Mike Vrabel raised some eyebrows this weekend when he told reporters flat out that the Patriots do not have a very deep team. He says it was context for why Drake Maye and other starters have been kept out of preseason action, not a shot across the bow at the front office. Sure, Mike. Either way, the message landed.
Speaking of depth, the Arizona Cardinals are taking a different approach after losing offensive lineman Chase Bisontis to a torn MCL in the preseason. You might expect them to go shopping, but they haven't signed a single new offensive lineman since. The reason is straightforward — Isaiah Adams has held down that starting right guard spot and, barring injury, he's your week one starter. No panic moves needed.
And over in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark put on an absolute show against the Chicago Sky, and her Indiana Fever teammate Aliyah Boston kept her reaction short and sharp — just two words to sum up a record-setting performance. Sometimes there's nothing left to say. Clark continues to rewrite what this league looks like in real time, and everyone around her knows it.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
