This is the fourth time Dart has been evaluated for a concussion since the preseason.
>>Report: Parsons Trade Included Poison Pill
(Undated) — More details are coming out on a blockbuster trade in the NFL. ESPN reports the Micah Parsons deal involving the Packers and Cowboys included a “poison pill” condition which prevents the star pass rusher from playing for the Eagles in the immediate future. If Green Bay decides to trade Parsons to an NFC East team, then it would owe Dallas a first-round pick in 2028.
>>Paul Tagliabue Dead At Age 84
(Chevy Chase, MD) — Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue is dead at the age of 84. Tagliabue passed away in Chevy Chase, Maryland from apparent heart failure complicated by Parkinson’s disease.

>>Trump Takes In Commanders/Lions Game
(Landover, MD) — President Trump took part in NFL Sunday. Trump arrived at Northwest Stadium in Maryland on Sunday to watch the Washington Commanders take on the Detroit Lions as part of the NFL’s “Salute to Service,” honoring military veterans. Trump read an oath for members of the military to recite as part of an on-field ceremony during a break in the game, along with sitting in the announcer’s booth during the third quarter. An ESPN report over the weekend says the President reportedly wants the Commanders to name the team’s new stadium after him. The visit marked the first time a president has gone to an NFL regular season game since Jimmy Carter did in 1978.

He is one of only five men to be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as both player and coach. In 1996, Wilkens was named to the NBA 50th Anniversary Team, and in 2021 he was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. Wilkens held the record for most regular season coaching wins in NBA history until 2010, currently sitting at third all-time.
