Automattic has a new interim chief financial officer: Jeremy Klaperman, the CFO of the company's WordPress VIP Enterprise business unit. The news, shared internally on Friday, follows last week's attempted ouster of Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg, which ultimately resulted in the departure of the board members who voted him out and other executives, including then-CFO Mark Davies. Davies was briefly interim CEO before Mullenweg retook the position.
In a Slack post, Mullenweg shared that Klaperman had previously acted as Automattic CFO when Davies had been on sabbatical. He noted that the board — whose new members have yet to be announced — will still need to evaluate internal and external candidates for the position before a final decision is made.
In addition, Mullenweg said in the post that a candidate to become the company's chief legal officer had also just verbally accepted the position, replacing Chief Legal Officer Andy Missan, who has also since left the company alongside Davies. TechCrunch recently reported that Davies and Missan had signed reciprocal severance deals during Mullenweg's 33-hour leave of absence before he returned as CEO.
"I have 100% confidence in our cash and financial position," Mullenweg's post concluded, adding "There is still work to do, but everything is within our control and depends only on Automattic's ability to execute."
In subsequent updates, Mullenweg also said to "stay tuned" for board announcements, and noted that special advisor and creator of Wolfram|Alpha, Stephen Wolfram, will continue in his position. The company's next board meeting is scheduled for September 23.

With Trevor Lawrence and Ewers on the 53-man roster, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still choosing to elevate quarterback Nick Mullens for Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.
After the Jaguars traded for Ewers, Mullens was released on cutdown day and then signed back to the practice squad.
By trading for Ewers, the Jaguars are clearly bullish on the young quarterback's upside. That said, he is still a relatively inexperienced player, whereas Mullens not only has NFL experience but is well-versed in the Liam Coen system.
Beyond the backup quarterback needing to step in if an injury occurs, that player is also tasked with providing support and another set of eyes for the starter in the meeting rooms, on the practice field, and on the sidelines on Sundays.
Mullens' experience likely makes him more well-equipped to fill that role right now than Ewers.

Second-year offensive lineman Josh Simmons was expected to be a key contributor to the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line this season, but his status for the team's Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos on 'Monday Night Football' is officially in question.
Will Simmons be able to suit up for Kansas City's home opener against Denver on September 14?
Here's the latest update on Simmons' status before the Chiefs' rivalry tilt with the Broncos in Week 1:
According to Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen, Simmons was held out of Kansas City's first practice session for Week 1 on Thursday, September 10.
Earlier this week, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed Simmons is dealing with a back injury and expressed doubt that the former Ohio State Buckeye will take the field against the Broncos.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed standout wide receiver Andrew Armstrong to their practice squad on August 31, just a day after the team released him during its preseason roster cuts.
Armstrong, who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent last year, signed a future/reserve contract with the Chiefs on January 6, 2026, after playing in stints for the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions.
A former Arkansas Razorback, Armstrong made a great impression on Kansas City's fans at Chiefs training camp and was among the team's most productive prospects during the preseason.
Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen revealed Armstrong's signing with Kansas City in a post to his official Twitter account:
While Armstrong isn't likely to be on the Chiefs' gameday roster early in the NFL regular season, he may get the chance to become a key contributor to Kansas City's offense if injuries affect the team's receiving corps later this year.

The Chargers announced their initial 53-man roster around 6:00 p.m. Sunday evening.
It came with several notable surprises, including having only two specialists and 11 total offensive linemen.
Below is a complete breakdown of the roster along with some ***** ysis on each room.
Even as someone who believes D.J. Uiagalelei outplayed Lance during the preseason by a decent margin, the Chargers were always going to keep Lance as their backup due to his larger pool of experience in the NFL, on top of his familiarity with the Shanahan-influenced offense that Mike McDaniel wants to run (even if he's not the best at executing it himself).
Uiagalelei is expected to return on the team's practice squad for another year, but the Chargers would be wise to still look elsewhere for an upgrade at backup behind Herbert. Former 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens was released and he has even more experience in running this style of offense than Lance during the former's time with the 49ers.

