Jürgen Klopp are seriously considering naming a significantly expanded squad for Germany's four upcoming Nations League games.
Sky Germany understands that the idea behind said plan is to use the two weeks together to see as many players as possible.
The exact squad size has not yet been finalized, nor has it been determined whether there will be a player swap after the second match.
Accordingly, this could potentially divide the team into two groups – essentially each group would be ***** igned for two matches.
Klopp is theoretically allowed to take as many players as he wants, but must submit a list of 23 players before each match.

The Dallas Cowboys enter their 2026 season opener against the New York Giants banged up in one key spot, but otherwise in solid shape as they prepare for Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium. Running back Malik Davis is the only Cowboys player carrying an official game status on the final Week 1 injury report, and he's out with a significant hip injury suffered Friday. Beyond that, head coach Brian Schottenheimer's roster is largely clean heading into the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Amgen Irish Open at Trump International Doonbeg has turned into a story of resilience and record-breaking golf. While the first round saw players battling wind and rain that made the course play brutally difficult, the second round brought a dramatic shift in fortune. Shane Lowry, the local favorite, didn't just survive the conditions; he absolutely dominated them. After airing his frustration with the slow pace caused by the weather in the opening round, Lowry produced a stunning performance to take the lead. Golf Monthly reports that Lowry shot a record-breaking 62 under much kinder conditions to take the lead at the midpoint. This score puts him two shots clear of the field and sets the stage for a thrilling weekend.
The contrast between the two rounds couldn't be starker. The first day was defined by struggle, with Golf Monthly noting that the brutal conditions contributed to slow play across the property. Players like Lowry had to wait for groups ahead, testing their patience. Yet, when the wind died down, Lowry found his rhythm. He isn't alone in the hunt, however. The chasing pack is packed with talent, including defending champion Rory McIlroy, two-time Major winner Jon Rahm, and Brooks Koepka, all of whom Golf Monthly confirmed will join Lowry in the third round. Joaquin Niemann, the first-round leader, also remains in contention to challenge the Irishman.
While Lowry's score grabs the headlines, the most compelling story of the week might be the rise of Niklas Nørgaard. The Danish golfer has moved into a tie for second place alongside Jacob Skov Olesen and Haotong Li after posting matching 64s, according to europeantour.com. This surge came from a fundamental change in how Nørgaard approached the game, not just better ball-striking. The pressure of competition often weighs heavy, but Nørgaard found a way to lighten the load. A shift in mindset this week earned praise for his caddie, as he disclosed that his coach is actually riding in the bag during this event.
Nørgaard explained his strategy directly to the media, and the result was immediate. Europeantour.com notes that Nørgaard received late applause from spectators after draining a vital putt on the 18th and finishing his round with a closing birdie to enter the chase. His back nine was a blur of birdies, specifically a burst from the 14th to 16th holes that propelled him up the leaderboard. You have to wonder if that mental shift is the only thing standing between him and a ***** le run, considering how tight the field really is.
Other players faced different challenges. Thomas Detry made an albatross at the par-5 10th in the opening round, a rare feat that should have boosted his day. However, he finished the first day with a 74 and ultimately missed the cut, according to Golf Monthly. On the other side of the field, David Puig struggled to find consistency. Following a 71 in the opening round that left him one over par, he posted the exact same score during the second rou

The New York Giants (0-0) will open the regular season against the Dallas Cowboys (0-0) on Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Although apparently healthy, the status of wide receiver Malik Nabers is the injury headliner. He participated in full this week, but neither he nor head coach John Harbaugh has committed to him playing in Week 1. He will be a game-time decision.
"You can never rule out anything," Harbaugh told reporters. "All things are possible."
Ultimately, the Giants made it through the week healthy and will have their full complement of players available on Sunday, Nabers notwithstanding. For now.
Full injury reports for both the Giants and Cowboys can be found below:

Florida soccer has been on a skid as of late, losing two straight games as conference play begins. The Gators have played two back-to-back nationally ranked teams and have fallen to both of them.
The program will have eight days in between before their next match to clean up around the edges and return to the winning column.
UF has a grueling conference schedule, playing three ranked teams as the season goes on. With a week of preparation ahead of their match against Mississippi State, hopefully they flip the switch on the road before returning home.
Here's a look at the latest Florida soccer weekly update, including how the Gators fared in their previous matches, where they stand in the most recent national rankings, and what's ahead for the program.
Florida had many opportunities against the top-five opponent but failed to execute. The Gators had the game tied 1-1 following a goal from sophomore Tatum Borman in the 58th minute; however, the Demon Deacons answered in the 80th minute with a penalty kick that allowed them to skate by in a 2-1 victory. To this point, the Orange and Blue were the only team to score a goal on Wake Forest.

