Patrick Mahomes is impressing Kansas City Chiefs fans ahead of the new NFL season getting underway next month.
Mahomes and the Chiefs endured a difficult 2025 campaign, which ended with them losing 11 times in the regular season and missing out on the play-offs after previously making it to three Super Bowls.
Patrick, meanwhile, suffered an ACL and LCL tear and is still currently wearing a knee brace in training.
However, despite the injury issue, Mahomes has been part of the training camp in the last couple of weeks and one recent clip shared by the NFL side has fans excited.

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off their worst season in over a decade. 2025 was not only the first losing season of the Patrick Mahomes era, but it was also the first losing season for head coach Andy Reid since joining the organization in 2013. Finishing 6-11, the Chiefs lost eight of their final nine games in 2025, including losses to division rivals the Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers.
There were a lot of factors that played into the Chiefs' disappointing 2025 campaign. Like the fact that the Chiefs' pass rush was exclusively found on a milk carton, or the absence of any hint of explosiveness at the running back position.
Kansas City's season was already in the trash heap by the time Mahomes tore his ACL in the Week 15 loss to the Chargers. Still, there is no doubt that Mahomes' injury is when things went from bad to a dumpster fire.
For a team that appeared in three straight Super Bowls from 2022-2024 (winning two of them), 2025's fall from grace was a stark reminder that in today's NFL, the fate of a franchise is constantly ebbing and flowing. As hard as the climb to the top is, the fall from grace is twice as sudden and ******* py on the way down.
If the Chiefs want to climb out of the AFC West cellar and improve on last season's third-place finish, they need to be more balanced on offense and find a way to get to the opposing quarterback.

Fred Warner has been to two Super Bowls and two additional NFC Championship Games with the San Francisco 49ers, and he's walked away empty-handed every time. Now entering his ninth season under head coach Kyle Shanahan, the All-Pro linebacker says the group around him understands the opportunity in front of it isn't guaranteed to last.
"There's only so long that we're going to have these opportunities together as this group," Warner said on KNBR. "It's funny though, 'cause I feel like every year our sense of urgency is through the roof. Ever since I've been here, we've had the standard of winning a Super Bowl. It's always been Super Bowl or bust for us."
Since Shanahan took over in 2017, San Francisco lost two Super Bowls to the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFC ****** le in consecutive seasons in 2021 and 2022 to the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively. Warner has been part of that core the entire way, and the roster around him has only gotten older in the pursuit.
With Deebo Samuel's return this offseason, the 49ers are positioned to potentially start five non-quarterback skill players age 30 or older: Samuel, Mike Evans, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk. That group size and age has been matched by only a handful of teams in Super Bowl-era history, none of which found much postseason success doing it.
Warner said the volume of accolades this roster has compiled over the years — All-Pro nods, Pro Bowls, conference ****** le appearances — carries no weight once the season starts.

The "NFL Top 100 Players" is an annual NFL offseason tradition. There are a few names from the Kansas City Chiefs expected to make the cut, but there are also many opponents featured in this year's rankings. Player No. 52 is a player they are scheduled to see across from them this coming season.
No. 52 is Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Tristan Wirfs.
Wirfs started all 12 games he played for the Buccaneers in 2025; he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery before the start of the season, making his debut in Week 4. He has been selected to five consecutive Pro Bowls.
Wirfs and the Buccaneers will host the Chiefs in Week 2 of the 2026 preseason on Saturday, August 22, at Raymond James Stadium.
Produced by NFL Films and the X Original Series, the new season of NFL Top 100 features short-form episodes that reveal the league's top players, as voted on exclusively by current NFL players. Episodes debut on X on weekdays through Friday, September 4, and will air later on NFL+, as well as on other NFL-owned and operated social media platforms.

