Training camp will begin on Wednesday for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and while there is always the potential that GM James Gladstone could continue to make additions, the roster is set with practices about to begin.
The next month of practices and preseason games will determine playing time at certain positions, establish the pecking order on the depth chart, and ultimately who makes the 53-man roster and practice squad.
But before it all begins, let's take one last look at each position group on offense for the Jaguars and what's at stake within each unit.

During a conversation with Turkey's Socrates Magazine, the 23-year-old was asked about some of the controversial narratives surrounding last season's team. Regarding his pairing with Durant, Sengun said (via YouTube's English transcript): A perception suddenly formed out of nowhere. I've never had an argument with KD, not even once. We've never raised our voices at each other. We always talk, and we always talk after games, too. We especially talked after games we lost. Like, "What are we doing wrong?" I specifically would ask him, "What do we need to do? Where do you think we made mistakes today? Why didn't it work out?" I ask him, and he answers. These things always happen, but like I said, because we're people who hate losing… you can see that on our faces during games. You can read it on KD's face. You can read it on my face. You can read it on Ime's face. KD also has a massive fanbase. I think about it like this. My fans will never view me negatively. I notice this. Like, there are areas where I perform poorly, and I see that myself. But, say, I'm talking to someone on the phone — they'll always blame others. I'm not that kind of person, though. I always hold myself accountable. I don't speak like that with anyone — whether it's a friend or family member. When things like that are discussed, I always say, "That's not how the situation actually is." Do you get me? I can't ease my conscience by shifting the blame to someone else. I don't like those kinds of excuses, and you can't get any better that way.

The New York Giants are less than a week away from opening their 2026 training camp, and we have been previewing the team's various units. Today we look at the edge rushers.
The Giants have been stockpiling edge rushers the past few seasons, using top ****** ets to draft, trade for, and sign high-caliber players.
"I think our defensive front, man, it's scary. I love it. We have – we're almost cursed with too much talent. We have that – we have a matchup problem no matter what team we face. I think just being able to work together and just play off each other and continue to build that chemistry, that's going to be key for us," Kayvon Thibodeaux said.
Thibodeaux may be right. The talent runs so deep that he is currently a backup. This past April, the Giants drafted Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese, arguably the best pass rusher in the draft, and are shifting him to inside linebacker due to the logjam.
Bullen is back as one of the few holdovers from Brian Daboll's staff. He served in the same role under Daboll the past two years and was inserted as interim defensive coordinator for the final five games of 2025. He is well-respected among his peers and the players. An astute move by incoming head coach John Harbaugh to retain him.

IRONMAN Jacksonville will return May 16, 2027, organizers announced, with general registration set to open Aug. 6.
The announcement, branded "Jump Into The Next Chapter," promotes an "evolving bike course."
The race marks the second edition of the triathlon, which made its debut in the River City in May 2026 and drew nearly 2,000 athletes from more than 39 countries for a course consisting of a 2.4-mile swim in the St. Johns River, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile marathon.
The inaugural race drew international attention and enthusiasm from participants. One competitor had completed more than 200 Ironman races across the globe, while another, a Kansas City retiree, said she came out of retirement specifically for the Jacksonville race.
The crowd's energy along the course was frequently cited by athletes as a highlight of the day.

Diego Pavia's first NFL contract was for three years. In total, it did not last three months.
The Baltimore Ravens have waived Pavia, the quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist from Vanderbilt, ahead of training camp, according to NFL Media and ESPN insider Ian Rapoport. Baltimore had initially signed Pavia to a standard, three-year deal in April after he went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Pavia, 24, will enter a 24-hour waiver period following the transaction. All 31 other teams will be able to file a waiver claim to take on Pavia's three-year deal. Should he clear waivers, he will become a free agent again, free to sign with any team.
The Vanderbilt product was a longshot to make the Ravens' roster in his first season in the pros. In addition to the concerns about his 5-foot-10, 203-pound frame, Pavia needed to battle for a role in a Baltimore quarterbacks room that already features an entrenched starter in Lamar Jackson and a proven backup in Tyler Huntley.
This story will be updated.

