The Detroit Lions will be without Isiah Pacheco considerably longer than originally hoped.
Dan Campbell revealed Monday that the veteran running back underwent surgery and will be "out awhile." Campbell did not specify whether the procedure addressed Pacheco's knee or back, the two injuries that derailed his first training camp in Detroit.
That is a rough turn for a player the Lions signed in March expecting him to provide a physical complement to Jahmyr Gibbs. Pacheco arrived in Detroit after four seasons with Kansas City, where he rushed for 2,537 yards and won two Super Bowls.
Pacheco initially suffered a sprained MCL during training camp. At the time, Campbell believed the Lions had avoided a major problem, something we covered when Detroit first received encouraging news on the injury.
The knee later improved, but a back issue emerged late in camp and became the larger concern. Detroit ultimately placed Pacheco on injured reserve before Week 1, guaranteeing he would miss at least the first four games.

Coming off the Indianapolis Colts' Week 1 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Shane Steichen said that wide receiver Alec Pierce's left hand/wrist is fine, according to Mike Chappell of FOX59.
Following Sunday's game, Chappell wrote that Pierce briefly exited the game and was taken to the locker room after his left wrist hit the helmet of Ravens' linebacker Roquan Smith at some point in the first half.
Chappell added that Pierce's X-rays came back negative. He then spoke to the Colts' wideout about the injury after the game.
"It's good,'' Pierce told Chappell. "I just bruised up my hand. No worries.''
Pierce underwent offseason ankle surgery that landed him on the PUP list for much of training camp. He has spent the past few weeks ramping up, which included taking on a smaller role in Sunday's game.

According to Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji is continuing his rehabilitation after undergoing surgery on a serious knee injury, although he still faces a lengthy road back to competitive action.
The 20-year-old Swedish winger suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during pre-season, a significant injury that is expected to keep him out for much of the season.
Bardghji underwent successful surgery on 12 August and, one month later, has shared a photograph from the gym at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper as he continues working through his recovery programme.
The Barcelona youngster is still using crutches and wearing protection on his injured knee, but his latest update shows that rehabilitation is already under way.

For the third consecutive offseason, Ohio State's coaching staff underwent a significant change as Ryan Day had to replace one of his coordinators.
And for the second consecutive time, Day looked to the NFL for an answer.
Following Brian Hartline's departure for a Group of Five head coaching opportunity, Day tabbed former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith to take over play-calling duties for a Buckeyes offense headlined by Heisman Trophy hopefuls Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith.
REQUIRED READING: Arthur Smith made his mark in a high-achieving family. Can he leave one at Ohio State?
Smith is the latest big name to come to Columbus to be part of Day's staff, following in the footsteps of former offensive coordinator Chip Kelly — a decision that kick-started this trend as it came when Day gave up his play-calling duties — and Matt Patricia, who willed the Buckeyes' defense into one of the nation's top units last season.

As Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs looked at how much time was left in the season and how much further the lefty had to go in his rehab, they came to the realization that starting was no longer an option for this season. If Steele was going to help the Cubs in the big leagues this season, it was going to have to come out of the bullpen.
"We just didn't have enough time to get built up to start," Steele said in an interview with the Des Moines Register on Sept. 10.
The Chicago Cubs ace allowed two runs on four hits with three strikeouts in two innings out of the bullpen against Toledo in a rehabilitation ****** ignment outing with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs at Principal Park on Sept. 10.
"I feel good," Steele said afterward. "Not giving up too hard of contact. I'd like my velo to be a little bit better but it's part of the process."
The process has been a long one for Steele, an All-Star for the Cubs in 2023. The southpaw, who hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2025, underwent Tommy John surgery and was originally slated to return to the mound sometime at the midway point of 2026.

Qinwen Zheng's incredible US Open run has now come to an end.
Zheng underwent elbow surgery last year and had since struggled to rediscover the form that helped her reach world number four in the WTA rankings, an Australian Open final and win Olympic gold.
As a result, Zheng had dropped down the rankings and had to play qualifying at the US Open as the world number 121.
Not only did Zheng come through qualifying, but she made it all the way to the quarter-finals and she will now be rewarded in the WTA rankings.

