Hi, Allison Jensen for sports in sixty. In the N.F.L., Jonathan Taylor and the Colts agree on a two-year, forty-four million dollar extension — about thirty-nine million guaranteed — making him the league's second-highest-paid running back just as preseason football returns with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton tonight. In soccer, Real Madrid lock up Vinícius Júnior through twenty thirty-two, ending months of transfer speculation after Arsenal interest. In baseball, the first-place Braves stretch their winning streak to seven behind strong starts from Bryce Elder and Grant Holmes, quieting trade-deadline critics. On the PGA Tour, the Wyndham Championship opens in Greensboro with FedExCup playoff spots on the line for the bubble. And in the W.N.B.A., A'ja Wilson's Aces visit Caitlin Clark and the Fever tonight in Indianapolis. Your sports on demand anytime, anywhere!
