Dušan Vlahović has finally brought the curtain down on his time at Juventus, with the former ***** nal target completing a free transfer to Beşiktaş after years of speculation linking him with a move to north London.
The Serbia international has signed a three-year contract until June 2029 after leaving Juventus at the end of his deal, ending a four-and-a-half-year spell in Turin during which he scored 68 goals, with 16 ***** ists, in 168 games.
Vlahović's move unites him with former ***** nal forward Leandro Trossard, who also joined Beşiktaş this summer, while bringing an end to one of the transfer sagas that repeatedly resurfaced around the Emirates.

Liverpool have got certain questions to answer over their midfield options.
Three players - Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajcetic are out of contract in 2027. Unless new deals are quickly wrapped up then Richard Hughes will face losing another three performers for nothing next summer.
Jones is closing in on a deal to join Inter Milan while teams in the Bundesliga and around the Premier League are thought to want Elliott.
Bajcetic is sought for a deal in his native Spain - with the Spaniard needing first-team football following his recovery from injury.
Other youngsters could also end up leaving Anfield this summer - albeit on loan.

The Atlanta Falcons registered their first unofficial game of the 2026 season, when they opened the Mercedes Benz Stadium up for a matchup against last year's AFC Finalist Denver Broncos.
Despite Michael Penix still not being cleared for full contact and Bijan Robinson also being held out, there was real excitement as new head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that the starters would play in the preseason in Atlanta for the first time in years.
That excitement was quickly dashed, however, as the Falcons found themselves down 24-0 at halftime, before mercifully going down with a whimper to the tune of a final scoreline of 27-7. This night showed that there was a lot of work still to do, with the regular season about a month away from kicking off.
This is a look at whose stock is pointing up after the first preseason game and whose is pointing down.
Jack Strand is looking to achieve the rare feat of becoming an undrafted rookie quarterback to make a 53-man NFL roster to start the season, and he looked by far the best quarterback that the Falcons deployed in this game. In fairness, it didn't take much to look better than Cooper Rush or Tua Tagovailoa (we'll get to them), but Strand looked like he belonged.

The Atlanta Falcons' 2026 NFL preseason opener turned into an array of online banter after Tua Tagovailoa's tough start with the franchise.
Regular season play is still weeks away from launching the new NFL season. However, Falcons fans are growing restless after Tagovailoa's brutal opening drive against the Denver Broncos.
MORE: Steelers' Keeanu Benton makes franchise history with massive extension
Kevin Stefanski opted to give Tagovailoa just one series during Friday night's preseason opener. Although, that quick spell of plays was enough to create an outpour of online memes and criticism.
The former college football standout passed for just 22 yards and nearly fumbled a snap while falling to the ground. However, the most viral clip of the evening came when Michael Penix Jr. is seen pointing at Tua during an awkward encounter.

Given how long Sean Payton spent in the past coaching the New Orleans Saints, perhaps it should come as no surprise to fans that he loves any excuse he can get to troll the Atlanta Falcons. And he found a prime opportunity to do so as his current team, the Denver Broncos, visited the Falcons to open the preseason on Friday.
The Broncos took no time in getting back to looking like the team that captured the AFC's No. 1 seed in the playoffs last year, jumping out to a 24-0 lead at the halftime break before eventually capturing a 27-7 win. And when interviewed at halftime, Payton also took no time in finding a way to add insult to injury with a reference to a lackluster turnout by Falcons fans
"A lot of people dressed up as empty seats today," Payton quipped.
Of course, the fans who were in attendance weren't feeling too chipper about Atlanta's performance either, with boos being showered down upon the team as they hit the locker room at the end of the first half. So while Payton wasn't impressed with the fan turnout, those who did make their way to the game didn't seem to feel there was much reason to return.
The Falcons totaled just 192 yards of offense and turned the ball over twice in the loss, which doesn't paint the most optimistic picture of what the Kevin Stefanski era might look like. But the Broncos, on the other hand, looked every bit the elite defense that they were in 2025 – indicating that their reign atop the AFC might not yet be finished.

