The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for an Indianapolis Colts roster that underwent meaningful changes on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis retained Daniel Jones as its starting quarterback and added veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to a passing game featuring Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Tyler Warren. Allen gives Jones an experienced route runner who can create separation on third down and in the red zone. The Colts also reshaped portions of their offensive line. Tanor Bortolini is listed as the starting center, with Matt Goncalves at right guard and Jalen Travis at right tackle. Quenton Nelson and Bernhard Raimann provide continuity on the left side, but Baltimore can test the newer combinations with its rebuilt defensive front.
Indianapolis made its most significant defensive investment in the secondary. Sauce Gardner joins Charvarius Ward at cornerback, giving the Colts two accomplished players capable of challenging Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Baltimore's other receivers. Cam Bynum and rookie A.J. Haulcy are listed as the starting safeties.
Arden Key was added to a defensive line that already included DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart and Laiatu Latu. That group should present an immediate test for a Ravens offensive line breaking in new starters at center and right guard.
The Colts' roster is deeper and more experienced in several critical areas. Baltimore still has advantages with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, but Indianapolis possesses enough talent to make Jesse Minter's debut uncomfortable if the Ravens fail to establish control early.

The Buffalo Bills haven't played a game yet, but they aren't completely healthy heading into Week 1.
Wide receiver Khalil Shakir, linebacker Terrel Bernard and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson are among the players Buffalo will monitor before opening the regular season against the Houston Texans.
The Bills visit the Texans at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13 at Reliant Stadium.
Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane provided updates on several injured players Sept. 1, and the Bills will release their first official injury report of the season on Wednesday.
Houston already knows it will be without several players. Wide receiver Jayden Higgins is out for the season with a torn ACL, while wide receiver Tank Dell and offensive tackle Braden Smith will miss at least the first four games on injured reserve.

The Miami Heat were among the teams Ben Simmons was interested in joining before agreeing to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Sacramento Kings. But the Heat reportedly passed on signing him despite their current priority of adding point guard depth.
According to Ira Winderman, the veteran senior writer with the Sun Sentinel, the Miami Heat turned down Ben Simmons because he is no longer a proven win-now player.
"At a certain point, a team in win-now mode has to draw a valuation line between players who can be developed/reclaimed and those needed to be able to contribute in the moment, without questions of whether they are healthy enough or still skilled enough."
"In the development bucket, the Heat have Ryan Conwell, Myron Gardner, Tre Donaldson and even, still, Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson. So adding an unknown quantity would have meant going without, say, a Nick Richards or Klay Thompson or Tim Hardaway Jr," Winderman explained in his latest report.
"The Kings make all the sense for Ben Simmons, and he makes all the sense for them. There is no pressure to produce in Sacramento, but rather to begin a potential climb back to relevance."

The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs begin Sunday night at Darlington Raceway, and the Cook Out Southern 500 gives The Chase the kind of opener it deserves. Ryan Preece forced his way into the 16-driver field with a win at Daytona last weekend, grabbing the final playoff spot and adding one more dramatic twist before the ***** le fight officially begins. Now the regular season is over, the field is set, and only 16 drivers have a path to the championship.
Denny Hamlin starts The Chase in the best position, carrying a 25-point lead over Ryan Blaney, while the rest of the field has plenty of ground to make up. Preece enters as the final seed and starts 100 points back, but with 10 races still ahead, there is still plenty of time for chaos, comebacks, and mistakes that can reshape the standings quickly. Darlington is the perfect place to start, with its tire wear, narrow racing groove, and unforgiving walls ready to punish anyone who gets too aggressive too early. The Chase is wide open, and Sunday night is the first real test.
The green flag drops for the first race of The Chase at 5:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday, and racing fans can watch every lap on Sling TV.

