For decades, Heidi Klum has been one of the world's most recognizable supermodels, captivating fans with her confidence, charisma and timeless beauty.
From her breakthrough days on the runway to her reign as a television star, producer and entrepreneur, the German-born icon has never been afraid to embrace her glamorous side.
Heidi has a refreshing take on her workouts, being that her go-to is N.E.A.T., which stands for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis.
The philosophy behind it is incorporating exercise into your everyday routine, such as taking the stairs over the elevator, and doing household chores, instead of committing to a dedicated time in the gym.
She revealed to The Times: "I also run around a lot, having four kids. I don't have an ******* istant, so I don't have people pack for me or carry my things, I do everything myself. I eat right, I never exercise too much or do heavy weights. People can push themselves too hard. I listen to my body."

NHL rumors: Blue Jackets fans won't love Pierre LeBrun's Adam Fantilli update appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Members of the Columbus Blue Jackets are set to arrive for camp on September 16, with the first on-ice workouts scheduled for the next day. Earlier on Monday, the Blue Jackets added Cam Talbot to the team, bringing in another netminder for camp.
Still, there is one player on the roster who may not be on the ice on September 17. Adam Fantilli is still without a contract from the team, and talks with the restricted free agent are going slowly, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.
"Adam Fantilli remained unsigned Monday ahead of Blue Jackets camp opening this week. The sides continue to talk, which is good, but there's a sizeable gap to overcome. 'Very slow' was how one source described things," LeBrun wrote. "That negotiation needs a positive uptick. The slowness certainly hasn't been for a lack of effort from either side this summer. There have been offers and counter-offers, but they're just not there yet."

Former Florida State forward Alex Steen suffered a setback in his effort to secure another season of college basketball eligibility, according to Chris Nee of Noles247. Leon County Circuit Court Judge David M. Frank denied Steen's verified emergency motion for a temporary and preliminary injunction on Friday, Sept. 11. Steen is suing the NCAA in an effort to obtain a fifth season of eligibility for the 2026-27 season.
Steen and attorneys representing both sides appeared before Frank for a hearing on Sept. 2. The former Seminole is part of the 2022 high school class and played four consecutive college seasons without redshirting. His lawsuit challenges his exclusion from the NCAA's new eligibility framework that provides five seasons of competition to athletes from the 2023 class and beyond.
Under Florida law, Steen needed to satisfy four requirements to receive a temporary injunction: a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, no adequate remedy at law, irreparable harm without an injunction, and a showing that granting relief would serve the public interest. Frank determined Steen had not met the necessary standard.
The court found Steen's claimed losses involving practices, workouts, team activities, recruiting conversations, and professional evaluation were not supported by sufficient evidence and remained speculative. Frank also wrote that potential lost NIL income could be measured financially and therefore addressed through monetary damages.
Frank additionally determined a temporary injunction would not serve the public interest, reasoning that granting one player another season could affect roster spots, playing time, scholarships, and revenue-sharing allocations for other athletes.

The Jockey Club Gold Cup, which will headline next Friday's reopening day card at Belmont Park, has reportedly lost one of its biggest stars.
Daily Racing Form's David Grening reported Friday that 2025 Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes and Travers winner Sovereignty, who was targeting the Gold Cup coming off of his win in the Whitney last month at Saratoga, has officially been ruled out of the Grade 1, $1 million race.
Sovereignty developed an abscess in his left hind foot a little more than a week ago, which forced the reigning Horse of the Year to miss two planned workouts. Grening reported that trainer Bill Mott hopes to have Sovereignty return to the track by the middle of next week and plans to attempt to train the 4-year-old colt up to the Oct. 31 Breeders' Cup Classic, rather than having him race beforehand.
The absence of Sovereignty means the Jockey Club Gold Cup will no longer feature one of the most anticipated head-to-head horse racing matchups of the year.
Sovereignty enjoys some quiet at trainer Bill Mott's barn on Aug. 9 at Saratoga Race Course's Oklahoma training track. (Skip ****** stein)

