trying to get used to after joining Matty Jacowleff's staff at Staples as quarterbacks coach this summer.
Part of the fun, of course, is when players find out about Jones' past, a history that features a national championship at Ohio State in 2014.
So how often do the players bring up the championship while working with Jones?
"Every day," Jones said with a laugh. "These guys are insane. They're relentless. Every day, it's another kid coming up to me and saying 'coach Jones, in my free period today, I looked you up on YouTube. I watched you play with this guy and that guy. Man, you were good.'

AS Monaco's Folarin Balogun (25) has turned down a move to Everton, scuppering his transfer to the Toffees, according to reports in The Athletic.
This is an unexpected turn of events, given that the two clubs had reached a renegotiated agreement worth around €50m, after the English club had expressed their doubts to their French counterparts about the deal going through.
Everton, who were looking to strengthen their attack following the sales of Iliman Ndiaye (26) to Manchester City and Beto (28) to Fiorentina, had earlier on Tuesday tried unsuccessfully to persuade Manchester United to grant them a loan for Joshua Zirkzee (25).
Balogun, who was at the Finch Farm training ground, has ultimately decided not to sign for the Premier League club and to return to Monaco. A major blow for both Everton and ASM, who were counting on the sale of the US international to boost their finances, after cancelling Lamine Camara's (22) transfer to Chelsea earlier in the evening.

Juventus are still hoping to shift Jonathan David before the close of the summer transfer window and the latest updates claim that Atletico Madrid have submitted a formal offer for the Canada international.
David joined Juventus on a free transfer last summer after five productive years in Ligue 1 with Lille, but failed to convince in Serie A in a disappointing season on a personal and collective level, which resulted in a fifth-place finish and no Champions League football for 2026-27.

Juventus have already brought in a new centre-forward this summer in Randal Kolo Muani, considered a direct replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, but the Bianconeri are also hoping to replace David before the end of the window as well.
According to the latest reports from Fabrizio Romano, Atletico Madrid have recently submitted an official offer to sign David on loan with an option to buy and that the Canada international is 'open' to joining Diego Simeone's side.

January was a busy month for the Oregon Ducks. Not only did they beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the Orange Bowl and lose to the Indiana Hoosiers in the Peach Bowl, but they lost 30 players from the 2025 roster — plus one recruit — to the transfer portal.
The losses were especially felt along the defensive line and edge rusher positions, with seven guys that fit in that category departing for other programs. But such is life for a big-time program in college football, where an influx of blue-chip recruits commit to play for the Ducks each year.
There are only 11 players on the field at one time, making the reality of a number of talented former four- and five-stars being relegated to rotational or reserve roles a real occurrence each year for the Ducks. Having spent a year, two years, even three years in the Oregon program having not received much play time and without a viable path to play time, it's understandable for players lower on the depth chart to look elsewhere for time on the field.
That's exactly what those 30 players from last season's roster did this offseason, all of whom landed with new programs and potentially with bigger roles.
With Week 1 of the 2026 college football season kicking off soon, we provided a refresh of where each of Oregon's outgoing transfers from this offseason landed in the transfer portal.

There's something in the air when August comes around. Is it hot humid weather? Maybe it's the sounds of the insects, or birds, or the angle of the sun? But it's something. The memories come flooding back. Two-a-days, sweating, those god-awful morning conditioning runs. I thought I had gone out for track! 8-220's, 4-440's, 2-880's and a mile run under time or you repeat them. No, I'm not exaggerating. Then lunch with the team, a break, then afternoon practice. Sound like a Division I program? No, it was a small Single A high school, but the memories are deeply embedded in my soul. Every year it is the same when August begins.
There's something in the air; I can feel it! My first foray to old mountaineer field was in 1960 at old Mountaineer field and I still get that excitement in my chest just waiting; anticipating. Those memories: Being a student when we kicked that field goal to beat Pitt and rushed the field and yes, tearing down the goal post. Up to Sunnyside to celebrate! Was that the first fire-in-the-street?
It's been 221 days since the last college football game and-it-starts today, finally. I must wait 8 days for my favorite team to start but any football is better than none. As always, I have high hopes for my beloved Mountaineers! I have confidence in the coaching staff and their decisions to bring in this bunch of guys. Year 2 under Rich will mean improvement and they just might take a huge leap forward. Don't count them out but just remember it's year 2.
I'm looking forward to a MUCH-improved running game since the addition of Coach Trickett and a loaded running-back room, more speed on defense and a healthy QB room. Running the ball makes everything else easier and we need big plays out of the running game!
Have a great year, all of you Mountaineer fans, be safe and kind.

