Tennessee tight end Ethan Davis is out for the season with an ACL injury, coach Josh Heupel said on Sept. 14.
Davis, a senior, had a good start to the season, catching touchdown passes in each of the first two games. He had three catches for 43 yards. But he will miss the remainder of the season.
Sophomore DaSaahn Brame and South Alabama transfer Trent Thomas will pick up more of the load in replacing Davis.
No. 14 Tennessee (2-0) plays Kennesaw State (1-1) on Sept. 19 (7:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network) at Neyland Stadium.

Heat Central: Norman Powell says Davion Mitchell is one of the hardest working teammates he's EVER had: "I've been around some great players. Dame is a good one. Being around Davion, Davion genuinely loves basketball. Seeing how much he pours into the game every single day. Davion was the one person I seen that I say 'ok, this guy works out like me.' He's committed to the grind."

It's not just game day, it's the first home game for Bob Chesney as head coach of the UCLA Bruins. UCLA will be taking on San Diego State at the Rose Bowl, with both teams eyeing a 2-0 start to the 2026 season.
We'll get our first look at how Chesney has his team looking in Pasadena, with the program looking to keep the ball rolling after an offseason filled with positive momentum. UCLA passed their first test, knocking off Cal on the road in Week 1.
Here are five questions for the Bruins entering Week 2 versus the Aztecs.
The UCLA offensive line dominated up front, allowing for major games from running backs Anthony Woods and Wayne Knight. While it'll be tough for UCLA to match their 277 yards they got in Week 1, a successful rushing offense will make everything else much easier for the Bruins.
There were many highlights from UCLA's Week 1 victory. One thing that wasn't great from the Bruins was their penalties. UCLA committed 12 penalties, giving away 110 yards. That isn't sustainable and will be something to improve upon in Week 2.

Ligue 1 McDonald's, Matchday 4, 11/09/26
Adrien Thomasson's second-half goal is enough for Rennes to secure a third straight win to go top of Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Bruno Genesio's Marseille woes deepened with a third consecutive loss.
The Match
Marseille returned to Rennes' Roazhon Park for the first time since the infamous dressing room brawl between Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe. So much has changed since for Les Phocéens, including the manager with Bruno Genesio making his return in Brittany after coaching Les Rouge et Noir between 2021 and 2023. Both teams were on opposite momentums. Rennes were targeting top spot whereas Marseille looked to avert a third straight Ligue 1 loss.
Still, Marseille put on a good show in the first half, playing with the handbrake off but without losing team structure. Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg pulled the strings from midfield, and Marseille's wide men put Rennes on the backfoot. Up front, the hosts were toothless. The attackers looked like they played together for the first time, leaving Estéban Lepaul in no man's land.

In one of the first deviations from John Harbaugh's usual approach, the Baltimore Ravens did not hold a full practice Thursday, but their estimated injury report included an encouraging development ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Wide receiver Zay Flowers was listed as a full participant after being listed as a limited participant Wednesday because of a hamstring injury. The upgrade places him on track to play barring a setback during the remainder of the week.
Because Baltimore held a walkthrough, Thursday's participation levels projected how much work each player would handle during a traditional practice. Linebacker Teddye Buchanan was listed as a limited participant for the second consecutive day because of a knee injury. Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike was also listed as a limited participant again with a neck injury.

Madubuike's availability will be particularly important against Jonathan Taylor and the Colts' powerful rushing attack. The defensive tackle missed the final 15 games of the 2025 season, making his progression one of Baltimore's most significant Week 1 storylines. Wide receiver Devontez Walker was listed as a limited participant for the second consecutive day with a groin injury. His status could affect Baltimore's receiving rotation and special teams plans.

