Noah Lyles is done for the year. The reigning Olympic hundred meter champion announced Friday he's shutting it down due to recurring injury flare-ups, and that means he won't be at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest next week. Brutal timing for the twenty nine year old, who owns four world two hundred meter titles and took the hundred meter crown at this very event back in twenty twenty three.
Shifting to the pitch, Stuttgart answered their critics in a big way. Coming off a brutal opening day thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich, VfB Stuttgart turned around and put four past Cologne at home, winning four to one. That's the kind of response that quiets a locker room before it even gets loud, and it keeps Stuttgart relevant in the early Bundesliga table conversation.
And in Los Angeles, good news out of the Rams camp. Sean McVay says wide receiver Puka Nacua is making real progress recovering from that groin injury that kept him sidelined through much of the preseason. He's one of the most dynamic pass catchers in the league, and his availability for week one could shift a lot of things, both on the field and in fantasy draft rooms across the country.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
