Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy placed in concussion protocol
The move comes one day after Worthy banged his head while vying for a deep pass in practice.
Worthy will have to clear the protocol before returning to training camp. The Chiefs open the preseason at Arizona on Aug. 9 and kick off the regular season against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5.
Worthy, 22, had 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns and also rushed for three TDs in 17 games (13 starts) last season after being selected with the 28th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The rookie added three touchdown receptions in the playoffs, including two in the second half of the Chiefs' 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Lynx acquire DiJonai Carrington in trade with Wings
August 3 - The Minnesota Lynx acquired guard DiJonai Carrington on Sunday from the Dallas Wings, sending forward Diamond Miller, guard Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round draft pick in exchange. With the move, Carrington goes from the No. 11 team in the league in Dallas (8-21) to a franchise that is running away from the pack in the league standings. The Lynx (24-5) have a six-game lead on the second-place New York Liberty. Dallas acquired the 5-foot-11 Carrington on Feb. 2 from the Connecticut Sun, with whom she played four seasons. The move was part of a massive 10-team trade. In 20 games with the Wings, the 27-year-old averaged 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 24.9 minutes per game. All are above her career averages of 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 20.2 minutes per contest. She has appeared in 151 career games with Dallas and Connecticut. Carrington was named the WNBA's Most Improved Player in 2024 and also was selected to the league's All-Defensive first team. The Lynx selected Miller with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft. She has averages of 7.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 16.3 minutes over 78 career games. Samuelson was in her first season with Dallas after being acquired April 14 in a trade with the Washington Mystics. In 16 games this season, she averaged 3.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.5 minutes per game. She is a career 39.2 percent shooter from 3-point territory. The Lynx next play on Tuesday against the Storm in Seattle. --Field Level Media

People are just realizing hidden detail in Kai Trump's first Instagram post
Kai Trump, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Haydon - and the oldest grandchild of former President Trump - was just 14 when she made her Instagram debut. Her very first post? A photo with her grandfather and Tiger Woods, taken on a sunny day at one of Trump's golf courses and shared on February 23, 2021. 'Wishing Tiger luck and a speedy recovery. Also wishing his family all the best in these incredibly trying times. Get well soon! #goat #tigerwoods,' she captioned the shot, referencing Woods' serious car crash in early 2021. Now four years later, people have been noticing the significance of the post after Kai's mother started dating the golfing legend. Vanessa and Trump Jr divorced in 2018 after 12 years of marriage and since Thanksgiving 2024 Vanessa has been dating Woods. Sharp-eyed fans have been commenting on Kai's first post with one writing: 'Ironic this is her first post when he's now dating her mom.' Now 18, Kai has made a name for herself in golf. A senior at The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, Florida, she committed to the University of Miami last year and is poised to become a star in one of the country's top golf programs. She's also one of the most-followed student-athletes online, with a growing fanbase thanks to her YouTube channel and golf content. Last fall, she played against popular golf creator Garrett Clark and regularly shares behind-the-scenes vlogs. Her popularity has paid off. She recently landed a major NIL deal with Accelerator Active Energy, joining stars like Livvy Dunne and Travis Kelce. Her announcement video - complete with a mock presidential speech - showcased her signature humor: 'My fellow Americans and content creators. After months of reflection, I made a decision. I'll be running - no, stepping - into a new role. 'One with great responsibilities and 100 per cent natural caffeine. I've partnered with Accelerator!' Speaking to Fox, Kai said the 'organic' partnership was a natural fit: 'I love energy drinks… I don't eat a lot of sugar, because I get a little jittery and I crash and with accelerator there is no sugar and I don't crash at all.' She reportedly holds a $1.2 million NIL valuation and is now part of a brand lineup that includes Dunne - who launched her own cotton candy flavor in April - and Super Bowl champ Kelce. Kai is the eldest of Don Jr. and Vanessa's five children. Her younger siblings include Donny, 16, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, the youngest. Kai has previously spoken about how her grandfather has pushed her to be a better golfer. 'He taught me to just keep on working at it, and, honestly, I've gotten a lot better in past years with golf, but, he really just [taught me to keep] trying to keep on fighting and keep on practicing and whatnot,' she told 'Fox & Friends' last month. 'And I love playing golf… it's something that we share, a special bond together.' The high school student also spoke about the difficulties in having such famous relatives. 'I mean, it's a lot to handle sometimes with the public eye and also being a high school student and just like a normal kid,' she said. 'But honestly I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm very lucky and grateful for the opportunity I have to meet all these people and meet world leaders. 'I'm very thankful and just lucky to have this opportunity.'

Lionel Messi exits Inter Miami match v Necaxa with injury: ‘He did feel a pull'
Lionel Messi exited Inter Miami's Leagues Cup match against Necaxa on Saturday night after suffering an apparent hamstring injury in the opening minutes. After the match that Inter Miami won in a penalty shootout, coach Javier Mascherano indicated that Messi would undergo testing on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury. 'He felt discomfort,' Mascherano said through an interpreter. 'We will not be able to know until tomorrow how severe the injury is. There's probably something there. He was not in pain, but he did feel a pull.' Messi was injured around the eighth minute when he fell while being challenged by a pair of defenders near the penalty area. He fell to the ground and slammed his fist in frustration before walking toward midfield as play continued. He walked slowly toward the Inter Miami bench before sitting down on the pitch. Trainers came out and worked on his right upper thigh area for a couple of minutes before he subbed out for Federico Redondo in the 11th and immediately walked to the locker room. Messi has dealt with numerous hamstring injuries throughout his career and has missed time over the past couple of seasons dealing with various leg injuries — the most recent issue was with his left adductor, which sidelined him for a pair of Argentina's World Cup qualifiers earlier this year. The injury puts his status for Inter Miami's next Leagues Cup match in jeopardy. The Herons take on Pumas UNAM on Wednesday. Mascherano has been tasked with managing Messi's packed workload all season. The 38-year-old star was experiencing fatigue late last month and skipped the MLS All-Star game, which led to a one-match suspension by the league for violating its rules on participation in the exhibition match. Sign up to Soccer with Jonathan Wilson Jonathan Wilson brings expert analysis on the biggest stories from European soccer after newsletter promotion Messi was unavailable for Inter Miami's match against Cincinnati on 26 July, which allowed him a bit of rest. 'He is someone who would rather play than rest,' Mascherano said on Friday, adding that Messi would tell the team if he is experiencing fatigue. 'Clearly, we talk about the situation and we manage it,' he said. 'But it has to be a conversation with the player. They know where they can push their body and up to which point they can't. Leo is a special case. . … Perhaps if you make him rest, he feels worse. If we see a red flag or a risk, we aim to speak to the players.'
