For the prestigious awards event, Nicole selected a breathtaking cream-colored column gown straight from Chanel. The sophisticated dress features an off-the-shoulder silhouette with a dramatic plunging V-neckline. Soft, white feather-like appliqués line the entire neckline and shoulders, adding rich texture and movement to the structured bodice. A tight, sculpted waist hugging her figure gives way to a sleek ankle-length skirt with a sharp thigh-high side slit that reveals her legs as she moves.
She contrasted the light cream gown with classic black pointed-toe pumps that grounded the soft color palette. Nicole accessorized her high-fashion look with statement diamond jewelry that caught the studio lighting. As captured in a viral studio video shared on an Instagram post, she showed off multiple large diamond rings across her fingers along with matching drop earrings. A slim black watch on her left wrist added a touch of modern sophistication.

A Southern California high school has suspended its varsity football team, and will forfeit its next matchup, for unsportsmanlike actions in a heated rivalry game that also saw the school's mascot flipping off the opposing crowd.
Victor Valley High School defeated Apple Valley 20-7 on Friday in the 56th edition of the annual rivalry game known as the Bell Game. The winning side not only gets bragging rights but also possession of the rivalry trophy, a large bell that is currently painted green to match the school's colors. However, Victor Valley's celebrations, and the antics of their jackrabbit mascot, crossed a line, according to district officials. Victor Valley Union High School District Superintendent Carl Coles and Victor Valley Principal Darius Robinson released joint a statement announcing the team would be suspended as a result.
"There is a clear line between passionate competition and unacceptable conduct," the statement read. "That line was crossed at the Bell Game on Friday, September 11. Members of the Victor Valley High School football team behaved in an unsportsmanlike manner toward the opposing team and its fans, including offensive gestures and language."
With the suspension, Victor Valley will forfeit its upcoming game against Brea Olinda.
While the district's letter did not specify the actions and gestures made that warranted this punishment - the letter also didn't identify offending players - videos circulating on social media seem to provide some insight into what led to the decision. For one thing, the Jackrabbits mascot gave the middle finger to the Sun Devil crowd early on in the game as it walked down the track surrounding the field on Apple Valley's side of the stadium.

NEW YORK — Forget the Honey Deuces and the celebrities-in-the-audience shots. The finest element of the U.S. Open — the Grand Slam held in the largest tennis stadium in the world — will always be the tennis itself. The trick, in 2026 and beyond, is how to get audiences to actually care about, you know, that tennis.
Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev did their very best on Sunday, bringing both narrative and firepower to the four-set men's final. Yes, the influencers were posing at every aisle on every changeover, and more than a few fans appeared unclear on the basic concept of "sit your ******* down while the point is going on." But when Shelton and Zverev locked in, unleashing serves that nearly hit 150 mph or lashing shots that skipped a fingernail's width in bounds, the crowd was right there with them, rising and falling, a living thing that pulsed with energy unlike any other stadium in tennis.
Less than 24 hours earlier on the same court, Elena Rybakina finished off Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set triumph of resolve and willpower over emotion and firepower. Sabalenka, who had won the previous two Opens, entered as the crowd favorite. But the fans in the stands at Arthur Ashe love hard-fought on-court battles as much as they love the endless scroll of celebrity cameos on the video boards. So after a couple dozen Hollywood and music stars took their turns to varying volumes of applause, the crowd focused in on the match. Sabalenka drew motivational cheers, and then, once the result was clear, Rybakina inspired celebratory ones.
The two matches ended this year's U.S. Open on a triumphant note. At last, the tennis tournament centered on actual tennis, not ticket prices or runway-style entrances to Arthur Ashe Stadium or hundred-dollar chicken nuggets. (Yes, I admit it, I was part of the problem with that last one.)
The influencers' presence dominated the early coverage of the U.S. Open, in large part because they did their job of drawing attention to themselves. But by the time the tournament reached its final crescendo, the influencers had moved on. Two hours before the men's final, the cheapest tickets to get in the stadium could be had for less than $400, suggesting that tennis for tennis' sake isn't the primary motivator for many attending the U.S. Open.

