CHICAGO (AP) — Carlos Santana was contacted by a couple teams after he was released by Cleveland last week. Once he heard from Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell, he knew what he wanted to do.

"The day before I come here, he called me and said 'Hey, I need you here,'" Santana said. "I say 'Oh, yes,' I don't think twice."

Santana joined Chicago on Monday after signing a one-year contract. The Cubs also added Aaron Civale to their roster one day after they claimed the veteran right-hander off waivers from the White Sox.

Outfielder Kevin Alcántara was recalled from Triple-A Iowa, and outfielder Owen Caissie was sent down. With Pete Crow-Armstrong slumping at the plate, Alcántara could be used in center field against left-handed pitching.

Santana joined the contending Cubs in time to be eligible for the team's playoff roster. The MLB deadline used to be midnight ET at end of Aug. 31, but it was changed in the offseason to noon ET on Sept. 1. Active major league rosters also expanded from 26 to 28 players on Monday.

"We just think adding kind of some veteran players to strengthen, fortify, offer some insurance to the roster is really what we're looking for," Counsell said before Chicago's game against Atlanta. "Not anticipating, frankly, big roles, but should things happen, then their roles could expand."

The 39-year-old Santana was let go by the Guardians on Thursday, ending his third stint with the franchise.

Chicago has Michael Busch at first base, and Seiya Suzuki is the team's primary designated hitter. But the addition of Santana puts an experienced switch hitter on Counsell's bench.

Santana batted .225 with 11 homers and 52 RBIs in 116 games with the Guardians after signing a $12 million, one-year contract in December. The former Silver Slugger and Gold Glove winner is the majors' active leader with 1,330 career walks.

Santana played for Counsell at the end of the 2023 season, after he was traded from Pittsburgh to Milwaukee.

"I come to here for hope, for making championship," Santana said. "Before I retire, I want to make a champion. ... I'm open for any situation that (Counsell) needs me."

Santana has appeared in 30 playoff games, batting .205 with five homers and 13 RBIs. He made it to the 2016 World Series with Cleveland, losing to the Cubs in seven games.

"I think he's at a stage of his career where he's interested in one thing, just being a part of fun, being a part of winning," Counsell said. "And he's earned a great reputation in the game, and it's always good adding people like that."

Civale is 3-9 with a 5.26 ERA in 18 starts this year. He was traded from the Brewers to the White Sox for first baseman Andrew Vaughn on June 13.

The Cubs plan to use Civale in a bulk role out of the bullpen, keeping him stretched out in case he is needed in the rotation at some point.

"Not a lot of pitching went on the waiver wire in August," president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said. "But Civale is a guy that we had talked about at the (trade) deadline also. He was having a solid year as a starter there and pitching well."

The 30-year-old Civale is 42-44 with a 4.18 ERA in 135 career starts, also playing for Cleveland and Tampa Bay. He was moved to the bullpen by the Brewers, but he said he wanted to continue to start — leading to the trade to the last-place White Sox.

"It's a good opportunity," Civale said of joining the Cubs. "Just doing my best to take advantage of it and trying to come in here and help the team."

DETROIT (AP) — Juan Soto tied his career high with six RBIs, hitting a grand slam and a tiebreaking, two-run triple to lead the New York Mets over the Detroit Tigers 10-8 on Monday.

Soto's fourth-inning homer off Charlie Morton put the Mets ahead 6-3. After Detroit tied the score, Soto gave the Mets an 8-6 lead when he tripled off Drew Sommers (0-1), who lost in his first big league decision.

Soto has 36 homers. His previous homers this season were all solo or two-run drives. He is 11 for 26 with with a 1.446 OPS with runners in scoring position since Aug. 1.

New York maintained a four-game lead over Cincinnati for the final NL wild card. Detroit began the day with a 9 1/2-game AL Central lead.

Jahmai Jones had his first four-hit game, starting when he homered on Sean Manaea's first pitch. Gleyber Torres' two-run homer gave Detroit a 3-2 lead in the third.

After Sosa's slam, Zach McKinstry hit an RBI triple in the bottom half and scored on Jones' single. Spencer Torkelson tied the score in the fifth on a wild pitch by Ryne Stanek (3-6).

Edwin Díaz retired four hitters for his 25th save in 27 chances.