The Washington Commanders enjoyed a long weekend before returning to Ashburn on Monday in preparation for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. That extra time off brought some good news for the Commanders ahead of Sunday's opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Everybody participated today," Quinn said when asked about linebacker Odafe Oweh. "It was a walkthrough practice, so I'll get you an update on Wednesday, but it's a good sign that everybody's trending in the right direction. Full group out there today getting work in."
Oweh and fellow edge rusher K'Lavon Chaisson were dealing with calf and knee injuries, respectively, late in training camp. Both missed some time, but Chaisson returned to practice last week. Some were concerned about whether Oweh would be ready for Week 1. Quinn's opening message on Monday would seem to indicate that the Commanders believe Oweh is trending toward playing against the Eagles.
Washington spent a ton of resources on improving the defense this offseason. New defensive coordinator Daronte Jones was the first move that the Commanders made. The biggest free-agent move Washington made was signing the 27-year-old Oweh. A first-round pick of the Ravens in the 2021 NFL Draft, Baltimore traded him to the Chargers last October after he got off to a slow start. After the trade, Oweh was outstanding, finishing with 7.5 sacks in 12 games for Los Angeles. Oweh then sacked Patriots quarterback three times in January's AFC Wild Card game.
Most of Washington's projected defense will be on the field next Sunday. Cornerback Trey Amos was placed on injured reserve last week, but everyone else is on track to play. Obviously, the Commanders will also be without star left tackle Laremy Tunsil (torn triceps) and defensive lineman Johnny Newton (torn pec), who were also placed on IR.

Keith Andrews was not shy in making changes at the break and it almost secured Brentford three points.
Record signing Ibrahim Sangare has had rave reviews for his performances in their first two Premier League games of the season since joining from Lens but he picked up a booking in the first half and was not at his best.
Anthony was one of those half-time substitutes and the former Burnley winger wasted an early chance but showed more attacking threat.
Then Yehor Yarmolyuk played a role in the build-up to the opener before Damsgaard put in the ball which eventually led to Vitaly Janelt's great finish.
Brentford remain unbeaten and if Andrews continues to show bold management then the Bees could be well placed to push on from their ninth-placed finish last season.

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.

The Dallas Mavericks are expected to have Kyrie Irving back after he missed the entire 2025-26 campaign because of a torn ACL, and Dirk Nowitzki is among those excited to see the 34-year-old guard again soon.
In a recent interview with WFAA's Joe Trahan, Nowitzki strongly believes Irving's return will address the Dallas Mavericks' Achilles heel last season – the point guard position. The one-time NBA champion is also interested in how Irving will play alongside franchise cornerstone Cooper Flagg.

"The most exciting thing is, on the court, what struggled last year for the Mavs were the point guard position. And now you have one of the all-time greats coming back with Kyrie. He had a year off. He should be ready. He should be excited. He watched Cooper for a year, so I'm sure in his head, he has a plan on how they're going to play off each other," Nowitzki stated.
Irving is entering his contract year with the Dallas Mavericks, where he'll earn around $39.5 million, and the 34-year-old guard can exercise his $42.4 million player option in the summer of 2027 (or become an unrestricted free agent).

