San Francisco running back Ameer Abdullah placed on injury reserve

USA Todaya day ago
Former Husker Ameer Abdullah hit a bump in the road following his first preseason game of 2025. The San Francisco 49ers placed the veteran running back on injured reserve on Monday.
Abdullah suffered a rib injury in the team's loss to the Denver Broncos on Saturday, where he took the field on offense and kickoff return. He finished with four carries for 20 yards and returned one kickoff for 22 yards. However, he fumbled in the third quarter, which also resulted in his injury.
Abdullah joined the 49ers in late July, but will now be forced to miss the 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.
The 2015 second-round pick played in 141 career games, earning 26 starts with the Detroit Lions, before joining the Minnesota Vikings, the Carolina Panthers, and the Las Vegas Raiders.
In his career, he's tallied 1,994 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. He also hauled in 1,468 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Social media reactions from fans, media following UM 'sign stealing' scandal punishment

Did the time fit the crime? If you check social media today, you'll see many don't think so. Michigan football received its official punishment from the NCAA for its sign-stealing scandal that has been a major story for the last few years. Former Wolverines staffer Connor Stalions led the scheme that the NCAA officially stated on Friday gave Michigan an advantage on the field. The punishment is being perceived by many on social media as a "slap on the wrist" but ultimately seemed like where this story would end up. Officially, Michigan will face four years of probation and over $20-million in fines. Additionally, head coach Sherrone Moore with be suspended a total of three games, of which he was already planning to miss two games through Michigan's self-imposed penalty. Former Wolverines staffers Jim Harbaugh and Stalions received notable show cause penalties as part of the punishment. The full breakdown of the punishment can be seen in a post from Tony Garcia of The Detroit Free Press below: So as expected, there were plenty of reactions on social media from the output of this investigation and punishment.

Notre Dame football offers 2029 California jumbo athlete prospect his first scholarship

While we have seen Notre Dame football look ahead in its recruiting efforts, and they often don't look too far ahead, they did on Friday. The Irish offered 2029 California jumbo athlete Inokefotu Fakatou, making it his first Division 1 scholarship. Already standing 6-foot, 3-inches and weighing 215-pounds, Notre Dame is trying to get significantly ahead of the curve in his recruitment. Fakatou's class has yet to even begin his high school career, but clearly showed enough for Notre Dame to pull the trigger on a scholarship offer. It will be very interesting to see his recruitment play out, as there most likely will be at least few years until he makes a decision. He will play his first snaps at the high school level for Orange Lutheran, who is set to begin its season on Aug. 23rd. Fatakou's team will play a very tough schedule, as they are set to face off against powerhouses like Mater Dei, St. John Bosco, and Sierra Canyon. If he's able to make some noise as a freshman against those teams, Notre Dame's recruiting staff will look like geniuses with the early offer.

Florida legend Tim Tebow included on AP's 100th anniversary all-time All-America Team

The Associated Press recently announced its All-Time All-America teams amidst the organization's 100th anniversary, bestowing one of the most prestigious honors in college football among a very select few. It should come as no surprise that Florida Gators legend Tim Tebow made the cut, but even the Orange and Blue faithful might be mildly surprised by which roster he landed in. According to the AP's latest lineup, the storied collegiate quarterback earned the First-Team spot under center, joining a star-studded group of historic greats. "Florida's Tim Tebow edged Texas' Vince Young (2005) for all-time first-team quarterback. Tebow won the Heisman and made the AP All-America team as a sophomore in 2007, his first year as the starter," AP writer Eric Olson offers. "He led the Gators to their second national championship in three years in 2008 and narrowly missed a chance at another when the 2009 team started 13-0 but lost to Alabama in the SEC championship game. He remains the SEC career leader in rushing touchdowns and touchdowns responsible for." First team by conference *Based on players' school affiliations at the time they were in college About the AP All-Time All-America team "Of the 25 players on the first team, five won the Heisman Trophy and 21 are in the College Football Hall of Fame, two are nominated for induction in 2026 and two are not eligible because they are not yet 10 years removed from their college careers," the article states. "A panel of 12 AP sports writers who cover college football selected the all-time team. It won't be, and shouldn't be, considered definitive. There have been far more great players over the last century than spots available. "For a player to qualify, he must have been an AP first-team All-American at least once. His professional career, if any, was not to be considered. Also, a member of the all-time team could only be listed on the side of the ball where he was named first-team All-America. All-purpose players could come from any position. "Voters were cautioned against recency bias, but it is notable that only three of the first-team selections played before 1970. Of the 12 players who were three-time All-Americans, only four made the two all-time teams picked by AP."
