Irish Premiership
Dungannon Swifts 0 - 1 Linfield FT
Linfield left it late at Stangmore Park but made it five league Irish Premiership wins on the bounce thanks to a Kyle McClean stunner.
McClean's strike from the edge of the box in the 82nd minute was enough to secure a 1-0 and all three points for the visitors.
Chris Johns made multiple saves in the first half to keep his side in the game, with Dungannon Swifts perhaps feeling hard done by on the night.

Penn State players have been named to award watch lists all summer long for being the best player at their position group or showing resiliency in returning from injury. But the latest Nittany Lion named to a watch list is being recognized for his work on and off the field.
Offensive lineman Cooper Cousins has been named to the Jason Witten Man of the Year award watch list, an honor that showcases a player who has displayed the best character and has shown commitment to community, family and teammates. Cousins isn't just one of the more promising offensive linemen in the nation — he's also one of the best people in the sport.
He's done nothing but great things in the community since coming to State College in 2024. Cousins struck up a friendship in his freshman year with a 10-year-old boy named Gannon Kupko Jr. who is dealing with a serious illness. He also spoke at the 2025 Game Day Gala, an event for children fighting difficult battles like Gannon, and the function raised more than $3 million.
Cousins is one of the most important players on the Nittany Lions, and he's also a pillar in the community. It will be a treat to watch him continue to work this season and make a lasting impact on the community.

PHOENIX – Despite finishing with a 4-13 record after the 2023 season, the Arizona Cardinals took a silver lining into the offseason, one that had the potential to set the foundation for a new era.
General manager Monti Ossenfort and then-head coach Jonathan Gannon had 11 draft picks to work with entering the 2024 NFL draft, and when all was said and done, the team came away with 12 total selections.
Two years later, that draft class is still trying to provide significant returns on the investment under first-year head coach Mike LaFleur.
Each member is also facing the scrutiny of being a third-year player, which is widely viewed as a make-or-break opportunity. Under the NFL collective bargaining agreement, decisions regarding fifth-year options for first-round picks, impending contract expiration for non-first-round picks and long-term contract extensions can not be made until after a player's third season.
Seven of the Cardinals' 2024 draft picks fell inside the first three rounds. Here is a breakdown of how each one has fared after two seasons, along with their status heading into the 2026 season, which begins Sunday in Los Angeles against the Chargers.

Vikings news: Kyler Murray gushes about Jonathan Gannon before Packers clash appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
With the Minnesota Vikings taking on the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL regular season, it will be a reunion of sorts for quarterback Kyler Murray and defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. As the Vikings' new quarterback in Murray looks to bring back an exciting feel to the franchise, and he would speak on facing his former head coach.
Murray spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Arizona Cardinals before signing to Minnesota in the offseason, as Gannon was the head coach of the team from 2023 to 2025. When Murray was asked on Thursday about what he expects in facing a Packers defense led by Gannon, he spoke from experience, also calling him "one of my favorite coaches I've ever had."
"What do I expect? Expect them to play super hard, be competitive," Murray said, via Ben Goessling. "You know, a lot more things, but nonetheless, you know, JG [Gannon], you know, loved my time with him, so I know how hard he's going to coach his guys and how hard he's going to have them playing. So that's something we got to be ready for."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kyler Murray became a superstar athlete as a kid growing up in Texas, won the Heisman Trophy with Oklahoma, was the first overall pick by Arizona in the NFL draft in 2019, and made the Pro Bowl after his second and third seasons in the league.
Since then, with a floundering Cardinals team and two major lower-body injuries contributing to the slide, Murray's career has veered off course. He can't hide it: His first game as quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon will be a big deal for him.
"Out of how many years I've played football, this has got to be right up there for most anticipated. I can't tell you how ready I am and excited to be on the field again," said Murray, who was sidelined last October by a foot injury and cut by the Cardinals in March.
The storyline gets even better: The Vikings host the division rival Green Bay Packers, and their new defensive coordinator is Jonathan Gannon, who was Murray's head coach in Arizona the last three years.
"He's in a really good offense with some elite players. Obviously I've got nothing but love and respect for 'K1,' Gannon said, using Murray's longtime nickname. "He's competitive. He's smart. He can make all the throws and beat you with his legs, so it's a big-time challenge."