If you have strong quarterback play, chances are you're going to do well in a given NFL season. Some will now argue you don't need elite quarterback play after the last two Super Bowls were won by Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) and Sam Darnold (Seattle Seahawks). However, competent quarterback play is still much-needed.
The Lions certainly have top-notch quarterback play in Jared Goff. However, what if the Lions get bad injury luck and he goes down? Do the Lions still have a chance with Teddy Bridgewater or Luke Altmyer?
CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan took a look as he ranked NFL contenders by their backup quarterback situations.
Sullivan ranked the 16 teams with odds of +2500 or shorter at DraftKings to win Super Bowl LXI. Of those 16 teams, the Lions ranked 15th on this list.
Not that long ago, Teddy Bridgewater was coaching high school football. After resigning from his post at Miami Northwestern Senior High School in August of last year, he signed on to be a backup for the Buccaneers and did see some action in Week 12 last season against the Rams. There, Bridgewater completed 53.3% of his throws for just 62 yards. The last time he started a game came back in Week 17 of the 2022 season as a member of the Dolphins.

England's Emma Reid showed her resilience to win Commonwealth judo gold in the women's -78kg category, beating Australia's Maria Swan with a cross arm lock.
Reid, 31, retained the ***** le she won in Birmingham four years ago, recovering from conceding an early score and a shido penalty, as she produced an ippon by firmly holding down Swan's arm.
After missing out on the 2022 Games with a spinal injury, her England team-mate Max Gregory took silver on his Commonwealth debut after being pushed down by Canada's Kyle Reyes in the men's -100kg final.
An early yuko was the difference as England's Shelley Ludford lost out to Zanet Michaelidou of Cyprus in their -78kg bronze-medal contest.
'The pinnacle for bowls' - England's Rednall wins gold

#swan #birmingham

A bowler from tiny Norfolk Island in the South Pacific has won a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games despite a complete lack of indoor facilities in her homeland.
Shae Wilson's chances of winning only the island's third medal ever at the Games appeared to have evaporated after organisers announced that the lawn bowls event would be moved inside for the first time.
Bowlers on the island – best known as the place where descendants of the Bounty mutineers resettled in 1856 – must swerve shots around the potholes on two grass greens in its de facto capital, Burnt Pine.
But 27-year-old Wilson, playing at her third Games, mastered the sleek Glasgow carpet to such an extent that she sunk reigning world champion Emma Firyana Saroji of Malaysia on Sunday to finally earn a place on the podium.
"It's crazy to think I've come here and won a medal," Wilson told the Press ***** ociation. "Back home we have one club with two grass greens. It's a struggle to get green-keepers at times and there are a few potholes on the way.

Katherine Rednall beat Guernsey's Alison Merrien 2-0 to win women's bowls singles gold at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Rednall became just the third English woman to win a Commonwealth Games ***** le as Merrien claimed Guernsey's first and only medal at Glasgow 2026.
The victory means England have won three of the four bowls gold medals after Sam Tolchard won men's singles and details Amy Pharaoh and Sian Honnor won women's pairs.
Seven-time World Indoor Bowls Championship singles champion Rednall made her intentions clear as she hit the jack with her very first bowl and took a 3-0 lead in the first end.
But Merrien responded with three shots in the next end in what became a close set.

England will have the chance to add two more gold medals to their haul on the final day of the bowls competition at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Sunday.
The men's pairs team of Nick Brett and Jamie Walker comfortably came through their semi-final 2-0 against Canada to set up a meeting with Northern Ireland's Adam McKeown and Gary Kelly.
In the women's singles, Katherine Rednall from Suffolk was taken to a tie-break by Shae Wilson of Norfolk Island before winning a nailbiting final end.
Rednall, the daughter of former England international John, will face Ali Merrien of Guernsey at the SEC Centre.
"The Commonwealth Games is the pinnacle for us as bowlers," said Rednall. "To represent my country, pull on the England shirt is fantastic and I am so happy to bring back a medal for Team England."