Over the last few years, the Iowa women's basketball program has gone big-game hunting in recruiting circles. It looks like Jan Jensen is doing that again in the 2029 class.
The Hawkeyes landed Addie Deal in the 2025 class, McKenna Woliczko in the 2026 class, and Jada Seubert in the 2027 class. She's done a good job supplementing those big recruiting wins with other savvy additions in the transfer portal. Jensen continued Iowa's pursuit of the nation's very best on Wednesday, offering an elite 2029 guard.
Top-ranked 2029 prospect Kristen Winston took to social media to announce she's received an offer from Iowa. ****** istant coach LaSondra Barrett made the call to officially offer her.
Winston is the No. 1 player in the 2029 class, according to ESPN. The 6-foot guard from Birmingham, Ala., is already raking in the offers from top-tier programs. Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, North Carolina, and Indiana have already offered Winston. That number will only continue to grow over the next few years. It's going to be a tough battle for the Hawkeyes to land her services.
Jensen has shown the ability to win over big-time recruits during her time in Iowa City. She'll need to do it again to bring Winston to Iowa.

Not even a week after former Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson filed for an age-based request for an additional season of eligibility after he was thought to have used up his four seasons at the conclusion of 2025, the NCAA has announced its decision to side with Hutson, who played in 48 games during his time at Texas, including 23 starts; throughout his era on the Forty Acres, Hutson spent time at guard and center. Prior to Hutson’s legal time filing the lawsuit requesting a temporary injunction last Friday, the former Texas starter was set to attend the Dallas Cowboys rookie minicamp after he wasn’t chosen earlier this year during the NFL Draft.

Incoming Barcelona signing Karim Adeyemi will not be permitted to make use of his preferred jersey number for the seasons ahead.
That’s according to Diario Sport, who have on Wednesday provided an insight into the situation.
Frontman Adeyemi is of course set to be unveiled as the latest addition to Hansi Flick’s star-studded Barcelona squad at any moment.
After the Blaugrana brass thrashed out an agreement with their counterparts at Borussia Dortmund, the 24-year-old jumped at the opportunity to link up with fellow countryman Flick in Catalunya’s capital.
Adeyemi has since made his way to Spain, waiting for the green light to pull on the colours of his new club for the very first time.

Oxford United head coach Aaron Ramsey has said that he is "fully committed" to the club despite the U's being put under a temporary transfer embargo.
Just weeks after he took over as boss, Oxford were told by the EFL that they would not be able to sign any players until they are compliant with their salary cost management protocol (SCMP) regulations.
This is Ramsey's first permanent management role in football having been interim Cardiff City boss for three games in 2025.
Despite it looking unlikely that Oxford will be able to sign any players this transfer window, Ramsey is hoping that the current situation may be resolved before January.
"I've been informed that will happen so hopefully it is the case," he told BBC Radio Oxford.

Tottenham Hotspur are growing increasingly confident of beating North London rivals ****** nal to the signature of West Ham United academy prodigy Isaac Allen. Roberto De Zerbi, Mikel Arteta and Nuno Espirito Santo are at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Emirates Stadium and London Stadium respectively. Spurs have moved swiftly to hijack a deal for the 15-year-old defensive midfielder, aiming to deliver a significant developmental blow to their neighbours.
This escalation marks a dramatic twist in the race for one of English football’s most coveted teenage prospects. ****** nal had spent weeks actively pursuing Allen, identifying the highly rated youngster as a priority for their Hale End academy. Gunners recruitment staff held extensive talks with the player’s camp, looking to secure his services as part of Mikel Arteta’s plan to integrate top domestic youth into the club’s long-term pathway.
However, Tottenham’s recruitment team has launched an aggressive counter-move in recent days. Spurs are reportedly very optimistic about reaching an agreement to bring Allen to Hotspur Way, having presented a clear pathway to senior football. With Tynan Thompson recently leaving Spurs for Manchester United in an £8 million deal, Tottenham are eager to replenish their academy ranks with elite domestic talent.
Losing Allen represents a painful double blow in the capital. For West Ham, the departure of their youth starlet is a bitter pill to swallow. The Hammers had hoped to tie down the England Under-15 captain to long-term scholarship terms at Chadwell Heath, but with the player seeking a fresh challenge, the East London club are now focused on securing maximum training compensation.
Allen’s stock has risen sharply over the past year, thanks to his tactical discipline, composure, and natural leadership qualities. Having captained England’s U15 squad, he is widely regarded by top-flight scouts as a generational anchor in the making.

