The Washington Commanders begin training camp on Wednesday. But before the players hit the field, general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn met with the media to preview camp and provide some updates.
Peters began the media session with a pair of injury updates from training camp. Last week, the Commanders placed cornerback Trey Amos, edge rusher Dorance Armstrong and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to begin training camp.
Those moves weren't unexpected, considering all three players finished last season on injured reserve after suffering season-ending injuries.
You can add two more players to Washington's injury list to kick off camp: punter Tress Way and linebacker Kain Medrano. Fortunately, neither will be added to the PUP list.
"Tress Way and Kain Medrano are both dealing with injuries, so they won't be dressed up tomorrow," Peters said.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was confronted about LeBron James' decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers on national TV.
Green played an active role in trying to recruit LeBron to the Warriors, with the pair being seen together in recent weeks. However, the recruiting efforts failed as LeBron went to Philly.
With Golden State's public pursuit of James collapsing, Green became the ******* of a joke on TNT Sports' Dunkman World Championships broadcast.
Green was joined by NBA legend Dwight Howard and influencer Cash Nasty on a panel hosted by Adam Lefkoe. Cash, a huge LeBron fan, directly addressed James' refusal to go to the Warriors to Draymond, prompting the 36-year-old forward to respond.
"How is that my loss? It would've been nice, but it's no different than what it's always been."

It's official; training camp is here. The Washington Commanders will unofficially kick off preparations for the 2026 season on Wednesday, the first day of training camp. Rookies reported to Ashburn last Friday, while the rest of the team reported on Tuesday.
Before players hit the practice field on Wednesday, general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn met with the media to preview camp and discuss other topics surrounding the team. Last week, the Commanders made some moves, placing cornerback Trey Amos, edge rusher Dorance Armstrong and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
Peters was asked about Amos, who suffered a fractured fibula in Week 10 last season.
"Yeah, I think with Trey, he's doing really well," Peters said. "I think the first thing I'll say is he's been outstanding in his rehab and really, you know, taken all the things that the medical team has asked him to do and done really well. With him, just had a little soft tissue soreness in the offseason, so we wanted to just take it slow. So, he's actually doing really well right now. Just had a report on him earlier. He should be back soon as well. Just wanted to be overly cautious there, but he's doing great. He'll be back pretty soon."

Since the transfer portal wound down earlier this summer, St. John's was hoping to land a full-time replacement for interim general manager Tom Ostrom. Instead, they are now looking toward their top ******* istant to wear more than one hat.
According to Adam Zagoria, ******* ociate head coach Steve Masiello will ******* ume general manager duties while remaining in his coaching role.
St. John's is also looking to hire an ******* istant to replace Greg Youncofski, who took a position on Richard Pitino's staff at Xavier this offseason, and they are pursuing someone with a strong connection to head coach Rick Pitino. Zagoria also reported that the Red Storm are interested in hiring current Louisville ******* istant Peyton Siva, who played four seasons with the Cardinals under Pitino and won a National Championship in 2013. Siva has worked on Pat Kelsey's staff for the last two seasons, helping his alma mater reach two consecutive NCAA tournaments. It remains unclear if Siva shares mutual interest in joining the Red Storm's staff or if the Cardinals would be willing to part ways with their star-turned-coach.
Masiello — himself, a former Louisville ******* istant who also mentored Siva — is entering his fourth season on Pitino's coaching staff and will become the Red Storm's third general manager in the calendar year.
He replaces Tom Ostrom, a longtime ******* istant in the sport reputed for his recruiting ability who ******* umed general managerial duties on an interim basis in March following Matt Abdelmassih's dismissal from the program early this year.