Manaea gave up five runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings and has a 7.81 ERA in his last six starts. The Mets have allowed double-digit hits in four straight games.

Key moment

Down 9-6 in the sixth with a runner on second, Wenceel Pérez Perez hit a liner into the left-centerfield gap that Cedric Mullins caught with a dive. Tyler Rogers then struck out Torkelson.

Key stat

Soto had six RBIs on Sept. 17, 2023, for San Diego against Oakland, when he hit his only previous slam.

Up next

Mets RHP Nolan McLean (3-0, 0.89) and Tigers RHP Sawyer Gipson-Long (0-1, 4.32) start Tuesday.

Martha Stewart's work-in-progress pool in Maine -

Martha Stewart followers about her new swimming pool on the site of a historic Maine mansion in an Instagram post on Saturday, Aug. 30

The businesswoman purchased the mansion in 2015, knocked it down in 2021 and is currently in the process of turning the basement into the "perfect swimming pool"

Stewart owns an estate next to the in-progress pool

Martha Stewart is building her dream pool.

The lifestyle expert, 84, posted about her "biggest building project of the year" in an Instagram post on Saturday, Aug. 30.

The celebrity chef described that she is building a swimming pool on the site of the historic Maine mansion she had purchased and knocked down several years ago, noting that the project "might actually be completed in the near future." She wrote, "The basement contained a massive and glorious pink granite rock - part of the landscape. I immediately thought the large basement with its unique perimeter shape and interior depth would make the perfect swimming pool."

A post shared by Martha Stewart (@marthastewart48)

In the collection of photos Stewart posted, fans can get a look at the pink rock jutting out of the pool's floor. It appears as if the border of the pool's edge is made with a coordinating pink stone, per the photos posted.

In addition to the "very long pool," Stewart said she is planning to build a hot tub, pool house and area to play volleyball and badminton.

"Most fabulous of all are the expansive views of the numerous islands to the south, the ocean and the harbor," she added.

In the caption, Stewart marveled at the "highly skilled local contractors" and concluded the post by writing, "Keep up the great work everyone I want to swim soon !!!!!!!"

The soon-to-be pool destination was formerly Ox Ledge, a mansion caddy-cornered with Stewart's Seal Harbor, Maine estate that the mogul bought in 2015 and tore down in 2021, per local news outlet Mount Desert Islander.

Followers gawked at Stewart's architectural project, complimenting her "incredible taste" and the size of the pool.

"That is a swimming…lake 😂," real estate mogul Ryan Serhant joked. Another person wrote, "Only Martha can repurpose an old building into a FABULOUS pool , with a natural pink rock feature. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥"

Stewart recently celebrated her 84th birthday on Aug. 3 with family by her side. Her daughter Alexis, 59, baked a cake for the businesswoman, according to an Instagram post. In an Instagram Stories post, Martha reshared a photo her 14-year-old granddaughter Jude Stewart posted, showing the pair out to eat at a seafood restaurant. (Alexis, is also mom to son Truman, 13.)

Grace Van Patten made her acting debut at age 8 on The Sopranos

Her dad, Timothy Van Patten, directed several episodes of the hit HBO series, and she says that seeing his career ups and downs helped her avoid having a "glamorized idea" of the industry

She's currently starring in Hulu's The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox

Grace Van Patten got an early start in the industry.

The actress, 28, made her on-screen debut at just 8 years old, when she appeared in two episodes of The Sopranos, directed by her father, Timothy Van Patten.

She played Ally Pontecorvo, daughter of Eugene (Robert Funaro) and Deanne (Suzanne DiDonna), in the first two episodes of season 6, and the experience is one that's stayed with her in the two decades that followed.

"There were a lot of pivots from when I was 8 to, I guess, 18, when I really started working," Grace tells PEOPLE. "I went through so many things in between."

Her time on the show, albeit brief, helped her fall "more in love" with acting, she says.

"It was amazing," Grace recalls. "I fell more in love with doing it, but I was so young, I wasn't like, 'This is what I'm going to do forever.' It felt like a super fun thing that I saw all these amazing people doing, but could not picture it as a career."

"I mean, I was 8, obviously," she continues. "And there was such a big gap in between [The Sopranos and other roles]. So yes, it was my first job, but it didn't feel like the start of anything, you know?"

