Jacoby Brissett is back on the field for the Arizona Cardinals, taking reps in Thursday's opening training camp practice after sitting out mandatory minicamp while pushing for a contract extension. First-year head coach Mike LaFleur says talks are ongoing and, notably, productive — so there's reason for optimism in the desert.
Shifting to the sweet science, Canelo Alvarez is opening up about his September loss to Terence Crawford, and his honesty is striking. He says his training camp was solid, but his mind simply wasn't right when it mattered most. "If your mind is not there, it's not the same," he said — a rare and candid admission from one of boxing's all-time greats.
And in golf, Scottie Scheffler appears to have found his putter at the two thousand twenty six three-M Open, delivering one of the stronger putting rounds on Thursday after a rough week on the greens at The Open Championship. The world number one isn't leading, but he's dialed in and dangerous heading into the weekend.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