Marcus Rashford looked set for a permanent move to Barcelona. The outline was there, the numbers were manageable and his loan spell had gone well. Then Barcelona walked away and spent £69m on Anthony Gordon instead. That tells you everything about what they think they need.
Rashford, now 28, had done his part. After leaving Manchester United on loan following his breakdown in relationship with Ruben Amorim, he delivered 14 goals and 14 **** ists in Catalonia. That is solid production by any measure. He also forced his way back into Thomas Tuchel's England plans for the World Cup and capped his season by scoring in the win over Real Madrid that sealed La Liga.
Ordinarily, that would be enough to trigger a £26m purchase option. Barcelona decided otherwise.
The explanation from sporting director Deco was direct and, frankly, sensible. Barcelona were grateful for Rashford's contribution, but they wanted a different profile. In his words for RAC1, "We are extremely grateful to Rashford. He contributed a lot last season, but our idea of play is much more linked to Anthony.

Shohei Ohtani has made a decision about his two-way status for the remainder of the 2026 MLB season, putting an end to all the speculation.
Shohei Ohtani's Cy Young campaign ended much earlier in the season than many expected. During his first year as a two-way star since the 2023 season, the MVP has been bothered by escalating injuries.
Ohtani hasn't pitched for over two months now, he's been dealing with chronic inflammation in his left knee. The Los Angeles Dodgers star has also suffered through bicep, hip, and knee issues.
Dave Roberts' recent words had made it seem fairly clear that Ohtani would likely not be pitching anymore this season. And now the man himself has announced it.

Newly-promoted Schalke 04 ended FC Bayern's winning start to the season. The Royal Blues held the Rekordmeister to a goalless draw in their first Bundesliga game back at Veltins Arena.
"For me, FC Bayern is the best team in the world," Miron Muslić admitted in his post-match interview. "There's no bigger compliment to my team than keeping a clean sheet against Bayern. We had a good match plan and executed it well. We had everything today, so we deserved the point."
Muslić and Schalke will now turn their attention to registering their first league win of the season when they commence matchday 3 against Union Berlin, who also have one point from the first couple of weeks.

Manchester United Women have brought to an end an eventful transfer window.
The Red Devils made a significant change at the start of August, with Marc Skinner departing his role as head coach and Eva Olid replacing him.
Before this movement in August, however, United had already brought in young defender Andrea Medina from Spanish club Atletico Madrid.
United then brought in experienced Leicester City goalkeeper Janina Leitzig as back-up for Phallon Tullis-Joyce in goal.

SCHENECTADY - It's an elite matchup that happens on the Union College football field every day.
Senior wide receiver Gil Rivera, one of the Liberty League's finest at his position, faces off against senior cornerback Matt Mitchell, a first-team all-league pick a year ago.
"We say during practice, we're each other's No.1 enemy," Mitchell said. "Once the cleats come off, the helmets come off, we're best friends. So it's all good."
Mitchell said they've taken turns beating each other in practice.
"He makes me better," Mitchell said. "Iron sharpens iron. He's been keeping me on my toes. I keep him on his toes, and that's kind of how we like it."

Everton have agreed a deal for Jack Grealish to return to the club on a season-long loan from Manchester City while striker Beto has joined Serie A club Fiorentina in a £14.58m move.
Grealish, 30, is set for a medical at the Toffees, with his switch expected to be completed before Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline.
The England international spent a large chunk of last term at Everton under a similar arrangement, scoring twice and providing six ******* ists in 20 appearances, before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January.
Grealish had been linked with other teams - including his boyhood club Aston Villa - but his preference was to return to Everton, whose chief executive Angus Kinnear told BBC Radio Merseyside had "remained in contact" with the winger.
Everton have also agreed a £3m deal to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles from French side Lyon.