Instead, she took away a love for the craft from the experience, but didn't really work again for a decade.

Other than a 2013 appearance on Law & Order, Grace spent her years from 8 to 18 doing "the normal thing."

"There are kids that really do start that young and do it consistently, but I think my parents were like, 'No.'"

She enrolled at New York's famous LaGuardia High School — fellow alumni include Timothée Chalamet, Jennifer Aniston and Al Pacino — where she did "four hours of acting every single day."

But by graduation, Grace still "really didn't know what I wanted to do," she says. "I knew I loved acting, but I still didn't see it as a career."

In retrospect, the Tell Me Lies star says that doubt was a side-effect of not having "much faith in myself," but it was also influenced by her dad's experiences.

"I saw my dad as a director, I saw how unpredictable it was, and it wasn't all just exciting and fun, and it didn't click in my brain that it was even possible," she says.

"I saw how fulfilling and creative and exciting it was, and then I saw how challenging and unpredictable and scary it was," she continues. "So I saw all the sides of it, which was really helpful. I didn't have this glamorized idea of it, and I think it hurt me less when things weren't happening. Because I'm like, 'No, that's just how it goes.'"

Amidst her doubts, Grace decided to take a gap year after high school. "Within that gap year, I did take classes and random things to just be like, 'Do I really just want to do acting?' I'd like to see if I could [love something else]."

At the same time, she "just started auditioning and started working," and now here we are.

In 2021, she landed a role in Nine Perfect Strangers alongside Nicole Kidman, which she followed up with Tell Me Lies, which launched her — and her boyfriend and costar Jackon White — into new levels of stardom. Now, she's starring in Hulu's The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, her biggest role to date.

"It just felt very, very important to me, which I haven't experienced doing a job before," she says of playing Knox in the series. "The importance of telling something that really should be told."

New episodes of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox drop Wednesdays on Hulu.

Venice Film Festival

Amanda Seyfried in The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) -

Amanda Seyfried's The Testament of Ann Lee received a 15-minute standing ovation at the Venice International Film Festival, the longest so far of any movie at the event

The actress was seen tearing up at the reception as she stood among her fellow cast and crew, including director/co-writer Mona Fastvold

The premiere came hours after Seyfried opened up at a press conference about her unique experience playing the film's titular religious leader, saying there were "no tethers"

The first reactions to Amanda Seyfried's latest movie hit her right in the feels.

Following the world premiere of The Testament of Ann Lee during the Venice International Film Festival on Monday, Sept. 1, the Mona Fastvold-directed historical musical drama earned a 15-minute standing ovation — the longest so far of any film at this year's event, surpassing the 13 minutes of applause given to Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein over the weekend.

Seyfried, 39, was captured getting emotional at the ovation in video footage shared by Variety that showed her crying as she gazed around in awe at her colleagues, including director/co-writer Fastvold, while they took in the reception.

Per a synopsis from the festival, The Testament of Ann Lee is "an epic fable inspired by the life of Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers, a radical religious movement that began in the late 1700s."

As Fastvold described in a statement shared with the festival, in part, "Our film is a speculative retelling of the life of Ann Lee, one of the few female religious leaders of the 18th century. She and her followers, known as the Shakers, worshipped through ecstatic song and movement — trembling, exuberant and physically expressive acts of devotion."

Ahead of the premiere on Monday, Seyfried opened up at a press conference about her unique experience playing the film's titular religious leader.

"This did feel like an opportunity where there were just no tethers to anything," she said. "Basically, I follow Mona into the light and anything goes, because there's so much freedom, and the only threat is to not use that freedom to your advantage as an artist to go as far deep as you can go to make the craziest sounds. I've never been let loose in this way."

Asked why she cast Seyfried in the lead role, Fastvold said during the Venice press conference, "Amanda has a lot of power. She's really strong. She is a wonderful mother. She is a little mad. And so I knew that she could access those things — she could access the kindness, the gentleness, the tenderness. And she could also access this power and this madness."

Added the director, 39, "And I think that, at our age, there is something really exciting about exploring the combination of all of that. And I saw that Amanda has all of that, and that she was ready to go full force into that."

Seyfried, who also sings in The Testament of Ann Lee, said during the press conference that making the film was an "incredible," experience, but noted that "it's also really hard playing somebody who's a leader."

