Arizona Cardinals starters to play in preseason opener vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Arizona Cardinals were back on the practice field Tuesday for three days of work before Saturday's preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, and head coach Jonathan Gannon told his team Monday night that the starters will play, including quarterback Kyler Murray.
As for why he's doing things differently than last year, Gannon said, 'I think it's the best thing for our team this year. We're at a good point with our health. We're at a good point with our development this year with our team. That's the best thing to do for our guys.'
Gannon said the fact the Chiefs often play their starters more than other teams did not influence his decision.
'Not too concerned (about that),' he said. 'I'm more concerned with us for preseason 1.'
There is a plan for the snaps the starters will get, but Gannon said, 'That won't get etched into stone until these next three days (of practice) happen. Just because you don't know what's gonna happen these three days. (The) health of your team goes into that too, but I've got a plan in mind. That can change too mid-game, honestly, but I feel good about it.'
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who missed a few days of work because of knee soreness and an illness returned to practice Tuesday and is also expected to play Saturday.
Aside from the players still on active/physically unable to perform (defensive linemen Bilal Nichols and Walter Nolen III along with outside linebacker BJ Ojulari), also not practicing Tuesday are wide receivers Michael Wilson (concussion) and Simi Fehoko (quad), center/guard Jon Gaines II I (thumb), defensive lineman Justin Jones (knee) and linebacker J.J. Russell (concussion).

Ohtani takes the mound in series finale against Cardinals
Ohtani takes the mound in series finale against Cardinals originally appeared on The Sporting News The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to end their six-game California road trip on a high note this afternoon with a series win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Just one problem—they'll have to get past two-way star Shohei Ohtani, who takes the mound for his eighth start this season, per CBS Sports. However, Ohtani's last appearance on July 30 didn't go according to plan as he slowly transitions back into a full-time starter after undergoing Tommy John revision surgery in 2023. Slated to pitch four innings at Cincinnati, Ohtani left after 3.0 IP and 51 pitches, allowing 2 ER on 5 hits and 2 walks with 4 strikeouts. He was later diagnosed with a cramp in his hip. The Cardinals have seen Ohtani once before, scoring 4 ER on him in 5.0 innings in 2023 when he was still with the Los Angeles Angels. But Ohtani still has a 2.99 ERA over six MLB seasons, and in seven starts this year, he's recorded a 2.40 ERA (4 ER in 15.0 IP). St. Louis split the first 2 games of this series, including a 3-2 win on Monday and a 12-6 loss last night. Scheduled to oppose Ohtani is left-hander Matthew Liberatore, who is 3-3 with a 3.53 ERA (14 ER in 35.2 IP) over his last 7 starts. At 1 game below .500, the Cardinals (57-58) are fighting for an NL Wild Card spot and sit 6.5 games behind the New York Mets and San Diego Padres in the playoff race. A win over Ohtani and the Dodgers today would mark their first series victory since July 8-10 vs. the Washington Nationals (2-1).

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy earns top speed rating for latest release of EA Sports' Madden NFL
Speed is the ultimate x-factor in the NFL, and the experts at EA Sports have determined that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will be the fastest player in their upcoming release of the beloved Madden NFL franchise. Worthy, who was Kansas City's first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, showed off his blazing speed at the combine last year, setting the 40-yard dash record at 4.21 seconds. In Madden, players are assigned ratings for a range of attributes that correspond to their real-life skill sets. This season, Worthy is expected to take his game to the next level, and the ratings experts at EA Sports gave him a 99 speed rating, which will be the highest mark in Madden 26 upon the game's release. While Worthy's overall grade isn't expected to be the highest, his utility as a deep threat will make him a hot commodity for Madden players who wish to take the tops off of opposing defenses.
