Nolan McLean shines as Mets end losing streak

Nolan McLean might be pretty good. The Mets rookie right-hander pitched another gem Saturday in a 6-2 win over the Astros, as New York snapped a three-game losing streak.

Texans make final Brett Rypien roster decision

The Houston Texans have a potentially historic defense and a talented yet inconsistent quarterback who is coming off an abysmal playoff performance. That combination is producing heaps of scrutiny.

Texans player on roster bubble with most at stake in 2026 NFL preseason finale

Solomon Byrd entered Friday night’s preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers with the highest stakes of any Houston Texans player fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster, and left Charlotte with his fate more uncertain than when he arrived.

Texans’ most agonizing roster decision looming on 2026 cutdown day

Cutdown day rarely arrives with a clean depth chart, but the Houston Texans have been handed an especially difficult puzzle at wide receiver. That creates a particularly uncomfortable problem for general manager Nick Caserio and head coach DeMeco Ryans. There may simply not be enough roster spots for every receiver who has earned consideration. With […] The post Texans’ most agonizing roster decision looming on 2026 cutdown day appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Texans drop final preseason game to Panthers 16-13

If you sat down to watch the third Texans’ preseason game and watched the entire thing, you get nothing but respect from me. Because this game was just difficult to watch. No starters played, as was expected because who wants to put starters at risk for a meaningless game, but there were things that we […]

Panthers 16 Texans 13: Preseason ends on a high note

First Quarter If you thought a game in the rain featuring no starters was going to be a slog to watch offensively, you were right. Though there were moments to enjoy from a defensive perspective. Trevis Gipson and Trevin Wallace each registered a sack to force a punt on the Texans’ first drive. The offense […]

Mets stymied by Hunter Brown

Though the Mets struck first in this game, they ultimately fell to the Astros 3-1, as Hunter Brown out-dueled Christian Scott, who was let down by the usually solid Nate Lavender in the sixth. Technical difficulties with both television broadcasts due to a power outage in the truck meant that just like everybody else, I […]

NFL Preseason Week 3: Houston Texans at Carolina Panthers

It seems only fair to end the preseason that we let another team host a Houston Texans preseason game. The Texans have traversed the Appalachians and arrived in Charlotte to take on the Panthers in a game that will make the difference between who makes the roster and who doesn’t (gee, how insightful), so expect […]

Panthers vs Texans: Preseason Week 3 discussion thread

The end of the 2026 preseason is upon us with the Carolina Panthers hosting the Houston Texans. Head coach Dave Canales is holding with tradition and resting all of the projected starters in tonight’s game.

Nuggets Release Julian Reese

The Nuggets have formally waived Julian Reese, per NBA.com’s transaction log. A 6’9″ forward/center who was signed to a two-way contract, Reese was traded from Washington to Denver last week as part of the Peyton Watson deal.

Southwest Notes: Durant, Irving, Castle, Stewart

As he prepares for his 20th NBA season, Kevin Durant hasn’t given much thought to retirement, Matt Young of The Houston Chronicle relays in a subscriber-only story.

The Rockets eventually need a stretch five

The Houston Rockets are starting a collection of fringe NBA big men. First, it was Oscar Tshiebwe. I wrote a feature about him, and you collectively responded with a “meh, he isn’t going to play anyway”. Callous, cruel destroyers of dreams you are. Next, they signed Rafael Castro. He probably won’t play either. He’s got […]

Mike Vrabel Reveals Patriots’ Plans for Kayshon Boutte After Trading Him to the Texans

The New England Patriots spent this offseason retooling their receiver room with an eye on finally getting back to the top of the AFC, and Kayshon Boutte’s departure was a byproduct of that buildup rather than the cause. The Patriots traded for A.J. Brown back in June and followed that up by signing Romeo Doubs […] The post Mike Vrabel Reveals Patriots’ Plans for Kayshon Boutte After Trading Him to the Texans appeared first on EssentiallySports .