The Chiefs have nothing left to prove in the Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes era. One could certainly pick apart the roster decisions of the past few years as being the reason the team stopped short of becoming a perennially dominant Pats-esque dynasty, but it's also unclear if that kind of lofty success is possible for any team in a modern NFL landscape where rookies are more pro-ready than ever before, and swelling salaries have made it very difficult to keep multi-superstar teams together.
This 2026 season feels like a new chapter for the Chiefs, while also the continuation of the same book they've been writing. It's the 15-page mini-chapter that ties up the story with a bow, and hopefully for the Chiefs faithful, has a happy ending.
Nobody is saying that Reid should retire after this season, but the stage is certainly set if he wants to go in that direction. For 14 years he's been the architect of one of the league's best teams, not simply in terms of the players on his roster, but in the staff he's ***** embled around him. Year in, year out, Reid displays an unnatural ability to put people in the right place at the right time — and it's this element of timing which makes it only right to ponder whether or not this is a pivot point for the Chiefs to make a switch.
A lot of this begins not with Patrick Mahomes, but Travis Kelce. A Hall of Fame lock, Kelce has achieved everything he could ever need to in the sport. Now there's undoubtably a personal aspect weighing on his future decision, with Kelce needing to decide whether or not he wants to suit up again after the 2026 season, or if he wants to take a step back and enjoy life with his wife. Kelce married Taylor Swift this past summer, maybe you heard about it? Not a lot of people really paid attention.
From a football perspective, Kelce can still go, but it's clear from watching him that the game is just more difficult for him now. The numbers are still there, but playing in the NFL no longer seems as effortless as it was for Kelce during his seven-season streak of 1,000-yard-plus receiving years. The veteran is slower in and out of his breaks, he doesn't stretch the field quite like he used to, and if you talk to legendary athletes, that's what often pressures them to hang it up. It's not good enough for the greats to simply succeed, rather the realization that succeeding is now a struggle that pains them. Doubt begins to creep in, and the critical confidence required to dominate on the field is slowly replaced with doubt. That feeling sucks, and many athletes choose to escape it as a result.

Chelsea set a record low in yesterday's high-scoring 4-3 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, possessing the ball just 25 per cent of the time. Apparently, it's our lowest recorded possession stat in a Premier League game, since such things started to be counted in 2003-04.
Opta's one-word tag at the end of their tweet was "methodology", which might imply that this will be a common thing for the Blues under Xabi Alonso. We lost the possession battle last Monday, too, against Fulham, though that was a bit more even, at a roughly 40-60 split. But Alonso disagrees with the notion that this is part of any sort of overriding tactical approach. Instead, it's just one of the tools in our shed (end), ready to be deployed when the game, or situations in a game, call for it.
The overriding philosophy instead is one that harkens back to the previous era of Chelsea Football Club.
"I want to win, whatever it takes to win and each game can be different so we need to prepare for the best, we need to train for the best and be prepared for whatever scenario we have."
In an age when practically every top team wants to play possession-based high-pressing football that struggles against compact low blocks with endlessly boring u-shape passing around the box, it's been quite refreshing to see Chelsea go more direct. Turns out, you can pass forward whenever you want! And you probably should! And you also don't need to play it short from a goal kick either just to invite all the pressure; you can simply bypass all that and boot it up to your complete striker to knock it down or create for himself. Football doesn't have to be complicated: if you can be faster and stronger than the other guy, you already have an advantage.

The eight teams in the 2026 WNBA playoff field have already been determined. Now, those eight teams are vying for playoff seeding, and it's going to be up to the league's stars to set their teams up for success.
As the playoffs draw nearer, we put together a list of the top five stars heading into the dance. This list doesn't take career accolades into account. Rather, this is about whose game is peaking heading into the most important time of the season.
A change of scenery was just what the doctor ordered for Reese. After being traded from the Chicago Sky in the defining move of last offseason, Reese is having a career year with the Dream. Reese has established herself as the best rebounder in the league, and she's also shown that she's capable of extending the floor, although she still lacks the scoring consistency that could land her higher on this list.
Even with less-than-impressive efficiency, the Bayou Barbie's impact cannot be overstated, not only on the glass but also on the defensive end. She came up short late against the Fever recently, but more often than not, you'll want to take Reese's side in a tight game.
The Indiana Fever have the best backcourt in the WNBA, and that's thanks in large part to the career year Kelsey Mitchell is having. As impressive as Mitchell's 25 ppg average is, what's even more stunning is the efficiency with which she's putting the ball in the basket. Mitchell is shooting 51.3% from the field, and a staggering 45.% from the three-point line.

