Coach News Today — September 7, 2026
Shelton coasts as U.S. puts 3 into men's quarters and more — today's coach signal.
Big wins for American athletes and a couple of injury updates are making headlines today. The U.S. is dominating in tennis, with three players advancing to the men's quarterfinals, led by Shelton's impressive performance. This comes on the heels of a similar showing in another major tournament, where Shelton's win helped the U.S. put three players into the Open quarters. Meanwhile, the U.S. women's national team continues to roll, pushing their World Cup win streak to 32 with a victory over Italy.
Injury news is a mixed bag today, with the Rams getting a boost as they expect WR Nacua and LT Jackson to play on Thursday. On the other hand, the D-backs are dealing with a scare after Perdomo was hit in the helmet by a liner and had to exit the game. In other sports news, Arsenal picked up a big win in a vintage derby against Chelsea, while the NFL's Thursday night matchup is looking a little healthier for the Rams.
