Frank Selvy, who set an NCAA Division I record with a 100-point game in 1954, died Tuesday at 91. His alma mater, South Carolina's Furman University, confirmed the passing of the All-America guard. "It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Frank Selvy, Furman's all-time greatest athlete, a consensus All-American, NBA all-star, distinguished member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and one of the greatest scorers in the history of college basketball," said Jason Donnelly, Furman's vice president of intercollegiate athletics. A two-time Southern Conference Player of the Year, Selvy led the NCAA with 41.7 points per game in 1953-54. Selvy's milestone moment happened Feb. 13 that season in Greenville, S.C. He reached the century mark with 41 field goals and 18 free throws in the Paladins' 145-95 victory against visiting Newberry. Dubbed "The Corbin Comet" after his hometown of Corbin, Ky., Selvy averaged 32.5 points over three seasons at Furman and scored 40 or more points 22 times. Selvy was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1954 NBA Draft by the Baltimore Bullets. The two-time All-Star played nine seasons with the Bullets, Milwaukee/St. Louis Hawks, New York Knicks, Syracuse Nationals and Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers.

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. was carted off the field Tuesday, but NFL Network reported the diagnosis at the Hospital for Special Surgery brought significant relief before nightfall. Tracy is likely to be listed as day-to-day with a low ankle sprain, NFL Network reported, counter to concern from the team he suffered a serious non-contact injury during a special teams drill. Tracy, 24, carried the ball five times for 26 yards in the Giants' preseason opener, a 14-3 win against the Detroit Lions on Thursday. "Very difficult. We put a lot into this," running back Devin Singletary said after practice, fearing a long-term injury. "A lot of potential. It's been great. Coming in as a rookie, playing the way he's been playing, I would say he hasn't really been playing like a rookie. He's been like a second- or third-year player, the way he's been performing. Of course, he still has room to grow, but he's off to a good start." The Giants selected Tracy in the fifth round of April's draft. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound back is listed third on the team's depth chart at running back. He started his college career at Iowa and finished it at Purdue. In 2023, he had 716 rushing yards, including three 100-yard games. He had 1,270 all-purpose yards, including 408 on kick returns. --Field Level Media.

Veteran wide receiver Martavis Bryant moved a step closer to his first NFL action in six years, signing Tuesday with the Washington Commanders. The NFL indefinitely suspended Bryant, now 32, in 2018 following multiple drug violations. The league did not reinstate him until last November. He spent time late last season on the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys, who released him on Jan. 4. He caught on with the Commanders after a workout at training camp. "He's in really good shape and he's really hungry to prove it," Washington coach Dan Quinn said, per ESPN. "He's been ready for a while, so it's good to have him here." Hoping for an NFL comeback, Bryant played for the XFL's Vegas Vipers in 2023 and caught 14 passes for 154 yards and no touchdowns in eight games. Bryant caught 145 passes for 2,183 yards and 17 touchdowns in 44 games (18 starts) with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2014-15, 2017) and then-Oakland Raiders (2018). He was a fourth-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2014. Bryant was suspended four games in 2015 for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He was suspended for the entire 2016 campaign after reportedly missing multiple drug tests, then suspended indefinitely two years later for violating the terms of his conditional reinstatement. The 6-foot-4 Bryant adds much-needed size to the Commanders' receiving corps. "Martavis has a really cool skill set. He's got size and length and the ability to use him in the red zone," said Quinn, who was the Cowboys' defensive coordinator last year when they signed Bryant to the practice squad. "He looks like a linebacker playing wideout from a size standpoint." --Field Level Media.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool landed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a lingering toe injury. Claypool last practiced on July 28. The 26-year-old Claypool was looking for a fresh start in Buffalo after spending his first four NFL seasons in three different cities. He signed a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Bills in May. The Steelers selected the Canadian in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent two seasons with Pittsburgh and tallied 11 touchdowns and 889 yards from scrimmage in his first season in 16 games (six starts). In 2021, he started 13 of his 15 games played and gained 956 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns. He was traded to the Chicago Bears in November 2022 for a 2023 second-round pick that the Steelers used on Joey Porter Jr. Unhappy in Chicago, Claypool was traded to the Miami Dolphins last October with a 2025 seventh-round pick for a 2025 sixth-round pick. He totaled eight receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown last season. Speaking of the rash of injuries training-camp injuries to hit the Bills, head coach Sean McDermott said recently it was unfortunate the coaching staff wasn't getting a good look at the players. "It's just hard to evaluate when the players aren't out there, whether it's Chase or anybody," he said. "And I know he's fighting like crazy to get back, and we're anxious to have him back." Claypool has caught 175 passes for 2,261 yards and 13 touchdowns in 58 games (32 starts). --Field Level Media.
