The Patriots’ 2024 draft class has taken another hit.Guard Layden Robinson, whom the Patriots selected with their fourth-round pick last year, was waived-injured. That means once he passes through waivers, he’ll revert to the Patriots’ injured reserve list. He may later leave the team with an injury settlement, but he won’t play for the Patriots in 2025.Robinson’s departure is another reminder that the Patriots’ 2024 draft class was, with the possible exception of quarterback Drake Maye, a bust. In fact, Maye might be the only Patriots 2024 draft pick to make their 2025 53-man roster.Second-round pick Ja’Lynn Polk is expected…

If Israel Adesanya is ‘washed’, one UFC middleweight wants to take out the laundry.The former two-time UFC Champion has had better days.

The Emirates Stadium crackled with anticipation every time the ball arrived at the feet of Max Dowman. As in Arsenal’s pre-season games, his team-mates made a concerted effort to put it there.

But most remarkable is that, as well as being Arsenal’s youngest player, he once again looked their most dangerous. Leeds could not contain him. The drop of the shoulder to win Arsenal’s late penalty capped a thrilling debut.…

NEW YORK — Anthony Volpe wasn’t in the Yankees’ starting lineup Sunday, and in a possible sign that his status as the team’s everyday shortstop could be in question, manager Aaron Boone didn’t guarantee that Volpe, who is healthy, would start Monday either.“We’ll see,” Boone told reporters before New York’s series finale against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.“I haven’t made any definitive (decisions). Let me kind of get through today and do all we can to win tonight and we’ll see heading into tomorrow.” Boone did not guarantee that Volpe will be back in the starting lineup tomorrow.…

SAN DIEGO — A heckler next to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ dugout spent his entire Sunday giving an earful to the visitors, including a nonstop barrage of digs and chirps at Shohei Ohtani for his hitless performance in a portentous weekend series against the San Diego Padres.When Ohtani crushed his 45th homer and delivered the knockout blow in the ninth inning of the Dodgers’ 8-2 victory, the normally decorous three-time MVP detoured on his way back to the dugout to slap hands — and get the last word — with the chagrined Padres fan.The Dodgers loved to see it, along…

The Philadelphia Eagles made two trades on Sunday, first reacquiring offensive tackle Fred Johnson from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2026 seventh-round pick, then sending reserve offensive lineman Darian Kinnard to the Green Bay Packers for a 2027 sixth-round pick. League sources confirmed the deals to The Athletic.The Eagles were scheduled to enter the 2025 season with precarious depth on the offensive line. They attempted to backfill their swing tackle spot after Johnson’s departure in free agency by signing Matt Pryor and Kendall Lamm, but neither player’s performance in training camp suggested they’d be reliable options.Johnson is familiar with the…
