KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs cornerback Mansoor Delane was questionable to return to Kansas City's season opener against the Broncos Monday night after the sixth overall pick in the NFL draft hurt his shoulder in the first quarter Monday night.
Delane intercepted Broncos quarterback Bo Nix the first time he was thrown at on the opening series of the game. He stumbled after making the catch and went to the ground untouched, and Delane was not on the field for the Broncos' ensuing series.
Delane missed the majority of the offseason and the first preseason game because of an injured shoulder.
Chiefs linebacker Cooper McDonald also left in the first quarter with a knee injury. His return was questionable.

Cardiff Devils opened the 2026-27 season with a 3-1 victory over Guildford Flames in the Challenge Cup at Vindico Arena.
The Devils fell behind when Cole Sandford - who left Cardiff in the summer - returned to score inside three minutes against his former club.
Josh MacDonald tied the game with a deflected shot midway through the first period and the game remained 1-1 going into the third.
Joey Martin became only the fifth player in Elite League history to reach 700 points with an ****** ist on Kohen Olischefski's go-ahead goal, and defenceman Nick Welsh sealed the win with just under two and a half minutes to play.
Devils netminder Ben Bowns was man of the match, saving 45 of 46 shots.

San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black had a game-high 14 carries for 65 yards against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. He added a five-yard reception on his lone target.
SOURCE: ESPN
Why It Matters: For years, the 49ers have steadfastly refused to utilize a second running back in any meaningful way when Christian McCaffrey has been available. On Thursday, they did just that, giving the rookie 14 rushing attempts -- that was four more than McCaffrey, and five more than last year's RB2 Brian Robinson had in any game. Black delivered, too, running hard and posting a healthy 4.6 yards per carry. You never want to read too much into Week 1, and there were extenuating circumstances with the game taking place in Australia, but Black did enough to warrant adding off waivers if he's out there.

PALOS DE LA FRONTERA, Spain (AP) — Matthew Brennan enhanced his status as the standout sprinter at the Spanish Vuelta by winning his fourth stage Tuesday in the 21-year-old British rider's Grand Tour debut.
Brennan was delivered to the front of the bunch with 100 meters left by an ideal leadout from Wout van Aert, his star teammate at Visma-Lease a Bike who already won two stages at this Vuelta.
Crossing the line, Brennan raised his right hand with four fingers out in a victory salute. Bryan Coquard was second and Vito Braet third. Van Aert was sixth at the end of a 181-kilometer (112.5 miles) ride in more blazing heat from Cortegana to Palos de la Frontera.
After 16 stages, overall leader Enric Mas retained his advantage in the red jersey of 2 minutes, 6 seconds ahead of Felix Gall. Primož Roglič is a further 4 second back in third.
Wednesday's stage is another flat ride into Seville before a 32.5-km (20.2-mile) time trial Thursday that could be key for Roglič.

Delonte West is recognized as one of the NBA's most tragic stories, having fallen on hard times after his career was cut short in 2012. However, during his playing days, the guard was prolific enough to garner attention from one of the league's best.
West famously represented teams such as the Dallas Mavericks, the Seattle SuperSonics, and the Boston Celtics during his seven-year NBA career. Still, his stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers as LeBron James' teammate is discussed more often.
Delonte West's tenure in Cleveland began after being traded to the Cavaliers by the Seattle SuperSonics during the 2007-08 season. While speaking about joining the Cavs on a Kick livestream, West revealed that LeBron James recruited him during a game between Cleveland and Seattle. He shared:
"I was in Seattle, you know, half the year; at the end of the year, they went to Oklahoma. We were playing Cleveland out in Seattle like, you know, the first month of the season, and I was cooking. Then, I remember we were sitting at the foul line, and James, he was like, 'Man, you know I've been, you know, I followed you in college.' You know what I'm saying? He's like, 'You remember that time I came to Philly at the Palestra to watch you play?' And I was like, 'Yeah, I remember.'"
"He was like, 'Man, you want to come play with Cleveland?' I thought he was just doing a veteran trick," West continued. "I thought he was just trying to get me out of my game by, you know, getting familiarity, but he was serious."

