Wednesday was the initial practice in Dallas Cowboys' training camp, and it didn't long for one of the team's offseason storylines to take center stage. There has been talk about running back Jaydon Blue having a much better second season than he did as a rookie, and that came to fruition early in practice.
After fellow second-year RB Phil Mafah was stripped of the football by Rashan Gary, Blue took over in the backfield on the next play, and showed off his game-breaking speed. The 45-yard touchdown run is the type of explosive play the Cowboys are hoping for with Blue this season.
The Cowboys offense boasts two elite weapons at wide receiver and a strong lead back with Javonte Williams, but they were lacking a home-run threat last season. Blue can be the lightning to Williams' thunder and his big play to kickoff training camp is exactly what the offense hopes to elicit from his touches.
If Blue is ready to take the second-year jump, the Cowboys' offense might be even better than they were in 2025. The only other player with Blue's type of speed is KaVontae Turpin, but the young RB out of Texas can be more of a reliable dynamic offensive weapon.
It didn't take long for Blue to get off to an electric start, which could be bad news for the defenses around the league.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - John Harbaugh is not thinking solely about tomorrow. Or the next day.
Just about everything his New York Giants do on the practice fields and in the meeting rooms here at The Greenbrier Resort has a singular focus: being ready for the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 1 "Sunday Night Football" showdown.
The offseason program was not necessarily about competition, more so technique and ******* ignments.
Training camp is about getting ready for the real thing to the slightest detail in preparation and performance.
"We're chasing execution," Harbaugh said. "We're chasing execution. We're at a stage now, we're getting ready for the games. I mean, that's what practice is for. We're not here to practice. It's not a training camp exercise. We're here to prepare for the games that we're going to play. What plays we call, how we practice, all those things. We're not just running plays out here to run plays. That's why we want to keep our plays to ourselves when we're doing them out here. So, that's what we're evaluating: our execution."

Northern Ireland's Ellie McCartney has won a bronze medal in the women's 200m **** troke final at the Commonwealth Games.
McCartney, 21, finished third behind home favourite Abgharad Evans and Kaylene Corbett of South Africa.
The 21-year-old had posted the sixth-fastest time in the semi-finals but put in a storming performance to take third in a time of 2:24.73.
Her time was enough to win bronze ahead of Australia's Ella Ramsay by 0.16 seconds.
McCartney is Commonwealth Youth Games in 2023 and European Under-23 gold medallist last year, but her bronze in Glasgow is a first senior international medal for the Enniskillen swimmer.

The Seattle Seahawks may have Wednesday off from training camp practice, but they're busy looking at possible roster additions.
Former Dallas Cowboys safety Donovan Wilson is slated for a workout with Seattle, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It could be yet another former Cowboys defensive player reuniting with current Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde.
Wilson was drafted by the Cowboys in 2019 and started in five of his seven seasons with the team. He recorded 13 sacks, nine forced fumbles, and eight interceptions in his career, including (barring an un-retirement) the final interception of Russell Wilson's career.
When Dan Quinn was the defensive coordinator, Wilson as among the three safeties in Quinn's "big nickel" package, and his best season came in 2022 when he had a career-high five sacks and seven tackles for loss, earning him a three-year contract extension.
The Seahawks are currently without Nick Emmanwori, whose recent ankle surgery landed him on the PUP list. His status for Week 1 is unclear but it's not expected to be a long-term absence. In the meantime, the 30-year-old Wilson would be a possible veteran presence with a legitimate shot to make the roster. We'll see if the workout turns into an eventual signing.

