(Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Green Bay Packers have added depth to their running back room on Sunday, as they’ve traded for former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson. Johnson, a 23-year-old, was a third-round pick for the Steelers coming out of Iowa last season. Johnson ended up buried on Pittsburgh’s dept chart, though, following the team’s signings of Rico Dowdle and Travis Homer behind starter Jaylen Warren. As a rookie, the former All-American carried the ball just 28 times for 69 yards (2.5 yards per attempt) in the regular season, good for the third-most attempts on the team behind Warren and Kenneth Gainwell. Funny enough, he was actually fourth on the Steelers in rushing yards last year, as tight end Jonnu Smith had nine carri...

2 Winners, 2 Losers from Cowboys final dress rehearsal vs Saints

Image
For a large majority of the roster, the Dallas Cowboys game against the Saints was simply another chance to build momentum heading into the regular season. For others, every snap carried extra weight as the uncertainty of job security hung in the balance. The Cowboys had already put together two strong preseason performances, but one final opportunity remained for players to either solidify their standing or make a late push before the roster is finalized. Against New Orleans, both sides of the Cowboys front lines had their struggles, which placed additional pressure on second-level defenders as well as skill players alike. Somehow, Dallas was able to take the game down to the wire which eventually ended in their first preseason loss. With the games now complete, here are the biggest winners and losers from the Cowboys preseason finale against the Saints. Reading a syndication? For the latest version of this article, click here.

Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . One of the most anticipated sporting events of the summer is back, with the 2026 edition of the Little League World Series set to crown another champion.  Baseball players between 10 and 12 years old representing 20 teams from around the globe are back in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with the winners of the U.S. and International brackets set to face off for the championship on Aug. 30.  There will be no repeat champion this year, as Taiwan didn't make it through the Asia-Pacific region tournament after winning the LLWS title in 2025 and finishing as runner-up in 2024. The U.S. bracket also features 10 new teams from last year, illustrating how difficult it is to navigate the regionals and make it to Williamsport.  Who will claim youth baseball glory...

10 Eagles on the roster bubble: Which camp star could miss the cut?

Image
The Philadelphia Eagles have only a couple more practices and their preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals left before having to finalize their initial 53-man roster. The NFL’s roster cutdown deadline is 6 p.m. Sunday. That’s rapidly approaching for general manager Howie Roseman, coach Nick Sirianni and the Eagles’ decision-makers. With that in mind — and after watching position battles play out all summer — here are 10 Eagles on the roster bubble with the cutdown deadline looming. C/OG Willie Lampkin: Lampkin has been a star this summer. The 5-foot-11 lineman has stood out in practice. He stood out in both preseason games. Jordan Davis called him a “bowling ball with knives.” He deserves to be on the roster. But the reality is, Lampkin was a 2025 undrafted prospect who hasn’t played in a meaningful NFL game. There’s no guarantee Lampkin makes the 53-man roster, even though he should be on it. OG Micah Morris: The sixth-round rookie from Georgia has flashed his movement ski...

Could Las Vegas Raiders use Darien Porter or Hezekiah Masses at nickelback?

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - NOVEMBER 23: Darien Porter #26 of the Las Vegas Raiders warms up prior to an NFL football game against the Cleveland Browns at Allegiant Stadium on November 23, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Brooke Sutton/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Las Vegas Raiders have a problem at the cornerback position during training camp , but it’s a good problem to have… Rookie fifth-round pick Hezekiah Masses has been generating plenty of buzz and is, surprisingly, expected to compete with second-year pro Darien Porter for the starting spot opposite Eric Stokes in free agency. That’s on top of having rookie fourth-rounder Jermod McCoy in the mix, and a solid start to camp from third-year pro Decamerion Richardson. Between Stokes (27), Porter (25), Masses (22), McCoy (21 on Aug. 16) and Richardson (25), the Raiders have a stable of young talent and promising outside cornerbacks on the roster. The problem is only two can be on the field at a time, so the coaching staff will ...