Bowler Alison Merrien has guaranteed Guernsey's first medal of the 2026 Commonwealth Games after reaching the women's singles final.
Guernsey's reigning World Bowls Indoor Championships winner beat Malaysia's Emma Firyana Saroji 2-0 in their semi-final in Glasgow.
Merrien impressed against the 2018 Commonwealth Games pairs gold medallist and 2015 World Champion of Champions as she won the opening set 11-1 in five ends after three consecutive three-shot ends.
The second set was a tighter affair until Merrien took four shots in the fifth end to move into a 6-4 lead.
Saroji pulled a shot back in the sixth end but Merrien won the seventh and final end by three shots to win the set 8-5.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married at Madison Square Garden almost a month ago, and everyone still can't stop talking about it. The couple still haven't shared any photos, so an air of mystery still surrounds the event, though Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid, and others have been dropping details. Reid recently suggested that Kelce stayed in shape ahead of training camp and that all the dancing at the wedding contributed to that. Now, that's proving to be true, as a clip sees Kelce dancing during camp.
Kelce has been the tight end of the Chiefs for 13 years, and for a while there was a lot of uncertainty whether or not he would return for this upcoming football season. Ultimately, though, he signed a new contract with the organization he won three Super Bowls for. While Kelce may be considered old in some sports talk circles, Reid's comments helped dispel that notion, and this funny clip of Kelce "grooving" as shared by KCTV5 on Instagram, also adds fuel to the notion that he's still pumped to be on the field:
I mean, should we be surprised that Kelce busted out a quick dance move while waiting on the field? After all, this is a guy who celebrates a victory with a little jig here and there. I love to see the 36-year-old football veteran out there enjoying himself, and it's clear that his coach is pleased with him as well.

Wales have collected 22 medals so far at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with five gold, six silver and 11 bronze medals.
There are three more guaranteed medals after boxers Orlando Holley-Sotomi and Connor Williams reached Saturday's finals, with Owain Harris-Allan left to box in Friday's semi-finals.
Wales' most successful Games were on the Gold Coast in 2018 where they won home 36 medals, including 10 golds, 12 silvers and 14 bronze, but the streamlined nature of this Glasgow event makes it difficult to compare.
The 2026 medals include six in swimming, six in cycling, four in athletics, three in artistic gymnastics, and one each in bowls, weightlifting and boxing.
The swimming relay podium position count as one medal per race but all the competitors who took part in the heat or finals of that event will be given a medal. That means 13 Welsh swimmers leave Glasgow with medals.

CHICAGO − For Purdue football's quarterbacks, it pays for your head coach to have connections.
Barry Odom's longtime friendship with the Manning family allowed the Boilermakers to receive tips from one of the best to ever play the position.
In June, Peyton Manning spent a day in West Lafayette, during which he mentored Purdue quarterbacks.
"Peyton is tremendous and always is a giver back to the game of football," Odom said.
Purdue starting quarterback Ryan Browne got extensive experience and has developed a new resource in the Hall of Fame QB, who won Super Bowls with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.

The NFL has typically rewarded Super Bowls to cities building new stadiums — even if it's a smaller, midwestern city like Minneapolis, which hosted the 2018 game at U.S. Bank Stadium.
But even though the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing in a glitzy, $3 billion dome in 2031, owner Clark Hunt acknowledged the difficulty in landing a Super Bowl because six other teams are also slated to have new stadiums by then.
Kansas City's hosting of the World Cup, though, bolstered the city's chances.
"Not only did we pull it off, we dominated," Chiefs president Mark Donovan said. "That puts us on a different level now."

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).

Jalen Carter has signed a four-year extension with the Philadelphia Eagles, the club said Tuesday, in a deal that reportedly makes him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history.
Though the 2025 Super Bowl winners did not disclose financial terms, US media said the extension was worth $152 million (133.5 million euros), or $38 million per year, with $106 million guaranteed.
Carter, 25, is one of the NFL's most highly-rated young defenders, having been selected to each of the last two Pro Bowls.
He was drafted ninth in the first round in 2023, and became a cornerstone of the Eagles' vaunted defense.
Carter has 13.5 quarterback sacks and 108 tackles across his first three seasons with Philadelphia.