Mike McFarland, who lent his voice to many classic anime, died Wednesday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 56.
McFarland is known to anime fans as the voice actor for "Dragon Ball Z" characters like Master Roshi and Yajirobe and the "One Piece"character Buggy the Clown. His work was impressively robust. He also famously voiced a pair of Jeans – Jean Kirstein in "Attack on ****** an" and Jean Havoc in "Fullmetal Alchemist" – along with Teppei Sugo in "Psycho-Pass" and Tecchin Tecchikawahara in "Demon Slayer."
"Mike brought so much to all of us who knew him, and to all of the anime fans that knew his work," anime streaming service Crunchyroll said in a statement regarding McFarland's death. "He was an incredible talent, a good friend to so many of us and will be sorely, sorely missed."
McFarland had diagnosed with a brain tumor several years ago. Fellow voice actors J. Michael Tatum and Brandon McInnis started a GoFundMe back in August 2025 to help McFarland pay for a live-in medical ****** istant after he underwent surgery for aggressive glioblastoma.
"Mike McFarland, my dear friend and mentor of over 20 years, is gone," Tatum posted. "A rarer, more beautiful soul this world will never know. Rest in peace, Salt. The love you created endures, but ****** ed if I know how we'll get on without you around to share it back with."

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.

Bayern Munich will face Bodo/Glimt in their first Champions League game of the new campaign on Thursday night at the Allianz Arena.
The Bavarian giants are loaded with top-class attacking talent, but they can become even stronger with Jamal Musiala returning to full fitness.
Ahead of the match, here is the latest injury update on Bayern Munich's players.
Back in August, during pre-season, Musiala complained of dizziness and circulatory problems before collapsing on the pitch.
In July, Musiala underwent a minor, planned operation after returning from the World Cup. The club removed the metal plate from his foot, and it was expected that he would be able to play without any pain.

Christian Mahogany and Ben Bartch will split reps at left guard in practice for the Detroit Lions this week and the team could use both players in their season opener Sunday, Sept. 13, against the New Orleans Saints, Lions coach Dan Campbell said.
"Yeah, we could," Campbell said. "[Tuesday] they're going to split. I see them splitting on Thursday, I see them splitting on Friday, and then if nothing's been decided by then, then maybe they both play."
Mahogany started 11 games at left guard for the Lions last season and handled most of the first-team reps at the position this summer, while Bartch was recovering from injuries.
Bartch underwent Lisfranc surgery last year while playing for the San Francisco 49ers and missed time with a concussion in training camp.
Campbell praised Bartch's play in camp but said Aug. 20 he did not think there was enough time for Bartch to win the starting job. The Lions signed Bartch this offseason with thoughts of having an open competition at left guard.

When he's healthy, San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa is one of the best pass rushers in the entire league. And despite questions about his health, it sounds like he'll be ready to go for the team's season opener.
Bosa tore his ACL last season and has been recovering ever since. While he may not be back to 100 percent just yet, it sounds like he'll be on the field.
During a game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 21 of 2025, Bosa tore his ACL and underwent surgery just a few days later. That recovery, however, has not exactly gone according to plan.
As Bosa was coming back from his injury over the summer, he experienced a bit of a setback with soreness and tendinitis in his right knee, leading the 49ers to shut him down until Sept. 2, when he returned to practice.
All of that has led to some concern about whether or not he will be ready when the team takes the field in Australia this week, but it sounds like he's going to be there.

Tight end George Kittle traveled with the 49ers to Australia, which was a sign he would play in Thursday night's season opener. It sounds like Kittle will play, but how much remains to be seen.
"It's been pretty cool to see Kittle out there looking like himself, looking fresh," offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. "How that affects him on game day and what the workload is, that will be determined. But he looks good to me.
"He's practicing full speed. He's getting a ton of reps. So I feel like we're in good shape."
Kittle tore his right Achilles in a Jan. 11 playoff game against the Eagles. He underwent surgery three days later, with Rams team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache repairing Kittle's Achilles.
Kittle made his seventh career Pro Bowl last season despite playing only 11 regular-season games due to hamstring and ankle injuries. He recorded 57 receptions for 628 yards and seven touchdowns.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has made another major real estate move, adding a historic lakefront estate in his home state of Ohio to the extensive collection of properties owned by him and his wife, Taylor Swift.
Kelce purchased the $5.35 million property in Bratenahl, a village just outside Cleveland, in March, according to The Wall Street Journal. The move brings the Cleveland Heights native back to Northeast Ohio while giving the couple another large private residence.
The purchase follows years of real estate moves for both Kelce and Swift. Kelce previously bought homes in two Kansas City-area neighborhoods, while Swift has ******* embled a portfolio spanning Nashville, New York City, Rhode Island and California.
Kelce's latest acquisition is known as Moyenage, a more than 21,000-square-foot Elizabethan Tudor-style mansion overlooking Lake Erie.
Built in 1904 for iron and steel manufacturer Jay Morse, the home sits on approximately 3.5 acres and includes eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. According to FreshWater Cleveland, the property underwent a yearlong restoration before Kelce purchased it.

