The New England Patriots' regular season is underway, which also means that their roster and practice squad will undergo near-constant change. For reference, between the opener and regular season finale alone last season, the eventual conference champions made 102 different transactions.
It remains to be seen how many there will be in 2026, but things can get confusing quick. So, in order not to get lost amid any potential movement, here is our handy up-to-date Patriots roster and depth chart.
Quarterback (3): Drake Maye (10), Tommy DeVito (16), Behren Morton (15)
Running back (3): Rhamondre Stevenson (38), TreVeyon Henderson (32), Corey Kiner (9)
Fullback (1): Reggie Gilliam (44)

As the conversation continues on the Rams' apparent misfire regarding the decision to barnstorm into and out of Melbourne, there's another question that needs to be asked about Week 1 international games played a long way away from the U.S.
Michael Holley mentioned the concept on Friday's PFT Live. And it's a good idea — the league should treat the Week 1 international game like the Super Bowl and require the teams to arrive early.
If the goal is to export the game to the countries, the effort needs to be more comprehensive. Get there early. Make local appearances. Have multiple press conferences in the place where the game will be played.
It takes the travel strategy out of the teams' hands and makes the issue part of the overall obligation.
Yes, the rest of the story regarding the 49ers-Rams travel adventure will unfold in Week 2, and possibly beyond. But the 49ers seemed to be far more prepared to play given their decision to go to Australia a week early. Having both teams arrive on the same day avoids the possibility that one team will be acclimated and one won't.

What's done is done. Western Michigan lost, Michigan won, and that's not going to change.
But one prominent WMU alum has floated another way for all parties to rectify the situation, in the wake of Michigan's stunning — and controversial — win over Western Michigan at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor last Saturday, Sept. 5.
Jason Babin, who starred at Western Michigan before going on to a long career in the NFL, said on social media this week that Michigan, the Big Ten or the TV networks, or some combination of all three, should actually cut Western Michigan a check. He suggested an "eight-figure" check.
His point: The big boys can afford it, Western Michigan sure could use it (especially in this era of NIL), and it's at least a gesture that would help all parties move on.
"I'm thinking to myself, 'OK, no putting the genie back in the bottle, what could we do to rectify the situation?'" Babin said on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this week, as the reaction to Michigan's last-second, 13-12 victory was still white hot, especially on social media. "Can't change the outcome. Can't say Western's got the win, frickin' Michigan's got the loss. that would look worse than Michigan fans storming the field after the game. The only thing I can think logically that could possibly make the situation relatively better would be an eight-figure check, maybe from the Big Ten, from Michigan, maybe a combination, networks, I don't know, somebody — a financial donation, we could call it.

At the beginning of the week, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell dropped an interesting update that the left guard position was still up for grabs in the lead up to the team's season opener against the New Orleans Saints. Incumbent Christian Mahogany and free agent addition Ben Bartch were to split reps in practice all week, and Campbell even said he'd consider rotating the two in the game if a leader hadn't emerged in the competition.
But on Friday, Campbell gave a little clarity on the situation, suggesting that Mahogany will start on Sunday.
"I don't know. It's a good question. I'm still thinking about that. There's probably a good chance Mahogany starts," Campbell said.
Now, of course, who starts the game and who finishes it could very different. Campbell's comments are vague enough to suggest that the guard rotation could continue and/or Mahogany could be on a short leash. He could even change his mind before Sunday. Campbell did note that both players have played well in the two practices thus far this week.
"I thought both of those guys did a really good job in practice," Campbell said.

Barcelona sporting director Deco has provided an explanation for the club's decision to reject the permanent signing of Marcus Rashford, in favour of bringing in Anthony Gordon.
Winger Rashford of course spent the duration of last season plying his trade on loan in Catalunya's capital. The Englishman, for the most part, enjoyed an impressive stint in Blaugrana colours, racking up 28 goal contributions across all competitions.
After lengthy deliberation heading into the summer, however, the Camp Nou brass made the call not to make Rashford's move a permanent one.
Instead, they turned focus towards deal for fellow countryman Anthony Gordon, despite Newcastle's considerably steeper asking price.
Speaking during an appearance in front of the media this week, the aforementioned Deco was therefore asked for the first time exactly why he and his team of directors opted for Gordon over Rashford.

It is a new era - but Aston Villa have been here before.
No goals in their first three Premier League games, with one shot on target, has followed a summer of change.
They open their second Champions League campaign under Unai Emery at Club Brugge on Tuesday aiming to ignite the season.
Villa took five games to score their first top-flight goal last season before ending the campaign triumphant, winning the Europa League in Istanbul.
Since then, six of the starting XI from that victory have departed Villa Park, leaving them rebuilding their forward line.