Texas football news: Robert Griffin III says Longhorns let Arch Manning down appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Texas Longhorns took on the Ohio State Buckeyes Saturday night in a star-studded affair that saw Kevin Durant testing his quarterback skills and Matthew McConaughey narrating an exciting hype video. Texas QB Arch Manning took the field in a matchup against budding rival Julian Sayin but had a rough first half as Ohio State seized a 23-3 lead headed into the fourth quarter.
Manning threw an interception that fans couldn't believe, as he lofted a well-placed pass that was bobbled, dropped, and picked off. With just 60 yards at halftime, Manning's performance was heavily scrutinized, while former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Pro Bowler pointed the finger at his Longhorns teammates.
"Texas' WRs are letting Arch Manning down," Griffin III said matter-of-factly as the game continued to progress.

New York Fashion Week occurs twice a year; once in February and once in September.
Each year brings a star-studded front row, with celebrities donning sky-high platform shoes, towering headdresses, and more out-there looks.
InStyle gathered 10 of the wildest and most memorable celebrity appearances, below.
Every year, twice a year, New York Fashion Week is a feast for all of the senses. You find yourself craning your neck left and right at whiplash speed just to take in all of the sumptuous looks sauntering down the runway, ID'ing the supermodels, and hoping for a glimpse of the star-studded front row. If you're really lucky, you may find yourself backstage, where you have a chance to inhale the hairspray that holds the looks together and swatch the lipsticks that define them; or you may find yourself in a showroom, tentatively running your fingers across a hand-embroidered beaded gown. And you can't forget the afterparties, where you'll more than likely be treated to a caviar-encrusted chicken nugget and a bespoke designer **** tail.
It shouldn't be surprising, then, that it's difficult to stand out in such a flurry of beauty and creativity. But a handful of celebrities have managed to leave an indelible mark on NYFW history. Teyana Taylor and Julia Fox consistently arrive in some of the most head-turning looks in the crowd, while Lil Nas X's pink feathered headdress extended high into the heavens (and back into the second row) at Christian Cowan in 2013. Famous kids also snag coveted front row seats—North West made her NYFW debut at the tender age of two.

The deafening roar of Kroger Field that fueled a 17-13 halftime lead eventually gave way to a much heavier, quieter reality. When the final whistle blew on a 45-17 loss to Alabama, the scoreboard reflected a fractured dream of an upset, leaving players and fans alike processing the sting of what could have been yet again.
For Will Stein, the immediate aftermath wasn't about pointing fingers; it was about raw accountability and a profound gratitude for a fanbase that delivered a championship-level atmosphere.
The fans showed up in full force, selling out Kroger Field for Will Stein's SEC debut, creating an environment that Stein described as "unbelievable," "loud," and "energetic." Recognizing the massive emotional investment of the crowd, he didn't mince words. "I apologize to our fans for the way that we finished," he admitted, fully aware of the collective heartbreak echoing through the stands and the locker room. "I know our guys are hurting."
That hurt can't carry on too long; the SEC is an unforgiving league, and the 2nd-half performance against Alabama can't bleed over to next week.
The first half offered a vivid glimpse into the program's potential that Will Stein spoke on before the season started. The defense hunted the ball, securing three takeaways, while the offense capitalized to carry a lead into the locker room. But the second half brought stalled drives and exhausted defenders. Pinned back by short fields, the defense was asked to hold back the Tide a few too many times. "When you're defending a short field virtually the entire half, and we weren't converting on third downs, that was tough on our defense," Stein noted, acknowledging the brutal physical toll.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs reinstated right-hander Edward Cabrera from the 15-day injured list before Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and placed righty Trent Thornton on the 15-day IL with a left ankle sprain.
Cabrera went on the injured list on Aug. 17 with a right middle finger blister — a condition that has vexed him — then made three rehab appearances with Triple-A Iowa.
The 28-year-old Cabrera, acquired from Miami in an offseason trade, is 5-5 with a 5.68 ERA in 76 innings over 15 games, all starts. Manager Craig Counsell said before Saturday's game against Pittsburgh that Cabrera would switch to the bullpen for now.
This was Cabrera's third stint on the IL this season and followed one for a left hamstring/adductor strain suffered on June 23 in New York. The righty was hurt against the Mets when he went into the splits while stretching for a throw as he covered first base, an injury that sidelined Cabrera for nearly two months.
Thornton is 5-5 with three saves and 3.35 ERA in 48 1/3 innings over 48 relief appearances.

