It's been a disappointing couple of years for shareholders of biotechnology outfit CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP). This stock's barely up since the end of 2022, lagging the broad market's gains. It's not the performance that investors keeping tabs on this company were expecting, given its potential.
Don't be discouraged, though. While still speculative like most young biotech names, CRISPR Therapeutics remains a compelling prospect for investors who can stomach the risk and its inevitable volatility. Here's why.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 15x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our **** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
On the off-chance you're reading this and aren't already familiar with the company, CRISPR Therapeutics is a drug developer that specializes in gene editing.
It's probably an area you've heard a great deal about. No gene-editing drugs were actually on the market in the United States until CRISPR Therapeutics' Casgevy was approved by the FDA as a treatment for sickle cell disease in late 2023. Any and all gene therapies currently on the market followed this pioneer's foray. Being first is a well-deserved accolade for the company, too, which was co-founded by Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier, who was one of the co-discoverers of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing mechanism that makes Casgevy work.

Ahead of the release of Zach Cregger's reboot today, there were already seven Resident Evil movies — six of them in a more action-oriented series starring Milla Jovovich, four of which were directed by her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, plus an unrelated "reboot" in 2021 called Welcome to Raccoon City that went for more of a John Carpenter vibe and was an attempt to truly "adapt" the games. There's also a Netflix TV show version that ran for a single season in 2022. Countless other works in the horror genre have unofficially cribbed from the Resident Evil games over the years. It's an incredibly influential series.
And yet, Zach Cregger, hot off his Oscar-winning original horror film Weapons, is the first filmmaker to truly feel like he's adapting the experience of playing the games, arguably the scariest survival-horror ones ever made, rather than simply incorporating story and plot elements to explain the outbreak of infected people. In Cregger's hands, Resident Evil is pure crowd-pleasing popcorn cinema, best experienced in a packed movie theater with dozens of other people reacting loudly to the madness.
The premise couldn't be simpler — and the runtime a brisk 90ish minutes — as we follow a medical courier named Bryan (Austin Abrams, proving himself to be the Bruce Campbell for a new generation) who unwittingly finds himself fighting for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in a swirl of chaos. Fans of the video games will recognize various easter eggs and nods to game mechanics, including the importance of conserving ammo and checking every last drawer for more of it.
But you don't need to be familiar with the games at all to enjoy the movie, which is an efficient horror set-piece machine that just keeps putting Abrams in increasingly concerning situations. I can't stress enough how much this is a one-man show anchored by Abrams, and he crushes it. He's in every scene, earning tons of laughs simply by reacting as a normal person would in this situation; he's a true audience-surrogate character, ushering us through the chaos. His comedic timing, paired with Cregger's ****** ured camerawork and editing, is a match made in genre-movie heaven.
I didn't expect it to be so heavily inspired by genre classics like The Thing and Evil Dead. In fact, it's a better Evil Dead movie than the last several movies with "Evil Dead" in the ****** le, nailing the horror-comedy tone that only Sam Raimi and a few others can pull off with aplomb. Cregger has a ton of fun with the various monstrous forms that the infected take here, from fusing multiple humans together to crafting his own horror take on a big, scary guy like Dune's Baron Harkonnen. Resident Evil movies have thus far treated the zombies as pretty traditional movie zombies; Cregger's version gets at the attempt to create the next stage of human evolution.

SailPoint Inc. (NASDAQ:SAIL), a leading player within the enterprise identity security ****** e, recently expanded its strategic alliance with CrowdStrike. As part of the revised arrangement, the company's SailPoint SecOps Identity Intelligence will be integrated with CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. This will help in expediting threat detection procedures, and will also incorporate access data and identity governance into the overall investigation process. The expanded partnership will facilitate security teams in lining up the identity insights with Falcon's existing security telemetry.

The announcement aligns strongly with SailPoint's broader strategic narrative revealed in its Q2 FY27 print. It builds upon several recent initiatives undertaken by the management, such as introduction of the SailPoint Identity Security solution. This is aimed toward integrating SailPoint Agentic Fabric with SailPoint Human Fabric for real-time discovery and security of complex digital ecosystems. The company also launched its Cursor Enterprise connector, which helps organizations to leverage a highly-integrated control plane to manage human developers and autonomous AI agents.
The recently released financials also back this narrative as the company delivered a 25% year-over-year growth in its annual recurring revenue, which stood at $1.231 billion. SailPoint generated $45 million in operating cash flow during the second quarter, along with $37 million in free cash flow.
By weaving SailPoint's identity intelligence into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, customers gain extra context inside workflows they already rely on, making it easier to probe identity-related risks. The integration augments SailPoint's position at a time when identity threats are on a rise. This leads to an opportunity for SailPoint to cement itself as a leading provider of advanced security solutions.

