>>NFL Preseason Recap
(Undated) — The NFL preseason has come to a close. The Chiefs played a number of starters in their finale against the Bears. Patrick Mahomes completed eight of his 13 pass attempts for 143 yards and a touchdown. Kansas City opens the season on Friday September 5th, against the Chargers in Sao Paulo. Over in the NFC, the Cowboys were led by offseason addition Joe Milton in their victory over the Falcons. Dallas will begin its season a week from Thursday when it visits the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. All 32 teams have until this Tuesday to trim their active rosters down to 53 players.
>>Vikings Trade Sam Howell To Eagles; Sign Carson Wentz
(Undated) — The Vikings are switching up their quarterback room. The team traded Sam Howell and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Eagles on Sunday in exchange for a fifth-rounder in ’26. Minnesota is also getting a seventh-round selection in 2027. Meanwhile, the Vikes signed former Philly gunslinger Carson Wentz in a following move. The veteran spent last season backing up Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes.
>>Report: Buccaneers Releasing Shilo Sanders
(Tampa, FL) — The Buccaneers have seen enough from one rookie. ESPN reported on Sunday the team is waiving Shilo Sanders. The safety got ejected from Tampa’s last preseason game against the Bills after throwing a punch. The son of NFL legend Deion and brother of Browns quarterback Shedeur was competing for one of the Bucs’ backup spots. Teams must trim rosters to 53 players by Tuesday.
>>Browns’ Shedeur Sanders Expects To Survive Cuts
(Cleveland, OH) — A hopeful rookie on the Browns is confident about securing a roster spot. Shedeur Sanders said he’ll “obviously” make the 53-man roster when asked about surviving cuts. The quarterback also told the media he wants to grow into a player that can “change” a franchise. Sanders threw for just 14 yards and got sacked five times in Cleveland’s preseason finale against the Rams.
>>Rangers’ Semien Likely Out For Season
(Undated) — The Rangers are likely to be without a member of their infield for the remainder of the season. Texas second baseman Marcus Semien has a fracture and sprain in his left foot that will likely sideline him for four-to-six weeks, effectively putting an end to his 2025 campaign. Semien was placed on the injured list Saturday after fouling a pitch off his left foot last week. The 34-year-old is batting .230 with 15 home runs, 62 RBIs and 62 runs scored.

Chinese Taipei beat Las Vegas, Nevada 7-0 in the tournament final, becoming the first international team since 2017 to win the title.

>>Tommy Fleetwood Wins Tour Championship
(Atlanta, GA) — Tommy Fleetwood is celebrating his first career Tour victory after capturing the 2025 FedExCup title.