We are coming down to the end of this thing. The Orioles still have a remote possibility of doing something fun, a decent possibility of doing something moderately interesting, and also a decent possibility of the wheels just coming off the wagon, like you tried to ford that shallow river in Oregon Trail and all that happened is you got stuck in the muddy water so you lost who knows how many days of travel while you tried to fix things, and winter is coming and you're running out of food, and the next person who plays the game is going to find your tombstone.
Sorry, where was I? There are 15 games left in the 2026 Orioles season. They probably need to go 12-3 over those 15 games. Maybe, if they're lucky, they can get away with 11-4. Which is to say that they have fewer than one hand's fingers worth of games that they can lose for the remainder of the season. Six of those games will be played against the Blue Jays, starting with this three-game series that begins tonight.
That's part of what gives the Orioles some slim hope, because that gives them the opportunity to pull back games directly against one of the three teams that they need to pass to get into the last AL wild card spot. If they are able to go 4-2 against Toronto, they take back the two games deficit to the Jays and they get the head-to-head tiebreaker. That might not be good enough; there's still the Guardians and Rangers to consider. Maybe they need 5-1, in which case, if they lose tonight, they're really screwed and needing to run the table here.
It's improbable! It's not impossible. All they have to do is play as good as they have played for short amounts of this season, and then do that for two and a half weeks instead of doing it for three games before taking a trip back to Stinkville.

The Fantasy Premier League season is entering week four and plenty of managers will be getting itching fingers, with so many chips at our disposal.
Is it time to play a Free Hit or a Wildcard?
BBC Sport FPL expert Holly Shand looks at some of the biggest dilemmas facing FPL managers heading into gameweek four.
Chelsea striker Joao Pedro (£7.7m) is the most-owned player in the game, in 72.5% of sides. Given that Chelsea have scored eight goals already this season, and face promoted Hull City at home next, it feels like the right time to be moving towards a double up on their ****** ets.
Cole Palmer (£9.6m) and Morgan Rogers (£7.6m) came on as half-time substitutes in the Carabao Cup against Leeds United on Wednesday, with Palmer scoring a double including a penalty, and Rogers chalking up three ****** ists.

STILLWATER — Last Saturday, Seth Storey walked into the Stillwater Raising Cane's and ordered a 25-finger tailgate platter. It costs $41.99 and feeds 6-8 people, but Storey wasn't sharing.
At 9:02 p.m., Storey sat down at a booth with an aluminum pan full of chicken and couldn't leave the restaurant for 24 hours. For every tender he ate, one hour came off his clock.
The first 30 minutes went OK as Storey powered through 12 tenders. At the 15 tender mark, his consumption started to slow down. He gagged attempting to swallow tender 18 and nearly threw up. The bathroom would ultimately call three times — once to throw up.
Even the tasty Raising Cane's sauce didn't make things better.
"It didn't help with the flavor and it just kind of tasted like nothing," Storey said. "Like definitely toward the end, I was just sick of the taste."

Yellowstone star Kelsey Asbille is set to marry her longtime love, filmmaker Miles Joris-Peyrafitte.
The couple got engaged during a romantic trip to Sicily and shared the happy news with family and close friends, according to a Thursday, September 10 report by Us Weekly.
Joris-Peyrafitte dropped a none-too-subtle hint on September 2, posting a series of photos to Instagram captioned "Big Year." The last shot in the carousel shows a beaming Asbille, 35, holding a stack of papers — with a serious diamond ring sparkling on her left ring finger.