In front of a packed house at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the Florida Gators routed the FAU Owls 66-21 in the teams' season opener.
The Gators have struggled the past four seasons, all of them ending with losing records. In 2025, the team finished 4-8, and coach Billy Napier was fired in October.
Changes had to be made in the offseason, and they were. Florida brought in new head coach Jon Sumrall, who's credited for quick turnarounds at Troy and Tulane, turning them into winning teams.
Out goes quarterback DJ Lagway to Baylor and in comes Aaron Philo, a transfer from Georgia Tech who threw for 373 yards in his only start against Gardner-Webb in 2025.
FAU came into this game being ranked No. 1 in the nation in passing offense last season, averaging 340.2 yards per game. Their defense, however, was ranked near the bottom, giving up 36.3 points per game. History wasn't on the Owls' side either as they've never won a game against the Gators, 0-4 all-time.

PITTSBURG, Kan. — The Missouri Southern State University Lions volleyball team (2-4) opened play at the Pittsburg State University Gorilla Classic with mixed results in their first two matches.
On Wednesday night, the Lions put together a dominant performance, sweeping the Southwestern Oklahoma State University Bulldogs 3-0 (25-14, 25-23, 25-12).
Southern controlled the match through the early going of Set 1 and built a 16-7 lead off a Reagan Ashby service ace. The led swelled to 11 at 21-10 off an Olivia Burmeister kill and the set ended at 25-14 off a kill by Kaelyn Kendrick.
Set 2 was the most competitive of the match. Grace Gardner got the ball rolling for the Lions with two straight kills to open the set. Three straight errors by the Bulldogs saw Southern go up 5-0 early.
Southern held its biggest lead of the set at 17-10 off a Kendrick kill, but SWOSU (2-3) battled back to within a point at 23-22 off a Libbie Hughs ace. A Gardner kill stopped the bleeding and Southern hung on for the 25-23 win.

A Georgia Bulldogs long snapper survived the grind of final cuts and has made an NFL roster. Former Georgia long snapper Beau Gardner has made the Chicago Bears' active roster, according to a team announcement. He won the competition against Luke Elkin.
Gardner will be an integral part of the special teams unit alongside kicker Cairo Santos and punter Tory Taylor. Santos has been the Bears kicker since 2020, while Taylor has been one of the best punters in the league.
Gardner was also a part of a great special teams unit in Georgia, where he transferred in 2024 after three seasons with the UCLA Bruins. Kicker Peyton Woodring, still on the team, made the All-SEC second team in 2024 and 2025, while Brett Thorson, the punter for the Minnesota Vikings, was a first-team All-American and winner of the Ray Guy Award in 2025, along with being All-ACC second team in 2024 and 2025.
Gardner himself was a great special teamer in Georgia. He was first-team All-SEC in 2024 and 2025, first-team All-American in 2025, and even won the Patrick Mannelly Award in 2025 for being the best long snapper in the nation. He consistently delivered great snaps. The Bears signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2026 as a reward, and he has made the team.
The Bears have very little former Georgia Bulldogs on their team, with just running back D'Andre Swift joining Gardner. They used to have linebacker Roquan Smith on their team before he was traded to the Baltimore Ravens in 2022. Gardner is not the only undrafted Georgia specialist to make an NFL team. Brett Thorson made the Vikings as well.

Former Indiana State Sycamore standout Johnathan Edwards was among the final 53 players on the Indianapolis Colts season-opening roster, announced Sunday night at the NFL's 6 p.m. deadline.
Edwards was one of five cornerbacks listed on the roster, as reported by Colts.com. He joins Sauce Gardner, Jaylon Jones, Justin Walley, Charvarius Ward Sr.
This will be Edwards' second season with the Colts. Last season, Edwards played in 14 games for Indianapolis, starting five of those. Edwards compiled 26 total tackles, including 19 solos and seven ****** ists. The 6-foot-1, 201-pound Edwards, now 24 years old, played at ISU from 2021-23 and then at Tulane in 2024.
The Colts on Sunday made a flurry of transactions to trim their roster to 53 players ahead of Sunday's 6 p.m. deadline.
The roster may change in the coming days, as any waiver claims the Colts are awarded from Sunday's initial round of league-wide cuts will be processed Monday, according to the Colts.com report.

