Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned on Wednesday following a week-long absence from the team.
Williams announced his resignation with a statement citing health concerns.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – AUGUST 18: Defensive coordinator Alan Williams of the Chicago Bears leaves the field after the preseason game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears at Lumen Field on August 18, 2022 in Seattle, Washington.
NEW YORK — In retrospect, maybe Yusei Kikuchi should not have mentioned the sleep thing, because now his fellow Blue Jays won’t let it go. But he seems bewildered by the attention. No, he wasn’t really joking when he attributed his early exit in Tuesday’s win over the Yankees to left trapezius cramping from a poor night of sleep: He only got 11 hours. He prefers 13 or 14.
“My teammates asked me how I’m able to sleep so much,” he says through interpreter Yusuke Oshima. “But, like, honestly, if you close your eyes, I feel like you should be able to sleep.
Stephen A. Smith has some more opinions on Shohei Ohtani, and they’re not particularly good.
Smith was discussing Tuesday’s announcement that Ohtani underwent elbow surgery, effectively ending his 2024 season as a pitcher.

According to him, that should end the possibility of the Angels, or anyone else, giving Ohtani a massive deal in free agency.
“I would hope that it would make the Angels and everybody else come to their damn senses,” Smith said.
Deion Sanders and Colorado football are one of the hottest commodities in sports, and the head coach seems to think the spotlight will remain on the Buffaloes for a long time.
During an interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, Sanders was asked about those who doubted Colorado’s ability to stay relevant. When asked why “this is more than a moment,” the 56-year-old gave an answer so good, he had to take a second to appreciate it.
“Because moments, that has consistency, translates into monuments,” said Sanders. “That’s another one. That was so good.
Wednesday’s comments from Justin Fields and the Bears’ struggles signify a disconnect somewhere between the coaches and quarterback. It’s an all-too familiar feeling.
The oldest reliever in baseball took the mound in the bottom of the fourth. He was tasked with putting out a fire—a man on base, his team losing, the order turning over to the top of the lineup. He took care of it as quickly as he possibly could.

This marked the return of Jesse Chavez for the best-in-baseball Braves. It was his first appearance since fracturing his shin after being hit by a comebacker in June.
The Pacers and guard Buddy Hield will reportedly begin looking for potential trade destinations, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Sources told Charania that there are no specific discussions with any teams yet, although Hield is interested in being traded.
This all comes after the Pacers reportedly offered the guard an extension, but Hield did not sign it. A potential move involving the 30-year-old wasn’t expected until next offseason as he enters the 2023–24 season on the last year of his contract.
What if Justin Fields wasn’t blaming the coaches, but admitting the truth about himself?
Fields described his play in the first two games as “robotic,” which shows he hasn’t purchased a good robot lately. They’re amazing! Anyway, he was asked why he has played so robotically, and this is what he said:
“You know, could be coaching, I think. At the end of the day, they are doing their job when they are giving me what to look at, but at the end of the day, I can’t be thinking about that when the game comes.
Cam Akers couldn’t find a compromise with the Los Angeles Rams, so the team is sending him to the Minnesota Vikings.
Announced Wednesday by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams are sending RB Cam Akers to the Vikings for a swap of 2026 draft picks.

Rams general manager Les Snead selected Akers in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Sean McVay’s adept offensive schematics appeared prime for the FSU star’s tough running and pass-catching. Injuries in his first two seasons stifled those plans.
