FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Stephon Gilmore wasn’t known for being much of a talker during his 13 NFL seasons.
But one of the most dominant cornerbacks of his era is officially retiring with the team with whom he had the most success during his career.
The 35-year-old Gilmore is returning to New England on Friday to sign a one-day contract and retire as a member of the Patriots, the team he won his lone Super Bowl with to cap the 2018 season.
Gilmore last played in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings and previously announced his retirement in April via an Instagram post.

Selected 10th in the 2012 draft by the Buffalo Bills, Gilmore established himself as one of the league’s premier players in the secondary over the next five seasons.
Gilmore was an instant standout in New England’s secondary after arriving as a free agent from Buffalo in 2017.
He earned the first of two straight AP All-Pro selections in his second season with the Patriots in 2018. He also had the game-clinching interception late in the fourth quarter of New England’s 13-3 Super Bowl win over the Los Angeles Rams to cap that season.
In 2019 he became the first player in Patriots history to be named NFL Defensive Player of the Year, leading the league with a career-high six interceptions, two returned for touchdowns. In addition, he had a career-high 20 pass breakups in both 2018 and 2019.

He was traded to the Carolina Panthers during the 2021 season.
His career includes stints with the Bills (2012-16), Patriots (2017-20), Panthers (2021), Indianapolis Colts (2022), Dallas Cowboys (2023) and Vikings (2024).
The five-time Pro Bowl selection ends his career with 32 interceptions and 149 pass breakouts.
India’s Quimcy Joaquim Dsouza is just a win away from securing a historic medal for the country in Teqball after marching into the women’s singles semifinals at the Asian Games here on Friday.
Making her Asian Games debut, Quimcy stunned top-seeded Yuina Sakamoto of Japan 2-1 (10-12, 12-11, 13-11) in her opening Group A match that lasted 43 minutes at the Nagoya City Higashi Sports Centre.
The young Indian carried the momentum into her second group match and defeated Cambodia’s Koemyean DY 2-0 (12-9 12-7) in 24 minutes to top her group and qualify for the semifinals.
Quimcy got a bye in the quarterfinals by virtue of topping her group.

She will take on Indonesia’s Sumaya in the semifinals on Saturday and a win will ensure the first-ever medal for India in Teqball, one of the six sports making its debut at the continental showpiece.
If the 24-year-old Indian loses in the last four match, she will have another shot at a medal through the bronze medal play-off tie.
Teqball is one of the six sports alongside Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Padel, Surfing, BMX Freestyle and Virtual Taekwondo which are making their debut in the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

Teqball is a dynamic sport, a combination of football and table tennis. The game was invented by football enthusiasts Gabor Borsanyi, Gyorgy Gattyan, and Viktor Huszar in Hungary in 2014.
The first official Teqball World Championships was held in Budapest in 2017.
In Teqball, players use almost every part of their body except hands and arms to rally with a standard size five football across a curved table, divided by a transparent plexiglass.
As the Kyler Murray concussion watch continues and Carson Wentz prepares for a possible 100th NFL start Sunday in Chicago, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores is scheming up ways to disrupt the high-flying Bears offense coming off their 59 point, 552-yard explosion in their opening win at Carolina.
It’s a battle of 1-0 teams who split their series last season with each team winning memorable come-from-behind games on the road. In his first NFL start, J.J. McCarthy led a late rally for a three-point opening victory for the Vikings. Later in Week 11, a long kickoff return by Devin Duvernay set up a short drive for Caleb Williams before Cairo Santos’ game-winning field goal in a game that helped spur the Bears on to the NFC North title while damaging the Vikings’ playoff chances.
The Bears are a 5 ½ point favorite as the oddsmakers are enamored with the Bears offense directed by boastful coach Ben Johnson, rising star QB Caleb Johnson, and the running back duo of D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai (who each rushed for over 100 yards last Sunday). Overlooked are the problems the defense had in allowing 37 points and 478 total yards including 361 passing yards and three TD passes (plus one rushing TD) by Panthers QB Bryce Young.
The Vikings have beaten the Bears six straight times in Chicago and will head to Soldier Field full of confidence after their thrilling rally to beat the Packers as all three areas—offense, defense and special teams—contributed to the victory. But there is plenty for the coaches to clean up this week starting with poor first half coverage by the secondary.
1. Win up front on defense especially against Garrett Bradbury at center and Braxton Jones or Ozzy Trapilo at left tackle. Bradbury, the former Vikings center, has had problems in his career against big, athletic defensive tackles with the prime example being Dexter Lawrence in the 2022 playoff loss to the Giants. I expect to see more of big DTs Domonique Orange and Caleb Banks this week as Flores tries to take advantage of Bradbury to stop the run and pressure Williams up the middle although the Bears probably will give Bradbury guard help.