Caroline Dubois coasted to victory over Amelia Moore to defend her WBC and WBO lightweight **** les and stay on course for a blockbuster meeting with unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner in 2027.
Dubois dominated the fight at BP Pulse Arenain Birmingham and knocked Moore down in the fifth round but was unable to find the decisive blow against the dogged American.
The British fighter won on unanimous judges' decision, 99-90 99-90 98-91 ahead on the scorecards.
Dubois was heavy favourite for this fight and never looked less than in control, although her reliance on power and presence rather than speed ensured it went the distance to a long, inevitable conclusion.
She sent Moore to the canvas with a booming left in round five, but Moore got straight back up and was instead moved around the ring by Dubois like a cat playing with a mouse.

NFL All-Pro cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner is suing a Farmington Hills construction company for $1.4 million claiming breach of contract and fraud related to the planned renovation of a Detroit investment property.
Sanborn Construction Group has also sued Gardner, claiming the Detroit native and former Detroit King High School star misled the company and breached the contract because he wanted his "friends" to serve as general contractor on the project.
The dueling lawsuits center on the vacant 1920s era Bonita apartments building at 69 Seward Street. The 44-unit building is just west of Woodward, about five blocks north of the Fisher Building.
Nick Sanborn, CEO of Sanborn Construction Group, declined to comment on the case.
"We filed our breach of contract lawsuit first and our complaint is public info," Sanborn told the Free Press in an email. "Other than that we have no comment."

Despite capturing Set 1, the Missouri Southern State University volleyball team could not tame the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Savage Storm and fell 3-1 (25-21, 23-25, 19-25, 16-25) in their season opener Thursday at the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center.
"To see our offense running on all cylinders early in Set 1 was great. We love that. In two, three and four, I just felt like we got outworked a little bit defensively — and the girls agreed with that," MSSU head coach Joshua Moore said. "I think it was a good lesson that nothing that happens this season is just going to be given to us. We are going to have to earn everything we get. Overall, that team outworked us, so we are just going to have to take it on the chin."
The match was the first of 12 for the six teams in the three-day 2026 Southern Invite.
In Set 1, Southern jumped out to a 4-0 lead in a run that included kills by Addysen Alvis and Grace Gardner and a Brenna Weaver service ace.
The Lions led by as many as 5 points twice in the set — at 10-5 and 11-6, but the Storm battled back to 20-22 off a setting error. Southern later closed out the 25-21 win with a Kaelyn Kendrick kill.

WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump has sent Congress a proposed agreement with Saudi Arabia on civil nuclear energy while insisting the pact will only go into effect if the kingdom ‌normalizes relations with Israel, a U.S. administration official told Reuters on Tuesday.
The agreement, which was reached in ‌July and would allow U.S. companies to export civilian nuclear technology to the kingdom, was sent to Congress on Monday, according to the U.S. official, who declined to be identified.
The Saudi embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It was not clear how Trump expects sending the nuclear deal to Congress, which has 90 session days to consider it, will advance his objectives.

Scotney, 28, vacated her undisputed super-bantamweight champion status in April and is stepping up a division in pursuit of becoming a two-weight world champion.
The bout against 38-year-old American Brown serves as the co-main event and is one of four world ******* le fights on the MVPW-07 card.
It will be headlined by Elif Nur Turhan's IBF lightweight defence against Alycia Baumgardner.
"I can't wait for the next chapter to begin at 126lb, where I truly believe the world will see the best of me," Scotney said.

The Atlanta Falcons may not be all that talented compared to the competition, at least if we're going by the new positional rankings from ESPN which have them placed 30th at quarterback and just 26th overall.
Where the Falcons are best they are truly special, though.
The latest evidence here is the top-25 players under 25 years old from Mike Jones at The Athletic, where two Atlanta stars made the cut and another earned an honorable mention.
Naturally, superstar running back Bijan Robinson ranked highest, coming in at No. 9 on his list, one spot below Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua and one ahead of Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner.
"One of the best all-around weapons in the league, Robinson last season topped the 1,400-yard rushing mark for the second straight year, and he added 820 receiving yards on 79 catches. Robinson edged out Christian McCaffrey in all-purpose yards (2,298 to 2,126) to lead all offensive players."