That didn't take very long.
Twelve minutes into his Seattle Sounders FC debut, Dejan Joveljić opened his Rave Green account, announcing himself to the masses at Lumen Field on Saturday.
Following up with the would-be game-winning goal in the 48th minute added up to a dream debut for Seattle's new No. 9 before Robert Lewandowski and Chicago Fire FC spoiled the matinee match with a late response, forcing Joveljić and the Sounders to settle for a 2-2 tie.
Settling for the draw didn't dampen the excitement of bagging a brace in his Seattle debut.

The NASCAR Cup Series heads back to Daytona this weekend for one final race ahead of the playoff Chase — get ready for the ******* e Zero Sugar 400.
After the Daytona 500 in February, NASCAR will return to Daytona International Speedway to wrap up the regular season schedule, this time with a night race. There are still nine playoff spots up for grabs, which means drivers will be competing heavily in the Sunshine State.
There are several drivers currently on the bubble, including Bubba Wallace, Austin Cindric and Shane van Gisbergen, who holds the 16th and final bid. Ryan Preece is currently behind the cut line by 31 points, but a variety of factors could shake up these standings come Saturday.
Who will make their mark as the regular season comes to a close?

Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Note: It was 58 years ago (Aug. 27, 1968) that I first reported for work at United Press International in Chicago, five floors above the Billy Goat Tavern. I've been writing for the company continuously ever since. Sunday will be the 45th anniversary of the first horse race I covered for UPI -- the inaugural Arlington Million.
It's a good thing it's a quiet week on the international front because the North American horse racing schedule is jam packed with goodies. There are five Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" races and three others that offer purses of $1 million or more.
One of those seven-figure purses is the $1.25 million Grade I Travers at Saratoga, the "Midsummer Derby" with Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner Golden Tempo seeking a virtual lock on year-end honors.
Another is the $1.75 million Grade I Ladies Turf Sprint at Kentucky Downs, where the advertised purses are for Kentucky-breds. Others run for reduced amounts. The third is Friday's $1 million Grade II Charles Town Classic in West Virginia.
The Travers is one of the few remaining chances for 3-year-olds to run against their peers before trying their luck with older horses.

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer is really high on Bo Nix ahead of the quarterback's third season in the NFL
Nix, coming off a broken ankle, is looking to break into the top half of signal-callers, and Plummer says there's no concern on his end about Nix getting right back to form this fall.
"I think we're going to see the same Bo we've seen," Plummer said at a USAA boot camp at the Broncos' facility on Wednesday. "The kid loves football. He's a great leader. He plays a game with a ton of passion... hopefully he can go through the season without getting hurt because we saw how important he was to this team."
Nix's importance to the Broncos cannot be overstated, going into one of the most anticipated seasons for the franchise since 2015. Nix's statistics are hard to ignore as well, as his numbers match up with some of the best in the NFL over the past two seasons. Plummer praised Nix's superb athleticism and smarts when he's under center.
"The kid plays the game at a really high level," Plummer said. "He's smart with the ball. He can stay in the pocket, throw the ball. I'm hoping he gets a little more anticipation this year, maybe not having to rip it all the time, but taking a little bit off and leading guys and knowing when the holes are opening in the passing game. But then outside of that, he's just amazing at what he does with his legs. He's so smart when he runs. He picks the right times and he's also very elusive, a lot more elusive and quick than people give him credit for in this league that's full of so many mobile athletic gunslingers and quarterbacks. I think Bo ranks right up there with the tops."

San Francisco 49ers' owner Jed York was arrested over the weekend. While you might think a team owner being arrested in a trailer park prostitution bust would be a distraction, the 49ers say it is not. Coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that since York has been away from training camp, it hasn't really come up.
"From a football standpoint, it has no effect on us," Shanahan said. "As far as what we do day-to-day, what we talk about. It hasn't been mentioned in a meeting today, it doesn't have to do with what happens on the field. Everything outside of there, I think you guys can judge that better than me."
Veteran linebacker Fred Warner agrees.
MORE: Who is 49ers owner Jed York's wife Danielle Belluomini?
"We're all aware, we all have social media so we see things," Warner said. "But at the same time, I've got a lot of love, a lot of respect for Jed, and don't feel the need to comment on the situation. I think the team was kind of the same way. It really wasn't a conversation being had in the locker room. Of course, yeah, you notice it, but we're so hyper-focused in this building on trying to prepare for Week 1. A lot of guys are on the bubble, trying to make the team. We're just trying to get better as a football team, and letting that personal situation, let it stay personal with him."

