Saquon Barkley wins ESPY Award for Best Play of the Year
Barkley's reverse hurdle during last season's Week 9 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars has won 'Best Play' at the 2025 ESPY Awards.
One of the most memorable plays in NFL history will also grace the cover of Madden NFL 26, releasing early next month.
Barkley earned nominations in three categories: Best Athlete (Men's), Best NFL Player, and Best Play. The Philadelphia Eagles as unit was nominated for Best Team, competing against the NHL's Florida Panthers, MLB's Los Angeles Dodgers, WNBA's New York Liberty, college football's Ohio State Buckeyes, the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, NCAA women's lacrosse's North Carolina Tar Heels, the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, and the UConn women's basketball team.
The last Eagles player to win an ESPY award was QB Nick Foles, who won Best Championship Performance in 2018 for his heroics in Super Bowl LII.

Miami Dolphins' Bayron Matos airlifted to hospital after training camp injury
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bayron Matos suffered an undisclosed injury at the end of Wednesday's practice and was flown to a hospital on a helicopter. The injury happened in the final minutes of Day 1 of the Dolphins' training camp. Matos, a second-year offensive tackle, was airlifted in stable condition, the team said. The Dolphins did not release information on the injury. 'It's a really heartbreaking part of the game,' said Dolphins offensive lineman Austin Jackson. 'Very tough.' Matos, born in Los Mina, Santo Domingo, went undrafted in 2024 but signed with the Dolphins as a free agent through the NFL's International Player Pathway Program — an initiative that gives athletes from countries outside the U.S. a chance to play in the NFL. He spent time on Miami's practice squad over the past year before signing a reserve/future contract in January. He has not played in an NFL game. A two-sport athlete in basketball and baseball in his youth, Matos, 24, only started playing football in 2022. He walked on to the South Florida football team in 2022 with no prior experience. ___ AP NFL: Alanis Thames, The Associated Press

Braves option right-handers Davis Daniel and Wander Suero to Triple-A Gwinnett
ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves optioned right-handers Davis Daniel and Wander Suero, who combined to give up nine runs in Tuesday night's 9-0 loss to San Francisco, to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday. Daniel (0-1, 5.40) allowed five earned runs in five innings. Suero gave up four runs in two innings. The two combined to issue six walks, adding to their woes. The Braves recalled left-hander Dylan Dodd and right-hander Hunter Stratton before Wednesday's game against the Giants. Dodd has a 3.75 ERA in 11 games, all in relief. The Braves acquired Stratton from Pittsburgh on July 1. ___ AP MLB:
