The Bills announced their first wave of cuts on Saturday afternoon.
The list includes the previous reported release of wide receiver Mecole Hardman, but not the release of punter Mitch Wishnowsky. The Bills have reportedly decided to go with rookie Tommy Doman over Wishnowsky.
Buffalo is also parting ways with linebacker Cade Denhoff, cornerback Jordan Dunbar, guard Bruno Fina, linebacker Theron Gaines, center Sincere Haynesworth, defensive lineman Zion Logue, cornerback D.J. Miller, safety Wande Owens, wide receiver Dante Pettis, linebacker Otis Reese, wide receiver Quentin Skinner, and tight end Shane Zylstra.
If Wishnowsky's reported release is included, the Bills are left with 23 more moves to make to get to the 53-man limit on Sunday.

The Rams season opener against Fort Hayes was originally scheduled to start at 7 p.m. on Thursday. However, a batch of local storms with lightning first delayed the stadium gates at LeGrand Stadium, then delayed the start of the game.
As of now, there is no official word on when the game will start.

Florida has named a new starting quarterback, and he's a name that should be familiar to Georgia Tech fans.
Gators coach Jon Sumrall named redshirt sophomore Aaron Philo as the team's starting quarterback for the fall. He's a Yellow Jackets transfer who will now pilot Sumrall's first year in the Swamp.
Philo beat out redshirt freshman Tramell Jones Jr. for the starting gig.
Philo only played in three games last year for Georgia Tech behind quarterback Haynes King, but he will now get his chance to start for one of the biggest college football programs in the country.

Texas A&M's 2025 quarterback room included former four-star QB Miles O'Neill, who, during his impressive high school career, potentially looked like the next starting signal caller after Marcel Reed eventually departs, but after two seasons with the program, throwing for a combined 171 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, the Massachusetts native entered the transfer portal, eventually choosing North Carolina.
Standing 6'5" and 220 pounds, O'Neill's arm strength was never an issue, but compared to likely backup Brady Hart, his fit in new OC Holmon Wiggins' offense wasn't compatible; that doesn't take away from the fact that, with the right scheme, reaching his full potential is still in reach.
Under Hall of Fame coach Bill Belichick and OC and former Texas A&M and Arkansas OC Bobby Petrino, it was reported by TarHeel247 that O'Neill is in good position to be named the starter soon, as fellow transfer quarterback Billy Edwards is still recovering from his season-ending injury, while O'Neill is also competing with Au'Tori Newkirk and Travis Burgess, who are equally inexperienced.
Former Texas A&M QB Max Johnson played for North Carolina from 2024-2025 and served as the starter for the Tar Heels before suffering a broken femur, which ended his season after the first game, and will be his final collegiate season with Georgia Southern.
The running joke that Texas A&M has become "QB U" given all the former signal callers who have started elsewhere after transferring has some accuracy attached to it, especially given that former coach Jimbo Fisher failed to develop nearly every starting quarterback, especially Conner Weigman and Haynes King.

As revealed by head coach Dave Canales this past Sunday, the Carolina Panthers are fielding their starters for this afternoon's preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. But that doesn't mean every starter is suiting up.

QB Haynes King

Today, the Carolina Panthers will be playing their second preseason game of the year, going on the road to face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
Last week was a thrilling start to the summer exhibitions for Carolina—as their 33-30 victory over the Arizona Cardinals ended in a buzzer-beating touchdown scramble by rookie quarterback Haynes King. Unfortunately, we won't get to see King on the field today, as he suffered a hamstring injury on that final play.
However, we will get to see starting quarterback Bryce Young—for at least a couple of drives.
According to Cameron Wolfe at NFL Network, the Panthers plan to play Young for 10 to 15 snaps. They'll be focused on tempo and operation, among other things.
That's pretty close to the preseason game plan we saw two years ago, when the Panthers visited the Bills. Head coach Dave Canales only played Young for one drive, but he did more than enough to convince the staff he was ready for the regular season to begin—completing six of his eight throws for 70 yards and a touchdown.

