Whether you have received a legal notice, need to respond to a court-related matter, or must review an important document, delaying professional guidance can create unnecessary complications. In such situations, knowing how to hire a lawyer quickly can make a significant difference. Legal Platform provides a...

The Cincinnati Bengals first offensive selection during the 2026 NFL Draft, Connor Lew, was inactive vs. the Detroit Lions. After tearing his left ACL during October of 2025, the Bengals are being cautious in easing him back into full contact on a regular basis. He has been getting some first- and second-team action in camp, but the next step will be to see if he plays in one of the final two preseason games.Colbie Young was also a fourth-round draft selection for the Bengals. He has made quite the impression so far during camp. That continued with a couple of catches versus Detroit. He finished the game with two receptions for 28 yards. He could have had a third catch, but it was knocked away on a contested catch opportunity. Young could push Andrei Iosivas for snaps at the third receiver position throughout the season. His size, strength in his hands, and ability to generally win those contested catch situations are all standout traits.Brian Parker II was a sixth-round draft selection for the Bengals this year. He played mostly right tackle during his time at Duke. For the Bengals, he has moved almost exclusively to the interior so far in camp. The majority of his snaps against the Lions came at left guard, with a handful at center late in the game. I thought Parker looked really good, especially in pass protection. He has such a calm presence for a young lineman. He doesnt panic, and he trusts his technique. He also has the athleticism to recover when it is needed.Brian Parker played mostly left guard last night, with some late playing time at center. It wouldnt surprise me if he gets snaps at a couple other spots this preseason. pic.twitter.com/2kPf4auhLZ Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) August 14, 2026Jack Endries showed up in the first preseason game after having a rather quiet camp beforehand. He finished the game with three catches for 25 yards. He also caught the Bengals lone touchdown of the game from Joe Flacco. Endries has been working on his blocking, both at Texas and now with the Bengals. While there is still work to be done, he has the chance to become a solid all-around tight end for this team.Jack Endries with the strong debut. Tight End continues to be one of the more interesting roster battles. I am finding a way to keep Endries in any scenario. pic.twitter.com/aH4zxYUZBR Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) August 16, 2026I will toss in one more rookie performance, this one coming from an undrafted free agent. While only playing in nine snaps during the first preseason game, Corey Robinson II made the most of it. He looked athletic and played through the whistle. For an offensive lineman, that is exactly what you want to see out there. Robinson is likely a practice squad candidate to start the season, but certainly a player who may stick around if he continues to develop.Corey Robinson II looked good in limited snaps on Thursday against the Lions. pic.twitter.com/yqgjkVGUXz Bengals & Brews (@BengalsBrews) August 16, 2026

With 12 days remaining before the Philadelphia Cycling Classic, former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and former first lady Lisa Nutter are cheering on the return of a race they say is an important part of the city's cycling culture.The couple recently spoke about their involvement in bringing the event back and about their own connection to the sport, which extends beyond advocacy and into competition.While Lisa Nutter is known as a supporter of cycling, she is also a competitive athlete who competes in indoor track cycling races.Michael Nutter noted her accomplishments on the track: "Four-time national champion in track cycling. Two different age groups.""For me, the competition is in the velodrome," Lisa Nutter said, explaining the lightning-fast sport. "I'm a sprinter so our races are seconds long."Michael Nutter said he remains one of his wife's biggest supporters."I video all of her races," he said.When asked whether he yells during the recordings, Lisa Nutter says, "He can narrate (saying) go baby, go-head baby. Go, now!"The couple is now focused on the return of the Philadelphia Cycling Classic, a race that once ran through Philadelphia's streets before ending in 2016."(It was) sad, quite honestly," Michael Nutter said of the event's disappearance after a lack of corporate sponsorship.According to the Nutters, the effort to revive the race began when Philadelphia resident and former pro cyclist Carlos Rodgers approached Lisa Nutter with the idea of bringing it back after a 10-year hiatus."(He wanted) me to then connect him to Michael, and he was like, you know, I think this is a good time to reboot the race," Lisa Nutter said.Michael Nutter highlighted the event's international reach."Two teams, ten countries represented," the former mayor said.The race features a 14.4-mile course. Male competitors will complete eight laps, while female competitors will complete four."It's a shorter race, which means it's a faster-paced race; it is a different race. That doesn't make it less hard," Lisa Nutter said.The former first lady was also the person who openly questioned why male and female competitors in the race had different prize money amounts, with the males' prize larger than the females' prize.Michael Nutter said that changed during his administration."Our race became one of the first international races that required what we call purse pairing. That the male and female riders. The big purses were the same," he said.Lisa Nutter said she began cycling after suffering knee injuries while running and believes the sport offers long-term benefits."Something you can do long into life," she said.The Philadelphia Cycling Classic is scheduled for August 30 and is expected to attract thousands of spectators. Lisa Nutter is serving as a co-chair of the event.Lisa Nutter has ridden the course recreationally and said many European racers appreciate it because it reminds them of cycling in Europe.The race begins and ends on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.Michael Nutter said the Philadelphia Cycling Classic reflects the city's identity and gets spectators up close to the athletes as they ride the course.Nutter says he and his wife's push to have the race return is an extension of their years of public service to the city."(It's) part of this larger thing called the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection and this is our town," he said.

