Great Britain lead the medal table at the European Athletics Championships 2026 after a thrilling first two days of competition, with sprinters Romell Glave and Jeremiah Azu picking up gold and silver respectively in the men's 100m to take the national tally to two golds and two silvers.
Their success followed world 200m silver medallist Amy Hunt winning GB's first gold of the championships as she surged to victory in the 100m on Monday night in 11 seconds flat, having been seventh of the eight-athlete final after the first 10m due to a typical slower start. But she stormed back to overhaul Poland's Ewa Swoboda and Belgium's Delphine Nkansa, while defending champion Dina Asher-Smith finished fifth.
Italy and the Netherlands are close behind GB on four medals apiece while Norway took two golds on the opening night, with Jakob Ingebrigtsen claiming a brilliant 5,000m gold after nearly a year out of competition.
The Norwegian great was sidelined with an Achilles injury which required surgery in January and only returned to full training six weeks ago, but stunned his rivals in the final 100m - after appearing completely boxed in - to win a record-equalling seventh European gold.
The Norwegian 4x400m mixed relay team added a second gold later that evening, while Britain's team were led home to silver by Yemi Mary John.

Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) just added another name to its growing list of AI infrastructure customers. On August 6, the company announced an expanded partnership with MiTAC Computing Technology Corp., a subsidiary of MiTAC Holdings Corporation, to deploy a fuel cell microgrid at MiTAC's AI server manufacturing campus in Fremont, California. It is a small deal in isolation, but it fits a pattern that has turned Bloom into one of the more talked-about names in the AI power trade.
The MiTAC expansion builds on an existing installation at the company's San Jose facility, and it will run as an islanded microgrid, meaning it operates independent of the local grid entirely. That matters because manufacturers building AI servers are running into the same power bottlenecks as the data centers buying their products. Bloom's Chief Commercial Officer Aman Joshi noted the company now serves nearly two dozen AI infrastructure customers with about 250 megawatts of contracted capacity, up from nearly zero just two years ago. Fuel cells generate power through an electrochemical process rather than combustion, which sidesteps permitting delays, water constraints and noise limits that can slow down traditional generation.
That growth shows up in the numbers too. Bloom's backlog reached $20 billion at the start of 2026, and product orders within that backlog rose 140% year over year, according to ****** ysis from Reuben Gregg Brewer published August 5. The company posted its first billion-dollar revenue quarter, and management raised full-year 2026 guidance to a range of $3.9 billion to $4.2 billion, per ****** ysis from Steven Porrello also published August 5. Wall Street currently expects revenue to more than triple over the next two years, and Bloom was profitable in both the first and second quarters of 2026.
The service portion of that backlog, roughly $14 billion of the $20 billion total, is the more durable piece of the business, since every fuel cell sold locks in an annuity-like service contract. But Brewer's ****** ysis points out that Bloom's overall profitability only turned positive in 2026, after losses in 2024 and 2025 even while the services business alone stayed profitable since 2024.
The stock has also been volatile. Shares are up roughly 500% over the trailing year but have pulled back about 35% from their highs, trading near $218 after touching roughly $345. Brewer argues that much of the good news already appears priced in, and that only aggressive growth investors should consider buying after such a rapid move. Even on a forward basis, Porrello notes the stock trades around 11 times next fiscal year's expected sales, a multiple that still ****** umes the AI buildout keeps accelerating without interruption.

Coming home to find some of your belongings have been stolen can quickly turn an ordinary day into a stressful, emotional, and financially draining experience. Fortunately, renters insurance typically covers theft, helping to replace items stolen from your home, up to your policy limits.
However, not every theft-related incident is covered the same way. Here's a closer look at what renters insurance usually covers and where coverage may fall short.
Most standard renters insurance policies cover your personal belongings if they are stolen or damaged, whether the loss occurs inside or outside your home. Covered items can include everything from electronics and furniture to clothing and sentimental keepsakes.
For example, if you return home from a trip and discover that someone has broken into your apartment and stolen your laptop, TV, and jewelry, your renters insurance may help pay to replace those items, up to your policy's coverage limits.