The newly renovated Memorial Gym on the UTEP campus, home to the university's volleyball team, debuted to a sold-out crowd Sunday, Aug. 30.
Memorial Gym underwent extensive renovations in the offseason as part of the Club Memorial project. The upgrades include new lower-level chairback seating, LED lighting, an upgraded sound system, Taraflex competition flooring, enhanced MinerVision production equipment and several additional fan experience improvements.
The volleyball team is looking for a third consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament.
The Texas Western Miners, now UTEP Miners, gave El Paso fans their first look at the new Memorial Gym at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, 1961, when they opened their 1961-62 season in the 4,300-seat gym.
The gym was completed just a few days before the home opener. The Miners returned from their three-game opening road trip, having only a few practice sessions on the new playing surface.

Zac Thornton entered today's game with a 2.93 ERA in 11 starts. It's been quite the surprising season for the rookie lefty, who has managed those impressive topline numbers despite boasting less than flashy stuff and underlying peripherals. Alas, those topline numbers look a little bit worse after today's game, as Thornton underwent his worst start as a major leaguer, and the Mets were not able to work themselves out of the hole he put them in, resulting in a 9-5 loss to the Giants.
San Francisco struck within minutes of the game's start, as Rafael Devers socked Thornton's fourth pitch of the afternoon over the right field wall for a one-out solo homer. The Mets answered back in the bottom of the second when A.J. Ewing—who has been struggling mightily in the second-half—socked a two-out, two-run homer off Giants starter Anthony Molina. That gave the Amazins a 2-1 lead, but unfortunately they would not hold it for long. Thornton surrendered a lead-off single in the third inning, followed by a two-run blast to Christian Koss to put the Giants back in front.
Thornton went on to retire his next eight batters, right up until Koss—who entered today's game with just one homer this season—came to the plate again in the top of the fifth, and he hit his second home run of the afternoon. Not to be outdone, Devers came up two batters later following a single and socked his second home run of the day. Thornton surrendered one hit—a double from Bryce Eldridge, the fourth straight two-out hit of the inning—before finally retiring the Giants, but it was now a 6-2 ballgame.
Meanwhile, the Mets's bats did little against Molina after Ewing's homer (that hit in fact remained the only one surrendered by the Giants through six innings). Both teams went to their bullpens in the sixth inning—albeit with Molina's final line looking a lot better than Thornton's ugly one (5 innings, 7 hits, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts, 6 runs). Chris Devenski was the first reliever up for the Mets, and he did his job by tossing two scoreless innings. The bats finally got something going in the bottom of the seventh, when two singles and a walk loaded the bases with one out. Francisco Alvarez struck out swinging for the second out, but the Mets then finally got another run on the board when Brett Baty walked to bring in a run and make it 6-3. Alas, the potential tying run was stranded, as Francisco Lindor grounded out to first to end the threat.
And the Giants quickly acted to make sure the Mets would not continue to claw their way back into the game. Jefry Yan took the mound in the top of the eighth and issued a one-out walk to Eldridge, followed by a two-run homer from Osleivis Basabe. That made it 8-3, but San Francisco still wasn't quite done. Justin Hagenman pitched the ninth, and just like every non-Devenski Mets pitcher of the day, he surrendered a homer—this one a one-out solo shot for Grant McCray. That made it six dingers for the Giants, in case you weren't keeping count.

The Tennessee Volunteers have taken the field once again for another football season, and they've got a new pup leading the charge for glory as Smokey XII.
The 2-year-old − who will celebrate a ceremonial birthday alongside the university on Sept. 10 − follows in the paw prints of his 11 predecessors to become the first rescue dog to ***** ume the role as the University of Tennessee at Knoxville's mascot.
He dashed through the Power T formed by the Pride of the Southland Marching Band to start the season with the Sept. 5 opening game in Neyland Stadium against Furman.
UT unveiled Smokey XII in March after a search began in late 2025 to replace Smokey XI, who had to retire due to a reserved temperament that made him uncomfortable in public.
It was through East Tennessee's bluetick ***** hound rescue community that Smokey veterinarian Dr. Zenithson Ng first learned about Neyland, whose "bold, courageous and outgoing personality" immediately stood out upon meeting the young hound in December. Neyland underwent training to fit comfortably into the position before making his Big Orange debut at the Orange and White spring game.

