The Patriots made official the signing of veteran defensive tackle DaQuan Jones. To get him on the roster, the Patriots needed to open a spot.
New England did that by placing wide receiver A.J. Brown on injured reserve.
Brown, who has a high-ankle sprain, will not be eligible to return until missing at least four games. He will not play against the Steelers, Jaguars, Bills and Raiders.
Brown caught three passes for 26 yards and drew a 34-yard pass interference penalty that set up the team's lone touchdown in the loss to the Seahawks.
Veteran Mack Hollins and second-year WR Kyle Williams are the next players up at the X receiver spot.

The New England Patriots are collecting former Buffalo Bills.
New England is signing veteran defensive tackle DaQuan Jones to a one-year contract worth up to $6 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The deal includes a $3.5 million base salary.
Jones becomes the sixth former Bills player currently with the Patriots, joining fullback Reggie Gilliam, wide receiver Mack Hollins, offensive lineman Greg Van Roten, tight end Shane Zylstra and punter Mitch Wishnowsky.
Zylstra and Wishnowsky were released by the Bills as part of final roster cuts two weeks ago and are on New England's practice squad.

The competitive field to build out the tech infrastructure to ease the use of alternative investments in the wealth channel just got a little more crowded as New York-based fintech Aqua announced a $18.8 million Series A to back what it's calling a turnkey alternative investments platform.
The AI-native platform seeks to be a single solution that brings fund creation, operational workflows, investment lifecycle management, marketplace access, document intelligence and investor servicing into a single environment. In addition to managing off-the-shelf private market funds, advisors using Aqua can build special purpose vehicles, registered funds, fund of funds and feeder funds.
The $15 million Series A, led by Arthur Ventures with participation from Alumni Ventures, follows a 2021 $3.8 million seed round backed by Google's AI Fund, Y Combinator. It plans to use the funding to accelerate business and platform development, expand its engineering and partnership teams, and deepen integrations across custodians and fund sponsors. (The firm started as a team of six, but now has two dozen employees and it plans to continue to staff up as it onboards more advisors and fund managers.)
To be sure, Aqua is far from alone in attempting to streamline the alternative investments process. The **** e continues to be led by well-known players iCapital and CAIS, which service thousands of wealth firms through their marketplaces, and each has continued to add tech to support the lifecycle of alternative investments. Firms including SUBSCRIBE, Canoe, Gridline, Allocate, Alto, Arch, Opto, GLAS Funds, Altigo/SEI and Apex Alts also compete in the area, focusing on streamlining all aspects of the investment process. In addition, traditional TAMPs like InvestCloud, Envestnet, Orion, Addepar and Black Diamond have made enhancements to support private markets.

Taylor Swift stepped out for another stylish date night with Travis Kelce in New York City. While her shimmering Stella McCartney dress grabbed attention, the singer's carefully chosen accessories completed the sophisticated look. From metallic Aquazzura heels to statement jewelry, every piece added to the polished ensemble for the evening outing.
Swift paired her metallic brown Stella McCartney Striped Silk-Blend Halter Neck Maxi Dress, priced at $2,800, with equally glamorous accessories. Most notably, she wore Aquazzura Twist 95 Sandals in gold, priced at $944. Crafted from metallic calf leather, the heels featured elegant knot detailing, an open-toe design, and sculpted high heels that perfectly complemented the shimmering gown.
She also carried the Stella McCartney Frayme Scale-Embossed Bucket Bag, valued at $1,595, in a rich chocolate brown shade. The structured handbag added texture to the outfit while coordinating beautifully with the earthy metallic tones of her dress.
Meanwhile, Swift elevated the look with luxurious jewelry. She wore Mindi Mond Imperial Citrine & Diamond Drop Earrings, worth $19,000, adding a vibrant golden sparkle beside her face. She also accessorized with the Elizabeth Taylor Darlene De Sedle 22K Gold & Opal Diamond bracelet and ring. Additionally, she wore her custom 8-carat antique Old Mine brilliant-cut diamond engagement ring and wedding band by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. Together, the heirloom-inspired pieces added timeless elegance.
Her beauty look remained classic. Swift styled her brown hair in soft, smooth waves with full bangs framing her face. In addition, she wore her iconic red lipstick, subtle eyeliner, and softly defined eye makeup. A natural, glowing complexion completed the refined evening appearance.

