Dolphins activate TE Darren Waller from PUP list
August 20 - The Miami Dolphins activated veteran tight end Darren Waller from the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday. Waller, who announced his retirement 14 months ago, joined Miami in a July 1 trade with the New York Giants and has been working to get back into football shape. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel recently said he expected Waller, who turns 33 next month, to begin practicing "sooner rather than later." Waller's one-year deal in Miami is worth up to $5 million, according to agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey. He played one season with the Giants, catching 52 passes for 552 yards and one touchdown in 12 games in 2023 before stepping away from the game in July 2024. Reasons cited for his retirement included a medical scare, a loss of "passion" for football and a burgeoning music career. The Giants traded Waller and a conditional 2027 seventh-round draft pick to Miami for a conditional sixth-round pick in 2026. Waller has 350 career receptions for 4,124 yards and 20 TDs in 86 games (63 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens (2015-16), Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2018-22) and Giants. He made the Pro Bowl in 2020 with 107 catches for 1,196 yards and nine scores. Waller is in line to start for the Dolphins, who traded tight end Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this summer. Other tight ends on the current roster include Julian Hill, Pharaoh Brown, Tanner Conner, Chris Myarick and Hayden Rucci. Miami finishes the preseason schedule at home against Jacksonville on Saturday. The Dolphins open the regular season at Indianapolis on Sept. 7. --Field Level Media

Jake Paul's shock next opponent revealed as world champion Gervonta Davis
Jake Paul 's next fight will be an exhibition against world lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, in a major surprise. YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul had been in talks over an ambitious super-fight with former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, but he will instead face fellow American 'Tank' Davis on Friday 14 November. The bout is set to take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia with the exhibition element likely counteracting the vast weight disparity between Paul, 28, and Davis, 30. The unbeaten Davis is the reigning WBA lightweight champion, generally fighting inside a limit of 135lb, though for his last fight – a controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr in March – he tipped the scales at 133.8lb. Meanwhile, Paul's last bout was a decision win over former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr at cruiserweight in June, with Paul weighing in at 199.4lb. However, Paul has also boxed at heavyweight before. The disparity between Paul and Davis's respective last weights is 65.6lb, while the influencer stands at 6ft 1in compared to Davis's 5ft 5in. Paul's talks over a fight with Joshua, 35, reportedly collapsed over network-related issues. Joshua generally fights on DAZN, while Paul has boxed on both DAZN and Netflix in recent months. His bout with Chavez Jr streamed on DAZN, while his previous outing – a highly controversial fight with heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, 59, whom Paul outpointed – streamed on Netflix. Paul vs Davis is due to air on Netflix, too. A larger-than-usual glove size may well be used for Paul vs Davis, the latter of whom is widely regarded as one of boxing's hardest punchers, with his 30-0 professional record including 28 knockouts. Paul took to social media to announce the fight, posting in X: 'Gervonta who has been disrespecting my name for too long. HIs nickname might be Tank, but I'm an FPV drone and I'm about to disable tiny boy. 'Yes, he's 1 of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath.' Davis had been in talks over a rematch with Roach Jr but will instead face Paul, whose pro record stands at 12-1 (7 KOs). Paul's sole loss came at the hands of Tommy Fury – half-brother of heavyweight star Tyson Fury – in 2023. He holds wins over numerous high-profile mixed martial artists and lesser-known boxers. Meanwhile, Davis's standout win was a 2022 stoppage of Ryan Garcia, and he has also beaten the likes of Rolly Romero, Mario Barrios, Isaac Cruz and Leo Santa Cruz.