The Bears likely will chip with tight ends and backs to help Jones or Trapilo against Dallas Turner who had a big opener with a sack and seven QB hits on Jordan Love. Left tackle is a potential weakness if Jones or Trapilo try to single block Turner.
A big question is how will the Bears handle the inside blitzing of Blake Cashman and Andrew Van Ginkel’s edge pass rushing after they (with Turner) wreaked havoc on the Packers.
2. Stop the run: Kevin O’Connell says of the Bears “at their core they want to run the football.” That was obvious last week with 291 rushing yards including 124 yards and three TDs from D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai contributed 100 yards and one TD. The Vikings held the Packers to 66 yards on 21 carries (3.1 average) but the Bears have better backs with Josh Jacobs out last week for the Pack and the Green Bay O-line was banged up and ran out of gas in the second half. But both Swift (ankle/knee) and Monangai (hamstring) were limited in practice this week.

3. Pressure Williams into sacks and turnovers and contain his running: Williams is coming off an outstanding performance at Carolina (21 or 29 for 269 yards, two TD passes, 10 rushes for 65 yards, two rushing TDs, no turnovers). He was only sacked twice which was the case in both games against the Vikings last season but the Minnesota D held him to 210 yards and 193 yards through the air last season. He had 58 rushing yards and a TD on the ground in the Week 1 game of 2025 but was held to 26 rushing yards in Week 11.

4. Better coverage than in first half against Green Bay: the Vikings allowed seven pass plays over 20 yards in the game, most of them in the first half from Jordan Love to Christian Watson including the 81 yard TD in which there was confusion among Vikings defenders on the coverage. Things seemed to settle down more in the second half as Harrison Smith played more snaps and was able to get the secondary properly aligned. Theo Jackson had several coverage issues and so did Josh Metellus. The Vikings need Smith on the field for more snaps against the Bears and should limit Jackson’s snaps while getting third rounder Jakobe Thomas more action in place of Jackson (or play Jay Ward or Jacob Thomas).
Byron Murphy must play up to his Pro Bowl status after he had a rough first half against Watson. Murphy, Isaiah Rodgers and James Pierre (who did have a big interception in his first game as a Viking) will be tested by Bears WRs Rome Odunze, Luther Burden and Kalif Raymond.
The safeties and linebackers need to do a better job covering two good tight ends in Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet after the Packers’ Tucker Kraft and Jonnu Smith combined for five catches and 115 yards.
5. Offense run it more consistently: with Jordan Mason on IR (fractured thumb), Aaron Jones, Demond Claiborne and DeeJay Dallas will carry the load. The offensive line, tight ends and fullback Max Bredeson came on in the second half to lead the way for Jones and Mason (one TD each) after rough going early on. The Vikings need to come out with a more consistent rushing attack to take pressure off the QB, set up play action, and win time of possession to keep the Bears offense off the field as much as possible.

6. Pass protect and get the ball to Jefferson and Addison: the Bears aren’t a great pass rushing team although Montez Sweat is dangerous (10 sacks last season, one sack last week). Wentz was sacked three times last week and either he or Murray must be protected so the dynamic skill players led by Jefferson and Addison have time to get open.
Jefferson had a great game last week (eight catches, 92 yards, two TDs) but Addison was shut out on only two targets (bad throws early by Wentz) and needs to be more involved this week. T.J. Hockenson should be a key part of the game plan in the intermediate zones after his solid game against the Packers (four catches, 36 yards, one TD).
The Vikings need their excellent right tackle Brian O’Neill to be able to play after he was limited on Wednesday and did not practice Thursday with a knee injury. O’Neill would be lined up against Sweat. If he can’t go, backup Ryan Van Demark steps in and will likely need help against Sweat.
7. Protect the ball and win the turnover battle: the Bears led the league in takeaways with 33 last season and the Vikings were the worst in giveaways (30). The Bears were +2 and the Vikings +1 in turnover ratio last week.