Sir Alex Ferguson has paid a heartfelt tribute to his fierce managerial rival, Kevin Keegan, following the former Newcastle United manager's death at the age of 75 after a battle with cancer.
The legendary Manchester United boss, famously on the receiving end of Keegan's iconic "I'd love it, absolutely love it, if we beat them" rant, expressed his profound respect for the man he credited with building Newcastle's "best ever team".
Speaking to Track Radio, Ferguson said: "I had the utmost respect for him. We had many duels when he was manager of Newcastle, but I have to say the job he did at Newcastle was fantastic.
"He re-energised that club and he brought that enthusiasm and fanaticism that great supporters can give. That's the job he did.
"And he also brought three great players to the club – (David) Ginola, (Faustino) Asprilla, Philippe Albert – and added a bit of class to the team, and I must say the challenges we had with Newcastle at that time at United were huge.

Bhayshul Tuten has quickly raced up the depth chart since being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
When his rookie season began, he was listed third at running back behind Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby.
Bigsby was traded after Week 1, moving Tuten up to the No. 2 spot.
During the offseason, Etienne inked a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints, moving Tuten into the likely No. 1 spot.
Here are five things to know about Tuten:

The Detroit Tigers have officially moved on from Jahmai Jones.
Just days after designating the veteran outfielder for **** ignment, the Tigers have traded Jones to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later. The move gives Jones a fresh opportunity while allowing Detroit to receive an **** et rather than risk losing him for nothing.
The Red Sox announced Tuesday that Jones has been added to their roster. Boston optioned infielder Nate Eaton to Triple A Worcester to make room on the active roster, while Jones fills an open spot on the club’s 40 man roster.
Because Jones is out of minor league options, Boston will keep him on its Major League roster.
The 28 year old now gets another chance to prove he can be a valuable contributor after struggling to find consistency with Detroit this season.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Pride this morning.
The 36-year-old Swede joined London City Lionesses in summer 2024 after leaving former club AC Milan. As club captain, Asllani was a driving force behind The Pride’s Barclays WSL2 **** le win in 2024/2025. Asllani continued to feature for London City Lionesses in the top tier last season before sustaining a complex multi-ligament injury, including an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury.
Asllani is currently in rehabilitation and may not be fit for some time but London City Lionesses have stood by the player and have agreed fresh terms for the new season.
After signing on again with London City Lionesses, Asllani said “History is constantly being written at this club. To have been part of it from the very start, to have believed when some did not, and to see what we’ve achieved in just two years is the most inspiring part of this journey.
“Helping pave the path, earning promotion to the WSL in our first season and seeing the club continue to grow makes me incredibly proud.

Two of the top three teams in the world will meet on Tuesday to determine the first finalist of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as France (ranked No. 1) meet Spain (ranked No. 3) clash in Arlington, TX.
Les Bleus are hoping to become the third team in World Cup history to make three consecutive finals, West Germany from 1982-1986 and Brazil from 1994-2002. Their superstar forward Kyilan Mbappe, on an individual level, is aiming to become the first player ever to win multiple World Cup Golden Boot awards, having claimed the top scorer trophy four years ago in Qatar.
They meet Spain who upended France at this stage of the European Championships two years ago en route to the **** le. Led by teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, Spain have had France's number in recent years, also beating them in the semifinals of the UEFA Nations League last year.
The Sporting News takes a look at how this game could play out, and why both teams will have to make adjustments if they are to emerge victorious.