Of all the chatter surrounding FC Cincinnati's 5-0 drubbing at the hands of the surging Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night, the most illuminating quote came in the buildup to the match, when manager Pat Noonan was asked to take a stab at explaining his team's poor away form this season.
"I didn't realize, record-wise, how poor it was, because there's been games where I think we've been good, and maybe the results don't go our way," Noonan said. "But there's a lot of things this year that feel like they're out of the norm. One of them is our inability to have success on the road. I can't put a finger on it."
It was a strikingly honest moment from the fifth-year Cincy manager, one that suggested more pressing concerns than the variance-related issue of whether more wins came home or away.
And it foreshadowed one of the more troubling performances by the club since Noonan and sporting director Chris Albright took over the once-flailing outfit ahead of the 2022 season.
The lopsided result left Cincinnati with a 1W-6L-5D away record, but could be forgiven in isolation. Cincinnati played the hefty majority of the match a man down following Obinna Nwobodo's 16th-minute dismissal. And Philadelphia's high-pressing game model is exactly the kind that can exploit a man advantage once it gets a lead and forces its opponent to emerge from a low block.

PALOS DE LA FRONTERA, Spain (AP) — Matthew Brennan enhanced his status as the standout sprinter at the Spanish Vuelta by winning his fourth stage Tuesday in the 21-year-old British rider's Grand Tour debut.
Brennan was delivered to the front of the bunch with 100 meters left by an ideal leadout from Wout van Aert, his star teammate at Visma-Lease a Bike who already won two stages at this Vuelta.
Crossing the line, Brennan raised his right hand with four fingers out in a victory salute. Bryan Coquard was second and Vito Braet third. Van Aert was sixth at the end of a 181-kilometer (112.5 miles) ride in more blazing heat from Cortegana to Palos de la Frontera.
After 16 stages, overall leader Enric Mas retained his advantage in the red jersey of 2 minutes, 6 seconds ahead of Felix Gall. Primož Roglič is a further 4 second back in third.
Wednesday's stage is another flat ride into Seville before a 32.5-km (20.2-mile) time trial Thursday that could be key for Roglič.

Any sports lover would know "trash talk" is pretty much part of the game. In fact, some believe one has to master the art so as to add intensity and rivalry to the game. As Team USA continues its 2026 FIBA World Cup campaign in Berlin, Germany, they have already found their "trash-talking queen" in the squad.
Fans are already loving the fun little content they get to watch every day while Team USA tries to defend their ***** le at the FIBA World Cup. These moments show a very different camaraderie among the players than what fans are used to seeing when these same players represent their respective WNBA sides.
While filming fun media content for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, Team USA was asked who the "biggest trash talker" on their squad is. Unironically, many fingers pointed to one individual: Angel Reese.
Reese was overwhelmingly voted number one by her teammates for her constant in-game chatter, including Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, Aliyah Boston, and Paige Bueckers.
If fans can recall, Reese made headlines after the 2023 NCAA Championship game when she taunted Clark by pointing to her ring finger as the LSU Tigers closed in on the championship. Reese, who rarely stays silent on court, has made a reputation for trash-talking her rivals.

I come to you in peace.
You'll find zero negative vibes here today — and I have little interest in sparking any kind of intra-fanbase beef or even a mild-mannered debate for that matter.
There'll be no fingers being pointed, blame apportioned, guilt being tripped and absolutely no pontificating whatsoever. My soap box is well and truly collecting dust in the garage, where it shall remain.
To paraphrase Julia Roberts in the otherwise underwhelming romantic comedy Notting Hill…
I am just a man, standing in front of a fanbase, asking them to buy a ticket for tonight's Carabao Cup game against Hull City. How will I present my case? In the form of a list, of course. Everybody loves a list, don't they?

