Buccaneers are activating WR Chris Godwin off PUP list
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are planning to activate wide receiver Chris Godwin off the PUP list, but he is still unlikely to play until October, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Godwin is still recovering from a dislocated ankle he suffered in Week 7 last year. He’s been one of the most consistent wideouts in the NFL since he was drafted in 2017, earning a 75.7 PFF overall grade or higher in every season.
The advantage of activating Godwin off the PUP list is that he can practice with the team in September. Earlier this week, it was announced that second-year wideout Jalen McMillan would miss a significant chunk of the season with a strained neck suffered in last week’s preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so the team’s wide receiver depth will be tested early in the year.
Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright leaves practice early
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright left Thursday’s practice early with an undisclosed injury, according to the Palm Beach Post’s Joe Schad.

Per the report, Wright was seen walking off with a “noticeable limp” in the joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Dolphins are already without starting running back De’Von Achane, who is sitting out the week with a calf injury, and Alexander Mattison, who was lost for the season with a neck injury in the preseason opener.
As a rookie in 2024, Wright ranked among the top 20 qualifying running backs in yards after contact per attempt (3.25) and missed tackles forced per attempt (0.24).

Walker, the team’s lead back over the past three years, has missed most of camp with a lingering foot injury, whereas Charbonnet has been present every day. Charbonnet had a strong showing in Seattle’s second preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs, turning five carries into 45 yards and a touchdown.
If healthy, Seattle will have one of the top one-two duos in the NFL at the running back position. Last season, both players ranked among the top 15 running backs in PFF rushing grade. Walker was fourth at 91.3, and Charbonnet was 14th at 78.8.

Expectations have been high since day one when Wilson was drafted seventh overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. He struggled mightily in his rookie season, finishing the year with a 47.1 PFF overall grade, ranking 105th out of 112 qualifying edge defenders. He took a big step forward last season, climbing to 52nd (66.7).
Wilson recently said, “I feel like I’m playing faster, way more fluid than I have been before,” per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The 25-year-old is primed for a big season alongside All-Pro Maxx Crosby and Malcolm Koonce, who missed the entire 2024 season with a torn ACL.

Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes We know that quarterback is the most important position on the field, but a great pass rush is the ultimate equalizer.

Rising stock: Arvell Reese emerging as a first-round prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft
Estimated reading time: 6 minutes Before every college football and NFL season, we go through a summer scouting excercise. We take a look at some of the top upperclassmen returning to college football, as well as some notable first-time draft-eligible true juniors and redshirt sophomores. However, even then, there are still some players who can come out of nowhere to rise up the draft boards. For the 2026 NFL Draft, no player has done that more than Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese. Reese, a 6-foot-4 and 240-pound linebacker, is a true junior this season. He hails from Cleveland, Ohio, where he attended Glenville High School, winning a state championship as a senior – he even nabbed an interception in the state title game. He earned a four-star recruiting label and played in six games right away as a true freshman […]
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s happiness is not complete as they encounter the first problem in their shared business

The grand opening doubled as Mahomes' 30th birthday celebration and drew an A-list crowd, from Taylor Swift and Kane Brown to Brittany Mahomes, eager to see what the city's biggest stars had created. For weeks, it looked like the restaurant had struck the right tone: part luxury, part Kansas City pride.

Is Nebraska’s no-show against Minnesota sign of deeper problem? Answer is up to Matt Rhule
LINCOLN, Neb. — This week at Nebraska has produced a list of questions and concerns in the wake of the Huskers’ showing against Minnesota.For instance:• In what scenario is it reasonable to accept that some Nebraska assistant coaches and players failed to take seriously, as coach Matt Rhule said, a Minnesota team that had won five consecutive games in this series before the Gophers’ 24-6 victory Friday?Advertisement• How could so much go wrong immediately for Nebraska after it reached a high point of success to date under Rhule with consecutive comeback wins in the fourth quarter?• Why were the offensive and defensive game plans out of alignment with Rhule’s vision of the style required against Minnesota?Rhule laid it out in plain terms as he’s not done at Nebraska in three seasons.“We completely failed,” he said.He called out the poor pass […]
Are the Dodgers 4 wins away from a dynasty? ‘We have an opportunity to do that’
History surrounds these Los Angeles Dodgers. You don’t craft a roster with this many Hall of Famers without acknowledging it. You don’t establish a golden era of franchise history without seeking it. You don’t spend this much money on payroll without craving it.You don’t get this far — back to the World Series — without embracing it.AdvertisementThe desire to become baseball’s first repeat champions in a quarter century, to bring home the Commissioner’s Trophy for the third time in the past six years, is an unspoken part of everything.In fact, manager Dave Roberts avoids talking about legacy and dynasty.“A lot of that I feel is meant for other people that aren’t playing,” Roberts said. “Let them have those debates. It’s our job to kind of put those topics on the table and we have an opportunity to do that.”Sometimes, the […]
These Clippers are deep, so Tyronn Lue has some hard decisions to make
The LA Clippers begin the 2025-26 NBA regular season with three things that every team needs if they want to be the last team standing in eight months: They’re healthy, they’re talented, and they’re deep.Yes, the Clippers are old. And yes, their franchise player will have the threat of the Aspiration scandal and the consequences of the league’s investigation at a date to be determined later.AdvertisementBut for right now, when Kawhi Leonard sees his team, it is arguably the best group he has had since he missed the 2021 Western Conference Finals due to his ACL injury.“Going back to ’21, we had a great playoff push going into that semifinals, I thought we had a real good group of talent,” Leonard said this month when I asked him if this was the most accountable and most focused Clippers training camp […]
