>>NFL Week 10 Preview
(Undated) — Week 10 of the NFL regular season kicks off with a pair of division rivals writing another chapter for their history books. The New York Giants are hosting the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football from MetLife Stadium. Big Blue is leading the NFC East at 5-2-and-1 with JJ McCarthy set to make his first home start since being acquired from Minnesota. Week 10 continues on Sunday with the Detroit Lions battling the New England Patriots from Munich, the Green Bay Packers are hosting the Minnesota Vikings, and Fernando Mendoza makes his first career start when the Las Vegas Raiders host the Seattle Seahawks.
>>Broncos Back Out Of Daiyan Henley Trade With Chargers
(Denver, CO) — The Broncos are getting cold feet. The team announced early Thursday morning that the deal to acquire linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Chargers “will not be finalized.” Denver didn’t give a reason for backing out of the trade. Los Angeles was slated to receive a fourth-round pick in April’s draft along with a fifth-rounder in 2028.
>>Bengals Head Coach Apologizes For Botched Trade
(Cincinnati, OH) — Bengals head coach Zac Taylor expressed his regret after failing to acquire edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie from the Philadelphia Eagles. Taylor issued a statement on behalf of de facto general manager Duke Tobin saying they are the ones to blame for the deal falling through. Cincinnati chose to withdraw its trade offer after finding out that it would forfeit a 2027 third round compensatory pick if the move was finalized.
>>Ex-NFL Coach Rex Ryan Arrested In Nashville
(Nashville, TN) — Former NFL head coach and ESPN analyst Rex Ryan is facing multiple charges after allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians in Nashville. Nashville Police say Ryan was making a right turn in his pickup truck when he allegedly struck the two victims, who later confronted him at a red light. The pedestrians told police Ryan drove away after an argument without exchanging information, but they photographed his license plate. Ryan turned himself in to authorities Wednesday morning following the incident last Thursday. The 63-year-old faces six charges, including leaving the scene of an accident.
>>Chiefs To Stick With Struggling Kicker
(Kansas City, MO) — Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will keep his job despite ongoing struggles. Head coach Andy Reid said that he’s not making a change for Sunday’s game versus the Atlanta Falcons. Butker has missed field goal tries in each of the last three games and is just 12-of-19 for the season, prompting the Chiefs to sign veteran Justin Tucker to the practice squad.
>>Jazz Forward To Miss Month With Hand Injury
(Salt Lake City, UT) — The Utah Jazz will play without star forward Lauri Markkanen for at least the next month. The team announced that Markkanen suffered a non-displaced fracture in his right hand this past Friday. His absence leaves rookie Darryn Peterson as Utah’s only healthy starter from Opening Night. Markkanen is averaging 18 points and nearly seven rebounds per game.
>>Tarik Skubal Reportedly Talking With Dodgers, Four Other Teams
(Los Angeles, CA) — The Dodgers are reportedly among five teams showing interest in free-agent left-hander Tarik Skubal. The Cubs, Mets, Padres and Blue Jays have also reached out to Skubal’s camp. New York already has a meeting set next week.
PCA, Alex Bregman Named To All-MLB Teams
(Chicago, IL) — Two members of the Cubs are racking up the awards. Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong earned a spot on the All-MLB first team, while third baseman Alex Bregman was named to the second team. Both players previously picked up a Gold Glove for their respective positions. PCA is also a finalist for the National League’s MVP Award, which will be announced tonight.
>>MLB Announces Cy Young Award Winners
(Undated) — Major League Baseball revealed which pitchers were at the top of their game in 2026. Milwaukee Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski and New York Yankees starter Cam Schlittler were named unanimous Cy Young Award winners. Misiorowski finished first in the National League ahead of Cristopher Sanchez of the Philadelphia Phillies and Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves. Schlittler won the American League award after Dylan Cease of the Toronto Blue Jays finished second and Parker Messick of the Cleveland Guardians was third.
>>Astros Hire Ausmus As New Manager
(Houston, TX) — The Houston Astros are turning to one of their former players as the ballclub’s new manager. New York Yankees bench coach Brad Ausmus was hired to replace Joe Espada, who was fired after the Stros were swept out of the American League Wild Card Series. The 57-year-old Ausmus played ten of his 18 big-league seasons with Houston. This will be his third managerial job after stints with the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers.
>>Austin Championship Preview
(Austin, TX) — The PGA Tour competes at the Fazio Canyons Course for the first time when the inaugural Austin Championship tees off on Thursday. Blades Brown is hoping to earn his second straight victory after taking home last week’s World Wide Technology Championship.
