Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on the training camp competition for starting left tackle
'You're going to look for the best guy, to start with, that can fill that spot, and that we can have a little consistency there. We didn't have that last year,' said Reid, 'So let's work at it and see what we come up with. We've got some good candidates for it, and we'll just see where it goes.'
The Chiefs are ideally holding a competition at left tackle between Simmons, Jaylon Moore, and potentially Wanya Morris. Reid generously praised the first-round pick out of Ohio State for his work ethic during rehab.
'He stayed up here this whole break, he's been here, working his tail off,' said Reid, 'But it looks like he's ready to go, and we'll keep an eye on him and see where he's at. But his condition was good when he was out there, and he seems to be a worker, so we'll just have to see. He's never been through one of these, so we gotta see how it goes.'
Simmons earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors for the 2024 National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes.

Ravens waived an undrafted rookie offensive tackle
To make room for newly signed RB D'Ernest Johnson, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports the Ravens waived reserve OT Ozzie Hutchinson, who was an undrafted rookie out of Albany To make room for newly signed RB D'Ernest Johnson, Ravens waived reserve OT Ozzie Hutchinson, who was an undrafted rookie from Albany The Ravens have made nearly a dozen roster moves over the past four days and just parted ways with another undrafted free agent. Baltimore signed former Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson on Saturday, and to make room on the roster, the Ravens waived undrafted rookie free agent offensive lineman Ozzie Hutchinson. Hutchinson (6-4, 305) signed with Baltimore following the 2025 NFL draft after he appeared in 41 games during his stint at Albany (2019-23), earning second-team All-CAA honors in his final season. Before the Hutchinson move, Baltimore announced five roster moves on Saturday, with the shocker being the release of undrafted rookie kicker John Hoyland. In all, the Ravens signed Brent Urban, Scotty Washington, and Baylor Cupp, while releasing Hoyland, tight end Sam Pitz, and linebacker Diwun Black.

Valkyries' five-game trek ends with a thud in blowout loss to Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS – Back to a .500 winning percentage the Golden State Valkyries go. The shorthanded expansion outfit capped the longest trip of its inaugural season Sunday afternoon with a 101-77 loss to the Las Vegas Aces at Michelob Ultra Arena. Already down All-Star forward Kayla Thornton, forward Cecilia Zandalasini and guard Monique Billings, Golden State played without guard Tiffany Hayes, scratched pregame with a left leg injury. Starting forward Janelle Salaün was also ejected with 3.3 seconds left in the first half after running through Aces guard Jewell Loyd in transition and garnering a flagrant 2 foul upon review. Iliana Rupert scored a team-high 17 for the Valkyries, who shot 34.2% – succumbing to fatigue compounded by the active, cohesive defense of Las Vegas. Golden State caps its five-game trip – that started last Sunday against the Connecticut Sun – with losses bookending three straight wins. Jewell Loyd made seven 3-pointers and scored 27 for Las Vegas, which overtook Golden State for seventh place in the WNBA. Aces star forward A'ja Wilson, the league's reigning MVP, added 14 points, 14 rebounds and four steals while standout wing Jackie Young provided 20 points and a team-high eight assists. The Valkyries improved Friday to 14-13 – they last had more wins than losses July 9-11 – by beating the Chicago Sky following wins over the Washington Mystics and Atlanta Dream. Their bid for a fourth consecutive win Sunday started with a 4-3 lead, but Las Vegas (15-14) intensified its defense and ignited its transition offense. Demolished Saturday by 53 points against the reigning runner-up Minnesota Lynx – the biggest margin of defeat in the WNBA since 1998 – Las Vegas cohesively coaxed Golden State into four first-quarter turnovers. Wilson both protected the rim and pestered the perimeter in ball screen actions, securing two first-quarter steals and setting the tempo the Aces maintained. A 27-14 end-of-the-first-quarter deficit mushroomed to 50-25 by halftime as the Valkyries missed 15 of 17 triples, shooting 26.5% from the field. Such a deficit was too much to overcome despite the usual inspired effort and 14 points apiece from Carla Leite and Laeticia Amihere. Golden State starts a three-game homestand Wednesday, also against Las Vegas.

MLB-Best Brewers Make Disappointing Announcement on 6-Foot-7 Rookie All-Star
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Milwaukee Brewers have been perhaps the most unlikely story of the MLB season. In preseason predictions, the Brew Crew were generally seen as a middle-of-the-pack team at best. projected their final record at 80-82. Yahoo! Sports saw Milwaukee at 81-81, while over at CBS Sports, five of their six experts saw the Brewers finishing second in the National League Central, and the fifth had them third. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 30: (NEW YORK DAILIES OUT) Manager Pat Murphy #21 of the Milwaukee Brewers looks on before a game against the New York Mets at Citi Field on March 30,... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 30: (NEW YORK DAILIES OUT) Manager Pat Murphy #21 of the Milwaukee Brewers looks on before a game against the New York Mets at Citi Field on March 30, 2024 in New York City. The Brewers defeated the Mets 7-6. MoreYet here they were Sunday with just 52 games left to play in the season and the Brewers hold the best record in baseball with 66 wins against 44 losses. Heading into Sunday's MLB slate, no team had won more, or lost fewer. If the Brewers are the most compelling story of the season, the best story on the Brewers has been the sudden, sensational rise of 6-foot-7, 190-pound righty pitcher Jacob Misiorowski. Making his debut on June 12, he announced his presence by firing three straight pitches at 100 mph or above to start his big league career. As of Sunday, Misorowski had thrown his four-seam fastball 301 times — with an average velocity of 99.3 mph, according to Statcast. That's faster than any other starting pitcher this season. More MLB: Dodgers 3,000 Strikeout Ace Forced to Eat Words After Dissing Rookie Phenom Unfortunately for Milwaukee, just hours before Misiorowski's scheduled start Sunday against the Washington Nationals, the Brewers were forced to make a disappointing announcement. The team placed the 23-year-old rookie — who was named to the NL All-Star team after making only five MLB starts, fewest ever for an All-Star — on the 15-day injured list. The stated reason was a "left tibia contusion," and the 15-day stint was made retroactive to Thursday. Here is the line drive that hit Jacob Misiorowski on Monday night against the Cubs. Today, the Brewers placed him on the IL with a left tibia contusion. — Hunter Baumgardt (@hunterbonair) August 3, 2025 "The Miz," as he has become known to Brewers fans, suffered the contusion when he was hit on the left leg by a line drive off the bat of Chicago Cubs slugger Seiya Suzuki during his Monday start in Milwaukee. "That the right-hander's injury doesn't involve his arm is surely heartening news for fans in Milwaukee, but it's nonetheless worrisome for such a key piece of the club's recent surge to miss any time at all while the team is locked in a heated division race with the Cubs," wrote Nick Deeds of MLB Trade Rumors, reporting on the Brewers' decision.

To take the start against Washington, the Brewers will turn to another top prospect, Logan Henderson, who was recalled from the Triple-A Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee's No. 5 prospect, Henderson has made four starts at the big league level already this season, winning three with no losses and a 1.71 ERA in 21 innings pitched. Before hitting the injured list, Misiorowski made seven starts compiling a 4-1 record and 2.71 ERA, with 47 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings.