Compared to last year's initial 53-man roster, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a number of newcomers on this year's initial 53.
The first change is at the quarterback position, with Quinn Ewers now listed as the backup, whereas last season it was Nick Mullens. With the departure of Travis Etienne Jr, the running back room has also changed with additions Chris Rodriguez and Ameer Abdullah.
At wide receiver, Jakobi Meyers was not on the initial roster last season because Jacksonville traded for him mid-season. Besides Meyers, there are two other additions in the wide receiver room - CJ Williams and Josh Cameron. Williams and Cameron are both rookies the Jaguars drafted in the sixth round.
The tight end position is also much different. Jacksonville had three tight ends last year, and Brenton Strange is the only one of those three who is still on the roster. The Jaguars now have four tight ends, with their three new additions being Nate Boerkircher, Tanner Koziel, and Quintin Morris. Boerkircher was the Jaguars' second-round pick in this most recent draft, while Koziel was a fifth-rounder. Morris started last season on Jacksonville's practice squad but was later elevated to the active roster and played in 14 games last season.
On the offensive line, there are two new additions - rookie third-round pick Emmanuel Pregnon, who is expected to be the starting left guard, and Daniel Faalele, who spent the past four years with the Baltimore Ravens and is expected to be a depth piece for the Jaguars.

LAS VEGAS—All eyes were on the UNLV Rebels, who came out the other side of conference realignment in a position of menace for a College Football Playoff spot.
With the Mountain West no longer loaded with the traditional boogeymen for the Rebels such as Boise State, UNLV has an opportunity to make a statement of their own. With another high-profile transfer at quarterback in Jackson Arnold and a defense hoping for improvement in defensive coordinator Paul Guenther's second year, the Rebels clearly have such designs in mind for themselves.
However, to be the best in the new Group of Six with the addition of the revived Pac-12, the Rebels will need to beat the best the other conferences have to offer, and they got a tremendous opportunity to do exactly that against the Memphis Tigers.
On Saturday, however, all of those hopes suffered a massive dent with a 27-21 loss at Allegiant Stadium.
"Losing sucks, I'll tell you that," said UNLV head coach Dan Mullen during the postgame press conference. "Some critical errors, some areas we got to be better at."

Ewers, 23, was originally drafted by Miami in the seventh round (231st overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft. He played in four games last season, making three starts.
He completed 55-of-83 passes (66.3%) for 622 yards and three touchdowns.
Ewers, who played collegiately at Texas (2022-24) and Ohio State (2021), joins a Jaguars quarterback room that includes starter Trevor Lawrence and backups Nick Mullens, Carter Bradley and Joey Aguilar.

Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is moving to another Florida city. The Miami Dolphins have traded the Southlake Carroll product to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2028 sixth-round pick.
Ewers was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Dolphins. The Texas product made three starts during his rookie season, posting a 1-2 record while completing 66.3% of his passes for 622 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
It was expected that Ewers would open the 2026 NFL season as Miami's top backup behind Malik Willis. Instead, the Dolphins will most likely turn to second-year quarterback Cam Miller or undrafted rookie Mark Gronowski.
Ewers will now battle Nick Mullens to be the primary backup behind Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville. The Jags have reportedly been "quietly" calling around on backup quarterbacks, not happy with the shaky play of Lawrence's backups this preseason.
The Dolphins weren't happy with Ewers development either according to Dolphins Wire.

UNLV Head coach Dan Mullen announced Thursday on a radio show that former Oklahoma and Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold will be starting on Saturday against Memphis.
After a rough year at Auburn, Jackson Arnold hit the transfer portal and found a new home at UNLV, where he will make his start for the third team in his college career. Head coach Dan Mullen made his decision to start Arnold week zero against Memphis after the off-season quarterback competition between Arnold and former Michigan Quarterback Alex Orji.
Arnold came to the Plains in spring 2025 after two seasons at Oklahoma. There was plenty of hype around the transfer as Arnold was a five-star prospect coming out of high school in Texas. His solo season for the Tigers did not go as many had hoped. Arnold recorded 1,309 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, 311 rushing yards, and eight rushing touchdowns. He only threw two interceptions, which on paper is great, but it really came from his hesitancy to make decisions; throwing was the key reason for that low number.
Now he will be starting for a potential Group of 5 college football playoff contender in UNLV. It will be interesting to see him take the field and see if there is any development in his decision-making.

Auburn football lost all three scholarship quarterbacks from last season's roster to the transfer portal. One of those quarterbacks, Ashton Daniels, has locked in a starting role with Florida State. What is the status of the other two quarterbacks heading into the new season?
It was expected that Deuce Knight would sit behind Trinidad Chambliss at Ole Miss, but Jackson Arnold joined UNLV's roster with a fair chance of winning the starting quarterback job. However, he has not officially claimed it.
UNLV head coach Dan Mullen was asked about the quarterback situation in Las Vegas ahead of the Rebels' week zero game against Memphis at Allegiant Stadium, and shared that neither Arnold nor Alex Orji has claimed the starting job. Mullen claims that the starter will be dictated by the opening play of Saturday's game, which has yet to be drawn up. However, both quarterbacks will see the field on Saturday.
Arnold transferred to UNLV following the coaching change from Hugh Freeze to Alex Golesh, leaving Auburn after spending just one season. He was named the starting quarterback for the Tigers after spending two seasons with Oklahoma, and went on to start eight games for Auburn before the job was handed over to Ashton Daniels.
In 10 total appearances, Arnold passed for 1,309 yards and six touchdowns, adding 311 yards on the ground with eight touchdowns. Now with his third college program, Arnold hopes to find his stride with UNLV and become the quarterback he was projected to become as a five-star prospect out of high school.