NEW YORK/MILAN, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Global equities rose on Thursday as investors pared back their bets on a U.S. rate hike, while oil prices fell more than 2% as higher inventories and lower global demand forecasts offset geopolitical concerns.
U.S. producer price data, which was unchanged in July, reduced expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike next month, helping tech stocks power the S&P 500 to an intraday record high.
The data followed Wednesday's consumer price report, which showed U.S. prices rose 3.4% in the 12 months through July, in line with economists' expectations.
Traders scaled back their bets on a September rate hike, pricing in a 65% probability of the Fed staying on hold next month versus 50% on Wednesday.

Tua Tagovailoa's Falcons debut on Friday showed that he and the rest of the Atlanta offense have some work to do.
Granted, it was a brief outing, with Tagovailoa only playing two series with the starters in Atlanta against the Denver Broncos, and it wasn't the full lineup. RB Bijan Robinson and RT Jawaan Taylor both sat out, and Drake London only played a few snaps.
But even against a good Denver defense that fielded some of its starting unit, the Falcons' offense showed little of the firepower they're hoping for in the regular season, with their three main playmakers back.
On Tagovailoa's first series, the Falcons went three and out. Tua dropped a shotgun snap that hit him squarely in the hands, leading to a sack, and they punted one play later.
The second series wasn't much better. The Broncos were getting pressure often, with Tagovailoa having to throw multiple passes away. He was hit hard on third down, which might have led head coach Kevin Stefanski to say no mas.

A former champion at the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Masters was knocked out on Friday by a South American clay-courter while the tournament's 2022 finalist survived into the second round.
With 64 seeds in the men's and women's draw of the last major warm-up prior to the August 30 US Open only going into action from Saturday, interest focused on the fate of 2017 winner Grigor Dimitrov and 2022 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The popular Dimitrov was unable to hold onto a 4-1 lead in the third set against Argentine Sebastian Baez, exiting in the first round 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 as he lost the last five games of the encounter.
The 35-year-old Dimitrov, his ranking down to 138 and playing on a wild card, was bidding for his first Cincinnati victory in five years.
Baez goes on to next play American Learner Tien, a semi-finalist this week in Montreal.

A new chapter begins for the Atlanta Falcons tonight as they host the Denver Broncos in their first preseason game of the year. It's also the first game ever under new head coach Kevin Stefanski, general manager Ian Cunningham and president of football Matt Ryan.
Atlanta did a good job of locking up its best players with contract extensions this offseason (Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson, Matthew Bergeron) but there hasn't been much excitement around the new players they've brought in.
At the top of the list are the team's top two draft picks, second-round cornerback Avieon Terrell and wide receiver Zachariah Branch. Both have been ranked among the NFL's top 100 rookies in a new list by Bleacher Report. Terrell came in at No. 43 in their rankings.
"The spot "in front" of Avieon Terrell on the Falcons depth chart is Mike Hughes, who is an experienced but below-average corner. Terrell is a competitor who showcases excellent zone coverage and plays bigger than his size. If he can snare the starting job opposite his brother, who wouldn't want to see that happen?!"
Terrell has shown some promise at training camp, including a pick off Tua Tagovailoa. However, he is dealing with an undisclosed injury that may keep him out of Friday night's preseason opener.

Despite all their talent on both sides of the ball, the Atlanta Falcons have been getting consistently disrespected in power rankings and projections from the national media this offseason. Fully healthy and with a decent starting quarterback, Atlanta should be able to take the NFC South division this year.
However, it seems few around the league are buying what Kevin Stefanski and Co. are selling. In fact, some ***** ysts are predicting a last-place finish for the Falcons in the league's worst division.
That includes Moe Moton at Bleacher Report, who has Atlanta ending the year at 5-12, good for fourth place.
"Atlanta won't be able to slow down opponents without a respectable pass rush. According to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Falcons edge-rusher James Pearce Jr. has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing police and resisting an officer with violence... Pearce has not been convicted of any offense. Last week, fellow edge-rusher Jalon Walker tore his ACL. If Tua Tagovailoa wins the starting quarterback job over Michael Penix Jr., who is still recovering from knee surgery, he will need another 4,600-plus-yard passing season to keep the Falcons out of the NFC South basement."
The twin blows of losing Jalon Walker for the year to an ACL tear and the coming suspension of Pearce (likely for at least half the season) have several ***** ysts down on Atlanta going into the preseason, understandably.