"Like yes, I relate to the mother instincts, I relate to the need for community and kindness and compassion and the quality. And I love Mona's intentions and Ann Lee's intentions behind everything they did, and it was just so attractive," the Emmy Award winner explained.

But at the same time, "I also was like, 'Mona, you don't have to cast me,' " Seyfried admitted. "I kept saying, 'Go with somebody English,' because the accent seemed so hard. That wasn't the hardest part but it was just, I saw the love that Mona had. This was her baby, and I didn't want to F it up. But she believed in me, so I believed in me, and here we are."

Aside from Seyfried, The Testament of Ann Lee's cast includes Thomasin McKenzie, Lewis Pullman, Stacy Martin, Tim Blake Nelson, Christopher Abbott, Matthew Beard, Scott Handy, Jamie Bogyo, Viola Prettejohn and David Cale.

Fastvold penned the movie's screenplay alongside husband Brady Corbet, with whom she also wrote Oscar favorite The Brutalist (2024). That film was up for 10 Academy Awards and won three, including Best Actor for Adrien Brody.

The Venice International Film Festival runs through Saturday, Sept. 6. An official release date for The Testament of Ann Lee has not yet been announced.

Al Roker is getting a little emotional as he's readjusting to being an empty nester again

The 'Today' weatherman shared that his son has returned to college and his granddaughter Sky is back home with her parents

Roker said it was a "bittersweet weekend" at his house

Al Roker is feeling emotional as back-to-school season starts.

On Monday, Sept. 1, the Today weatherman, 71, shared a carousel of photos on his Instagram as his son Nicholas, 23, headed back to college and his granddaughter Sky, 2, returned home to her parents.

Roker could be seen smiling next to his son and wife Deborah Roberts in one sweet photo as they took a family selfie. Nicholas towered over his parents, who stood next to each other. Other photos show Roker's granddaughter Sky in a grocery store and playing in his garden.

"Well, my baby boy is back off to college and my baby granddaughter is back home with Mommy and Daddy. It was a bittersweet weekend," Roker wrote in his caption.

— sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

Alongside Nicholas, Roker is a father to daughters Courtney and Leila. He first became a father in 1987, when his daughter Courtney, 37 – whom he shared with his late ex-wife Alice Bell — was born.

Following his divorce from Bell in 1994, Roker wed Deborah Roberts in 1995, and the couple went on to have two children together: daughter Leila, 26, and son Nicholas.

This past July, Roker shared a sweet Instagram Reel to celebrate his son Nicholas' 23rd birthday. In the clip, which was set to Lenny Kravitz's "Happy Birthday," Roker included several pictures of his son from his childhood into adulthood, saying that he's "very proud of the young man he has become."

"Happy Birthday to this guy. Hard to believe he is 23!" Here's a look at those 23 years. So very proud of the young man he has become. We love you, Nicholas!!"

A post shared by Al Roker (@alroker)

On an October 2024 episode of Today, the news anchor was joined by his daughter Courtney as they shared their recipe for salmon burgers from their cookbook, Al Roker's Recipes to Live By: Easy Memory-Making Family Dishes for Every Occasion.

The chef and recipe developer and her husband Wesley Laga welcomed their daughter Sky Lara in July 2023, making Roker an official "pop-pop." After cooking up their burgers, Wesley entered the set holding the 15-month-old, who had tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh, were you crying, sweetheart?" Roker asked as he took Sky from his son-in-law. "You wanted your pop-pop. There we go," he said while bouncing his granddaughter in his arms.

PARIS (Reuters) -France will host a mostly virtual meeting on Thursday of some 30 countries to discuss their latest efforts to provide Ukraine with security support once there is a peace agreement with Russia and to denounce Moscow's unwillingness for negotiations.

"Following the meeting held between Europeans and Americans in Washington on August 18, the heads of state and government will discuss the work on security guarantees for Ukraine conducted in recent weeks and will take stock of the consequences of Russia's persistent refusal to make peace," President Emmanuel Macron's office said in a statement on Monday.

The so-called "coalition of the willing" put together by France and Britain in February has held talks for months at various levels to try to define plans for what they could contribute militarily for Ukraine to deter Russia from attacking it again once there is a final truce.