Ben Simmons continues to make major strides amid his NBA comeback bid, reportedly participating "with zero restrictions at a player-led private minicamp for the Australian men's basketball team" this week.
However, Simmons' latest offseason highlights did little to win over the NBA world, instead reigniting familiar mockery of the 2016 No. 1 pick.
At his peak, Simmons was viewed as one of the NBA's premier defenders and facilitators, with his 6-foot-10 frame placing him among the league's most unique players. Unfortunately for the 30-year-old, a combination of injuries and mental confidence blocks amid mounting scrutiny contributed to his sharp decline.
Amid Simmons' up-and-down basketball journey, 3-point shooting has remained a constant weakness, as he has shot a meager 5-for-36 (13.9%) for his career. While the three-time All-Star has struggled to demonstrate in-game shooting improvements, his ability to thrive in offseason settings has long been a source of confusion and irritation.
After sitting out the entire 2025-26 season with a back injury, Simmons is angling to make a comeback. Per ESPN's Marc J. Spears, "several NBA teams have expressed interest in Simmons, who is open to signing a minimum contract." Spears added that "one source said he has a non-guaranteed offer on the table for training camp with a Western Conference team."

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Wednesday performed its second ballistic missile test in less than a week, its neighbors said, a likely protest of the upcoming South Korea-U.S. military drills that North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said a ballistic missile fired from the North's eastern coastal Wonsan area around 6 a.m. flew more than 700 kilometers (435 miles). The **** anese Defense Ministry also detected the launch, saying the weapon landed in waters outside its exclusive economic zone, between the Korean Peninsula and **** an.
The launches, within days of each other, were seen as part of North Korea's extended run of weapons tests as the country has refused to return to talks with the U.S. and South Korea for years. Experts say North Korea often uses its rivals' military training as a pretext to boost its own testing activities.
South Korea's military said it remains ready to repel any provocation by Pyongyang in cooperation with the United States. South Korea's national security council called North Korean ballistic missile launches "acts of provocation" and urged the North to halt them immediately.
Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi told reporters that **** an strongly protested the North Korean launch through their embassies in Beijing. "It's a serious problem that affects the safety of the **** anese people," he said.

It isn't harsh to say that Calvin Phillips' time at Manchester City has not been a success. After signing for City from Leeds United in the summer of 2022, the England international only made 32 appearances for Pep Guardiola's side. He spent the second half of the 2023-24 season out on loan at West Ham. Following that move, Phillips moved to Ipswich Town on loan for the 2024-25 season. From there, Phillips made one appearance for Pep Guardiola's side last season before going out on loan to Sheffield United. He made three appearances for the Blades before a knee injury ended his season.
Kalvin Phillips has now gone out on loan to Sheffield United for the 2026-27 season. All you can hope for at this point is that Phillips can play regularly and enjoy himself at Sheffield United.
Manchester City have confirmed that Kalvin Phillips will spend the 2026-27 season out on loan at Sheffield United. There was little to no chance of Phillips resurrecting his City career under Enzo Maresca.
Sheffield United have confirmed the loan signing of Kalvin Phillips on their official website. Speaking after his loan move to Sheffield United was confirmed, Phillips revealed that he has returned to the club he wanted to play for. He explained: "This was the move I wanted. My time was spoiled by my last game and the injury after that so I'm here to put that right."
"The squad is similar to what it was last year, I'm happy to see everyone and I'm looking forward to coming back fighting fit. It is a good feeling to walk back through the doors in Shirecliffe, I see that the pre-season has been tough and the lads have come out flying so I'm happy to start training and get involved."

Manager Dave Roberts embraced Blake Snell on the dugout steps. Field coordinator Bob Geren applauded from beside him. Snell's teammates hopped down from the railing to high-five him as he walked through the growing crowd.
It had been three months since he'd last started a major-league game. And in the Dodgers' 5-4 walk-off win against the Royals in the 10th inning Tuesday, he was as sharp as the team could have hoped.
Before the game, Roberts set five innings as the goal, hoping to limit Snell to around 75-80 pitches.
The lefty turned in six innings, with 84 pitches. And he held the Royals to one run and three hits while striking out 10.
It was only Snell's second start of the season, after a late build-up in spring training because of shoulder fatigue, a May season debut, and surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow.

