Christian Pulisic is back and ready to go. The AC Milan star says he feels great after sitting out one World Cup match with a calf injury, and he's hoping to suit up for the United States when they face Türkiye on Thursday night.

Shifting to the NFL, Jacksonville is locking up one of their own. Tight end Brenton Strange has agreed to a three-year extension with the Jaguars worth up to forty-eight million dollars, with twenty-five million fully guaranteed. Strange has quietly become a reliable weapon in that offense, and Jacksonville is making sure he's not going anywhere.
And in New York, Knicks president Leon Rose is opening up about the decision to move on from Tom Thibodeau.

Rose called it a calculated risk, and now the whole basketball world is watching to see if it pays off.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