Northamptonshire head coach Darren Lehmann says there is "no problem" with his side's form in the T20 Blast after progressing to the quarter-final.
The Steelbacks lost three of their final four Central & West Group games, including a five-wicket defeat to Warwickshire on Sunday.
But Northants still comfortably topped the group to secure a home tie in the last eight against Gloucestershire on Wednesday after picking up more wins (9) and more points (36) than any other side in the competition.
"It's been excellent, we've won nine games, lost two of the last three and that can happen," Lehmann told BBC Radio Northampton.
"It's chopping and changing sides to make sure everyone's getting a run out just in case of an injury. We all got through pretty well.

West Ham's recruitment brief looks clear enough. They want more pace, more incision and, as Sports View reports, they have "identified Watson as a key target as they seek to add dynamism to their attacking options". That makes sense. The squad has lacked enough direct threat in wide areas, and if there is value to be found in the market, this is where it is.
Tommy Watson arrives with a story that already carries weight. He "boasts a strong reputation in English football", largely because he "came off the bench to score a dramatic stoppage-time winner in the 2025 play-off final at Wembley, sending the Black Cats back to the top flight". Moments like that travel. They shape reputations quickly, sometimes faster than a player's overall body of work.

Brighton saw enough to spend £10 million on him, but the move has not clicked so far. His "start to life on the South Coast has been challenging". He struggled for opportunities, then went to Millwall for the second half of the campaign and "could not register a goal or **** ist in 16 matches across all competitions". Those are cold numbers, and they matter.
Still, context matters too. Watson is young, he is an England youth international, and "regular first-team football is his top priority next season". That line is probably the key to the whole situation. West Ham can offer a platform, and they can pitch a route to minutes if they genuinely believe he fits.

Switzerland's Breel Embolo became the first player to be sent off as a result of a new law for mistaken identity at this summer's World Cup.
Embolo, booked in the first half, was sent off after 72 minutes of his country's quarter-final defeat by Argentina following a second yellow card for simulation.
The caution was initially handed to Argentina's Leandro Paredes for what at first appeared a clumsy challenge, until the video ***** istant referee (VAR) intervened to send referee Joao Pinheiro to the monitor.
On review, the official deemed Embolo to have dived.
The Switzerland forward was distraught to be shown a red card with his side having levelled against the defending world champions just five minutes earlier.

Luke Williams, a Vanderbilt baseball signee, was selected in the third round in the 2026 MLB Draft by the Washington Nationals on July 11.
Williams is expected to sign and begin his professional career rather than play for the Commodores.
The No. 35 player in the 2026 class by Perfect Game and the No. 90 prospect by MLB Pipeline, Williams is known for his speed and versatility, as he can play both shortstop and the outfield. He originally committed to Virginia, but the Pennsylvania native flipped to Vanderbilt in June 2025 after Brian O'Connor left for Mississippi State. He attended the MLB Draft Combine.
Vanderbilt still has plenty of offense without Williams returning players such as Brodie Johnston, Ryker Waite and Rustan Rigdon and adding transfers including Bud Coombs, Blaize Ward, Niko Brini and Hunter Ray.

FC Barcelona has reached a "total agreement" to sign a top young European talent in Jesse Bisiwu according to SPORT.
FC Barcelona has reached a "total agreement" to sign a top young European talent in Jesse Bisiwu according to SPORT and journalist Sacha Tavolieri, citing anonymous sources.
This means that six-month long negotiations between Barça and Clube Brugge are reaching a conclusion.
The agreement is said to be for $11.4 million (€10 million) plus a 30% percent stage for the Belgians is Bisiwu is sold on in the future.
Clube Brugge was effectively backed into a corner given the 18-year-old's contract expires on June 30.

