LSU will not add former NFL signees Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris to its roster this season, instead placing faith in returning players Gabriel Reliford and Aidan Anding to complete the 105-man roster amid ongoing SEC governance tensions and a potential expulsion vote.
LSU added EDGE Gabriel Reliford and cornerback Aidan Andling to its 105-man roster, leaving no space for Dae’Quan Wright or Zxavian Harris under the roster cap. Wright and Harris are exploring legal options after securing another year of eligibility via a court order. The SEC has filed suit to enforce rules on former NFL players returning to college and is weighing LSU’s SEC membership in a Thursday meeting, with a TRO hearing having been scheduled.
The Mid-American Conference filed a formal appeal with the NCAA, arguing the replay review in Western Michigan’s season-opening loss to Michigan did not follow proper protocol and asking that WMU be credited with the win; the NCAA is issuing new timing guidelines to standardize clock handling during reviews, and if those rules had been applied, WMU could have won the game.
Cubs led late thanks to a Carson Kelly pinch-hit two-run double and a six-inning gem from Aaron Civale, but Seiya Suzuki’s aggressive baserunning and a fatigued bullpen let Milwaukee tie the game with a two-out, two-run homer by Jackson Chourio in the bottom of the ninth. The Brewers carried the momentum into extras, and despite Chicago’s best efforts, Milwaukee pulled out a 4-3 win as the Cubs’ late bullpen woes overshadowed Civale’s strong performance and Suzuki’s baserunning miscue.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz (No. 2) will meet No. 8 seed Ben Shelton in Tuesday’s US Open men’s singles quarterfinal at Arthur Ashe Stadium, with Shelton aiming to become the first American to beat the Spaniard at a Grand Slam. Shelton fended off Tsitsipas in Round 4 and then practiced to sharpen his game, while Alcaraz skipped Monday practice to rest after beating Tommy Paul. Shelton trails 0-3 in prior meetings but did take a set against Alcaraz at Roland Garros 2025; the winner advances to a semifinal against Frances Tiafoe or Alex Michelsen.
Real Madrid beat Inter Milan 2-1, and the post-match player ratings crown Courtois for a string of saves and a Man of the Match-worthy performance, while Konaté and Huijsen anchored Madrid’s defense. Brahim Díaz stood out as Madrid’s top creator with four key passes and an assist for Mbappé, who opened the scoring. Mbappé’s contribution complemented by Vinícius Júnior’s hard-working off-ball play; Dumfries struggled on Inter’s flank. Bellingham improved after the break, and Cucurella featured solidly in the second half, with substitutes making limited impact as Madrid held on.
Sports analyst Joel Klatt ripped Michigan QB Bryce Underwood after Week 1, saying a film review showed regression, poor reads, and bad decisions despite a five-pass start; Michigan’s offense had two turnovers and four three‑outs, with scoring scarce until a late Hail Mary, and the discussion growing that backup Tommy Carr could win the job if Underwood doesn’t improve.
LSU locked its 2026 roster at 105 by adding soph CB Aidan Anding and DE Gabriel Reliford, and opting not to include ex-NFL hopefuls Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris—even after a Louisiana judge granted an injunction to allow them to play—reflecting a cautious approach amid SEC penalties and ongoing litigation.
49ers defensive tackle Alfred Collins tore his patellar tendon in practice and is out for the season, thinning San Francisco's interior line as they prepare for a Melbourne-based season opener against the Rams, likely prompting a call-up from the practice squad (Sebastian Valdez or Kevin Givens) to fill the void.
LSU won’t add Dae'Quan Wright or Zxavian Harris to its 2026 roster, keeping the total at 105 after adding cornerback Aidan Anding and defensive end Gabriel Reliford. The SEC’s governance-and-eligibility dispute continues amid a federal filing, but LSU opened the season with a 51-10 win over Clemson and will host Louisiana Tech next.
Retired UFC fighter Diego Sanchez was jailed in Socorro County, NM after being charged with aggravated driving under the influence (BAC over .16) and a probation violation; the arrest follows a prior gun-charges case that yielded five years of supervised probation with a alcohol-avoidance condition, potentially triggering new trouble.
Dallas guard Tyler Smith will undergo left-thumb surgery and miss the first four games, including Week 2 against Washington, with T.J. Bass stepping in. The injury gives the Commanders a potential edge as Daronte Jones leads a new-look defense, though Dallas remains the favorite and Washington faces a tough challenge to capitalize in the rivalry.
The Indianapolis Colts signed offensive tackle Luke Tenuta from their practice squad and waived former starting cornerback Jaylon Jones in a 53-man roster move, citing the need for backup tackle depth behind starters Bernhard Raimann and Jalen Travis. Jones, a 29-game starter over three seasons, is now on league waivers. The club also added tight end Kenny Fletcher Jr. to the practice squad, a Rutgers product who converted from defense. With Week 1 against the Ravens approaching, the Colts face thinner backup cornerback options and may need another move to shore up depth.
USC freshman tight end Caden Ramsey was arrested Sept. 7 in Moncks Corner on charges of racing on a public road, just days after he played six snaps in the Gamecocks’ 57-0 season-opening win over Kent State; the team and coach Shane Beamer had publicly praised him the day after the game, and he remains listed on the roster as the university assesses the situation ahead of a game against Towson.
