>>Woman In Packers’ Josh Jacobs Case Seeks Permanent Seal Of Evidence

(Green Bay, WI) — The former girlfriend of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is seeking to permanently seal evidence in his criminal case. Her attorneys filed the motion Tuesday, saying the request aims to protect her privacy. A judge temporarily sealed the evidence last week after Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property charges stemming from a May incident at his home. A permanent seal could prevent the NFL from obtaining surveillance video it is reportedly seeking as part of its investigation. Jacobs has been on the commissioner exempt list since August 30th and could be suspended once the league completes its review.

 

>>Seahawks QB Has “Very Unique” Injury

(Renton, WA) — Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold’s timetable to return from a glute injury remains up in the air after nearly a week. Head coach Mike Macdonald says the 29-year-old’s injury is “very unique,” but still not a long-term concern. Darnold didn’t practice with the team on Monday and isn’t expected to play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Drew Lock would start under center for Seattle.

 

>>Browns Place RB Sampson On IR

(Berea, OH) — The Browns are banged up entering the second week of the season. Cleveland placed running back Dylan Sampson on injured reserve with a knee injury on Tuesday. Sampson sustained the injury while returning a kickoff in the season opener against the Jaguars. He will miss at least the next four games and will be eligible to return in Week Six. Running back Jaleel McLaughlin was signed from the practice squad to fill the open spot on the active roster.

 

>>Longhorns’ Manning Apologizes For AI Video Reaction

(Austin, TX) — Texas quarterback Arch Manning is coming out on the wrong side of a viral video controversy. The Longhorns’ star apologized on social media for his “insensitive” reaction to an AI video that showed head coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. Manning called the clip “hilarious” on Monday, leading to widespread backlash. Top-ranked Texas looks to stay unbeaten this week when it hosts UT San Antonio.

 

>>Ohio State Coach Hints At Changes After Texas Loss

(Columbus, OH) — Ohio State football coach Ryan Day is apparently considering changes after his team’s stunning loss to top-ranked Texas. Day said that he and his staff must make “some hard decisions” after the sixth-ranked Buckeyes blew a 20-point fourth quarter lead in Austin this past Saturday. The coach didn’t elaborate on what those decisions might be, but said his team must “win the fourth quarter” in big games. OSU hosts Kent State this Saturday.

 

>>Red Wings Promote Shawn Horcoff To Interim GM

Prior to becoming assistant GM in 2022, Horcoff spent six seasons as Detroit’s director of player development and three seasons as assistant director of player personnel.

 

>>Wild Sign Head Coach To Multiyear Contract

(Minneapolis, MN) — Minnesota Wild head coach John Hynes will lead his team into training camp with a new contract. The team announced that they’ve signed the 51-year-old to a multiyear deal.

>>NHL Washington Capitals Star Ovechkin Appears In Russian Political Ad

(Washington, DC) — NHL star Alexander Ovechkin is appearing in a political ad this week for the ruling United Russia Party, a group aligned with President Vladimir Putin. The Washington Capitals captain was seen in the background of a video promoting the United Russia Party ahead of the country’s parliamentary election. He stood with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian military personnel. A spokesperson for the Capitals told The Hill that Ovechkin, who is a Russian citizen who lives in Moscow during the offseason, was asked by Russia to participate in the video campaign. The team noted “his focus and ours is on the season ahead and the continued impact he makes on the ice and in our city.”

 

>>NBA Officials Like Climate Pledge Arena

(Seattle, WA) — Seattle should find out by the end of the year if it’s getting an NBA expansion team. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says operational groups visited Climate Pledge Arena. He says it’s a state-of-the-art facility that would only need minor modifications to be ready for an NBA team. T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas needs major work. Silver says that puts Seattle ahead of Las Vegas in the planning. Team owners will make the final decision.
