Ravens give John Harbaugh 1-year contract extension
- August 30, 2017
In total, the Ravens now have four quarterbacks on the roster, with Thad Lewis being signed earlier this month to replace the waived Dustin Vaughan. Perriman's had multiple injury issues since being selected in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Baltimore will travel to Cincinnati to kick off their regular season on September 10, which gives Flacco a couple more weeks to continue to heal up and get some practice reps in with the team.

Chelsea FC: Analysing Blues top transfer targets stats
- August 30, 2017
England global Drinkwater is another top target, but his presence in west London would be embraced rather than feared by a man already snapped up for £40 million this summer. "I think that there are not enough of us in midfield, especially with all the competitions we will be playing in". It can only make you improve. Chelsea have made four new additions so far this summer, with Bakayoko joined in west London by Willy Caballero, Antonio Rudiger and Alvaro Morata. (more...)

Paxton Lynch has shoulder sprain, out several weeks
- August 30, 2017
Lynch's injury also leaves Denver in a quarterback quandary for Thursday night's preseason finale against Arizona. Kyle Sloter took his place and played the remainder of the game. Adding a vested veteran for the opening-day roster would require the team to pay him his salary for the full season. The Broncos aren't expected to pursue Colin Kaepernick , apparently preferring to find a short-term fix among the list of this weekend's cuts. (more...)

Patrick Vieira says Arsenal must strike balance between physicality and attacking style
- August 30, 2017
Few people love Arsenal more than Ian Wright . "I don't know what to say about his future and what's going to happen with him now". It doesn't make sense to compare the two generations because we are in a different period. Arsenal were comprehensively outplayed and their humiliation could have been greater were it not for several excellent saves from Petr Cech. "There's leaders in the team to challenge and they have the experience to win matches". (more...)
