Will the Carolina Panthers actually give their starters some preseason reps in what’ll be their third and final rehearsal of the summer?
After deciding to hold his top units out for their first two exhibitions, head coach Dave Canales was asked exactly that following Tuesday’s practice.
“I’m open to playing our guys this week,” he replied. “The same thing I told you after the game is true, though. We have to look at, ‘What does that group look like if we put everybody out there?’ Are there enough of those guys to say, ‘Man, is this valuable for us to get these...

Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston have a very wholesome gameday routine, and it’s awesome. It’s always really dope to see the relationship the pair have. They play around with each other — like when Aliyah jokingly predicted Caitlin would get a technical foul during the All-Star game — but also take time to lift each other up. (Caitlin has continually praised Aliyah as a positive light in the Fever locker room, and Aliyah won’t let Caitlin downplay her accomplishments.)

Pittsburgh Steelers fans clenched their pearls on Saturday as they watched Jaylen Warren head to the blue medical tent.
Warren caught a check-down pass by Russell Wilson and was engulfed by Bills defenders. Shortly after, he spent time in the blue medical tent before walking to the locker room. It was later revealed Warren had sustained a hamstring injury.
On Tuesday, Mike Tomlin provided a brief update on his running back’s status going forward. “He is out probably out for this week, but not anything that’s a long-term concern,” Tomlin said via ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.
A source of Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz said that Warren could miss a few weeks, while Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac thinks he could be ready for the season opener.
Only Tomlin, the trainers and Jaylen Warren know when Jaylen Warren will be ready.

Believe it or not, Michigan State basketball is listed as the favorite to win the Big Ten for the 2024-25 season.
Michigan State recently jumped to the top of the betting odds to win the Big Ten at Caesar’s Sportsbook. Michigan State is now listed at plus-425 to win the league, which is slightly ahead of Big Ten newcomer UCLA at plus-450.
The Spartans have been near the middle of the pack or the top of the Big Ten in preseason rankings so it’s slightly surprising to see them move to the top of these odds. But Michigan State has looked very impressive during their Spain exhibition series so maybe that has resulted in this recent boost.

Brendan Loughnane still feels elite, but he knows that won’t last forever. The 2022 PFL featherweight champion is at a stage in his career when it’s not about the money or the titles, but instead enjoying what he will not be able to in the near future. Turning 35 in December, Loughnane (29-5) feels he’s getting close to the end, and that’s why he’s had a shift of mentality.