After competing in the British and Aragon grands prix, Pol Espargaro will contest next week's San Marino Grand Prix with Tech3 KTM, replacing Maverick Vinales.
Vinales continues to recover from the injury he suffered last year to his left shoulder, in a qualifying crash at the Sachsenring. Since then, he's had ups and downs in his recovery.
Vinales had to miss several races early in 2026 and eventually underwent surgery on 1 April to have a screw removed from the affected area which supposedly was the cause of his problems.
Despite the operation, the Spaniard has failed to and, since returning at Barcelona in mid-May, his performances and results have never been close to expectations.
It was expected that Vinales could return in form after the summer break, but he has been kept away from the track by his physical problems and the KTM/Tech3 conflict over his contract. Last month, Motorsport.com revealed KTM intended to drop Vinales altogether for the remainder of the season.

For years now, fans of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence have speculated that she underwent plastic surgery to enhance her ageless looks, with many believing that she had an entire facelift done.
Jennifer finally admitted to the cosmetic enhancements she had received over the years and shared the one procedure she would never dare to do.
Jennifer shared that she had received baby Botox in the past (@ Penske Media via Getty Images)
"I need to have movement in my face," the star told Vogue. "I get baby Botox, but I can't do a lot. If my skin is going to be a little saggier than I would like, at least it looks dewy and pretty."
Jennifer explained that she wanted to undergo a buccal fat removal procedure, which occurs when the fat pads from the lower cheeks are removed from the face to make it appear slimmer. "I would love to have a buccal fat removal. I can't because everybody would know, but just know that I want that," she said.

FC Barcelona summer signing Jesse Bisiwu was unable to show his full potential in the Copa Catalunya final on Wednesday night, with Barça Atletic facing Sabadell at the Nova Creu Alta.
Starting the game for the reserve team, the young Belgian winger was caught by a heavy challenge from Pipa early in the match and was forced to leave the pitch almost immediately. Juliano Belletti had no choice but to replace him.
Bisiwu appeared to be in considerable pain with an injury to his right ankle, initially raising fears that he could have suffered significant damage.
However, SPORT now reports that the 18-year-old prodigy has not suffered a serious injury and has only sustained a knock. He will need a few days of rest away from the group to recover from the impact.
Bisiwu underwent medical examinations at the club facilities earlier today. And, tests have confirmed that the young Belgian has avoided a serious injury.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly set to settle down in Ohio. The couple has purchased a $5.3 million lakefront mansion in Bratenahl, a Cleveland suburb. They reportedly bought their property four months before their big-fat wedding at Madison Square Garden. Swift and Kelce's new home has neighbors nearby, but as per a source, this won't affect their privacy.
According to Page Six's area source, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's privacy won't be invaded at their new house despite neighbors and fans nearby. "They will have privacy," the source said. They added, "[Cleveland Cavaliers mega star] LeBron James lived here in his prime and ******* ody bothered. It's the Cleveland charm." Nevertheless, locals are excited to have the "Bad Blood" hitmaker in the neighborhood.
"Everybody would love their grandkids to spot her at Shoreby Club," the source noted in reference to a nearby yacht club. However, the question is how much time Swift and Kelce will spend at their new place. "People are excited, but they want to know if they will really spend time there," the source stated. The source also wondered if there will be star-studded parties hosted by the Grammy-Award winning singer like her 4th of July bash.
Additionally, many are curious to know what the pair are planning for the property. The source called the mansion a "modest old home" for the upscale area. Moreover, they wondered whether the pop icon and footballer would go for a major renovation to make the house their own, despite the listing calling it "extensive renovation." The lakefront home reportedly has 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and more than 21,000 square feet of living ******* e.
It underwent a yearlong renovation with almost every aspect of it replaced or restored. The transformation includes original door hardware, detailed walnut and oak carvings, cut glass leaded windows, and numerous fireplaces. Moreover, the third floor and lower level boast a game room and home theater in the original ballroom. The lower level also features a poker area, billiards room, temperature-controlled wine cellar and tasting room, bar, fitness center, and sauna. A stone terrace takes one to a bluestone patio and heated pool, facing the lake.

