Panthers announce CB change in roster move on Friday
As announced this afternoon, the team has signed cornerback Mello Dotson. Fellow corner MJ Devonshire, who sustained a hamstring injury during the first week of training camp, has been waived-injured to make room on the roster.
Dotson, a Daytona Beach, Fla. native, spent his five-year collegiate career at the University of Kansas. He was named a first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2024, where he tallied a conference-leading five interceptions and an FBS-leading two interception returns for a touchdown.
After going undrafted this past spring, Dotson signed on as a free agent with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 6-foot-1, 192-pounder would then be waived on July 22.
Like Dotson, Devonshire got his NFL start in Las Vegas. The two-time second-team All-ACC member was selected by the Raiders in the seventh round of the 2024 draft.
Devonshire found his way to Carolina on April 28, when the Panthers claimed him off waivers from the Raiders.

Tomoyuki Sugano throws 6 sharp innings, Tyler O'Neill homers again to help Orioles beat Rockies 5-1
Associated Press BALTIMORE (AP) — Tomoyuki Sugano pitched six innings of four-hit ball, Tyler O'Neill homered in a third straight game and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Colorado Rockies 5-1 on Sunday. Dylan Carlson drove in two runs for the Orioles, who followed Saturday night's 18-0 blowout with a more conventional victory in the deciding matchup of a three-game series between last-place clubs. Sugano (8-5) gave up one run, walked two and matched his career high with eight strikeouts. The 35-year-old righty, who signed a one-year contract with Baltimore in December, could be headed to a contender before Friday's trade deadline. Although he was impressive on Sunday, Sugano has yielded 21 homers in 20 games and had a 7.88 ERA over his previous seven starts. After languishing on the injured list from mid-May to early July, O'Neill appears to have found his stroke. Three of his six homers this season came in this series, including a two-run drive in the third inning Sunday off Austin Gomber (0-5) that made it 4-1. Colorado's lone tally came on a solo shot by Warming Bernabel, his first homer in the majors after making his big league debut on Saturday. The Rockies own a 27-78 record, same as the 2024 Chicago White Sox after 105 games. Those White Sox didn't win No. 28 until ending a 21-game skid on Aug. 6, and finished with a single-season record 121 defeats. Key moment Baltimore added a run in the eighth when Gunnar Henderson hustled from second base to home on a wild pitch that catcher Austin Nola was slow to retrieve. Key stat Half of O'Neill's 26 hits this season have gone for extra bases: six homers, six doubles and a triple. In addition, six of his 17 RBIs this season have come in the last three games. Up next Rockies: Bradley Blalock (1-2, 8.67 ERA) starts Monday in the opener of a three-game series at Cleveland. Orioles: Zach Eflin (6-5, 5.78) takes on the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards on Monday night. ___ AP MLB: recommended Item 1 of 3