Eintracht Frankfurt are set to receive €22 million from Fulham for Hugo Larsson, according to Kicker.
The Swedish midfielder joined the Premier League club on loan with an obligation to buy that would be triggered under certain conditions.
According to Kicker, the clause was already activated when Larsson came on for his Fulham debut in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace.
The Swede has therefore left Eintracht permanently after three years.
He made a total of 119 competitive appearances for the Bundesliga club, scoring 10 goals and providing seven ******* ists.

Twenty-one years ago, the White Sox swept the Astros in the World Series to end an 88-year championship drought, bringing baseball jubilation to the south side of Chicago. Occasional regular-season interleague series followed until 2013, when Houston made the move from the NL Central to the AL West, inviting the possibility that the two franchises could meet far more frequently in October. But that has occurred just once in the years since, with the Astros eliminating the White Sox in the 2021 ALDS en route to the pennant and sending the White Sox spiraling into a dark period for the franchise while Houston was in the middle of its golden era.
Five years later, the White Sox have emerged from their deep rebuild, and the Astros are desperately trying to keep their competitive window open. And in an ultra-weak American League (particularly outside the AL East), an unlikely race has surfaced between the White Sox and Astros, the current Central and West leaders, to claim the No. 2 seed and the valuable first-round bye that comes with it. As such, this week's four-game series at Daikin Park carried a ton of weight with October fast approaching. The Astros took advantage of the opportunity, taking three of four to close the gap with the White Sox to just 1.5 games.
Here are five takeaways from this week's series in H-Town.

When a team moves on from a general manager, it's natural to reflect on their tenure and contemplate how the moves they did and didn't make impacted the trajectory of the organization. Without question, the most significant transaction recently fired GM Dana Brown executed during his three-plus years leading the Astros' front office was trading outfielder Kyle Tucker to the Cubs in exchange for three players: infielder Isaac Paredes, then-top prospect and recent first-round pick Cam Smith and right-hander Hayden Wesneski. While Brown experienced several other successes and missteps during his time as Houston's baseball ops leader, that trade — and how much these three players end up contributing to the Astros — will define his tenure.

The Mavericks' minority owner, Mark Cuban, reacted to the NBA's recent verdict in the Kawhi Leonard salary-cap circumvention controversy with the Clippers.
"Congrats, Pablo," wrote Cuban on X.
NBA fans took to social media and saw the billionaire businessman's two-word response. They flooded the comment section with criticism, calling Cuban out for backtracking on his comments about Pablo Torre, the investigative journalist who first reported the story.
"Not sure how you thought they were innocent. This smelled like rotting fish from the beginning."
"Man…you were so wrong in this one. Always side with the smarter people…Pablo is much smarter than Ballmer. And Pablo actually works for a living."

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Spencer Jones homered and drove in three runs, Jazz Chisholm Jr. also went deep and finished with three hits, and the New York Yankees pulled away Tuesday night for a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
Jones and Chisholm launched back-to-back homers to give Gerrit Cole a 3-0 lead before throwing a pitch in his latest return home. New York moved four games ahead of rival Boston for the top American League wild card and remained 4 1/2 games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East.
A day that began with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment reaching an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in the Angels from owner Arte Moreno ended with them losing for the ninth time in 11 games.
Cole (8-7) gave up three runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings, striking out five and walking one. Brent Headrick, Paul Blackburn and John Schreiber held Los Angeles to one hit the rest of the way.
Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez (4-6) allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings, striking out seven and walking two.

The most intriguing position battle on the Los Angeles Rams' roster this summer is coming down to the wire. All offseason, Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson were competing for the QB2 job behind Matthew Stafford and after three preseason games, Sean McVay still hasn't made up his mind.
What we do know is that the Rams will keep all three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. He just hasn't decided whether Simpson or Bennett will be the QB2 for Week 1.
He told reporters after Thursday's win over the Chargers that he has not committed to a No. 2 quarterback, and that he feels really good about both Simpson and Bennett. The Rams held Bennett out of action on Thursday night but McVay says he wouldn't read too much into that as an endorsement for the fourth-year quarterback.
McVay said he'll make a decision after giving it more thought, though he technically doesn't have to decide until shortly before the Rams kick off against the 49ers on Sept. 10. At that point, he'll need to pick which quarterback is active for the opener, and which one will be in street clothes.
Simpson and Bennett both played well in the preseason, committing zero turnovers and winning all three games. They each looked comfortable operating McVay's offense, which is a greater compliment to the rookie Simpson. In the finale, only Simpson played, completing 18 of 23 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown, leading the Rams to a 20-18 victory.

