Reports: Bucs LB David Walker (ACL) out for season
The 2025 fourth-round draft pick out of Central Arkansas sustained the knee injury during Friday's practice at training camp.
Walker, 25, was projected for a backup role this season behind starting outside linebackers Haason Reddick and Yaya Diaby.
Walker earned the Buck Buchanan Award last season as the best defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision. The three-time All-American led the FCS with 23 tackles for loss and tallied 10.5 sacks in 12 games in 2024.

The event has been revamped, taking place before the main singles draw begins. It will consist of best-of-three-set matches, with short sets of up to four games and no-ad in games that reach a score of deuce (40-all), meaning that the winner of the next point wins the game. If the teams split sets, a 10-point match tie-break will be played instead of a third set. The first team to earn 10 points in the tie-break, with an advantage of two or more points – will win the match. The final will be a best-of-three-set match, with sets maxing out at six games. Raducanu and Alcaraz – who can expect to be given a portmanteau nickname of either 'Alcaranu' or 'Raducaraz' – are one of six teams who have received wild cards so far and two further wild cards are set to be announced at a later date to take the overall number of teams competing to 16. Eight of the total 16 pairs have received direct entry into the draw, including Emma Navarro and Jannik Sinner along with Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud.

Is Caitlin Clark playing for the Indiana Fever tonight? WNBA superstar's injury latest ahead of LA Sparks clash
Caitlin Clark has had an injury-riddled sophomore season in the WNBA, and she's set to miss another game on Tuesday for the Fever. The reigning Rookie of the Year has been sidelined by injuries to both of her groins as well as a left quad issue, and last played on July 15 against the Sun. In that game, Clark injured her right groin in the final moments of her team's 85-77 win over Connecticut - leaving her holding back tears. The injury, which occurred with just 39.1 seconds left in the contest, unfortunately ruled her out of the All-Star Game, which she was set to captain at the Fever's home Gainbridge Fieldhouse. She has missed seven consecutive games heading into the Fever's clash with the Sparks on Tuesday night. With the Fever seeking their sixth win in a row, here's what is known about her availability. Is Caitlin Clark playing against the Sparks? While Fever coach Stephanie White has said that the guard's recovery is 'going well,' she has been ruled out yet again ahead of the game. With Clark struggling to stay healthy this season, the Fever are seemingly taking a cautious approach and have not provided a timeline for when she'll be back. 'I know she wants to be out here on the floor, and we want her out on the floor, but making sure she's ready is the most important thing,' White said over the weekend. 'I still don't know how far we are. We're going to take it one step at a time and one day at a time and go from there.' Tuesday's game will tip off at 10pm ET from LA. How many games has Clark missed this season? While Clark was extremely durable in her rookie season and during her college career at Iowa, Tuesday's absence will mark the 17th regular season game she's missed this year. Clark's injury troubles began when she missed the Fever's preseason opener due to left quad tightness. She then suited up in the first four games of the season before being sidelined by a left quad sprain, which she suffered on May 24 against the Liberty. After missing five games with that ailment, she suffered a left groin injury on June 24 - just five games into her return - and missed another four games. She returned to the court on July 9 before suffering her latest injury against Connecticut. How has Clark performed this season? Perhaps unsurprisingly, Clark has played below her best this season as she's battled health issues. Her points (16.5 per contest), rebounds (5.7), field goal percentage (36.7) and three-point percentage (27.9) are all down from her rookie season. In the four games prior to her right groin injury (after returning from a left groin issue), she was particularly ineffective by her own standards, scoring just 12.5 points per contest to go along with 8.7 assists per night. She averaged just 25.9 minutes in those contests as the Fever staff tried to ease her back. What is the Fever's record without Clark? The Fever have had to adjust to life without Clark for long stretches this season - and they've actually fared pretty well without her. In 16 games this season with Clark sidelined, Indiana has gone 9-7 with the help of Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston. The Fever have gone 8-5 in games which Clark has played this year. Indiana struggled earlier in the season to get results without Clark, losing four of six such games, but have won five consecutive games heading into Tuesday night.

St Jude Championship 2025 betting tips, free bets and latest golf odds
RORY MCILROY has decided to sit out the first of the $100million FedEx Cup play-offs, which means Scottie Scheffler will start an even hotter favourite to clock up win No 5 this year. Scheffler is as low as 5-2 with some bookies for this week's St Jude Championship, as he returns to action after swatting aside his Open rivals at Portrush. McIlroy currently sits second behind Scheffler in both the world rankings, and the current FedEx points table, and knows his position will not get much worse by taking a week off. He is the only player among the 70 who qualified for the St Jude to miss out this week. But faces a busy spell before the Ryder Cup, with the final two play-offs, the Irish Open, and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth all pencilled in. So the challenge once again is to work out who else could take advantage if Scottie slips up - and there is hope for the rest, as he could only manage a share of fourth here a year ago. Free bet offers from our betting partners St Jude Championship betting tips Defending champion Hideki Matsuyama has been all over the place this year, but I like the chances of one of the men who shared second place 12 months ago, Viktor Hovland. Hovland won the FedEx title in 2023, so he knows how to peak at this time of the year. And odds of 25-1 are not to be sneezed at. The Norwegian ace can be erratic, but his best stuff remains top drawer - like winning the Valspar, and finishing third at the US Open. Harris English 's runner-up finish at Portrush matched his performance at the USPGA. He seems to have found an extra gear this year. He is a former winner here at TPC Southwind - and has added a couple more top ten finishes - which makes his 40-1 quote look pretty appealing. Sam Burns has also shown a liking for this course - runner-up four years ago, and fifth last year. At 33-1, he has to come into the reckoning as well. Shane Lowry was on a heater before failing to repeat his Portrush heroics from 2019. He was living life in a goldfish bowl at the Open, and I think he could make his presence felt now that he is back under the radar. A 50-1 quote means he has to be considered each way, and Denny McCarthy also warrants a second look at 40-1. And at longer odds Taylor Pendrit h (75-1) and Matti Schmid (200-1) should give us a run for our money. ********************************************************** LIV Golf Chicago 2025 betting tips The LIV stars are also back in action, in Chicago, and I wonder what we can expect from Joaquin Niemann after his amazing performance in their UK event a couple of weeks ago. Niemann played like a drain at Portrush, asked his coach and his caddie, and then romped to a three shot victory. That is what you call a bounce back. At 6-1 he is probably worth sticking with, although defending champion Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau head the market at slightly shorter odds. Talor Gooch continued to show up well when fourth behind Niemann. At 16-1 he offers each way value again. And a pair of 33-1 shots - Dean Burmester and Tom McKibbin - complete the eye-catchers in this event.