Raiders training camp: 5 things we learned from the first week
HENDERSON, Nev. — It's not Las Vegas Raiders training camp without a little drama. From Chandler Jones to Davante Adams to Christian Wilkins, they've had something go wrong during the summer in each of the last few years. 'We don't really have control of that,' left tackle Kolton Miller said Friday. 'And it sucks, but the best you can do is just move on and stay focused because we have a lot of work to put in.' Advertisement But while Wilkins' release was surely the biggest story from the first week of training camp, it wasn't the only takeaway from the four practices. Here are five things I learned from Week 1 of camp. It had long been clear that something went wrong with Wilkins' recovery from a Jones fracture in his left foot. But what wasn't known was that the Raiders voided the guarantees in his contract over a month before training camp began. That decision came after a months-long dispute in which the Raiders maintained that Wilkins needed a second procedure to properly heal, but Wilkins didn't agree. That remained the case after the start of training camp, and on Thursday, the Raiders decided to move on from Wilkins. In their handling of the Wilkins situation, general manager John Spytek and coach Pete Carroll quickly set the tone for what they will and won't tolerate. Now, the focus for the Raiders turns to replacing Wilkins in the lineup. Powers-Johnson, a second-year offensive lineman, and defensive end Maxx Crosby are attached at the hip. They arrive early at team headquarters every day, stay late and hang out off the field. Just last year, though, Crosby and the young center didn't exactly hit it off. 'Me and Jackson did not have a great relationship,' Crosby said Wednesday. 'I'm hard on guys, especially young dudes. There's respect that's got to be earned when you come into this league, in this locker room, especially. There's a certain standard I expect from the guys. And he did a lot. The amount of growth he's had in the last year has been unbelievable.' Powers-Johnson has responded well to being challenged. He has cleaned up his diet, improved his off-field habits and adopted a more serious approach overall. Advertisement 'You have a choice every day if you want to get better or want to get worse,' Crosby said. ' … And that dude, he's got all the talent in the world. He's strong as an ox, he's a great dude, he's a baller, but it's about the details. And he's come in this offseason with the mindset that he's going to take that next step, and he's done that.' That has resulted in tangible growth for Powers-Johnson both on and off the field. There are high expectations for him in Year 2, but he feels ready to meet them. He showed flashes of his potential as a rookie, but he now believes he's found the consistency to be a high-level player. 'You get to the NFL, and then it's like, 'Oof, it's on you,'' Powers-Johnson said. 'It is a lot of hard work, but it's just so much fun, too. … That's what makes it easy to come into the building.' Powers-Johnson handled starting center duties for all of OTAs and the first several practices of training camp, but Jordan Meredith was with the first-team offense on Friday and Sunday. That's likely more about getting Meredith comfortable with quarterback Geno Smith in case of injury, but it could be something to monitor if it continues. Through the first week of training camp, the offense has largely focused on the quick game. Chip Kelly and company haven't pushed the ball downfield much as they continue to install the new scheme. That said, the Raiders cornerbacks have consistently been sticky in coverage. Eric Stokes and Darien Porter have gotten the most first-team reps, but Jakorian Bennett and Decamerion Richardson have also gotten looks. All those players have played at a solid level. Once the offense opens things up and preseason games begin, that'll create more of an opportunity for two of those four to separate themselves as starters. That won't happen for several weeks, but the corners have looked promising so far. Advertisement 'You see a lot of length out there and a lot of speed,' defensive coordinator Patrick Graham said. 'It's a space game in this league, and the receivers just keep getting better. … (Monday), we'll get to the physicality part in terms of seeing who's going to be able to support the run and see who can get their hands on people in press.' 🔴📽️ Live: DC Patrick Graham, Tyree Wilson, Isaiah Pola-Mao, Alex Cappa, and Michael Mayer address the media from the Intermountain Health Performance Center. — Las Vegas Raiders (@Raiders) July 27, 2025 Meyers and Smith have quickly hit it off. They've yet to play a game together, but their chemistry has stood out at every practice. But while those two are clearly in sync, Smith hasn't connected as often with the other receivers. It's not that Smith isn't looking their way, but they haven't been separating from defenders frequently enough. For Tre Tucker, his lack of size is always going to be a limiting factor. Dont'e Thornton has all the measurables, but he needs to become a more refined route runner. Jack Bech is more nuanced but doesn't have notable speed and is still working to find his fit. It's early, so there's no need to panic, but the Raiders are going to need more out of their non-Meyers receivers when the season arrives. You'd be hard pressed to find a roster that has anything negative to say about its new head coach, but you can feel how Carroll has changed the energy at team headquarters. It's not just about firing the guys up, although there's plenty of that. He has them believing in their potential. 'It's just great to see the energy that he continues to bring every single day,' Smith said Wednesday. 'Our first team meeting was jacked up, and guys were losing their minds in there. But Pete, he loves it, and I think he's only going to continue to get better as a coach because that's his mindset.' Advertisement Having won a national championship and a Super Bowl as a head coach, Carroll brings an impressive resume to the table. That'll earn you some respect, but it's not enough on its own. Carroll's ability to relate to and connect with players and coaches is the real kicker. 'It's a different perspective because I got to step away,' Carroll said Tuesday. 'I've had a chance to gather my thoughts about how I'm approaching (coaching) and what I'm trying to get done, not just in terms of X's and O's and all that, but in terms of the coaches and how to influence their growth and … connection with their players. There's a whole lot of chemistry stuff that I feel different about and I'm more in touch with. And I've been more demanding of our coaching staff in that regard, and that gets translated into (being) more demanding of the players as well.' Of course, that doesn't guarantee the Raiders will be successful this season. They have holes all over the roster and play in arguably the toughest division in the NFL. Still, Carroll has quickly established a foundation for them to build off of in the future. 'We've got to find ourselves,' Carroll said. 'We've got to figure out who we are.'

Panthers rookie OLB Princely Umanmielen stands up for franchise legend Cam Newton
A Carolina Panthers rookie is not tolerating any Cam Newton slander. The franchise legend has recently received quite a bit of vitriol, almost all of it personal, for his take on Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts. After Newton recently excluded the Super Bowl LIX Most Valuable Player from his list of the NFL's top ten quarterbacks, his career has been poked and prodded at by dissenting talking heads, analysts and fans alike. Newton himself punched back this past week, calling out a handful of celebrity detractors including ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, Ryan Clark and Dan Orlovsky, Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and rapper Gillie Da Kid. Well, he got some backup on Sunday—when Panthers outside linebacker Princely Umanmielen took a stand for the team's all-time leading passer on Twitter/X . . . Oh, and he's not just saying that because he plays for the Panthers . . . Umanmielen's defense of Newton will probably endear him to the Carolina faithful even further. The 2025 third-round pick already had plenty of Panthers fans smiling after the first week of training camp, where he picked up a few would-be sacks on back-to-back days at practice. He also poked fun at his first big play, which caused an abrupt end to the opening outing on Wednesday. Although he was eventually cleared of being overzealous on his strip-sack of Bryce Young, Umanmielen hilariously acknowledged that he'd try to keep his quarterback clean moving forward . . . There seems to be little doubt that Umanmielen, hands included, is quickly becoming a favorite in Carolina. Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.
