Virat Kohli paid tribute to Ajinkya Rahane after the former India batter announced his retirement from international cricket, describing him as his "favourite Test batting partner" and "the safest pair of hands in slips."In an Instagram post, Kohli shared a picture of himself with Rahane in India's Test whites and praised his long contribution to Indian cricket."Jinks, congratulations on a great career, buddy. You've done wonders for Indian cricket, and you can be very proud of your journey. The safest pair of hands in the slips and my favourite Test batting partner. Wishing you well always. God bless," Kohli posted.On Thursday, Rahane announced his retirement from international cricket and all formats through an emotional video shared on Instagram, bringing the curtain down on a career spanning nearly two decades.In Tests, Rahane played 85 matches and 144 innings, scoring 5,077 runs, including 12 centuries and 26 fifties, at an average of 38.46 and a strike rate of 49.50.In ODIs, he featured in 90 matches and 87 innings, scoring 2,962 runs, with three centuries and 24 fifties, at an average of 35.26 and a strike rate of 78.63.In T20Is, he played 20 matches, scoring 375 runs, with no centuries and one fifty, at an average of 20.83 and a strike rate of 113.29.Rahane also finished with an unbeaten record as India's Test captain. He led the team in six Tests, recording four wins and two draws, giving him the highest win percentage among Indian Test captains who have led the side in at least five matches.His captaincy included the comeback win in Melbourne and India's series-clinching victory at the Gabba during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where India defeated Australia 2-1 and ended Australia's long unbeaten run at the venue.Rahane also captained India to a Test victory over Australia in Dharamshala in 2017.

Kyren Williams dons the Q-Collar in an advertisementLOS ANGELES Kyren Williams spends his Sundays reading blocks, finding cutback lanes and, inevitably, taking hits. Lots of them.So the Rams running back is adding a layer of protection this season not for his knees or ribs, but for his brain.Williams joined Q-Collar as an official ambassador on Thursday, becoming the latest NFL player to wear the company's FDA-cleared neck device. The collar applies light pressure to the jugular vein, increasing blood volume in the skull and limiting the brain's slosh during head impacts.The science, according to the company, is significant. Twenty-five peer-reviewed studies back the technology, and Q30 Innovations says the collar shows a 66 percent reduction in the likelihood of brain damage over a contact-sports season.For a running back entering his fifth year, that math hits close to home.Courtesy of Q-Collar"The goal as a running back is to evade contact, but we all know that's not entirely possible," Williams said. "Q-Collar allows me to play fast and strong when hitting holes and acts as an added layer of protection for my brain health and safety as I get hit throughout the season."Williams isn't a fringe player testing out new gadgets. He has rushed for more than 1,100 yards in each of the last three seasons, scoring 44 touchdowns over that span for a Rams offense that led the league in scoring in 2025.Tom Hoey, CEO and co-founder of Q30 Innovations, said Williams embodied the blend of performance and preparation the company looks for in its partners."As conversations around brain health continue to evolve across sports, athletes like Kyren are helping lead the way by showing that protecting your future and maximizing your performance are not competing priorities," Hoey said. "They go hand in hand."Dr. Julian Bailes, the company's chief medical advisor and a chair of neurosurgery at Endeavor Health, has spent decades studying head trauma. He views the collar as a cultural shift as much as a medical one."Protecting the brain should be viewed as an essential part of athletic preparation and longevity, just like strength training, conditioning and recovery," Bailes said. "The future of sports depends not only on helping athletes perform at their best, but on helping them stay healthy long after their playing careers have ended."The St. Louis native and former Notre Dame back joins a growing list of Q-Collar athletes that includes Indianapolis cornerback Sauce Gardner, Buffalo tight end Dalton Kincaid and Titans running back Tony Pollard, along with a handful of college stars.The device has been FDA-authorized since February 2021 and launched in the U.S. later that year. It is now worn across football, lacrosse, soccer, winter sports and by members of the armed forces.Williams will wear the collar during practices and games this fall, and he'll also appear in marketing campaigns promoting brain health.For a player who has built a career on running through tackles, the collar offers something the stat sheet doesn't track. A future.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Reid DetmersThe Chicago Cubs need starting pitching at the trade deadline, and Reid Detmers could be a solid fit.The Los Angeles Angels are expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, and Detmers is a player who could draw plenty of interest. He has had an up-and-down career so far and was a reliever last season. However, this year, he is back in the starting rotation and has had solid results.He has a 4.03 ERA, but a couple of blowup starts have really inflated his numbers. Overall, he has been a solid arm and is under club control for two more seasons. He has a 1.65 ERA in three starts since the start of the second half. The Cubs recently designated Jameson Taillon for assignment and have Edward Cabrera and Ben Brown on the injured list. Cade Horton is out for the year, and by the time Justion Steele is ready to pitch, it may be too late to build him up as a starter.Detmers' breaking run value is the best in baseball, and his strikeout rate sits at 28.3%. He is not going to cost as much as a player like Tarik Skubal, and could really help the Cubs get into October and make a run.Looking for the perfect gift for a baseball player in your life? Check out our brand new baseball lifestyle brand!Right now, the Cubs are a wild card team, looking to hawk down the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central. Adding Detmers would give them a rotation that features him, Cabrera, Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga in the postseason.Then next season, they would add Horton to the mix. Overall, Detmers is the kind of player the Cubs could target without having to give up a haul. They can probably make the postseason without him, but he surely improves their odds of making a run.More MLB:Mets Reportedly Not Discussing Extension With Coveted Trade Candidate