Those efforts have stalled in recent months as governments have said any European military role in or around Ukraine would need its own U.S. security guarantees as a backstop, but there had been very little sign that the administration of President Donald Trump would provide those.

Thursday's meeting will take stock of recent planning by army chiefs, but also underscore to Trump that since he met Russian President Vladimir Putin in August there has been no progress in holding direct talks between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, diplomats said.

Zelenskiy is due to travel to Paris on Thursday, although at this stage most of the leaders' participation will be virtual. It was not clear whether the U.S. would attend, although diplomats said Washington would at the very least be debriefed afterwards.

ZELENSKIY THANKS MACRON, SPEAKS TO NATO HEAD RUTTE

Zelenskiy, writing on the X social media platform, thanked Macron for his "steadfast support" and said a response was needed for Russia "dragging their feet and prolonging the war".

In a further comment on Telegram, Zelenskiy said he had spoken to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte about coordinating efforts.

"Russia has stolen from peace, brazenly taking away a significant part of this year," he wrote. "This autumn, we must do everything possible to strengthen our positions."

The coalition is made up largely of European Union countries, but also includes Turkey, Canada and Australia.

Trump in August appeared for the first time to open the door to some U.S. military involvement in post-war Ukraine, including air support, as long as Europe stepped up its planning.

Macron said on Friday that contributions from the coalition of willing countries for post-war Ukraine would centre on strengthening its army to see who and how it would be trained, financed and equipped.

It would also consider the creation of a "reassurance force" outlining what countries would be ready to send and in what capacity, whether land, sea or air.

A final element entails support forces positioned in countries neighbouring Ukraine.

CHICAGO (Reuters) -Thousands of protesters packed the streets near downtown Chicago on Monday, singing, chanting and waving signs protesting U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to flood the city with National Guard troops and federal immigration agents.

The march was one of roughly 1,000 "Workers over Billionaires" protests across the country on the U.S. Labor Day holiday. But Chicago's demonstration had a decidedly more pointed tone as residents bristled against Trump's promise to target Chicago next in a deployment similar to those under way in Los Angeles and Washington D.C., two other Democrat-run cities.

Mayor Brandon Johnson, speaking to the crowd, vowed that Chicago would resist federal encroachment.

"This is the city that will defend the country," he said, receiving loud cheers from protesters waving blue-striped Chicago flags.

As the crowd wove through the city, some walking dogs and carrying children on their shoulders, diners sitting outside at local restaurants and cafes pumped their fists and cars honked in support. Organizers estimated 5,000 to 10,000 people were in attendance, though Reuters was not immediately able to verify the size with city officials.

Protesters said they were concerned by Trump's threat to send out the National Guard and additional ICE agents.

Filiberto Ramirez, 72, feared violence if additional ICE agents come to the city. "Do we feel there's gonna be trouble? Yes," Ramirez said. "I hope nobody gets hurt."

Trump has singled out Chicago in recent weeks over violent crime, calling the city "a mess," "a hellhole" and a "killing field." But on Monday, Chicagoans at the protest said they did not feel the National Guard was a solution to crime in the city.

"There is a crime problem," said Yvonne Spears, 67, "but the National Guard is supposed to fight for us, not against us."

Homicide rates in the nation's third-largest city have plunged in recent years, according to city crime data. And though a 2025 University of Chicago survey reported roughly half of Chicagoans feel unsafe in their neighborhoods at night, many protesters said on Monday that they felt largely safe in the city.

City and state leaders have already readied measures to shield Chicago from federal troops and would likely launch a slew of lawsuits challenging a deployment, which legal experts said would violate the U.S. Constitution and a 19th-century law prohibiting the military from enforcing domestic laws.

Mayor Johnson signed an executive order on Saturday saying that Chicago police will not collaborate with federal agents or National Guard troops and directing all police officers to wear official uniforms and not to wear masks. Meanwhile, immigrant rights groups have worked to fortify their defenses amid threats of stepped-up immigration enforcement by working to hire more attorneys, staffing immigration hotlines and launching more "know your rights" training.

"The people here are proud that we're a sanctuary city," said Andrea Reyes, 42, referencing city policies prohibiting its government from involvement with federal immigration enforcement.

"I don't think it'll go well if the National Guard comes here."

LONDON (AP) — Tottenham signed France striker Randal Kolo Muani on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain in the final hours of the summer transfer window on Monday.