Matt Conte, the Wake Forest catcher who committed as a transfer to Vanderbilt baseball, is withdrawing his name from the 2026 MLB Draft and will play for the Commodores next season, a source with knowledge of the situation told The Tennessean on July 10.
Conte is a draft-eligible sophomore.
In 2026 with the Demon Deacons, Conte hit .274 with 12 doubles, two triples and 12 home runs. He was their primary catcher, starting 35 games at the position and handling power arms behind the plate. He projects to be Vanderbilt's everyday starter at the position.
Conte was ranked the No. 304 player in the draft by Baseball America, which translated to approximately a 10th-round pick. However, after withdrawing, he will no longer be eligible to be selected. He was ranked the No. 21 player in the transfer portal by Baseball America.
Two other transfer commits for the Commodores are draft eligible, Western Kentucky lefty Dominic Monaco and Wofford outfielder Niko Brini, but neither is expected to be selected.

Four NFL teams have expressed an interest in former Detroit Lion cornerback Terrion Arnold since he was released from the Lions in late June, his agent revealed Friday during a court hearing.
Nicole Lynn, Arnold's agent, testified during a Zoom hearing on Friday in Hillsborough County Circuit Court in Tampa that the four teams are the Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, and Houston Texans.
She said Arnold had a workout with the Houston Texans on Thursday, where the team paid for him to fly in, and he had another visit this week and has one next week as well.
Arnold's attorney asked a judge to deny a request by Florida prosecutors to require Arnold to wear a GPS tether while he faces criminal charges related to an armed robbery and kidnapping plot that happened in Tampa in February. He's one of seven people who have been charged.
Harvey Steinberg, Arnold's attorney, said last week that three teams had already expressed an interest in Arnold, but that's now grown to four. A judge on Friday denied prosecutors' request to require the cornerback to wear a GPS tether.

Manchester United potentially have a gem on their hands, one who could form the bedrock of his national team for years to come.
The Red Devils’ main challenge this summer was to find the ideal replacement for Casemiro, who is all set to join Major League Soccer side Inter Miami.
Before leaving, the Brazilian recommended INEOS to sign Ederson from Atalanta, which United promptly did.
The former Salernitana ace was subsequently called up for the World Cup, and United fans were excited to see their new recruit in action.
Instead, the 26-year-old was limited to two cameo appearances off the bench, and he flattered to deceive in both.

LSU baseball outfielder Derek Curiel has been a star for Jay Johnson's club since he stepped foot on campus two years ago.
Curiel was a highly-touted recruit coming out of Orange Lutheran High School in West Covina, California and many believed he would go pro. But Johnson and his staff were fortunate to convince him to come to school.
Across two seasons with LSU, he was a career .349 hitter with a .975 on-base plus slugging percentage. He hit 13 home runs while racking up 38 doubles. Curiel scored 131 runs and batted in 101 runs in 126 games for the Tigers.

Cam Skattebo made a lot of noise early last season. He outperformed his NFL draft status, appearing in eight games for the New York Giants, including five starts. The running back delivered impactful plays that received a lot of praise. He also cemented his spot in the starting unit despite only being drafted at No. 105.
However, an ankle injury cut short his rookie year in Week 8. Skattebo has been rehabbing for a potential return in Week 1. He posted his photos from last year and this offseason on X on Wednesday, featuring his new hairstyle.

CHICAGO — Since last Wednesday, Payton Tolle had thought about his last outing — a three-inning start in which he allowed a season-high six runs on seven hits.
The Red Sox lefty thought about it on the flight out to Anaheim that night, and with two off-days on the schedule sandwiched around the series with the Angels, he had even more time to ruminate.
But apparently, he put his time to good use. Tuesday was his opportunity to flush that memory.
“I had a recalibration, a reset,” said Tolle after he blanked the Chicago White Sox over six innings in the Red Sox’ 8-1 win at Rate Field. “I needed it a little bit. It was good. The last outing, I was out of character, is probably the best way to put it. I was kind of getting nitpicky and not really flying through the zone. I thought we did a better job of that in this game. I was able to press the right **** ons and come back out here and compete.
“Those (poor outings) are going to happen. But you learn and go on to the next (one). And we needed it. So we learned a lot about ourselves.”
