    Patriots' Drake Maye Unlikely to Play in Preseason Games

    New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is unlikely to play in any preseason games this year. The Patriots have been keeping their starters, including Maye, out of preseason action to protect them from injury. Maye had a strong showing in joint practices against the Philadelphia Eagles, which may have factored into the decision to keep him out of the games. The Patriots have also been cautious with other key players like wide receiver A.J. Brown and running back Rhamondre Stevenson. The team's final preseason game is against the Cleveland Browns on August 27.

    João Gomes Sent Off in Aston Villa's 4-0 Defeat to Brighton

    Aston Villa's new signing João Gomes had a debut to forget as he was sent off in the first half of their 4-0 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League. The Brazilian midfielder, who joined Villa from relegated Wolves for £38m, received a straight red card for violent conduct after kicking out at Georginio Rutter. This made him the first player in over 14 years to receive a first-half red card on his Premier League debut for a club. Villa were already 4-0 down when Gomes was sent off, with Brighton scoring through a goal against, De Cuyper, Hinshelwood (twice), and a fourth goal finished by Hinshelwood after Gomes lost the ball in the area. Gomes will now miss Villa's upcoming fixtures against Arsenal, Hull City, and Nottingham Forest.

    Lions vs. Commanders: Detroit's Preseason Win and Key Takeaways