One of the biggest changes you're going to notice about new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon's scheme is his Penny package, which is essentially a 3-4 defense on the line of scrimmage with one true off-ball linebacker, split safeties and another deeper safety in the middle of the field. Green Bay Packers fans are familiar with the 3-4 base defense, which was run by Dom Capers, Mike Pettine and Joe Barry in the past, along with the typical 4-2-4 Nickel defense that is played for the majority of snaps league-wide.
This Penny wrinkle, though, is a little different than what you're used to seeing from most NFL teams. That's why we wrote about what it means for the secondary in an article two weeks ago.
Today, though, I want to focus on the line of scrimmage, particularly with how Gannon is deploying "off-ball" linebacker Edgerrin Cooper.
Generally, when 3-4 defenses play Penny, they take their Will linebacker off the field to add a slot defender. The Packers, as a baseline, don't play a slot defender, but a third safety.
The other change-up Green Bay has is that they aren't taking their Will linebacker (Cooper) off the field, at least with the first-team defense. Because Cooper is one of the team's better defenders, Gannon has actually played Cooper on the edge, displacing the edge defender opposite Lukas Van Ness (generally Barryn Sorrell) this preseason.

Bournemouth boss Marco Rose will have to juggle his playing resources carefully when the Cherries embark upon their first season in Europe, starting at Real Sociedad on 17 September.
Uefa's deadline for clubs to submit squads for the league phase of the Europa League was midnight on Wednesday, with Europe's governing body revealing each club's squads on Thursday evening.
Because of the strict rules governing "club-trained" and "association-trained" players, the Cherries have only been able to register 21 first-team players in "List A" rather than 25.
And that has meant that several senior squad members - Julian Araujo, Ben Gannon-Doak, Fraser Forster, Juanlu Sanchez, Max Aarons, Daniel Jebbison and Veljko Milosavljevic - must sit out in Europe for now.
Eli Junior Kroupi and Amine Adli, currently sidelined with injury, are included so can feature in the league phase when fit.

Back in March, the Green Bay Packers got a little creative with addressing one of their more notable roster needs. With the 2026 NFL Draft looming and linebacker high on their priority list, Green Bay traded interior defensive lineman Colby Wooden to the Indianapolis Colts for linebacker Zaire Franklin.
The trade allowed the Packers to focus on other positional needs in the NFL Draft while also giving them a former Pro Bowl linebacker to pair with Edgerrin Cooper. Meanwhile, the Colts added a former fourth-round pick who had a career-high 50 tackles in 17 games played in 2025 (16 starts).
Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Colby Wooden (96) practices during the teams minicamp Thursday, June 11, 2026, at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center in Indianapolis.
In addition to giving Green Bay a Pro Bowl-caliber linebacker, the trade reunited Franklin with current Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who was with the Colts early in his career. Obviously, he made the initial 53-man roster and is projected to be a starter in Green Bay.
Wooden, on the other hand, was released by Indianapolis on Sunday. CBS Sports declared it one of the most surprising cuts of the day while declaring the Green Bay the winner of the trade before the season even begins:

The future of Arizona Cardinals linebacker Josh Sweat has been discussed a lot this offseason. Trade rumors came up this week with the Cardinals in Green Bay for a joint practice and their preseason finale, and it happened to be the week that Sweat finally came off the PUP list. There is a connection with Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who was the Cardinals' head coach when Sweat signed with them.
While rumors swirl, the message remains consistent from the team and from national outlets.
ESPN's Adam Schefter was on ESPN Milwaukee and said what has been said before.
"I try to deal in facts and realities, and all I can tell you is I know there have been teams that have reached out to them (the Cardinals), and I know they have been told they're not trading him. Now, could they change their stance down the line? Sure, but there have been teams that recently have reached out and they have told those teams, 'We are not trading him.'"
Sweat led the Cardinals with 12 sacks in 2025 and is really their only known pass-rushing threat.

Joint practices are now commonplace in NFL training camps, with 23 conducted this summer.
Only the Broncos, Lions, Chiefs, and Steelers did not have one, while the Jaguars, Saints and ***** ans have three. Another 12 teams had two.
However, there's a tad more spice for Wednesday's practice with the Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers, thanks to brothers Mike and Matt LaFleur being the head coaches and former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon now the Packers' defensive coordinator.
Coaches always communicate frequently with each other in advance to set the schedule and how the practice will be conducted.
That led to Matt LaFleur smiling and saying this week of his brother, "He's quick to criticize everything that I put on the schedule. So, he's like, 'Why are we doing this? Why are we doing that? We never do this.' And I was like, 'All right, Mike, you've got all the answers.' Nah, it's been healthy, it's been good. There's been give-and-take on both sides for sure."

We continue the countdown to the start of the Arizona Cardinals' regular season. Today, Thursday, August 20, is 24 days away from the Arizona Cardinals' regular-season opener on Sept. 13 on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers.
With 24 days until Week 1, let's look back at the 2024 season for the Cardinals.
The 2024 season was Jonathan Gannon's second as head coach. Quarterback Kyler Murray was playing his first full season after a torn ACL in 2022.
They started the season 6-4 and led the NFC West but then lost five of their final seven games after the bye week and finished 8-9 and in third place in the division. Eight of their nine losses came to teams that won at least 10 games.
They averaged 23.5 points per game and allowed 22.3.