The 26-year-old Kolo Muani will provide competition for Richarlison and Dominic Solanke at Tottenham, which is playing in the Champions League this season.

Kolo Muani joined PSG in September 2023 but never established as a regular and spent the second half of last season at Juventus. He has nine goals in 31 games for France.

"He's a good age, in the prime of his career, has good qualities that will suit both us and the Premier League, and gives us a different option in the final third being able to play out wide and through the middle," Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said.

Jacob Camenker, USA TODAY September 2, 2025 at 3:41 AM

The Green Bay Packers acquired Micah Parsons in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys in the week leading up to the 2025 NFL season.

While Parsons passed a physical with the Packers to complete the trade, the 26-year-old is dealing with a back ailment that could impact him early during the 2025 NFL season.

Parsons' back malady was a known issue before the trade. The Cowboys edge rusher was held out of practice because of the injury, though some assumed it was a ploy to allow the disgruntled pass rusher to continue his hold-in away from the team.

Parsons' injury was, in fact, real, and he figures to have to manage it throughout the 2025 NFL season as he looks to quickly establish himself as a star with the Packers.

Here's what to know about Parsons' injury and whether he will be able to see the field in Week 1.

Micah Parsons injury update

Parsons is dealing with an L4/L5 facet joint sprain in his back ahead of the 2025 NFL season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Facet joints are "are the links between the bones of the spine," according to Nationwide Children's Hospital. The joint between the L4 and L5 vertabrae is located in the lower back, which is also known as the lumber portion of the spine.

Injuries to facet joints can cause "pain and irritation," which is presumably what Parsons is dealing with ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

Parsons was in a physical therapy program at the end of his time with the Cowboys, according to Schefter. Dallas also "prescribed [Parsons] a five-day plan of an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid" to help him recover from the injury.

It isn't yet clear how exactly the Packers will treat Parsons' injury, but Schefter reports the perennial Pro Bowler "may take an epidural injection prior to Sunday's game vs. the Lions if needed to help him play."

MICAH PARSONS TRADE GRADES: Who won deal between Packers, Cowboys?

Will Micah Parsons play Week 1 vs. Detroit Lions?

Parsons is "trying to play" in the Packers season-opener against the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7, per Schefter.

Parsons has been practicing since being acquired from the Cowboys, but it remains "uncertain" whether he will be able to get on the field in Week 1.

Micah Parsons injury history

Parsons has played in 63 of a possible 68 regular-season games during his NFL career to date. Below is a look at the absences he endured during his four years with the Cowboys.

2021: Parsons missed Dallas' regular-season finale after being played on the reserve/COVID list. He returned to play in their 23-17 playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

2024: Parsons suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Cowboys' Week 4 game against the New York Giants. He missed four games because of the injury.

Dallas posted a 2-3 record in its five games without Parsons from 2021-24.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs will be starting a new left guard and tackle, the latter coming off a major knee injury, when they travel nearly 12 hours to play their season opener on foreign soil against one of the NFL's best defenses.

If that sounds like a nightmare for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, how would you describe last season?

The Chiefs pondered a half-dozen options back then in trying to protect his blind side, ultimately giving up on second-round pick Kingsley Suamataia and second-year pro Wanya Morris. The result was predictable. Mahomes was sacked 36 times, eight more than any other season in his eight-year NFL career. His sack rate was a career-worst 5.83% of drop-backs, and that translated into a net yards-per-attempt of fewer than 6 for the first time in his career.

The whole mess culminated at the Super Bowl, when the Philadelphia Eagles not only sacked Mahomes six times but hit him on 11 occasions in a 40-22 loss that never seemed as close as the final score might suggest.

"We knew we had to get better," Chiefs general manager Brett Veach acknowledged.

Whether they did will be revealed on Friday night in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where the Chiefs open the season against the Los Angeles Chargers. They will be starting first-round pick Josh Simmons at left tackle against a defense that features pass rushers Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu, while Suamataia — now converted to guard — will be lining up next to him on the left side.

The duo solidified starting roles early in training camp along an offensive line that includes All-Pro center Creed Humphrey, right guard Trey Smith — who just signed a four-year, $94 million extension — and veteran right tackle Jawaan Taylor.