OpenAI acquired Glass Imaging, a startup developing AI-powered smartphone camera technology, in a deal valued at over $300 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. The purchase price represents a significant jump from the roughly $100 million valuation Glass Imaging carried in a funding round last year.
Glass Imaging was founded in 2019 by Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, two former Apple engineers who worked on the company's Portrait Mode feature. The Los Altos, California-based company had raised about $30 million from investors including GV, Alphabet's venture arm, and Insight Partners before the acquisition.
Glass Imaging's approach differs from conventional AI photo editing: instead of processing images after the fact, the company teaches neural networks the specific optical properties of each camera system so that picture quality is improved as the shot is taken, according to The Wall Street Journal. The company's goal is to produce image quality comparable to a DSLR camera from a smartphone. Its zoom-imaging technology was featured in a line of phones from Chinese smartphone brand Honor.
OpenAI's plans for Glass Imaging are unclear. The company is also developing a device with Jony Ive, the former Apple designer behind the iPhone. OpenAI brought on Ive in 2025 through its $6.5 billion purchase of io Products, and his responsibilities span hardware development alongside broader efforts to define how AI products will look and function.
A spokesperson for OpenAI had not provided a statement by the time of publication, according to TechCrunch. The company has made several other acquisitions recently, including an internet talk show called TBPN and an open-source developer tools startup, according to The Wall Street Journal. OpenAI is also preparing for an initial public offering expected next year.

Taylor Swift has only been a wife for two months, but she already has to make a huge decision between her husband, Travis Kelce, and her career.
The "I Knew It, I Knew You" singer was nominated for the 78th Emmy Awards, which will be held tonight. The nominations were for her Disney+ show, "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour | The Final Show," which was based on her record-breaking Eras Tour. The film was nominated for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), as well as directing, picture editing, sound mixing, and technical direction and camera work.

Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift's Controversial Dog Name Finally Confirmed
Swift has only been nominated for an Emmy once before, back in 2015, when she won outstanding creative achievement in interactive media for "AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience." It makes sense that she may want to attend the awards ceremony; however, tonight is also a big deal for her husband, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. It's his first game of the season and a home game, as the Chiefs go up against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium.

DUBAI, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways said on Monday that its passenger-carrying capacity is running above year-earlier levels as Gulf carriers rebound from disruption caused by the Iran war, with strong demand expected heading into the winter travel season, its chief executive told Reuters.
"We are back on track," CEO Antonoaldo Neves said in an interview, noting that current Available Seat Kilometres - the industry's standard measure of passenger-carrying capacity - was currently 15 to 17% higher than a year ago.
"Flights are full, full, full," he said, adding that load factor, which measures how well an airline is filling available seats, was at 92% in August while the airline is targeting an 87% plus load factor for the remainder of the year.
The Iran war affected travel earlier this year, pushing fuel prices higher and disrupting flights in the Middle East and beyond. Middle Eastern carriers, some of the world's biggest, have seen their networks upended by the conflict, but have gradually resumed their activity.

When Dua Lipa stepped out for Bulgari's Serpenti Infinito celebration in New York, her shimmering camisole top turned heads for its delicate straps and eye-catching embellishment. Following this highly anticipated appearance, designer Clio Peppiatt revealed exactly where that top came from, and it isn't even on shelves yet.
Dua Lipa's Bulgari event top is an unreleased piece from Clio Peppiatt's Cruise 27 collection. Peppiatt shared the reveal on her own Instagram, confirming Lipa wore a piece from the label's upcoming Cruise 27 collection. The striking ivory and gold camisole featured dense sequin and bead embellishment arranged in a soft floral pattern. The top was held up by the thinnest metallic spaghetti straps for an elegant look. The fitted, corset-style shape hugged Lipa's torso closely, with the embellishment catching the light with every step down the street.
Peppiatt captioned the reveal "a little glimpse of what's to come," crediting photographer Lorenzo Posocco for the images. In a follow-up post, she teased that the piece belongs to an "unreleased Cruise collection launching next month." This brief announcement gave excited fans an early look at the label's next drop ahead of its official release.
Lipa paired the sparkling top with tailored black wide-leg trousers for a sleek silhouette. This choice allowed the embellished camisole to remain the clear focal point of her entire outfit. She finished the look with a Bulgari Serpenti bracelet in 18-karat rose gold, a diamond and ruby choker, and matching stud earrings, all fitting given her role as a Bulgari ambassador.
Fans reacted quickly to Peppiatt's reveal, flooding the comments with fire emojis and calling the look "iconic." The designer is well known for creating hand-embellished and statement-making fashion pieces. She has increasingly become a red carpet favorite among pop stars seeking genuine texture and shine.

Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress" could fetch $300,000 at auction.
The iconic Christina Stambolian dress will be sold this December during Sotheby's Luxury Week with an estimate of $150,000–$300,000.
The dress will be offered at auction for the first time since June 1997, when the late princess sold 79 of her dresses at auction to raise funds to benefit cancer and AIDS charities.
A rare copy of the original catalog, numbered and signed by the princess and the designer of the dress, crediting Prince William with the idea of the sale will be sold with the dress. Part of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to NHS Lothian Charity on behalf of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.

Western Michigan has every reason to believe it was cheated out of one of the biggest wins in program history, a season-opening upset over No. 16 Michigan. The Broncos appeared to have the game wrapped up, with time expiring on a failed Hail Mary attempt by the Wolverines in a game that favored WMU 12-7.
Then, the referees inexplicably added an extra second to the clock, and that was all the time needed to turn a massive upset into a massive heartbreak after Michigan's second Hail Mary attempt succeeded.
And yet, WMU head coach Lance Taylor was a lot more composed than most after the game. In fact, he took the high road, crediting the officiating crew for the game they called and saying he'll leave it to the MAC commissioner to figure out what happened with the clock.
Taylor also saw the disappointing finish as a learning moment for his team. "I think that's a good lesson for our defense. We can't just box out the back of the end zone. We've got to make sure that we cover them up at the front pylon as well."
This article originally appeared on For The Win: What did WMU coach Lance Taylor say about clock controversy in Hail Mary loss to Michigan?

The Ripple dollar-pegged stablecoin RLUSD has surpassed a $2Bn market capitalization, with more than $1Bn of that supply issued on the XRP Ledger, according to Jack McDonald, Ripple's senior vice president responsible for stablecoins.
The milestone arrived less than two years after RLUSD's launch, McDonald said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, first reported by blockchain outlet The Crypto Basic.
This is not simply a supply-growth headline. It is Ripple's clearest signal yet that RLUSD is meant to function as dollar-based settlement infrastructure across tokenized finance, payments, and lending, rather than as a token confined to exchange order books.
McDonald's disclosure stated that RLUSD issued on the XRP Ledger alone has exceeded $1Bn, a figure distinct from the token's total market capitalization across all networks.
The primary reporting places this announcement in early September, with The Crypto Basic's account crediting the milestone to McDonald's own attestation post rather than to a third-party data aggregator.

Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Jean-Mattéo Bahoya is set to join Leeds United after the Premier League side moved decisively for the 21-year-old on deadline day. Sky Germany, Sport Bild and The Athletic all report that Leeds entered concrete negotiations with Frankfurt on Tuesday. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano subsequently reports that an agreement has been reached on a loan deal containing a mandatory €30m purchase clause.
The development comes just two days after another proposed move to England collapsed. Get German Football News reported on Sunday that Bahoya had personally rejected a transfer to Hull City despite Frankfurt and the newly-promoted Premier League side having already reached a verbal agreement at club level.
Frankfurt nevertheless remained prepared to negotiate a late departure for the France U21 international. Bahoya joined Eintracht from Angers SCO for approximately €8m in January 2024 and remains under contract through 2029. The winger has since made 78 competitive appearances for the RheinMain club, registering 15 scorer points.
A €30m permanent transfer would consequently leave Frankfurt with a significant profit on a player currently valued at €25m by Transfermarkt.
Bahoya required some time to establish himself after arriving from Angers, but gradually developed into one of Frankfurt's more intriguing young attacking players. The Frenchman spoke about overcoming his difficult initial adjustment to life in Germany last October, crediting Eintracht's French-speaking contingent with helping him settle both on and off the pitch.