The San Francisco 49ers, like most teams across the NFL, have started their training camp sessions ahead of the 2026 season, and while their players have decided to continue playing, others around the league are calling it a career.
Among those who have decided to retire is former 49ers linebacker Nick Bellore, who landed on the Washington Commanders' reserve/retired list on Monday.
Bellore played at Central Michigan from 2007-10, earning All-MAC honors twice. He went undrafted in 2011 before spending four years with the New York Jets. After that, he spent two seasons with the 49ers, appearing in 30 games and recording 100 tackles, five passes defensed, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, one sack and one interceptions.
Since then, Bellore has had stints with the Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks (where he made two Pro Bowls) and Commanders.

Chennai: As India look to usher in a new generation of fast bowlers, Australian great Glenn McGrath believes Prasidh Krishna has all the ingredients to become Jasprit ****** rah's long-term pace partner.

The legendary fast bowler, who is the director of coaching at the MRF Pace Foundation, has closely followed Prasidh's rise and feels the tall Karnataka seamer has transformed his potential into performances.

"I'm a big fan of Prasidh," McGrath said. "If he gets his length right, he's got everything going for him."

"He has really matured. He's tall, bowls in good areas, generates bounce and has genuine pace. Occasionally he's a little short, but apart from that, I think he's the whole package. He's really developed and put his potential into performance," he said.

India have handed opportunities to several young quicks during the recent tours of the UK and Zimbabwe as they prepare for a demanding cycle of white-ball cricket, with the ODI and T20 World Cups to be played in South Africa and Australia-New Zealand respectively. It means India will need a strong pace attack firing on all cylinders, and McGrath believes the transition phase they are going through will not be easy.

"You've got ****** rah, who's a class bowler, and Mohammed Shami, who's world-class as well. Mohammed Siraj has been around for a long time too. You can't just expect to pick up straight where you left off. It's always going to be a transitional period," he said, referring to the Australian team, which will also go through a similar phase.

"Other than Pat ****** mins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, hardly anybody gets a chance... So it's not going to be easy for Australia either."

McGrath also pointed out that ****** rah's unconventional action demands careful workload management.

"The way he powers through those last few steps probably puts more stress on his body than most bowlers. It'll be interesting to see how he manages himself," McGrath said.

While India appear keen to fast-track younger bowlers, McGrath insisted experienced pacers still have an important role to play.

"It's always good to have experience there. Young bowlers learn by playing alongside senior guys. I was fortunate to watch Craig McDermott and Merv Hughes. That's where you really learn. I'd always pick an experienced team over a potential team," he said.

On whether veterans such as Shami or Bhuvneshwar ****** ar could still mount a comeback, McGrath said the decision rested on their bodies, motivation and the selectors.

"If they're prepared to put the work in and their body allows it, then why not? As fast bowlers get older, the work only gets tougher. Ultimately, it's up to them and the selectors."

McGrath also called for a rethink in the way fast bowlers are rehabilitated after injuries, arguing that modern systems often "wrap bowlers in cotton wool" instead of making them physically stronger.

It wasn't some early morning disco, but instead the venue for the para mixed pairs B2-B3 final.

Next weekend, the Pro Football Hall of Fame welcomes the Class of 2026. This year, five NFL legends will be recognized for their accomplishments on the field as their stories become immortalized forever in Canton, Ohio. Off the field, another distinguished honoree will also be recognized. During the Enshrinees' Gold Jacket Dinner, Sandy Grossman will become the first television director to receive the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Grossman's recognition marks a historic first for the Hall. Over a broadcasting career that spanned more than five decades, he directed coverage of a record 10 Super Bowls, 18 NBA Finals, five Stanley Cup Finals and multiple Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies.
Grossman retired in 2012 and passed away in 2014 in Boca Raton, Florida, at the age of 78. Earlier this year, his son, Dean Grossman, received the call informing him that his father would finally receive one of football's highest honors.
"I got a text from Rich [Desrosiers] at the Hall asking if I was available to speak in about an hour. So, he called me along with Joe [Hawkins] and Jim [Porter]. I told them I had never been to the Hall of Fame before, and they told me I'm going to get on a plane this year because my father will be winning the Pete Rozelle Award," said Grossman. "It was very emotional. I hung up and started to cry."
Earning a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is one of the most difficult accomplishments in football, whether as a player or broadcaster. The selection process for the Pete Rozelle Award is equally demanding. Candidates require an extensive case for consideration, and only one recipient earns the reward each year.

