Get to know Falcons rookie Bijan Robinson in the latest Sports Insider — with the happiness he carries while noting his blessings defining his personality, according to some of the people who have been close to him for years — and how it gives him a lift even when coping with challenges.
This week’s 41-page edition also catches up with some familiar faces with Peach State ties: Justin Fields, as the Chicago Bears take stock of the areas where he needs to improve in order to take his quarterbacking game to the next level in the NFL; Calvin Ridley, as the Jacksonville Jaguars receiver says he has no rust in returning to action; and Champ Bailey, who eagerly awaits his return to Washington to be honored for his years as a two-way standout there.
Also, see why former Braves first-rounder Adam Wainwright doesn’t want any favorable treatment as he pursues the 200th win of his career while the season nears a close for his St. Louis Cardinals.
Plus: The case for an asterisk on several single-season WNBA records being set this year; where Lionel Messi stands ahead of his next scheduled MLS match, against Atlanta United; which of baseball’s contenders have looked strong in recent Septembers (and the ones who haven’t); how two former NFL players tried to take on an endurance footrace in the mountains; the key factors to the remaining Week 1 NFL games on the schedule Sunday and Monday — and much more to read all week long in this week’s Sports Insider.
