FOOTBALL
NFL: Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Tyson Campbell was activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots at Wembley Stadium.
The Jaguars secondary has struggled without Campbell, who missed the last five games because of a hamstring injury.
Campbell signed a four-year, $76.5 million contract extension before training camp and played well in the season opener.
Also Saturday, the Jags elevated running back Jake Funk and defensive end Joe Gaziano to the active roster.
• The Tennessee Titans placed wide receiver Treylon Burks on injured reserve and promoted quarterback Trevor Siemian from the practice squad, putting Will Levis’ status against Buffalo in question.
Coach Brian Callahan hinted Friday that injured reserve was Burks’ likely destination after the 18th overall pick in the 2022 draft hurt a knee this week in practice. Callahan said Burks would miss “some time no matter what.”
The Titans (1-4) had listed Levis as questionable after the second-year quarterback was limited at practice Friday. Levis is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his right throwing shoulder, suffered Sept. 30. He threw for just 95 yards in last week’s loss to Indianapolis.
HOCKEY
NHL: Drake Batherson had two goals and an assist, and the Ottawa Senators handed Tampa Bay its first loss of the season with a 5-4 victory in Ottawa, Ontario.
Josh Norris, Brady Tkachuk and Noah Gregor also scored for Ottawa (3-2-0), and Anton Forsberg made 25 saves. Jake Sanderson collected three assists.
• Andrew Copp scored twice, Alex Lyon made 37 saves and the Detroit Red Wings beat the winless Predators in Nashville, Tennessee.
• Matt Duchene scored the first two goals, Jake Oettinger won his first start since signing a big contract extension, and the Stars beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 in Dallas in their first meeting since last season’s Western Conference Final.
SOCCER
GERMANY: Harry Kane ended his brief goal drought with a hat trick to help Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart 4-0 in the Bundesliga.
Kane, who hadn’t scored in four games – three for Bayern and one for England – missed good chances before finally ending his barren spell with a shot from distance in the 57th minute.
ENGLAND: Arsenal blew a chance to move atop the Premier League, absorbing a shocking 2-0 loss to Bournemouth.
Meanwhile, Manchester United picked up only its third league win by beating Brentford, 2-1.
Fourth-placed Aston Villa tightened up the top of the standings, moving within a point of first-place Liverpool and level with Arsenal after beating Fulham, 3-1. Brighton is three points off the pace after winning at Newcastle, 1-0.
AUTO RACING
NASCAR CUP SERIES: Christopher Bell won the pole in qualifying in Las Vegas for the opening race of the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs.
Bell turned a lap at 185.344 mph in a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing to take the top starting spot Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Bell is one of eight drivers attempting to earn a spot in the Cup Series championship finale.
Tyler Reddick, the regular season champion, qualified second in a Toyota for 23XI Racing. Alex Bowman, who lost his spot in the playoff field when his car failed post-race inspection last Sunday at Charlotte and he was disqualified, qualified fourth.
Reigning Cup champion Ryan Blaney will start last after a crash early in his 20-minute practice session ended his Saturday.
FORMULA ONE: Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the United States Grand Prix sprint race in Austin, Texas, to earn his first victory of any kind in nearly four months and keep McLaren’s Lando Norris from chipping away at his lead in the Formula 1 season championship.
Norris kept Verstappen in sight for 18 of 19 laps at the Circuit of the Americas after he launched from fourth to second out of the race start. But Norris made a costly mistake in the first turn of the final lap that allowed Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz to slip into second.
Finishing third instead of second cost Norris a critical point in the title chase. He now trails Verstappen by 54 points with six grand prix and two sprint races left in the season.
