4 WRs the 49ers could sign to help after Demarcus Robinson suspension
The San Francisco 49ers continue to take hit after hit to their depth in training camp, but instead of another injury, this loss is on the player, as wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has been suspended three games by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy, stemming from his DUI back in January. This leaves San Francisco's wide receiver room in rough shape with Brandon Aiyuk rehabbing a torn ACL, Jauan Jennings dealing with a calf injury/contract dispute, Jordan Watkins suffering a high ankle sprain and Jacob Cowing battling a hamstring injury. The only healthy wideouts on the 49ers roster right now are Ricky Pearsall, Russell Gage, Robbie Chosen, Junior Burgen, Isaiah Hodgins, Malik Turner and Malik Knowles. While that list doesn't exactly strike fear in opposing defensive coordinators and cornerbacks, there are a few free agents that general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan could consider signing before Week 1. Let's take a look at the best options. Amari Cooper Cooper, 31, was a first-round pick of the Las Vegas (then Oakland) Raiders in the 2015 NFL draft after an impressive collegiate career at Alabama that included an All-American final season. In his 10 professional seasons, he's caught 711 passes for 10,033 yards and 64 touchdowns, making five Pro Bowls in the process. However, he had just 44 receptions for 547 yards and four scores in 2024 with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills. Tyler Boyd Boyd, 30, was a second-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2016 NFL draft after three years at Pittsburgh, where he earned All-ACC honors every year. In nine seasons, he's caught 552 passes for 6,390 yards and 31 touchdowns. However, he had one of the worst seasons of his career in 2024, recording 39 receptions for 390 yards with the Tennessee Titans. Gabe Davis Davis, 26, played collegiately at UCF from 2017-19, earning All-AAC honors twice and All-American honors once before the Buffalo Bills took him in the fourth round (No. 128 overall) of the 2020 NFL draft. He spent four seasons in Buffalo, hauling in 163 receptions for 2,730 yards and 27 touchdowns in 64 games. After landing a three-year, $39 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, he appeared in just 10 games, catching 20 passes for 239 yards and two scores before tearing his meniscus and missing the rest of the season. Jacksonville released him in May. Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham, 32, was a first-round selection of the New York Giants in the 2014 NFL draft out of LSU, where he earned All-SEC and All-American honors in 2013. In 10 professional seasons, he's recorded 575 receptions for 7,987 yards and 59 touchdowns while making two All-Pro teams and three Pro Bowls. The Super Bowl champion struggled to do anything in 2024 with the Miami Dolphins, catching just nine passes for 55 yards in nine games. Nelson Agholor Agholor, 32, entered the NFL as the Philadelphia Eagles' first-round pick (No. 20 overall) in the 2015 draft following a college career at USC that saw him earn All-Pac-12 honors twice. In his 10 seasons in the league, he's caught 389 passes for 4,858 yards and 37 touchdowns in 149 games. However, like other free agent wideouts who are still around in late August, he didn't do much in 2024, catching just 13 passes for 231 yards and two scores in 14 games for the Baltimore Ravens More 49ers: 49ers announce a quartet of roster moves on Wednesday

Chet Holmgren has NBA 2K26 rating revealed
The NBA is in its driest part of the calendar, which means NBA 2K has taken advantage of it. In anticipation of the NBA 2K26 release, the annual video game has slowly rolled out the top 100 rated players. It's a tradition that sparks conversations as fans across the league argue their guy should be higher. After winning an NBA championship, the Oklahoma City Thunder are prominently featured in the list. They have five players among the top 100. That shouldn't be a surprise. After all, they had one of the greatest seasons ever with a historic 68-14 regular-season record and a Larry O'Brien trophy. One of those top 100 players is Chet Holmgren. He has an 88 overall rating, which ranks No. 31. Other Thunder players in the top 100 are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Lu Dort and Isaiah Hartenstein. An injury-plagued regular season became a distant memory in the playoffs. Holmgren helped the Thunder capture a championship by being the third-best player on the eventual title winner. The 23-year-old averaged 15 points, eight rebounds and 2.2 blocks. Even with injuries, Holmgren has lived up to his hype. He's been one of the best defensive players since entering the league and has a unique combination of size and skill on the offensive end. The Thunder signed him to a contract extension this past summer to keep him around for the long-term future.

Today in Boston Celtics history: Jerryd Bayless, Si Green, Quinn Buckner born
Today in Boston Celtics history, guard alum Jerryd Bayless was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1988. Bayless played his NCAA basketball with the Arizona Wildcats for a single season before he entered the 2008 NBA Draft, where he was picked up with the 11th overall pick by the Indiana Pacers. The Phoenix native never suited up for the Pacers, dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers soon after the draft was over. He also played for the (then) New Orleans Hornets (now, Pelicans), Toronto Raptors, and Memphis Grizzlies before the latter ball club sent Bayless to Boston in a trade that netted the Celtics 3-and-D wing Courtney Lee. Bayless would play just one season for the Celtics, playing 41 games and starting 14 of them. He averaged 10.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists while with the Celtics, leaving in free agency next summer to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks. Other birthdays It is also the birthday of former Celtic guard Sihugo Green, born in New York City in 1933. An alum of Duquesne, Green was the No. 1 overall pick of the 1956 NBA Draft, taken by the (then) Rochester Royals (now, Sacramento Kings). The New Yorker played for the Royals after their move to Cincinnati, the St. Louis Hawks before they relocated to Atlanta, and the defunct Chicago Packers, Zephyrs, and the also-defunct Baltimore Bullets before joining the Celtics via trade in 1965. The last stop of his career, Green averaged 3.2 points and 1.1 rebounds per game as a Celtic, retiring afterward. Finally, it is also the birthday of ex-Celtic guard Quinn Buckner, born today in 1954 in Phoenix, Illinois. Buckner played college ball with the Indiana Hoosiers, where he won an NCAA championship, and was drafted seventh overall in the 1976 NBA Draft by the Bucks. He was dealt to the Celtics in 1982, and won a title in his second of three seasons with Boston. The Indiana alum would average 4.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists, traded to the Indiana Pacers in 1983.
