Colts rookie CB Justin Walley (ACL) out for season
Walley was listed as a starter on the first depth chart of the preseason by the Colts, who selected him in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Minnesota.
"Huge blow," Steichen said on Thursday, two days after Walley suffered the injury. "I think he was having a hell of a camp. His man coverage skills were great, he was making a ton of plays in practice too before it happened."
Walley, 22, recorded 42 tackles and two interceptions -- including one returned for a touchdown -- in 10 games last season with the Golden Gophers.
Fellow cornerbacks JuJu Brents and Jaylon Jones have missed practices while nursing hamstring injuries.

World's richest tennis player's billionaire father broke own golden rule at US Open
Jessica Pegula is one of the finest tennis players in the world and is the daughter of Terry Pegula, who is the billionaire owner of both the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres Tennis can be as nerve-wracking for the parents as it is for the players themselves, and this seems to be particularly true for Jessica Pegula's billionaire father, Terry. In addition to being the parent of the world No. 4, he is the man behind NFL giants the Buffalo Bills and the NHL franchise Buffalo Sabres. With an estimated fortune of about £5.63billion, the businessman has admitted he usually avoids watching his daughter's matches because he "gets too nervous." Yet, at last year's US Open, the 74-year-old abandoned that tradition to witness her 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 comeback victory over Karolina Muchova. His rare presence courtside became a major talking point given his reluctance to watch Jessica - often dubbed the world's richest tennis player - in action. During Pegula's clash with Muchova in the semi-finals, WGRZ sports director Jon Scott highlighted Terry's well-known anxiety when following Jessie live. He wrote on X: "Terry Pegula shown watching daughter Jessie in US Open semi-final. He's said in the past he gets too nervous to watch her in person." Despite steering clear of many of her contests, Terry never doubted her potential to rise among the elite. Scott also posted: "I had a conversation many years ago with Terry Pegula about Jessie's tennis career. "At that point injuries had really slowed her. Terry adamantly told me his daughter could beat anyone in the world when healthy. She's headed to 1st grand slam final Saturday." Pegula eventually met Aryna Sabalenka in the New York final, where she narrowly fell short. Despite pushing the top seed in both sets, Sabalenka edged her out 7-5, 7-5, leaving Pegula heartbroken. As she returns to Flushing Meadows this summer, Pegula will be eager to go one step further. Before starting her singles run, however, she will first join forces with British No. 1 Jack Draper in the mixed doubles competition. The redesigned tournament, which offers a winners' prize of £740,000, promises to be a lively warm-up ahead of the Slam commencing on 24 August. Pegula had originally planned to partner fellow American Tommy Paul, while Draper was due to team up with Paula Badosa. Both Paul and Badosa withdrew, creating the unexpected pairing of Draper and Pegula. Their opener will be no easy task as they are set to play against Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu. Raducanu and Alcaraz received wildcards for the draw, along with Olga Danilovic and Novak Djokovic, Taylor Townsend and Ben Shelton, and Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka.

PGA Tour releases 2026 schedule, will return to Trump Doral
August 19 - The 2026 PGA Tour schedule, released Tuesday, includes 35 official FedEx Cup stops and nine signature events and marks the return of play to Trump National Doral. The Doral course, in Miami, had hosted PGA Tour events annually from 1962-2016. It will be one of nine venues next season with at least 50 years of PGA Tour play when the Miami Championship is contested beginning April 30. "We're excited to showcase the game's greatest players competing at golf's most iconic venues," CEO Brian Rolapp said. The PGA Tour left Doral after the tournament's title sponsor pulled out. It occurred at the same time that presidential candidate Donald Trump made derogatory statements about certain ethnic groups to the dismay of the PGA Tour. The marquee signature events, which feature the top players on tour competing for an enhanced purse, are as follows: The Sentry (Jan. 8-11) AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am (Feb. 12-15) The Genesis Invitational (Feb. 19-22) Arnold Palmer Invitational (March 5-8) RBC Heritage (April 16-19) Miami Championship (April 30-May 3) Truist Championship (May 7-10) Memorial Tournament (June 4-7) Travelers Championship (June 25-28) The season starts with The Sentry, in Hawaii, and culminates with the 20th FedEx Cup Playoffs and the grand finale Tour Championship in Atlanta. "We're thrilled with our momentum in 2025, as our season-long ratings and event attendance are confirming that our players and their stories are resonating with fans," Rolapp said. The four majors are as scheduled: The Masters Tournament, Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. (April 9-12) PGA Championship, Arnonimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pa. (May 14-17) U.S. Open, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. (June 18-21) The Open Championship, Royal Birkdale in Southport, England (July 16-19) The 2026 season will include some previously announced changes, including to eligibility requirements and field sizes. Other notable moments on the schedule include the return of The Genesis Invitational to The Riviera Country Club, displaced in 2025 because of the Los Angeles-area wild fires. The Truist Championship also will be back where it belongs at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte after being played in Philadelphia as the PGA Championship occupied the course in 2025. And the BMW Championship, the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs, will be played at the Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis for the first time since 2008. In 2026, Medinah Country Club near Chicago will host the 16th edition of the Presidents Cup, which pits the United States team of captain Brent Snedeker against captain Geoff Ogilvy's international team. --Field Level Media