Joe Amabile paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Serena Pitt, on their anniversary as he continues to recover from brain tumor surgery. The former Bachelor in Paradise star praised his wife for supporting him through both the good and the difficult moments.
Joe, who became known as Grocery Store Joe during Season 14 of The Bachelorette, marked their three-year anniversary with a special post on September 2. The 40-year-old wrote on Instagram that Pitt is "the most beautiful, caring, perfect" person. "These past few months have been pretty tough, to say the least. You have been there with me every single step of the way, taking in all the good and the bad news. You cried alone in our bedroom because you didn't want to bring me down," the Dancing With the Stars alum expressed.
Continuing his post, Joe praised Serena for standing by him throughout his recovery. He said she took care of everything from cooking and cleaning to attending his doctor's appointments. She also managed his medications and woke up with him in the middle of the night. Joe said he felt incredibly lucky to have Serena as his wife, partner, and best friend. He ended the heartfelt message by telling her he loved her "forever and always."
Joe and Serena got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise season 7 in 2021. They first tied the knot at a New York City courthouse on October 27, 2022. They held a second, larger wedding celebration with loved ones in Charleston on September 2, 2023.
The former reality star first revealed the diagnosis on July 13 in an Instagram video. He said a full-body MRI scan through Prenuvo led doctors to discover an early-stage glioma. He explained that he later underwent a brain MRI. The scan showed a blueberry-sized lesion in his brain that appeared to be a glioma, which is a type of tumor.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes appears on track to start for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.
The two-time MVP has stated ever since he underwent surgery in December to repair torn ligaments in his left knee that his goal was to be on the field when the season begins.
And while doctors initially cautioned Mahomes that it could be October before he was ready to play, the quarterback surged past all expectations in his rehab, working with the first team throughout training camp.
Mahomes did not play in any preseason games. But that was always by design.
"He's going to keep practicing just like he's been doing," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday, after their first practice following roster cuts. "These are more like practice here, a lot of one-versus-one play these next couple of days. That's a good thing."

Miss Georgia Sophia Wootten, born with a cleft and craniofacial differences, underwent 20 surgeries over 20 years and will compete on the Miss America stage on Sept. 6
Through musical theater and singing, the pageant queen found her voice; now she advocates for cleft care as Miss Georgia
If she wins the ****** le this weekend, Wootten hopes to inspire others at Miss America by sharing her story and championing representation
When Sophia Wootten was two years old, her parents were told that she might never speak clearly.

Wootten was born cleft-affected and with other craniofacial differences and started undergoing surgeries to correct those differences at just four months old. "[My parents were told] I might as well be put in a school for the deaf because that is where I would belong the best at that point," she tells PEOPLE.

At a young age, Wootten started speech therapy. Admittedly, she recalls being a "little bored" with the process. So her parents put her in voice lessons instead.
"Through it all, I fell in love with musical theater. I learned how to tell stories, but not necessarily my own," she says.

Mykhailo Mudryk joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023 for an initial £61m, having attracted interest from clubs across Europe including ******* nal.
After impressing in the Champions League with Shakhtar in the first half of 2022-23, Mudryk needed time to adapt to a new country and league.
He had to wait until October 2023 for his first Chelsea goal, and he ended his first full campaign at Stamford Bridge with seven goals and four ******* ists.
By the start of 2024-25, Graham Potter - who signed Mudryk - had been succeeded first by Frank Lampard, then Mauricio Pochettino and finally Enzo Maresca.
Mudryk struggled for Premier League starts in the first months of Maresca's tenure, but he was making an impact in the Conference League when he underwent an out-of-competition test on international duty with Ukraine in October 2024.

The Eastern Conference is stacked right now following all the massive changes that happened this summer. The Chicago Bulls may not be part of the conversation, but Josh Giddey wants them to be.
The Bulls underwent changes of their own, and it started before the February trade deadline. They traded Coby White to the Charlotte Hornets and Ayo Dosunmu to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
They failed to make the playoffs and quickly got to work this summer, starting with the hiring of Tiago Splitter as their new head coach. Splitter replaced Billy Donovan, who had been with the team for six seasons.
The Bulls selected Caleb Wilson with the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and later landed Norman Powell in free agency.
They don't have marquee signings like the Philadelphia 76ers, who acquired Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, or the Miami Heat, who traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks. Still, Giddey believes the Bulls are capable of surprising people.