Panthers digging deep into OL depth chart during preseason originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Carolina Panthers need extra help.
With their top two offensive tackles out for the start of the 2026 NFL regular season and both starting guards hobbled throughout the opening three weeks of training camp, Bryce Young could be fronted by at least four different linemen when the fourth-year quarterback opens Saturday's preseason matchup against the host Buffalo Bills.
Young did not sound concerned, pointing to the reserves' role during the 33-30 Hall of Fame Game victory Aug. 6. With third- and fourth-stringers fueling the comeback, undrafted free agent quarterback Haynes King, benefitting from key blocks by backup center Nick Samac, scored the game-winning touchdown as time expired in Canton, Ohio.
"The culture in that room as been strong ever since I've been here," Young said after Sunday's practice. "Over the years, there's been so much shuffling ... guys knowing it's next man up. People have to step up."

The Oklahoma Sooners enter the 2026 college football season without many question marks on the defensive side of the ball. The Sooners possess one of the best defensive units in the sport.
However, the question marks the team has usually have to do with depth at certain positions. Cornerback is a position where the Sooners feel confident. Eli Bowen and Courtland Guillory are established starters and Jacobe Johnson has been a very good rotational player in his career. However, Oklahoma likes to be able to play four cornerbacks, and after losing Devon Jordan to the transfer portal, that leaves the fourth spot up for grabs.
Former Sooner All-American linebacker Teddy Lehman said that he thinks former Oklahoma preps star Trystan Haynes could be the guy to take that spot and get into the rotation.
"I really like Trystan Haynes," Lehman said on 'The Oklahoma Breakdown with Ikard and Lehman.' "I've seen some really good stuff from him."
Haynes' emergence would give Oklahoma another young, talented option in the secondary and allow the Sooners to keep their top cornerbacks fresh throughout the season. It would also give the coaching staff more flexibility with its defensive personnel and coverage packages.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a gamble by selecting in-state quarterback sensation Kyle Trask in the 2021 NFL Draft. He was drafted with the hope he could eventually be the franchise quarterback after Tom Brady retired, but rather, he would never earn the chance to start a game.
He would leave the team by not being re-signed in 2025, and he would be signed to the Atlanta Falcons practice squad. He would hit free agency again, and now he is once again staying in the NFC South.
On Saturday, Kyle Trask signed with the Carolina Panthers in the middle of their training camp.
Trask reunites with his former playcaller with the Bucs, who is now the Panthers' head coach, Dave Canales. He will backup Bryce Young following the injury to Hall of Fame game hero, Haynes King.

Carolina signed former Florida quarterback Kyle Trask on Sunday after a hamstring injury is expected to sideline rookie Haynes King for an extended period of time. The ex-Gator joins Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett as the Panthers' top options under center entering Week 2 of the preseason.
The 2020 NCAA passing touchdowns leader spent 2025 on the Atlanta Falcons practice squad after being released by Tampa Bay in August of last year. The Buccaneers made Trask the 64th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft after his record-breaking senior campaign in Gainesville helped the Gators reach the SEC championship game.
While at UF, Trask went from unheralded backup to Heisman finalist in a season that saw him toss 43 touchdowns, breaking the program's single-season mark set by Danny Wuerffel in 1996.
The 6-foot-4-inch, 236-pound Manvel, Texas, native has failed to translate his magical 2020 performance into opportunities at the next level. As a professional, Trask has appeared in just seven regular-season games and completed 4-of-11 passes for 28 yards. The fact that Trask continues to command attention despite last taking a snap in December 2024 speaks to how much teams value his size, arm talent, and upside.
After an underwhelming three seasons, Trask will look to revive his career and prove that he can be a serviceable NFL backup. King is considered week-to-week and sustained the injury in Carolina's preseason win over Arizona.