Taylor Swift brought some serious sparkle to her latest date night with Travis Kelce. The singer stepped out in New York City on September 6 alongside her husband, delivering an elegant evening look packed with luxe details. While her striped high-slit dress made a statement of its own, Swift's jewelry collection, including gorgeous earrings, took the look to an entirely different price bracket.
Taylor Swift accessorized with Mindi Mond's Imperial Citrine & Diamond Drop Earrings, which retail for a whopping $19,000. The striking earrings feature enormous cushion-cut citrine stones suspended beneath glittering round diamonds, bringing a rich golden-yellow pop of color to her look. According to the product listing, the earrings feature a total citrine weight of 31 carats alongside 1.20 carats of diamonds.
Swift let the statement jewels peek through her softly styled brown waves, which she wore down with her signature bangs. The warm tone of the citrine also complemented the earthy palette of her striped Stella silk blend McCartney halter-neck maxi dress without competing with it. Priced at $2,800, the dress made for a perfect date night look. It featured an asymmetric neckline and a high slit that flashed her leg as she walked.
In addition, the $19K earrings weren't the only major jewels involved. Swift also wore an Elizabeth Taylor Darlene De Sedle 22-karat gold, opal, and diamond bracelet and ring set. Most notably, her custom Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry diamond engagement ring and wedding band were also on display.
She completed the outfit with metallic Twist 95 Sandals by Aquazzura and a Frayme Scale-Embossed Bucket Bag by Stella McCartney. These luxury accessories also came with a costly price tag. She walked hand-in-hand with her husband, who wore brown pants and a soft mint-green shirt.

Sep. 6—While many people across the state were paying attention to a certain college football game in Seattle, fans of the Spokane Indians had one last chance to see their "boys of summer" play at Avista Stadium on Sunday.
And though the chance at a postseason appearance evaporated a while ago, that didn't damper anyone's enthusiasm on "fan appreciation day" at the ballpark — not the 4,974 in the stands nor the players on the field.
Robert Calaz clubbed two long home runs to continue his torrid late-season hitting prowess and the Indians handled the Everett AquaSox 10-4 in the finale of the 2026 Northwest League regular season.
"(Starting pitcher Yuma) Herrera did a great job on the mound," manager Tom Sutaris said. "We came out swinging the bats. It was a really, really good start. We got good pitching, and it was a fun one."
Calaz, a 20-year-old prospect from Dominican Republic, hit just .208 over the first four months of the season. But in 24 games since Aug. 1, he's hit .333/.414/.663 with eight of his 12 homers this season.

Amal Clooney turned the waterways of Venice into her own personal catwalk as she stepped out hand-in-hand with husband George Clooney on Friday.
The 48-year-old human rights lawyer looked sensational in a figure-hugging cream Stella McCartney dress decorated with a playful raspberry print as the couple arrived by water taxi for "The Future Of... Creativity" event during the Venice Film Festival.
The romantic off-the-shoulder design hugged Amal's figure before falling to her ankles, with its raspberry motif providing a playful twist on the classic polka dot. According to Vogue Italia, the print was hand-painted in Stella McCartney's London atelier.
Amal completed her look with nude Aquazzura mule heels, oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses and statement gold earrings, carrying a small cream beaded bag with a chain handle.

