College football: Vanderbilt defensive backs Tae Daley and Frank Coppet, both 18, were shot in what police are calling an “ill-conceived plan” to recover a teammate’s stolen cellphone in Nashville, Tenn. Daley suffered a noncritica­l gunshot wound to his leg, and Coppet received noncritica­l birdshot wounds to his arms. Detectives were working to identify and arrest the shooters.

NFL: An Arizona judge ordered Vikings wide receiver Michael Floyd to serve one day in jail for failing alcohol tests that he blamed on fermented tea. Floyd started his additional jail time Monday night in Phoenix before concluding his final five days of house arrest.

NHL: The Stars bought out of the final year of goalie Antti Niemi’s contract, a plan that will spread the $3 million over two seasons for an annual salary-cap hit of $1.5 million. Niemi was due to make $4.5 million after going 12-12-4 with a 3.3 GAA in 37 games last season. Niemi became expendable after Ben Bishop was acquired in a trade that will likely make him the starter with Kari Lehtonen as the backup. The Stars also acquired veteran defenseman Marc Methot from the Golden Knights for a prospect and a draft pick.