The Dallas Cowboys held their annual pre-training camp opening press conference on Tuesday, with Jerry Jones, Brian Schottenheimer, and Stephen Jones taking to the podium like usual. For the first time in a long time, these heads of state for America's Team coming to the podium marked something significant before any of the three even said a word – the Cowboys have made it to the true ramp up for 2026 without any significant off the field drama, major contract disputes, or just Cowboys drama for the sake of drama.
The Cowboys' quiet offseason is hopefully just the start of a recipe for success in the regular season and beyond, but it became clear that the team's secret sauce they believe in is, in fact, the coaching across the board. Jerry seemed to understand that at this point in his ownership tenure the last thing any diehard fan wants to hear him talk about is his ability to select coaches. What fans have wanted to see is not only the right coaches in place, which the Cowboys will have to now prove once real practices begin Wednesday, but Jones and the rest of the front office giving whatever coaches are in place the freedom and **** e to hone in on the details of actually doing their jobs.
The Cowboys are doing that right now at a level that should excite fans considerably, and coach Schottenheimer started to get into this later on during opening remarks. The same rookie head coach that said the reason the Cowboys would be contenders with him at the helm was in part because of how hard he works before the 2025 season, said that his new rookie defensive coordinator Christian Parker is "maybe the hardest working coach I've ever been around".
Christian Parker with the Eagles
Parker's experience working with Vic Fangio, the way the Cowboys have supported him from the jump by getting players that fit the scheme, and how much he's impressed Schottenheimer, and the Cowboys attention to detail around coaching feels even fresher than even their previously-stated lack of drama. Parker's expertise across the defense is of course in the secondary, where Dallas actually spent free agency money on a safety this offseason.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS Sports broadcaster Tony Romo was arrested in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin on the night of July 23, according to police records obtained by USA TODAY Sports.
According to the records, Romo is accused of operating a vehicle while under the influence (OWI). Romo was stopped going southbound on I-43 and "performed poorly on SFSTs (standard field sobriety tests)." On July 28, new details came to light after bodycam footage surfaced.
Obtained by TMZ, the footage showed what took place during the stop and led to his arrest. Romo explained he was heading to his grandparents' home at the time of the stop, which occurred after the quarterback left a golf tournament nearby.
Take a look:
According to the officer, the reason for the stop was "unsafe passing on the right," and "cutting across the gore."

No matter where LeBron decides to go, it would be seen as him chasing rings, since almost every team in the league already has stars. "Where does Charles and the legends want LeBron to go? Do they want him to go to the G League? Because if he went to Cleveland, is that team stacked? Is Miami with Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo is that team stacked? Jokic and Jamal Murray is that team stacked? Ant Edwards, Rudy Gobert I don't know; he left Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves is that not? I don't understand the premise of the complaint," Windhorst said in response. — 7/28/2026 basketballnews.com
Shams Charania: "The Heat are among several championship contending teams that are monitoring Klay Thompson's situation and have interest in Klay Thompson potentially via trade or a buyout.

Jalen Hurts did not wait for a question to establish the Philadelphia Eagles' standard for the 2026 season.
Hurts opened his first training camp news conference with a statement about the offseason, the workouts he organized with teammates and the importance of strengthening relationships throughout the offense.
"Really good summer," Hurts said. "We got a lot of work in, got a lot of guys together and definitely grew closer. The mentality is 100 percent alignment, zero entitlement."
The message reflects Hurts' approach to leading a roster filled with accomplished and highly paid players. Philadelphia has Pro Bowl selections, All-Pro performers and players with championship experience, but Hurts does not believe previous success guarantees future results. His offseason work amid A.J. Brown's departure was designed to build the alignment he referenced. Hurts trained with quarterbacks Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton and Cole Payton in Orlando, Florida, while several wide receivers and tight ends participated in throwing sessions.
DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Elijah Moore, Dallas Goedert and rookie Eli Stowers were among the offensive players involved. First-round receiver Makai Lemon joined the sessions after working through a hamstring injury. The workouts allowed teammates to develop timing while learning how each player communicates and responds to coaching. That familiarity is particularly important as Philadelphia installs Sean Mannion's offense and incorporates several new skill-position players.

IndyCar has unwrapped its highly anticipated next-generation race car, the Dallara IR-28, with the new car scheduled to make its racing debut at the start of the 2028 season.
The brand-new chassis and aero pack replaces the long-serving Dallara DW12 chassis that has been running around the series since 2012-it's basically vintage at this point.
The redesign focused on reducing weight, increasing driver safety, and fundamentally changing the aerodynamics to maximize wheel-to-wheel overtaking opportunities. IndyCar people openly say that the IR-28 is engineered to eclipse current lap times and actively smash long-standing track records-including Arie Luyendyk's legendary 236.9 mph qualifying average set at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1996.
Rather than chasing pure downforce at the expense of the chasing pack, the IR-28's aerodynamic furniture has been purpose-built from day one to optimize the vehicle's wake.
Key design and bodywork highlights include:

