Tua Tagovailoa praises Miami Dolphins rookie Quinn Ewers: 'balling.'
MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa did not hold back in his praise of third-string rookie Quinn Ewers. "I think Quinn's been balling," Tua said after Miami's seventh training camp practice. "I think he's been buying into what he's been told in the quarterback room." Ewers, a seventh rounder from Texas, has made a big jump in recent outings. "Feeling healthy helps," Ewers said of growing confidence. "And I feel like I'm playing faster each and every day. I feel like with what's installed right now, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on that." Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel says Ewers has improved in the area of timing. The Miami offense is so predicated on timing and rhythm and trust. Tua Tagovailoa: Miami Dolphins rookie Quinn Ewers 'balling' Ewers says he's feeling more comfortable from the college-to-NFL transition. "I would just say the details and just the magnitude of the plays and how much every small detail matters," Ewers said. "Because obviously detail matters within Texas' playbook with Coach Sarkisian. But in the NFL I feel like it's just another level and just the multitude of different variations of plays that they have that match other plays. And it's, but at the end of the day, I love a challenge." Miami Dolphins rookie Quinn Ewers of Texas improving Ewers is the clear number three quarterback, behind veteran Zach Wilson. But it's certainly possible Ewers plays his way off a practice squad projection and onto the roster in the preseason. "That's where all the fun is, is finally getting out and getting to play other people rather than your own teammates," Ewers said. "And you get to see some different defenses and defensive schemes and defense players. Yeah, I feel good about it."

Cardinals predicted to trade pair of veteran relievers to Mariners
The St. Louis Cardinals are dangerously close to .500 after a 5-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night. They have already committed to selling at the trade deadline. They have three relief pitchers on expiring contracts that teams will show interest in. Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton and Steven Matz are likely to be shipped out. The Cardinals are now 4 1/2 games back of the San Diego Padres for the final National League Wild Card spot and are also now 10 games back in the NL Central. recently proposed six trade ideas with the deadline less than 48 hours away. Seattle Mariners reporter Brian Murphy proposed the idea of the team landing both Helsley and Maton from St. Louis. "Seattle's bullpen is anchored by two hard-throwing right-handers with unhittable sliders: closer Andrés Muñoz and setup man Matt Brash. But there is plenty of room for improvement behind that duo, and the Mariners could turbocharge their 'pen with a couple of rental relievers from St. Louis," Murphy wrote. Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Helsley has saved 21 games this year in 36 appearances and is 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA. Maton is 1-3 with a 2.35 ERA in 40 appearances. Both veteran relievers are able to generate swings and misses, which is valuable for any bullpen to have. Packaging both relievers together could allow St. Louis to bring back a massive haul of prospects that will set them up well for 2026 and beyond. With the Cardinals out of contention, it ultimately makes sense to trade their rental relievers and capitalize on their value. Their minor league pitching depth has taken a hit this year due to injuries. Thus, the Cardinals could bring back some solid prospects to replenish their depth. They are in desperate need of more rotation options for the future. We'll see if the Cardinals are able to bring back solid returns for their relievers. More MLB:

Dolphins Stock Report: McDaniel seeks more physical padded practices
The Miami Dolphins are working to shed the soft, finesse label the team has been given during the Mike McDaniel era. The bar has been set higher, which is why the first two padded practices of training camp haven't exactly met McDaniel's expectations for his 2025 team. 'It was solid. Kind of close to my expectations, but not where my team wants it to be,' McDaniel said, evaluating Miami's first padded practice on Tuesday. 'Our expectations and standards are going to be higher.' McDaniel claims these padded practices are providing him and his staff good tape to teach technique and pad level from. Here's a breakdown of what happened in Day 7 of Dolphins training camp. Top Performers ▪ Offensive tackle Patrick Paul had another monster day in a padded practice. The Dolphins' 2024 second-round pick won every rep of 1-on-1 for two practice periods (20 minutes), and then went to the field and locked down the left side of Miami's offensive line. Once Paul has a player blocked the play is seemingly over because it's hard to get around him, and nobody is powering through his 6-foot-7, 326 pound frame to the quarterback. ▪ Pass rusher Grayson Murphy was one of the Dolphins' most impressive undrafted rookies last year, but a knee injury he suffered in the exhibition season kept him from contributing during the regular season. Murphy, who spent all of last season on injured reserve, appears to have picked up where he left off. He's consistently creating pressure and would-be sacks on Miami's backup quarterbacks, and has been outperforming Mohamed Kamara and Cameron Goode. ▪ Receiver Dee Eskridge caught a deep ball touchdown from Zach Wilson after getting behind newly added cornerback Jack Jones. Safety Jordan Colbert took a couple false steps to his right, creating the opening for Wilson to unleash the cannon of an arm he has. At this point Eskridge has established himself as one of Miami's top four receivers. It might be time he starts working with the starters. STOCK UP ▪ Willie Gay Jr. has been one of training camp's top performers, making at least one impactful play per day. During Wednesday's practice he produced his usual sack. But he also dropped a possible interception from Quinn Ewers. That's his third interception drop of the first seven practices. Based on the way Gay has played the past seven practices it's pretty clear that defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver needs to find a role for Gay in Miami's third down defense. STOCK DOWN ▪ Julian Hill dropped an easy pitch and catch pass from Tua Tagovailoa during the first 11-on-11 period, and has had a relatively quiet training camp. Considering Pharoah Brown seems to be working his way up the depth chart, and Darren Waller, who began camp on the PUP, will be cleared to practice in a week or two, this is Hill's opportunity to lock down a starting role, and he's falling short of expectations. Injury updates ▪ Safety Ashtyn Davis will likely be sidelined an extended period, but not the season because of the left leg injury he suffered in Wednesday's practice. ▪ Cornerback Kader Kohou, the Dolphins' most experienced cornerback, is headed to injury reserve because of the left knee injury he suffered last Saturday. ▪ Cornerback B.J. Adams, who suffered a concussion on Saturday, continues to be sidelined while he's in the NFL concussion program. ▪ Safety Dante Trader Jr. continues nursing a soft tissue issue and will be held out of practice for a week, giving him time to heal for Miami's joint practices against the Chicago Bears next week. ▪ Offensive tackle Bayron Matos, who was hospitalized after the first practice because of a head/shoulder injury, has been released from the hospital but hasn't returned to practice.. ▪ Tight end Jalin Conyers missed a four straight day of practice and has a boot on his left leg. ▪ Linebacker Dejuan Jackson missed his second practice for unknown reasons. Offensive tackle Obinna Eze missed Wednesday's practice with an undisclosed injury. Corrnerback Kendall Sheffield missed Wednesday's practice with an undisclosed injury. What they said 'That dude is not faking that energy. And energy is a huge piece of how football teams play the game,' McDaniel on Gay's impact as an emotional tonesetter for the Dolphins.