While Ryan Seacrest is reflecting on his summer and his beach workouts, his followers had other thoughts in mind. Many of them asked the same question in the comments after he shared images of himself on social media.
"From the summer camera roll: vacation workouts just hit different," he captioned the Instagram post on September 10. Seacrest set the post to the song "I Feel Good" by Pink Sweat$.
Whoever filmed the video started off with a scenic view of the water. Then, they panned to the Wheel of Fortune host across the beach doing squats with hand weights. They got closer and closer until they were only a few feet from him.
Seacrest worked out with no shirt, short black shorts, and black water shoes. Hand weights, barbells, and other workout equipment sat in a straight line behind him.
He continued to do squats and lift the weights above his head. More views of the ocean could be seen before Seacrest appeared to lie on a towel. He did crunches and lifted his hips up as he used a bigger weight on his arms.

George Pickens was the biggest story the Cowboys had going through the early part of the offseason as his contract situation worked its way to an eventual franchise tag, but then the first mandatory workouts arrived, and Pickens showed up with a smile on his face and proceeded to have a strong August camp.
If that has Cowboys fans excited, so should Pickens' thoughts on where he and CeeDee Lamb rank among the league's receiving duos. Hint: He thinks they rank highly.

On August 6, Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON) reported results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, and the headline number is one the company has chased for years: a full year of positive net income. Total revenue for fiscal 2026 came in at $2.446 billion, and quarterly revenue of $608 million ticked up $1 million from a year earlier. The bigger story sits beneath the top line, in a business that finally converted cost cuts into cash while its subscriber base kept shrinking.
Fiscal 2026 marked the first time in Peloton's history that the company posted positive net income and operating income for a full year, with GAAP net income landing at $63 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose 16% year over year to $468 million, even after absorbing a $23.8 million nonrecurring legal accrual tied to patent litigation in the fourth quarter. Free cash flow climbed to $378 million, up $54 million, and management used that cash to cut net debt by 80% to just $93 million from $459 million a year earlier. CEO Peter Stern credited the turnaround to an improved revenue trajectory paired with cost restructuring, and the company said it exceeded its own target of more than $100 million in run-rate savings by the end of the fiscal year.
Growth is showing up outside the core bike and treadmill business too. The Commercial Business Unit grew revenue by double digits for the year, Peloton expanded its digital footprint through a partnership with Spotify, and it closed the acquisition of Skōp to push further into connected Pilates. Microstores beat their internal sales goals as an efficient in-person retail channel, and Peloton plans to double that store fleet in fiscal 2027. New training programs also drove engagement, with the Pace Your Race Marathon Training Program and a Live Spring Cross-Training Plan generating more than 850,000 completed workouts in the fourth quarter alone.
The profitability story cannot hide what is happening to the customer base. Ending Paid Connected Fitness Subscriptions fell 8.8% year over year to 2.553 million, and monthly churn rose to 2.2% in the fourth quarter from 1.8% a year earlier. Hardware sales are choppy too. Connected Fitness Products revenue dropped 14% year over year in the quarter to $171 million, and gross margin on that hardware segment swung to 13.4% from 17.3% a year ago before recovering some ground quarter over quarter. Peloton's own guidance signals the subscriber slide is not over.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling has stood out during preseason work ahead of the team's Week 1 Thursday Night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia on September 10. Injuries in the receiving corps have created openings, and Stribling has taken full advantage in practice and preseason action.
Quarterback Brock Purdy praised the Ole Miss product directly, saying Stribling will be a big part of the offense this season. Purdy cited the rookie's playbook retention, consistency in practice, and ability to correct mistakes quickly as reasons for his confidence.
The San Francisco 49ers carry high expectations into the new season, and confidence surrounds their offense. Wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling turned heads during preseason workouts after joining the team as a draft pick out of Ole Miss, following his early college career at Washington State.
Stribling also led all receivers in the 49ers' preseason opener against the Tennessee ****** ans, catching seven passes for 63 yards in the first half alone against first-team defenders. That performance made him the second receiver in the past decade to record seven catches in the first 20 minutes of a preseason game.