Game to love! Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz hit the court for long-awaited US Open mixed doubles pairing in $1m tournament amid relationship rumours
Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz have taken to the court on Arthur Ashe in New York in a bid to start their hotly anticipated US Open mixed doubles campaign against familiar opposition - fellow British No1 Jack Draper. The two former US Open champions' partnership was the most star-studded of those announced with the new-look event's launch two weeks ago, with their pairing sparking speculation over their relationship status after Raducanu was pictured taking in Alcaraz's successful run at Queen's in June. Both Raducanu and Alcaraz have spoken of their excitement about playing with one another, with the British No1 paying tribute to their 'genuine connection' on court. Newly minted Cincinnati Open champion Alcaraz echoed Raducanu's delight saying that he planned to let her be 'the boss' in their partnership when they eventually step on to court. As they made their way on to court, Alcaraz and Raducanu looked up for the challenge, laughing and talking to one another as they soaked up the applause of the crowd. Raducanu and Alcaraz's pairing - dubbed Raducaraz by some fans - has come about after the American Grand Slam decided to entirely revamp their mixed doubles competition. The British No1 will be keen to nab her second Grand Slam title in the $1million tournament Instead of looking to attempt the top doubles players in the format, top singles players were encouraged to pair up with their peers for a shot at the eye-popping $1million prize. The event is taking place at US Open fan week, six days before focus will inevitably switch to their singles commitments, with both Arthur Ashe and second show court Louis Armstrong packed to the rafters with spectators keen for a glimpse of some of the world's top players. Among the similarly glittering pairings are world No2 Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud, seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams and her compatriot Reilly Opelka, Raducanu and Alcaraz's opponent Draper and his partner, last year's US Open finalist Jessica Pegula, who are the tournament's No1 seeds. But the competition has been mired in chaos ahead of its first matches on Tuesday morning, with a number of high profile stars forced to withdraw due to injuries and scheduling concerns. World No1 Aryna Sabalenka withdrew along with her partner Grigor Dimitrov following his heartbreaking injury at Wimbledon earlier this summer, and Draper was forced to change partners not once but twice after both Zheng Qinwen and Paula Badosa were also sidelined. In the tournament's latest - and most high-profile withdrawal - world No1 and US Open defending champion Jannik Sinner withdrew at the 11th hour on Monday afternoon, after he was forced to retire in the final of the Cincinnati Open due to illness. Alcaraz's continued participation, along with fellow Cincinnati champion Swiatek, has come as some surprise, with both players only landing in New York at 12.50am on Monday evening after flying in from Ohio via private jet. The 22-year-old admitted in his post-final press conference that there was almost nothing that would stop him playing with Raducanu. 'The scheduling isn't the best, playing tomorrow... but the concept of the tournament I love it,' Alcaraz said. 'I'm going to have so much fun playing with Emma. 'It's going to be tough playing against Draper and Pegula, but I will try to enjoy it as much as I can. The 22-year-old took in Alcaraz's semi-final match at Queen's after their partnership was announced in June 'I will try to see how the court and balls will be and treat it as good preparation for me. I will try to be at my best after my trip to New York. 'Probably going to sleep late but I'll try to play my best tennis to help Emma get the win, let's see if we will get it. 'It will be fun and a great opportunity to play those matches.' Alcaraz will hope to follow in the footsteps of Swiatek, who is through to the semi-finals on Wednesday with Ruud following their defeat of hometown stars Frances Tiafoe and Madison Keys in the first round, and late pairing Lorenzo Musetti and Caty McNally in their quarter-final.