Less-than-truckload carrier Saia saw tonnage growth accelerate on a year-over-year comparison in August, but it faced an easier prior-year comp during the month than it did in July.
Johns Creek, Georgia-based Saia (NASDAQ: SAIA) reported Thursday an 8.7% y/y tonnage increase in August as daily shipments stepped 1.1% higher and weight per shipment jumped 7.5%. The metrics improved slightly from July's y/y growth rates due to easier prior-year comps.
On a two-year-stacked comparison, Saia's tonnage increases slowed for a second straight month (+6.5% in August and +8.7% in July). That said, the carrier implemented a 7.1% general rate increase on July 6, which it noted can create some near-term volatility. Further, the carrier faces easier prior-year comps (excluding November) the rest of the year.
Saia does not provide revenue-based metrics in its intraquarter updates.
However, the company previously noted that revenue per shipment increased 4% from the beginning to the end of the second quarter. The recent GRI was 120 basis points higher and three months earlier than last year's rate ***** p—another positive sign. And, contractual rate renewals averaged 10.7% in the second quarter (+15.8% on a two-year-stacked comp).

PepsiCo's 54 consecutive dividend increases and Colgate-Palmolive's 61.5% gross margin show how essential, habitual products keep compounding through every market cycle.
3M's specified industrial materials lock customers in through full qualification requirements, delivering 5.4% organic growth and 24.9% operating margins in Q2 2026.
Just released. Our **** ysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now. The report is free. Enter your email and see if any of your stocks made the cut.
Boring works. Over a market cycle, essential-service businesses tend to keep selling toothpaste, chips, and industrial adhesives regardless of what the S&P 500 is doing on any given afternoon. Consider PepsiCo's own dividend record: management has committed to a 4% increase in the annualized dividend per share beginning with the June 2026 payment, which will represent the 54th consecutive annual increase. A streak that long spans every officially declared bear market since the mid-1970s. The three names below are held together by that same idea: durable demand, unglamorous products, and customers who do not easily leave.
PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) sells convenient foods and beverages: Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, Quaker, Tostitos, Pepsi, Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Aquafina, and Tropicana. These are low-ticket, habitual purchases. When households tightened budgets in 2008-2009 and again in 2020, they did not stop buying salty snacks or sports drinks; they traded down within the aisle, and PepsiCo's multi-tier portfolio caught them on the way. On the most recent call, CEO Ramon Laguarta described the international business plainly: "The truth is that all those markets have remained very resilient."

Bloomington native, former Indiana University standout and 1976 Olympian Jennifer Brinegar has been named the new head swimming coach at Franklin College.
She succeeds Zach Rayce, who departed after two seasons to become the aquatic director and head coach at Indian Creek High School.
"Jennifer Brinegar is one of the most accomplished names in the history of Indiana swimming, and we are thrilled to welcome her to Franklin College," Griz athletic director Lance Marshall said in a press release Tuesday, Sept. 1. "Her championship pedigree, years of coaching success and her deep roots in this state's swimming community make her the ideal person to lead our program into its next chapter. Our student-athletes are going to learn from someone who has competed and coached at the highest level, and that's a tremendous opportunity for Griz athletics."
Brinegar attended Bloomington South High School before moving to Louisville, Kentucky to train and find more competition. Girls swimming was not offered as a competitive sport by the IHSAA in 1974-75.
She made the 1976 U.S. Olympic team as a 15-year-old and made the final in the women's 200-meter freestyle while also swimming in a preliminary heat for the gold-medal winning 400 free relay. She went on to win a pair of national championships in 1977, a gold medal in the 400 free relay at the 1978 World Aquatics Championships and a silver in the 800 free at the 1979 Pan American Games.

A football roster is always in the process of being adjusted. However, the degree of roster change in late August and early September is particularly notable. Things are no different in Minnesota.
Yesterday, the Vikings snagged a pair of newcomers. Consider what the team's official social media had to say: "The #Vikings have signed TE Cam Grandy and DL Naquan Jones to the practice squad. TE Marshall Lang has been released from the practice squad."
Note that Minnesota went into these decisions with an open spot on the practice squad. As a result, going +2 with new players alongside just a -1 made the math work.
In Cam Grandy, the Vikings are welcoming a tight end who boasts good size. He's a sturdy 6'5″ and 253 pounds (but a spot like PFF lists him as being a touch larger, coming in at 260 on there). For comparison, T.J. Hockenson is listed as being 6'5″ and 248 pounds. Josh Oliver, meanwhile, is a hulking 6'5″ and 264 pounds.