Ten days prior to that, teams are allowed to begin spring training workouts, per the league's announcement.
Those dates, of course, ****** umes a normal offseason.

Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter received record-setting contract extensions this offseason, but neither defensive tackle views financial security as a reason to become comfortable. During his appearance on "Takeoff with John Clark," Davis spoke strongly about a close-knit Eagles defensive line that holds its members accountable before position coach Clint Hurtt needs to intervene.
That approach extends to conditioning.
Vic Fangio challenged Davis to improve his conditioning after arriving in Philadelphia, and the results were evident during Davis' breakout 2025 season. Fangio also established a target weight for Carter, who arrived for mandatory minicamp in improved shape. Davis said Fangio remains involved throughout the offseason, occasionally calling players to ask about their workouts and progress. Head coach Nick Sirianni shares that commitment because both coaches understand how conditioning can affect performance late in games and deep into the season.
The responsibility does not stop with Davis and Carter. Moro Ojomo, Ty Robinson and the other defensive linemen exchange observations and accept coaching from one another regardless of experience or draft status.
That willingness to listen has helped create one of Philadelphia's closest position groups.

The Baltimore Ravens received an encouraging injury update Thursday as wide receiver Zay Flowers returned to practice for the first time in two weeks.
Flowers had not practiced since Baltimore's joint workouts with the Minnesota Vikings on Aug. 20 because of an undisclosed injury. The Ravens have consistently described the issue as minor, but the team exercised caution with its top wide receiver through the end of the preseason and the first week of regular-season preparation.
Flowers did not practice Wednesday, although he was seen running the length of the field while working off to the side. His return one day later represents another positive step toward being available when Baltimore opens the regular season against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 13. The extent of Flowers' participation was not immediately known. Baltimore still has more than a week to increase his workload before issuing its first official injury report of the season.
Only one Ravens player not practicing Thursday: WR Devontez Walker.
And Zay Flowers is back. pic.twitter.com/8J42DpqPN8
Flowers is coming off the most productive season of his career. He recorded 86 catches for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns in 2025 before signing a four-year contract extension during training camp.

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded former first-round pick Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. This came off the heels of the Georgia product playing deep into preseason games as he worked his way back from a neck injury and missed the entirety of spring workouts.
It also came after the Steelers declined to pick up his fifth-year option and drafted his replacement in the form of Max Iheanachor. Once that sequence of actions happened, Jones' days in Pittsburgh were numbered.
Jones spoke to the media for the first time as a member of the Cowboys and was asked what he believed didn't work with him and the Steelers.
"For me, I would just say bouncing around, just not being able to get my feet set," Jones said via John Machota of The Athletic. "That was a challenge for me. Coming in [to Dallas], hopefully I can stick to one side. Compete for that, get comfortable, get familiar with it, get familiar with who I'll be playing next to and go from there."
Jones originally replaced Chuks Okorafor at right tackle in 2023 and spent the entire 2024 season at that spot. In 2025, he moved to left tackle after the Steelers drafted Troy Fautanu. He played both right and left tackle in preseason this year.

Philadelphia 76ers fans have every reason to be excited about the upcoming season. They landed LeBron James and Jaylen Brown this summer.
Chemistry is their next challenge, but it looks like it will not be much of a problem.
NBA training camp will officially begin on September 29, but several teams have already taken steps to build chemistry through workouts on their own time. The Sixers' core players are among them.
Brown said he has been working out with his new teammates, and he has a simple way of letting their supporters know that they are going to be good.
"We've been working, building chemistry with the guys. Maxey is a dog. LeBron is the goat, you don't even need to say what LeBron is. He look good, healthy," he said.

