The Tennessee ***** ans will take to the field for their first training camp practice on Wednesday, and four new faces will help head coach Robert Saleh get the team ready for the regular season.
Ahead of their first practice, the team announced the addition of four new coaches who have joined head coach Robert Saleh's staff for training camp as part of the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship program: D'Anthony Batiste (offensive line), Malik Davis (defensive line), Ben Wilkerson (special teams) and Lucy Phan (performance).
These coaches were selected by Saleh and running backs coach Randy Jordan, the ***** ans' Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship Coordinator, to help them gain experience and potentially work toward full-time NFL coaching.
Batiste will return to the organization after serving in a similar role during offseason activities. A former NFL offensive tackle, he currently serves as an intern strength and conditioning coach for the University of Las Vegas.
Davis will come to the ***** ans to work with the defensive line, a position he is familiar with, currently serving as a defensive line ***** yst/defensive graduate ***** istant at Texas A&M. After starting his career as a student defensive ***** istant at Georgia Southern, he has also held defensive coaching roles with the University of Cincinnati and at South Alabama.

The Yankees (61-46) look to make it three straight over the White Sox (55-51) tonight at Rate Field following last night's 3-2 win.
Last night was a tightly contested pitching duel that saw the Yankees build an early lead and then survive a late White Sox rally. New York scored all three of its runs in the second inning against White Sox starter Anthony Kay. The rally began when Jasson Domínguez singled and Trent Grisham followed with a hit. Anthony Volpe then drilled an RBI double to deep center field, scoring Domínguez. Two batters later, Max Schuemann delivered the biggest hit of the game, a two-run double that plated both Grisham and Volpe for a 3-0 Yankees lead. The story for most of the evening, though, was Gerrit Cole, who looked dominant in his sixth start since returning from Tommy John surgery. Cole worked six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits while striking out seven and walking two. Chicago struggled to generate offense until the ninth inning. Yankees closer David Bednar entered looking for his 22nd save, but Braden Montgomery singled and Chase Meidroth followed with a dramatic two-run homer to left field, trimming the deficit to 3-2. Bednar regrouped, however, striking out former Yankee Everson Pereira to end the game and secure the save.
The Yankees have now won five of their last six games and are within 1½ games of first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East, while the White Sox remain atop the AL Central despite dropping four of their last five.
It seemed like the Sox were facing the ace of the Yankees' staff last night but tonight Chicago must face New York's current ace, Cam Schlittler (10-6, 2-07 ERA). His most recent start came on July 24 against the Phillies. He threw 7.1 shutout innings allowing just three hits while striking out 12. The White Sox will send Davis Martin (9-5, 3.49 ERA) to the **** p. The right-hander has had a breakthrough season but has been inconsistent of late allowing 12 earned runs over his last 18 innings.
Lets dive further into tonight's game and find a sweat or two.

CHICAGO (AP) — The nation's first women's professional baseball league in nearly 30 years is about to embark on its inaugural season in what marks a major milestone in the scattered history of the sport in the United States.
The Women's Pro Baseball League is also part of a timeline that goes back to the very beginning of the sport.
"Women have always been part of this game," said Kat Williams, the chief executive officer of the International Women's Baseball Center. "We've always played, we've always umpired, we've always coached. And in some of the earliest references in the 17th century, the earliest references to something like a game of baseball, it was women that were playing it."
Next up is the WPBL, which plays its first game Saturday. The league has four teams — New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco — for its first year, but the 15 regular-season games for each club and the playoffs will be held at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. The ballpark has a seating capacity of 5,200, and Springfield hosted one of the earliest paid women's games when the Blondes faced the Brunettes on Sept. 11, 1875.
Kelsie Whitmore, Mo'ne Davis and Ayami Sato are among the marquee names expected to play in the league's first season. Each team will have 15 active players for the seven-inning games.

Wide receiver River Cracraft is back with the Commanders.
Cracraft played two games for the team last season and the Commanders announced his signing on Wednesday morning. They also confirmed the signing of punter Matt Haack.
Cracraft returned a pair of punts during last year's stint in Washington. He had 32 catches for 374 yards and three touchdowns in 53 games for the Dolphins, 49ers and Broncos before landing with the Commanders.
The Commanders released linebacker Andre Carter and tight end Anthony Firkser to create **** e on the roster for the new arrivals. They also announced that they have activated cornerback Fred Davis from the non-football illness list.