Former Willamette High School standout Tony Cumberland continues to recover from undisclosed injuries he sustained in a car accident in late March.The Oregon football freshman defensive tackle isnt practicing with the Ducks during fall camp. He also missed the spring practice season in April."It's a work in progress with him," Oregon defensive line coach Tony Tuioti said Aug. 17. "I don't think it's going to be anything that we'll be able to see him soon. But he's made so much progress. I think the thing that's most important is that we have him with us and just having him in the room brings a smile to all our faces."The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Cumberland was the No. 1 recruit in the state last season and a top-100 national recruit according to the 247sports.com composite rankings. As a senior with the Wolverines in 2025, Cumberland had 102 tackles, 14 sacks and 26 tackles for a loss of yards.Tuioti didnt put a time table on Cumberlands possible return, but said he continues to inspire his teammates despite not being able to join them on the field."When our guys think about camp and camp is really, really hard, all they gotta do is just look at Tony Cumberland," Tuioti said. "And just know that, 'Hey man, I'm all right, and I'm gonna work really, really hard for him because I want to make him proud.' If he had the opportunity to practice, he'd definitely do it too. So, just love him. Just love the progress that he's made so far, and just really glad he's here with us."Chris Hansen covers University of Oregon football, mens basketball, track and field, cross country and softball for The Register-Guard.

Six years ago, it appeared that the Steelers had found a keeper in second-round receiver Chase Claypool.Now, Claypool continues to look for a path back to an NFL roster.Claypool, who hasn't played in an NFL game since 2023, had a tryout on Tuesday with the Saints, per multiple reports. Veteran receiver Josh Reynolds, a nine-year veteran who played for the Jets in 2025, also tried out for New Orleans.The Saints recently lost first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson to a hamstring injury. He's expected to miss two months.Claypool scored 11 touchdowns as a rookie in Pittsburgh. By 2022, the Steelers had decided to move on, recouping their second-round pick (which ended up being the first pick in round two) from the Bears. During the 2023 season, the Bears traded Claypool to the Dolphins for a swap of sixth- and seventh-round picks.An injury in 2024 derailed an opportunity with the Bills before the season started. He has not been on a roster since then.Reynolds, a fourth-round pick of the Rams in 2017, has also played for the Titans, Lions, Broncos, and Jaguars.

(Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images)LAKE FOREST, Ill. Not that anyone is counting. But the Bears have 27 days to figure out who their starting left tackle is for their season opener against the Carolina Panthers, if you count Tuesdays practice at Halas Hall.As far as Im concerned, the competition remains wide open and well continue to play that one out, coach Ben Johnson said beforehand.Heres how the competition played out on Tuesday:Braxton Jones started with the first team, which Johnson said would happen.Jedrick Wills Jr. still played with the 2s.But the newest wrinkle came during the final period. As teased by Johnson, Theo Benedet replaced Jones with the starters during a 20-minute team period that closed practice.Kiran Amegadjie left practice with head trainer Andre Tucker.Before practice, Johnson also said that Wills and Amegadjie would start to work at right tackle. Give them a chance, he said. But that didnt happen on Tuesday.The Bears could gain some clarity on the competition this week and next with joint practices and preseason games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans.What is very clear, though, is that no one has seized the job despite playing next to All-Pro guard Joe Thuney.I think Joe would like some clarity on who he can build a rapport with, Johnson said. Its been a little bit of a revolving door. Hes a pros pro and hes willing to do everything, but you want five guys playing as one. So well go as long as we need to figure out who those five are, but at the same time, the sooner we can make that decision the sooner they can gel as a unit as well.You saw it last year. It took us through the bye week before we really started clicking a little bit as an offensive line and the run game coming alive the way we wanted it to. I think (Thuneys) doing a great job right now. The communications a huge piece of it. With Garrett (Bradbury) at center, I dont have a whole lot of concern from the communication piece and yet the sooner we can be on the same page without even saying anything the better off were going to be.Ozzy Trapilo is not part of the competition quite yet. Trapilo (knee surgery in January) was activated from the PUP list on Sunday.Hes got his own timeline right now, Johnson said.Trapilo was in full pads but didnt participate in any team periods on Tuesday.Obviously, physically we feel really good about where hes at or else we wouldnt have brought him off PUP, Johnson said. Now, its a race to see how quickly we can rebuild the confidence. So, its going to look different for him than it is anybody else just in terms of how we continue to integrate him into drills, team drills, things like that. But we felt like this was a good opportunity for the next course of training camp for the padded practices that were going to have that gives him a chance to start building that confidence back up again.Whats up with Spider-Man?After the Bears preseason win against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, Johnson was asked whether nickel back Kyler Gordon had a timeline for his return from a calf injury. Unknown, he replied.Two days later, nothing changed.Theres nothing to add right now, Johnson said.Has he had any interaction with him?Yeah, I see him in the building, Johnson said.Is Gordon progressing with his injury?Yup, Johnson said. Theres a plan and hes working toward the plan.What is Gordon doing right now?Hes rehabbing, Johnson said.This, that and some moreReceiver Luther Burden III remained sidelined by his groin injury. He went through a light routine with trainers before the Browns game on Saturday but his energy is missed in camp at Halas Hall.The excitement that (Burden) brings to the game, receiver Rome Odunze said Tuesday, trying to choke people out, all that. We definitely miss Lu out there. I know his recovery is going well so excited to get him back out there.Running back Kyle Monangai is considered week-to-week with his knee injury, according to Johnson.Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent didnt practice. He suffered a hamstring injury against the Browns. His status for the Bears second preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals is in doubt.New defensive end Marcus Davenport, signed on Monday, didnt practice. He was assigned No. 52.Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson and nickel back/special-teamer Jaylon Jones didnt practice with their undisclosed injuries.Safety Xavier Woods (groin) returned to practice and played the final team period with the starting defense.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 06: Payton Talbott of the United States looks on before a bantamweight fight at T-Mobile Arena on December 06, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ian Maule/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesHes back!Top Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight prospect Payton Talbottfinally returns to action against former Flyweight kingpinDeiveson Figueiredo at UFC 332, which goes down in less than two months on Sat., Oct. 3, 2026, inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.Talbott was last in action in Dec. 2025, when he retired former champ-champHenry Cejudo in what was easily the biggest victory of his young career.Then, instead of capitalizing on that breakout performance poof! He vanished.So, where did he go?Ive just been doing me, but Ive been training a lot and doing the same old thingsmusic, travel, Talbott recently told reporters during a media scrum. But, yeah, I just took a step back from sharing. You know, youve got to keep really important things inside of yourself, or else you could potentially lose them. So, yeah, just detoxing for a second.Although Talbott stepped away from the media and public eye, the 27-year-old never wanted to take a break from competing.Ive been waiting for the better part of a year, Talbott said. Ive been spoken to about a bunch of fights, but I guess people have had better plans, or I dont know how it all works. If I dont fight before the end of the year, I dont know what will happen with my sanity.I havent wanted to take a step back from fighting at alljust from sharing things with the media, he continued. But Ive heard fighters have had injuries, dates dont line up. I guess I just got stuck being patient because of the position Im in.Before defeating Cejudo, Talbott told MMAmania.com that he was not worried about struggling to find willing opponents once he entered the rankings.Unfortunately, that concern has now become a reality.Ive always wanted to fight up, but I understand the guys in the Top 10its quite risky if they lose, Talbott said. Most people are going to say no to fighting me, and they dont have much to gain by beating me.But at the same time, there are only so many of us, so what else am I supposed to do? he continued. I wasnt offered anyone below meand I havent said no yetand because of that, I have a loss on my record.That lone defeat came against Raoni Barcelos, whom Talbott accepted despite having little to gain in the rankings. The Brazilian veteran pulled off the massive upset via unanimous decision at UFC 311.Thankfully, Talbott finally has another opponent 10 months after his victory over Cejudoand it is a big one for him.Figueiredo is a former UFC champion and currently sits at No. 11 in the Bantamweight rankings, giving Talbott an opportunity to make up for lost time and officially break into the Top 15.To checkout UFCs upcoming schedule of events click here.

