The College Football Players Association has announced that Stanford has become the first team to organize a player-led chapter. The group advocates for unionization and collective bargaining. CFBPA executive director Jason Stahl says the goal is for other Atlantic Coast Conference schools to join Stanford. This could create momentum for unionization and bargaining over working conditions. Stanford players elected offensive lineman Fisher Anderson and linebacker Ernest Cooper as their representatives. Anderson believes the CFPA will give players a voice in governing college football. The NCAA and conferences are working with Congress on a Senate bill for an antitrust exemption.

The Los Angeles Rams’ first practice of training camp Sunday was also the first time they’ve lined up as a full defense with Myles Garrett on the edge. The experience left everybody on the field excited about what could be possible this season for the Rams. Garrett is still in the process of getting settled in with his new team less than two months after his arrival from Cleveland. But even with the Rams going less than full speed in shorts and no pads, Garrett’s presence was unmissable whether he was breaking into the backfield for a simulated sack or leaping up to swat down a screen pass.

Coach Kyle Shanahan walked onto the practice field and stood next to general manager John Lynch, watching his San Francisco 49ers practice for about 30 minutes. Shanahan’s presence that has been a constant the past decade was a welcome sight for the first training camp practice, coming less than two weeks after he got into a car crash that left him with a concussion and other injuries. While Shanahan made a cameo appearance at practice, the Niners began preparations for the 2026 season without their leader in charge. Shanahan has ceded responsibility over the team to assistant head coach/offensive line coach Chris Foerster temporarily as he recovers.
