Georgia trims travel roster to 74 for Arkansas showdown

Georgia is traveling with a 74-player road squad to Arkansas due to SEC limits, revealing a position-by-position breakdown: 4 quarterbacks, 5 running backs, 11 wide receivers, 5 tight ends, 11 offensive linemen, 10 defensive linemen, 3 outside linebackers, 7 inside linebackers, 13 defensive backs, and 5 specialists. Notable picks include Nick Peal at running back over Jae Lamar; all five second-year wideouts are on the trip, including Thomas Blackshear returning from a wrist injury. Marcus Harrison’s injury opened a roster spot; outside linebacker depth is thin with two freshmen among three players. Valdin Sone is the lone freshman on the defensive line. Colton Dermer is the backup snapper, with Harran Zureikat as the backup punter/kicker. Georgia will have a full roster next week at home against Oklahoma.

Penguins Navigate Ultra-Short Training Camp Under New NHL Rules

The Penguins must quickly evaluate players in a three-practice, four-game preseason due to the NHL's shortened camp this season, leading to strict roster decisions, early intrasquad competition, and sending seven junior-eligible players back to juniors; veterans are limited to two preseason games, so coaches plan targeted practices to determine line combinations while minimizing injuries.

USMNT bets on youth and experience for Peru-Chile friendlies with Sullivan and Reyna

NFL memo bars LSU ex-pros from 2026 season

The NFL reiterated in a memo that Zxavian Harris and Dae’Quan Wright, two players who left NFL training camps to enroll at LSU, are ineligible to play for the remainder of the 2026 season after returning to college. The league had said players who return to college surrender NFL eligibility, and despite LSU's roster moves and a court ruling that allowed their return, both players now remain sidelined for 2026, unable to play at either level.

Knicks bring Konchar and Eubanks to training camp for a final roster battle

New signings John Konchar and Drew Eubanks join the Knicks on training-camp deals to compete for the last roster spot; Konchar offers wing depth and potential shooting versatility, while Eubanks adds size and versatility. Due to second apron cap rules, it's unlikely both make Opening Night, and the moves could foreshadow a trade or further roster moves. The Knicks currently have 17 players in camp with room for four more.

SEC still undecided on LSU punishment after virtual presidents' meeting

The SEC presidents met virtually to discuss potential penalties for LSU over its pursuit of NFL-bound players but left without a decision, saying discussions will continue toward a resolution. LSU president Wade Rousse attended only briefly due to his status as a defendant in the SEC’s federal lawsuit. LSU also decided not to sign two former Ole Miss players, freeing roster spots for two injured players, and the league removed a vote to expel LSU from the agenda after LSU’s actions. The saga traces to an Aug. 19 TRO and SEC rules banning players with pro contracts, with ongoing litigation and implications for LSU basketball as well; no final punishment has been decided.

SEC Slams LSU's Ex-NFL Roster Push as Kiffin Faces Backlash

SEC insiders labeled LSU “unserious” amid Lane Kiffin’s push to add former NFL players for 2026, with ESPN’s Dan Wetzel reporting Kiffin attempted to lock the Tigers’ roster by adding Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris — neither of whom appeared on LSU’s active roster for the season-opening 51–10 win over Clemson. The controversy follows a potential LSU expulsion vote by SEC presidents, which Wetzel said has essentially zero chance of passing. The saga underscores tensions as Kiffin navigates his first LSU season, which began with a dominant win over Clemson before LSU faces Louisiana Tech and then Ole Miss.