The Twins offense tonight could only be described as groundball happy, get ready to read the words "double play" about a million times. In the 1st, 2 on and 1 out, Kody Clemens hits into an inning ending double play. In the 2nd inning, Luke Keaschall ends the inning with their second double play.
They finally broke through in the 4th inning, after Clemens doubled and Josh Bell hit an RBI single to put the Twins up 1-0. In the bottom of the 5th Alan Roden hits into the 3rd Twin-killer of the night.
In the top of the 6th, Josh Rojas and Lane Thomas did a double steal, with Rojas stealing home. I wasn't there to see it but Gameday says it happened. Two batters later, the Twin killer himself, Salvador Perez, hit the go-ahead RBI single to put the Royals up 2-1.
The Twins rallied again, with Clemens HBP and Bell singling to center with Clemens going 1st-to-3rd on the play. Then Victor Caratini ended the inning by, you guessed it, hitting into the 4th double play of the night. I'm so glad I missed almost all of this game because that had to be depressing.
What wasn't depressing was the performance of Taj Bradley and the bullpen tonight. Taj racked up 10 strikeouts in his 6 innings of work, allowing just 3 hits, 2 runs, and 3 walks. Then Kody Funderburk, Travis Adams, and Jack Anderson combined for 3 innings of shutout pitching, allowing just 1 hit and striking out 4.

Former Ohio State and current Cleveland Browns defensive back Denzel Ward just got paid. He became the highest-paid DB back in 2022 with a five-year extension worth $100.5 million. That was eventually eclipsed, but with the news of Ward signing a two-year extension reportedly worth $62.2 million ($52.3 million guaranteed), he has reclaimed that distinction once again. The news was first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
After a distinguished career at Ohio State, where he was a consensus All-American and first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2017, Ward was selected by the Browns in the 2018 NFL draft with the No. 4 pick. That draft selection has paid off well for Cleveland. Not only did Ward make the PFWA All-Rookie team and has also been selected to five Pro Bowls.
During his 110-game career, Ward has racked up 361 tackles, 104 pass breakups, 18 interceptions and four touchdowns. He is on the shortlist as the best defensive back in the NFL.
Sources: Browns and five-time Pro-Bowl CB Denzel Ward reached agreement on a two-year, $62.2 million deal that includes $52.3 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid DB in NFL history for the second time in his career.

As a reminder, Ohio State not only sends guys to the NFL, but they eventually get paid a ton of money as some of the best players in the League. Case in point to the Ward news: former OSU and current Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba recently made news by signing a record four-year contract extension worth $168.6 million ($120 million guaranteed).

The NBA is in expansion mode.
As well as the would-be franchises in Vegas and Seattle reportedly attracting bids of up to $10bn, commissioner Adam Silver wants the NBA to expand its horizons into Europe.
Across the Atlantic, NBA Europe franchises – and there are going to be at least 12 of them – are fetching bids of at least $500m, potentially up to and beyond $1bn.
There are kinks to iron out there, but Silver sees NBA Europe as his legacy project. One way or another, it is going to happen.
With a 2027 launch date targeted for NBA Europe, the Vegas franchise likely to launch in the 2028-29 season and Seattle soon after, it could be a very lucrative few years for the league.

There were several reasons the Los Angeles Rams lost the NFC Championship Game last season, but none of those issues fell on the offense. It was multiple defensive and special teams failures that led to the loss.
In the contest, returner Xavier Smith, who established himself in that role in 2024 and 2025, ***** ed two punts in that contest, losing one of them. The lost fumble immediately led to a touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks, which would become one of several hurdles the Rams could not overcome.
During an interview with Kay Adams, running back Kyren Williams stated that he's been putting in more work as a returner during team activities – something Bubba Ventrone alluded to in camp.
"I've been catching a lot of punts in practice," said Williams. "I've been catching punts in OTAs, and so that's something that you know I kind of, that's who I am. I can do everything on the field. I can catch the ball. I can run the ball. I can block, and I can return punts.
"That's a standard I hold myself to. I want to be able to do anything that anybody asks for me to do. So if that's catch punch, shoot, I'm gonna go back there and catch some punch, make some plays happen, just to show you that my versatility is really real."