In a short video, the Grammy-winning R&B songstress can be seen hanging four crisp white t-shirts onto a clothesline outside, before adding a tiny baby onesie onto the end of the rope. Beaming, she turns to the camera and holds up five fingers.
The star looked effortlessly chic in a white tank top and pair of low hanging jeans, her baby **** p on display.
Messages of congratulations quickly poured in for the family. Singer Kehlani, actress La La Anthony and Vanessa Bryant were among the well-wishers.

The San Francisco 49ers waived tight end Brayden Willis Saturday to make room for long snapper Jon Weeks on the active roster.
Per the NFL's transaction wire, Willis went unclaimed. Willis showed positional versatility during the preseason, but he was also a 7th-rounder from '23 with as many regular-season receptions since then as you and I.
That means the team can bring him back to the practice squad and potentially elevate him to the active roster for this upcoming week against the Rams. He's expected to practice with the team after re-joining the practice squad, as he did not leave Australia, per Matt Maiocco.
Willis's best chance to contribute offensively is at fullback. During this past preseason, he lined up at fullback 15 times. Kyle Juszczyk recently returned to practice after breaking his finger. If Juszczyk can't perform his usual duties or gets hurt again, Willis is his logical backup — ***** uming the team would have him on the active roster so he can play special teams.
Juszczyk is entering the final year of his two-year contract. He's 35. It makes you wonder if the 49ers want to keep Willis around to take over for Juszczyk if this ends up being Juice's final year as a Niner. In my opinion, Willis offers more out of the backfield than as a tight end. That was likely part of the reason he was waived.

Andrew Symonds once produced one of the rarest scoring feats in Test cricket, collecting eight runs from a single delivery during Australia's Test against New Zealand at the Gabba in Brisbane in 2008-09.

The bizarre sequence involved an all-run four followed by four overthrows, with New Zealand fast bowler Iain O'Brien at the centre of the drama. There was an added twist to the incident, as O'Brien had seen Symonds dropped off the previous delivery before eventually dismissing him just two ****** later.
Australia were 124 for four in the 46th over after Ricky Ponting had decided to bat in Brisbane.

O'Brien opened the over with a bouncer, which Symonds ducked under. The bowler went short again with his next delivery, and this time Symonds pulled the ball towards mid-wicket.

However, Aaron Redmond put down the chance.

O'Brien responded as fast bowlers often do after a missed opportunity, sending down another short delivery. This time, the ball was outside off-stump and Symonds attacked it ferociously with a pull.

The enormous Gabba outfield slowed the ball down, but Symonds and Michael Clarke had already completed three runs by the time Redmond got to it.

The pair then decided to push for another run, hoping to take advantage of the throw.

That decision produced chaos.

New Zealand wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum moved across to collect the return. He gathered the ball, turned and threw it towards the stumps, only to discover that Symonds had already made his ground.

There was another problem for New Zealand. ****** ody was positioned behind the wicketkeeper to stop the throw.

The ball therefore continued all the way to the boundary. Symonds had effectively turned a pull shot into an extraordinary eight-run haul.

Umpire Rudi Koertzen then signalled the total by raising eight fingers, meaning eight runs were added to Australia's score and Symonds' tally.

It was two more than the figure commonly described as the maximum possible from a single delivery and even one more than the total India received in a penalty-run incident against Bangladesh at Chattogram.
Symonds' eight-run delivery was only the fourth known instance of eight runs being scored from a single ball in Test cricket at that point.

The first recorded example came in Melbourne during the 1928-29 series, which was also the final Test of Don Bradman's first series.

England's Patsy Hendren scored eight after completing four runs and then benefiting from four overthrows off Australian debutant Percy Hornibrook.

Another unusual eight-run delivery occurred in Melbourne during the 1980-81 season.

New Zealand's John Wright was the beneficiary on that occasion. He ran four before four overthrows followed after Rod Marsh collected the fielder's return and threw the ball towards the stumps. The throw escaped and Wright picked up the additional runs off Lenny Pascoe's delivery.