Coming away as the hero from what could have been the greatest Hall of Fame Game ever had a price for Panthers quarterback Haynes King.
As first reported by Joe Person of The Athletic yesterday afternoon, King sustained a hamstring injury in the team's preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals this past Thursday night. The rookie, who took the bulk of snaps under center, pushed the Panthers to a thrilling 33-30 victory—completing 21 of his 34 throws for 180 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for the game-winning score as time expired.
Head coach Dave Canales provided an update on King's status following Sunday morning's practice, telling reporters that he does not expect to see him play in the next exhibition contest.
"From what I understood, it was on that last play—where he kinda lunged forward and dove for the goal line, and really gave everything he had, literally," Canales said of the injury.
"We'll just keep evaluating him on a weekly basis. I do not seeing him coming back for this game, for sure. We'll reevaluate him on the following week to see when we can get him back out there."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers signed Kyle Trask as a third quarterback on Sunday with Hall of Fame game hero Haynes King expected to miss time with a hamstring injury.
Trask gives the Panthers a third QB behind starter Bryce Young and backup Kenny Pickett.
Trask has familiarity with Panthers offensive coordinator Brad Idzik, having spent the last three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has limited game experience, with only 11 career pass attempts during his career.
Trask could see playing time on Saturday when the Panthers visit the Buffalo Bills.
King, an undrafted rookie out of Georgia Tech, ran in from the 5 on the final play to give the Panthers a dramatic 33-30 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night in Canton, Ohio, to kick off the NFL preseason. The Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year last season, King was 21 of 34 for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 39 yards and the winning score.

Ashleigh Gardner's position as Australia's vice-captain has come under renewed scrutiny after her estranged wife, Monica Wright, called for the star all-rounder to be removed from the leadership role and questioned Cricket Australia's response to allegations surrounding their marriage.

In an exclusive interview with Code Sports, Wright criticised the governing body's silence after she publicly accused Gardner of having an affair with Australia teammate Georgia Voll.

Wright argued that Gardner's position of leadership should carry additional responsibility, particularly given her allegation of a power imbalance between Gardner and Voll.

"I think if you're privileged enough to represent your country and be seen as a role model, there's a responsibility to hold yourself to a high moral standard," Wright told Code Sports.

She also questioned why Cricket Australia had not publicly addressed the matter.

"What I can't understand is why Cricket Australia hasn't said anything publicly," she said.

Wright's comments come after she publicly identified Voll in an Instagram post in July, writing: "This is who my wife cheated on me with." Gardner and Wright have since separated and removed photographs of each other from their social media accounts.

Neither Gardner nor Voll has publicly responded to Wright's allegations. Cricket Australia has also not publicly commented on the specific allegations.
Wright believes the allegations should have consequences for Gardner's position within Australian cricket.

"You can't have an affair with a junior member of staff, especially when there's a clear power imbalance, and then remain in a position of leadership," she told Code Sports. "Captains are expected to set the standard, and that kind of conduct falls well short of it."

Wright's comments put the focus not only on Gardner's personal situation but also on how Cricket Australia handles relationships within its professional environment.

Code Sports reported that Cricket Australia has maintained that it regards the situation as a private matter while enforcing its workplace policies.

The controversy has not, however, affected Gardner's standing with the Sydney Sixers, whom she captains in the Women's Big Bash League.

Sixers general manager Rachael Haynes said the club remained supportive of Gardner and confirmed that it intended to recommend that she continue as captain.

"She's a well-respected player within our program, an important player for us," Haynes said.

Asked directly whether Gardner would remain Sixers captain, Haynes replied: "Absolutely."

Gardner made history last year when she succeeded Ellyse Perry as Sixers captain, becoming the first Indigenous cricketer to captain a Big Bash side.
The controversy comes at a significant point in Gardner's international career. She is Australia's vice-captain to Sophie Molineux and was part of the Australian side that recently defeated England in the T20 World Cup final at L