A day after announcing their initial 53-man roster, the Houston Texans were not awarded any players off the NFL's waiver wire Monday.
After sifting through hundreds of players who had been cut Sunday evening, the Texans opted to not put in a claim on any players from other teams, a person with knowledge of the situation told the Houston Chronicle.
Meanwhile, offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston, whom the Texans cut Sunday but had hoped to bring back to their practice squad, was claimed by the Miami Dolphins.
For now, the Texans' 53-man roster will remain relatively the same as it was at the NFL's deadline.
The Texans do plan to sign edge rusher Dominique Robinson to a one-year deal Tuesday, the source said. To make room for Robinson, Houston needs to make a corresponding move.

Playing "winning football" sounds vague on the surface, and heading into Mike Elko's third season at the helm, it's clear that the program is in the right direction, but back-to-back losses to Texas and Miami in the first round of the College Football Playoff were the antithesis of what we saw throughout the 2025 season.
This starts and ends with redshirt junior quarterback Marcel Reed, who threw four of his career-high twelve interceptions in both losses while seemingly playing with less confidence compared to his past performances, resulting in poor decision-making; former OC Collin Klein's decision to use fewer RPO looks and keep Reed in the pocket also deserves some blame.
Under first-year offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins, the expectation is that Marcel Reed will return to utilizing his dual-threat skill set more often, getting outside the pocket, especially on play action where he has thrived since becoming the full-time starter. Equipped with one of the best wide receiver rooms in the country, Reed's improvement this preseason should lead to another jump in consistent play.
However, the defense allowed nearly 400 rushing yards against Texas and Miami last season, a huge contributing factor in both losses that wasn't based on personnel, aside from a lack of size at linebacker, which has been addressed this offseason.
During Thursday's press conference, Mike Elko said taking another step toward making "winning plays" in key moments has been a clear focus, starting with finishing strong every practice, while his team's mental makeup will be tested throughout the nine-game SEC schedule.

Aryna Sabalenka is not letting people's comments about her outfit earlier this week.
The tennis star went viral for the Nike mesh jersey-style top she wore over her orange sports bra and matching shorts on Tuesday, Aug. 25. when she wore it during her mixed doubles match with Novak Djokovic.
The outfit did not go over well with fans, but ultimately, Sabalenka was unbothered, saying, "Who cares what people think?" to reporters on Friday, Aug. 28. She explained that she went with this outfit as a tribute to playing in New York, and she likes to do a different Grand Slam look for the host country.
"This year it was super special for Nike … it was always related to different sports," she said.

The worst position group for the Cleveland Browns last year was arguably the wide receiver group. GM Andrew Berry took on the ****** ignment to improve this group and get them out of the hole of being ranked #32 last year. In case you are scoring at home, that is dead last.
In the April draft, Berry selected KC Concepcion of Texas A&M in Round 1, and then with his very next pick he chose Washington's Denzel Boston.
RELATED: 2026 GAVE FANS WHAT THEY WANT
Each NFL club usually retains five or six receivers. For the Browns, Jerry Jeudy and the two rookies are a lock. The coaching staff really likes the development of Isaiah Bond. That leaves two spots.
Berry signed Tylan Wallace from the Baltimore Ravens, who is a receiver but was inked for his return skills. But still, he would count as one of the six spots.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will wrap up their preseason slate Thursday, Aug. 27 with a visit to the Buffalo Bills and their brand new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y.
The matchup will be a final showcase for young quarterbacks Drew Allar and Will Howard before Aaron Rodgers takes command of the offensive huddle for the regular season. Both are looking to leave lasting positive impressions after excellent outings in the opener against Green Bay Packers, then comparative duds last week against the New York Jets.
Howard threw a pair of interceptions as the starter last time out. The mistakes short-circuited drives that had reached deep into New York territory. Allar, meanwhile, battled receiver drops, penalties and his own indecision en route to a scoreless second half for the offense.
Required reading: Steelers, Joey Porter Jr. are at contract 'impasse,' coach Mike McCarthy says
Also of note will be the possible NFL debut of 2026 first-round NFL draft pick Max Iheanachor. The offensive tackle returned to practice this week after missing about half of training camp and all of the preseason to this point because of an arm/shoulder injury.