Bangladesh is trying to save India's six-match cricket tour next month, with the foreign ministers of both countries involved in efforts to resolve the issue, news agency AFP reported.
The tour consists of three ODIs and three T20Is. It was originally scheduled for August last year but was postponed after relations between Dhaka and New Delhi deteriorated.
Bangladesh sports minister Aminul Haque said on Monday that discussions were continuing at the ministerial level.
"It is being worked on at the ministerial level," Haque said late Monday, as quoted by AFP, adding that talks were ongoing between the foreign ministers of both countries.
Relations between Bangladesh and India have been strained since a mass uprising in Bangladesh in 2024 led to the removal of then-prime minister Sheikh Hasina. She fled to India, where she remains in hiding.
In February, Bangladesh did not send a team to India for the T20 World Cup, citing security concerns. The International Cricket Council rejected Bangladesh's request to move its matches to Sri Lanka, and Scotland replaced them in the tournament.
Haque said Bangladesh was keen to resolve the issue surrounding the postponed series.
"We want to quickly resolve the deadlock that was created around the Cricket World Cup," Haque said.
"God willing, we are hopeful that it will be resolved very soon."
India last toured Bangladesh for a cricket series in 2022, when they won the two-Test series 2-0. Bangladesh won the three-match ODI series 2-1.
Bangladesh last toured India in September-October 2024 for two Tests and two T20Is. India won both series, completing a sweep across the two formats.

Quarterback Kyler Murray is no longer a member of the Arizona Cardinals, but a number of Cardinals fans will likely follow how he does with the Minnesota Vikings. There was big news from Vikings camp on Tuesday, as head coach Kevin O'Connell announced that Murray will be the team's starting quarterback.
Murray beat out former first-round pick J.J. McCarthy in the competition they had during the offseason and through the first couple of weeks of training camp.
The move was largely expected.
Murray only played in five games last season for the Cardinals, injuring his foot, getting placed on injured reserve and never returning. The Cardinals went 1-11 after that, losing their final nine games with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, but the Cardinals decided to move on from Murray after seven seasons. They released him, and he signed with Minnesota.
The Cardinals and Vikings will not face each other in the regular season.

Indiana Fever All-Star guard Caitlin Clark publicly backed Stephanie White after Indiana's second-year head coach was booed on the team's home court at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
The boo birds rained down on White ahead of a 106-92 win over the New York Liberty, which marked the Fever's first game since Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington's hard foul on Sophie Cunningham and subsequent "White Privilege" post Aug. 8 reignited conversations about player safety and race. Some Fever fans felt White didn't adequately defend Cunningham, with Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith going as far as calling for White to be fired.
"I told (Stephanie White) that before the game, there was no way we were losing this game for her. And it's tough. That's my head coach. I hated that our fans booed her before the game. That made me a little sick, to be honest," Clark said in her postgame remarks. "It's professional sports, people are going to boo, but at the end of the day... we're going to ride for her and we're always going to have her back and that's never going to tear our locker room apart."
Clark added, "I just love her and I feel for her because I know it can be a lot at times and she does a great job a lot of times blocking it out, but there's other moments where it can get under your skin and that's just being human and that's just life."

It really hurt us. Both Phil LeBeau and I were stunned. Phil said three times that they could've told us that things were bad. I called the management, and I said, management called me back, and said, look, I said, listen, I think it's a very suboptimal situation.
I really don't like the situation. I think that the company should have been much more forthcoming. I think it was a rookie mistake. We sold the stock at the opening for the Charitable Trust. It is a great company, but man, they are not ready for prime time, and it was very disappointing.
The sudden plunge caught institutional investors and **** ysts off guard, landing the newly minted standalone company in Wall Street's penalty box. Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ:HONA) watched its shares implode after management slashed its full-year outlook following the second-quarter results.
The core catalyst behind the selloff was a severe downgrade to the corporate financial roadmap. Management aligned full-year forecasts with supply-chain capabilities, scaling back expectations across some major financial metrics. Organic growth guidance was reduced to a range of 4% to 5%, compared to previous guidance of 7% to 9%. Pro forma standalone adjusted EBIT was lowered to a range of $4.35 billion to $4.45 billion, down from earlier projections of $4.65 billion to $4.75 billion. In addition, year-over-year adjusted EBIT growth was revised to a range of flat to 3%, down from prior guidance of 7% to 10%. Persistent supply-chain constraints forced the company to prioritize original equipment manufacturer deliveries to major planemakers like Boeing and Airbus. As a result, production was diverted away from higher-revenue, higher-margin aftermarket operations, squeezing profitability right out of the gate as an independent entity.