NASCAR Cup points leader Denny Hamlin is fully aware of the complaints about dull racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He says it's time for NASCAR to point at itself for the issue.The 45-year-old Cup veteran who finished fifth in the 2026 Brickyard 400 discussed the issue on the "Daily Downforce" podcast, complimenting IMS president J. Douglas Boles and the estimated 70,000 fans who attended the race."It's historic," Hamlin said of the venue. " We don't need to be (expletive) complaining about being on the oval."Cup cars raced on the 2.5-mile oval from 1994-2020, then moved to the 2.4-mile, 14-turn road course for three years before returning to the oval in 2024.Hamlin then pointed to what he considers the problem."This is a car problem, not an Indy problem," Hamlin said. "Yes, passing at Indy has been difficult for decades, but it ain't been impossible."Now it is impossible (without a driver making a big tactical mistake)."Hamlin said he wants drivers and NASCAR's competition committee to come up with an Indy-specific package, suggesting rear spoiler and underbody adjustments."We've got nothing to lose, truthfully," he said.In 18 Brickyard 400 starts, Hamlin has placed third on four occasions, most recently in 2025.The Brickyard 400 discussion begins about 6 minutes in:Zion Brownis IndyStar's motorsports reporter.

Defense may have evolved over the years, but one principle has never changed: the front and the secondary depend on one another. That's a belief new safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has carried throughout his career, and it's one he shared after his first New York Jets training camp practice."I'm a DB, and I'm not ashamed to say that it starts with the guys up front," Fitzpatrick told reporters."I'm a DB and I'm not ashamed to say that it starts with the guys up front" pic.twitter.com/4oh3iOScr5 New York Jets (@nyjets) July 29, 2026It's a simple message, but an important one. The Jets spent the offseason looking to create a more disruptive defense after struggling to consistently affect opposing quarterbacks and generate takeaways in 2025. The goal is straightforward. Improve the pass rush. Tighten coverage on the back end and allow each level of the defense to make the other better.Head coach Aaron Glenn has already begun putting that plan into motion.Speaking with reporters after practice, Glenn said there were "a number of things this offseason" he wanted to improve upon and expressed excitement about implementing those changes during his second season leading the Jets.For more of Coach Glenn's comments, see the attached clip below:Aaron Glenn says there were "a number of things this offseason" that he wanted to improve upon and that he's excited to implement those things in his second year as head coach of the Jets pic.twitter.com/WxlYzu0WQt SNY Jets (@snyjets) July 29, 2026Championship defenses are rarely built by one position group alone. If the Jets' defensive line creates consistent pressure and the secondary capitalizes on hurried throws, Fitzpatrick's philosophy could become the blueprint for the turnaround New York has been chasing.This article originally appeared on Jets Wire: Minkah Fitzpatrick shares his theory on where winning defense begins

Concacaf has rejected a controversial FIFA proposalto bring in private investment, dealing another major blow to the deal following UEFA's boycott announcement earlier in the day.The governing body of North American, Central American and Caribbean soccer convened a meeting of the presidents of its 41 member associations on Thursday, July 30.After the meeting, Concacaf released a statement that confirmed it would not support the proposal, citing the rushed process behind its release earlier this week."During the meeting, the membership expressed deep concerns about the lack of due process surrounding the proposal, the artificially short deadline imposed, and the absence of any review or approval by the relevant FIFA governance bodies," Concacaf said."In addition, the need for private equity investment to fund new and existing FIFA Forward programs following the most profitable FIFA World Cup in history was questioned."The discussion reinforced the need for greater transparency and proper governance. For these reasons,Concacaf and its 41 member associations have rejected the proposal."Concacaf did not go as far as UEFA, which announced earlier in the day that its 55 member associations will boycott all FIFA competitions, including World Cups, until the proposal is killed.Still, the announcement was another sign that the proposal may be doomed without major changes.The plan needs a simple majority of FIFA's 211 member associations to pass. But with UEFA and Concacaf's members out, there are already 96 votes in opposition.In the meantime, an official decision from Africa, Asia, South America and Oceania has not yet been announced.What is FIFA's private investment proposal?The proposal would see FIFA create a subsidiary called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE).FFE would control much of FIFA's most lucrative enterprises for its tournaments, including the World Cup. FFE would run commercial and event operations, including broadcast, sponsorship, ticketing and licensing deals.In order to cash in on the value of the new subsidiary, FIFA is looking to bring in outside investors for the first time in the organization's history.FIFA has said its goal is to initially raise $4.2 billion for FFE, which would be based on a $20 billion valuation.The proposal has been hugely controversial, with UEFA outlining many of the objections in its statement on Thursday."The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever," the European governing body said."Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders."This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Concacaf rejects FIFA private investment proposal in another major blow