Detroit — Seven down, one more to go.
This week marks the eighth and final playing of the PGA Tour's Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club.
So, who will join the roster of champions that includes Nate Lashley, Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Davis (twice), Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler and Aldrich Potgieter? We'll know soon enough, before the sun sets on Palmer Park on Sunday.
In the meantime, The Detroit News' so-called experts (loose term) provide their predictions:
Predicting the winner of a 147-player PGA Tour tournament is a near-impossible task, unless Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlory or prime Tiger Woods is teeing it up. Usually, I like to lean in heavily on the horses-for-courses theory, so I considered the likes of Jake Knapp (tied for fourth course-record 61 last year), Chris Kirk (lost in a playoff last year) and Taylor Moore (the only player with three top-10s here), but the course has been renovated. So I'm going with The Kid, JACKSON KOIVUN, 21, fresh off his first PGA Tour win at the 3M Open. We'll pick him to go back-to-back at 3M and Rocket, like Tony Finau in 2022. If Koivun wins, he'd be the second player to receive a sponsor's exemption into the Rocket (2024), only to win the tournament two years later (Aldrich Potgieter, 2023 exemption and 2025 ****** le).

FOXBOROUGH, Mass – After a slow day on Monday that consisted of just a walkthrough practice, the New England Patriots certainly ramped things up on Tuesday. The players took the field in shells, preparing for their first padded practice which is set for later this week.
And with that, those in attendance got their first look at the offense doing 7-on-7 drills as well as some time spent on 1-on-1s between the offensive and defensive lines.
With a higher-intensity practice comes lots more to talk about, so let's get into some takeaways:
The Patriots had three players depart practice early on Tuesday. First, it was starting cornerback Carlton Davis, who left after covering A.J. Brown during the 7-on-7 session. Kindle Vildor replaced him, and then Charles Woods. Then, when 11-on-11s began, it was Woods who was playing opposite Gonzalez, but he also left early. And lastly, there was Rhamondre Stevenson, who departed in the final minutes of practice.
Kayshon Boutte is unstoppable.

Jalen Carter is no longer being paid for potential. The Philadelphia Eagles are compensating him like the centerpiece of a championship defense.
Carter agreed to a four-year, $152 million extension that reportedly includes $106 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history by annual value. That distinction brings more than financial security. It establishes a standard Carter will be expected to meet every week. The Eagles have already seen stretches in which Carter appears capable of controlling games from the interior. His first-step quickness, power and ability to collapse the pocket create problems that cannot always be measured through sacks. Quarterbacks are forced to move, running backs must alter their paths and offensive lines frequently commit additional help to his side.
Philadelphia's investment is based on the belief that those stretches can become the norm.
Record contracts invite record expectations. Carter will be evaluated against the NFL's elite defensive tackles rather than other young players at his position. Quiet stretches will receive more attention, while availability, conditioning, and discipline will become increasingly important factors in his performance. The extension also gives Carter an opportunity to **** ume a larger leadership role. Jordan Davis has received his own long-term deal, but Carter's contract makes him the financial centerpiece of Philadelphia's defense. Younger linemen will follow his example, and the organization will expect his preparation to match his talent.
None of that should be viewed as unfair. Carter earned the leverage that produced a historic agreement. The Eagles responded by making one of the largest commitments in franchise history.

The attorney for Duane "Keefe D" Davis, the man charged with the first-degree murder of Tupac Shakur, is speaking out ahead of the start of his trial.
In an interview with The U.S. Sun published Tuesday, July 28, Mike Sanft said there "should never have been charges" against Davis in the first place, adding that his client's past comments about his alleged involvement in Shakur's murder were not necessarily truthful.
"It's exercising your First Amendment right to free speech," Sanft said. "Is it in good taste? Probably not. But once again, it's exercising in his right to free speech."
Davis previously recalled in his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend the night Shakur was shot.
According to Sanft, authorities "should have rolled their eyes at Keefe and been like, 'Dude, seriously, why'd you even write that book? That's dumb.' Ultimately, when you really look into the book itself and the details of it it's not necessarily criminal."