Memphis football is officially in game week.
The Tigers will face UNLV in Las Vegas on Aug. 29 (9 p.m., FOX). And it's a game that could have College Football Playoff implications.
"There's so many different storylines," UNLV coach Dan Mullen said at his press conference on Aug. 24.
For one, the Tigers and Rebels will play on national television as one of the marquee games during the opening weekend of the season. Both teams are expected to compete near the top of their respective conferences, so it could be a game that gets talked about later in the season when potential playoff resumes are being compared.
"You won't feel it maybe after this game, but there's going to be a lot of discussion about this game as the season goes on," Mullen said. "Especially late into November. It can have a lot of implications on who's where for the playoff race."

The Jacksonville Jaguars' second week of preseason work delivered unexpected swings of highs and lows for Jaguars fans. After Wednesday's joint early practice domination of the Carolina Panthers and losing steam after the midpoint, Jacksonville failed to recreate their week one comeback magic on Friday, falling to the Carolina Panthers 34-17.
From players who strengthened their case in ongoing roster battles to those who left the joint practice and game week with more questions than answers, here are our stock-up and stock-down players following week two of preseason action at home.
QB Nick Mullens
Mullens was arguably the most encouraging story of the preseason game, at least through the first half. He opened the night completing six of his first seven attempts for 65 yards, a 9.3 yards-per-reception average that reflected a cleaner, more decisive version of the quarterback who struggled for stretches against the Saints in Week 1. His lone early incompletion was an Ameer Abdullah drop on second down that would have been a touchdown, and he rushed for a first down on the scoring drive.
Mullens found a real working partnership with rookies Josh Cameron and CJ Williams throughout the first half, distributing the ball efficiently and giving both rookies meaningful opportunities. Nick's improvement from Week 1 to Week 2 in early-drive efficiency was notable: zero turnovers, red-zone efficiency, and, most importantly, leading the offense against much of the Panthers' starting defense resulted in a quality bounce-back outcome.

The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on August 22 in Week 2 of the 2026 NFL preseason.
Despite their loss to the Los Angeles Rams last week, the Chiefs put together a solid all-around outing. Quarterback Justin Fields completed four passes for 41 yards in the first quarter before relinquishing his signal-calling duties to seventh-round pick quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who is likely to start for Kansas City on Saturday.
Rookie running back Emmit Johnson also exceeded expectations against Los Angeles and figures to play a key role in the Chiefs offense when star rusher Kenneth Walker III is taken off the field.
Here's everything fans need to know to watch Kansas City face Tampa Bay:

