CBS Sports July 24 homepage features NFL backup QB rankings

CBS Sports July 24 coverage put NFL insurance plans in the spotlight, with the site featuring a ranking of backup quarterback situations for contenders with the strongest Super Bowl odds.

The sports hub also carried a busy mix of college football, MLB trade-deadline speculation, NBA free agency intrigue and fresh game highlights, according to CBS Sports listings.

What was on CBS Sports July 24?

CBS Sports’ homepage grouped live sports news, scoreboards, video clips and betting content in one front-page package. The July 24 lineup leaned heavily on MLB results and trade talk while also pushing NFL training camp, college football scheduling and NBA offseason stories.

In the main NFL slot, CBS Sports promoted an analysis of which Super Bowl hopefuls were best and worst covered if their starting quarterback were injured. The page summary said some contenders have solid backup options, while others face a rougher problem if the No. 1 passer goes down.

College football also grabbed a prominent place. CBS Sports featured a story on the SEC’s move to a nine-game schedule and framed the change as a factor that could reduce College Football Playoff hopes during what the site described as a title drought.

Baseball’s trade season was another major theme. CBS Sports highlighted a piece weighing whether the Mets should trade Francisco Lindor, along with a separate MLB rumors item saying the Phillies were looking at starting pitching before the deadline.

The NBA section included a story on prediction markets and LeBron James’ free agency decision, with CBS Sports saying those markets were cashing in while waiting for a move. The site also listed an NBA free agent tracker among its top navigation items.

MLB scores and highlights filled the board

CBS Sports’ MLB scoreboard showed the Braves beating the Padres 6-5, the Twins topping the Guardians 3-1 in 12 innings, the Blue Jays beating the Rays 3-1, the Diamondbacks defeating the Cardinals 10-6 and the Tigers edging the Royals 4-3.

The video section carried short highlight packages from several of those games. CBS Sports listed clips for Royals-Tigers, Diamondbacks-Cardinals, Rays-Blue Jays, Twins-Guardians and Padres-Braves, with runtimes ranging from under a minute to just over a minute.

Additional MLB highlight videos covered recent games including Tigers-Cubs, Marlins-Astros, Pirates-Yankees, Dodgers-Phillies, Orioles-Red Sox, Reds-Mariners, Giants-Royals, Mets-Brewers, Nationals-Rockies and Athletics-Diamondbacks.

Other sports and betting content appeared too

CBS Sports also promoted a college basketball schedule change, saying the Duke-Michigan game had been called off and that Duke would face Texas Tech instead at Madison Square Garden.

In NFL news links, CBS Sports listed the Ravens waiving rookie quarterback and Heisman finalist Diego Pavia before camp, and cited a report that Panthers player Nic Scourton tore his ACL on the first day of camp and would miss the season.

Soccer made the front page through a World Cup item saying former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp had been unveiled as Germany coach.

The video feed stretched beyond baseball. CBS Sports listed Round 1 highlights from the 3M Open in golf, plus WNBA highlight clips for Sky-Liberty, Lynx-Storm and Sun-Fever. The listed WNBA scores included Liberty 95, Sky 94; Lynx 86, Storm 76; and Fever 123, Sun 88.

The page also displayed sports betting picks and included a disclosure saying it may earn a commission if users click affiliate links and then sign up, deposit money or place a wager.
