San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shananhan was involved in a serious car wreck last week, the team announced on Saturday.

Shanahan broke his nose, three ribs, his hand, needed over 40 stitches in his face and suffered a severe concussion in the accident, according to ESPN. The incident happened on July 14 when the 45-year-old coach collided with another SUV by his home in northern California, according to the report.

“San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in a car accident last week where he suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Coach Shanahan will participate in team activities on a limited basis at the start of training camp while he recovers. Coach Shanahan and the 49ers organization would like to sincerely thank all first responders involved for their efforts and care,” the 49ers said in a statement.

Ishan Kishan (Video grabs)

NEW DELHI: Ishan Kishan was the undisputed star with the bat as India sealed the T20I series against Zimbabwe on Saturday, but it was a comical run-out miss behind the stumps that had social media buzzing long after the final ball.The wicketkeeper-batter, who smashed a brilliant 81 off 44 deliveries to earn the Player of the Match award, became the centre of attention for an amusing fielding lapse during Zimbabwe’s chase. Kishan later saw the funny side of the incident, joking about it during the post-match presentation.The viral moment came in the 15th over when Zimbabwe’s Tadiwanashe Marumani nudged the ball towards deep backward point.

A mix-up between the batters left both stranded near the bowler’s end, presenting India with what appeared to be a straightforward run-out opportunity.However, Kishan casually underarmed the throw towards the stumps, seemingly believing the batter had already made his ground. The throw neither hit the stumps nor reached Ravi Bishnoi for a backup attempt, allowing Zimbabwe to escape.Realising what had happened, Kishan immediately placed his hand on his head with a sheepish grin as teammates and fans were left in disbelief.WATCH: Ishan Kishan’s run out miss

Kishan laughs off viral moment

The light-hearted moment quickly made the rounds on social media, and Kishan was asked about it after receiving the Player of the Match award.“I thought the batter was already inside the crease, but my bad. I’ll be looking at the bails next time,” he said with a smile.Fortunately for India, the missed chance had no bearing on the outcome as Zimbabwe were eventually bundled out for 129, handing the visitors a commanding 90-run victory and an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Brilliant 81 powers India to series-clinching win

Kishan ensured his amusing run-out miss remained only a footnote by producing a superb innings after India slipped to 29/2 inside the powerplay.The left-hander first rebuilt the innings with captain Shreyas Iyer in a 66-run stand before adding a match-defining 94-run partnership with Tilak Varma.Kishan struck nine fours and two sixes during his 44-ball 81, bringing up his 13th T20 half-century in just 31 deliveries. Tilak provided the perfect finishing touch with an unbeaten 60 off only 29 balls as India surged to 219/5.Zimbabwe never threatened the target despite Brian Bennett’s brisk 32. Debutant Yash Thakur impressed with 2/30, while Abhishek Sharma claimed 3/17. Prince Yadav struck twice before leaving the field with a hamstring injury.India eventually wrapped up a comprehensive 90-run victory to clinch the series with one match still to play.

Tour de France organisers have been praised for placing netting on the sheer verge of a mountain descent which caught race leader Sepp Kuss and “might have saved his life”.

Kuss was descending during the final throes of stage 20, the queen stage of the 2026 Tour de France, towards the finish on Alpe d’Huez when lost control at speed on a right-hand bend.

The American Visma-Lease a Bike rider crashed into a low wall on the side of the road and tipped over the edge in a terrifying incident, but was stopped from falling down the mountainside by netting strategically placed by racing organiser ASO.

“I don’t think we can exaggerate this,” said TNT Sport pundit Matt Stephens after the stage. “This could have been a life or death moment. The other side of that [netting] is a precipitous drop.

“The organisers have played a blinder. They knew that if anybody got it wrong, that’s where they’d maybe come off. I think that netting … it might have saved his life.”

Kuss was seen smiling at the finish despite a bloodied leg and elbow.

