Breaking down the 10 Detroit Lions rookie performances vs. Dolphins
As the preseason rolls onward, the Detroit Lions are going to use every chance that they can get to evaluate the backend of their roster. Once again, the team's 2025 rookie class impressed. A total of 10 first-year players suited up in the preseason matchup against the Miami Dolphins, and many of them made quite the case for a roster spot once the regular season begins. Undrafted wide receiver Jackson Meeks put on a show for the second week in a row. The rookie who played for Georgia and Syracuse made the first reception of the game and went on to finish the day with a team-high 93 yards as well as a touchdown. He was used heavily on special teams as well, taking the field for nearly half of the unit's snaps. He did make one rookie mistake, getting flagged for an illegal shift later in the game. Third-round pick Isaac TeSlaa also had himself a day. The Michigan native was another big contributor on offense, hauling in four receptions for 41 yards and a trip to the endzone. He had some opportunities that were missed as well, including dropping an overthrown pass from Kyle Allen and having a first-down reception called back due to an illegal forward pass penalty. Dominic Lovett wasn't as productive on offense as he was in the previous preseason outings. His biggest contribution in this game came on special teams as a gunner. In the third quarter, he scooped up the ball off of a muffed punt by the Dolphins and returned it within a few yards of the endzone—although you aren't allowed to advance a muffed punt. Zach Horton got a significant amount of time on offense, taking the field for over 70% of the team's snaps. He displayed even more versatility than he has in the other preseason games, being used as an in-line tight end, fullback, slot receiver, and even lining out wide on a few plays. He caught his first two passes of his career, totaling 15 yards. He, too, couldn't escape the eyes of the referees, and was called for a holding penalty that negated a big run from Craig Reynolds. With many new faces in Detroit's secondary, undrafted cornerback Tyson Russell didn't make much of an impact as he had the week prior, but still recorded three tackles. Offensive lineman Mason Miller made the move from tackle to guard in this game, most likely due to the plethora of injuries that Detroit has in that position group right now. He played much better than he had earlier in the preseason, and even earned a shoutout from the broadcast crew for his blocking on long run from Jacob Saylors. Undrafted rookies Ian Kennelly and Keith Cooper both were named starters for this game and played on defense for a majority of Detroit's snaps. Cooper flashed some positional versatility, playing both as an interior defensive lineman and edge rusher. Wide receiver Jakobie Keeney-James had a quiet day, being targeted once but not recording any stats. Fan-favorite Ahmed Hassanein only played 10 snaps for Detroit before sustaining an injury that will cause him to miss some time this season. The following draft picks did not play: Tyleik Williams, Tate Ratledge, Miles Frazier (PUP), Dan Jackson (IR)

Notre Dame social media reacts to CJ Carr being named the starting quarterback
On Tuesday, Notre Dame football announced who will start the season opening game against Miami, redshirt-freshman CJ Carr. The Michigan native beat out Kenny Minchey for the role, as the two battle through the spring until head coach Marcus Freeman had made a decision. He did say on Sunday that he would take into consideration who offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock and quarterback coach Gino Guidugli thought best fit the offense. At the end of the day Carr was the choice, and while many didn't see it coming due to reports that Minchey looked better during camp, the Irish went with the younger option. There was no doubt that social media was going to react to the news, and here are some of the best comments shared by insiders and fans. A bit surprising The competition was fierce, and while it didn't seem like Carr would be the choice at times, he eventually was. It's a bit premature to suggest that Minchey would leave, especially since anything could happen during the season. Talia Baia has been all over training camp, so she would know it was a bit surprising. JaDon Blair's father gives Minchey helpful advice It's a family in South Bend, and that extends to the players families as well. Blair surely knows Minchey put his all into trying to win the starting job, and the elder Blair gives him some great advice. There's no need to get down on yourself, just get ready for the next opportunity. Not a Michigan man As The Athletic's Vannini points out, Carr is a Michigan legacy who didn't follow his grandfather to Ann Arbor. He would have had a shot to start there was well, since it looks like they'll be turning the offense to a true freshman. The Wolverines loss was clearly Notre Dame's gain, which stokes the rivalry fire a bit more. Is this the appropriate meme? I'm a big fan of Pickell, but I'm not sure this is such a crazy decision. Both quarterback had pro's and con's, but going with Carr's immense upside makes plenty of sense. There's schedule is manageable, and there's plenty of time for him to get acclimated to this level. However, if Pickell is saying this could be fun, then let's go. Great work on the graphic The graphic of the day, besides the actually announcement of course. The little details are fantastic, from the 'Freeman Film' to the 'manufacturers of Joe Montana and Brady Quinn'. You win the day Rational ND Fan. Upside in Carr It very much seemed like Freeman didn't want to play it safe, and went with upside in Carr. While Minchey still has all the traits you are looking for in a quarterback, in my eyes, the new starter has a certain flare about his game that elevates the players around him. That's something you just can't teach. And throws like that. Minchey had a legit shot While many thought that it was Carr's job to lose, Minchey sure didn't let that get in his way of impressive many people during the competition. I also believe that the coaching staff gave him a legit chance at winning the job, and he almost did it. Thank you coach Freeman Finishing with this great post, The 4 Horsemen Podcast shared a great post on the quarterback outlook. There was only going to be one starter, the other disappointed, who needs to continue to stay ready. The fact that Notre Dame was in this situation is a far cry from the Brian Kelly era, and Freeman deserves a ton of credit for reshaping the Irish roster.