With the recent change in eligibility rules for the NCAA spurring a controversial series of lawsuits by members of the Class of 2022 recruiting cycle seeking the fifth year of eligibility they have been denied, some NFL players who exhausted four seasons of eligibility are now seeking to return to the collegiate level for an additional year if they are cut or waived by their current teams.
It's sparked an outcry among college sports fans, and college conferences such as the Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC have either already finalized or are in the process of finalizing policies to prevent such moves. And the NFL is also reaching out to clubs to make sure its rules on the matter are clear.
Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday that the league will not allow any player who goes back to play collegiate football in 2026 to sign another contract with an NFL team this year. Under league rules, any player signed to an NFL contract who is subsequently cut is a free agent. They are allowed to sign with another NFL team, sign with a CFL or UFL franchise, or return to college – but those players will be considered free agents and cannot be selected in a future draft.
The move comes after former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Brown, who was signed by the Cleveland Browns this preseason, is seeking to return to the college level and follow former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin to LSU.
He, along with 15 other players, including former Ole Miss defensive lineman Xzavian Harris (signed with the Saints as an UDFA), Oregon State running back Anthony Hankerson (played during preseason with the Seahawks), and SMU running back TJ Harden (played during preseason with the Seahawks), was granted a temporary restraining order in court for an additional year.

NBA star Klay Thompson has always been compared to Hall of Fame star Ray Allen throughout his career. Thompson became known as one of the best catch-and-shoot players. This mirrored one of Allen's best offensive weapons during his playing days. When the former 10-time All-Star was active, he was one of the most lethal catch-and-shoot stars.
The comparisons became stronger when Thompson signed a two-year contract to join the Miami Heat for the 2026-27 season. It was the same move that Allen made in 2012, when he left the Boston Celtics and moved to South Beach.
The organization formally introduced Thompson on Tuesday. He was asked how he felt about being compared to the two-time champion during one of his interviews. According to the five-time All-Star, he has no problem being compared to Allen and said that the former star became his inspiration.

"Of course I like those comparisons. I love Ray Allen. Are you kidding me?" Thompson said. " Him and Reggie were the blueprint for my whole off ball formula.

The comparisons became stronger when Thompson signed a two-year contract to join the Miami Heat for the 2026-27 season. It was the same move that Allen made in 2012, when he left the Boston Celtics and moved to South Beach.

The family of a South East High School football player who died after suffering a brain injury during a game has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Los Angeles Unified School District, alleging the district failed to provide safe conditions.
Christopher Garcia, a 16-year-old junior varsity football player, suffered the injury in 2024 after making a defensive tackle during a game. Attorneys for the family on Tuesday released footage of the play.
The video shows Garcia tackling a receiver before his head struck the field. He was later placed into a medically induced coma and died 11 days later.
According to the lawsuit, Garcia's family alleges the district failed to provide "safe facilities, proper equipment, and adequate supervision," which they contend led to their son's death.
Garcia's sister, Kimberly Garcia, spoke on behalf of the family regarding the lawsuit they have filed.

Aston Villa travel to the American Express Stadium on Sunday afternoon to open their Premier League campaign against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Unai Emery's side finished fourth and won the Europa League last season, but a summer of major departures and a troubled pre-season — five defeats in seven matches, including the UEFA Super Cup final loss to PSG — has left question marks over how quickly the new-look squad can find its feet.
Amadou Onana remains a long-term absentee, ruled out until at least the spring after a serious knee injury sustained while representing Belgium at the World Cup. Johan Manzambi, signed this summer, is still yet to make a competitive appearance for the club because of a knee issue picked up at the same tournament, though he may have a chance of returning before the September international break.
João Gomes, another summer arrival, sustained a calf injury in the Super Cup final and is targeting a return around 5 September against Hull City. Brian Madjo, the 17-year-old who impressed against PSG before being forced off with his own injury, is unlikely to be available before September. Leon Bailey is also out with a muscle problem.
Tammy Abraham was withdrawn after slipping awkwardly against Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend and there has been no official update on his condition since. Alejandro Garnacho has not featured since sustaining a facial injury in a friendly on 5 August and his clearance through concussion protocols remains uncertain, though a place on the bench has not been ruled out.