COUNTY CLARE, Ireland (AP) — British Amateur champion Stuart Grehan didn't flinch when he was 3 down after three holes against the No. 1 amateur in golf. The Irishman rallied to beat Preston Stout on the 18th hole Saturday as Great Britain and Ireland took a one-point lead over the Americans in the Walker Cup.
Luke Poulter of England held off 17-year-old Miles Russell in the last singles match on the course, giving GB&I a 6 1/2-5 1/2 lead going into the final day at Lahinch as it tries to beat the Americans for the first time since 2015.
GB&I had a three-point lead after the opening day its last time on home soil, in 2023 at St. Andrews, only for the Americans to win 10 of the 14 matches on Sunday. The Americans had a one-point lead last year at Cypress Point and lost only one of the 10 singles matches in a 17-9 win.
"We're ahead, but we need to reset for tomorrow," said Poulter, the son of Ryder Cup stalwart Ian Poulter and a senior at Florida. He turned the match in his favor with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole and a stellar up-and-down on the par-3 16th.
The crowd created a big atmosphere as it walked the fairways behind matches and surrounded the greens on the fabled links along the Atlantic coast in the west of Ireland.

Roma's transfer market doesn't stop with the September bell.
Discussions and evaluations have already resumed at Trigoria ahead of January, with Tony D'Amico working to anticipate moves and provide Gian Piero Gasperini with new reinforcements.
Free agents are still being considered for the wing, while the project for the attack is decidedly more ambitious.
The goal is to close a major deal early and then bring the new signing to the capital as soon as the transfer window officially reopens. And a name already being pursued over the summer is gaining traction: Endrick.
The Brazilian Real Madrid player had been in Roma's sights for months, before any discussions were postponed until the winter transfer window. Now, however, according to a report from Corriere dello Sport, the situation is changing, and the Giallorossi are gaining momentum.

The Golden State Warriors' reported pursuit of Jaren Jackson Jr. before last season's trade deadline just shows how aggressive, or, to be kind of unfair, how increasingly desperate the team has been trying to build one more contender around Stephen Curry.
According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, the Warriors did try to look at a potential Jaren Jackson Jr. move before the Memphis Grizzlies eventually traded him to the Utah Jazz.
On paper, the interest did make sense. Jackson is a former Defensive Player of the Year, two-time All-Star, and still only 26 years old.
But his four-year, $204 million extension was yet to kick in, and that is a massive financial commitment, especially for a player who is not seen as a top-25 player in this league.
That is why this makes Golden State's interest so revealing.

One of the hardest things to do for players on the PGA Tour is work to improve their game while trying to win every week against the best players in the world. But now, with the 2026 PGA Tour season concluded, Golfweek is taking a statistical look to see which players improved the most in key areas of the game, year over year. The first part of the series (PGA Tour most improved in 2026: Driving distance, strokes gained off tee) can be found here.
In his 2014 book "Every Shot Counts: Using the Revolutionary Strokes Gained Approach to Improve Your Golf Performance and Strategy," Columbia professor Dr. Mark Brodie dispelled the longstanding myth that pros "Drive for show and putt for dough."
What Brodie's research found was that the golfers who are consistently contending for wins on the PGA Tour and who earn the most money tend to be players who are elite **** trikers because they avoid making big numbers and get more chances to score birdies.
Making more putts combines improving in three skills: reading greens, judging the ideal speed and making a repeatable, high-quality putting stroke. As any golfer at any level will tell you, getting better at putting is hard, but the players in the table below did it better than anyone on the PGA Tour last season.
While there are several other putting stats that are tracked by the PGA Tour, Strokes Gained: Putting is the most accurate **** sment of a golfer's putting performance because it isolates putting. Counting stats, like three-putt avoidance as an example, inherently include other aspects of a player's game.

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season, providing the clearest look yet at the team Patrick Mahomes will lead into the regular season.
Kansas City completed its roster cuts Sunday after spending the offseason evaluating a 90-man group that included established veterans, draft picks, undrafted rookies and several offseason additions.
The initial roster includes three quarterbacks, three running backs, six wide receivers, four tight ends and 10 offensive linemen. Defensively, Kansas City kept eight defensive linemen, five linebackers and 11 defensive backs, along with three specialists.
The Chiefs also placed wide receiver Jimmy Holiday on injured reserve and defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott on the physically unable to perform list.
Changes can still come through waiver claims and additional moves, something general manager Brett Veach made clear before the deadline when he described Kansas City's roster as not yet a "finished product."