8. Continued excellence on third down: the Vikings controlled time of possession with 8 of 15 on third down while the defense held the Packers to 3 of 12 on third down and 0 for 2 on fourth down. This is a good formula to get a win.
9. Deeper kickoffs and better kickoff coverage: I’d like to see either much better kickoff coverage than last week (Bo Melton averaged 31 yards per return with a 59 yarder) or Will Reichard should just kick if deep in the end zone and let the Bears start at the 35. Anything to avoid a repeat of the disaster in Week 11 last year when Devin Duvernay’s 56-yard return set up the winning field goal by Cairo Santos. Fortunately Duvernay is now a Cardinal and Josh Blackwell averaged only 21 yards per return last week.

Another big return or two from Myles Price would be a huge help to the Vikings cause as was the case last week when his 68-yard return set up the touchdown that brought the Vikings within five points in the third quarter and was a momentum changer at that point.
10. Reichard outkick Santos: Reichard, a first-team All-Pro last season, tied a Soldier Field record with his 59-yard field goal in Week 1. He was perfect against the Bears in the two games and Santos missed one field goal in each game but also made the clutch 48-yarder for the Week 11 victory.
11. Continue last week’s low penalty total: the Vikings had only three penalties for 15 yards last Sunday which was impressive in an opener while the Bears had 12 penalties for 57 yards at Carolina.

Prediction
I see a close game with both teams trying to control the clock with the run game and working play action for several big pass plays. Similar to the two games last year, I think it will come down to a final Bears drive with Williams making some key passes and runs to set up the winning field goal. Sorry to say I predict a 27-24 victory for the Bears but it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if the Vikings stretch their winning streak to seven straight at Soldier Field.
Around the NFL in Week 2
1. Will Packers bounce back at the Jets? Green Bay has lost six straight dating back to last season. The Jets have added a lot of young talent and had a dominant opening day win in Tennessee over the lousy Titans. I think Jordan Love is a lot better than Geno Smith in the QB matchup and I see the Packers winning a close game.

2. There are several Week 1 losers looking to avoid the dreaded 0-2 start. Included in this group is the Vikings’ Week 3 opponent on the road—Tampa Bay. The Bucs had fumble issues in Cincinnati where they had four lost fumbles (three by Baker Mayfield) the Bucs shouldn’t have any trouble with Mayfield’s former team—the hapless Browns who are sticking with Deshaun Watson after getting hammered in Jacksonville on Sunday.
Houston looks to rebound against Cincinnati in a critical home game as the Texans were one of the AFC favorites and don’t want to start the season with two home losses after their close loss to the Bills.

I like the Patriots and Drake Maye to get a win at home against the Steelers after Maye’s rough three-pick outing in the opening loss at Seattle. The Seahawks will battle the heat at surprising Arizona who are feeling good after upsetting the Chargers but Seattle’s defense will bring the Cards back to earth.
Denver comes off a poor performance at Kansas City and hosts a solid Jacksonville team. I’m picking the underrated Jaguars in a mild upset. The Chiefs were surprisingly good running the ball with Kenneth Walker. He and Patrick Mahomes along with a strong defense should win on Sunday night in Indianapolis.
The Chargers had perhaps the worst loss of Week 1 in falling at home to the Cardinals. Now the Chargers badly need a home win over Kirk Cousins and the Raiders who beat lowly Miami in their opener. It’s critical considering these next seven games for LAC—at Buffalo, at Seattle, home vs. Denver, at Kansas City, at the Rams, home vs. Houston and at Baltimore. Yikes.

Week 2 will wrap up with the Rams bouncing back from their lousy game in Australia against the 49ers to beat the Giants who handled the Cowboys in the opener. Despite Myles Garrett being out with a knee injury, the Rams will get after Jaxson Dart in the possible return of Aaron Donald.
India’s Chef de Mission for the Asian Games, Sahdev Yadav, said on Friday that he only learned after arriving in the city that organisers had removed around 30 to 35 Indian athletes from the accommodation list, forcing the contingent to book hotels for them.
Several Indian athletes faced logistical and accommodation hassles after arriving in the city, with some forced to spend long hours waiting for rooms.
“They (Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games Organising Committee) informed us that more players than expected had come (from India). But as far as India is concerned, that’s not the case. We stuck to the number of players they had invoiced. But they removed some names, so we booked hotels for them… we faced difficulty with regard to 30-35 athletes,” said Yadav on the sidelines of the flag-hoisting function here.