The San Francisco 49ers added several players who could make an impact for the team in 2026, but it's hard to imagine any of them being more impactful than wide receiver Mike Evans.
Evans joined the 49ers on a three-year deal worth up to $42.4 million this offseason after 12 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 176 career games, he's caught 866 passes for 13,052 yards and 108 touchdowns while making Six Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams and winning a Super Bowl.
Coming to San Francisco, the 32-year-old is expected to be the team's top wide receiver for Brock Purdy to target, and some, including legendary NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson, believe that Evans will be great for the 49ers.
In a post on social media, Johnson predicted that Evans will catch 98 passes for 1,343 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2026. That would be the most receptions, the second-most receiving yards and tied for the fourth-most touchdowns that he's had in year.
With Evans coming off of a rough season where he missed nine games due to injury, those are lofty predictions for this year, but if the 49ers got even 80% of that production, they'd probably be thrilled this year.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been cleared to return to full practice as he recovers from tearing knee ligaments late last season.
The three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback is "extremely optimistic" about lining up for the first game of regular season in September, said his coach Andy Reid.
"Right now he's been cleared to go ahead and participate fully" in practice, Reid told reporters Friday at the team's Missouri pre-season training camp.
The 30-year-old star, a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, led the Chiefs to five Super Bowls in six seasons and three crowns.
A disappointing season for the Chiefs last year was capped in December when Mahomes tore left knee ligaments, requiring surgery for the first major injury in his nine-year NFL career.

Jason Banks made it two wins from two in the men's singles on a mixed day for Team Scotland in the bowls at the SEC Centre.
Former world number one, Banks, backed up his first group game win on Thursday with another straight sets victory, this time against Pakistan's Mohammed 'Chico' Qureshi - who runs an Indian restaurant in Glasgow.
The 30-year-old stormed to a 16-2 win in the first set, scooping up two full-houses of four bowls in a single end along the way, before a tighter 7-3 victory in the second set.
Banks faces Fiji and Wales over the weekend, before rounding off his Group C campaign against England on Monday morning.
The women's pairs endured the mixed emotions of the tie-break on their first day of action.

Jul. 24—When Logan Angelo stopped playing baseball at Creston High School, the 2013 graduate gained his first job in entertainment production as public address announcer at the home baseball games.
While announcing the game in the press box, Angelo also served as a DJ, playing digital music tracks via computerized software. At this year's team banquet, coach Brandon Phipps praised current announcer Cory Latham for his work in providing "a true entertainment event along with announcing the baseball game, like you expect from a big-time venue."
Fast forward 13 years, and the venue doesn't get any bigger than where Angelo worked for more than five weeks this summer at the Houston venue for seven FIFA World Cup matches. Angelo was hired by FIFA as stadium entertainment technical operations manager at the home of the NFL Houston Texans (labeled Houston Stadium by FIFA's non-sponsor policy, but officially now NRG Stadium after several years as Reliant Stadium.)
"This was the largest sports event ever," Angelo said, "when you consider it was held in 16 stadiums across three countries (United States, Mexico and Canada), with 48 teams playing a total of 104 matches over 39 days (June 11 to July 19). It's even a larger scale than the Olympics, when you consider the number of fans traveling for this international sports event. And, it turned out to be a successful event. The cities did a great job as hosts."
For perspective, the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain averaged 66.4 million television viewers in the U.S. on Fox and Telemundo combined. Other than Super Bowls, this is the largest sports audience since the 1994 Winter Olympics (skaters Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan).