Something I've seen several times here is the notion that the A's will have trouble luring a quality GM to be the next front office leader of the club. After all several openings will exist (we know for sure Houston is looking) and why would a GM choose the A's, a nomadic team closing in on 100 losses if they're not careful?
Glad you asked. To A's fans things might look bleak at the moment, as the team limps to the finish line in a season that has been epically disappointing. But to a GM coming on board, there is much to recommend the job:
1. A new stadium is imminent and that is always a terrific position for a franchise to be in. With the opening of a new stadium — and in this case also a new city location — comes excitement and the promise of a new revenue stream.
Now you and I may be as skeptical as we want as to how much Las Vegas will embrace the A's, how many of the fans will be die-hard A's fans and not tourists pulling hard for the opponent, whether all the games will be sold out or whether a small stadium will still struggle to fill every seat.
Nonetheless it's pretty much a given that attendance will be strong in the maiden years and that overall it will dwarf the numbers from Oakland and Sacramento, if only because those numbers were so small.

This time every preseason, I'm struck by a generous spirit, and I dole out gifts to college football luminaries. Consider it my way of offering a pre-kickoff pick-me-up, following an offseason during which it seems the only winners are lawyers and their billable hours.
They say it's better to give than to receive. I wouldn't know. ******* ody on this list ever gifted me anything other than column fodder. Perhaps, that's the greatest gift of all.
As a pat on the back for all of my generosity, I saved the final goodie for myself.

With his win over Ian Machado Garry at UFC 331, Islam Makhachev broke Anderson Silva's record for longest win streak. Anyone hoping to claim it will have to beat his 18 UFC victories in a row, and Makhachev plans on adding to that number before hanging up his gloves.
When that may happen is unclear, as Makhachev said he has no intention of retiring any time soon … although he does seem to be questioning what great accomplishment comes next after the win streak record.
"No record is unbreakable," he told Russian outlet Ushatayka. "There are fighters out there who are getting closer. There are already fighters breathing down my neck with ten wins."
Islam Makhachev says he believes he has at least three more “very hard and exciting fights” left in his career, while admitting he isn’t sure which records he can still chase after breaking one that once seemed unbreakable.

“Well, no record is unbreakable. There are fighters out… pic.twitter.com/LUHlfUcnPv
"I don't really know [what will be the next] record for myself," Makhachev added. "Maybe for ****** le fights? But it's a hard one to beat. I fought ten bouts before the ****** le while the one who holds the record [Jon Jones] had the ****** le in his third or fourth fight. So I don't know what records will come next."

Saints reportedly sign former Raiders two-time All-Pro kicker originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New Orleans Saints have been holding a few different position battles this summer, and one of those has been at the kicker spot.
Charlie Smyth, last season's rookie hero, is competing with Tanner Brown, a rookie kicker out of Oklahoma State who previously spent time with the Los Angeles Rams.
But according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Saints are going to sign veteran two-time All-Pro kicker Daniel Carlson to the roster to add a bit more competition to this kicker room.
"The Saints are signing two-time All-Pro K Daniel Carlson, his agents at RangeSportsRMP tell me and RapSheet," Garafolo reports.

A few Lions were dinged up during Detroit's 17-13 win over the Washington Commanders in the NFL preseason.
Veteran receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. injured his knee in the first quarter and Lions head coach Dan Campbell said afterwards that he was concerned it might be serious.
"Yeah. I don't know for sure. I'm worried. I'm worried on that one. I love (Cedrick) Wilson, man. He's a smart, crafty football player. Gets it, can play all the spots at receiver, special teams. We don't know. We're getting that knee looked at. We don't know, but I'll leave it at that," Campbell said.
Campbell said that running back Jabari Small was being checked for a concussion, too. Small carried three times for 16 yards.
"He's getting checked. He kind of got dinged there, concussion protocol," Campbell said.

Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel left open the possibility that he could wait until game week to name his starting quarterback, but he's not tipping his hand.
It appears five-star freshman Faizon Brandon leads the competition with sophomore George MacIntyre after the final intrasquad scrimmage of preseason practice on Aug. 22, which was closed to media and the public.
Brandon connected on a deep pass to Mike Matthews and broke a few long runs. But he also tossed an interception and missed some short high-percentage passes.
The scrimmage continued to showcase Brandon's big-play potential as a runner and passer, as well as predictable freshman mistakes.
MacIntyre managed the offense reasonably well. But he tossed an interception that was returned for a touchdown, and he overthrew a deep pass.

