Shedeur Sanders had a forgettable Saturday afternoon against the Rams, a Week 3 preseason game that not only slammed shut the idea that Sanders should have always been in the mix for the starting job in Cleveland, but solidified the notion that he’ll begin the regular season right where he began OTAs: as QB4 behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.And that’s OK. Because you don’t need a phone full of league sources to tell you that the Browns preferred Gabriel to Sanders — we all knew this because they drafted the Oregon QB in the third round,…

And out of nowhere, he’s become one of the game’s most prolific base stealers.In the past month, Naylor’s swiped 11 bags, second-most in the Majors in that span.

He’s stolen against three Gold Glove-winning catchers. He has a career-high 22 steals for the year — half of them since being traded to the Seattle Mariners in late July — and he’s…

“There were two great fights,” Prograis told BoxingScene. “It [the Taylor fight] was just a different stage in my career. I felt that that Josh Taylor fight was a little hard. I mean, that was, I think that was a little harder of a fight because of his size and I think he was a better boxer. I mean, with Jojo, it was like, I just felt like I boxed him real easy, but that’s what my coach said. Like, ‘just stay on the outside, just box him easy.’ But I like to fight.

Take a poll of most NFL assistant coaches and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a single one of them who hasn’t held head-coaching aspirations at some point in their careers.Whether in games, practices or meetings, assistant coaches often place themselves in the shoes of their head coaches to both test and prepare themselves for the day that they finally secure that leading role.

The new Serie A season was 17 minutes old and already it had started to look like the previous one: Matteo Politano crossing and Scott McTominay scoring, just as they did in Napoli’s title-sealing victory over Cagliari three months ago. Even their positions were practically identical, the Italian cutting in from the right as the Scotsman attacked the six-yard box.McTominay’s finish was less dramatic this time around, a header instead of a scissor-kick, but he dispatched it with equal conviction. Serie A’s Most Valuable Player in 2024-25, scoring the league’s first goal of 2025-26. “Winning the Scudetto changes nothing,” he…

In the aftermath of what is considered one of the fights of the year, the unbeaten Nurmagomedov admitted he had “underestimated” Hughes.Whilst Hughes believes that Nurmagomedov will be sharper for the rematch as a result, the 28-year-old also knows he will need to change his approach from the first fight.Hughes says that has been his focus this year and he thinks he will be better prepared having taken his record to 14-2 with a 42-second stoppage of Bruno Miranda at the SSE Arena in May in his last fight.”I now have five rounds in there with him, so I need…

Bills running back Frank Gore Jr. has never played in a regular-season game, but his preseason performance suggests he’s capable of making plays if given the chance.A strong preseason helped Gore make the Bills’ practice squad as an undrafted rookie last year, and Gore turned in an even better preseason this year.Gore finished the 2025 preseason with 23 carries for 104 rushing yards, and 11 catches for 109 receiving yards.
