Seahawks LT Charles Cross (finger) has surgery, eyes Week 1 return
Cross underwent a procedure Wednesday to repair a dislocated finger on his right hand after initially trying to play through the injury with a splint, per ESPN.
The expectation is that Cross, 24, will be ready for the Sept. 7 season opener against the visiting San Francisco 49ers.
A first-round pick (ninth overall) by Seattle in 2022, Cross started all 17 games last season and all 48 of his games through his first three NFL seasons.
In April, the Seahawks exercised the fifth-year option on Cross that will pay him a guaranteed $17.56 million for the 2026 campaign. He carries a $6.8 million cap hit in 2025.

Jude Bellingham shows off huge scar after shoulder surgery as Real Madrid star recovers ahead of new season
JUDE BELLINGHAM showed off a huge scar after undergoing shoulder surgery. The Real Madrid and England midfielder went under the knife at a London hospital three weeks ago. 3 3 And in a new photo that has surfaced on social media, Bellingham is now sporting a huge scar down his left shoulder. The 22-year-old shared a snap of himself in a hospital bed with a sling on after the surgery. He thanked doctors in his Instagram post, writing: "Thank you to Andrew Wallace and Susan Alexander, their team and everyone at Fortius Clinic for the surgery and hospitality. "To Ivan Ortega and Dr Leyes for travelling to support. "And finally, to everyone else for all the well wishes and messages of love. "The process to come back has already started, see you soon." Bellingham chose to undergo surgery after soldiering on through pain since 2023. He delayed going into hospital and managed the discomfort by wearing a brace during matches. It has been reported that Bellingham will miss around 10-12 weeks of action, meaning he will not return to the pitch until October. Aside from missing the start of the domestic season with Real Madrid, he will also be unavailable for England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia in September. 3

Kyle Stowers' blast leads Marlins to unprecedented Yankees sweep
August 3 - All-Star outfielder Kyle Stowers launched a three-run homer as the host Miami Marlins claimed a 7-3 win on Sunday afternoon to sweep the New York Yankees for the first time. Stowers, whose fourth-inning blast pushed the Marlins' lead to 6-1, finished with two homers and eight RBIs in the three-game series. Miami won 13-12 on Friday and 2-0 on Saturday. Edward Cabrera (5-5) pitched six strong innings on Sunday as the Marlins (55-55) climbed to the .500 mark for the first time since being 8-8 on April 15. Cabrera allowed just two hits, one walk and one run while striking out seven. The Marlins are 30-14 since June 13. They have lost just one of their past 12 series, going 10-1-1. New York, which had won three straight games before coming to Miami, was led by former Marlins star Jazz Chisholm Jr., who slugged a two-run homer. The Yankees also got a homer from Trent Grisham, who hit a leadoff shot on the fifth pitch of the game. However, Luis Gil (0-1) couldn't hold the lead as he made his 2025 debut following an injury in March. Gil lasted 3 1/3 innings, allowing five hits, four walks and five runs. Gil walked two consecutive batters in the second inning before rookie Troy Johnston picked up his first major league RBI with a double. Xavier Edwards added an RBI single and Stowers completed the three-run rally with a sacrifice fly. In the fourth, Gil walked Graham Pauley and gave up a single to Edwards to encourage Yankees manager Aaron Boone to bring in reliever Brent Headrick. Three pitches later, it was 6-1 on Stowers' 25th homer of the season. In the seventh, Marlins manager Clayton McCullough brought in lefty reliever Josh Simpson. Giancarlo Stanton dribbled an infield single before lefty-swinging Chisholm slugged his two-run homer to cut New York's deficit to 6-3. Miami escaped further trouble in the seventh after Anthony Volpe's two-out triple as Simpson got Austin Wells on a flyout. In the bottom of the seventh, Otto Lopez walked and scored on rookie Jakob Marsee's 397-foot triple off the glove of Grisham, who had raced back to the warning track in straightaway center. The Marlins struck out 14 Yankees batters, including Lake Bachar's whiff of Volope for the final out of the game. --Field Level Media

Chargers star reveals troubling reason why he won't leave his Brazil hotel before Kansas City Chiefs game
Los Angeles Chargers star Tony Jefferson has revealed will not be leaving the team's hotel while staying in Brazil due to it not being safe for the opening-week NFL game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The NFL is returning to Brazil next month for the second year in a row, after last year's Week 1 clash, where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers in Sao Paulo at the Corinthians Arena. Jefferson has again raised concerns about player safety while visiting the country primarily to play a football game. 'Isn't like Brazil dangerous? I'm not leaving the hotel,' Jefferson said. 'I'm finna pack my PS5, my Samsung.' It is the second straight year where a player from a team playing in the South American showdown has publicly voiced his displeasure for the NFL bringing an important game to Sao Paulo. Last season, it was the Eagles duo of Darius Slay and AJ Brown. 'I do not want to go to Brazil. You want to know why? I'm going to tell you why,' Slay said, via PHL Eagles Nation. 'They already told us not to leave the hotel. They told us we can't do too much going on, because the crime rate is crazy. Wild: Chargers DB Tony Jefferson says he will NOT leave the hotel in Brazil when they play the Chiefs week 1. Jefferson is a wise man concerned for his safety. — Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) August 3, 2025 'I'm like 'NFL, why would you want to send us somewhere with a crime rate this high?'' Slay added that he's so uncomfortable with the situation that he's telling his family to not bother making the trip. 'I told my family do not come down there because I'm not going to be nowhere to be found,' Slay said. Slay says he plans to spend the entire trip in his hotel, which is a similar sentiment to that of wide receiver A.J. Brown. In an interview back in August, the Eagles receiver also indicated that he'd be getting used to his hotel during the trip. 'We had a meeting yesterday with a whole bunch of ''Don't Do's,' said Brown. 'I'm just trying to go down there, win a football game & come back here. […] He continued, 'We're not down there to see the city, this is not a vacation, this is a football game. […] Simple as just walking down the street with your phone in your hand... kinda crazy.' 'After hearing all that stuff I'm probably gonna be in my room,' he added. The NFL did not report any wrongdoing around NFL players from last year's game in Sao Paulo.
