49ers Bolster Receiver Depth, Add Veteran Brandin Cooks to Practice Squad The 49ers' wide receiver room is banged up. Rookie De'Zhaun Stribling is on injured reserve with an ankle injury. In the team's Week 2 blowout win over the Dolphins, Mike Evans was held out for extra rest along with veterans Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle, but Evans was later listed as questionable to return with a hip injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Evans' status will be monitored throughout the week. Demarcus Robinson also suffered a high-ankle sprain in the win and will be sidelined three to six weeks. Cooks will try to pick up the new playbook and mesh with the team quickly, but it's unclear if he'll learn enough to be elevated and active for the Week 3 game against the Cardinals. If Cooks is elevated and activated, it will be his 13th NFL season. New Orleans drafted him in the first round in 2014, and he has since played for the Patriots, Rams, Texans, Cowboys and Bills. Over 12 seasons, Cooks has played 173 games with 9,811 receiving yards and 60 touchdowns. He needs 189 more yards to become the 58th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 career receiving yards.

The commentator for this Chelsea vs Leeds match just said Chavaria was not fouled, that the penalty was gifted to them by the ref. Is the Carabao cup using AI as commentators? Cos that is so AI ish. If that was a human being I am 100% he is blind.

The incident occurred in the bottom of the eighth inning, when Chisholm was ruled out at second base after an awkward slide into the bag following a hit off the right-field wall; the call was upheld upon replay review. He remained in the contest but showed compromised throwing ability in the ninth, bouncing a throw to first that required a scoop by Luis Garcia, prompting the Yankees to substitute Jose Caballero. Postgame, manager Aaron Boone noted that Chisholm's thumb was numb and indicated that imaging could be scheduled for Wednesday depending on how the player feels in the morning. The injury comes at a significant juncture: Chisholm has endured a difficult season overall but had performed markedly better over the past two weeks, and he is eligible for free agency at season's end. Any extended absence would cut into a critical stretch of momentum-building ahead of the open market. Boone expects greater clarity by Wednesday morning, leaving the situation in a holding pattern—one that bears watching for a Yankees club already managing multiple health concerns.

🎾Carlos Alcaraz remained upbeat despite his quarterfinal defeat to Ben Shelton in a five-set marathon that concluded at 3:33 a.m., setting a record for the latest finish in U.S. Open history. The defending champion, who entered the tournament with lingering uncertainty over a wrist injury that kept him out for four months, emphasized that he was leaving the court healthy and proud of his effort. He commended Shelton for a mature, complete performance, describing the American as physically imposing and virtually without weakness. Shelton, who now advances to face Frances Tiafoe in the semifinals, called the match the most enjoyable of his career. Among the spectators were two first-time tennis attendees—Anushka Sancheti and Prajakti Kapde—who purchased tickets without knowing the matchup and unexpectedly witnessed a historic contest they said they'll always treasure.

Carlos Alcaraz makes quick work of Tommy Paul, advancing to the US Open quarterfinals in straight sets.

Ex-Texas LB says Dabo Swinney should step away from football after Clemson's blowout loss to LSU.

Roberts says Notre Dame's shaky first half against a diminished Wisconsin team (4-8 and 5-7 the last two years) raised "the same old questions" about their September reliability. His warning: "nothing about this game should inspire confidence heading into the teeth of the schedule." The Irish face five unranked opponents next (Rice, Michigan State, Purdue, North Carolina, Stanford), but the real grind hits Oct. 17 with BYU, Miami, SMU, and others.

Thompson, 23, is a versatile guard/forward who led the NBA in total minutes last season while posting career highs of 18.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 1.5 steals on 53.4% shooting. He also made the All-Defensive First Team. He was one of just nine players to average 18/7/5, a list featuring Jokić, Dončić, Giannis, and Tatum. The Rockets took fifth in the West but lost to the Lakers in six games in the first round.

Sean Payton: Broncos downplay Marvin Mims’ foot bruise, expect him to be fine. Marvin Mims tweaked his right foot in Thursday's preseason game, but the Broncos say it's no big deal. He'd been dealing with another injury earlier this summer and needed the reps after missing the first two exhibition games. Still, the team doesn't expect the bruise to sideline him for the Monday night opener against the Chiefs.

Added cap flexibility:

Adams Shefter: NFL confirms 'Hard Knocks' offseason edition is coming back in 2027—this time following an entire division. The show usually follows one team through training camp, but since 2021, the NFL and HBO have also experimented with an in-season format. The camp edition has aired every year since 2007 (except 2011), yet only one offseason version has been attemptedin 2024, with the Giants. That series offered a rare look at draft and free agency strategy, but it'll likely be remembered for the Saquon Barkley saga. New York declined to tag or overpay him. GM Joe Schoen gave Barkley a choice: stay as the franchise face or leave for more money. Co-owner John Mara even said he'd lose sleep if Barkley went to Philly. Eight days later, Barkley signed with the Eagles. The footage went viral, and team leadership later admitted the exposure became an unwanted distraction.

Joe Sakic provided another optimistic update Sunday on Cale Makar's extension, saying talks are productive and neither side is concerned. He hopes to sign him before training camp. Makar is in the final year of his $9 million deal. Colorado cleared cap space by moving Nichushkin to Columbus. #Avalanche

🤕Ashton Jeanty of the Raiders is said to have exited Sunday's practice with an ankle sprain.

Bryan Hoch: Ryan Weathers lands on IL after leaving Saturday's Blue Jays game with forearm discomfort.

Eagles RB Ja'Quinden Jackson has full movement in all limbs after Saturday's scary kickoff hit vs. the Patriots. He's at the hospital for checks. He took a knee to the head, appeared knocked out, and went into the fencing position. Trainers rushed in, an ambulance came out, and the whole team surrounded him before he was backboarded and taken away. Jackson went undrafted in 2025, spent last year with the Jags without playing, and was cut. He's now in Eagles camp fighting for a roster or practice squad spot behind Barkley, Bigsby, Shipley, and Pierce.

Bellinger Expected Back in Yankees Starting Lineup No Later Than Sunday

Vincent Iorio is staying in NYC. Rangers sign the 23-year-old D to a 1-year, two-way extension ($850K/$125K). Claimed off waivers from SJ on Jan. 31, he had 3 pts in 27 games with NYR while averaging 13:05 TOI. Also spent time with WSH earlier in his career. 📝🏒

Klay Thompson's time in Dallas is officially over and his next act is already taking shape. The Mavericks bought out the final year of his $50 million deal, which would've paid him $17 million this season. Now he's a free agent, but don't expect him to be job-hunting for long. According to ESPN, Thompson is headed straight to the Miami Heat once waivers clear, on a two-year pact worth about $13 million with a player option to keep him in South Beach if he wants. At 36, the Splash Brother isn't the same player who torched defenses in his prime. Injuries and mileage have caught up. He started strong in 2024–25, playing all 72 games, but was bumped to the bench last season, averaging just 11.7 points and sinking a career-low 38.3% from three. Some fans dreamed of a Warriors reunion. Instead, Thompson is taking his talents to Miami, where he'll join forces with Giannis Antetokounmpo for what feels like one last roar a final chase for that elusive ring before the curtain falls.

Kade Anderson. 22 years old. LSU legend. Now Seattle's wild-card hope. The lefty, MLB's No. 5 prospect, has been absurd at Double-A: 1.06 ERA, 135 Ks, 13 walks in 93 innings. He joins a rotation of Gilbert, Woo, Kirby, Miller, Hancock. Mariners are 60-68, three games back of the final wild-card spot with six teams ahead. Anderson starts Saturday. Let's roll
