Browns place Deshaun Watson on PUP among list of roster moves
Ahead of the start of camp, the Browns have officially made a handful of roster moves. The headliner of these moves was the placement of Watson on the Physically Unable to Perform list. This means that by the time cutdowns happen, the Browns will likely expect Watson to miss at least the first four games of the season after re-tearing his ACL this offseason.
And in all honesty, four games is an incredibly quick expectation as we may never see Watson in a Browns uniform again.
Watson was not the only player placed on Physically Unable to Perform, however. Second-year defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. was also placed on the list as he continues to recover from offseason knee surgery. Wide receiver David Bell was placed on the non-football injury list as he continues to recover from a hip injury that ended his 2024 season.
Finally, the Browns released former Ohio State wide receiver and Cleveland native Jaelen Gill with a non-football injury designation.
This also means the Browns have a roster spot to continue to play around with as well. We'll see how this plays out as training camp begins.

Angel City welcomes infusion of talent with hope of netting more wins
Ever since she visited Los Angeles with her national team three years ago, Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir knew she wanted to play in the National Women's Soccer League one day. When the opportunity to play for Angel City presented itself, Jónsdóttir was eager to join the league and play for new Angel City coach Alexander Straus. 'When Angel City came up, I was just really excited about it,' she said. 'I know Alex. I played against him when he was at Bayern and so I knew he was a great coach.' Three new players have joined Angel City (4-3-6) during the past few months, delivering an infusion talent for a team that sits in 11th place in the 14-team NWSL standings. The league's top eight teams advance to the playoffs. Jónsdóttir, a forward with Icelandic national team experience, signed with Angel City on May 21. After finishing her stint with Frauen-Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg, Jónsdóttir joined her first Angel City practice on Tuesday afternoon. Midfielder Evelyn Shores, who most recently played for the University of North Carolina, signed with Angel City on July 10. She has played for the U-23 U.S. women's national team. Goalkeeper Hannah Seabert, who was Sporting Clube de Portugal's captain earlier this year, signed with Angel City on May 30 and has been training with the team for three weeks. Seabert, a Riverside native and Pepperdine alum, spent most of her career playing abroad and wanted to return to the United States. 'As soon as Angel City opened up several years back, I just knew it was a team I wanted to be a part of,' she said of the franchise that began play in 2023. When Seabert's contract with Sporting CP expired, she pursued her goal of joining Angel City. 'When I came and visited here a couple weeks ago, it felt like a home away from home,' she said. 'The facilities are amazing and the girls were so welcoming. It just felt right when I came here.' Angel City sporting director Mark Parsons said the new players earned contracts because they aligned with the vision for the future of the club: winning. 'Who are the players that we believe represent where we're going and can play for Angel City when we're fighting for trophies,' Parsons said, referring to the question Angel City leaders asked before signing any new players. While the new players present an infusion of fresh talent, Angel City also is benefiting from the return of a familiar face. Forward Jun Endo, who tore her ACL in February 2024, played for the first time in 18 months during a friendly against Bay FC on Saturday. Endo was on the pitch for 30 minutes and scored the only goal of the game. 'If you're missing a player like Jun Endo for as much time as Angel City has been missing her, of course it affects [the game] because you cannot replace a player like that,' said Straus, the team's coach. Straus said he expects Angel City to evolve and move closer to achieving its long-term championship goals with the new signees and Endo available to play. Angel City, which is in the midst of an international break, plays a friendly Saturday against Carolina Ascent FC and resumes NWSL competition on Aug. 1 at Seattle Reign FC. 'Its not just about filling a roster,' Straus said. 'We need quality. We need people who can make a difference for us and so we hope they will do this for us. 'We will be good now, but we will be better in January.'

How Ryan Day views Ohio State football's quarterback competition ahead of preseason camp
LAS VEGAS — Ohio State football coach Ryan Day continues to see the Buckeyes' starting quarterback competition between Lincoln Kienholz and Julian Sayin as neck and neck. During his opening address at Big Ten media days on July 22, Day said the passers had impressed the wide receivers they threw to this summer with their leadership. 'I ask those guys all the time,' Day said, 'and they like both of them.' Following the end of spring practice, Day described the high-profile position battle to replace Will Howard as a tight two-man race between Kienholz and Sayin, and ahead of preseason training camp, which begins on July 31, Day said, 'It'll be a fierce competition to see who the starter is.' Both have spent at least a year with the program, while Tavien St. Clair is a freshman who enrolled in January. Despite their experience with the Buckeyes, neither Kienholz, a redshirt sophomore, nor Sayin, a redshirt freshman, has seen significant snaps in a game. The most extensive time behind center was for Kienholz in the Cotton Bowl in 2023 when he replaced Devin Brown due to his ankle sprain. Kienholz, then only a freshman, completed six of 17 passes for 86 yards. He did not attempt a pass last season. Sayin, who transferred to Ohio State from Alabama last year, complete five of 12 passes for 84 yards while in mop-up duty as the Buckeyes' third-string quarterback in 2024. 'We're going to put them in as many competitive situations as we possibly can (this preseason) to figure out who handles that the best,' Day said, 'because we have to be on point in Week 1. We can't be messing around.' Day didn't need to mention the Buckeyes' opening opponent. Texas visits Ohio Stadium Aug. 30 in one of the most anticipated matchups of the upcoming season.