Mavericks rookie Sergio De Larrea reveals bold vision for his NBA future originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Becoming a member of the Dallas Mavericks marks the realization of a dream Sergio De Larrea had for years. This year's NBA Draft finally paved the way for the young guard, and he is now preparing to begin his professional journey in the NBA.
De Larrea reflected on the opportunity during an exclusive interview with The Smoking Cuban in Las Vegas during the opening days of the Summer League. He also shared how he envisions his role at the NBA level.
"Try to be in as much as positions as I can play. Let's see in the future I can play more positions, and this is gonna be for me to be a better player and be more versatile," he said.
De Larrea was originally selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 25th overall pick in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft before his draft rights were later dealt to the Dallas Mavericks. He officially signed his rookie contract with Dallas in July, completing his move from Valencia Basket to the NBA organization.

The NFL officially has all 32 teams in training camp. Tuesday marked the final reporting day, and the preseason is now just weeks away. However, quarterback news is already making headlines.
The Atlanta Falcons have reportedly signed former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush. Their top two quarterbacks, Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix, are both expected to miss time early in camp because of injuries.
That leaves the Falcons with only two of their four quarterbacks currently healthy. Here's a look at the depth chart following Rush's signing:

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS broadcaster Tony Romo was arrested for OWI last week in Wisconsin. Bodycam footage of that arrest was published by TMZ on Tuesday. Within hours of that, conversation had already drifted to an unexpected place in the podcast realm.
"She has something against Tony right there," McCoy said on his "Speakeasy" show. "Unless she gambled. She might have placed some bets on Tony. On a serious note, though, sometimes I think, and I'm not saying the law enforcement, but sometimes, like, we're overdoing our job. Because he doesn't even seem drunk."
Emmanuel Acho attempted to clarify exactly what McCoy was saying by directly asking if it was that Romo should be given a pass, which McCoy was easily able to answer.
"I'm giving him a pass, God dang it," McCoy said before asking why Acho also wouldn't give him a pass.
"If you're driving under the influence I will never give you a pass," Acho explained. That serious comment lingered for barely a split second before everyone involved started laughing about an old viral video.

Michaela Walsh delivered a punch-perfect display to guarantee herself at least bronze, dominating Scotland's Lara Brown in their featherweight quarter-final, but Caitlin Fryers bowed out in the flyweight division.
The defending Commonwealth Games champion put on an exhibition of counter-punching to win every round on all five cards, sweeping into Friday's semi-final where she will face Fiji's Jasmine Daunakamakama.
It is Walsh's fourth Commonwealth Games and the Holy Family fighter has now medalled in each, winning gold four years ago with silvers in 2018 and 2014.
However, it's performance rather than podium which is driving the 33-year-old this time.
"Medals don't define happiness," Walsh told BBC Sport NI.

Ramadan "The Scorpion" Ondash and Abdallah Ondash are brothers, close friends, and ruthless training partners who have spent much of their lives pushing each other toward the highest levels of Muay Thai.
The 19-year-old Ramadan will face former friend Johan "Jojo" Ghazali in a flyweight Muay Thai co-main event of The Inner Circle 24 on Friday, July 31.
Six years his senior, Abdallah will compete earlier that evening when he seeks revenge against Chokpreecha PK TomTKalaiyont in a strawweight rematch. The event streams live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium exclusively for members at live.onefc.com.
The Lebanese siblings have already competed on the same ONE Championship card four times, winning every bout between them. Remarkably, each brother has suffered only one promotional setback, and both defeats came when the other was not competing alongside him.
Martial arts has always occupied an important place in the Ondash family. Their father was a wrestler, while their brother Ahmad became the first family member to seriously pursue Muay Thai and later opened a gym in Lebanon.

Real football is back for the Dallas Cowboys, who are set to take the field for the first time in training camp on Wednesday. Most of the roster is set, with a conservative number of around 35 players all but guaranteed to make the team.
That leaves almost 20 roster spots up for grabs. Anything can happen this summer in Oxnard, and odd things occur annually in training camp, so there are some veterans who might be surprise cuts for the Cowboys. Here are four players who could be shocking releases if they don't perform well in camp.
The offense doesn't have many depth issues, but tight end is a position where Dallas could be looking for more quality. The starter is Jake Ferguson, and the No. 2 option now appears to be Brevyn Spann-Ford, who has taken over for Luke Schoonmaker in the pecking order. While neither excelled as a receiver in the offense, Spann-Ford is a much better blocker.