The San Francisco 49ers traveled south to take on the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium just days after the two teams met for a joint practice session, and Kyle Shanahan's team walked away with a 41-17 victory.
With such a lopsided victory, the 49ers got some great performances from several players on Thursday. As we continue working our way through this game, let's take a look at who had the best nights.
San Francisco's second-round pick had a strong debut against the Tennessee ****** ans, and he continued that run against the Chargers. On Thursday, he caught four of his five targets for 45 yards and showed, once again, that quarterback Brock Purdy can trust him.
Despite all of the injuries at wide receiver throughout training camp, Cowing hasn't exactly taken advantage of the opportunity. However, on Thursday, he showed that he can be a difference-maker on special teams, as he took a punt back 83 yards for a touchdown in the first half. That one play may have helped him earn a roster spot for 2026.
Jones joined the 49ers this offseason, and he has been making plays throughout camp. After suffering a hand injury early against the ****** ans, he entered Thursday's game after Renardo Green went down with a hamstring. He played well again, recording one tackle and sticking in coverage to break up multiple passes.

The 2026 WNBA season has brought several notable record-breaking showings from players across the league, including Kelsey Mitchell's stellar run of consecutive 20-point games. Angel Reese broke another WNBA single-season record on Thursday night during the Atlanta Dream's 36-point victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. However, the record she broke was actually her own.
With four offensive rebounds in the game, her season tally jumped to 173, surpassing the 172 he totaled during the 2024 WNBA season.
Considering the Dream still has eight games remaining in the regular season, Reece could potentially put that record into a territory that'll make it hard for anyone to top it in the foreseeable future. Considering the previous high-mark before 2004 was held by Yolanda Griffith in the 2001 season, Reese's ability to stay active on the offensive glass is obviously something we haven't seen in the WNBA in the years prior to her arrival.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills added experienced depth to their defensive front by signing Greg Gaines on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old Gaines has seven NFL seasons of experience, including the past three playing in a backup role with Tampa Bay. He's been a free agent since his contract expired in March.
Listed at 6-foot-1 and 312 pounds, Gaines spent his first four years with the Los Angeles Rams, the final two as a starter, including their Super Bowl-winning season in 2021. He was selected by the Rams in the fourth round of the 2019 draft out of Washington.
Overall, he has 14 1/2 sacks and 16 tackles for a loss in 34 starts in 108 games.
Gaines is expected to compete for a backup job behind projected starters Ed Oliver, Deone Walker and rookie T.J. Sanders. The Bills have an immediate need for depth at the position with Phidarian Mathis to miss the first three games of the season serving an NFL suspension.

Texas entered preseason camp with enough talent to chase a college football national championship, but one practice exit can quickly change the calculation.
Starting left tackle Trevor Goosby left Monday's workout with an apparent knee injury, according to Orangebloods' Anwar Richardson, placing fresh attention on the most important position along the Longhorns' offensive line.
Until Texas provides a diagnosis, Goosby's health will remain one of the biggest stories surrounding Steve Sarkisian's team before the season opener against Texas State.

Slo-mo Angel Reese-Sophie Cunningham replay sparks outrage after Fever-Dream thriller originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Indiana Fever's overtime victory over the Atlanta Dream delivered just about everything expected from one of the WNBA's most heated matchups. The game included a massive comeback, physical play, late drama and another officiating controversy involving Sophie Cunningham. Indiana erased an 18-point deficit to defeat Atlanta 95-91 in overtime Sunday at State Farm Arena. The victory itself should have been the biggest story, but a slow-motion replay of an off-ball exchange between Cunningham and Angel Reese quickly captured attention online.
The video showed Cunningham attempting to establish position near the basket before Reese extended her arms into the Fever guard's back. Cunningham fell to the floor, but officials did not call a foul.
OutKick shared the replay while describing the sequence as "another Angel Reese foul."
The contact could be interpreted differently at full speed, especially during a physical battle for rebounding position. The slow-motion angle, however, fueled criticism from fans who believed Reese clearly pushed Cunningham directly in front of an official.