Fred Warner is back on the field for the San Francisco 49ers, and he says the defense will look different than the one that took the field without him last season.Warner missed most of last year with a fractured and dislocated ankle, and San Francisco's defense fell from a top-10 unit in yards allowed to 20th in his absence. With Warner back and new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris San Francisco's fifth coordinator in five years installing his scheme, Warner previewed a defense built around more disguise and more moving pieces up front."Being more multiple and different sort of sets personnel-wise that we're bringing out," Warner told Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein. "We have some more versatility with guys being able to play on the line of scrimmage, off of the ball. Obviously we've always brought a nickel to play on the field, but having an ability to have an extra D lineman, an extra backer or something like that."It'll kind of be a different look for offenses from what they're accustomed to seeing from us."This tracks similarly to what 49ers cornerback Upton Stout said about Morris' defensive philosophy. The second-year defensive back noted that Morris lets everyone play fast and not worry too much about what they can or cannot do.With a new coordinator, a new scheme wrinkle set and a healthy Warner running the show, San Francisco's defense enters the season with a different look than the one that took the field a year ago. Not only will the coordinator look different, but the team added some new players to the defensive line, such as Osa Odighizuwa and rookies Romello Height and Gracen Halton.This article originally appeared on Niners Wire: Fred Warner explains unique advantage 49ers defense will have in 2026

With rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson out of action through ass much as two months, the New Orleans Saints are beginning to look at their options for weathering the storm. On Tuesday, the Saints reported two tryouts on the daily NFL transactions wire: veteran wideouts Chase Claypool and Josh Reynolds. Neither of them has signed, yet, but they're clearly on the team's radar.Claypool, 28, was a second-round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2020 but was traded to the Chicago Bears just a few years later. That proved to be a tumultuous experience and he was benched for multiple games before being traded to the Miami Dolphins, where he caught his last pass in 2023. Claypool suffered a season-ending injury in the 2024 offseason after signing with the Buffalo Bills and was out of football in 2025. He tried out for the Green Bay Packers this spring but wasn't signed. Most of the 175 catches, 2,261 yards, and 13 touchdowns in his career came during his first three years in Pittsburgh, a span of 39 games. He's only caught 22 passes for 217 yards and a single touchdown in the 19 games that followed.Reynolds, 31, was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams back in 2017 after setting Texas A&M's school record for touchdown catches in a single season (13). He briefly played for the Tennessee Titans before reuniting with his old quarterback Jared Goff on the Detroit Lions for three seasons. Since then he's dressed for the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, and most recently played for the New York Jets in 2025, but his season was cut short by a hip injury. He's totaled 244 receptions for 3,228 yards and 20 touchdowns over his 121-game career.This article originally appeared on Saints Wire: Saints work out free agent wide receivers after Jordyn Tyson injury