Jose Mourinho is beginning to form a clearer picture of his preferred Real Madrid defence, with the Portuguese coach reportedly identifying the back four that currently gives him the greatest sense of security.
According to Defensa Central, Mourinho's conclusions have evolved as the weeks and early matches of the season have progressed.
While the Real Madrid manager remains aware that his team has defensive issues to address, he is already looking towards the combination he could trust for the biggest matches ahead.
As things stand, Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Dean Huijsen and Marc Cucurella are believed to be the four defenders leading the race for those positions.
Dumfries has made the strongest case at right-back, with the Dutchman beginning to pull ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold in the battle for a starting role.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — To extend their stay at the Little League World Series, Bayonne's All Stars needed to bounce back from their first defeat of the summer and win Tuesday night's game against the Great Lakes team from Ohio.
It was Bayonne's first game in the elimination bracket, and Jett Bridges, who last pitched during the New Jersey state tournament three weeks ago, started on the mound. He recorded three shutout innings before walking the bases loaded with no outs in the top of the fourth. Shortstop Gabe Garcia Jr. then relieved Bridges on the mound and struck out a batter before allowing an RBI single.
But Great Lakes then broke the game open with a double to center. By the end of the frame, Great Lakes led, 5-0, and that was all Ohio needed to eliminate Bayonne.
The final was 5-2 after Bayonne's late rally attempt fell short.
"The kids had a great run," Bayonne manager Justin Smith said. "I couldn't be more proud of them. They outplayed us and deserved to win. Couldn't ask for more."

Major sporting events in the New York/N ew Jersey are have **** aulted by outrageous ticket prices this summer. During the NBA Finals, ticket prices got so out of control that U.S. President Donald Trump faced major backlash for not showing sympathy for fans who had been priced out.
"That's the way life goes," Trump said at the time. "Now, if the team wasn't a big success, you could go very easily. That's just the way life is."
Ticket prices also reached outrageous numbers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, although Trump showed a little more sympathy in that instance.
"If people from Queens and Brooklyn and all of the people that love Donald Trump can't go, I would be disappointed, but, you know, at the same time, it's an amazing success," he said. "I would like to be able to have the people that voted for me to be able to go."
The President hasn't publicly addressed the surging prices ahead of the U.S. Open, but New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has taken matters into his own hands.

Kayshon Boutte Trade Grades: Did Patriots Get Enough Back in Deal With Texans? originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Texans are making a late trade as the regular season approaches, acquiring wide receiver Kayshon Boutte from the Patriots.
Boutte was on the trade block for much of the offseason as the Patriots made several additions to their wide receiver room, including A.J. Brown. Boutte's contract expires after the season, which limited New England's leverage and gave Houston a chance to add a talented receiver for a year.
Trade! The Patriots are sending WR Kayshon Boutte to the Texans for safety Jaylen Reed and a draft pick, sources tell ringernetflixsports. pic.twitter.com/NZXCdOX4RT
Both of these teams have Super Bowl aspirations, as they even played in the playoffs last year, making this trade a fascinating deal. Down the road, it is certainly possible that they will have to go through each other once again to make a Super Bowl run.

England bowler Brydon Carse is under investigation after he was reportedly involved in an incident at a nightclub in Derby on Saturday, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed.
Videos circulating on social media on Sunday appeared to show Carse in handcuffs, being led away from a club by four police officers.
The Durham bowler, who is England's squad for the second Test against Pakistan this week, was seen with team-mate Matthew Potts.
"We are aware of an incident which is reported to have taken place in Derby last night, and are currently investigating," an ECB statement read.
"We will provide a further update when possible."

CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson fired back at his detractors, calling the booing he heard from some Cleveland fans during Saturday's home preseason loss against Buffalo "disrespectful" and "personal."
Watson, who has a complicated relationship with Cleveland fans because of injuries, off-field issues — including an NFL suspension in 2022 — and a massive, $230 million contract, was booed repeatedly during the second half of a 31-7 loss to the Bills.
Watson was just 5 of 12 passing for 36 yards and threw an interception. He came off the bench because the Browns started Shedeur Sanders, who is competing with Watson for the starting job. Coach Todd Monken has yet to decide which QB will start the season opener in Jacksonville on Sept. 13.
Watson didn't appreciate the reaction from the sparse crowd at Huntington Bank Field. It was his first home game since tearing his Achilles tendon on Oct. 20, 2024, when fans cheered him sustaining a potential career-ending injury.
"It has nothing to do about the performance," Watson said of the boos. "It's a little bit personal. I think that's a disrespectful thing. I'm going to keep whatever I feel with me and my family internally on how I feel about that. Just move on."

"It has nothing to do about the performance," Watson said of the boos. "It's a little bit personal. I think that's a disrespectful thing. I'm going to keep whatever I feel with me and my family internally on how I feel about that. Just move on."

Texas quarterback Arch Manning, a redshirt junior, has been named to this year's Davey O'Brien Award preseason watch list, according to the Davey O'Brien Foundation's announcement this week.
The honor is given each season to college football's top quarterback.
Following Manning's notable victorious performance in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl versus Michigan last season (after the Longhorns were robbed of a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff just weeks prior), Manning was named to honor of the O'Brien Award's Postseason Great 8 list.
Several Longhorn legends have won the O'Brien Award over the years, including former Texas running back Earl Campbell in 1977 (back then, the award recognized the top player in southeastern U.S.), former Texas quarterback Vince Young following a BCS Championship-winning season in 2005, and, most recently, former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy following the Longhorns' most recent national championship appearance, in which Texas fell to Alabama in the 2009 BCS Championship game (McCoy was also a finalist for the O'Brien Award following the 2008 college football season.) Former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was an award semifinalist in 2024.

On team news: "All of our player are available expect Simon [Adingra]. We will see about the game time because they [all the players] are not the same fitness-wise."

SYDNEY (AP) — Five Australian rules footballers have been banned for the remainder of the AFL season by the Sydney Swans for breaching player codes of conduct during a stay at a Melbourne hotel that has led to a police investigation into allegations of ***** ual ***** ault.
The Swans issued a statement Wednesday saying "Riley Bice, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, James Jordon and Chad Warner will not be considered for selection for the remainder of the 2026 AFL Season," ruling them out of a regular-season game this weekend and the playoffs series.
The Swans said the club-imposed sanctions were independent of an investigation by Victoria state police. No charges have been laid, and no player has been identified as being involved in an alleged ***** ual ***** ault.
Police were called to a hotel in East Melbourne early Monday when a woman made a complaint to staff there.
"We respect there is an ongoing investigation by Victoria Police and the actions we have taken today are independent of this," the Swans statement said, adding that the Australian Football League "is supportive of the club's sanctions."

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has accused embattled FIFA president Gianni Infantino of pressing the "self-destruct **** on" over failed plans to sell stakes in the World Cup.
Infantino is fighting to stay in his job following huge backlash to his intention to sell a minority stake in FIFA tournaments to private investors.
UEFA has become his main detractor, with the Football **** ociation withdrawing its support for Infantino.
"This is a problem of FIFA's making," Masters told BBC Sport.
"This is a self-inflicted wound. The organization has pressed the self-destruct **** on, and the consequences of that flow now into the solutions that need to be found.