Think You Know Partnerships? Wait Until They Test You
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Brand collaborations are everywhere today, but unless they actually improve the product experience, they can easily become misguided. And most fail quietly, because partnerships built on visibility alone collapse under the weight of delivery. The branded residences sector, which has grown 180% globally with hotspots in Dubai, Miami and Asia-Pacific, offers a powerful case study in how brand partnerships must go beyond surface-level alignment to operational depth. For entrepreneurs, the question isn't who you partner with. It's what you build together. When a business lands a partnership with an established brand, it can be tempting to assume reputation will do the heavy lifting. But name recognition alone doesn't close deals or generate long-term returns. The hard part is not getting the partnership over the line. The real test is making it deliver. When we partnered with a legacy luxury hotel brand, we quickly learned that it was crucial to integrate their operational DNA into our own. Simply licensing the name wasn't the goal. It had to show up in the way we built, the way we trained our team in communicating the product and how our customers experienced it. Related: I Used to Think 'Better for You' Meant No Fun. Here's What Changed My Mind. Operational depth In my leadership experience, I've seen that founders often miss that operational excellence is what sustains brand trust, especially in cross-industry partnerships. There is no substitute for the detailed work of integrating systems and standards. We adapted our partner's 85-point quality control matrix into our internal review systems and translated training SOPs from their hospitality playbook into residential staff protocols. To create your operational depth in your own partnerships, consider: Appointing dedicated liaisons from each side to spearhead integration. Mapping out potential friction points between distinct company cultures. Ensuring knowledge transfer beyond project completion that can be reapplied across future ventures. Customers don't just feel brand value. They feel operational excellence. And that kind of credibility can't be faked. Every element, from layout flow to customer interactions, must reflect the values of both partners. That's how you transfer trust. When this partnership was unveiled, we saw demand spike, not because of a marketing push, but because the market recognized a product that had internalized world-class systems. Join top CEOs, founders and operators at the Level Up conference to unlock strategies for scaling your business, boosting revenue and building sustainable success. Making partnerships stick The test for any partnership is this: if you removed your partner's name from all marketing materials, would customers still experience the partnership's value in your product or service? In hospitality, this might mean restructuring your design review cycles, integrating their service protocols, or adopting their quality control benchmarks as shared KPIs. In fintech, it might mean adjusting compliance workflows. In education, it might mean reworking pedagogy. The point is: if the partnership doesn't shift how you build, deliver, or measure, then it's just a cosmetic brand overlay. This kind of deep integration addresses a documented problem. McKinsey research shows that only 30% of business partnerships meet expectations. It's rarely a launch issue. It's a longevity issue. Once the ribbon is cut and the headlines fade, most teams revert to their default habits. But partnerships aren't events. They're integrations of operating systems. In our own experience, success meant cross-functional teams from both organizations syncing weekly for nearly seven months. Designers, legal leads, brand custodians and project heads weren't working in silos — they were co-building a single product. That kind of grind is why future collaborations are now expanding into new markets: based on trust, not just logos. To ensure your partnerships drive long-term value: Treat integration as a core strategic initiative, not a secondary marketing task. Address cultural differences early, especially in cross-border collaborations. Build mechanisms for joint accountability, not just ceremonial announcements. In our next venture, early market interest tripled, even before marketing materials were finalized. Why? Because the market didn't just see what we built. They saw how we built, and a replicable method. Relationships that once felt distant became collaborative. Investors began referencing our alignment with global standards as a key reason for confidence. That's not marketing. That's method. Related: 5 Hacks to Make Sure Your Business Partnerships Stay Intact Beyond the name, into the system Branded residences command 30% higher prices globally, with emerging markets seeing premiums of up to 50%. The sector has seen over 700 completed projects worldwide and another 600 in development. This success depends on what global real estate consultant Savills calls delivering "intangibles" beyond just name recognition. It's why even luxury automakers entering real estate today embed their engineering culture into materials, finishes and construction methods. Their brand value transfers because their operational capabilities actually improve the product. The real ROI of a brand partnership isn't measured only in sales velocity. It's measured in operational capability. In systems, you can reapply. In trust, you carry forward. True partnerships leave behind infrastructure — processes, playbooks, standards — that make the next project better than the last. They should be compounding assets. The question every founder should ask before inking a deal is this: "What operational edge will we build together?" The confidence dividend This recent partnership experience reshaped how I think about collaboration. Great partnerships aren't about basking in brand light. They're about absorbing the discipline that built it. A good partnership gives you visibility. A great one gives you capability. If you're lucky, it gives you both. But always build for the latter. When both sides bring depth, clarity and a willingness to co-create, the result isn't just faster sales. It's a stronger system, and systems scale.