ZANESVILLE - Imposing its will is Zanesville's focus, especially with upperclassmen in the trenches.
An experienced group of linemen allowed the Blue Devils to dominate in Friday's 30-13 season-opening win over Maysville at John D. Sulsberger Memorial Stadium.
The victory ended a 26-game losing streak for second-year coach Zach Clapper and Zanesville.
Seniors Demarcus Goins and Evan Woerner led the charge up front, as the Blue Devils ran for more than 230 yards, while the Panthers were held to 144 total yards.

The Golden State Warriors have put together their teams through a variety of ways over the years, yet few approaches have proven as successful as the NBA draft. More than anything else, the most talented players to represent the Warriors have arrived in Golden State either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades executed on that same night.
The Golden State Warriors have taken many of their top stars through the draft, but have also landed a number of notable players over the years as well. From tiny colleges to blue blood programs, these alumni have contributed significantly to the team's roster over the years. So, we chose to take a closer look at which Dubs came from which schools over the years.
So without further ado, let's take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Warriors out of Temple.

Notre Dame's CJ Carr wears a gold helmet and has a golden arm… and someone took notice.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Junior quarterback CJ Carr was named to the 2026 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Watch List, recognizing the nation's top upperclassman quarterback, recognizing on-field excellence alongside leadership qualities.
Two Notre Dame signal-callers have won the award: quarterback Tony Rice in 1989 and quarterback Brady Quinn in 2006.
Carr, one of 27 quarterbacks named to the list, started all 12 games last year, finishing the season with 2,741 yards and 24 touchdowns. His 24 touchdowns were tied for the most passing touchdowns in a player's first 12 career starts at Notre Dame since 1966. With Carr behind center last season, Notre Dame ranked second in the country in scoring offense (41.8).
Among all returning Power 4 quarterbacks, Carr was first in yards per completion (14.06) and ranked second in yards per attempt (9.35) and touchdown rate (8.2%) last year. He was named to the Maxwell Award Watch List and Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List earlier this month.
The Saline, Michigan native threw a touchdown pass in all 12 games in 2025, the longest streak by an Irish quarterback since 2014. Carr totaled nine games with multiple touchdown throws a season ago while also rushing for three.

The Toronto Blue Jays are getting hot just in time.
Catcher Alejandro Kirk led the Blue Jays to a 10-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. Kirk finished the game 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. He recorded a single and a double, missing the cycle by only a triple.
Kirk is not known for his speed, so the idea of him securing a triple to pull off the cycle always seemed a little far-fetched. He does, however, have one triple in his career, having hit a three-bagger in 2024 against the Rays at Tropicana Field, where Tuesday's game was held.
The Toronto catcher is having another solid season. Kirk came into Tuesday hitting .271 with a .351 on-base percentage. He has five home runs and 22 RBI in 50 games.
Toronto is starting to heat up down the stretch of the season. Tuesday's win was the Blue Jays' sixth win in their past eight games. They've also won 10 of their past 15 games, and six of those wins have come against AL East opponents in what is projected to be a tight race as the postseason nears.

"Last year was really complicated for me, because I wasn't here yet during the preparation," he informed Sport BILD.
The Argentinean midfielder has pledged that he can offer the Rhineland club more and wants to bring supporters on his side.

The University of Utah completed its second of four weeks of fall camp on Saturday, wrapping up the week with its first scrimmage.
The Utes have hit what Scalley calls the "dog days" of fall camp. The excitement of being back has worn off, and the challenge to his players has been to keep that energy up throughout the remainder of camp.
Saturday's scrimmage was the first chance for players to really make an impact in a game-like situation. Scrimmages can go far in determining the depth chart, though Scalley is keeping that chart very close to the vest.
"Just lovely. Yeah, we got good ones," Scalley said when asked about the pecking order at wide receiver and cornerback. "I'm not going to tell you what that depth is, but we got good depth. Do your fantasy draft or whatever. We got really good ones. I'm excited for that group."
What Scalley did divulge from Saturday's closed-to-the-media scrimmage was that sophomore running back Mateaki Helu "showed up in a big way."

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., Aug. 17 (UPI) -- The Miami Dolphins activated rookie wide receiver Chris Bell from the non-football injury list, they announced Monday.
Bell, a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, was placed on the list July 21. He tore the ACL in his right knee in his final game at Louisville, a 38-6 loss to SMU on Nov. 22 in Dallas.
Bell totaled 917 yards and six scores off 72 catches in 11 games in 2025. He hauled in 151 catches for 2,166 yards and 12 scores over 47 total collegiate appearances.
He will join a Dolphins wide receivers room that also features Caleb Douglas, Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington and Tutu Atwell, among others.
NFL teams must cut their rosters down to 53 players by Aug. 30.