"I think every step of the way so far, they've done a great job of getting better and better, and kind of checking those boxes," Mahomes said. "This will be a great test for them. This is a prolific D-line with Khalil Mack and really all throughout. They have great depth at edge, at D-tackles, and they were one of the best defenses in the league this past year.

"It'll be another test for these guys," Mahomes said, "and I'm excited for them to go out there and accept the challenge."

What other choice do they have?

Simmons has been a revelation in the preseason, perhaps even surpassing what the Chiefs expected of him when they selected him No. 32 overall in the April draft. The biggest reason he slid so far in the first round was that Simmons tore his patellar tendon last season at Ohio State, and many teams were uncertain when he would be ready to play.

Simmons wound up attending every optional workout, mandatory minicamp and training camp practice, and he excelled when he got an opportunity in preseason games. Never once did it look as if his knee was causing him any problems.

"I took preseason with a grain of salt," Simmons said. "It's kind of backups here, maybe a guy who doesn't play this position here, so I just kind of took it with a grain of salt. How was my technique? Did I take the right footsteps? Etcetera."

He certainly made a believer of his most important critic: Andy Reid.

The Chiefs coach is an offensive line coach at heart, so he takes particular interest in the big guys up front. And while Reid was predictably understated in his assessment, he admitted that Simmons has looked the part of a franchise left tackle.

"I'll probably be saying this every week through the season, but it's his first year, so there are going to be certain things that he hasn't seen before," Reid said, "and he's got to fight through that. But he's a talented kid and he's willing. He wants to do well and he's worked very hard. He's worked very hard to get himself into this position right here to be the starter."

Not just any starter but perhaps the most important starter on the offensive line, one tasked with protecting Mahomes better than it did last season, when it was among the many reasons Kansas City came up short in the Super Bowl.

The 26-year-old defensive end signed a new deal with the Green Bay Packers, and a boy went viral online after his reaction to the news was filmed by his mom

To make things right, Parsons hopped on a FaceTime chat with the young boy

A young boy who burst into tears upon learning that NFL defensive end Micah Parsons was leaving the Dallas Cowboys for the Green Bay Packers got some closure.

Over the weekend, a TikTok shared by a woman named Lesley Zermeno documented the moment that she told her young son Isaac that Parsons was leaving Texas for Green Bay, Wisc.

In the video, Isaac started crying in the car upon hearing the news. The relatable clip amassed more than 4.5 million views and thousands of comments in three days.

"I'm crying with him and I'm 42!" one TikTok user commiserated.

The video also captured the attention of Parsons, who replied by simply writing in the comments, "I'm sorry! 😓"

But the NFL star took it one step further by personally speaking with Isaac to make amends.

In a follow-up video posted on Sunday, Aug. 31, Zermeno revealed that Parsons reached out and scheduled a FaceTime chat with her son.

"I saw that video, I'm sorry, bruh," Parsons told the child, who assured him that it was alright. The player continued, "I hope you know, in life, things happen that you can't control, but you just got to keep going."

He offered to send Isaac a new jersey, jokingly telling him to "get good grades in school" — or else Zermeno would be allowed to keep the gift herself.

Parsons also expressed gratitude for Isaac's fandom, telling him, "Even though you're a big Cowboys fan, I hope that you still follow me and my career, because that's what it's all about. Passionate fans. That just meant a lot to me. I hope you know that."

Zermeno addressed Parsons in the caption of the video, writing, "Thank you so much to Micah & his team 🥹 Isaac was so nervous he couldn't get his words out 🥲💚 💙 this means the world to him!"

The video was another viral sensation, amassing more than 230,000 views.

Fans in the comments section reflected on how Parsons handled the moment, with many praising him.

"Micah is truly a class act," one person wrote, adding that his Facetime with Isaac "is the kind of thing a true professional does." Another echoed that the athlete was impressive, saying that he seemed "like a guy with a good heart."

"Can he send my man a jersey too cause he also cried," one TikToker joked.

Parsons finalized his trade on Thursday, Aug. 28, according to reporting by Sports Illustrated. The new contract is for four years and is worth $188 million.

The 26-year-old's move came after an extended contract renegotiation period with the Cowboys after he joined the team in 2021.

(AP Photo/Jess Rapfogel)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Andrew Alvarez allowed one hit over five innings to become only the second Washington starter in 15 years to win his major league debut, and the Nationals beat the Miami Marlins 2-0 Monday to stop an eight-game losing streak.

