Kansas QB Jalon Daniels' minor knee surgery will limit him in spring practice
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels recently underwent knee surgery and will be limited in spring practice, the school said Thursday.
Daniels has started 33 games for the Jayhawks and will be returning for his sixth season. The school said Daniels' surgery was minor.
The native of Lawndale, California, has been plagued by injuries. He missed four games with a shoulder injury in 2022 and 10 games with a back injury in 2023.
Daniels started all 12 games last season and struggled before he led the Jayhawks (5-7, 4-5 Big 12) to consecutive wins over ranked opponents Iowa State, BYU and Colorado. He completed 57% of his passes for 204.5 yards per game and 14 touchdowns. His 12 interceptions tied for most in the Big 12.

Giancarlo Stanton is back in the Yankees' lineup while Aaron Judge's status remains unchanged
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton will return to the New York Yankees' lineup Tuesday night after missing three games with what the team described as general soreness, manager Aaron Boone told radio station WFAN. Stanton will play right field in one of the two games against the Tampa Bay Rays, but Aaron Judge is not expected to appear in the outfield in either. There is no set timetable for Judge's return to the field. He was scheduled to test his right elbow with long toss on Tuesday. 'I don't know yet,' Boone said. 'What I've said is I'm waiting on the trainers to say, 'thumbs up.' He's expected to long toss again today, so I don't expect it here in Tampa. Could it be Boston? Maybe. I just don't know yet.' Boone added that Judge may not regain full throwing strength this season. 'I don't think we're going to see him throwing like he normally does at any point this year, but that's OK,' Boone said. 'We've got to feel like he can go out there and protect himself.' The Yankees are coming off a three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals and hold a three-game lead for the final American League wild-card spot. Offensively, they will be satisfied if Judge can simply remain productive at the plate. Since being activated from the injured list on Aug. 5, Judge has been limited to designated hitter duties. He entered the week batting .333 with 39 home runs, 91 RBIs and a 1.134 OPS, all among the league leaders. His home run Sunday was his first extra-base hit since returning. Judge's inability to play the field has reduced the team's flexibility. Stanton is batting .299 with 12 home runs, 34 RBIs and a .953 OPS this season, but his long injury history makes any outfield assignment a risk. He did not debut until mid-June because of tendinitis in both elbows. After playing three straight games in the outfield last week, he missed three consecutive games with soreness. He has declined to specify where the discomfort occurred. ___

The new US Open mixed doubles tournament begins with the defending champions showing how it's done
NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. Open overhauled its mixed doubles tournament in hopes of drawing the top singles players. The defending champions don't intend to move out of the way so easily. Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori earned the first win in the tournament on Tuesday, beating the No. 2-seeded team of Taylor Fritz and Elena Rybakina 4-2, 4-2. Traditional doubles specialists like the Italian combo were among the biggest critics of the changes, with a format that feels more like an exhibition than one worthy of a Grand Slam trophy. The prize of $1 million to the winning team would be a huge boost to doubles players, but Errani and Vavassori are the only traditional doubles team in the event. 'We also are playing for all the doubles players who could not compete here, so we tried to do out best,' Vavassori said. Fritz, last year's U.S. Open runner-up in men's singles, and Rybakina, a past Wimbledon women's singles champion, are exactly the types of players the U.S. Tennis Association was seeking when it revamped the tournament. Now a 16-team event played over two days, the mixed doubles starts well before the singles tournaments begin on Sunday, with organizers believing singles stars would be more interested in playing if it didn't interfere with their rest and recovery during that event. Errani and Vavassori didn't even know originally if they would get a chance to defend their title in the new format, which gives eight teams automatic spots based on the players' combined singles rankings. The other spots are wild cards awarded by the USTA. The Italians were given one of them and they showed off their skills in a victory that took just 42 minutes. The shortened format allows the matches to speed by, knowing winning teams would have to play twice on the first day to reach the semifinals and finals on Wednesday night. The highlight match for the first-round schedule was to come later Tuesday afternoon, when Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu took on the top-seeded team of Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper. ___

2025 College Football Odds: Bettors Backing Both Sides of Colorado's Win Total
College Football 2025 College Football Odds: Bettors Backing Both Sides of Colorado's Win Total Published Aug. 19, 2025 12:31 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Colorado Under 5.5 "is still a play." That's according to FOX Sports betting analyst Geoff Schwartz, who — full disclosure — wagered on Buffaloes Under 6.5 before the line changed. But bettors at BetMGM beg to differ — kinda. At the sportsbook, Colorado is the most-bet team in tickets to eclipse its regular-season win total. The Buffaloes are the third-most-bet ticket in handle to go Over that total. However, the Buffaloes are also the most-bet team to go Under the win total in both tickets and handle. How bettors are wagering on the Buffs could be attributed to the line shifting to 5.5 from 6.5 amid speculation about Deion Sanders' future as head coach. Sanders, as we now know, is staying put. With that, bettors, as John Ewing highlights, are playing both sides of the ball when it comes to Colorado's win total. Let's take a glance at some of Colorado's other odds at BetMGM as of Aug. 19 now that we're a little more than one week away from kick-off. To win the National Championship +25000 (bet $10 to win $2,510 total) To win the Big 12 title +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total) To make the College Football Playoff +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total) Colorado regular-season wins Over 5.5: -140 (bet $10 to win $17.14 total) Under 5.5: +115 (bet $10 to win $21.50 total) How will Colorado fare in 2025, especially considering the team will be without the play-making abilities of Shedeur Sanders and without two-way talent Travis Hunter? "I don't see them taking a huge step back," FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt told Colin Cowherd. "They've recruited at a very high level. Deion has done a really great job of trying to reload." Joel Klatt on what he expects to see from Deion Sanders' Colorado team this season ADVERTISEMENT As noted above, Geoff Schwartz has a different perspective and is wagering on the Buffs' regression. "It seems untenable for Deion & Co. to have the same success this season that they had in 2024," Schwartz wrote. "This is a new offense that can't be bailed out by Sanders or Hunter. It's stagnant. There's no motion. "The defense improved greatly last season, but this year, that unit will rely on its returning defensive-line depth, mixed with all new linebackers. "The team just isn't as talented this season. I think Under 5.5 is still a play if you missed out on the 6.5." Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