Joe ******* nano entered training camp fighting for snaps and engulfed in a five-person quarterback room. After Diego Pavia's release and Skylar Thompson's injury, he will travel to Minnesota with a legitimate opportunity to force his way onto the Baltimore Ravens' 53-man roster.
The undrafted rookie quarterback took advantage of an extended opportunity in Baltimore's 24-7 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, completing 22 of 28 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He directed three scoring drives, operated the offense with poise and consistently delivered the football on time.
It was the type of performance that could change ******* nano's standing within the organization. He is no longer simply a developmental quarterback helping Baltimore complete training camp. He is making a strong case to become the Ravens' third quarterback. till earning the QB3 designation and securing a roster spot are two different challenges.
Fagnano entered the game after Tyler Huntley handled Baltimore's first two possessions and was trusted with most of the remaining quarterback snaps. He connected with Ja'Kobi Lane for a 16-yard touchdown, completed passes to 10 different receivers and helped the Ravens maintain possession throughout the second half.
His only significant mistake came late in the second quarter. ******* nano attempted to complete a pass across the end zone while moving outside the pocket, but Eagles cornerback Kelee Ringo made an athletic interception. Jesse Minter did not appear overly concerned with the decision, praising Ringo's play and ******* nano's ability to respond after halftime.

Why Dodgers fans booed struggling Kyle Tucker after latest mishap originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Dodgers have largely been able to ignore an uncharacteristic season by blockbuster free-agent addition Kyle Tucker to this point, with a comfortable NL West lead in hand and World Series aspirations still very much alive.
As Tucker's struggles have deepened and a rough August has persisted for the Dodgers, the spotlight has started to fixate on the former Astros and Cubs star.
Tucker was booed by Dodgers fans on Sunday, a day after he was held out of the lineup due to "frustration" with his Dodger Stadium struggles, manager Dave Roberts said.
Here's a look at the mishap that drew the ire of Dodgers fans.

The Detroit Lions did not wait long to address two positions hit hard by injuries.
Detroit announced Sunday that running back Kye Robichaux and defensive back Loren Strickland have been waived with injury designations. The Lions filled those openings by signing veteran running back Trayveon Williams and cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe.
The moves give Detroit healthy bodies for the closing stretch of training camp while ending, at least temporarily, two roster pushes disrupted by injuries.
Robichaux suffered a foot injury during Detroit's preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Dan Campbell revealed Saturday that the rookie may have broken a bone, a development that immediately placed his availability in serious doubt.
The Lions have now waived Robichaux with an injury designation, cutting short an encouraging summer.

Unrivaled, the 3v3 women's basketball league, signed two LSU women's basketball players to its "The Future is Unrivaled" class of 2026. Jada Williams and Mikaylah Williams were two of nine players included in an announcement by the league on Friday.
The pair of experienced guards are among the college game's top players signed to the class. Fellow SEC stars Madison Booker and Joyce Edwards also made the cut alongside UConn's Sarah Strong and KK Arnold. Michigan's Olivia Olson, Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo and Ohio State's Jaloni Cambridge roundup the group.
Last year, Flau'Jae Johnson and MiLaysia Fulwiley signed with Unrivaled in the inaugural class, which included 14 players. Johnson currently plays for the Seattle Storm in the WNBA after four seasons in Baton Rouge while Fulwiley returns for a second season under head coach Kim Mulkey.
Jada Williams signed with the Tigers and projects to be the starting point guard in 2026-27. She fills an immediate need after Jada Richard departed for Ole Miss. A proven floor general, Williams averaged 15.3 points, 7.7 **** ists and 3.5 rebounds per game with Iowa State last year.
Mikaylah Williams started for LSU immediately upon her arrival to campus. The rising senior plays inside and out on both ends of the court. She averages 15.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game on 48% shooting from the field across three seasons with the Tigers.

Dynamo Dresden host Darmstadt on Sunday afternoon as both sides search for their first win of the season. The hosts lost 3-0 at Nürnberg in the opening matchday, with Mohamed Ali Zoma scoring a hat-trick.
Meanwhile, Darmstadt came from a two-goal deficit to earn a point at home against Holstein Kiel. Ho-jae Lee played a big part for Florian Kohfeldt's side after coming off the bench to make his 2. Bundesliga debut. Darmstadt have now added another striker to their ranks as Stoke City's Milan Smit joined them on loan.
Both teams finished with ten players the last time they met in February. Vincent Vermeij scored twice in the stroke of half-time moments after Patric Pfeiffer's sending off.
Luca Marseiler, Fabian Nürnberger and Merveille Papela have to wait a little longer for their first appearances of the season due to injuries. As for the hosts, Lars Bünning, Kenneth Schmidt and Tobias Raschl are unavailable.
