Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Rutgers football program entered the early part of the 2026 season seeking answers after suffering back-to-back non-conference losses. This challenging start was exacerbated by poor offensive performances and an undisclosed injury to starting quarterback Dylan Lonergan . He injured himself late in the Week 1 upset against UMass and missed the subsequent loss to Boston College, during which AJ Surace filled in as quarterback. As the Scarlet Knights prepared to kick off their Big Ten season against the 12th-ranked USC Trojans, speculation about who would lead the offense was rampant. In a timely update just before kickoff, insider Pete Nakos reported on X that Lonergan has been cleared to return from his injury and will start against No. 12 USC, according to sources.

Raiders expected to start rookie at cornerback Week 2 vs Chargers

-
The Raiders will be without starting left cornerback Darien Porter with a foot injury as they head to Los Angeles to face the Chargers this week. The second-year corner suffered a foot injury in the team's season opener against the Dolphins and after missing all week of practices, head coach Klint Kubiak announced Porter will be ruled OUT. Kubiak brought up the two rookie cornerbacks Jermod McCoy and Hezekiah Masses as being the two options to replace Porter in his starting role. He would not name a starter, saying only that "We'll see" which will get the nod. It was the sixth rounder Masses who came into the game late against the Dolphins when Porter suffered the injury. McCoy was selected at the top of the fourth round, but has been eased along due to having not played in a game since late in the 2024 season. His long term prospects are high, but the Raiders want to make sure he is ready before putting him in. Either way, the Raiders are expected to have a rookie ...

Brent Burns' new hair cut makes him look normal and we hate it

-
Long-time NHL veteran Brent Burns is a hockey fan favorite for multiple reasons, but one stands out among the rest as to why he's so beloved: his beard. Hockey players are no stranger to beards around playoff time, but one of Burns' lasting legacies in hockey outside of his play is his majestic mountain man beard. Ahead of the 2026-27 season, however, Burns has committed to a new look and it is so incredibly jarring. On Wednesday during a session with the media, DNVR reporter Bailey Curtis posted a photo of Burns sporting a fresh hair cut ahead of Colorado Avalanche training camp. In the photo, Burns' iconic full beard is gone and instead, the 41-year-old defenseman now has a closer shaved beard and a fresh hair cut on top that makes him look 10 years younger and nearly unrecognizable. Fresh look for Brent Burns heading into this season 👀 pic.twitter.com/Tkrp11ySvh — Bailey Curtis (@baileyycurtis) September 16, 2026 That is quite the departure from the Burns we've all...

Fernando Alonso Calls Out ‘Very Bad’ Honda Engine After Madrid Struggles

-
Fernando Alonso says the Honda power unit in the F1 Spanish GP was very bad, and it couldn’t recover due to the slowing he had to do for blue flags. On the weekend where his future was a hot topic, Aston Martin ’s Alonso noted that the Honda power unit was very bad during the F1 Spanish GP race at Madring. He felt it couldn’t recover from all the slowing that he had to do under blue flags. Honda brought its first update under ADUO in Zandvoort, and since then they have been chipping along with a few bits. However, they haven’t made a drastic step on the performance side, as they are still behind in the pecking order, while highlighting that the chassis is a solid midfield runner. With FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem hinting at helping Aston Martin and Honda for Alonso to stay, the F1 Spanish GP comments don’t help the cause. The Japanese manufacturer recently announced a shuffle in its power unit management in the hope of quicker success. Alonso Says Honda Engine Was Very Bad in ...

England legend rips into “pathetic” Bruno Fernandes after Manchester derby incident

England legend rips into “pathetic” Bruno Fernandes after Manchester derby incident 1 Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer didn’t mince his words as he slammed Bruno Fernandes for his role in Phil Foden’s sending-off. Heated moment Foden was given his marching orders by referee Michael Oliver in the 23rd minute after he was judged to have kicked out at Fernandes. The United skipper floored Foden and provoked a kick in return, with Fernandes then writhing on the ground. Foden and his City teammates passionately protested but it fell on deaf ears. It didn’t matter too much at the end for City as they scored a controversial goal in the 60th minute to condemn Michael Carrick and his players to a second loss of the 2026/27 Premier League season. VAR intervened to ratify Erling Haaland’s strike despite clear evidence that Enzo Fernandez, who was in an offside position, had made an attempt to head the ball. Speaking after the final whistle, City boss Enzo Maresca admitted that Foden...

Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez (L) and Manchester City's Erling Haaland battle for the ball during the English Premier League soccer match between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford. (is associated with: «'Unacceptable' – Utd's MartĂ­nez hits out at VAR call on Haaland goal») Peter Byrne/PA Wire/dpa Manchester United defender Lisandro MartĂ­nez described the decision to allow Manchester City’s derby-day winner as “unacceptable.” Erling Haaland’s strike on the hour mark was initially disallowed for offside, only for a VAR check to overturn the on-field decision. The Premier League Match Centre said the VAR “determined that Haaland was in an onside position” and deemed that “while in an offside position, (Enzo) Fernandez didn’t play the ball.” Enzo Maresca’s City, who were at a numerical disadvantage from the 23rd minute when Phil Foden was sent off for kicking out at Bruno Fernandes, held on to take all three points away from Old Trafford with...