BNSF Railway reported higher second-quarter, pre-tax earnings thanks to a combination of volume growth and higher revenue per load, parent company Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) reported on Saturday.
BNSF's pre-tax earnings rose 13.9%, to $2.06 billion, as revenue increased 14.6%, to $6.56 billion. The railway's operating expenses increased 15.6% compared to a year ago, as fuel costs surged 68%. BNSF's operating ratio was 65.4%, an 0.6-point increase.
Quarterly volume rose 6.5%, while average revenue per unit increased 7.6%, primarily from higher fuel surcharge revenue.
Consumer products volume, which includes intermodal and automotive traffic, grew 9.3%. Berkshire said the volume growth was due to "higher intermodal shipments resulting from higher West Coast imports, market share gains, and tightening truck capacity."
Agricultural and energy products traffic was up 11.5% for the quarter. "The volume increases were primarily due to higher grain exports, petroleum fuels and oilseeds and meals," Berkshire reported.

ROCKTON, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) — A slew of injuries derailed Hononegah's football season last year before it even had a chance to get going. The Indians still made the playoffs. A healthy roster this year could find the Indians challenging for the NIC-10 championship.
Hononegah head coach Brian Zimmerman would just as soon forget about last season and all the injuries this team endured.
"It's something that we're going to put in the rearview mirror, and so far, so good, we're healthy this season."
One player they missed last year because of a shoulder injury was running back and linebacker Brody Sendele. He was able to wrestle last winter after football season. He won a state championship. Now he's back on the football field.
"I really missed football. I enjoy football a lot, hanging out with my buddies. Wrestling is really a one-person sport, all about yourself. I love football."
"He gets after it, said Zimmerman. "Anytime we can get wrestlers in the football program, I love it."
The Indians have also welcomed aboard a pair of transfers from Boylan, huge lineman Caleb Collins and quarterback Dominic Cacciatore.
Zimmerman says Cacciatore has had a smooth transition. "He's done a really nice job of adapting to our offense, what we like to run. He's got a good rapport with his teammates."
Hononegah offensive lineman Richard Gambini has been impressed with Cacciatore's dedication to grasping Hononegah's offense. "His dad (John) was obviously the Boylan head coach. He (John) had him (Dominic) have all the flashcards out for our plays studying them all, and he knew them all before we even got to training camp. I think he looks great."
Cacciatore should have one of the most reliable and productive receivers in the NIC-10 to throw to in 6-4 Caleb Parker-Lones. He showed flashes of what he can do last season.
"Last season Caleb did a great job of getting his first downs," said Zimmerman. "Any time we need a first down, it seemed like the ball went to him."
Ryan Fritsch was one of the top sprinters in the conference in track last spring. He'll play the slot receiver. Giovanni Zepeda and tight end Logan Wilson are also proven pass catchers.
Sendele will play some running back along with Emerson Tuula.
Up front the Indians return starting center Tim Caver, starting right tackle Richard Gambini and starting right guard Wyatt Kinney.
Some of the defensive stalwarts will be Logan Wilson off the edge at end, Tristen Ginn at tackle, and Chase Timmerman at defensive end. Sendele and Tuula at linebacker, and Fritsch and Jacob Duval in the defensive secondary.
"I think the defense is pretty strong right now from what I've seen in practice," said Sendele. "I think we're going to be a pretty good defense."
Keep up with Hononegah and all high school football in the 815 this season with 'Overtime' Friday nights on FOX 39 in Rockford and also available on all of our digital media.