An investigation is ongoing after an Arizona State hockey player collapsed on the first day of workouts with the team this fall.
Sun Devils defenseman Matthew Mayich was participating in a workout on Aug. 20, the first day of Arizona State classes for the fall semester, when he collapsed. First responders arrived after calls of a heat-related illness, and Mayich was taken to a local hospital. He has since been transferred to the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.
Temperature at the time was reportedly between 87 and 89 degrees. The workout was being run by an ex-Green Beret soldier, too, who was leading the team through "grueling" drills, his attorney Robert Carey told the Arizona Republic on Monday. Multiple players told Carey that the former soldier, Tim Ziesel, "yelled at them from the get-go … like a drill instructor," and that they were told not to complain. Water, he said, was only available for those who led exercises.
Mayich allegedly showed obvious signs of distress and was unable to complete tasks throughout the workout.
"He was disoriented and struggled well before he collapsed," Carey said.

The Carolina Panthers had us wait it out on Sunday evening, going well past the league's 6 p.m. ET deadline to officially announce their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season. But the reigning NFC South champions finally turned in their work, and made up for their tardiness with a bit of intrigue.
As is the case with every team every summer, the roster cutdown included some shockers. While many players are deserving of a spot on the program, there are only so many to go around.
So, whose departures caught us off guard?
Here are the Panthers' four most surprising cuts of the weekend . . .
Reed made plays throughout spring and summer workouts this offseason, establishing himself as an emerging talent in the wideout room. Heck, he even got some praise from president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan during the broadcast of the second preseason game.

The air is starting to cool, the beach trips are slowly coming to an end, and another school year is upon us, which means football is back in Berks County.
During every offseason, players, coaches and fans eagerly wait for the spring and summer workouts to pass so we can get to the real, hard-hitting part of the greatest show on turf.
And it is officially here, with a trio of Berks County rivalries and a couple of familiar powerhouses kicking off.
This week's Game of the Week will be for the Gurski-Linn Trophy, as the Wilson Bulldogs travel down the road to Shillington to face the Gov. Mifflin Mustangs.
Named after Berks County's legendary former coaches John Gurski, who coached at Wilson from 1964-82, and Ray Linn, who had two stints at Mifflin from 1956-73 and 1985-87, the trophy has plenty of history behind it.

This week's Game of the Week will be for the Gurski-Linn Trophy, as the Wilson Bulldogs travel down the road to Shillington to face the Gov. Mifflin Mustangs.
Named after Berks County's legendary former coaches John Gurski, who coached at Wilson from 1964-82, and Ray Linn, who had two stints at Mifflin from 1956-73 and 1985-87, the trophy has plenty of history behind it.

Adam Schefter has spent much of the offseason predicting Aaron Donald will return to the Los Angeles Rams. But on Wednesday's Pat McAfee Show, he sounded less certain — and more focused on the clock running out.
With the Rams set to open the season in two and a half weeks against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, Schefter said the timeline for Donald to make a call is closing fast.
"These people know it's go time. Like two and a half weeks, time to start getting ready, which, again, makes me wonder what's going through the mind of one Aaron Donald right now as we get closer to the regular season," Schefter said. "I would think that he's probably getting close to making a decision at some point here. 'Cause either you're gonna do it or you're not gonna do it. We're at the point now where, like, you're coming back or you're not coming back. Does your body feel like it can handle it, or does your body feel like it can't handle it? What are we doing here? One way or the other, right?"
The comments mark a shift in tone from Schefter's earlier reporting. In June, he called a Donald return "more likely than not," and by early July he was noting momentum building around the idea after the Rams acquired Myles Garrett from Cleveland. Donald was later seen working out at the team's facility, and has had multiple workouts with the Rams during training camp.
Donald hasn't played since the Rams' 2024 playoff loss to Detroit. He made first-team All-Pro in that final season, logging eight sacks while playing more than 80% of Los Angeles' defensive snaps — hardly the profile of a player in decline. He's now 35 and would be more than two years removed from live game action if he suits up in Week 1.