HAVANA, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Gasoline at $38 a gallon sold from cramped apartments. Diesel hawked on Instagram by a celebrity model to a reggaeton soundtrack. Six decades after Fidel Castro's revolution, all of a sudden, capitalist cracks are appearing in Cuba's communist energy sector.
Under Washington's crippling oil embargo against Cuba, an exception that allows U.S. firms to export fuel to private Cuban businesses has kickstarted a chaotic black market and pried the lid off an energy sector tightly controlled by the state ever since Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House.
Oil shipments from Cuba's traditional suppliers Venezuela and Mexico ended abruptly after the U.S. ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January. U.S. Coast Guard cutters patrol the waters off Cuba, while sanctions and threats have dissuaded tankers from even setting sail.
The embargo has hobbled essential state-run services like the healthcare system, public transport and schools. But under the Commerce Department exception, a trickle of gasoline and diesel is reaching private restaurants, retailers and taxis, the first significant landings of U.S. fuel on the Caribbean island since Castro nationalized refineries after the 1959 revolution.

The Minnesota Vikings' most pressing question of 2026 training camp has a front-runner: Kyler Murray. On the latest episode of The Real Forno Show — a Vikings 1st & SKOL production on the Bleav Network — host Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano break down the quarterback competition between Murray and J.J. McCarthy, roster bubble battles, offensive line questions, and some rising stars worth watching before the preseason opener against the New York Giants.
The central argument from Forness is not about flashy stats — it's about processing. "The processing of both quarterbacks is going to be the differentiator in this quarterback competition," Forness said. While McCarthy has had flashes, Forness sees a fundamental inconsistency: "McCarthy is not doing enough to show that he has improved significantly from, quite frankly, a really poor overall 2025 season." ESPN's Dan Graziano reportedly confirmed Murray is the "clubhouse leader," and Forness agrees — but he frames the ceiling realistically: "If whoever starts is QB 16, this team could be a Super Bowl threat."
QB Competition: Murray leads, per ESPN's Dan Graziano. Forness argues McCarthy's processing remains at a sub-starter level despite some better moments in recent practices.
Kevin O'Connell's telling quote: "There have been some new layers to our offense… it might be a small detail, but it's important and it affects the visual outcome of the play." Forness believes this context explains many of Murray's surface-level miscues.
Tai Felton & Ivan Pace Jr.: Forness admits he was wrong on Felton: "He deserves a lot of credit for that." Pace's improved lateral coverage and multiple PBUs have also turned heads.

Football finance expert Stefan Borson says the consortium comprising of billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, British-Indian millionaire businessman Amit Bhatia and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin is "one of the wealthiest to have ever gone after a football club".
BBC Sport has been told the group have advanced its talks to buy about a 30% stake in Liverpool.
Owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) confirmed last month that the group had "expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club".
"I don't think there's any suggestion of a full sale yet," said Borson on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "But we have to be realistic.

Minnesota Vikings training camp 2026 has one burning question on every fan's mind: do the Vikings have a quarterback who can win in the NFC North? After nine practices, Two Old Bloggers — Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano on Vikings 1st & SKOL — are sounding the alarm. The honest answer, delivered with trademark candor, is unsettling: both Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy have been, in the words of reporter Tyler Forness, "just fine." And fine may not be enough to beat Jordan Love, Jared Goff, or Caleb Williams.
The quarterback competition has dominated Vikings coverage, and for good reason. Murray has received roughly twice the first-team reps as McCarthy, raising legitimate questions about whether Kevin O'Connell has already decided the outcome. But rep count aside, neither signal-caller has seized the moment. As Darren put it bluntly: "The second worst outcome is what we have right now — both guys are so-so. ****** ody's really running away with it." Dave echoed the concern, noting that a viral tweet framed it perfectly: Kyler should be proving he's light years ahead of J.J., not the other way around. A Mike Sando survey of 50 NFL coaches and executives reinforced the worry — Murray ranked 23rd overall (Tier 3), McCarthy 34th (Tier 4), and every NFC North rival QB ranked ahead of them.
Beyond the QB room, however, genuine reasons for optimism are emerging — and Two Old Bloggers covered them all.
Charles Demmings (CB, 5th round) is making plays daily against Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings — the Vikings haven't drafted and developed a quality corner since Xavier Rhodes in 2013
Caleb Banks (DT, #18 overall) is fully participating with no reported foot issues — a massive win after multiple surgeries; he's being worked in gradually alongside Levi Drake Rodriguez, Jaylen Redmond, and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins

Wolfsburg put at least five million euros on the table for Muhammed Damar. That makes him the second-most expensive signing of the relegated club and, naturally, he is expected to be a key player. At first glance, that doesn't sound like much, but for both sides it could be the biggest risk they have taken this summer — or even in their careers.
The reason: throughout his career so far, the 22-year-old talent has often made some pretty poor decisions when it came to transfers or new contracts. Too often, otherwise more people would probably already have his name on their radar.
Damar, who was regarded early on as an attacking player with enormous potential, began his career at three Berlin clubs. He was developed there and then ended up at TSG Hoffenheim at the age of 18.
Shortly after that, the run of rather poor club choices began. After one year with the Sinsheim side, he moved on loan to Hannover 96 in the 2. Bundesliga in 2023 in order to gain playing time.
That backfired completely. Shortly after his arrival, coach Stefan Leitl ruthlessly cast him aside. Instead of being on the pitch — or at least on the bench in second-division stadiums — he was sent to the second team.

Francisco Ortega is a new River Plate player. The defender signed his contract alongside the club's president, Stefano Di Carlo, as confirmed by the club in an official statement.
Ortega's deal with River runs until December 31, 2030, after the end of his spell at Olympiacos.
Ortega will now be at the disposal of Eduardo Coudet, the first-team coach. His arrival strengthens a defensive area that the manager has been shaping in recent transfer windows.
The club did not detail the financial terms of the deal in its statement, but Argentine media estimate it at five million euros.
River have thus added another signing to their squad ahead of upcoming commitments. Ortega will have to earn his place in Coudet's system on the training ground.

KYIV, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Olha Stefanishyna, dismissed as Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S. earlier this week, is suspected of illegal enrichment and failing to declare ****** ets, authorities said on Thursday, the latest high-ranking official targeted in an anti-graft probe.
Prosecutors said Stefanishyna, who served as a deputy prime minister before being appointed ambassador, concealed two apartments and other ****** ets worth about $310,000 in total that could not have been acquired on her official salary alone.
Authorities did not identify Stefanishyna by name, in line with Ukrainian law, but referred to the position she held when the alleged offences took place, from early 2024 to mid-2025.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, she denied wrongdoing and said she has never had anything to hide.
Her dismissal comes amid a recent shake-up of senior officials, including the prime minister and defence minister, that has unsettled Ukraine's political establishment.

The dispute between Sebastiano Esposito and Cagliari has escalated sharply, with the striker's agent threatening legal action after the club's director general appeared to accuse his side of attempted "extortion."
According to calciomercato.com, Cagliari DG Stefano Melis described the situation as "almost an attempt at extortion", a characterisation that drew a furious response from Esposito's agent, Mario Giuffredi, speaking to TuttoCagliari.net.
Giuffredi said he did not know Melis, who he insisted had never been present at the negotiations, and rejected the accusation outright. "He should be ashamed of having used the word 'extortion'," the agent said. "In our world, there is no room for that word."

Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson have both been on the job for roughly a week now, getting to see how first-year head coach Todd Monken runs training camp. Both are competing to become the next starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, and oddly enough, they've both already done the job before.
Yet, this time, as Monken has stressed since the moment he accepted the job, it's a clean slate. While Sanders and Watson came to learn what Kevin Stefanski was looking for, what will set the competition apart in Monken's mind?
Just in case there's still any doubt left in their minds, Browns general manager Andrew Berry just laid the foundation for what the respective QBs need to do to win the starting job.
Appearing on ESPN's "This is Football" with Kevin Clark, Berry revealed what he's looking for from his quarterbacks.
"I think the big thing is, operating and decision-making," Berry said. "You think about quarterback, right, the ball's gonna be in that player's hand, whether they throw it, run it, hand it off, you know, call it 60 times a game, so there's a set of at least 60 decisions that player's going to make.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has opened up about his decision to end his coaching relationship with his father, Apostolos, while shedding light on his current partnership with coach Thomas Perrin. The Greek also highlighted the unique challenge of father-son coaching dynamics, while expressing his admiration for Ben Shelton's partnership with his father, Bryan.
Although Tsitsipas' father played a significant role in his career as his primary coach, their partnership was often turbulent, with the pair seen arguing during matches. Shortly before Wimbledon, the former world No. 3 confirmed that he had ended their coaching relationship for good, emphasizing that the split was permanent, unlike their brief separation in 2024.
Tsitsipas has since gone on to triumph at the Swiss Open Gstaad, ending a 16-month wait for his 13th tour-level **** le. After kicking off his North American hardcourt swing with a first-round loss to Alex de Minaur at the Mubadala DC Open, he entered the qualifiers for the Canadian Open.
The Greek defeated Keegan Rice 6-3, 6-4 to reach the main draw of the ATP Masters 1000 event in Montréal. He then claimed a dominant 6-4, 6-4 win over Martin Damm Jr. in the first round.
During his post-match press conference, Tsitsipas admitted that his coaching partnership with Thomas Perrin should have started much earlier. He said he had been "too patient" and "too nice" in the past, seemingly alluding to his dynamic with his father.

Where to watch Falcons preseason games 2026: Full schedule, times, TV channels, live streams for Atlanta originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Atlanta Falcons will look to get back to their winning ways in 2026 with a new head coach and, possibly, a new starting quarterback.
Kevin Stefanski joins Atlanta after years leading the Browns and will now have to choose between former first-round pick Michael Penix Jr. and Dolphins castoff Tua Tagovailoa to start under center.
The offense retained its three key playmakers in running back Bijan Robinson, tight end Kyle Pitts and receiver Drake London.
The defense is anchored in the secondary by safeties Jessie Bates III and Xavier Watts, alongside rookie cornerback Avieon Terrell, the brother of the Falcons' A.J. Terrell.

Former Washington Huskies star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has taken the next step in his rehab from a torn ACL as he aims to regain his starting job with the Atlanta Falcons.
During the early days of training camp, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, after leading the Huskies to a 25-3 record in his two years as a starter and finishing as the runner-up for the 2023 Heisman Trophy, was seen participating in individual and 7-on-7 drills, but he is not yet cleared to return to full team periods of practice.
After making such a significant investment through the draft in the rocket-armed lefty, the Falcons are playing it safe, and based on Penix's recent comments, that may be the best decision.
"To be honest, I've been feeling really good," Penix told the media on Wednesday. "I feel like I can do everything, but I have to still be smart about it. I can't afford to have somebody trip and fall and land on me right now."
With veteran quarterback Tua Tagovailoa also sidelined with a sore back, Penix has an opportunity to show off his arm talent to new head coach Kevin Stefanski. He made one of the biggest plays at practice on Wednesday, completing a 45-yard touchdown to rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch in a 7-on-7 period, displaying his elite ability to push the ball down the field.