In the biggest Colorado Avalanche news of the summer, our beloved LG Red is back at Altitude for the upcoming season! Lauren Gardner won't be exclusive to just Avalanche broadcasts but she is back in Colorado and will be on our TV screens. Welcome home, LG!
The NHL announced they are committing to regular season games in Germany for three years starting with the 2026-27 season as the league continues to increase their global reach.
There will be a new specialty jersey coming this fall for every team, dubbed the Hometown Remix. Word on the street is that just like their two versions of the Reverse Retro, the Avalanche will have a white sweater in this upcoming collection as well.
Preseason isn't just for the Avalanche as the Colorado Eagles are expected to participate in what's been dubbed the Southwest Showdown. The Tucson Roadrunners will serve as host while the Eagles will play the Texas Stars on September 26th and the Henderson Silver Knights on September 27th. Giddy up!

The Arizona Cardinals will start Gardner Minshew against the Dallas Cowboys in this weekend's preseason game. That much has been announced.
Minshew has been getting plenty of first-team reps, and is at the ready for the backup role or for a starting position.
RELATED: LOVE DEALING WITH A HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN
Currently, Jacoby Brissett is listed on the Cardinals depth chart as the starting quarterback, with Minshew the backup and rookie Carson Beck and Kedon Slovis battling it out for QB3. This is not to say that any of these signalcallers can slide up and down the depth chart. That is what training camp and the preseason games are for.
Minshew is expected to start and play the first half along with the remainder of the second-team offense. It will be interesting to see who plays right guard for the injured Chase Bisontis. Slovis will man the second half with some second-string guys, and then the third team will get on the field. These guys are fighting for roster spots. It is ******* umed that Minshew will come out of the halftime locker room and start the second half, then sit.

Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson seems to have gotten some brutal trolling in at Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders during a joint practice between the Bills and Browns on Thursday in Ohio.
As Sanders dukes it out with Deshaun Watson for the team's top quarterback job, Gardner-Johnson yelled "check-down king" in Sanders' direction while the latter was on the sideline during the joint practice, per Browns reporter Tom Withers.
While Gardner-Johnson wasn't practicing, he seems to have still wanted to get in Sanders' head. While he didn't say it directly to his face, it sure seems like the trolling was directed at the former Colorado quarterback.
We're not else who this trolling would have been for unless Watson was also on the sideline. The fact that Withers pointed directly to Sanders makes us think he was the only quarterback in the area.
Sanders could possibly win the job in Cleveland, even if Watson may have the edge right now.

Following a Thursday night preseason opener tie, the Indianapolis Colts were back in action indoors during otherwise a soggy late Saturday afternoon—for what was a rather uneventful training camp practice, with the team primarily focusing on end zone work.
I was actually able to attend this one as a credentialed member of the media, so I'll change the format up a bit:
For another training camp practice, it looked like the Colts secondary got the better of the Indianapolis wide receivers, especially with Alec Pierce still out (who we'll get to in a bit here). That seems to have been a common theme so far this training camp, and when the trio of Sauce Gardner, Charvarius Ward, and Justin Walley are all fully healthy, the Colts project to have one of the best cornerback rooms atop their depth chart in the entire league.
In particular, starting cornerback Justin Walley, who was playing on the outside in place of Ward in this one, had at least a few deflections of note. Oftentimes, Jones was forced to hold the football in the passing pocket until a Colts receiver could finally free up from tight coverage. That may not happen in a real game, where the pass rush will get to him a lot quicker and not let up, likely seeing more 'coverage sacks.'
That being said, while the Colts secondary did stifle Jones for much of the afternoon, he connected on at least a few touchdowns passes in 11-on-11 red zone work, including to Josh Downs, who came up gingerly after the acrobatic touchdown catch but was able to walk off the field and be attended to by trainers. Downs did later return to practice. Ashton Dulin, Seth McGowan, Laquon Treadwell, and Tyler Warren, who also had an acrobatic dandy, caught the other touchdown receptions from Jones on the afternoon from what I saw.