LAS VEGAS—After weeks of watching film, getting reps throughout training camp and making general preparations, the Las Vegas Raiders will finally get the opportunity to put all of that practice time into something tangible.
On Tuesday, the Raiders held their practice from Allegiant Stadium, giving the players and coaching staff experience with their preparations on game day before the Arizona Cardinals arrive for the preseason opener on Thursday.
For head coach Klint Kubiak, this moment has been a long time coming where, after years of biding his time, he will finally get the opportunity to take charge of a team of his own.
"I think the thing I appreciate the most is the coaches I get to work with because it is a group effort and we work a lot of long hours together," said Kubiak before Tuesday's practice. "We have a lot of coaches that are head coaches in their position and I rely on them to be the best at what they do, and it allows me to focus on my strengths and delegate the things that I'm not as good at."
While Kubiak was mum about how many series the first unit will play, he mentioned that the coaches "have a plan for those guys," suggesting that they will get at least some reps.

Arizona Cardinals fans will get to have a first look at what the offense and defense might look like in the regular season. Head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters on Tuesday, the final day of training camp in Glendale, Arizona, that starters would get action in the team's preseason game on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday.
"They're all going to play," LaFleur said. "We'll have our guys out there." He said that would include starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett, although the starters won't go for long. "(It) could be one drive (or a) max of two for those main guys, but yeah, they'll be playing and they know that."
That means fans will see rookie running back Jeremiyah Love and everyone who is healthy in action.
The Raiders are expected to play their starters, too, which means, for a series or two, we will see what the Cardinals starters look like against other NFL starters, albeit against the Las Vegas Raiders, who were the worst team in the NFL last season.
The offense played well in the Hall of Fame Game. The defense did not.

With no new contract coming, Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield needs to be ready to get the most out of the bet he'd making on himself.
And he feels like he's ready to do that physically.
"I think I'm in the best shape I've ever been in," Mayfield said on the 4th and South podcast, via JoeBucsFan.com. "It took a while to feel healthy enough to actually train and get to that point. But I feel great. You know, you find your routine in the later years of your career and you figure out what works for you schedule-wise, workout-wise, diet-wise — all things you need to adjust and adapt to as the years go on. I feel really good. Yeah, last year I was banged up but, I mean, the whole team was."
He'll need to find a way to avoid being banged up. Part of his appeal is that he'll play through anything. At some point, however, it impacts his performance.
That's where it could get interesting, if he has multiple injuries through which he's playing in 2026. At some point, Mayfield at less than 100 percent may not be a better option than Jake Browning at full strength. And the coaching staff (and/or the front office) may be inclined to ask him to take a seat, if they think it's in the best interests of the team.

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) released a new open-weight AI model called Muse Glimmer on August 10, a compact system built for agentic tasks that can run on a Mac or PC with a single graphics card. CEO Mark Zuckerberg used the launch to press Washington for lighter rules on open-source AI, arguing that Chinese developers have pulled ahead. The release lands squarely inside the debate that has been rattling Meta's stock all summer: whether the company's AI ambitions are actually worth what they cost.
Muse Glimmer's design speaks to real demand. Businesses have grown uneasy about the size of their AI bills, and about a string of recent hacking incidents tied to models built by Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta itself. Open-weight systems answer both worries by running locally and staying cheap to operate. Hugging Face illustrated that shift last month, saying it deployed a Chinese-made open-weight system to fend off an attack traced to a rogue OpenAI model, since closed-source options are restricted from that kind of security work. If Meta can position Muse Glimmer as a trusted domestic alternative for that exact use case, the addressable market is not small.
None of this changes what still pays Meta's bills. Advertising brought in $114 billion in the first half of 2026, 97.7% of total sales, and Wall Street expects that business to keep compounding at a 21.6% annualized clip through 2028. Zuckerberg is also betting AI sharpens that ad targeting further, which is part of why Meta paired the Muse Glimmer release with a governance change, giving independent directors power to sign off on safety criteria before future models ship. Add in early plans to sell spare data center capacity to outside buyers, and Meta has more ways to monetize its AI buildout than the spending headlines usually suggest.
The launch does not erase the fact that Meta is behind in open-weight AI. By Zuckerberg's own account, Chinese labs including Moonshot's Kimi K3, Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Max and DeepSeek's V4-Flash already deliver performance that rivals top US systems, while Meta and its domestic peers remain boxed in by training-data rules Zuckerberg says put American developers at a disadvantage. Muse Glimmer is smaller and narrower than Meta's frontier ambitions, and Washington adds its own uncertainty: the Trump administration has said it will not subject open-weight systems to voluntary safety testing, leaving the ground rules for a technology already tied to hacking incidents unsettled.