With the Major League Baseball trade deadline coming up Aug. 3, the Milwaukee Brewers are sitting in an obvious playoff spot, have a loaded farm system and would theoretically be players for some of the top names seemingly available on the trade market.
But can we really expect 2026 to look different from other trade deadlines?
Count Mark Feinsand of MLB.com among those who believe the Brewers will indeed be "aggressive" at the deadline, but what does that look like?
ESPN writer Jeff Passan put together "10 blockbuster deals that would rock the trade deadline" and arranged two deals involving a superstar going to Milwaukee. They would certainly count as aggressive.
Passan first proposed a deal that sends Detroit Tigers star left-hander Tarik Skubal to the Brewers for right-hander Logan Henderson, left fielder Josh Adamczewski and infielder Ricki Moneys. The latter two are among the more intriguing prospects in the Brewers organization, and Henderson is just graduating from prospect status into reliable major-league starter.

It wasn't that long ago that Denzel Mims was a more highly-regarded WR prospect than George Pickens. Their careers have gone very different directions, with Pickens playing 2026 on the franchise tag and Mims coming off a two-year stint in the UFL. While likely not to the same degree, can the Cowboys help Mims' career as they did Pickens' last year?
Years in NFL: 4*
Acquired by: Free agency (2026)
Mims was a second-round pick by the Jets in 2020, part of a loaded WR class that included CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk, Jerry Jeudy, and several others who've found steady, contributing roles in the NFL. But on top of entering the league during COVID, which that entire class had to overcome, Mims also missed most of his rookie training camp to injury. He didn't play until Week 7, but still had what ended up being his most productive season with 23 catches for 357 yards in nine games.
In Mims' second season, the Jets went from offensive-minded head coach Adam Gase to Robert Saleh, who brought in Matt LaFleur as a new offensive coordinator. This regime change, plus his own issues, hurt Mims' development and footing with the team. He went from eight starts as a rookie to just three in 2021. Mims requested a trade ahead of the 2022 seasons but was denied, and again was limited to a minor role in the WR rotation.
The Jets did finally trade him away in the 2023 offseason to the Lions, but he was waived/injured by Detroit midway through the preseason. He spent about two months on the Steelers' practice squad but didn't make it to their training camp the following year. The Jaguars gave him a look during their camp in 2024, but released him before final cuts.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield have yet to finalize a contract extension, but ESPN insider Adam Schefter believes it's only a matter of time before an agreement is reached.
Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Schefter said he expects the two sides to work out a new contract despite negotiations extending into training camp.
"The Buccaneers have been a team that typically has gotten deals done once camp is underway," Schefter said.
Schefter added that he doesn't believe Tampa Bay and Mayfield will ultimately go their separate ways.
"I think they figure out a way to get a deal done with Baker Mayfield," Schefter said.

The Boston Celtics have some big questions to answer next season. Which of them are the biggest in need of a resolution by the end of the 2026-27 NBA regular season? Several key questions heading into the coming campaign loom large for Boston President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens and the rest of the front office.
Is Neemias Queta ready to start for the Celtics? Is Mitchell Robinson going to stay healthy enough if Queta is not the starter? What can Boston get out of vet guard Mike Conley? Will rookies Chris Cenac Jr. and Dillon Mitchell be ready enough to play? Will the trio of wings Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh, and Hugo Gonzalez take a real step forward to help make up for Jaylen Brown's exit? And will Paul George be healthy most of the season?
The hosts of the "Celtics Beat" podcast, Adam Kaufman and Evan Valenti, took some time to talk with Celtics ***** yst Dan Greenberg on a recent episode of their show about all of the above. Check it out below!

As far as Karlie Kloss is concerned, what happens in the Swift squad stays in the Swift squad.
During an appearance on the "Today" show Tuesday, July 28, the supermodel and pal of pop superstar Taylor Swift spoke about attending the singer's wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden earlier this month.
Kloss, 33, was spotted at the star-studded nuptials alongside husband and venture capitalist Joshua Kushner. The couple were among several A-list attendees at the July 3 ceremony, which included guests such as Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler and Zoë Kravitz.
Kloss, who appeared on the morning talk show to discuss her children's book "Spaghetti Code," was asked what it was like to attend "the wedding of the summer."