NEW YORK (AP) — Yordan Alvarez went 3 for 5 and lined a go-ahead triple in the eighth inning off Brent Headrick as the Houston Astros beat the New York Yankees 9-7 on Tuesday night.
Yainer Diaz hit a pair of solo homers, including a tying shot to the short porch in right field off Headrick's fastball to start the eighth. After Jeremy Pena singled, Alvarez ripped a low-inside sinker to the warning track in right-center for a 7-6 lead.
Alvarez increased his major league-leading batting average to .323. The slugger had his seventh career triple and first since July 21, 2024.
Pena homered off Fernando Cruz in the sixth for a 5-all tie. Daulton Varsho had two RBI singles for the Astros, who won for the sixth time in 15 games after owner Jim Crane said manager Joe Espada will finish the season.
Isaac Paredes added an RBI single off Headrick (7-3), who has allowed five homers in 68 appearances. Headrick is second in the big leagues in appearances to Toronto lefty Mason Fluharty and permitted a run for only the 12th time.

Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron were part of a long list of women waiting for Katie Taylor to call, but the call never came. It was not a shock when they were both ignored ahead of Taylor's retirement party – in front of 80,000 at Croke Park in two weeks – but a fight between Mayer and Cameron themselves was a nice idea.
This Saturday, in Birmingham, they fight each other with three world-title belts on the line, and it is one of the very best fights that could be made in the women's game. It is an MVP promotion, their second in the UK, and once again the full card is exceptional. This time, American stars face Britain's own in every bout.
Mayer holds the WBC and WBA belts at super-welterweight, and Cameron has the WBO version, which means there will be a decent scuffle at the end between the commissioners in the ring, all desperate to attach their bauble to the champion first.
In an ideal boxing world, Cameron would be getting her third fight with Taylor, and Mayer (who first fought for a world ****** le at super-feather, a full 24lb below this weekend's limit) would be fighting at a lighter weight.
The women's game often throws up odd fights at strange weights, and this is certainly one of the very best ever in that category. The willingness and ability of the top fighters to flip in and out of alien divisions has made the women's side of the sport so competitive.

Montreal, Canada -- Third time isn't the charm for the LA Galaxy.
LA had a player sent off for the third straight game in a 2-2 away draw with CF Montréal on Saturday, August 22, 2026.
Two red cards could be bad luck, three is a veritable problem.
"There's rarely a season I can remember being with a team that's taken three red cards in a season, much less in a week," LA Galaxy Head Coach Greg Vanney expressed. "Sometimes it's poor decisions, sometimes lack of awareness, whatever."
Like Emiro Garcés and Lucas Sanabria before him, LA Galaxy Goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski was the culprit for the dismissal in this game. The Galaxy keeper brought down Montreal Striker Prince Osei Owusu in the 68th minute to earn a straight red card to set up a nervy finish for visiting G's.