Bayern Munich continued preparations for the new season with an intense training session that appears to have caught the attention of Vincent Kompany per Tz's Philipp Kessler..
The attackers and defenders initially worked separately on two different pitches before coming together for a match featuring plenty of intensity and physical duels. It was exactly the type of competitive environment Kompany wants to see as Bayern Munich continues building toward the start of the season.
Kompany was heavily involved throughout the session, delivering loud instructions in English and encouraging the players from the sidelines. His energy appeared to match the intensity of the session, with the Bayern Munich coach clearly pleased with what he was seeing.

The Washington Commanders were back on the practice field Tuesday in preparation for Wednesday's joint practice with the Miami Dolphins. After a day in pads on Monday, Washington sat several key veterans ahead of what's expected to be a physical scrimmage-like atmosphere on Wednesday.
Tuesday began with head coach Dan Quinn saying cornerback Trey Amos and center Nick Allegretti would not participate in Wednesday's joint practice. Quinn said Amos would likely be reevaluated next week. The same timeline applies to Allegretti.
As for what happened on the field, here are four players who stood out from Day 10 of Commanders training camp.
With star receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs enjoying a rest day before Wednesday's practice, it allowed some of the younger players an opportunity to shine. That's what rookie Antonio Williams did, catching multiple touchdowns. Williams has been impressive throughout camp. He is excellent at creating separation with his quick feet. It will be interesting to see how much Williams plays in Friday's preseason game.
Antonio Williams just caught back to back touchdowns during 7-on-7. First one from Jayden Daniels, the second from Marcus Mariota. The rookie continues to impress

NEW YORK – Giancarlo Stanton was seen running bases Tuesday afternoon, another benchmark toward his – still not-yet-determined – return to the Yankees lineup.
"When that time comes, obviously, it'll be very good to get him back,'' said Yanks manager Aaron Boone, prior to Yanks vs. Mariners at the Stadium.
Stanton has not been in the Yankees' lineup since April 25, due to two strained left calf injuries.
"He's stacked a lot of good days,'' said Boone, adding that "there's at least a chance'' that Stanton would require some degree of a minor league rehab stint.
Exactly when he's ready for that next step isn't known. "When they (the medical staff) say we're ready to do something, then we go,'' said Boone.

BYU receivers coach and passing game coordinator Fesi Sitake has a son whose middle name is Legend.
That son now wants to be called by his middle name.
Why?
Because there's a newcomer to the football team, a freshman receiver, named Legend Glasker who just might be the next big thing in Provo. Glasker, a three-star recruit (247Sports) who graduated from nearby Lehi High last December so he could enroll early at BYU, was one of the breakout stars in spring camp and has picked up where he left off this month in preseason training camp.
Sitake said Monday that Glasker has "solidified his spot" with the first-team offense, along with Oregon transfer Kyler Kasper and Jojo Phillips, the redshirt junior who has shown flashes of brilliance but a lack of consistency, partly due to injury, in three seasons in the program.

The Dallas Cowboys have cleared the first true hurdle of training camp, and now can set their eyes on the next, the opening exhibition game. On Tuesday, the Cowboys traveled down from Oxnard, CA so they could take on the Los Angeles Rams in a joint practice. Next up, a Saturday trip up the Pacific Coast so they can battle against the World Champion Seattle Seahawks.
And with that game barreling towards both clubs, the Cowboys press room sent out the unofficial depth chart for the preseason opener. It's the first real look at the pecking order of things that have been reported on during training camp practices, and it includes some noteworthy things.
From the outside looking in, the question about the OL is how many make the opening roster? The starting five is set, left to right being Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker and Terence Steele. TJ Bass is the top backup, with Nate Thomas and rookie Drew Shelton forming a consistently mocked group of eight OL.
Will they carry a ninth or an even 10? Can last year's late-round pick Ajani Cornelius convince them to carry five tackles, knowing Tyler Smith can slide outside? Does it make more sense to bring guard Nick Leverett to the regular season, or what about UDFAs Shiyazh Pete and DJ Wingfield?
As a fifth-round pick at the running back position, many expected Blue to be a part of the Cowboys' rotation on offense in 2025. However poor work ethic seemed to mar almost all of his rookie campaign, leading many to wonder if the club would move past the thought of him this year. He's seemed to correct those issues, reporting with a renewed focus and breaking several big plays through the first two weeks of camp.