Aug 28 (Reuters) - BioNTech SE said on Friday it has decided to terminate the mid-stage trial of its experimental mRNA-based cancer vaccine for patients with a type of colorectal cancer, sending the German firm's U.S.-listed shares down nearly 9%.
An independent data safety monitoring board, responsible for overseeing the safety and integrity of the trial, recommended discontinuing treatment of patients and terminating the study.
The immunotherapy, autogene cevumeran, is being jointly developed by BioNTech and Roche's Genentech. The trial was evaluating it as an adjuvant monotherapy in patients with high-risk stage II or stage III colorectal cancer whose tumors had been surgically removed but who remained ctDNA-positive.
In its most recent review of the available data of this trial, the board identified a numerical imbalance in overall survival between treatment arms in this specific patient population and noted that further trial continuation was unlikely to change the efficacy outcome.

Being in the midst of a sports reality show really isn't what you'd expect it to be. But then again, "Welcome to Wrexham" isn't like any other sports reality show, so I shouldn't be too surprised by how things turned out.
I ***** umed it would be an experience marked by intrusive camera crews recording our mundanity, which a melodramatic editing process would twist until everybody on the show was an embarrassing meme. Instead, it must be said that the camera crews are positively lovely, accepted within both the club and the town as friends, not an unfortunate necessity.
Rather than create shock value, the show is remarkably good at selecting people and themes. It reflects what I experience, both as a fan of the club and a resident of Wrexham. To illustrate this, consider the one moment in all five seasons which I felt was inauthentic. It came early on, when Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds' representative, Humphrey Ker, endured a disastrous introduction to the players and manager, Dean Keates.
• Wrexham targeting 'quality not quantity' as team boss addresses calls for attacking transfers
• Wrexham bid farewell to back-to-back promotion hero following record-breaking signing

MOSCOW, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Tuesday that remarks by Finnish President Alexander Stubb approving of Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory showed that he, along with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, belonged to the "party of war."
Stubb has backed Ukraine's long-range strikes deep inside Russia, saying that such attacks, including on civilian logistics centres, increase the cost of Moscow's war effort and could help bring it to the negotiating table.
Asked about Stubb's comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said they had come as a surprise and showed that the Finnish leader, like Britain's Burnham, wanted the war in Ukraine to continue.
Peskov also accused Stubb and other Western leaders of misleading their own voters by claiming that it was possible for Russia to be strategically defeated.

Hall of Fame defensive back and Colorado coach Deion Sanders has had plenty of recent distractions arising from court dockets.
This week, a Nebraska lawsuit regarding his "Prime" logo came to light — nearly 19 months after it was filed.
The first word of it surfaced on Tony Farmer's Twitter page. He posted the original complaint. Unless it was all one ***** of a coincidence, others started reporting on the case — without crediting Farmer for finding it.
One of those outlets is The Athletic, which possibly has taken an "eff that guy" approach to Farmer given his relentless focus on the Dianna Russini situation. A new article posted by Matt Moret explains that Deion was questioned under oath in late July in the claim filed by Alan Tipp, who contends that he designed the "Prime" logo in 2011 and was never fully and fairly compensated for it. Tipp also alleges that Sanders and other defendants fraudulently induced Tipp to relinquish any rights to his work with false promises.
In a court declaration filed on Friday, Sanders claims he used the logos before he was working with Tipp.

PARIS, Aug 21 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will co-chair a meeting of the so-called Coalition of the Willing group of pro-Ukrainian countries on Monday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will be at the meeting in Kyiv, which will be attended both in person and remotely, Macron's office said on Friday, without specifying who will be there in person. The Ukrainian capital has come under heavy bombardment recently, and Zelenskiy has pleaded with his allies to do more to help his country.
European Council President Antonio Costa will attend the meeting in person and NATO Deputy Secretary General Radmila Shekerinska will participate remotely, NATO and the EU said in separate statements.
"The leaders will reiterate their determination to strengthen their support for Ukraine so that it can defend itself against Russian aggression," Macron's office said in a statement.

BEIJING, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Tesla will roll out software fixes for millions of vehicles in China, the country's market regulator said on Monday, marking the automaker's largest-ever recall in the market.
Effective September 25, Tesla will recall 2.98 million China-made and imported Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X vehicles because emergency door release handles may be difficult to identify, potentially hindering escape or rescue after a severe crash and electrical system failure. The remedy includes warning labels and an over-the-air (OTA) update that lowers windows after a collision.
Separately, Tesla is immediately recalling 2.74 million China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles for an OTA software update to enhance driver-attention monitoring while ******* isted steering and other driver-assistance functions are engaged, reducing the risk of collisions if drivers fail to respond promptly.