Fellow analyst Robbie McEwen also praised the safety measure, saying: “We’re not racing on a closed circuit. This is road racing. Everybody knows the inherent risks. The organisers have done everything they can.

“You’re racing at the limit. We’re at the back end of a three week tour. Concentration levels drop a little bit, just the pure intensity of the race – you make one tiny mistake and it’s very, very costly.”

It was Kuss’s second crash in the finale and he was ultimately denied what would have been a memorable victory on a chaotic day’s racing, won by Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz of EF Education-Easypost.

Carapaz and Kuss were part of an early breakaway that formed on the first of four ⁠major climbs of the day. The pair, along with Australia’s Jai Hindley, emerged ​as ⁠the strongest riders from the group ‌before Kuss attacked with 17km remaining and opened up a small gap.

Kuss looked on course for victory but crashed in a ‌tunnel and then again on the descent, where he was caught by the netting, as Carapaz ‌reeled him in and surged past.

Carapaz crossed the line 31 seconds clear of Kuss, who was overtaken in the closing metres by Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel of Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe. Evenepoel finished second, 26 seconds ⁠behind Carapaz, with Kuss taking third.

Race leader Tadej Pogacar safely negotiated the penultimate stage and is all but certain to claim a fifth Tour de France title on Sunday, holding a lead of more than seven minutes over Evenepoel.

Four riders have died in the long history of the Tour de France, but none since 1995, although three spectators have died since then after being hit by vehicles.

Manchester United have been credited with an interest in a host of potential new signings this summer

Former West Ham star Crysencio Summerville reportedly had a wish to join Manchester United, but one key reason held up the deal. The Reds were one of a number of clubs to be linked with signing the Netherlands international during the summer transfer window.

Summerville was part of the Netherlands squad that featured at the World Cup before being knocked out by Norway in the last-16 stage of the tournament in North America.

The 24-year-old’s future was the subject of intense speculation following West Ham’s relegation from the Premier League, with Mateus Fernandes already leaving the London Stadium to join Tottenham Hotspur in a £100million deal.

United were heavily linked with signing Summerville, but the forward has instead completed a permanent move to Saudi Pro League outfit Al Hilal.

The Saudi club confirmed the move on Friday, with West Ham reportedly agreeing on a £60million fee for the versatile forward.

A report in The Athletic has now claimed that United had expressed an interest in signing Summerville, but the forward opted against completing a move to Old Trafford.

The report claims that United were Summerville’s ‘preferred option’, but a deal never materialised due to Marcus Rashford’s future remaining unresolved.

Tottenham had also expressed a desire to sign Summerville, but the forward turned down the opportunity out of respect to West Ham and their rivalry with the north London club, the report added.

It now remains to be seen what United’s plans for the rest of the summer transfer window will be, with three new signings already completed by the club.

Andrey Santos was signed by United in a £50million deal from Chelsea, while Youri Tielemans has arrived from Aston Villa after the Reds decided to activate the £35million release clause in his contract.

Free agent Karl Darlow has also been signed by United to strengthen their goalkeeper options, and now there continues to be uncertainty over whether or not the club will go into the market for further reinforcements before the summer transfer window closes.

During the offseason, the New Orleans Saints made a clear effort to add pieces to their defensive line. In doing so, the expectation is also on improving a run defense that has struggled the last three years. The Saints ranked 19th against the run and 6th in average per carry allowed in 2025. That was a vast improvement on 31st in each category the previous season and their 2023 ranking of 22nd in both categories. Still, it is clear that New Orleans wanted more muscle in the middle to go along with a couple already solid pieces up front. Our training camp previews at Saints Wire continues with a look at this important position.

• On the roster: Bryan Bresee, Vernon Broughton, Nathan Shepherd, Christen Miller (rookie), Zxavian Harris (rookie), John Ridgeway III, Davon Godchaux, Khristian Boyd, Myles Cole, Keeshawn Silver (rookie), Jay’Viar Suggs (rookie)

• Offseason additions: Miller, Harris, Silver, Suggs

Cameron Jordan, Carl Granderson, and Chase Young will of course see some snaps as a more traditional defensive end in some alignments or situations. They’ll be included when we break down the team’s edge rushers. This focuses more on the interior linemen, a position that needs far more production and disruption.