According to FOX59/CBS4's Mike Chappell, Indianapolis Colts longtime general manager Chris Ballard clarified on Tuesday in Foxborough to the covering media that starting wide receiver Alec Pierce did not actually receive a 2nd PRP injection in late June—contradicting an earlier circulating report:
Per Colts GM Chris Ballard: WR Alec Pierce did not have a second PRP injection. Clearing up confusion. Been rehabbing since March surgery. Feel good where he's at.
The plan is still for Pierce to ready for the Colts regular season opener at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, September 13th.
That being said, Ballard did indicate that Pierce's injury was both to his ankle and heel.
It will be interesting to see if Pierce can make it back by the time training camp ends, because the Colts have just four training camp practices left this offseason. Time at Colts camp has simply flown by.

It will be interesting to see if Pierce can make it back by the time training camp ends, because the Colts have just four training camp practices left this offseason. Time at Colts camp has simply flown by.

Only one victor didn't impress DanaWhite and the Ultimate Fighting Championship matchmakers on Week 1 ofDana White's Contender Series 2026.
JosephKropschot (9-3) opened the action in a middleweight outingagainst JonathanKunneman (10-1). Kropschot dislocated Kunneman's elbow with anarmbar in the final seconds of the fight. He earned a unanimousdecision win after his opponent refused to tap. Kropschot's intentto finish was enough for White to give him a UFC contract.
"When he got that armbar, I said, 'I'm gonna give him a shot.' 31years old, he went for the finish. I'm always looking for guys tofinish," White said. "That fight should have been finished… Joseph,you went for it and you swayed me and changed my mind.Congratulations."
TomPagliarulo (11-2) was the second fighter to earn a contract onWeek 1. The featherweight prospect finished AnaniasMulumba (10-4) with vicious ground-and-pound in the finalseconds of the fight.
"Thomas, you were in a dog fight; turned it on in the third round,and finished a really tough kid," White said. "Congratulations,you're in."
Former Cage Fury Fighting Championships flyweight champion Bilal Hasan(9-0) was a -5000 favorite going into his matchup against MridulSaikia (9-2). Hassan absolutely justified the odds bydispatching Saikia in 45 seconds to earn his UFC contract. Whitecan't wait for Hasan's first UFC bout.
"This is an absolute no-brainer. Even with the ton of hype,absolutely lived up to it," the UFC CEO said. "When you're thebiggest favorite in the history of the Contender Series, 10 years.That's how you treat somebody, and you absolutely did. I'm excitedto see your future. I'm really pumped for your first fight in theUFC."
AbeAlsaghir (9-0) earned a split decision win in a lightweighttilt against FabrizioEscarrega (9-2). While both fighters went toe-to-toe, Whitebelieves neither fighter stood out to earn a contract. The UFC headhoncho also disagreed with the judges' scorecards on this one.
"I actually thought this was a dog fight between two tough guyswith great records," White recalled. "And the third round was whereI was looking to see who was going to be my guy, and it neverhappened. And I don't agree with the judges. I don't think you wonthat fight. I think the judges absolutely blew that decision. And Ijust didn't see anything that I was looking for."
AnthonyWint (7-0) earned the final contract of the night with afirst-round stoppage win over MatthewAdams (6-3). The heavyweight powerhouse took hardly over 30seconds to reverse a takedown and rain brutal ground-and-pound tosecure the stoppage.
"Anthony, you're a f*cking tank, my friend… Holy sh*t!" White said."I didn't get to see much, but what I got to see was pretty nasty.And I have a long history with your coach, who has nothing but goodthings to say about you. Welcome to the UFC."