Louisville football's afternoon scrimmage was the easiest part of head coach Jeff Brohm's day.
Figuring out which players were eligible, however, was the tricky part.
"It changes every day, so it's hard to keep track," Brohm said. "Pretty much every day, we just call over compliance. They tell us what we can do and not do, and we roll with it. ... If your guys are here, you'd like them to be able to practice and play. So we're hopeful that can happen."
On Friday morning, Aug. 21, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit granted the NCAA's stay request in the Wisne v. NCAA case, meaning the new "5-for-5" age-based eligibility rule will not broadly apply to all student-athletes who entered college in 2022, barring an appeal. That ruling made Cardinals linebacker Kalib Perry, cornerback Jabari Mack and safety D'Angelo Hutchinson ineligible for the 2026 season after the three defenders recently announced they would take advantage of the extra year of eligibility.
A couple hours later, Mack and Hutchinson were deemed eligible. They are two of 13 athletes granted a temporary restraining order on the Tenth Circuit's ruling after filing a lawsuit in the Jefferson County Circuit Court. The order is set to "remain in effect until further order of the court or until determination of plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction," according to the court document.

Leandro Paredes has been handed a 10-game ban with Fifa handing out a series of heavy punishments to Argentina following the disgraceful brawl at the conclusion of the World Cup 2026 final against Spain and the display of a Falklands banner following victory over England.
The Argentina midfielder was seen throwing his opponent Gavi to the ground in a shocking post-match brawl after Spain emerged victorious in the World Cup final.
Paredes' team-mate Nahuel Molina, has been hit with a seven-game after sparking the chaotic melee by striking Spain captain Rodri.
Paredes then grabbed Eric Garcia by the throat and hurled Gavi to the ground. While Argentina coach Roberto Ayala, who was also involved in the fracas, has been banned for three games.

The Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints could not seem to stop fighting one another during their scrimmage on Tuesday, and now they are paying for it.
The NFL announced on Thursday that Dallas and New Orleans have each been fined $500,000 for the "actions" that took place. This is obviously not a good look for anyone involved.
It was documented as the scrimmage wore on how the Cowboys and Saints simply could not stop fighting each other. There was never any specific culprit named from the "action", but Donovan Ezeiruaku was ejected in terms of transactional outcomes.
Brian Schottenheimer has said at many turns that the Cowboys need to be more disciplined this season, and this is certainly a step backwards in that effort. Obviously this was not an actual game and things can be said about who started what, but the facts are now that Dallas has literally been fined for improper activity of this sort.
Hopefully it is a learning opportunity moving forward.

Richard Hughes may be leaving Liverpool at the end of the summer transfer window but, that doesn't mean that he can't continue trying to improve their ranks before he leaves.
Many different rumours have emerged about who Liverpool could target and who they could sign that would actually improve their team and, while three deals have got over the line, a lot more work still needs to be done.
The Reds have many problem areas among their first-team squad and, without these being rectified, it's hard to see how they'll do any better this term than they did last season.
Obviously, Liverpool don't have an endless money pit like some clubs and, with the amount of changes that they need to make, they may have to end up prioritising certain positions over others.
However, now that Hughes has been given the green light to sign one of the Reds' long-term targets, their plans may have to change.

Okay…was that really necessary?
When Bayern Munich first announced an additional preseason friendly, the logic made sense. Bayern's heavy international complement had a busy summer and arrived late to season preparations after the Men's World Cup; head coach Vincent Kompany wanted more time for players who could not appear in the Asia tour.
However the way the scheduled ended up, Bayern handed itself some early match congestion before the season even began. Tuesday's match at FC Heidenheim comes just three days on the heel of the previous contest, an intense Telekom Cup bout against RB Leipzig. And it is now just four days to the next match, the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Borussia Dortmund.
The Leipzig match already had all the makings of a preview of in-season intensity — without any of the stakes. The Supercup, likewise, is an official in season competition — but not one with the weight of the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, or Champions League. These two matches together were a good way to ease into the season. So why add a third in between them?
Against Heidenheim, Bayern's big stars played…well, some of them, and not a lot. Harry Kane and Michael Olise had just 30 minutes; the likes of Luis Díaz, Ismael Saibari, and Jamal Musiala already played at the weekend. Kane's spoken already on his uncertainty of being ready for a full 90' at the Supercup, so his cameo Tuesday appears to have done little other than reduce his recovery time.