Florida football's new head coach Jon Sumrall has seen a great deal of success in his first two jobs, posting a 43-12 record evenly split over four years between Troy and Tulane. His latest gig in Gainesville will easily be the most challenging as he takes over a storied program that has experienced significant turmoil since Dan Mullen departed.
According to Sports Illustrated, the new Gators skipper is among the top 10 first-year coaches facing the most pressure entering the 2026 campaign. Sumrall checks in at No. 7 in the rankings, and author Patrick Andres explains why.
"If you want to single out a first-year coach with a schedule specifically set up to help them succeed, you could do much worse than Sumrall," he states. "After two years of breakneck slates under coach Billy Napier, Sumrall's Gators have navigable opening (Florida Atlantic, Campbell, Auburn) and closing (Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Florida State) stretches to dilute midseason tussles with Ole Miss, Texas, Georgia and Oklahoma. Florida still needs to find a quarterback, but if either Aaron Philo or Tramell Jones Jr. prove competent, fans could raise the bar for Year 1 immediately."
Over the past four years under Napier, the Orange and Blue accumulated a 22-23 record (and then 1-4 under interim HC Billy Gonzales), representing a brutal nadir for a program that went 33-15 under Mullen (plus a 1-1 record under interim HC Greg Knox) before him. The Gator Nation has suffered profusely this decade so far and is in dire need of some optimism after missing out on the postseason twice during that span.
There is no doubt that the pressure is all on Sumrall heading into fall.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to welcome the Carolina Panthers to town for joint practice on Wednesday, Aug. 19. The team is scheduled to conduct a 105 minute practice session with the Panthers from the Miller Electric Center.
They'll have the chance to go against another team as they continue to prepare for the start of the regular season. It's an opportunity to get game-like reps in a controlled setting.
Joint practices always bring forth competitive matchups between the two teams and this week isn't any different.
Mullens out?: Should Jaguars be worried about backup QB spot behind Trevor Lawrence?
Here are a few matchups to watch as the Jaguars host the Panthers for joint practice:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars are planning to play starters in their next preseason game, against Carolina on Friday night.
Coach Liam Coen said Monday he expects quarterback Trevor Lawrence and others to get "a couple drives, potentially" against the Panthers. It's a reversal for Coen, who previously had no intention of putting his first-team offense and defense at risk in any exhibitions.
"You just look at the amount of padded (practices) we actually have left until the game week, and it's very few and far between," Coen said. "You set a schedule, and timing and circumstances, things change and you have to pivot a little bit. ... I think we need a little bit more padded work against each other, good on good."
Jacksonville played no starters in its preseason opener at New Orleans on Saturday and rallied to win, 24-20. But a rash of injuries, most notably along the offensive line and at linebacker, prompted Coen to not hold practice in full pads Monday. Backup quarterback Nick Mullens and offensive tackle Chuma Edoga were among those who sat out practice.
The Jaguars have a joint practice (in full pads) scheduled with the Panthers on Wednesday. Coen made it clear that regardless of how things pan out this week, there's no chance any starters will play in the team's preseason finale against Tampa Bay on Aug. 28.

Retired Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Sunday the truth about the reported mental health concerns among service members on board the USS Abraham Lincoln is likely "somewhere in the middle."
During an interview on ABC News's "This Week," Mullen said he had "great concern" about conditions on the ship, which multiple outlets have reported.
"I know the commanding officer, in particular the commanding officer of the Lincoln, is working these issues hard," Mullen told host Martha Raddatz, referring to Capt. Daniel Keeler. "And I also believe the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle."
The USS Lincoln, with about 5,000 sailors and Marines on board, has been deployed since Nov. 21 — with the Navy extending the vessel's deployment in support of the U.S. war with Iran.
Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao announced earlier this week the Lincoln "will return home soon" to San Diego as part of a "planned rotation," with the USS George Washington set to take the former carrier's place in the U.S. Central Command theater.

The 2026 college football season is quickly nearing its opening kickoff, and ahead of the nation's favorite fall game, the sports media has been in overdrive publishing its preseason content.
Among them is ESPN writer David Hale, who recently ranked all 138 FBS teams into 19 distinct tiers. In his article, the Florida Gators landed among Tier 10, which he ****** led, "It has to get better. Right? Right?!?"
"Credit to Oklahoma State and Florida. They laid down their shovels after woeful 2025 campaigns and started climbing out with new head coaches... Jon Sumrall has talked the talk this offseason, winning over a beleaguered Florida fanbase that has seen a revolving door of once-successful coaches hit rock bottom in Gainesville."
While optimism is currently high in Gainesville entering the Sumrall era, the bar has been set low since Dan Mullen's departure, as exemplified by this particularly haunting stat.
"Florida is 29-37 since Marco Wilson threw a shoe against LSU in 2020. That's half a game worse than Rutgers over that same span."

The Detroit Lions have already found their replacement for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, adding veteran Josh Dobbs to the roster on Sunday, according to Dobbs' agent, Mike McCartney, on social media.
Dobbs, 31, is familiar with both the team and new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. He spent more than two weeks on Detroit's practice squad during the 2022 season but departed when the Tennessee ****** ans signed him to the active roster just 16 days later.
Dobbs was traded to Petzing's Arizona Cardinals during the 2023 preseason and wound up starting eight games, going 1-7 in that span. He completed 62.8% of his passes for 1,569 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions under Petzing.
The move comes just hours after Lions coach Dan Campbell announced that Bridgewater, who was expected to back up Jared Goff during the 2025 season, is stepping away from football.
Dobbs, a fourth-round pick out of Tennessee by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017, has made 27 career appearances and 15 starts since 2018. All but three of those starts came in 2023, when he was dealt to the Minnesota Vikings at the trade deadline as an emergency replacement for the injured Kirk Cousins. Dobbs went 2-2 with the Vikings but was ultimately benched for Nick Mullens.

The Jacksonville Jaguars now have six training camp practices under their belts. So given what we have learned, what does the offensive depth chart currently look like?
There is still time for players to make a push for playing time or a roster spot with several weeks of practices and three preseason games remaining. However, one week in, things are taking shape as well within each position group.
Here is where we believe things stand for the offense.