The Sports Report: Matthew Stafford's back seems to be improving
From Gary Klein: Matthew Stafford's second day of practice lacked the anticipation and drama of the first. But Tuesday's performance was a milestone nonetheless for the star quarterback and a Rams team with designs on a Super Bowl title. The biggest takeaway: Stafford's injured back responded positively to Monday's one-hour workout, enabling the 17th-year pro to play with even more confidence as the Rams prepare for their Sept. 7 opener against the Houston Texans. 'The reality is we're trying to get our hands on this and get him to feel as good as possible,' coach Sean McVay said. 'Backs can be a volatile thing. This is definitely positive progress. … It certainly is trending in a positive direction for us.' Continue reading here From Kevin Baxter: Mookie Betts was the first Dodgers position player out on the field Tuesday, walking to a spot near the third-base foul line and kneeling on a mat before a coach, who began hitting soft ground balls to his right and left. It's a drill Betts does regularly to improve his defense. Betts' defense, however, really isn't a problem for the Dodgers. A six-time Gold Glove winner in right field, Betts moved to shortstop full-time this season, turning his old position over to Teoscar Hernández. And his defense has been a problem. But Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he isn't planning any changes to his lineup for the time being. 'Are we playing our best defensive lineup? No,' Roberts said. 'But I would say there's very few teams in the big leagues playing their best defensive lineup every night. Even in a postseason race, you've still got to score.' The Dodgers are definitely in a postseason race and Hernández absolutely helps them score, ranking second on the team in home runs (20) and RBIs (75) after going two for five with a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 11-4 rout of the Colorado Rockies. He also made two nice running catches. But then the Dodgers didn't need much defense Tuesday, pounding out 18 hits with every player in the lineup reaching base as least once. Newcomer Alex Call led the way with a career-high four hits, including a home run and a double, scoring three runs and driving in two others while falling a triple shy of the cycle. Continue reading here Dave Roberts says Dodgers haven't discussed moving Mookie Betts to right field Shaikin: Can L.A. decide on the Dodger Stadium gondola, or anything, in a timely manner? Dodgers box score MLB scores MLB standings Hunter Greene had 12 strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings, Noelvi Marte homered, doubled and drove in two runs, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Angels 6-4 on Tuesday night. Jose Trevino scored on a sacrifice fly by TJ Friedl and Gavin Lux followed with an RBI double off Kenley Jansen (5-3) in the ninth inning to give Cincinnati a 6-4 lead. Miguel Andujar was three for four with a double and two RBIs. Greene gave up three runs and six hits and walked none. Luis Mey (2-0) pitched the eighth inning and gave up Jo Adell's second solo homer of the game but got the win. Continue reading here Angels box score MLB scores MLB standings From Kevin Baxter: Alan Shearer was in his prime and in the starting lineup for Blackburn when the English Premier League kicked off its first season 33 summers ago. Shearer scored two goals that day in a 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace. But he had no idea that season would give birth to the most dominant force in the history of club soccer — and perhaps the most dominant force in the history of international sports. 'There's no way anyone could have predicted back in 1992 that it was going to be this incredible, huge, gigantic force that it's become,' said Shearer, who would go on to become the leading scorer in EPL history, of the Premier League. 'It is sort of chalk and cheese in terms of where it was then to where it is now.' That's an English way of saying the league, which kicked off a new season Friday, has progressed.