“Our team quickly swung into action to get accommodation for the athletes as quickly as possible.” Yadav acknowledged there had been mismanagement in handling the arrival of contingents but said such problems could occur at an event of this scale.
“Yes, there is mismanagement, but it’s a big event and it can happen. But we have to look beyond that. We have to take care of our athletes and solve their problems and get them good accommodation so that they are in the right frame, both physically and mentally, to win medals and are relaxed,” said the official.
He assured that all Indian athletes had now been accommodated, with the deputy chefs de mission working to resolve the initial problems.
“Everyone has got accommodation and there is absolutely no problem at our end. Initially, when there were problems, we booked extra hotel rooms. Our team is going to the airport every time to fetch the athletes.

“Last night, two deputy chefs de mission, Alaknanda Ashok and Anjali Bhagwat, had gone to the airport to receive the athletes.” Yadav said athletes had also faced long delays in getting accreditation, particularly those housed on the cruise ship, but the Indian team had arranged vehicles and additional hotel rooms to ease their stay.
“Of course, there have been delays in getting the accreditation cards of athletes, as it’s a long process for those who are being housed on the cruise ship. Yes, there are long delays there, but we dispatched cars and arranged hotels to make things easy for them.
“We have booked 18 hotel rooms and will book 10 more today to accommodate about 30 athletes. Definitely, they (organisers) have a paucity of accommodation,” he added.
The affected athletes were from badminton and shooting, Yadav said, adding that the situation had now settled down.

On unconfirmed reports that male and female athletes and coaches had, in a few instances, been accommodated in the same rooms, Yadav said no such arrangement had been made for the Indian contingent and that he was unaware of any such incident involving other contingents.
With a storm expected to hit the city, Yadav said athletes had been advised to remain indoors at their hotels and on the cruise ship where some members of the contingent are housed.
If you’re looking for a way to work on your swing without ever hitting a ball, an impact bag is a worthy option. And now, thanks to a great sale at PGA TOUR Superstore, you can get one for less than $20 — that’s 33 percent off its regular retail price.
The Impact Trainer is composed of heavy-duty material that you can fill with plush items of your choosing after purchase. (Soft cloth and/or towels are recommended.) Once the bag is ready, the object is to take as many swings as you like aiming at the circle target, which will help reinforce proper club, hand, body and arm position at impact. This practice will ultimately lead to more quality shots with real golf balls. The bag also features a stake loop so you can secure it while in use outdoors.
One caveat: The Impact Trainer is designed primarily as an impact-position training aid, so attacking it with the full strength of your swing isn’t recommended. Instead, short-game swings or full swings of 70 percent or so will be sufficient to glean the benefits.
Top 100 Teacher Krista Dunton has long been a fan of an impact bag’s benefits.

“It’s multifunctional,” she said. “It gives you the feeling of the club swinging into the ball, getting the clubhead and the hands in the right position, getting your weight into the lead side, and that smack and pop of the clubhead actually coming into the ball, instead of the club bottoming out way too far behind the ball, or never getting into the ball and topping it.”
You’ll likely notice a difference just by hitting the Impact Trainer a few times a day. And since you aren’t actually hitting any balls, the feedback is always positive.

Uefa and Concacaf have written to Gianni Infantino calling on Fifa to pay at least $10m (£7.5m) from its cash reserves to each of the 211 member associations.
It is the latest chapter in the war of words between the governing bodies, in response to Fifa president Gianni Infantino’s aborted private equity proposal.

Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) would have meant a new company being created to manage commercial and ticketing rights of all competitions, including World Cups, with 21% sold off to an investment company.
Advertisement
The idea was scrapped after four days following widespread opposition from national associations.
The letter, seen by BBC Sport, was signed by Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin and his Concacaf counterpart Victor Montagliani.
It outlines that “Fifa is on course to close 2023-26 with reserves of approximately $6bn (£4.5bn)” which is “considerably more than is required” through to the 2030 men’s World Cup.

It said that Fifa should “make at least $10m available to each of its 211 member associations over the 2027-30 cycle” which should be used “for investment in infrastructure and football development”.
This “one-off release of reserves” would come at a cost of $2.11bn (£1.57bn), and would be in addition to the regular funding in the cycle.
When the controversial plan was revealed in the days following the World Cup final, Infantino told members they would receive $40m (£30m) if they backed it.
Infantino set a deadline of 19 September for federations to accept his plans if they want to access an initial $20m (£15m).