There are once again a lot of familiar quarterbacks in new places ahead of the 2026 college football season. Here are the most notable quarterbacks who changed schools during the offseason.
Arnold was Auburn's primary quarterback in 2025, but threw for just six touchdowns across 215 passing attempts in 10 games and transferred after Hugh Freeze's departure. The former highly touted Oklahoma recruit now heads west to play for former Florida coach Dan Mullen and hopes that his third school in four seasons will facilitate a breakout season.
With James Madison coach Bob Chesney now at UCLA, Barnett left for a power conference school too after leading the Dukes to the College Football Playoff in 2025. In two seasons as JMU's starter, Barnett threw for over 5,400 yards and 49 TDs to just 13 interceptions. He also rushed for 589 yards and 15 TDs in 2025.
The three-year starter at Iowa State will play his final season of college football in the Big Ten after following coach Matt Campbell to State College. Becht's stats dropped in 2025 as Iowa State won three fewer games than it did in 2024, but he tossed 64 career TDs and threw for 9,274 yards over 42 games with the Cyclones.
Boley was Kentucky's main quarterback in 2025 as the Mark Stoops era came to an ignominious end. Boley threw for 15 TDs and 12 interceptions in 2025 and now heads to Tempe as the favorite to start for coach Kenny Dillingham.

How will the Jon Sumrall era live on in Florida football history? With about a month to go before the Gators kick off the 2026 season, the biggest hope for now is that it's at least an improvement over the Billy Napier one.
The plug got pulled on Napier seven games into his fourth season, a barrier that no UF coach has crossed since Urban Meyer. The Gators haven't been in the College Football Playoff rankings since Dan Mullen coached them to the 2020 SEC championship game.
To turn that around, maybe a coach freshly removed from leading Tulane to the CFP will help. He knows he's got a stud at running back in Jadan Baugh, he of 1,170 yards and eight touchdowns in what was otherwise a dismal 4-8 campaign. Who starts at quarterback is a whole different manner: Georgia Tech transfer Aaron Philo is one of six transfers projected as starters at Ourlads, but redshirt freshman Tramell Jones Jr. could just as easily win the job.
There's still time to decide who best fits in new offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner's Air Raid scheme. The first two games of the season will (barring disaster the likes of the South Florida loss last season) serve as mere tune-ups for the SEC opener at Auburn and former USF two-way QB Byrum Brown. Then it's the big early test: a showdown with Trinidad Chambliss, Kewan Lacy and an Ole Miss team fresh off a CFP semifinal appearance.
If the Gators can tread water through the gauntlet of Texas, Georgia (in Atlanta as Jacksonville updates its stadium) and Oklahoma, there's hope they could lock down a solid bowl résumé against Florida State on Black Friday. And hey, maybe UF can end the year back in the CFP rankings.

Training camp will begin on Wednesday for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and while there is always the potential that GM James Gladstone could continue to make additions, the roster is set with practices about to begin.
The next month of practices and preseason games will determine playing time at certain positions, establish the pecking order on the depth chart, and ultimately who makes the 53-man roster and practice squad.
But before it all begins, let's take one last look at each position group on offense for the Jaguars and what's at stake within each unit.

Dubai: UAE left-arm pacer Muhammad Rohid believes the ILT20 has transformed the landscape for local cricketers by creating a clear pathway from domestic cricket to the professional stage.
Rohid's rise gathered fresh momentum when MI Emirates secured his services for $140,000 at the league's first-ever player auction ahead of Season 4. The deal made him the fifth-most expensive signing of the auction and underlined the growing confidence franchises have in homegrown UAE talent.
For Rohid, however, the significance extends beyond the financial reward.
"The biggest thing the ILT20 has done is create a clear pathway for UAE players," Rohid said. "Young cricketers can now see that if you perform well, opportunities will come, whether it's with a franchise or the national team. That's incredibly inspiring, and I hope my journey encourages more youngsters to believe they can achieve their dreams."
The left-arm seamer credits MI Emirates for accelerating his development through exposure to some of the world's leading T20 players. One of the defining moments of his campaign came in Qualifier 2, when he was told just 10 minutes before the toss that he would be playing. Rohid responded with an impressive spell of 2 for 19, dismissing Brandon McMullen and Liam Livingstone under pressure.
"The biggest lesson I learnt was to stay ready because opportunities can come at any moment," he said. "The environment taught me to trust my preparation, stay calm under pressure and back my skills."
Sharing the dressing room with stars such as Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Shakib Al Hasan also proved invaluable.
