Manchester City completed the signing of Allan from Palmeiras during the lattee stages of the summer transfer window. The Brazilian winger is one of Manchester City's more intriguing signings for some time. Allan has taken a different route to earn his move to City. He rose through the ranks at Palmeiras before establishing himself on the right wing for Abel Ferreira's side. It was hoped that Allan would be in the City squad for last Saturday's match against Coventry City. But that wasn't to be. Instead, he could be in line to make his City debut against FC Porto tonight.
It was a surprise that Allan didn't make the bench for Manchester City's win over Coventry City last Saturday. However, it was reported by Enzo Krieger for CityXtra that Allan wasn't deemed fit enough to play at the Etihad. However, that situation has quickly changed. Allan has been included in Manchester City's travelling squad for tonight's match against FC Porto at the Estádio do Dragão. Also, he did train with his teammates yesterday. At this stage, it would be a major surprise if Allan wasn't at least on the bench for the opening fixture of Manchester City's 2026-27 UEFA Champions League campaign.
There would seem to be little chance that Allan would start tonight against FC Porto. He hasn't been at Manchester City for long and the Brazilian winger also wasn't fit enough to make the bench against Coventry City. Stranger things have happened but it would be unlikely that Allan will start tonight.
However, there is a chance that Allan could come off the bench tonight. Perhaps being an impact substitute may be the best way for Maresca to introduce Allan to the fold. The Brazilian winger is a quick winger blessed with quality dribbling skills and the ability to work hard on both sides of the ball. Maybe that is how Allan will make his City debut and tonight may be the right setting for Allan to play a small role for Enzo Maresca's side depending on how tonight's match unfolds.
Allan was included in Manchester City's travelling sqaud for tonight's match against FC Porto. So there is a chance that one of the more intriguing signings that City have made could get on the pitch for the first time as a Manchester City player. Whether or not it occurs remains to be seen but Allan's City debut is edging ever closer.

The New York Jets took advantage of having the No. 2 spot in the NFL waiver wire priority to address one of their biggest concerns heading into Week 1.
The Jets claimed kicker Blake Grupe off waivers. He's been named the starting placekicker for the opening game.
Veteran kicker Jason Sanders was part of the Jets' final cuts. Sanders quickly re-signed back to the practice squad, so he'll continue working on his offseason struggles behind the scenes.
The Jets cycled through various failed kicking experiments this offseason, including Younghoe Koo, Will Ferrin, Cade York, and Lenny Krieg.
Grupe has not been a very reliable kicker throughout his NFL career, which is why he was available in late August.

Training camp can be fickle. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers signed kicker Lenny Krieg. Just yesterday, receiver Brendan Rice missed his first practice with a hamstring injury. On Friday, both of those players were released to make room for the additions of receiver Kaden Prather and long snapper Cal Adomitis.
The old adage is that you can't make the club in the tub, and that's truer the further you go down the depth chart. This is your reminder of how thin the margins are for the bottom 20-ish players on the Packers' 91-man offseason roster to keep their jobs on a day-to-day basis.
Beyond the transactions, here's what you missed on Friday if you weren't able to attend today's training camp practice.
TUCKER KRAFT IS BACK. The tight end isn't participating in team drills just yet, but he is off the physically unable to perform list and did do individual drills on Friday. For those keeping track at home, he did return to practice earlier than receiver Christian Watson did off his ACL tear. If edge rusher Micah Parsons follows the same timeline as Kraft, his return to practice would be somewhere in mid-September (which is now allowed for players on the PUP list due to an offseason rule change).
Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper's injury on Thursday was not serious and be practiced on Friday.

The Green Bay Packers announced four roster moves ahead of the start of training camp, including a swap of international exemption players.
The team released kicker Lucas Havrisik and edge rusher Dante Barnett and signed tight end Thomas Yassmin and kicker Lenny Krieg on Tuesday.
The kicker swap means Krieg will now represent the competition for rookie Trey Smack, while the addition of Yassmin provides a healthy body at tight end, where the Packers are dealing with injuries to Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave (both on the PUP list) to start camp.
Krieg made a 57-yard field goal and his lone extra point attempt during the preseason with the Atlanta Falcons in 2025.
Yassmin, a former Rugby player, played 42 snaps during the preseason with the Denver Broncos in 2024 and 13 with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025. He has never appeared in a regular season game.

The Packers can't get their kicking situation settled, and Tuesday's transactions showed that the position is still a work in progress.
The Packers drafted Trey Smack out of Florida in the sixth round this spring. They also had Lucas Havrisik on their roster to compete with Smack.
But the team released Havrisik on Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Packers signed Lenny Krieg to replace Havrisik in the competition, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Krieg tried out with the team on Monday.

GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers are waiving their franchise record holder for longest field goal made in a game.
The Packers are moving on from Lucas Havrisik on the eve of training camp, a source told PackersNews. Havrisik kicked in only three games last season, but among his four field goals was a franchise-long 61 yarder last October in Arizona.
Havrisik, initially signed as an injury replacement for veteran Brandon McManus, made all four of his field goal attempts. He was 7-of-9 on extra points, both misses coming on a blustery day at the New York Giants.
The Packers signed Lenny Krieg earlier July 28. Krieg will get a chance to compete with Trey Smack, a rookie drafted in the sixth round this spring.

Jason Krieger finally got the call many thought could have come three years ago.
The 2023 Red Lion graduate was selected by the New York Yankees in the 17th round of the MLB draft on Sunday, July 12. The 6-foot-5 right-handed pitcher spent his college career at the University of Maine after he went undrafted out of high school.
This year he was named to the America East All-Conference first team after recording 55 strikeouts in 88.2 innings. The redshirt junior finished with a 4.57 ERA after missing the 2025 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Krieger went 2-0 with a .59 ERA in four games this year for the Harwich Mariners in the Cape Cod Baseball League, one of the top collegiate summer leagues in the country. He also had one save and struck out 16.

After a long couple of days, we're nearing the end of the 2026 MLB Draft. The league's 30 teams have combed through the amateur ranks and called out hundreds of names, with five rounds left of picks to make. The Yankees are hoping they've found themselves an exciting new generation of Baby Bombers with their selections; they started things off with a couple of young bats and college arms on Day 1, and have pulled from the ranks of prep bats, college hitters, and college arms so far on Day 2.
Stay with us as we come down the home stretch and the Yankees make their 16th- through 20th-round picks!
Round 16, Pick 488: Garrett Ahern, RHP, Grand Canyon, 6'5" 195 lbs.
We're back underway, and the Yankees have gone with pitcher Garrett Ahern out of Grand Canyon. A lean right-hander, Ahern has struggled to keep runs off the board in college but did record his fair of strikeouts. He has a rough-looking 6.02 ERA in 145 innings as a collegiate pitcher, striking 145 against 58 walks in that time. College baseball writer Daniel Allen posted on Twitter/X that Ahern sits 91-93 mph from a sidearm delivery that deceives opposing hitters. Ahern apparently has transferred to Arizona from Grand Canyon, but he could be an interesting project should the Yankees be able to convince him to sign.
Round 17, Pick 518: Jason Krieger, RHP, Maine, 6'5" 220 lbs.