Santos FC is incorporating APS – Acqua Performance System into its high-performance structure, a methodology developed by Pai e Filho ****** soria, a national benchmark in large-scale and shared-use swimming pools. Created especially for high-performance sports, APS establishes a new concept in aquatic environment care, aimed at athletes' training, recovery, and preparation routines.
Unlike conventional pool treatment, APS is based on an athlete-focused approach. The methodology combines highly precise chemical management, continuous monitoring of water parameters, automation, filtration efficiency, and complementary technologies, seeking to provide a more controlled aquatic environment suited to the demands of a high-performance sports routine.
One of the system's main focuses is eliminating factors ****** ociated with respiratory, eye, and skin discomfort, especially in athletes exposed to the pool frequently.
APS is based on the principle that an aquatic environment developed specifically for high performance helps give athletes better conditions to train, carry out their recovery processes, and reach their full potential. By reducing factors that cause discomfort and more precisely controlling water conditions, the methodology seeks to improve the quality and consistency of training. Better preparation conditions allow athletes to get more out of each session and, as a result, contribute to the development of their sporting performance.
With more than 30 years of experience in shared-use pools, Pai e Filho ****** soria developed APS from the knowledge accumulated in the operation and management of large aquatic facilities. The methodology is intended exclusively for training centers and environments connected to high-performance sports.

Several times over the past few weeks since getting promoted to High-A, members of the Eugene Emeralds staff have provided gentle reminders to Cam Maldonado that he was closing in on a 20-20 season.
"Two more homers for 20-20," they'd say, noting what Maldonado needed to notch at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in the same season. He appreciated the updates, but took it all in stride.
Still, when Eugene traveled to Everett, Washington this week for a six-game series with the AquaSox, Maldonado figured he'd have a good chance at reaching the milestone. Funko Field, after all, has a reputation as a real hitter's paradise.
It sure was for Maldonado on Thursday night.
The Wolcott product and former Hamden Hall star stepped up to the plate as the second batter of the ballgame and clubbed a two-run homer on a 1-2 pitch over the left-field wall. Two innings later, on a 2-1 pitch, Maldonado led off the third with another homer to left to reach the 20-20 mark for the season.

CHICAGO (AP) — A beluga whale died days after it was transported hundreds of miles to a Chicago aquarium from a shuttered Ontario park as part of an ongoing effort to rescue Canada's last captive whales.
The whale, a 23-year-old female named Peekachu, died suddenly Tuesday as caretakers tried to rehydrate her, Chicago's Shedd Aquarium said in a news release. Peekachu was one of eight whales moved from Marineland park in Ontario to the Chicago aquarium this summer — four in July, and four more this month.
Marineland shut its doors in 2024, kicking off a race to find new homes for its 30 beluga whales and four dolphins before they would be euthanized. The Canadian government finally approved a plan to export the whales to the Shedd Aquarium and four other marine parks in January.
Twenty whales — 19 belugas and one killer whale — have died at Marineland since 2019, according to provincial government data obtained through freedom-of-information laws and official statements.
The complex operation to bring the whales to the Shedd Aquarium saw them hoisted in custom-made slings and held in temperature-controlled containers, aquarium officials previously told The ****** ociated Press. Their behavior and health were carefully monitored to the minute once they arrived, officials said.