Bayern Munich's summer transfer window sees another talent join their U-23s. This time, the Bavarians' confirmed via their official website that they have signed South Korean left back Doyeon Kim, who arrives from Daejon Hana Citizen. The South Korean team, who play in the East Asian country's top division (the K-League 1), will part with their youth academy product for an undisclosed transfer fee. He will join up with head coach Dante's squad and provide valuable depth at left back.
Campus sporting director Michael Wiesinger had this to say: "Doyeon trained with us as a guest player for some time and was able to recommend himself for a transfer to our team. We have had good experiences with young players from South Korea in recent years and are convinced that Doyeon will also take the next step in his development in our second team."
Kim joins goalkeeper Jae-won Heo as the second South Korean signing of the summer, signaling the strong understanding Bayern have with multiple South Korean teams and the emerging benefits of such an understanding. It is preferable, after all, to be able to see a player up close and personal before signing them. Bayern had the opportunity to do so with both players and saw enough in them to bring them to Munich.
There, Kim will join Bayern's youth academy, one in need of left backs. In the U-19s, winger Skender Nuraj has been retooled into the only left back in the squad. The U-23s can boast just Richard Ajayi as a left back. Clearly, more reinforcement in the position was necessary and arrives via Kim. Whether this signing will push Ajayi back to the U-19s or if Kim will spend some time with the U-19s remains to be seen.
Finally, Bayern released an article on their website introducing the youngster. Some excerpts from the article can be read below:

Simeone confirmed Alvarez will not travel with Atletico for Saturday's La Liga game at Sevilla saying he is not currently in good health, having missed his third consecutive training session on Friday.
"From the moment he returns to training, I will do everything I can to make him feel important," said Atletico manager Simeone.
Asked whether Alvarez's situation could still be reversed, Simeone added: "As long as you have your health, everything in life can be turned around."

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has challenged Savio to score between 10 and 12 goals this season after the winger marked his debut with two goals in Spurs' 5-1 Carabao Cup win over Charlton.
Savio enjoyed a dream start to his Tottenham career, with De Zerbi pleased to see the Brazilian make an immediate impact in front of goal.
However, the Spurs boss believes increasing his goalscoring output is the biggest area in which the winger can improve.
"It was a perfect day for him," De Zerbi said.
"I think his biggest step, his biggest improvement is to increase the number of goals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Goodman homered in his return from a shoulder injury, Mason Adams worked into the fifth inning in his big league debut, and the Colorado Rockies snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.
Daylen Lile went deep off Adams in the fourth, but that was all the scoring for Washington against six Colorado pitchers. Mark Manfredi (1-0) won in relief for his first career victory, and Jordan Romano worked the ninth for his 13th save in 16 chances.
Andrew Alvarez (2-6) allowed three runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings with two walks and six strikeouts.
Playing for the first time in nearly two weeks, Goodman opened the scoring with a solo shot in the fourth, his 35th homer of the year. Connor Norby added an RBI double later that inning.
Lile's homer made it 2-1, but the Rockies restored a two-run lead when Jordan Beck scored all the way from second on a wild pitch. Alvarez covered the plate and received a throw from catcher Harry Ford before Beck came sliding in, but umpires ruled third baseman Brady House impeded Beck after he came around third, and the run was awarded.

Berkowitz has been living in a care facility away from his home in recent months, and the film documents his family's efforts to cope with his condition.
Mickey Berkowitz, widely regarded as Israel's greatest basketball player and one of the country's greatest athletes, is suffering from severe dementia, it was officially revealed Monday evening during the Channel 12 documentary Mickey Berkowitz's Last Shot. His condition is considered complex.
In the documentary by Niv Raskin, the Berkowitz family agreed to reveal the secret they had kept for more than two years, shortly before Berkowitz received the Israel Prize for Outstanding Sports Achievement, regarding the illness affecting one of Israel's biggest sporting icons.
Berkowitz has been living in a care facility away from his home in recent months, and the film documents his family's efforts to cope with his condition.
Berkowitz, whose parents immigrated from Romania, joined Maccabi Tel Aviv's youth team at the age of 11, where he was discovered by legendary coach Yehoshua Rozin, who has since died. At 17, he joined Maccabi Tel Aviv's senior team, and a year later led Israel's youth national team to fourth place at the European Championship.

The Washington Commanders fell 17-13 to the Detroit Lions in their second preseason game on Saturday. Washington's healthy starters played, but on offense, that lasted all of three plays. After quarterback Jayden Daniels was pressured on first down and forced to throw the ball away, he took a sack on second down after both tight ends failed to make a block. Head coach Dan Quinn had seen enough.
One series could've always been the plan for Washington's offensive starters, but it's also fair to wonder if Quinn saw the team's inability to protect Daniels and decided to pull them.
While it was a tough day for the Commanders' first-team offense, some players did stand out. Here are six players who came away from Saturday's game as winners.
Kaliakmanis came off the bench to complete 11 of 14 passes for 162 yards. He looks confident and is clearly comfortable throwing from the pocket. Kaliakmanis puts the ball in the receivers' hands, giving them a chance to gain more yards after the catch. Check out this throw and catch to Nick Nash.
The rookie third-round pick caught two passes for 41 yards. One play stood out, though. Watch how Williams goes up in traffic and pulls this one down with his hands, knowing he would get hit. These are the types of catches that help receivers earn the trust of their quarterbacks. It's also a case of Williams playing bigger than his size.