#ward #justin

Indianapolis Colts' second-year cornerback Justin Walley was one of the standout performers in the team's training camp practice on Saturday.
This was a shorter practice, only about an hour long, and the focus was on the red zone. There, Walley forced two pass breakups, according to the Indy Star's Joel Erickson.
On one play, Walley "went up high," Erickson wrote, while covering Laquon Treadwell. On the other pass breakup, which also came when defending Treadwell, Walley blanketed the initial route before he "cut off" Treadwell as he altered his route.
Walley will be the Colts' starting nickel cornerback, with Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward outside. However, Walley has taken some outside snaps as well during training camp, giving the Colts another option at that position if an injury occurs.
Walley impressed early on last summer, but unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending ACL injury. Since returning to the practice field in the spring, however, he has hit the ground running, seemingly picking up where he left off.

#colts #erickson #training

WESTFIELD — Justin Walley remains the unknown in the Colts' trio of starting cornerbacks.
Sauce Gardner has two All-Pro nods to his name. Charvarius Ward has the accolades and played in Super Bowls.
Walley is still waiting to play his first snap in an NFL game but he's already so important to the Colts that Indianapolis held him out of Thursday night's preseason game against the Patriots, two days after the young cornerback played a heavy complement of snaps in a joint practice with New England.
When Walley got back into the lineup for Saturday's short practice at Grand Park, he showed why the Colts are so high on him. Walley broke up two passes in the end zone, making an impact in a practice that was entirely geared toward the red-zone passing game. On one, Walley went up high to deny veteran receiver Laquon Treadwell; the other came on a play where Walley covered Treadwell's initial route, then cut off the veteran receiver coming back to knock it away.
How the Colts use Walley will likely depend on the health of Ward, who suffered a back injury last week and did not travel with the team to New England. If Ward — or any of the Colts' top trio, for that matter — is forced to miss time, the next player up will likely be former Bengals cornerback Cameron Taylor-Britt, and the Colts could use Walley or Taylor-Britt in the slot. From the looks of it, Walley got some work on the outside in Saturday's practice.

Devon Witherspoon just gave the Philadelphia Eagles another number to consider when they eventually begin working on long-term contracts for Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
According to ESPN, Witherspoon and the Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a four-year, $132 million extension that includes more than $101 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. The reported agreement represents another significant jump for a position that has become increasingly valuable in the modern NFL.
In borrowing from a recent Denver Post article, the Eagles have their own 'Champagne Problems' at the cornerback position. A phrase used to describe trivial, first-world, or "high-class" grievances, the Eagles have amassed the best cornerback trio in the NFL, and if they all play well, they'll seek elite compensation. Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean do not need new contracts yet, but they have every reason to pay attention to the cornerback market.
That market is moving quickly, and New England Patriots standout Christian Gonzalez will likely surpass Witherspoon.
The top of the market had already changed after Trent McDuffie landed a four-year, $124 million extension from the Los Angeles Rams after being acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs. This deal made him the NFL's highest-paid cornerback at $31 million per season. Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley Jr. are also at or near $30 million annually, creating a new financial tier for elite young defensive backs.

Preseason is a proving ground for a lot of the players on the Raiders roster right now. And the first event occurred Thursday night in Las Vegas. Let's look at who did themselves a favor and who did not.
The second-year wideout shined as a receiver as well as a blocker, which is exactly what the Raiders want from him. He is expected to start this season and showed well for himself in that endeavor. Bech caught the first pass of the day on a comebacker he only caught by being aggressive and attacking the ball. Later on the opening drive, he was there to help open things up for Michael Mayer on his touchdown catch. Bech was ready to block, but the moment he realized Mayer was free, Bech eased off to avoid a penalty.
Bech stayed in when Fernando Mendoza entered the game. And caught his first pass as well, laying out along the right sideline to make a nine-yard grab. The next drive, he laid a key block on the MIke Washington 53-yard run and then caught the touchdown over the middle to tie up the game.
Vance is in a battle among a host of other cornerbacks on this team. But unlike the others, Vance makes his hay in the slot. And the 177-pounder played a lot bigger than that in this game. The second-year former undrafted free agent made several big tackles for short minimal gain, both in the pass game and against the run to finish with a team-leading 10 tackles on the day. The only significant catch he gave up, he was in tight coverage and it took a one-armed grab by Reggie Virgil.
Second on the team in tackles was Patrick Johnson with five. One of those was a sack, one a tackle for loss, another tackle for no gain. He actually had two sacks because Gardner Minshew was flagged for intentional grounding on the play. Johnson even had a tackle on special teams, which raises his star among his coaches even more. And he did all this with just 26 snaps (38%).