Over a month before the regular season opener in Minneapolis, the Green Bay Packers know who will be under center and starting at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings come Week 1.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Vikings are naming former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray as the team's starter entering the 2026 season -- beating out 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy.
Another layer of intrigue: Murray, the first overall pick in the 2019 draft and a two-time Pro Bowler, played the last three seasons in Arizona under coach Jonathan Gannon, who is now the Packers defensive coordinator.
Released by the Cardinals, Murray signed a one-year deal with the Vikings, hoping a stop in Minneapolis can help revive his NFL career.
Murray, 29, has started two games in his career against the Packers, losing both. He was intercepted in the end zone by Rasul Douglas to end a 24-21 win for the Packers in 2021, and he led the Cardinals to only 13 points in a 21-point defeat at Lambeau Field in 2024. Murray did not play in Arizona's loss to the Packers last season.

Matt LaFlaur is setting a firm standard for commitment on Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers squad as they gear up for the 2026 NFL season.
LaFleur has been the Packers' head coach since 2019, preparing for his eighth year at the helm. He led the squad to six playoff appearances in seven attempts, the deepest being the NFC Championship Game in his first two seasons.
LaFleur hopes for better results in 2026, having suffered back-to-back exits from the NFC Wild Card Round. As the team goes through training camp this summer, the head coach had a clear demand for the starters on both sides of the ball ahead of their preseason contests.
"Anybody that's healthy better be ready to play," LaFleur said, per reporter Rob Demovsky.
Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon talks with head coach Matt LaFleur during practice on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026, at Ray Nitschke Field in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin.

With NFL training camps fully ramped up and the preseason on the horizon, there is no shortage of various quick-hit highlight videos popping up on social media. This certainly stands true for the Dallas Cowboys, and one specific training camp drill done by CeeDee Lamb quickly grabbed the attention of fans league-wide.
Wide receivers, in particular, have been known to follow specific routines in their daily preparation for the season. Some may have a set number of ***** they catch each day, while others utilize unique drills to help work on catching passes in coverage. But for Lamb, his drill included a large white net covering his entire face/helmet while catching passes, as Cowboys reporter Patrik Walker first revealed.
It was unquestionably a unique (and I'd go out on a limb and guess very rarely seen) approach to a pass-catching drill. It also sparked some questions and speculation about exactly why Lamb was using the net as part of his training.
While it hasn't been confirmed, the popular theory is that Lamb took this approach to address the sunlight issue that's been a topic of conversation in late-afternoon games at AT&T Stadium. That thought process makes sense, as the sun directly in players' eyes has caused a few notable issues in previous seasons.
In a bit of positive news for Cowboys fans who have been bothered by this, owner Jerry Jones told Sam Gannon of KDFW Fox 4 that he's giving "a thought" to tinting the windows, which would be a significant step toward addressing the sunlight issue during games.

The Green Bay Packers recently extended the contract of veteran linebacker and special teamer Isaiah McDuffie, per reporting from Over the Cap.
The extension is worth $4.85 million over one additional year, keeping McDuffie under contract in Green Bay through the 2027 season. His previous contract, a two-year deal, was set to expire following the 2026 season. His new extension includes a $1.5 million signing bonus and a $750,000 roster bonus due if he's on the roster on the third day of the new league year in 2027.
McDuffie's cap number increased to $4,725,000 in 2026, while his cap number in 2027 will be $5,100,000. The only fully guaranteed money in 2027 is the prorated $750,000 from his new signing bonus.
McDuffie may not be a projected starter in Jonathan Gannon's base 3-4 defense, but he's a quality backup and full-time special teamer. Considering newcomer Zaire Franklin is coming off a poor final season in Indianapolis and just turned 30 years old, McDuffie is a strong insurance plan for both 2026 and 2027.
The extension gives McDuffie a pay ******* p in 2026 while providing the Packers an additional year of contractual stability without massive guaranteed money at risk in 2027.

Lionel Gannon saw the ups and downs from inside the building.
Moanalua's 2026 campaign was lively, and even with solid success in preseason tournaments, there was no obvious reason to believe Na Menehune would shock the world.
The team grew stronger, turned errors into lessons and ended the OIA's state-championship drought. Gannon was more than the best player on the best team. He was unflappable, doing all the little things with excellence as Moanalua became the first non-ILH program to win a state ******* le since 1979.
The 6-foot-3 outside hitter's state-tournament numbers were efficient and crucial.
>> 19 kills (.424), 1.5 blocks, one ace and four digs in a three-set quarterfinal win over Hawaii Baptist

The Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator search began when Jeff Hafley, who coordinated the defense for two seasons, joined the Miami Dolphins as the head coach in January. At the time, sources reported the Packers had agreed to terms with Gannon on January 25, 2026, and the hire was officially announced on February 2nd, with LaFleur saying he was “thrilled” to add someone with Gannon’s experience as both a coordinator and a head coach.
LaFleur was intrigued by Gannon specifically because of the difficulty he’d had game-planning against his defenses when Green Bay faced the Eagles in 2022 and the Cardinals in 2024 and 2025 — the interview ran a day and a half, and the hiring was expedited. A source told ESPN that LaFleur “loved the fact that Gannon has sat in the head coach’s chair” — making him the fourth defensive coordinator of LaFleur’s eight seasons in Green Bay, following Mike Pettine, Joe Barry, and Hafley.
Over the following seven weeks, Green Bay completed a broader defensive overhaul: trading Rashan Gary to Dallas for a 2027 fourth-round pick on March 11th, signing Javon Hargrave to a two-year, $23M deal on March 13th, and finalizing the full coaching staff by March 19.
Jonathan Gannon comes over from a 3-year head coaching stint with the Arizona Cardinals, a job he took after coordinating the Eagles defense for two seasons, including one trip to the Super Bowl.
He had arrived in Philadelphia in 2021 as an unheralded defensive coordinator hire, a then 38-year-old who had spent his career as a defensive backs coach under Mike Zimmer in Minnesota and Matt Eberflus in Indianapolis. He had never called a defense at any level. What unfolded over his two seasons with the Eagles was a study in how scheme can be maximized by talent — and how devastating the absence of that talent can be.

Packers could trade key $8 million defender away before Week 1 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Green Bay Packers will have a new-look defense in 2026. Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon was brought in to be the new defensive coordinator and several changes were made on the roster as well.
Rashan Gary was traded to the Dallas Cowboys and Javon Hargrave and Zaire Franklin were added in free agency. Any time new talent is brought in, it takes away spots from previous contributors.
As a result, Bill Huber of Packers On SI recently identified three notable Packers who could be traded ahead of Week 1. One of the players Huber mentioned has started 29 games over the last two seasons, but the defensive scheme change could make him expendable.
Isaiah McDuffie came into the league as a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. It's safe to say McDuffie has exceeded expectations, as he's been a multi-year starter and has given the Packers some solid production.

There has been an unrepentant joy about much of Scotland's World Cup thus far, but the nation previously glad simply to be back on this stage will go to bed nursing a fresh grievance.
Twice in the second half in Foxborough, Steve Clarke's men were denied penalties that looked very strong claims. The Uzbek referee Ilgiz Tantashev and his VAR team saw no reason for further action for the contact in question – first with John McGinn and later Scott McTominay when it was all on the line for Scotland.
Both times it was the Roma midfielder Neil El Aynaoui who was in the frame. The son of the former Moroccan tennis pro Younes, he had a fine game but he certainly rode his luck. At the beginning of the first half El Aynaoui leaned across McGinn in the right channel of the Morocco area and sent the Scotland No 7 off balance. Later El Aynaoui would appear to catch the toe of McTominay – subtle but telling as the Scot slipped into the area.
For Scotland, whose evening had begun disastrously with a goal conceded on 70 seconds, these were crucial decisions. They go into their final game against Brazil on Wednesday in Miami with their knockout place in the balance. They have lost to the team ranked fifth in the world by Fifa, the African champions on a recount, which was the outcome that most expected. Yet Scotland will wonder if it could have been better for them.
They conceded so soon into the game to the PSV Eindhoven striker Ismael Saibari, who scored in the first game against Brazil – and it took some time for Scotland to find their feet. Generally, Morocco controlled possession with greater finesse. Scotland tended to give it back to them far too quickly. By the end Scotland had not managed a single attempt on the Morocco goal. Ben Gannon-Doak's second-half substitute's cameo had given them momentum.

Scotland's spirited second-half rally was not enough to bring any World Cup joy as they suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Morocco in Foxborough.
After beating Haiti in their Group C opener, Steve Clarke's side needed only a draw against the AFCON champions at the Boston Stadium to all-but guarantee a spot in the knockout stages.
However, Morocco showed why they are ranked sixth in the world, scoring through Ismael Saibari after 70 seconds – the earliest goal Scotland have conceded at a World Cup, on their return to the big stage after 28 years.
Clarke's side rolled with the punches in a mostly one-sided first half but the confidence and composure returned after the break and there were a couple of penalty claims denied. However, despite the impressive turnaround they could not get back on level terms.
Clarke switched up his side by bringing in Nathan Patterson, Kieran Tierney and Ryan Christie for Aaron Hickey, Ben Gannon-Doak and Lawrence Shankland, and moving to a 4-5-1 with Che Adams leading the line.