The Philadelphia Eagles have long expected defensive tackle Jalen Carter to perform as one of the NFL's elite defenders. Now, they're paying him at that level.
On Tuesday, July 28, Carter and the Eagles agreed to a four-year, $152 million extension, according to multiple reports. The agreement includes $106 million guaranteed, per reports.
The deal shatters the record for average annual value for a defensive tackle contract, which Jeffery Simmons set in June with his three-year, $105.8 million extension with the Tennessee ***** ans.
Carter is the second linchpin of the Eagles' line to sign a sizable extension this offseason after fellow defensive tackle Jordan Davis in March agreed to a three-year, $78 million pact.
Carter, 25, had two years remaining on his rookie deal after the Eagles in April exercised his fifth-year option.

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.

What does life look like for the New Orleans Saints without Demario Davis? The veteran linebacker ****** erted himself as one of the best players at his position, aging like fine wine into the 2020s. He's the headlining member of our All-NFC South Team of the 2020s at linebacker, but he isn't alone. At the same time Davis was taking point for the Saints, Lavonte David was doing the same with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now both teams must move on without their longtime leaders. Here's a look at both of them and other linebackers in the division who might take up their mantle.
One key stat we're relying on is Approximate Value from Pro Football Reference, which PFR defines as "an attempt to put a single number on the seasonal value of a player at any position from any year." In practice, that means giving higher numbers to player who start more games, play more snaps, and do more to help their team win by racking up yards, scoring touchdowns, creating turnovers and sacking quarterbacks, and so on. We're also ****** igning point values to being named a first-team All-Pro (ten points), second-team All-Pro (five points), and Pro Bowler (three points). And then we're adding those numbers together. Remember, these are all-decade teams for the NFC South, which didn't exist until 2002, and only contributions on the four teams in the division factor into our formula. So Drew Brees earning a Pro Bowl nod with the San Diego Chargers in 2005 doesn't help him, for example.
Team: New Orleans Saints (2020 to 20205)
AV: 76
Awards: All-Pro second team (4), Pro Bowler (2)

Liverpool's search for attacking reinforcements continues to dominate the transfer conversation, yet not every reported target has generated universal excitement. During the latest Media Matters podcast for Anfield Index, host Dave Davis was joined by Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele, with much of the discussion centred on Liverpool's pursuit of attacking options and whether Chelsea winger Pedro Neto represents the right fit.
While Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool's priority, the conversation also examined reports linking the Reds with Chelsea's Portugal international. Steele's verdict was measured and refreshingly direct.
Dave Davis referenced reports from Steele's Daily Mail colleague Kieran Gill, noting that Liverpool and Manchester City had both been credited with interest in Chelsea forward Pedro Neto. Davis pointed out that Chelsea "wouldn't allow the winger to leave cheap", especially in a market where the values attached to players such as Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande have continued to rise.
Steele confirmed the rumours have been circulating for some time.
"He is one of these names that keeps coming round and round."

Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola continues to gather momentum, with fresh developments suggesting the Paris Saint Germain forward has become the club's leading attacking target.
During the latest Media Matters podcast on Anfield Index, host Dave Davis was joined by Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele to discuss Liverpool's summer recruitment. While several attacking names were mentioned, the conversation repeatedly returned to Barcola and the belief that negotiations are beginning to move into a significant phase.
Steele's insight painted a picture of a transfer that still has obstacles to overcome, but one that Liverpool are working hard to make happen.
Dave Davis opened the discussion by highlighting the latest reports surrounding the PSG winger, noting that Barcola had informed the French champions he would not sign a new contract.
He also referenced Fabrizio Romano's update that the player is "very open and keen on Liverpool", while stressing that any breakthrough would still require patience.

He also referenced Fabrizio Romano's update that the player is "very open and keen on Liverpool", while stressing that any breakthrough would still require patience.

