Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was active for the game against San Francisco despite being limited in practice this week with an elbow injury. Smith suffered a contusion on his triceps, near his elbow, in last Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was limited in Seattle’s light practice on Tuesday but a full participant on Wednesday. The Seahawks were without starting running back Kenneth Walker III because of an oblique injury and also made veteran defensive end Frank Clark a healthy scratch. San Francisco was without starting right guard Spencer Burford because of a knee injury.

Isaiah Stevens had 20 points, seven assists and six rebounds to help Colorado State beat No. 8 Creighton 69-48 at the Hall of Fame Classic for its first win over a top-10 team in nearly 40 years.

Creighton shot just 28% from the field, including 6 of 29 from 3-point range, and went 8 for 13 at the free-throw line. Steven Ashworth hit a 3-pointer for the Bluejays that made it 13-all with 12:55 left in the first half but Stevens answered with a layup 41 seconds later to give Colorado State the lead for good. Baylor Scheierman led Creighton with 13 points, and Ryan Kalkbrenner scored 12.

Rodrygo, who is Black, says “The racists are always out there.” The player said many of the racist messages included photos and emoticons of monkeys or bananas. Rodrygo attracted attention during Tuesday’s match after getting into a discussion with Argentina players Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul during the delay caused by fights between fans, police and security guards in the stands of the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins are already under a microscope, their every move in team facilities captured by cameras for HBO’s “Hard Knocks” for the rest of the season.

Bronny James was on the court with his No. 23 Southern California teammates for pregame warmups for the second straight game, although he mostly watched from under the basket, did some rebounding and then took three shots from the corner. James went through warmups with his teammates before Sunday night’s home game against Brown for the first time this season after suffering a cardiac arrest in July. He is the son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. The Trojans faced Seton Hall in the second game of the inaugural Rady Children’s Invitational at UC San Diego.