For Kentucky Basketball's 15th and final roster spot, Mark Mitchell is priority No. 1 for now, while names like Jaxon Kohler and Keyshawn Hall are other potential transfer candidates to fill that spot.
We now have another name that's worth monitoring for the Wildcats.
On Tuesday, On3's Joe Tipton reported that Yale forward Nick Townsend would enter the transfer portal. The 2026 Ivy League Player of the Year instantly becomes one of the best available players following a four-year career with the Bulldogs.
Now, there's been nothing connecting Kentucky to Townsend just yet, but on paper, he looks like someone who Mark Pope should be taking a hard look at.
A 6-foot-7, 240-pound native of Chappaqua, New York, Townsend averaged 16.3 points on 51.1% shooting (46.3% on 3.2 3-point attempts per game), 7.4 rebounds, 4.3 ****** ists, and 1.1 steals across 33.4 minutes per contest. He shot 48.3% from deep on 1.9 attempts per outing in the 2024-25 season. A big man who can ****** e the floor is something Pope loves having, especially when said player is hitting nearly half of his 3-point attempts.

CHICAGO (AP) — Four more belugas have arrived at a Chicago aquarium as part of a plan to move Canada's last remaining captive whales from a shuttered theme park to aquariums in the United States and Spain.
The four whales, named Caspian, Peekachu, Rain and Secord, were the second group of belugas sent to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium from Marineland, in Ontario near Niagara Falls, after an initial four arrived in July.
They are among a total of 30 whales and four dolphins that will be transported from Marineland after the Canadian government approved of the rescue plan, which might have saved them from mass euthanasia.
Marineland announced in early 2023 that it was for sale and closed to the public in late summer 2024. Twenty whales — 19 belugas and one killer whale — have died at Marineland since 2019, according to provincial government data obtained through freedom-of-information laws and official statements.
As part of the rescue efforts, the whales have been making their international trips in custom-built slings and temperature-controlled transport containers. A team of experts flew to Canada to meet the whales' previous caretakers months prior and pored over years of their health records in preparation for the trip.

Liebmann, 19, knocked nearly four seconds off the men's 1500m freestyle record as he claimed his first international gold medal at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris.
He completed the distance in 14 minutes 26.79 seconds - 3.88secs faster than the previous record which was set by American Bobby Finke at the 2024 Olympics, also held in the French capital.
Liebmann became the first swimmer to go under 14:30 for the distance as he slashed the most time off the record since Australia's Grant Hackett in 2001.
Three-time Olympic champion Hackett took more than seven seconds off when he swam 14:34.56 - a record which stood for 10 years.

Italy's Sara Curtis set a new world record in the women's 50-meter backstroke Wednesday at the European Aquatics Championships, finishing in 26.63 seconds in the event's semifinals to lower the mark by nearly a quarter of a second.
Australia's Kaylee McKeown owned the previous mark of 26.86, set in Budapest, Hungary, in October 2023. McKeown, the United States' Katharine Berkoff and Curtis have all threatened the record since. Curtis clocked 27.07 seconds in June, tied for the ninth-best time ever for the race.
The 19-year-old Curtis is a six-time European junior champion and won three golds — including in the 50 backstroke — at the European short-course (25-meter pool) championships last year. This was her first major long-course (50-meter pool) gold.
The 50-meter events — all-out sprints over one length of the pool — will have increased attention over the next two years. The short versions of the backstroke, **** erfly and **** troke will all make their Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The 50-meter freestyle has been in the Olympics since 1988.
The European championships are the biggest event of the year for the continent's swimmers. The Pan-Pacific Championships — featuring the U.S., Canada, Australia and more — begin Wednesday night in Irvine, Calif. The next World Aquatics Championships meet is in July 2027.

The actress is currently promoting her fourth movie of the year, "The End of Oak Street," and she has relied on the luxury footwear brand during several of her press tours. Anne Hathaway was spotted outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Monday in Los Angeles.

The shoes feature a backless profile, open toes and gently fluted mid heels measuring 85mm. The circular, wider base of the heel is designed to make the shoes more comfortable to walk in — something of a necessity when you are doing press during a pregnancy. Aquazzura The mules are crafted from velvety black suede and leather, giving them a timeless allure. The slip-on shoes feature padded leather insoles and the brand's signature logo detailing.

Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson revealed that new FA acquisition Coby Bryant will be out for 4-6 months after having surgery this past Friday on his knee. The injury occurred on the first day of padded practices when Bryant went up against Cole Kmet and came down awkward after getting tangled up with the 6'6", 257 tight end.
Devastating news considering Bears GM Ryan Poles let 2025 starters Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker walk in free agency. To make matter worse, Bryant was Chicago's highest paid FA addition this summer – inking a 3 year $40 million deal – choosing to add to the back seven of the defense with Bryant and linebacker Devin Bush instead of making a big splash up front on the DL.
Good thing Poles landed safety Dillon Thieneman in the first round so the position isn't completely devoid of blue-chip talent. Hopefully the rookie and newcomer Xavier Woods continue to settle in opposite each other and the front seven can pressure the opposing QB, or else we may be in for some more shootouts this season.
Speaking of injuries, has anyone seen Kyler Gordon?

Putting a casual spin on the custom Prabal Gurung design, which also featured a flowing train with a bold crimson lining, Hathaway styled the satin top with baggy low-rise jeans from La Ligne – cosigning the controversial Y2K low-rise jeans trend. The actress topped off her red-carpet look with diamond drop earrings, pink heels with red tips from Aquazzura, and a bold red lip.

Pregnant Anne Hathaway showed off her growing baby ******* p at the LA premiere of her upcoming survival thriller, "The End of Oak Street." The Oscar winner attended the star-studded event held at Warner Bros. Studios on August 9. She is all set to welcome her third baby with husband Adam Shulman.
At "The End of Oak Street" premiere, Anne Hathaway gave a peek at her baby ******* p in her custom Atelier Prabal Gurung top. The icy blue silk top featured a halter neckline, a sleeveless silhouette, and a high-low hem. The cascading train trailed behind her as she moved on the red carpet. The crimson lining contrasted with the light blue color of the top. The inverted cutout at the front created a cropped top that framed her baby ******* p.
The "Mother Mary" star paired it with baggy low-rise jeans and red and pink stiletto pumps from Aquazzura. Styled by Erin Walsh, she completed her look with sparkling drop earrings and a coiled Serpenti bracelet. She wore her hair in a high ponytail. Meanwhile, her makeup featured a clear complexion, black liner, and a classic red lip.
Hathaway announced her pregnancy with her and Shulman's third child in an Instagram video in June. They also share two sons, 10-year-old Jonathan and 7-year-old Jack. During an interview with PEOPLE on the red carpet, she opened up about how pregnancy feels different this time.
"You know, I was in my 30s with my other two, and I'm so different now …. something happened when I turned 40," she said. "I just realized that this isn't a dress rehearsal. It's all real. I'm not, like, saving it up for my future self. It's all happening right now. And so I think I'm just better at being present in the moment, living in gratitude, not taking anything for granted. So I think all of those things are coming together, and it's a real time to enjoy."

After three back-to-back high-glam press tours (Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Odyssey), I'm sure Anne Hathaway was happy to take her foot off the gas for the more laid-back affair that was The End of Oak Street world premiere, held at the Steven J. Ross Theater in Burbank, California, on Sunday.

We have a high-low situation going on here in more ways than one, with a celestial-blue custom Atelier Prabal Gurung sculptural halter top with a cascading train, paired with oversized jeans.
As much as the red Aquazzura pumps and matching lip connect with the vivid-crimson silk lining of the top, I do wish the piece had been celestial blue throughout. The contrast feels slightly unnecessary to me, although it doesn't kill the look.
And then we get to the jeans. I love the low rise, especially with the cropped shape of the top framing her ***** p. It gives the maternity look a modern edge, but I think the jeans would have served it better had they not been quite so long or wide. There is already so much volume coming from that incredible train that the extra fabric pooling around her feet feels like too much.
