Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing set for golden opportunity they might not get again

With Mike Evans sidelined by an Achilles flare before the 49ers’ Week 7 clash against Atlanta, San Francisco’s thin receiver corps gives rookie Jordan Watkins and fellow fourth‑round pick Jacob Cowing a rare chance to earn more snaps. Both have recorded just five catches each (Watkins 108 yards, Cowing 89 yards) after injuries stalled their progress, but Watkins has already seen 45% of offensive snaps and shown strong run‑blocking. If Evans misses the game, the Falcons matchup could be a pivotal moment for the two to prove their value before the depth chart reshuffles later in the season.

Austin Warren was a reliable piece of the Mets’ bullpen

After five years of spotty MLB action, right‑hander Austin Warren became a pivotal piece of the New York Mets bullpen in 2026. Claimed from the Giants before the 2025 season, he logged 30 appearances, relying on a four‑pitch mix—curveball, four‑seam fastball, sinker and a sweeper that made up 45.5% of his pitches. Despite a high walk rate (4.3 BB/9), Warren limited damage, posting only five earned runs over his final 15.33 innings with 18 strikeouts and a single home run. A July forearm strain sidelined him, but his early‑season consistency and arbitration eligibility suggest the Mets will likely retain him for 2027.

‘We’re Entering Our Competitive Phase“ AGM Jeff Kealty’s Rise In Nashville And San Jose’s Next Move

The San Jose Sharks shift from long‑term rebuilding to a competitive phase, leveraging a deep prospect pool that includes center Macklin Celebrini, forwards Will Smith, Michael Misa and Ivar Stenberg, and blueline depth with Sam Dickinson and others. New assistant GM Jeff Kealty arrives from a 25‑year Nashville tenure, where he helped draft stars like Roman Josi and Filip Forsberg. Tasked with boosting pro scouting, Kealty now guides Mike Grier’s push to add veterans such as Darnell Nurse and Jacob Trouba, turning the young core into a legitimate threat.

49ers OC on second year WR: ‘The ball is going to find him’

With star receiver Mike Evans sidelined, the 49ers’ passing game shifts focus to second‑year wideout Jordan Watkins. After logging the most snaps (47) but only one target in the recent win, offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak praises Watkins’ route running and says the ball will find him as the team leans on him and other backs like Brandin Cooks and Christian Kirk. Watkins, who posted three catches for 26 yards as a rookie, is poised for a larger role in Week 7 as Brock Purdy looks for reliable targets.

He has thrown for 1,460 yards […] The post 49ers fans will love Brock Purdy more after his honest admission about commercials appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Brandon Duhaime plans to keep ‘snowballing’ off of good efforts with linemates after impressive performance vs. Rangers

The Toronto Maple Leafs extend their winning streak to three games with a 5-4 victory over the New York Rangers, propelled by a hot fourth line. Brandon Duhaime, Teddy Blueger and Zack MacEwen combined for seven points — the first of the season for each after signing on July 1 — and Duhaime says the unit will keep “snowballing” as chemistry builds. Their play complements Toronto’s top-ranked penalty kill and helped secure a 6‑4‑2 record through 12 games. Duhaime also praised Troy Stecher’s game‑winner and his hard‑nosed style.