The Washington Huskies are among eight finalists for elite five-star Prolific Prep strong forward Malachi Jordan.
The 6-foot-7, 225-pound senior is originally from White House, Tennessee, but plays for Prolific Prep in Florida and sits as the No. 13 overall prospect in the 2027 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
The coveted forward has already made an official visit to UW last October when the football team hosted then-No. 24-ranked Illinois at Husky Stadium—a 42-25 victory over the Illini—a week after coach Danny Sprinkle and the Huskies formally offered him a scholarship.
Johnson is one of the most sought-after prospects in the country with roughly two dozen offers, of which he's cut his list down to Alabama, Connecticut, Kansas, Ohio State, Tennessee, USC, Vanderbilt and UW.
"They all have a rich background in putting guys at my position in the league," Jordan told 247Sports after making his final list of schools. "I need to be smart about my development. All these schools develop really well and have great coaches. Some are close to home, some are far, but all have something in common."This fall, Johnson has official visits scheduled to USC (Sept. 4), Vanderbilt (Sept. 19), Tennessee (Sept. 25) and Alabama (Oct. 9), with a potential return trip to Seattle at some point before his decision still always a possibility if Sprinkle and new ******* istant coach DeAndre Haynes and Quincey Pondexter can make a strong impression.

Sir Garfield Sobers was called the "greatest all-round cricketer the world has ever known" by former team-mate Sir Clive Lloyd at the legendary West Indies player's state funeral in Barbados.
Lloyd described all-rounder Sobers, who died aged 89 on 17 July, as "a man who lived in the hearts and minds of Caribbean people and who became a source of inspiration to millions throughout the world".
An entertaining left-handed batter and bowler of seam and spin, Sobers played 93 Tests between 1954 and 1974, scoring 8,032 runs and taking 235 wickets.
The funeral was staged at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, the principle ground in Barbados and home to a pavilion named after Sobers.
Lloyd and fellow West Indies legends Brian Lara and Desmond Haynes were among those who spoke at the state service of thanksgiving, which was also attended by Barbados president Jeffrey Bostic, prime minister Mia Mottley and Barbadian music superstar Rihanna.

On Friday night, Chris Haynes of NBA on Prime reported the news that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the Memphis Grizzlies are working on a buyout.
He would then join the Philadelphia 76ers as a free agent.

#memphis

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope won his first ring next to LeBron James, now he is headed to Philadelphia to try and do it again.
Caldwell-Pope and the Grizzlies are working out a buyout, and once the veteran wing clears waivers, he intends to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, reports NBA insider Chris Haynes.
KCP moving on from Memphis is not a surprise. He was brought in while the team still had Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. and was looking to win. With the Grizzlies pivoting to a youth movement — plus they are dealing with a roster crunch — it makes sense to buy out KCP, who is set to make $ 21.6 million this season. (KCP likely gives the Grizzlies a discount of exactly how much he can sign with the 76ers for.)
Caldwell-Pope was a key part of the Lakers' **** le run in the bubble, and three years later became a starter for the Denver team that won a **** le behind Nikola Jokic.
However, the past couple of seasons his game has slipped. Last season in Memphis, he averaged just 8.4 points a game and shot 31.6% from 3-point range. He was out from February on after having surgery to adjust a misaligned pinky finger on his right hand.

Washington Huskies coach Danny Sprinkle has completed his coaching staff with the hiring of 25-year NBA veteran ***** istant coach Charles Klask.
Klask, a graduate of Michigan State in 1999, began his coaching career in the NBA as a video coordinator for the Detroit Pistons in 2000-01 under then-coach Rick Carlisle. He spent the next decade as a scout with the Orlando Magic, working for Doc Rivers and Stan Van Gundy among other notable head coaches for the organization before he advanced into a coaching role.
Most recently, Klask spent eight seasons with the Denver Nuggets as an ***** istant coach, helping develop players like three-time MVP big man Nikola Jokić, while being on staff for the franchise's first championship in 2023.
The hiring of Klask is the second confirmed coaching change this offseason for Sprinkle. It follows the addition of ex-Marquette ***** istant coach DeAndre Haynes, giving Sprinkle a wealth of experience joining his bench for the 2026-27 men's basketball season as the third-year coach aims to return UW to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019 under former coach Mike Hopkins.
Having coached numerous All-Star-caliber players in the NBA over his two-plus decades spent in the league—Blake Griffin, Chauncey Billups, and Andre Drummond, among several others—the addition of the Big Ten alum should blend well with a veteran-laden roster that features seven juniors and seniors.