The Minnesota Vikings locked up one of their longest-tenured players on Tuesday, agreeing to an extension with right tackle Brian O'Neill, per Adam Schefter. According to Schefter, the deal is four years, $96 million, keeping O'Neill in purple through the 2030 season.
O'Neill was entering the final year of his deal, with no guaranteed money in the 2026 season. There was speculation that he may do a "hold-in" to protect himself in the case of injury until a new deal was done, but now he and the team don't have to worry about that scenario.
Veterans were set to report on Tuesday, with quarterbacks having done so on Monday and rookies on Sunday. So the deal removes any questions about O'Neill's short and long-term status with the team.
O'Neill is entering his ninth season with the team. If Harrison Smith retires, O'Neill will be the longest-tenured player on the roster. His 81.6 PFF grade in 2025 ranked second among all offensive players, even while fighting through injuries that held him out of three games.

Even though the pads aren't on yet, the competition in training camp is heating up. The Los Angeles Rams held their second practice at LMU on Monday and a handful of players stood out in a positive way – including two young guys who are trying to make their mark on the 53-man roster.
Based on reports from camp, here are four players who performed well in Monday's practice.
The Rams traded up for Daniels in the sixth round of the draft this year and they may have found their latest Day 3 gem. The former Miami receiver drew high praise from reporters in attendance, as well as his head coach Sean McVay. Stu Jackson of TheRams.com noted that Daniels "caught just about every target thrown his way on Monday" while working with the second-team offense.
McVay said Daniels has "done a good job and called him a "mature rookie" with a "no-nonsense mentality." And with guys like Puka Nacua and Davante Adams to learn from, McVay likes the potential of the rookie wideout.
"So it's a great group, but I'm excited about CJ and he'll be another guy when you talk about the importance of the preseason, he'll be a guy I'm looking forward to watching play and obviously in these practice settings as well," McVay said.

The countdown until the 2026-27 college basketball season continues to roll on. As it stands now, we are just under 100 days until tipoff for the new campaign.
UNC is entering the first year of the Michael Malone era as he replaces Hubert Davis. Now, Malone has the task of turning this program around and getting it to where it needs to be. Malone and his staff have built the roster using returning players, the 2026 recruiting class, and a good transfer portal class.
UNC's backcourt should be strong, but there are some concerns regarding their height. The Tar Heels were able to add some frontcourt players, but it likely won't be a strength for them. CBS Sports **** yst Isaac Trotter wrote on the Tar Heels, and he has some concerns about their post depth:
I'm getting nervous about UNC's big man situation. 7-footer Sayon Keita is still not on campus as he wades through all the eligibility red tape. I'm in on Matt Able and freshman Maximo Adams, but UNC could have some hairy moments with this frontcourt. I think UNC is more of a top-30ish team than a top-15 unit nationally.
Trotter wrote that in the section of "teams he will be lower on than the consensus," and he mentions that he will have them as a top 30 team. Keita should be on campus soon as **** ysts have said they are not worried about his absence so far.

The Bears had a knack for saving their best work for the latest portions of games while winning the NFC North and advancing to the divisional round of the playoffs last year, but quarterback Caleb Williams isn't looking for a repeat of that in 2026.
A big reason why Williams is on the cover of this year's Madden game is because of the stirring comebacks he led in the regular season and the playoff win over the Packers. Those comebacks were necessary because of how the Bears struggled to get into gear early in games and Williams said on Up & Adams on Monday that his plan for this season is for the Bears to stretch those late game fireworks over a longer stretch of this year's contests.
"It's gonna be really exciting," Williams said. "It's gonna be really fun to watch. It's going to be more entertaining than last year, hopefully not as much of a heart race. It's going to be a little more entertaining, entertaining throughout the whole game and what we're going to bring to the table as a team. You can feel it. You can see it. The confidence, it's not thinking, it's what goes on outside."
One way for the Bears can stay on course throughout games is by holding onto the ball for longer portions of them. Williams completed 58.1 percent of his passes in 2025 and pushing that number higher should allow for more bites at the apple over the first three quarters, so that should continue to be a focal point for the quarterback as the team hits the field at training camp this week.