The other known instance before Symonds came in Port-of-Spain during the

On August 18, Himax Technologies (NASDAQ:HIMX) said its WiseEye palm vein biometric technology now powers the WAFERLOCK L322, a smart lock built by Taiwan-based WAFERLOCK Corporation that just went on sale. Instead of scanning a fingerprint or a face, the lock reads the vein pattern under a user's palm, a method Himax says still works when hands are wet, dirty, or full of groceries. The announcement lands less than two weeks after Himax posted a second quarter that beat its own guidance on revenue, margin, and profit, giving the palm vein rollout a stronger financial backdrop than it might otherwise have had.
The WAFERLOCK deal shows what Himax has been building toward with WiseEye, an ultralow-power AI platform that pairs an image sensor and processor to capture, match, and verify a palm vein image directly on the device, without sending anything to the cloud. That matters for a smart lock, where sending biometric data offsite would be a hard sell to homeowners. The L322 pairs palm vein recognition with RFID cards, PIN codes, mechanical keys, and compatibility with EasyCard, iPASS, and MIFARE, so the biometric layer sits on top of access methods people already use.
Himax said the underlying palm vein modules earned TÜV Rheinland verification during the quarter, validating their recognition accuracy, response speed, and liveness detection, and that the technology also complies with GDPR, one of the world's strictest privacy standards. Design-in activity is already spreading beyond locks into workforce management, computer monitors, and smart office equipment.
Automotive remains the larger story sitting underneath it. Automotive display drivers, timing controllers, and touch controllers made up well over half of Himax's revenue in the quarter ended June 30, and the company expects full-year 2026 automotive IC sales to grow by double digits from a year earlier as automakers pack more, larger, and higher-resolution screens into vehicle interiors.
Alongside that base, Himax pointed to two newer bets: a leading global brand launched smart glasses powered by WiseEye during the quarter, and the company's co-packaged optics products entered engineering production ramps in the third quarter, with 2027 shipments expected to significantly exceed 2026. Neither business moves the revenue needle yet, but together they give Himax more than one lever to pull.

Como fought back from a debut Milutin Osmajic goal to crush Genoa 4-1, including an **** ane Diao brace, Martin Baturina and Nico Paz, with Moise Kean providing an **** ist.
The Lariani were fresh from a 2-1 victory away to Napoli, plus deadline day signings Moise Kean and Robert Sanchez on the bench waiting for their debuts. Only Jayden Addai remained on the treatment table. Genoa were in crisis after losing to both Napoli and Lazio without scoring a goal, as Lorenzo Venturino, Joi Nuredini, Hamed Traore and Elias Havel were still out of action, but Djibril Sow and Milutin Osmajic got their first starts.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Mattéo Guendouzi and Mason Greenwood have been charged by UEFA over alleged provocations of Lyon fans at a Champions League qualifying playoff, their club Fenerbahce said Thursday.
Both players have played for Lyon's French rival Marseille and were seen making offensive gestures last week. Fenerbahce won 2-1 in the second leg at Lyon to advance to the Champions League main phase for the first time in 18 years.
Guendouzi raised his middle finger to Lyon fans during the warmup and after the game and shouted "Allez l'OM" ("Go Marseille"), also grabbing his crotch, in wild post-match scenes. He said Lyon fans insulted his family before and during the game.
It was unclear if UEFA's disciplinary judges will sanction the players before Fenerbahce opens the Champions League main phase next Thursday, hosting Roma. Fenerbahce's second game is at Aston Villa on Oct. 14.
Fenerbahce did not specify the charges against Guendouzi and Greenwood though it said it will "protect the rights and interests" of them and the club.

Former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel is at Burning Man for the first time, and she's taking her followers along for the ride.
As expected, Frankel, 55, did not pack light for her inaugural Burning Man experience and has been showing off the outfits she has planned for the week-long desert gathering. "The fits are fitting, and I'm excited," she captioned a video of herself packing for the event.
She followed up that video with a look at her Day 1 outfit, which is a white and silver outfit with a matching mini skirt, bikini top, fur-lined vest, fingerless gloves, oversized sunglasses, and a cowboy hat.
Frankel also packed several white catsuits, an ankle-length white coat for the chilly evenings, and plenty of revealing party looks.
Along with showing off her fashion choices, Frankel also gave fans a look at the RV she will be staying in and explained why she decided to go to Burning Man in the first place.