AB de Villiers believes Virat Kohli took India's batting success in overseas Test cricket to another level, while crediting Sachin Tendulkar for first showing that Indian batters could thrive in conditions traditionally considered difficult for players from the subcontinent.
The former South Africa batter and Kohli's ex-Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammate was speaking after India's 165-run victory over Sri Lanka in Galle on Wednesday.
De Villiers acknowledged Tendulkar's pioneering role but argued that Kohli went a step further in establishing himself as an outstanding overseas Test batter.
"I think of someone like Sachin Tendulkar way back, who started that trend for India. Yet, he wasn't as strong as someone like Virat Kohli, who was even better. But Sachin was the first guy to show that as a subcontinent batter, you can do well in bouncy and seaming conditions. Virat took that forward and raised the bar," said de Villiers on his YouTube channel.
Tendulkar remains the highest run-scorer in Test cricket, having accumulated 15,921 runs in 200 matches before retiring in 2013. Kohli, who retired from Test cricket in May 2025, ended his career with 9,230 runs in 123 Tests, placing him 19th on the all-time list.
The statistics, however, suggest Tendulkar still holds the edge when it comes to performances away from home. Of his 15,921 Test runs, 8,705 came outside India, accounting for around 55% of his total. He is also the leading run-scorer among batters in overseas Test cricket.
Kohli scored 4,774 runs in 66 Tests outside India.
The comparison remains in Tendulkar's favour even when the focus is restricted to SENA countries: South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia. Tendulkar amassed 5,387 runs in 63 Tests in those countries at an average of 51.30, including 17 centuries and 23 fifties.
Kohli, meanwhile, scored 3,661 runs in 46 Tests in SENA conditions at an average of 42.08, with 12 centuries and 14 fifties.
De Villiers' ******* sment therefore appears to focus less on the raw numbers and more on Kohli's wider influence on Indian Test cricket. During Kohli's tenure, India established itself as a formidable side overseas, setting higher expectations for performances outside home conditions.
According to de Villiers, that influence has carried into the current generation, with batters such as KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal following the path laid by Tendulkar and Kohli.
"Because of that, there are quite a few players now like [KL] Rahul and [Devdutt] Padikkal, who have started to up that trend and follow in the footsteps of a Virat and a Sachin," he added.
De Villiers did, however, identify overseas batting as an area where Rahul needs to improve. Despite praising the Karnataka batter's technique and importance to the Indian side, he pointed out that Rahul averages only 34 away from home.
"KL is a guy with a sound technique and is a big ******* et in that Indian lineup. But he averages only 34 away f

Tracy McGrady defends Jaylen Brown from the irrational hate he keeps receiving originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
In the 2025-26 season, the Boston Celtics were without Jayson Tatum for the majority of the season. Most people know him as the team's superstar, so his injury made Jaylen Brown have to step up and prove he belongs in the same category as his running mate.
He did just that, as he had a wonderful campaign in the 2025-26 season. Brown proved he belonged as a star player, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 **** ists per game as the Celtics' number one option amid Tatum's absence.
Now that Brown is on the Philadelphia 76ers, he is on the same team as superstars like LeBron James and Joel Embiid. There will be some sacrifices made along the way for all the 76ers players, so an MVP might be out of the question for every individual there.
That is a bit disappointing for anyone who admired Brown's stardom in the 2025-26 season. However, he will likely settle for his role in a potential **** le challenger like the 76ers. Despite that wonderful campaign, there were still a lot of people discrediting Brown.

A Russian court on Monday convicted a prominent opposition politician for speaking out against the war in Ukraine and sentenced him to 11 years and one month in prison in the latest crackdown leading up to next month's parliamentary election.
The verdict against Lev Shlosberg, a senior member of the Yabloko party, was another step by the Kremlin to stifle dissent since Russia invaded its neighbor in February 2022. Yabloko is the only official political party overtly opposing the war.
Shlosberg, 63, is Yabloko's deputy chairman and served in the regional legislature of Pskov from 2016-21. He stood trial in the city of Pskov, some 600 kilometers (370 miles) northwest of Moscow, on charges of "discrediting" and spreading "false information" about the Russian military.
The charges stemmed from a debate in which he called for ending the war and from posting on his Telegram channel a British tabloid front page featuring an image of a bloodied woman next to one of Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the headline: "Her blood ... his hands." Shlosberg has rejected the charges as unfounded.
It was the second trial for Shlosberg in the last two years. He has also been designated a "foreign agent," a label that carries strong pejorative connotations in Russia and brings additional government scrutiny. He was convicted of violating the foreign agent regulations.

