Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow returned to the practice field Wednesday for the first time since injuring his calf in late July and had some fun announcing his return. He did so by re-upping an iconic meme of himself.
Burrow, an Ohio native, is a fan of the NBA’s Cavaliers, and at some point, the internet discovered a hilarious 2014 picture of a young Burrow sporting a very small LeBron James Cavs jersey with the caption, “He’s back.” Of course, he was referring to James’s return to Cleveland at the time, but the picture also describes his recent health update perfectly.

This was unlike anything we’ve seen before.
Nebraska women’s volleyball didn’t just make a statement on Wednesday night, it made history. 92,003 fans packed Memorial Stadium to see one of the sport’s most dominant teams beat Omaha 3-0 on what was dubbed “Volleyball Day in Nebraska.” It was an event designed to raise more awareness of the sport, while showcasing Nebraska’s dominance — and it morphed into something few thought imaginable.
Giants legend Buster Posey is a three-time World Series champion, a five-time MLB All-Star and an NL MVP, but one accomplishment has eluded him: his college degree. Now, he’s taking it upon himself to complete his résumé.
Posey told the Tallahassee Democrat’s Jim Henry he re-enrolled at Florida State, and his fall semester started Monday. The 36-year-old is enrolled in two courses: New Media and Social Change and Sports and Society.
“I’ve kicked the tires on this for awhile,” Posey told Henry. “I’ve been going back and forth but finally committed to it a few months ago.
Rams coach Sean McVay shrugged off the notion that 35-year-old starting quarterback Matthew Stafford is having trouble “connecting” with his younger teammates.
The question to McVay came after Stafford’s wife, Kelly, made a comment about her husband and the relationships he has with younger teammates on her podcast The Morning After With Kelly Stafford.
When asked if he was concerned about his quarterback’s relationships with younger teammates, McVay said he isn’t worried.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I’ll have a more thorough look at the Week 1 slate tomorrow, but I’m excited for the real start of the college football season tonight.

It’s certainly not a secret that Texas will get the very best from each Big 12 opponent this season on its way out of the conference. Can the Longhorns take advantage of the bulletin board material and break the conference title losing streak?
This is the question that is currently on the minds of every fan who wears the burnt orange colors, along with those inside the conference offices. As you’ve noticed over the last few days, coaches, and Brett Yormark, have shared their thoughts on Texas in public settings.
Josh Jacobs is back with the Raiders, new contract, new jersey number and all. Jacobs and the team found middle ground to end his contract dispute, agreeing to an adjusted one-year deal worth up to $12 million with per-game bonuses. He returned to the team roughly two weeks prior to their opener against the Broncos.
Jacobs discussed his return to the team on Wednesday, stating that there are “no hard feelings now” and that it’s a “clean slate,” per ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez.
The Cowboys unexpectedly traded for former 49ers No. 3 pick Trey Lance last week. The deal marked the culmination of a failed era for the signal caller in San Francisco, who was long thought to be the team’s future franchise quarterback before injuries derailed those plans.
Lance will be the backup to Dak Prescott in Dallas, and a fresh start to his career should serve him well as he continues to develop. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has been impressed with Lance’s work ethic in his short time with the team, eliciting an obscure movie reference in the process.
BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU’s Maason Smith will perhaps be the best defensive tackle in the 2024 NFL Draft should he come out. But he will not play in college football’s biggest game of the early season Sunday night when No. 5 LSU meets No. 8 Florida State (7:30, ABC) in Orlando.
This is because the NCAA suspended Smith for the game for receiving impermissible benefits (cash) from an autograph signing in 2021. The signing with then-teammate Kayshon Boutte happened just weeks before Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) legislation passed in July and August of that year.
The red-hot Astros completed a two-game sweep of the Red Sox in style Wednesday night in Boston, with closer Ryan Pressly throwing the coolest curveball of the MLB season to strike out Connor Wong and give Houston its fifth straight win.
The Astros are tied for first with the Mariners in the AL West, with the Rangers a game back after Aroldis Chapman blew a save in ugly fashion against the Mets.