Manchester United are considering a bid for Bournemouth midfielder Tyler Adams, according to talkSPORT. Man United want one more signing in the position after recruiting Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans earlier this month. Adams has been on the Red Devils' radar for a while, and a concrete move could now be on the cards. The American is loved by Man United's data department, and they want him at Old Trafford. It is believed around £40 million could be enough to get the Bournemouth star this summer.
The 27-year-old has been dubbed a 'great leader', and the Red Devils could do with his quality in the middle of the park. While the Cherries star is primarily a midfielder, he is capable of playing as a full-back on either side of the defence or midfield. Man United manager Michael Carrick is a fan of versatile players, and Adams fits the bill. The American brings much-needed experience to the table having spent four seasons in the Premier League after four seasons in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig.

The NFL received a huge shakeup following a superstar defender's decision to request a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And the Pittsburgh Steelers would be wise to pay close attention.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Buccaneers Pro Bowl defensive lineman Vita Vea has requested a trade out of Tampa Bay following failed contract negotiations. And considering the fact that the Steelers have prioritized upgrading their defensive line in recent offseasons, a trade for Vea could finally complete the process.
Vea, who was drafted by the Buccaneers in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, has spent the past eight seasons in Tampa Bay, recording 35 sacks and 256 combined tackles while cementing his place as one of the league's best run defenders.
A two-time Pro Bowler whose versatility allows him to impact the game as a nose tackle and defensive tackle, Vea could be the final piece of an otherwise Super Bowl-ready roster in Pittsburgh.

If you know what you are doing wrong, you can at least do something about it.
Adam Ramsay-Peaty, however, appeared at a loss after his second bronze medal of the Commonwealth Games.
"Nothing makes sense this week," he told BBC Sport.
Things that once came so easily – namely, speed and winning over one or two lengths of a swimming pool – now look out of reach.
So is this the end of the road for one of Britain's greatest Olympians, or can he turn the tide in time for the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028?

It's been a busy offseason for UNC basketball, which had to put together a roster for its first season under head coach Michael Malone while keeping an eye on the future.
The Tar Heels will have at least 10 new players on Malone's first roster around returners Jarin Stevenson, Jaydon Young and Isaiah Denis. Maximo Adams, Sayon Keita, Kevin Thomas and Malloy Smith are four freshmen set to join that group in Chapel Hill.
Looking beyond the 2026-27 season and ahead at future recruiting classes, Malone has scholarship offers out to 12 players in the 2027 class and five players in the 2028 group, according to 247Sports.
Here's a full breakdown of the players UNC has offered in the 2027 and 2028 recruiting classes, as of July 27.
A Rocky Mount native who started his career at Northern Nash High School before deciding to transfer to Southeastern Prep in Florida ahead of his senior season, Rosser is the top-ranked player in the 2027 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. The 6-foot-10, 195-pound forward just wrapped up his second unofficial visit at UNC and helped the U17 U.S. National team win the FIBA World Cup in Turkey. Rosser averaged 16 points per game and scored a team-high 23 points in the **** le game against Serbia. He could be the crown jewel of Malone's 2027 recruiting class.

Box Score
The road trip for the Brewers started out with the offense mostly silent. They were shut out by the Giants 3-0 on Monday, the fifth time they have been shut out all season. However, it's also the second time it's happened in the last six games.
Scoring chances were very limited tonight. The first came in the second inning. Jake Bauers hit a one-out single, then Andrew Vaughn drew a walk following a challenge. It set up an early scoring chance, but Garrett Mitchell grounded into a double play to end the inning.
Meanwhile, Brandon Sproat worked through the first two innings scoreless, but did have to work around a couple situations. In the first, Heliot Ramos hit a fly ball to right, and Bauers appeared to have an easy catch. However, it bounced out of his glove, and Ramos reached second on the error. Ramos would steal third, but Sproat kept him there with a strikeout and groundout.
The Giants got two more baserunners in the second. Casey Schmitt lead off the inning with a single, but had to come out of the game with a leg injury. Pinch-runner Christian Koss stole second and Willy Adames drew a walk, but Grant McCray hit into a double play and Sproat got out of the inning.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Three-time Pro Bowler Jamal Adams says he's joining the Minnesota Vikings on the eve of training camp.
Adams announced the move on social media Monday night, posting "Year 10" and the Vikings' "skol" hashtag.