Planning to settle in for the Arizona Cardinals' second preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 13? Well, enjoy.
This is about as good as preseason football gets. Both teams are set to play their starters, as announced by both head coaches. For the Cardinals, that might only last a drive or two, but it's still those players' first action of preseason. The Raiders' starters could last even longer — head coach Klint Kubiak left that ambiguous.
Then, when the starters exit, we'll get Carson Beck — the star of last week's Hall of Fame game — against Fernando Mendoza, Las Vegas' No. 1 overall pick. To make that matchup even more exciting, it's a rematch of the national championship game, when Mendoza led Indiana past Beck's Miami. Should be fun.
On the Cardinals' side, here are five storylines to watch for.
For Beck to earn playing time come the regular season, he needs to surpass not just Jacoby Brissett but also backup Gardner Minshew.

Indianapolis Colts star Sauce Gardner has filed a lawsuit against a Michigan construction company—claiming that the business failed to carry out renovations to a $935,000 abandoned apartment building in Detroit, despite receiving a $500,000 deposit to secure its services.
The NFL athlete—whose real name is Ahmad Gardner—claims that he was lured into buying the property under false pretenses, and is asking that the Michigan-based Sanborn Construction company be forced to return his deposit and pay him additional damages.
In the lawsuit, which was first reported by TMZ, the 24-year-old cornerback states that he first met the company's CEO, Nicholas Sanborn, on social media, where they struck up a conversation about real estate, which led to a discussion about a disused apartment building in the New Center neighborhood of Motor City.
Gardner, who was born in Detroit, says he became particularly interested in the property after Sanborn told him that an adjacent building was also on the market—a detail that the NFL star claims he later discovered was untrue. He adds that he agreed to invest in the multifamily property under the ****** umption that Sanborn Construction would handle the renovation of the abandoned structure.
Records show that the athlete closed on the property, which was previously known as Bonita Apartments and features 44 vacant units, on May 11, with the final sale price listed as $935,000. Prior to Gardner's purchase, the building had been listed for just under $1.2 million.

Adonai Mitchell could be an important player for the New York Jets in 2026 if training camp is a preview of what's to come.
FOX Sports believes putting Mitchell in a position do to that would be a smart thing to do by the Jets.
Heading into the upcoming NFL season, New York's coaching staff is hoping to find a complement to star wide receiver Garrett Wilson on the team's offense. There is promise on the team's roster from the 2026 NFL Draft via first-round picks Omar Cooper Jr. and Kenyon Sadiq.
FOX Sports thinks that's a good idea because the outlet named one start that is set to emerge for every NFL team in 2026. The one projected to in New York is Mitchell.
Mitchell was acquired by the Jets in the mid-season trade that sent cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts last year. In eight games with the Jets, Mitchell hauled in a modest 24 catches on 58 targets for 301 yards and two touchdowns.

How good is the Houston Texans' secondary entering 2026?
In a sense, slightly underrated by Pro Football Focus compared to other rankings around the NFL, most notably at cornerback.
PFF recently revealed its top 32 cornerbacks for the 2026 season, with both Kamari Lassiter and two-time All-Pro Derek Stingley Jr. ranked inside the top 10. Stingely, who has been arguably the second-best cornerback since 2024 behind former Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II, came in at No. 7 overall, behind names like Surtain, Seattle's Devon Witherspoon and Indianapolis' Sauce Gardner.
The reason? Yards before contact.
"Stingley experienced a bit of a volatile 2025 campaign in coverage last season, but his elite ball skills still allowed him to tally four interceptions and nine pass breakups," PFF's Dalton Wasserman wrote. "His 73.5 PFF coverage grade ranked 23rd among all qualified cornerbacks. Over the past three years, Stingley slots second among qualified cornerbacks with a 90.3 coverage grade. He and Kamari Lassiter make a good case to be labeled the NFL's best cornerback duo."