When Miss USA 2025 Audrey Eckert accepted her crown, she signed on not only to represent the organization but to represent the entire country.
Last year, Eckert was crowned by the then-reigning Miss Universe ******* leholder Victoria Kjær Theilvig on Oct. 24, 2025. Since then, she has spent the past year traveling the country, representing the organization and the country at appearances as part of her duties as the pageant queen.
For Eckert, who has been competing in pageants since she was nine years old, the win was the realization of a dream for the young ******* leholder. In 2020, she won Miss Nebraska Teen and placed third runner-up at the Miss Teen USA competition in the same year.
During her time as one of the more than 80 women to hold the prestigious Miss USA ******* le, Eckert has attended events like the Oscars, made her debut at the Cannes Film Festival, and more.
Speaking with PEOPLE as her reign draws to a close, the current pageant ******* leholder breaks down the lesser-known facets of what it takes to be the leading lady of the national pageant that those unfamiliar with the pageant might not know.

Eckert tells PEOPLE that one thing outsiders might not understand about holding ******* les like Miss USA, Miss Teen USA or even Miss Universe is that the women spend "a lot of time on the road traveling."
While travel days can be long, Eckert says the women are expected to "maintain" their appearances — to always "look the part" of Miss USA.
"You're traveling across the world trying to get workouts in, get your nails done, get your hair done, all those tactical things," she explains. "People don't always think of the logistics of it."
She admits that it can be hard, appearing in back-to-back appearances and travel days, but that she is aware she must always show up as the pageant queen she was elected to be, no matter what.

Veteran forward LeBron James has sparked concerns among the Philadelphia 76ers fanbase with his insightful remarks on the aging process.
James, who turns 42 in December, has revealed that he feels like an 87-year-old man by 9 p.m. every night after an intense day of workouts and training.
"Aging is weird.
On paper, I'm 40.
In the gym, I feel 25.
At 9 PM, I'm 87."
The words were accompanied by laughing and shoulder-shrugging emojis.
To James' credit, he averaged 38.4 minutes for the Los Angeles Lakers through 10 playoff games earlier this year, including a team-high 38.7 in the six-game series against the Houston Rockets in the first round. In the series against the Rockets, James essentially turned back the clock and carried his team to a victory while playing without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves (for the first four games).

The Detroit Lions are taking another look at the cornerback market before making their final roster decisions.
Detroit worked out free-agent cornerbacks Shaun Jolly and Eric Scott Jr. on Tuesday, according to the NFL transaction wire. The tryouts come during the final week of training camp as the Lions continue evaluating the depth behind their established players in the secondary.
Neither player was immediately signed following the workouts.
Still, both bring different profiles to Allen Park.
Jolly, 27, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State in 2022.

Jessica Alba showed off her workout sartorial agenda with a sculpted post-workout photo. The actress took to social media on August 24 to share a mirror selfie from her home gym.
The 45-year-old rocked a burgundy athleisure set featuring a micro sports bra and figure-hugging, high-waisted leggings. Jessica accessorized with layered gold necklaces and a pair of matching stud earrings. Her brunette locks were swept back into a low bun and she opted for a makeup-free complexion with a glowing base.
Jessica's toned figure is courtesy of her fitness regime that blends high-intensity workouts with flexibility exercises. In 2024, Jessica's personal trainer Ramona Braganza told Shape the actress enjoys Iyengar yoga, which focuses on holding poses longer. "She finds it very beneficial for stretching her body out," said Ramona.
Jessica Alba wore a burgundy workout set (@ Instagram)
"I attribute my athletic body to the martial arts, gymnastics, dance, and strength training I did while filming Dark Angel. That's made me strong and really set the bar," Jessica told Shape. "If you can just do it two or three times a week, a little bit of exercise whether it's yoga or going for a walk or cycling class or something...go for it," she also explained to E! News.

JASPER, Ind. — John Hurley didn't believe the process was being followed.
That was the Memorial High School coach during summer workouts. His buzzword to open the official practice slate in August? Complacency. Alarm bells rang throughout the facility on Lincoln Avenue hearing those remarks following back-to-back Southern Indiana Athletic Conference championships. Or preparing for a rival on the road with high aspirations to open the season.
Flash forward to Week 1. **** ody on the Memorial sideline was talking in those terms. Far from it.
More: Scores from week 1 Southwestern Indiana football games
The No. 3 Tigers delivered a major statement with a 48-14 victory over Jasper on Friday at Jerry Brewer Alumni Stadium. Not only was it a positive start to the 2026 season – it was a historic showing. The most points ever from the Tigers against the Wildcats. The defending SIAC champions were one point from a running clock.

