As a seven-year NFL veteran, Carson Wentz has lived many lives as he enters his age-31 season. And, with the free-agent quarterback still searching for his next opportunity, Wentz appears to be drawing from his past as a source of inspiration.
On Sunday, the former Eagles, Colts and Commanders QB, as players often do, showed off his offseason preparation on Instagram courtesy of a post featuring several photos from a recent workout.

There’s a lot of drama unfolding at this week’s Wyndham Championship. As the final regular season event of the year, players are jockeying for playoff position. Perennial PGA Tour stars like Adam Scott and Justin Thomas are on the outside looking in. So is Charley Hoffman, but he has no chance to make it to the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Still, he’s out there competing on a Sunday after making the cut at the Wyndham Championship. He entered the week outside the Top 150 in the FedEx Cup standings.
So, it hasn’t been a great year for Hoffman, whose season ends after Sunday.

The Liberty University football program announced Sunday that freshman offensive lineman Tajh Boyd has died. He was 19 years old. The cause of death is unknown at this time. 
“We thank God for bringing Tajh into our Liberty Athletics community and we will always remember him as a Flame,” the statement read. “Tajh will be missed dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tajh’s family, his teammates and friends, our football coaching staff, as well as our entire athletics department and the greater Liberty University community.

It’s been a swift rise to success for Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs. Entering his fourth year in the NFL, Diggs already has two Pro Bowl appearances, a first-team All-Pro selection and led the league in interceptions in only his second season. But if you ask teammate Stephon Gilmore, Diggs is merely scratching the surface of his superstar potential.
“It’s a blessing,” Gilmore said Sunday of playing with Diggs, per The Athletic‘s Jeff Howe. “He’s young, talented, gifted. It’s exciting to teach him as much as I can because I think he can be the best in the league.

After Russell Westbrook finished last season with the Clippers, the team chose to re-sign the point guard on a two-year deal in the offseason.
Westbrook joined the Clippers after the trade deadline, signing as a free agent after being waived by the Jazz. He played in 21 games for Los Angeles and averaged 15.8 points and 7.6 assists with the team.
Although it was uncertain whether the Clippers would want Westbrook back, former NBA point guard Gilbert Arenas said it was a top priority for the team—and especially for head coach Ty Lue.
“I talked to Ty Lue,” Arenas said.

If José Ramírez decides to hang up his cleats and retire from the MLB, he has a future in boxing! The 30-year-old third baseman teased a potential career change on Sunday after the best brawl in recent baseball history.
It all went down on Saturday night when the Guardians and White Sox got together in Cleveland and started in the fourth inning. Tim Anderson pushed Guardians rookie Brayan Rocchio off second base with a tag at second base that ultimately led to disgruntlement and an ejection.

New Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is in the midst of a rough stretch at training camp but coach Josh McDaniels says he has “no concerns” regarding his quarterback’s play as of right now. Garoppolo has thrown a grand total of seven interceptions in just the last two practices alone. 
“We’ve also seen some very good throws,” McDaniels said, according to The Athletic’s Vic Tafur. “It’s a very competitive camp.”
Granted it’s just practice, but all eyes are on Garoppolo as both he and Las Vegas have a lot to prove in 2023.

For 27 agonizing seconds, Alyssa Naeher thought she’d kept American dreams alive. And then, in an instant, by the tiniest of margins, the USWNT was gutted.

With the smoke clearing from the ransacking of the Pac-12 Conference, four different weekend conversations with college administrators came back to the same place: a mingled bewilderment and indignation at the status of Stanford and California. Can two elite academic institutions and all-sports titans, located in a populous and affluent area, really be kicked to the Power Five curb?
As of today, the answer is yes. We’ll see about tomorrow. Regardless, there are no convenient solutions for the two Bay Area universities.