A 26-year-old left-hander selected in the 12th round of the 2021 amateur draft, Alvarez allowed his only hit when Victor Mesa Jr. singled to left with one out in the fifth. He struck out four and walked two, throwing 44 of 81 pitches for strikes. Alvarez (1-0) averaged 91.8 mph with 22 fastballs and also threw 27 sliders, 21 curveballs, six sinkers and five changeups.

Alvarez joined Mitchell Parker in 2024 as the only Nationals starters to win their major league debuts since Stephen Strasburg in 2010.

Alvarez and catcher CJ Stubbs were the first batterymates each making their major league debut Pittsburgh's Quinn Preister and Endy Rodriguez on July 17, 2023. They became the first for the Nationals since Shairon Martis and Luke Montz on Sept. 4, 2008, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Four relievers finished a two-hitter, with Jose A. Ferrer working around a walk in the ninth inning for his fifth save in seven chances. Washington relievers have pitched 13 scoreless innings over three games.

Miami was shut out for the eighth time this season but first since July 10.

Daylen Lile hit a run-scoring triple and Andrés Chaparro had a sacrifice fly in a two-run second off Lake Bachar (5-2), who started in a bullpen game.

Key Moment

Miami's Xavier Edwards was ejected five pitches into the game by plate umpire Brennan Miller. Edwards grounded to first leading off after a four-pitch at-bat that included a pair of called strikes, then apparently argued after returning to the dugout and was tossed after the first pitch to Agustín Ramírez.

Key Stat

Alvarez became the first pitcher since the franchise moved to Washington for 2005 to throw at least five scoreless innings in his major league debut.

Up Next

Marlins RHP Adam Mazur (0-1, 5.59) and Nationals Cade Cavalli (1-1, 5.11) start on Tuesday night.

As Micah Parsons gets his start with the Green Bay Packers, his first appearance with the team might be a little bit up in the air. Parsons has been dealing with a L4/L5 facet joint sprain in the vertebrae in his back, per multiple reports, and may need an epidural injection before the Packers' season opener next weekend.

Parsons has reportedly been prescribed an anti-inflammatory to reduce the tightness in his back, and have him on a physical therapy program, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The injury puts his availability for Week 1 into question, as Green Bay hosts the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Prior to be traded to the Packers in a blockbuster deal, the edge rusher had been sidelined through the Dallas Cowboys' preseason, citing a back injury. Despite some speculation that him sitting out of practice may have had more to do with the ongoing contract standoff with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Parsons' injury appears to be real, and may affect his availability for Sunday's game.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers activated reliever Michael Kopech and infielder/outfielder Hyeseong Kim from the injured list on Monday.

Kopech returned after being sidelined for two months with a knee injury. The 29-year-old right-hander made seven rehab appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing seven runs in 5 1/3 innings with five strikeouts and nine walks. He has thrown seven scoreless innings in eight appearances for the Dodgers this season.

Kim has been out since July 29 with left shoulder bursitis. The 26-year-old made nine rehab appearances with Oklahoma City, batting .324 with five runs scored and three RBI. For the Dodgers, he is hitting .304 with two homers and 15 RBI in 58 games.

The Dodgers open a six-game trip Tuesday at Pittsburgh.

Somewhere along my journey from Brooklyn to New Jersey, the subway platforms and train cars became swarmed by people clad in Adidas tracksuits, soccer kits, bucket hats and round sunglasses. We weren't flocking to a Britpop Halloween party. No, the next best thing: the resurrection of Oasis at MetLife Stadium — the first time the Gallagher brothers appeared together anywhere near New York in 17 years.

Oasis announced their reunion more than a year ago, and they had already played 20 shows as part of the Live '25 tour. (I know this because I've been pleasantly inundated with clips from those concerts for the last eight weeks.) But on Sunday night, when Liam and Noel Gallagher strode onstage together, holding hands in triumph, there was a part of me that still couldn't believe my eyes. The brothers turned rivals spent a decade and a half launching verbal rockets at each other — "idiot," "knobhead," "potato" and, quite often, a four-letter word that begins with C. For years, an Oasis reunion seemed impossible. So, the sight of Liam and Noel united, literally, was inspiring.