For weeks, fans have been trying to figure out whether Huda Mustafa and streamer PlaqueBoyMax are simply close friends or something more, and now Huda has offered her clearest explanation yet.
The Love Island USA star has been spending considerable time with PlaqueBoyMax, whose real name is Max, appearing alongside him in livestreams, workouts, music-related content, and social media posts. Their increasingly frequent appearances have prompted viewers to scrutinize their interactions, with some fans convinced that the friendship could be turning romantic. Neither has publicly confirmed that they are dating.
Huda's own description of the relationship, however, is much less dramatic. She has called Max one of her closest friends since moving to Los Angeles and praised him for being supportive as she adjusted to a new city and a new chapter of her life.
No single photograph or confession sparked the dating speculation; a steady stream of moments showing the two together got people talking.
Huda began appearing more frequently in Max's content. Their conversations often seemed relaxed, playful, and they appeared increasingly comfortable around each other.

The Kansas City Chiefs made a huge investment in rookie defensive back Mansoor Delane back in April — trading up to the No. 6 pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select the former LSU Tigers standout.
While Delane is expected to play a key role in Kansas City's defense this season, his full participation in practices at Chiefs training camp was delayed due to a shoulder injury that kept him from taking part in full-contact drills.
On Monday, August 17, Delane took his first unrestricted repetitions at Kansas City's workouts and made a great first impression on fans and members of the media who were in attendance at Missouri Western State University.
Take a look at these videos of Delane dominating in practice, which were posted to Twitter by various accounts:

The New Orleans Saints brought in wide receivers Chase Claypool and Josh Reynolds for workouts following the recent injury news about first-round selection Jordyn Tyson.
Claypool is a former second-round pick out of Notre Dame. The wideout began his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he played for three seasons before heading to the Chicago Bears, and then the Miami Dolphins. Claypool has 175 career receptions for 2,261 yards and 13 touchdowns in 58 games played. He most recently signed with the Buffalo Bills, but departed shortly after agreeing to an injury settlement with the team and has not played in a game since 2023.
Reynolds played with the New York Jets in 2025, but has taken a sort of journeyman approach to his NFL career. The Texas A&M product was chosen in the fourth round of the 2017 draft by the Los Angeles Rams. After spending four years in LA, he played for the Tennessee ******* ans, Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos, and the Jacksonville Jaguars before playing in five games with NYJ last year. Reynolds has 244 receptions, 3,228 yards, and 20 TDs in his pro career.
After it was announced that eighth-overall pick WR Jordyn Tyson's hamstring injury would keep him out "around two months," New Orleans wasted no time in bringing in players they believe could be viable options for added depth to the pass-catching group. While Tyson's injury is not considered to be serious or severe, the extended amount of missed time is certainly a blow to the Saints' offensive potential for 2026.

Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies are reportedly interested in a newly eligible player.
South Alabama guard Chaze Harris, the reigning Sun Belt Player of the Year, has heard from Washington, SMU, and Seton Hall in the transfer portal after being granted an injunction to become eligible for the 2026-27 season, according to a report from 247Sports' Dushawn London.
Harris' injunction stems from similar cases around the country, granting fourth-year seniors who have recently graduated the opportunity to return to school in the wake of the NCAA's change to a 5-in-5 eligibility model that gave class of 2023 athletes and later the ability to play five years of competition. A similar injunction recently allowed Washington football defensive lineman Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei to return to the Huskies shortly after the beginning of fall practice.
What makes Washington's reported interest more confusing than all of the legalese, however, is that the Huskies' roster is full. Sprinkle's team has 15 players as of right now: Wesley Yates III, Nikola Dzepina, Mady Traore, Lathan Sommerville, Jasir Rencher, Rutgers transfer Harun Zrno, Davidson transfer Parker Friedrichsen, Gonzaga transfer Steele Venters, San Francisco transfer Ryan Beasley, Texas Tech transfer LeJuan Watts, Australian Tristan Devers, Croatian Boris Tišma, Brazilian Wini Braga Silva, freshman Lattimore Ford, and walk-on Brandon Roy Jr.
The Huskies added a 16th player - Dzepina - last season, but were only able to do so because Traore suffered a season-ending injury before the first game. In order to add Harris, a similar situation would need to occur. One possibility is that Rencher will be held out of games this season as he recovers from heart surgery - although he has been participating in summer workouts, there is no clarity on whether he has been cleared for game action. Another is that one of Washington's other players has suffered an as-yet unreported injury serious enough that the Huskies want a former conference player of the year to step in and give the Huskies a boost.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy joked Tuesday that he had the blessing of his wife, Mia, to return to the team after she was shot at their Virginia home because, well, "I know I was driving her and a bunch of my family members crazy in the house."
Mia was shot the evening of July 26, and the couple's 27-year-old son, Elijah, was arrested. Eric left the Chiefs right away to help his family through the crisis, and he returned to camp last week ahead of a preseason loss to the Rams.
"First and foremost, yes, she's on a great road to recovery. Yes, she's doing great," Bieniemy said of his wife, speaking to reporters for the first time since she was rushed to the hospital with multiple wounds. "It is one of the main reasons that I am back here, because of her recovery. She's truly a soldier. She's a saint. And it's been incredible to watch."
Bieniemy was never far from camp, even while he was back home in Ashburn, Virginia. He was able to watch streams of practice from Missouri Western State University, and he was often conferenced into team meetings before and after the workouts.
At one point, he called Chiefs general manager Brett Veach — who he knew was seated beside coach Andy Reid — and told him to give Big Red the phone. Bieniemy proceeded to remind Reid to get on one of his players for a seemingly minor coaching point.

The Washington Huskies have a lot of promising talent at wide receiver heading into the 2026 season, but the majority of it is unproven, including sophomore Chris Lawson.
After the former four-star recruit's career on Montlake got off to a hot start in the spring of 2025, injuries limited him in the fall, which led to him playing in eight games and tallying 10 catches for 110 yards in his debut campaign before he was sidelined for about half of the workouts in the spring of 2026. Now, fully healthy, Lawson has been making his mark left and right during fall camp.
During Saturday's scrimmage, Lawson compiled 5 catches for an estimated 90 yards, including an impressive 40-yard reception downfield from sophomore Treston Kini McMillan. While working against freshman cornerback Elijah Durr, he made a mid-air adjustment on a slightly underthrown pass to go up and over the defensive back to haul in the pass, as he has become a consistent contributor for the Huskies over the last few days of practice, which has caught the eye of coach Jedd Fisch.
"Chris is getting better and better. It's really making the competition at receiver is really becoming better than it's ever been, also, because you've got Chris, then you've got, and (Dezmen) Roebuck, you've got Rashid playing at a high level, and Christian (Moss), then you got Trez (Davis), and then Mason (James) makes some plays, messing a nice little catch down there, and a couple other plays," Fisch said of his depth of the position on Saturday.
As Washington's young talent continues to shine at the position, even with four-star freshman Jordan Clay sidelined with an injury, Lawson's versatility has continued to set him apart.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — With 12 returners on the roster, the University of Southern Indiana women's volleyball team has been able to speed up the learning curve during offseason workouts.
Last year, the Screaming Eagles went into the season with eight new players, but this year it's just three new faces on the roster.
USI was just two sets away from playing for the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship last season, so the continuity should help the team once again battle for a top spot in the conference.
"We can already tell like this preseason we've all been gelling really well and it's kind of like we weren't even apart for very long," said outside hitter, Ashby Willis. "It's been really great coming back and having some good team chemistry again that we worked on in the spring."
Even though there will be some players stepping into new roles the big returning group already has the team ahead of schedule this year utilizing the spring period.
