Bears lose WR Cameron Meredith to knee injury against Titans
- August 28, 2017
Meredith made a 16-yard catch Sunday when he was hit by Titans cornerback Logan Ryan and safety Johnathan Cyprien . An air cast and cart being used for Meredith do not indicate fracture but instead significant knee ligament instability. That was a high-profile example of the dangers of National Football League preseason; today, we got another example, though it happened to a player with whom you're likely not quite as familiar.

Steelers vs. Colts: Roethlisberger rusty & other halftime thoughts
- August 28, 2017
Saturday was a confidence-builder for Tolzien and the Colts because they needed to see something out of the offense to give them hope that they can be effective without Luck if he doesn't play against the Rams. "Getting ready for the season opener", Davis said. Jones hit tight end Xavier Grimble for a 10-yard score in the third quarter, but was intercepted in the end zone with less than five minutes to go and Pittsburgh trailing. (more...)

Mourinho may have been considering switching Martial for Rashford at that point, but it was from the Frenchman's cross that United won a 53rd-minute penalty as the ball crashed into Danny Simpson's arm from close range.

West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City share the points

Stoke started the game in a 3-4-3, but with Geoff Cameron in at wing-back instead of Mame Biram Diouf . West Brom manager Tony Pulis has confirmed Swansea City's interest in Baggies' winger Nacer Chadli. However, it was a very drab first half with set-pieces seemingly the only way that a goal would be scored. However, in the 77th minute a defensive mix-up between Hegazi and West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster led to a gift of a goal for the away side. (more...)

Wenger said: "Sanchez has worked very hard to be back again and is available".

Bangladesh vs Australia, 1st Test
- August 27, 2017
Left-arm orthodox Herath and off-spinner Ashwin play a bulk of their Test cricket in Asia where pitch conditions invariably assist slow bowling, a fact underscored by a breakdown of their successes. The selectors will have a tough decision to make between Taskin Ahmed and Shafiul Islam, but Shafiul might just get the nod. Ashton Agar and Glenn Maxwell are likely to be the other spinners picked, which is going to heap the pressure onto the veteran off spinner. (more...)

New Orleans Saints fullback blocks differently for Adrian Peterson, Mark Ingram
- August 27, 2017
And what's positive is that a lot of the new faces for the Saints are making plays which leads me to think that maybe, possibly the Saints are starting to find the right mix of players that can hopefully make up a good defensive unit. But as Saints coach Sean Payton noted, forcing Watson to run doesn't always produce a good outcome for an opposing defense. So when I'm out there, I'm just trying to take advantage of those opportunities. (more...)
