    Ex-Cardinals Receiver Zay Jones Signs With Houston Texans

    Former Arizona Cardinals receiver Zay Jones has signed with the Houston Texans. Jones joins the Texans after spending the past two seasons with the Cardinals. He will be reunited with head coach DeMeco Ryans, who was previously the defensive coordinator for the 49ers when Jones played there in 2020. The Texans signed Jones and veteran receiver Sterling Shepard following an injury to second-year receiver Jayden Higgins. Jones had a rough start in Arizona with a five-game suspension in 2024 but played as a depth receiver in 2025. In two seasons with the Cardinals, he caught 20 passes for 267 yards and no touchdowns.

    Browns' QB Decision Delayed After Another Uneven Preseason Game

    The Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback decision remains uncertain after another mixed performance from both Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders in their preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Todd Monken has not set a firm deadline for the decision but hinted that it could come soon. Watson completed 11 of 15 passes for 126 yards in the first half but did not throw a touchdown or interception. He also lost a fumble on a sack. Sanders entered in the third quarter and completed 6 of 11 passes for 79 yards with an interception. He showed flashes but the turnover loomed large. The Browns now have one preseason game remaining against the New England Patriots. Watson appears to have the advantage with the preseason nearing its end, but Sanders will have one more chance to state his case in front of a home crowd.

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

    The Detroit Lions secured their first preseason win against the Washington Commanders, with several positives and areas of concern emerging. Quarterback depth behind Jared Goff remains a worry, with Josh Dobbs and Luke Altmyer struggling under pressure. The defense, however, impressed, led by DJ Reed's standout performance and the emergence of rookies Blake Miller, Keith Abney, and Derrick Moore. The Lions' running game thrived, with Jacob Saylors, Trayveon Williams, and Raheem Blackshear all making strong cases for roster spots. Wide receivers had a quiet day, while tight end Jackson Meeks shone. The offensive line showed promise, but there are still concerns at center. The Lions will look to build on this win as they prepare for their final preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts.

    California High School Football Coach Fired After Kicking Ball Into Player's Groin

    Adam Brubaker, a California high school football coach, was fired after kicking a football during practice that struck one of his players in the groin. The incident, which was caught on video, occurred after Brubaker expressed frustration with a player tackling an offensive player during a drill. Brubaker described the kick as an 'accidental' and 'one-in-a-million shot', but was dismissed by the school district nonetheless. The player required help off the field, and the school has since appointed an interim head coach.