Sha'Carri Richardson is once again a national champion.
Richardson won the women's 100 at the 2026 USA Track and Field Championships on Friday, July 24.
Richardson crossed the finish line with a time of 10.77 to win. Her time equaled a season best. Kayla White ran a 10.90 to place second and Tamari Davis posted an 11.00 to take third.
Running out of lane five, Richardson got a decent start. She pulled even with the field around 40 meters, surged passed the other sprinters and crossed the finish line with a comfortable victory.
"It feels phenomenal to be back in a better place. Healthy, physically, mentally and emotionally," Richardson told NBC Sports after the race. "It shows that hard work pays off."

Welcome back! The Brewers are following today's regular game with what they're calling an Alumni Legends Game, a very fun concept after the success of last season's Alumni Home Run Derby. Stick around after the game to see franchise legends like Ryan Braun, Geoff Jenkins, Jeff Bianchi, and Brad Boxberger!
In all seriousness, this should be a great time as we see some of our favorite Brewers from the 21st century, including a few who we don't often see in Milwaukee. Personally, I'm jazzed to see Richie **** son, Bill Hall, Dan Kolb, and Doug Davis. Full rosters below.
If you're looking for today's game recap, find that here.

The MLB Trade Deadline is less than two weeks away, and while the Los Angeles Dodgers look like the team to beat, they could still add some players to the mix.
The Dodgers don't have dire needs; in fact, they arguably are the most complete team in baseball, from top to bottom, especially when it comes to veteran talent.
They spend and spend big in free agency with the purpose of contending without needing to rely on the trade deadline to make a game-changing move.
However, especially when it comes to moves on the margins, the Dodgers do not shy away from striking a deal or upgrading on the margins.

Buffalo Bills training camp begins next week… what a fantastic sentence to write after the prolonged time spent away from football. For the Bills there are many different questions heading into camp that fans are waiting to see the answers.
One of the areas to look at is what to expect from the rookie class. It’s not crazy to say this class could be the most productive class in their rookie year that Brandon Beane has had since the 2018 class that, of course, was headlined by Josh Allen.
There’s second-round pick T.J. Parker… could he give quarterbacks problems all season and come close to double digit sacks? We do know Parker has been training this offseason with veteran Bradley Chubb who signed with the Bills in free agency. Not a bad mentor to have as a rookie.
Cornerback Davison Igbinosun was the pick after Parker and again is a question mark in this draft class that could provide a huge impact. He’s a talented cornerback that could even push Maxwell Hairston for a starting spot. We also know that the injury bug has been known to affect Buffalo’s secondary year after year so it is likely that Igbinosun will play meaningful snaps at some point in the season.
In the fourth round the team was able to draft receiver Skyler Bell who is considered by some to be one of the best receivers in the draft and provides a fun blend of speed, quickness, and tenacity at the catch point. Bell has a reasonable path to being in the rotation at receiver. Keon Coleman certainly did not impress last season while Josh Palmer dealt with injuries the second half of the year. The only locks receiver are DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir.

During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I've never been shy about delving into the team's history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having one spot per day on the schedule to open the ol' books and tell a story.
Whether it's remembering championship teams, Top 100 players, or notable free agent signings, there's always something out there to explore. For the past three years, we've celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1998-2000 Yankees dynasty by doing a diary on all their regular season and playoff activity. The final pages were written this past October, so it's time for a new daily project.
With that in mind, we'll ring in the new year by beginning the Yankees Birthdays series. Every day in 2026, we'll have a new Yankees figure to discuss whose birthday happened to fall on that day. Some days will feature far more famous stars than others! But that just adds to the challenge and our interest in the exercise. As a spoiler for today, that's exactly what you'll see soon for January 1st.
Happy new year and happy 365 days of Yankees birthdays!

FARMINGTON — Most caddies are credited by top amateur and professional golfers for helping them select the right clubs and read greens, but for 20-year-old Ashley Lam on Thursday at Oakridge Country Club, it was a little piece of advice her 22-year-old brother Sean Lam gave her that just might have meant the difference between winning and losing the 36-hole championship match of the 120th Utah Women's Amateur.
Four times heavy underdog Ashley Lam took the lead over six-time champion Kelsey Chugg, 35, on a buzzard-hot day in Davis County, but each time Chugg came roaring back, including from a three-hole deficit on the 32th, 34th and 35th holes to square the match heading into the 36th hole, No. 18 at Oakridge.
So how was Lam able to keep her composure after losing the big lead in a four-hole stretch?
"It was just my brother telling me to lock in and just stop being a little baby," she said, then added that she wouldn't take that kind of tough love from anybody but him. Sean Lam played golf briefly for Glendale College in Arizona and now works for Callaway.
"It was a really great experience, just because he's been with me all throughout, just my whole childhood playing golf with him," an emotional Ashley Lam said after her big brother playfully roughed her up a bit to congratulate her on the 18th green before the traditional trophy ceremony took place.