Bryan Bresee entered 2025 with some concerns over how he’d fit in a Brandon Staley scheme that runs more 3-4 fronts. Bresee responded with a solid year. However, he recorded only 2.5 sacks and 5 tackles for loss despite double-digit pressures. Bresee will again be a big part of the defense in 2026, but must become a more consistent finisher.Vernon Broughton is among the potential breakout candidates this year for the Saints. An early third round choice in the 2025 NFL Draft, Broughton was a disruptive presence with the Texas Longhorns. The Saints never got to see that because Broughton had his rookie season ended in Week 2 with a hip injury. Look for Broughton to push hard for a starting role opposite Bresee as a 3-4 end and also see some reps inside when the Saints use a four-man line.

Currently holding the spot opposite Bresee is Nathan Shepherd, who has been a steady veteran. Shepherd had 14 pressures in 2025, but just 3 sacks and 4 stops for loss. Like Bresee, he’s a very good tackle in four-man fronts but New Orleans needs more finishes from him from their three down linemen fronts.

Shepherd, Bresee, and Broughton make up a good rotation with nice versatility. Where the Saints have had a major deficiency is at nose tackle, where they lack a traditional big-bodied run-stopper. Godchaux, Ridgeway, and Boyd have not turned heads in that role. Ridgeway is perhaps the most consistent of the three, but each seem perched on the roster bubble as training camp begins.

Outlining that is the fact that four rookie defensive tackles were brought in by the Saints during the offseason. Second round pick Christen Miller is expected to start in the middle and has formidable strength to go along with underrated quickness. Zxavian Harris brings a combination of power, size, and athleticism that should make him a factor if off field problems are behind. Silver and Suggs, also undrafted, could still push Godchaux, Ridgeway, and Boyd for their spots on the roster.

In Brandon Staley’s system, the Saints don’t necessarily need a double-digit sack performance from a down lineman. The edge rushers are featured in their pass rush scheme. However, the defense needs Bresee, Broughton, and Shepherd to finish plays on a more consistent basis. Additionally, this group must tie up double-teams and push the line of scrimmage backwards more effectively, setting up one-on-one chances for the outside playmakers. This is something that the interior has failed to do for three seasons and why the Saints spent a second round draft choice on Miller. The improvement of the interior defensive line won’t necessarily fill up a stat sheet, but will be key for the 2026 New Orleans defense.

Sunday’s final stage of the Tour de France will be shorter than planned because security forces have been redirected to help fight wildfires near Bordeaux, organizers and police said Saturday.

“In a spirit of national solidarity with the areas and communities affected, it was decided to adapt the route for the final stage from Thoiry to Paris,” the Paris police and the event’s organizers said in a joint statement.

Slovenian four-time champion Tadej Pogacar has all but sealed victory in the world-famous cycling race and only needs to finish Saturday’s stage to secure a fifth Tour title in seven years.

Final stage shortened to 89 kilometers

The route for Stage 21 has been shortened to 89 kilometers (55 miles), down from the 133 kilometers originally planned.

It was set to begin east of Paris in Thoiry but will now start with two laps on the Champs-Elysees.

Riders will then race the circuit before finishing on the Champs-Elysees as usual.

The team presentation will still be held in Thoiry before riders are taken to Paris by bus.

“The Paris police prefect and the Tour de France director salute the commitment of all the actors mobilized in the fight against the fires and express their full solidarity with the affected populations,” the statement said.

Wildfires near Arcachon Bay, near Bordeaux in Gironde, and around Biscarrosse in Landes have destroyed more than 36,000 hectares of forest and forced nearly 200,000 people to evacuate.
