Reports: Eagles WR Johnny Wilson out for season
August 21 - Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson will have season-ending surgery on his knee and ankle, multiple outlets reported Thursday. Wilson sustained the injury at practice on Tuesday when his left leg got rolled up on during a running play. He left on a cart after being evaluated in the medical tent. The 6-foot-6 Wilson was drafted in the sixth round in 2024 and caught five passes for 38 yards and one touchdown in 16 games (four starts) last season for the Super Bowl champions. Wilson, 24, caught three passes for 73 yards in the Aug. 7 preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. The loss of Wilson makes Sunday's acquisition of wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans even more timely. Metchie, 25, had 40 receptions for 412 yards and one TD in 29 games with Houston over the past two seasons. He was a second-round pick in the 2022 draft but missed that season due to a battle with leukemia. --Field Level Media

The tournament will see the Red Roses hosts look to finally end the dominance of New Zealand's Black Ferns. 3 3 Ahead of the 2033 Women's World Cup being hosted Stateside, the US team will be hoping for a strong showing in England. The Eagles were the inaugural champions of the Women's World Cup in 1991, but have been unable to add to their tally since then.

While Maher was a rugby sevens star at the Olympics, she rose to stardom in rugby union in England after signing for Bristol Bears in the PWR. 3 Maher tends to play at outside centre - which is number 13 on the pitch, and will start there in USA's opening clash against England. The US star has spoken about the importance of doing well at this tournament, saying: 'We want the fans in America to see us play here because we've got a World Cup there in eight years and we need to start building for that.'

Sinner to start U.S. Open against Kopriva, Sabalenka faces tricky test
Aug 21 (Reuters) - Defending champion Jannik Sinner, who has been recovering from illness, received a more favourable route to the U.S. Open final than Carlos Alcaraz while Aryna Sabalenka will be tested in her bid to retain her title after the draw was made on Thursday. Top seed Sinner's health has come into focus since he withdrew from the Cincinnati final on Monday while trailing Carlos Alcaraz 5-0. He later withdrew from the since-completed mixed doubles event in New York. Sinner, who increased his Grand Slam tally to four with wins at this year's Australian Open and Wimbledon, will open against Czech Vit Kopriva and could face fifth seed Jack Draper in the quarter-finals, third seed Alexander Zverev in the semis and Alcaraz in the final. Reigning French Open champion Alcaraz, in a stacked bottom half of the draw, will begin against American Reilly Opelka and his road to the final could include a quarter-final clash with Ben Shelton and fourth seed Taylor Fritz in the semi-final. Four-times champion Novak Djokovic, seeded seventh, will start against Learner Tien and could face Frances Tiafoe in the fourth round and fourth-seeded Fritz in the quarters before a blockbuster semi-final against Alcaraz. In the women's draw, top seed Sabalenka will begin against Rebeka Masarova and her fortnight could include a quarter-final date with Cincinnati finalist Jasmine Paolini and a semi-final match with Jessica Pegula. Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek, fresh off winning her tune-up event in Cincinnati, could face Amanda Anisimova in the quarters. French Open champion Coco Gauff, the third seed, could face sixth seed and fellow American Madison Keys, who won this year's Australian Open, in the quarter-finals before a possible date with Swiatek.