Among those who could push Schoonmaker off the roster are undrafted free agent TE Michael Trigg, who brings an intriguing skill set as a receiver, or Princeton Fant, who's managed to stick around for the last two seasons.

The beauty of a five-month-long basketball season is that it leaves room for pauses – a mid-season exhale, even. For the WNBA, it arrives in the form of All-Star Weekend. It's a moment when the league's best fans come together to vote on who and what they want to see, creating a weekend built around the All-Star Game, the 3-Point Contest, and a series of, what's supposed to be, lighthearted challenges. Unless you caught any part of the Stud Budz livestream, then it was more like a weekend-bender partying with a little side of hoops.
Although the weekend is centered around basketball and partying, the main event has quietly become fashion. Players have shown up ready to make statements, debut new looks, new partnerships with stylists and, yes, occasionally hard-launch new relationships along the way. This year, more than ever, it felt like stylists were part of the equation, helping players hone in and polish their sense of style. The influence and emblem of basketball was everywhere, whether through stitched motifs, graphic details, or the written across letterman jackets, cargo pants, and t-shirts.
Custom pieces were also trending this red-carpet, with more masculine, blinged-out, and colorful suits were the center of the carpet. Along with this, we saw sleek monochromatic moments. Ombré became one of the defining looks of the weekend, especially as the All-Star Game warm-up uniforms echoed the same gradient effect. From the orange carpet to the after-parties, everyone embraced the chance to have a little fun—and we rounded up the best fits from the weekend below.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has remained in the sports media spotlight throughout his post-playing career as a broadcaster at CBS, but his latest headlines have nothing to do with football.
Just days after news broke that Romo had been arrested in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating while under the influence, newly released body camera footage has provided a closer look at the traffic stop that led to his arrest. The video offers additional context surrounding the incident and has quickly become a major topic of conversation.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office has released a series of videos of NFL broadcaster and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's arrest in Milwaukee last week.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel filed a public records request for the footage shortly after he was taken into custody on July 23.
In the videos, captured on body cameras, the Burlington-reared Romo, 46, appears compliant, though at points seemed confused or unable to hear instructions deputies gave him during their OWI investigation.
A sheriff's office arrest report says Romo was pulled over driving southbound on Interstate 43 in Milwaukee shortly after 6 p.m. because of a bad lane change.
The deputy approached the driver's side of the black Jeep. Romo, who was alone in the vehicle, told the deputy he was coming from a golf tournament, the Wisconsin Amateur Championship golf event in West Bend, and heading to his grandparents' home.

As expected, Micah Parsons is starting training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as he continues to recover from an ACL tear.
The Green Bay Packers placed him on the PUP list Tuesday. But there was reporting Tuesday that should get Packers fans and football fans in general excited.
Per The Athletic's Packers beat writer, Matt Schneidman, the timeline points to a good chance that Parsons returns for a Week 6 showdown against his former Dallas Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football." ***** uming that both teams are playing competitive football by then, that would add up to a must-watch game for NFL fans.
Parsons tore his ACL in Week 15 on Dec. 12 last season against the Denver Broncos. He had surgery on Dec. 30. Per Schneidman, the Packers have a strict "nine-month no-football rule" after an ACL tear, which would place him back on the practice field at the earliest on Sept. 30, four days before a Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
That timeline would give Parsons roughly 2 ½ weeks to ramp up for Green Bay's Oct. 18 home game against the Cowboys. And that's what Schneidman expects to happen.

What does the Boston Celtics decision to extend reserve forward Jordan Walsh signal about their plans for the future? The Celtics elected to pick up the $2.4 million unguaranteed season left on the Arkansas alum's rookie contact for their looming 2026-27 campaign – and then extended for three more seasons on a potentially team-friendly deal.
The $15 million extension will pay Walsh $4.6 million for the 2027-28 NBA season, $5 million flat for 2028-29, and $5.3 million in the final year of the extension for the 2029-30 Celtics campaign. But this deal could hint at the Dallas, Texas native finishing this contract with a new ball club, and the folks behind the "Boston Celtics on MassLive" YouTube channel put together a clip to break down why this might be the case.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what hosts Brian Robb and Souchi Terada had to say about all of the above.

