On Tuesday afternoon, Adam Schefter broke the news that Chicago’s Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman informed the team that he was retiring before the 2026 season after only a single year in Chicago despite having two years remaining on his contract. ESPN sources: Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman has informed the team that he is retiring from the NFL at age 27. Dalman left Stanford in 2021, and after four seasons in Atlanta and one in Chicago, he has made the sudden and surprising decision to retire. pic.twitter.com/SKJcXa1res — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 3, 2026 After years of struggling to build a complete offensive line, 2025 finally saw the Chicago Bears with multiple highly capable starters. For the first time in a long time, there was a complete unit with amixture of veterans and young talent (Dalman, perennial All-Pro Joe Thuney, and rising Darnell Wright among them). It looked as if those problems were finally behind the Bears. However, with left tackle Ozzy Trapilo...

Serie A | Torino 2-0 Lazio: Ideal D’Aversa debut adds to Sarri woe Roberto D’Aversa made the ideal debut on the Torino bench, securing a 2-0 victory over troubled Lazio with Giovanni Simeone and Duvan Zapata goals. The Granata sacked ex-Lazio boss Marco Baroni this week after scraping one win and one draw in eight Serie A rounds. Emirhan Ilkhan was suspended after his red card against Genoa, with Che Adams not fully fit and Zanos Savva injured. The Aquile had one win in six rounds, but were preparing for Wednesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Atalanta. Daniel Maldini, Pedro, Elseid Hysaj, Toma Basic, Nicolò Rovella, Samuel Gigot and Mario Gila missed the trip. See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Michigan football: Rayshaun Benny on new coach Kyle Whittingham, staff changes

Michigan football has had a few changes of the guard in recent years, first with Jim Harbaugh departing Ann Arbor for the NFL, and then with Sherrone Moore being fired in mid-December last year. Now, it's the Kyle Whittingham show, after the tenured head coach spent decades at Utah, building upon Urban Meyer's foundation to make the Utes one of the best programs in the country. For outgoing players like Rayshaun Benny, it's interesting, to say the least, to see so many changes in the program. Speaking with reporters at the NFL scouting combine, Benny doesn't know Whittingham, but with what he knows of him, he's sure that he will lead the Wolverines back to glory after a few years in the proverbial wilderness. "I don't really know," Benny said. "I was about to say I got full faith in him. I know Utah wasn't a historically good football program, but I know he was able to accomplish that. I believe he'll have more success at Michigan....