LeBron James could be "slow-playing his decision" to announce his new team, according to NBA ****** yst Kevin O'Connor on Wednesday. O'Connor wrote that the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar could be waiting to see if the teams interested in signing him could get Kyrie Irving or Anthony Davis.
On Thursday, NBA insider Shams Charania gave his latest intel on the four-time MVP after rumors ramped up that he is looking to team up with either one of his former teammates.
James was reportedly ready to make a decision early last week about where he would play next. Just as anticipation went to a fever pitch, the 41-year-old told fans at the Fanatics Fest in New York that he wasn't ready yet to commit to a new team.
By prolonging the inevitable, some are speculating that James could still be waiting for interested teams to make a major trade to entice him to sign.
Charania, on the "Pat McAfee Show," told the host what he has gathered about those rumors.

The fight game is an unforgiving one.
Per MMA Junkie on Thursday, PFL DC will no longer feature Thad Jean(10-0) vs. ShamilMusaev (18-1-1) in the main attraction. For currentlyundisclosed reasons, Musaev has been forced to withdraw from hiswelterweight championship affair headlining the card at theCareFirst Arena in the U.S. Capitol. In the Russian's stead will beErnestoRodriguez (11-1), who first postedof his change in opponent and vastly elevated stakes on Wednesdaynight—he was expecting to battle AaronMcKenzie—and then fully confirmedthe news shortly after its announcement. Jean did as well shortlythereafter on his InstagramStories.
This is one of numerous cancelations on fight week and earlier, asathletes MagomedUmalatov, JackCartwright, DenisGoltsov, BrunoCappelozza and MandoGutierrez were all booked for this fight card at one time. Dueto a number of largely undeclared reasons—Cappelozza encounteredissues with his visa—all of those combatants and their scheduledpairings have either been canceled or switched around on this cardor to another. For instance, Cappelozza vs. hasbeen **** ped to PFL Charlotte in August. The current PFL DC lineup sees eightmatches remaining, although the promotion has not indicated if anylate-notice fights will be slotted on the billing.
Jean was vying to become the first U.S.-born PFL champion atop thisevent—not including those that won tournaments—and he will stillreceive that honor. "Silverback" comes into this five-rounder withample momentum on his side as the winner of the final PFL tourneyin 2025. There, he knocked out MukhamedBerkhamov, outworked JasonJackson and outperformed LoganStorley in the span of four months to claim a $500,000 checkand chance for PFL gold.
"Starboy" Rodriguez seizes this opportunity having won his PFLdebut in March. Against MasayukiKikuiri, he snagged a majority decision despite dropping whatmany observers felt was a 10-8 third round, completing a bout inwhich all three Sherdog official scorers turned in 28-28 drawtallies. The fighter born in Cuba worked his way up the Tuff-N-Uffladder from 2022 to 2025, culminating in six wins with the LasVegas-based league to reach a major organization.

The Cleveland Browns will be without starting defensive tackle Maliek Collins at the start of training camp with rookies reporting to Berea today.
The veteran defensive tackle suffered a season-ending quad injury in Week 13 a year ago. This injury required surgery as the defensive starter was in the midst of a strong individual season that could have landed him in the Pro Bowl. Prior to his injury, Collins had racked up a career-high 6.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss through just 11 full games.
He is still recovering from that injury and will start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Anticipating a massive year-two jump from 2025 NFL Draft fifth overall pick, Mason Graham, he is expected to once again headline the defensive tackle room under first-year defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg. Former second rounder Mike Hall Jr. also enters a make-or-break season with the Browns after a disappointing sophomore season.
Free agent addition Kalia Davis, undrafted standout from last year Adin Huntington, and long-time practice squad player Sam Kamara round out the defensive tackle room at the start of training camp.