HOUSTON (AP) — Nelson Velázquez hit a two-run single in the eighth inning to break a scoreless tie, Hayden Wesneski and two relievers combined on a three-hitter and the Houston Astros defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-0 on Wednesday night.
With one out in the eighth, Yordan Alvarez singled and Isaac Paredes walked before Jose Altuve was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Pinch-runner Nick Allen was thrown out at home trying to score on a grounder by Daulton Varsho back to Sean Newcomb (2-4) before Velázquez laced his single into left-center field.
Wesneski allowed one hit with five strikeouts over seven shutout innings. He has allowed one run and five hits over his last three starts, a span of 17 innings. A.J. Blubaugh (5-2) gave up two hits in the eighth before Josh Hader pitched the ninth for his 22nd save.
Wesneski retired 14 of the last 15 batters he faced, including 12 straight between a one-out walk to Sam Antonacci in the third and a one-out walk to Braden Montgomery in the seventh.
Davis Martin scattered five hits with three strikeouts over 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his first start since Aug. 13. Martin, who had been on the 15-day injured list with a right middle finger blister, was activated before the game.

After weeks of uncertainty, a decision has been made: San Francisco 49ers stars George Kittle and Nick Bosa will board the team's Wednesday flight to Melbourne, Australia, for the Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
That does not necessarily mean both players are locks to play Sept. 10. Kittle is in the late stages of his recovery from a torn Achilles suffered in January; he took part in San Francisco's final three practices ahead of the team's departure. Bosa is dealing with the lingering effects of a second ACL tear in his right knee; he participated in drills during the open portion of Wednesday's practice for the first time since Aug. 3, sporting a black sleeve on his right knee.
Even if Bosa and Kittle aren't yet guaranteed to take the field at Melbourne Cricket Ground, these developments signal there's a strong chance they will. It seems unlikely the 49ers would send either player to Melbourne without - at the very least - intending for them to suit up against the Rams.
Asked Monday if the decision to play or sit Kittle had to be made by Wednesday's flight, head coach Kyle Shanahan said, "It'd be much nicer to make that decision before we go instead of having him go through all that." But he noted that Kittle spending 10 days away from the medical staff and out of team meetings is a "big deal," even if he isn't going to play.
Other players who returned to practice Wednesday: wide receiver Mike Evans (adductor), fullback Kyle Juszczyk (finger) and defensive back Ephesians Prysock (shoulder). Evans, who worked off to the side Tuesday, appears to be on track to play in Week 1.

It almost seems like scoring in a friendly against BVB helps you end up signing with BVB. Crazy coincidence, isn't it?"I was definitely happy about the goal. But now I'm glad to be here. It feels great."
What was it like to make the move on the very last day of the transfer window?"It's definitely hectic. A lot goes on behind the scenes. But you just have to keep your eyes on the goal. And keep your fingers crossed. We pulled it off. And now I'm here."
Exactly. It worked out in the end."Right. As soon as I heard about BVB's interest and we had a meeting, everything moved very quickly. Within just a few hours, there were advanced talks going on behind the scenes. So, as soon as I found out they were interested, I was ready to make the move."
Did you have any contact with your U21 national team teammate Jobe Bellingham?"I've spoken with Jobe over the last few days. He asked, 'What's going on with you?' And I told him I couldn't say for sure yet either. But we talked a lot. And he kept saying the whole time that I should come to BVB. I'm glad we'll be playing side by side now."
You're only 19 years old and have just come off a stint in France. Do you find it hard or easy to go abroad?"I think it's much easier now. The first time, you're really leaving your comfort zone. It's just uncharted territory. But now I'm more relaxed, more open, and mentally better prepared. I know what to expect by now."