In the letter, Ceferin and Montagliani said analysis carried out on Fifa’s published financial statements and budgets raised doubts that the FFE proposal was “necessary to deliver greater resources”.
It added that the analysis was “deliberately conservative” and a larger distribution from the reserves should be considered by the Fifa Council once the financial position at year-end is known.
An “independent review” of Fifa’s finances should be commissioned, it added, with “full access to the underlying figures and assumptions”.

“Fifa currently holds billions of dollars in accumulated reserves,” it read. “These resources belong to football and exist to serve the game and its 211 member associations.
Advertisement
“Prudence should not prevent a careful examination of whether a portion could responsibly be released to the extent those reserves exceed Fifa’s foreseeable needs.
“Releasing part of these reserves would demonstrate that member associations should not have to choose between development and good governance; between investment and integrity; or between financial support and the ability to consider proposals on their merits.

“Development is an institutional responsibility of Fifa – not a matter of individual discretion.”
Another letter, also seen by BBC Sport, has been sent to the presidents of the other confederations – Asia, Africa, South America and Oceania – asking them to support the motion.
Hewitt, a Fifa vice-president, said that the Fifa Council should also receive a written explanation for the cancelled suspension of United States forward Folarin Balogun at the World Cup.
Infantino was told he should make all documents available before the next Fifa Council meeting, which is on 15 October.
Teddy Atlas has highlighted a key advantage of David Benavidez, which Jai Opetaia must attempt to nullify if they end up colliding next year.
The two cruiserweights have verbally agreed to lock horns in 2027, with Benavidez acknowledging the Australian as a worthy opponent for Cinco de Mayo weekend.
Before targeting their potential showdown in May, though, ‘The Mexican Monster’ is expected to face WBC champion Michal Cieslak on December 12.
By scoring a sixth-round finish, the Mexican-American not only became a three-division world champion but also demonstrated his speed and power at 200lbs.
Top trainer Atlas has therefore suggested on his YouTube channel that these attributes, combined with his punches in bunches, could see the 29-year-old defeat Opetaia.

“He’s got the quicker hands – I think that’s one advantage. But he’s got power, too – just like Opetaia. And he’s a warrior – just like Opetaia. They’re both undefeated; they’re both champions.
“[Benavidez is] a guy, though, that throws with speed and power and punches in clusters. And that can be a problem.
“You can time it … but that might give [Benavidez] an edge. Opetaia might have to hurt him to slow him down and win the fight [on points]. It’s hard to visualise Opetaia outworking him when it comes to volume.”
Indeed, Opetaia is unlikely to match Benavidez’ tremendous punch output but, as the naturally bigger man, he may find success in other areas of their hoped-for contest.
The Unity Torch for the 2026 Akwa Ibom State Sports Festival has reached nine Local Government Areas, with 22 more expected to receive the symbolic torch as the statewide tour continues.
The four-day relay began on Wednesday, September 16, following the lighting of the Torch of Unity by Governor Umo Bassey Eno last Thursday ahead of the sports festival.
The tour is being organised by the Interministerial Committee in collaboration with the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the festival and is scheduled to cover all 31 Local Government Areas by Saturday, September 19.

They also thanked the Local Government chairmen for supporting the exercise and receiving the delegation in their respective areas.
The visits have been marked by receptions from council officials, with several chairmen confirming their readiness to take part in the second edition of the state sports festival.
At Ibesikpo Asutan, council chairman Rt. Hon. Evangelist Edidiong Inyang said the festival would provide another opportunity to identify young sporting talents.
He recalled that talents were discovered during the first edition and expressed hope that more athletes would emerge from the 2026 festival.

Former Akwa United player and Flying Eagles star Aniekeme Asuquo has joined Iraqi club Al-Kadhimiya SC, taking his career to a new chapter outside Nigeria.
Asuquo is a versatile midfielder who can also operate from the flanks, giving his new club an additional attacking option.
The Nigerian was part of the Flying Eagles squad at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland, where he was listed as a midfielder for Nigeria.

He started his professional career with Akwa United, joining the club from Akwa Starlet in 2018. He was part of the Akwa United team that competed in the CAF Confederation Cup and scored the decisive goal against Al-Ittihad of Libya in Uyo in March 2018.
Asuquo later continued his career with other Nigerian clubs and was a key player in Finidi George tutored in Rivers United team that reached the CAF Champions League group stage. His move to Al-Kadhimiya now gives him an opportunity to continue his football career in Iraq.
The transfer also marks another overseas chapter for the former Nigeria U-20 international, who will be looking to make his mark with his new club.