As reported by Alfredo Pedullà, while there is reported interest in ******* nal forward Gabriel Martinelli from Serie A clubs, nothing concrete has materialised to even suggest a proposal is on the horizon.
Roma's name has been linked with the Brazil winger, though for them he has never really been an option. Napoli are expected to have taken a look but have not shown an inclination to test the waters at the Emirates.
Inter, meanwhile, have been named in Brazilian papers as his strongest suitors, but no concrete proposal seems to be coming anytime soon. They're expected to be focusing on outgoings after sealing Curtis Jones' signing from Liverpool, and may only consider an opportunistic move near deadline day.
Valued by Transfermarkt at €45 million, the 25-year-old is now in the final year of his £180,000-per-week contract at ******* nal.
Martinelli had been expected to be on the move even before the arrival of Christos Tzolis, who has started the season on fire and looks set to make that left-wing berth his own.

Arthur Fery failed to replicate his Wimbledon heroics as he marked his return to the court with a straight-sets defeat by fifth seed Alex de Minaur in the Cincinnati Open on Monday.
Fery, who shot into the world's top 50 after his stunning run to the semi-final at the All England Club, was playing his first match since that improbable run was ended at the hands of Alexander Zverev.
And Fery showed signs of the same fighting quality as he hit back from 5-1 down in the second set to force a tie-break, before ultimately falling to a 7-5, 7-6 (7-3) defeat.
The match was subject to three rain delays as the weather continued to play havoc with the schedule in Ohio, although there were earlier wins for Flavio Cobolli and Novak Djokovic's conqueror Thiago Agustin Tirante.
In the women's competition, seventh seed Iga Swiatek stormed back from a bad start, winning 12 of the last 14 games to defeat Maria Sakkari of Greece 4-6, 6-1, 6-1.

The Philadelphia Phillies could be up against an increasingly desperate New York Yankees front office this winter, as both clubs could be looking for another impact bat.
And, because the domestic free-agent market may not offer many obvious solutions, the two big-market contenders have been pursuing the same potential star addition.
Dodgers Legend, 3-Time World Series Champion Dies Shortly After Emotional Goodbye Message
For the Phillies and Yankees, as well as another pair of high-profile teams, an international free agent option could be seen as the solution to a lack of power from the domestic infield group.

Two Ohio State players continue to receive preseason recognition on the offensive side of the ball, and that continued with ESPN unveiling its preseason college football All-American team last week. The "worldwide leader" only selected a First and Second Team, with special teams included, so it was an exclusive group. Eli Lederman and Max Olson only went into detail with the First Team.
The Buckeyes are expected to have one of the best offenses in the country this year with so much returning production, and it's that side of the ball that saw players named by ESPN. As you would expect, quarterback Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith were the two players that made the cut.
"A compelling case can be made that Ohio State's star pass catcher is the best all-around player in college football entering the season, regardless of position. Smith recorded 87 catches for 1,243 yards and 12 touchdowns last fall and returns for his junior season on the heels of back-to-back first-team All-America selections. Equipped with an elite combination of speed, explosiveness, and size at 6-foot-3, Smith is a matchup nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators, a go-to target for Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin and one of the top prospects in the 2027 NFL draft class for good reason. No current FBS pass catcher has logged more receiving yards (2,258) and touchdowns (27) than Smith since the start of the 2024 campaign."
Even the most casual fan knows about Smith. Widely considered the best player in the country despite what the awards say, Smith has already put together two of the best seasons we've ever seen a wide receiver do. So far, he has totaled 163 receptions for 2,558 yards (15.7 avg.) and 27 touchdowns. He's also rushed for two scores. He is expected to have another huge year and is closing in on breaking some of the biggest all-time receiving records in Columbus.
"Sayin took over as the Buckeyes' starter a year ago and immediately established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Prolifically accurate -- his FBS-best 77% completion percentage last fall ranks third in NCAA history -- Sayin threw for 3,610 yards and 42 touchdowns and flashed situational poise in his debut season. His third-down passing conversion rate of 47.8% trailed only those of USC's Jayden Maiava (48.5%) and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza (48.1%) among FBS quarterbacks with at least 250 attempts, per ESPN Research. Sayin will be tested by a more challenging schedule and a new system under offensive coordinator Arthur Smith this fall. But supported by elite pass catchers (see: Jeremiah Smith) and a promising running game, Sayin should be even better in 2026."