Mainz 05, in something of a reversal of the operating plan earlier this summer, are working to bring Austrian international Stefan Posch back to the Bundesliga on a permanent basis. Sky Germany reports that the Rheinhessen club have opened negotiations with Serie A side Como 1907 following the conclusion of Posch's successful six-month loan. Mainz are reportedly prepared to stretch their financial limits to secure the 29-year-old defender.
Mainz were recently buoyed by the fact that Nadiem Amiri opted to remain with the club through the entirety of the 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign. Signing Posch would constitute another major coup. Thanks to the fact that the club's front office has been largely frugal on the summer transfer market, the Palatinate club is currently operating with an estimated €5.2m transfer surplus.
Mainz first explored a move for Posch during the winter transfer window after he struggled for regular playing time in Italy. The final transaction ultimately required cooperation between three clubs. Como activated an obligation to purchase Posch from Bologna for approximately €5.5m before immediately loaning the defender to Mainz for the remainder of the campaign.
Mainz did not secure a purchase option. The Bundesliga club reportedly paid a loan fee of approximately €200,000, leaving M05 sporting CEO Christian Heidel and his colleagues needing to negotiate an entirely new agreement this summer.
Posch nevertheless made an immediate impact. He started against Wolfsburg only two days after his arrival and delivered a composed performance in a crucial victory, as noted in Get German Football News' Mainz January transfer check.

Inter and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly 'reached a verbal agreement' over the transfer of Argentine defender Cristian Romero. According to ESPN Argentina via Calciomercato, Spurs have accepted the Serie A champions' €40 million bid for their captain.
Despite completing the signing of John Stones, who left Manchester City as a free agent at the end of last season, Inter are looking to add another center-back to Cristian Chivu's star-studded squad. Indeed, the Nerazzurri have parted ways with three defenders this summer and must reinforce their depleted backline.
Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, and Stefan de Vrij are now part of the club's history. On the bright side, Inter have tied Yann Bisseck down to a new long-term contract and are seemingly set to keep Alessandro Bastoni. Moreover, they've purchased Manuel Akanji after an impressive season-long loan.
However, they want to sign another top-class defender.
Romero has gone from strength to strength since leaving Serie A for Tottenham in 2021. Over the past five years, the 28-year-old has established himself as one of the most dependable center-backs in Europe's top-five leagues, let alone the Premier League.

Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is not fully participating in training camp as he seeks a new contract. Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski is not concerned about that.
Asked about his own communications with Robinson, Stefanski declined to get into specifics, but he said he was confident that the two sides are doing everything they can.
"I don't think it's fair to share those types of things," Stefanski said. "We all trust in the process of what's going on."
Stefanski says he doesn't hold it against Robinson that he is choosing not to practice until he gets the contract he wants.
"The NFL, you understand different things come up via all sorts of things, and contracts obviously are a part of that. It doesn't change relationships," Stefanski said.

The Atlanta Falcons completed their fourth training camp practice this afternoon in Flowery Branch, Georgia. Fans poured into IBM Performance Field for the team's official "Back Together Saturday" event.
Matt Ryan even made an appearance, however, he stuck to his role as president of football and did not fill in at quarterback like fans probably hoped. On the bright side, Ryan and general manager Ian Cunningham got another one of the team's core players signed to a long-term deal.
In today's Falcons Wire Recap, Matthew Bergeron gets a contract extension, Kevin Stefanski praises James Pearce and Zachariah Branch, Jawaan Taylor's return timeline is revealed and we round up the best clips from Saturday's open practice.

According to NFL insiders Mike Garafolo and Jeremy Fowler, Bergeron's new deal is a four-year, $96 million contract that includes $60 million in guaranteed money. Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham already re-signed Drake London and Kyle Pitts, and he was happy to reward another core player with a new contract.

Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa spoke about the back issue that has limited him in practice this week for the first time on Friday.
Tagovailoa said at a press conference that he started feeling "just some tightness" in his back sometime last week and that led to the decision for him to sit out Wednesday's opening practice of training camp. Tagovailoa has done limited practice work the last couple of days and said that the current plan is to continue taking things slow because of where they are in the calendar.
"I think just right now, it's just a precaution thing early on in camp and then we'll work through that," Tagovailoa said. "I feel great right now. Like I said, it feels good to be out there with the guys, be able to throw, continue to hear the plays, get in the huddle with the guys. All of that."
Tagovailoa said this is the first time he's experienced the back issue and that he's done a lot of work in a pool with the training staff to relieve the tension he's been under.
As of now, there's no timetable for when Tagovailoa will move up to a full practice workload but there wasn't much sign of concern from him or head coach Kevin Stefanski about how long it will be until that time arrives.