Jake Reiner has married Maria Gilfillan, reaching a milestone he had already written about with painful clarity months before the wedding became public.
Reiner and Gilfillan tied the knot in a small ceremony in early August, PEOPLE confirmed on Aug. 31 after TMZ first reported the marriage. The couple has not publicly disclosed the exact date, location, guest list or other details from the ceremony.
There had been one visible clue before the news broke. During Reiner's Aug. 27 sit-down interview with ABC7 Los Angeles, he appeared to be wearing a gold band on his left ring finger. The interview focused on his life since the deaths of his parents.
The wedding carries a direct connection to something Reiner wrote on April 24 while reflecting on the future he had expected to share with Rob and Michele Reiner. "My parents won't be at my wedding," he wrote, before later naming Maria as the person he believed was right for him and expressing gratitude that she had known and loved both of them.
TMZ, citing sources with direct knowledge, reported that Reiner and Gilfillan married in a small ceremony at the beginning of August. Beyond that, the details remain private.

Peyton Watson is widely regarded as one of the most promising young wings in the NBA. Although this year's offseason was marked by prolonged contract talks and the inevitable drama that follows, Watson now finds himself in a new environment after being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
While joining the Cavs could be a phenomenal opportunity for Peyton Watson, it is worth acknowledging his time spent with the Denver Nuggets. Having established himself as an elite two-way player over the 2025-26 season, Watson's credibility as a versatile defender undoubtedly boosted his overall stock.
Because of his ability to guard multiple positions, Peyton Watson has often faced some of the league's best offensive players. Thus, when asked who he considered the toughest player to guard on a recent episode of the "Curious Mike" podcast with Michael Porter Jr., Watson had to give a shout-out to one of the league's most creative scorers.
"Definitely, Kyrie Irving is on top of that list," Watson stated. "Bro, because you can literally just play perfect defense and he's just a basketball savant. He's got the most sophisticated and most refined game that I feel like I've ever seen."
"That's one of those guys that you look at and say, and I use this all the time, but the best of the best, bro, their talent is in their fingertips," Watson continued. "It's like he touches that ball, and he's just like a painter with an open canvas, and they're just out there playing like it's art, and Kyrie's one of those guys. Super tough to guard."

Three-time major champion Stan Wawrinka felt the love at the US Open after being given an emotional send-off following the final Grand Slam match of his career.
The 41-year-old Swiss is retiring at the end of the season and looked close to tears as he received a rapturous reception after a straight-set defeat by Italy's Matteo Berrettini.
Wawrinka, who won the US Open in 2016, was initially overlooked by tournament organisers for a wildcard, but was given a last-minute reprieve following American recipient Patrick Kypson's withdrawal.
The belated decision can be considered well justified given the thousands who packed into the 8,000-capacity Grandstand court at Flushing Meadows.
Wawrinka made heart gestures with his fingers, and put his hand on his heart, at the end of an enjoyable contest to illustrate his appreciation.

NEW YORK — On the last changeover of the final Grand Slam tournament he will ever play, Stan Wawrinka sat in his chair, leaned all the way forward and fiddled with his wristbands.
Eventually, he unbowed his head and took a drink, toweled himself off and tried to jog some life into his legs as he waited for the applause to build.
Wawrinka's fans stuffed themselves into every inch of Grandstand court Monday at the US Open, hoping to see one more down-the-line winner roped off his majestic one-handed backhand, one more screaming fist pump, one more finger pointed to his temple after a huge point — the signature celebration from his brief time as the antidote to the dominance of tennis' Big Three.
Try as they might to will a Wawrinka comeback into existence, the "Let's go Stan" chants faded. Moments later, he walked to the net and embraced Matteo Berrettini, who had beaten him 7-6, 7-6, 6-0. Then he went to the middle of the court, clapped his hands and tapped his heart.
"I'm gonna miss it for sure," Wawrinka said, voice cracking. "I'm gonna miss it."