Netflix has moved to dismiss Tyra Banks' defamation suit targeting the streamer and its America's Next Top Model docuseries.
According to PEOPLE, Netflix, which released Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model in February, filed a motion to dismiss the suit on Friday, Aug. 14, citing that Banks' accusations are "about ordinary editorial decisions."
"After the interview, [Banks] signed an agreement granting the filmmakers the right to edit her interview footage, acknowledging she had 'no right to review or approve' the finished documentary, and releasing claims arising from it — including for defamation and false light," Netflix's motion reads.
"She now alleges the documentary…defames her — not because it says anything false about her, but because she wanted advance notice of what another interviewee would say, more of her interview included, and her perspective presented differently," the motion continued.
In June, Banks filed a defamation and "false light" lawsuit against Netflix and the directors of the docuseries. In her complaint, Banks claims that despite sitting for a three-and-a-half-hour interview to candidly reflect on the iconic reality show's complex legacy, producers utilized just 16 minutes of her footage through "surgical manipulation" and selective editing.

Jesse Minter notched his first win as the Baltimore Ravens' head coach on Saturday night, taking down the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 24-7.
"It was a great experience," Minter said after the game. "I want to give a ton of credit to our coaching staff."
Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle led his unit to 440 yards and 31 first downs, dominating with long drives throughout the game and putting up lopsided time-of-possession and play-count numbers. On the other side of the ball, Minter and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver oversaw a near-shutout; the Eagles' only points came with 2:24 left in the game after averaging just 4.0 yards per play and going 0-for-9 on third down.
Special teams was the Ravens' shakiest area with second-year kicker Tyler Loop missing an early 49-yard field goal and rookie punter Ryan Eckley shanking his first pro attempt for just 31 yards. Both bounced back later in the game, but their performance did little to quell questions about the team's specialists.
Minter also gave a "major shout-out" to undrafted rookie quarterback Joe ****** nano, who completed 22 of his 28 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Minter even downplayed the turnover, saying that he "liked the throw that he made" and crediting Eagles cornerback Kelee Ringo for making a great play.

The relationship between a quarterback and center is one of the most important connections in football, and for the Chicago Bears, there is even more emphasis on that relationship going into the 2026 season.
Last year, the Bears had veteran Drew Dalman who played a big role in the offense's success, but he opted for retirement this offseason, which led the team to trading for veteran Garrett Bradbury to take his place. Bradbury's spot in the starting lineup was up for conversation when the team drafted Logan Jones in the second round of this year's draft, but it appears in training camp that the veteran has the upper hand.
This week, quarterback Caleb Williams spoke about his relationship with Bradbury, crediting the veteran center for growth between them even though they faced some early adversity.
"The first couple days we were rolling … and then we had a couple off days where communication may have been a little off, or cadence or things like that," Williams said. "These past couple days we've gotten better with it and being more conscious of some of those small mistakes that show up and that happen. And so we have gotten better. And then, yeah, that's my guy."
Given the offense that head coach Ben Johnson runs, there is no relationship more important than the one Williams will have with his center, which appears to be the veteran in the lead through the early stages of training camp. Time will tell if Bradbury keeps the job for the entire season, as he is currently playing on a one-year deal and has a rookie champing at the bit behind him.

Aug 10 (Reuters) - Charl Schwartzel found an unusual hazard in the final round at LIV Golf Bedminster on Sunday when a fish appeared to swallow his ball after it rolled into the water beside the seventh green.
The South African's tee shot at the 134-yard, par-three hole rolled off the putting surface and settled in the pond, where TV footage showed the ball being ******* ed from beneath the water.
"Have you ever seen anything like this?" LIV Golf wrote in a social media post accompanying video of the incident.
The former Masters champion had to take a one-stroke penalty and settled for a bogey on the hole. He finished two-over par at the tournament, which was won by Chilean Joaquin Niemann.

Aug 10 (Reuters) - Tata Consultancy Services has received alerts alleging the possible exposure of certain employee-related data, India's largest IT firm said on Monday, adding that there was no indication that customer data or systems have been impacted.
The information referenced in the alerts appears to be over-four-year old and limited to basic employee information, TCS said in a statement, without offering further details including who has issued the alerts and when.
TCS said it has had safeguards in place for over two years against the manner in which this attack was carried out. Its own operational systems have not been impacted, the IT firm said.
"Based on the current review, these controls remain effective, and the Company continues to monitor the environment closely," it said.