Tony Romo has gone through several ups and downs as the lead NFL game **** yst at CBS Sports, and now he faces legal trouble as well.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback is a polarizing figure on the air in CBS' No. 1 broadcast booth, and his reputation inside the walls of the company has fluctuated in his near-decade in the seat as well. Previous leadership infamously met with him for an intervention of sorts in 2022, shortly after he signed a whopping 10-year, $180 million contract with the network.
In the years since, he called another Super Bowl — in a mostly strong performance that was partly overshadowed when he stepped on partner Jim Nantz's call of the game-winning touchdown — but has continually made high-profile mistakes and drawn the ire of NFL diehards.
Still, in the aftermath of Romo's OWI (operating while intoxicated) arrest in Wisconsin last week, CBS management is seemingly standing behind him. A new report from the Daily Mail contains several quotes from executives at the company who backed Romo, one of whom told the British outlet that Romo "isn't going anywhere."
Some in the industry have speculated that the arrest could be an ideal excuse for CBS to part ways with Romo, who had seemingly been on thin ice at the network in the past. And with the caveat that this report — and other follow-ups — are coming mostly from tabloids, Romo appears to be safe.

An early look at the Madden 27 ratings is here, and there are some surprises for fans.
One of those comes when taking a look at the highest-rated rookies in the game. There are several recognizable names among that grouping, and unsurprisingly, every name on the list was selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. However, there is one prominent player selected in the first round this year that was shockingly omitted from the top 10 rated rookies.
Despite capturing the Heisman Trophy last year and being selected by the Las Vegas Raiders as the No. 1 overall draft pick, Fernando Mendoza was not among the top 10 rated rookies in the new game. The cut-off to make that list was a 78 overall rating, while Mendoza only sits at a 74 overall – missing the top 10 by just a few points.
But reports indicate that the franchise plans to run with Kirk Cousins as the starter this year, so his rating should reflect that he may not make as big an impact in his rookie season. And no one is going to care about his Madden rating in July if he does make the field and plays well this season. It is just a game, after all.
But someone has to be among the top 10 rated rookies in the game, so who made that list? Well, at the top of the list was running back Jeremiyah Love, the third overall selection in the draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Love procured an 82 overall rating in the game. Joining him with an 82 rating was safety Caleb Downs, who was picked by the Dallas Cowboys with the 11th overall pick in the draft.

For a 7-9-1 team last season, the Dallas Cowboys talk a lot about the Super Bowl.
There's nothing wrong with having big goals, and the Cowboys aren't being shy. Coach Brian Schottenheimer reminded everyone earlier this offseason that the Super Bowl is Feb. 14, 2027, and "We plan on being there." Owner Jerry Jones is on that page too.
Jones' address to the media at the start of training camp is always a must-see event, because Jones is likely to say just about anything. And on Tuesday, he was confident about his team.
Jones wouldn't specifically predict his team will make a Super Bowl, but he wasn't backing down from that chatter either.
Jones is so high on his team that he said he has already been asking around about trades.

#dallas

The Dallas Cowboys held their annual press conference to start training camp on Tuesday, and the idea of the offseason being free of drama came up a lot at the beginning.
Jerry Jones noted that he liked that perception and then matters turned to what lies ahead instead of what is in the rearview mirror. In a very non-Jerry way, the team's owner, president, and general manager was expressing such confidence in the group set to start out in Oxnard by saying that he would be willing to risk future ****** ets in the name of helping them.
Obviously that is a hint that Jones could orchestrate a trade to help the Cowboys. In fact, he said that he specifically spoke to an NFL team about "something" on Monday. It is worth noting that on Monday it was reported that Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea requested a trade. That could just be coincidence, though.
As this conversation was going on, Jerry was asked why he and the team moved on from the Maxx Crosby situation after Crosby's trade from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Baltimore Ravens fell through. He thought long and hard and then was pretty pointed.
"We didn't. We did not walk away."
