Gary Woodland Is Hard to Trust at Northern Trust

While Gary Woodland does own a runner-up finish at Liberty National from the 2013 Northern Trust, the former U.S. Open champion currently does not have his best stuff.

Ben Roethlisberger Will Play On Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will play during the exhibition matchup against the Lions. Although there were rumblings that the veteran wouldn't get involved during preseason action, it's a logical move, especially with some new faces in the Steel City on the offensive side of the ball. After missing nearly all of the 2019 campaign […]

Nick Castellanos Launches 21st Homer Of The Season

Darren Waller Practices On Tuesday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (ankle) returned to practice on Tuesday.

James McCann Scratched From Lineup
