Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease recorded a quality start in Thursday's no-decision versus the Oakland Athletics.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Drops Long Pass In Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling did what he's known for by beating a helpless cornerback deep, but then dropping a perfectly placed deep ball in practice.

Jimmy Graham Trying To Stay Fresh

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham is a few weeks away from his beginning his 12th NFL season.

Courtland Sutton's Knee Feels Good

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton's knee is quickly improving.
