Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (chest) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 29.
SOURCE: Seahawks.com
Why it Matters: Price has a chance to return to action Monday night, but with Zach Charbonnet (knee) potentially making his debut and Emanuel Wilson and George Holani also in the mix, it is going to be hard to know which Seattle back to trust. Fantasy owners with more reliable options should probably shy away from the Seattle backfield until a pecking order becomes better established.

Daniel Farke wasn't having it that Leeds United were the favourites for this game but there was nothing he could do about the level of expectation around his club going into it.
Last season Leeds drew this fixture 1-1 and then in April claimed their first league win at Old Trafford since 1981. Being truly competitive in the Premier League in both the post-promotion campaign and so far this term allowed supporters not only to dream of Elland Road glory on Sunday afternoon but perhaps even to expect it. Throw in the narrative surrounding the visitors given all that has transpired there of late and at the very least it felt like a big chance.
Yet if reality was to meet expectation, the first half did not make it immediately obvious. A frenetic first few minutes was as anticipated. Ethan Ampadu, leading the team out for the 100th time as captain, was at the heart of an aggressive start. He set the tone by levelling Carlos Baleba to concede one free-kick, then caught Bryan Mbeumo on the ankle to concede another, somehow without seeing yellow.
Neither Bruno Fernandes nor Gabriel Gudmundsson got away with their early transgressions, however. So it was tetchy and fractious, but the play that was punctuated by fouls was largely in the home side's favour. Leeds saw plenty of the ball, some of it in the opposition territory, and though there were dangerous-looking deliveries into the box, only Nico Elvedi's header - saved by Senne Lammens - threatened to open the scoring.
At the other end Mbeumo arrived completely unmarked to head Youri Tielemans' scooped cross past James Trafford's left-hand post. It was a let-off as much as a warning but there was very little between the teams in a first half full of huffing and puffing and largely devoid of magic.

White Sox's postseason hopes might rely on two breakout pitchers originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago White Sox are 76-73 entering play on Monday, September 14. They're just 0.5 games up on the Cleveland Guardians and fittingly begin a series against their division rivals in Cleveland to get the week started.
If they struggle during this series, not only could the White Sox lose their AL Central lead, but they might even drop out of the postseason field entirely. This is a pivotal series, and the end of the season is still very important to Chicago.
One AL scout told ESPN's Jesse Rogers that the White Sox can be a "sleeper" postseason team if two pitchers can perform at a high level.
"If the White Sox can get just a little starting pitching, they could still make some noise," an AL scout told Rogers. "They have a bullpen. That's always a need in the playoffs. And they can hit home runs. They just haven't lately. I like them as a sleeper, **** uming [Davis] Martin or [Sean] Burke are good."

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The Arizona State football team took to the road for the first time in 2026 and lost, 48-20, to Texas A&M in front of 107,523 fans on Saturday, Sept. 12. It was the largest crowd the Sun Devils have ever played before.
ASU stuck close and only trailed 24-20 heading into the fourth quarter, but unraveled in the final 15 minutes. The Sun Devils committed four turnovers, leading to 24 points for the nationally ranked Aggies (No. 9 Coaches Poll, No. 10 AP).
A turning point came with ASU trailing 31-20 with 8:38 left. The Sun Devils had a chance to cut the deficit to one score after the Aggies fumbled a punt snap, allowing ASU to take over at the Texas A&M 34. But on the first play, quarterback Cutter Boley was pressured, causing the ball to squirt out of his hand and into those of the Aggies' Marco Jones, who ran it back for a touchdown that made it 38-20.
It was over after that.
"We're going to be a ****** of a team. We know that," Boley said. "We know who we are. We know what we've got. Just another day in the office. Go back to work. All of our guys believe in each other. We trust each other, so we're going to go right back to work because we know what we've got."

Breakout loading. At least that's what the Dallas Cowboys hope after they inked tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford and receiver Ryan Flournoy to a pair of extensions this week. In a break from the norm, the Cowboys went out on a limb and played the speculation market. Channeling his inner oilman, owner Jerry Jones has put his money where his mouth is and bet big on breakouts.
In previous years, it was the Cowboys waiting until after a breakout was achieved before extensions were offered. Terence Steele was signed to a five-year, $82,500,000 deal after his breakout season in 2022. Jaylon Smith was regrettably signed to a five-year, $63,750,000 extension after his breakout season in 2018. And even Dak Prescott, Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland got signed after already establishing themselves high among the NFL hierarchy.
It doesn't take Wallstreet stockbroker to know investing after something has already blown up has its drawbacks. Sure, seeing success insulates from risk, but it also means investors are buying high. Good deals are made through speculation. They come with risk since they're predictive rather than proven, but they also come at a much lower price and with a much higher upside.
After displaying significant growth in 2025, Flournoy has been a media and fan favorite to breakout in a big way this season. Signing a one-year, $6M extension, Flournoy retains his Cowboydom through the 2027 season. This is important because if George Pickens leaves after the current season, Flournoy ensures a level of continuity amongst the top receiver ranks.
Sources: The #cowboys and WR Ryan Flournoy have agreed to a 1-year contract extension worth up to $6M.

Flournoy is coming off a career year with 40 catches for 475 and 4 TDs. He’s expected to have an even bigger role in the offense this season as the solidified WR3 and now gets… pic.twitter.com/p04Q0S80A9

After examining the biggest causes for concern in the 2026 season, let's spin positive and discuss the reasons to be optimistic about the Green Bay Packers this year as they look to mount a Super Bowl bid.
Here are the five most important factors that should give fans confidence entering the new season:
Matt LaFleur said it best when asked for the umpteenth time this year what Love can do to take 'the next step' in 2026.
He replied with more than a hint of frustration: "I get so confused by that question every time because I think he's an elite player, so I don't know. I'll let you guys figure out what the next step is."
Green Bay's head coach said he knew Love was in that top tier of quarterbacks in the second half of 2023, which is certainly when it all seemed to click for him. After an injury-riddled 2024, Love set the benchmark for which his future seasons will be measured by in 2025.

LeBron James had several options as a free agent before landing a two-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. Before James' 24th NBA season, there were rumors about which team he would join after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers.
Teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors were linked as potential landing spots. The Minnesota Timberwolves were also in the mix in his free agency decision. James could have joined Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball and Rudy Gobert, forming a dynamic superteam in the Western Conference.
According to The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski, James was close to signing a deal with the Timberwolves. Krawczynski revealed on CLNS Media's Celtics Daily with Bobby Manning that one major move changed everything.

"There's a very good chance that if they don't make that trade, LeBron James is in Minnesota this year, and not Philadelphia," Krawczynski said.

Florida running back Jadan Baugh ran for 160 yards and three touchdowns in the Gators' season-opening win over FAU on Saturday night.
He spoke to the press after the game and discussed his 61-yard run, the benefits of playing at a lighter weight and the importance of Florida's perimeter blocking. He also explained the Heisman poses he struck after scoring and what he saw while breaking into the open field.
The junior also shared his thoughts on Aaron Philo's first start, Florida's faster offensive operation and his growing role as a leader.
Here's everything Baugh had to say.
It felt great to me, honestly. Just being in The Swamp, seeing the fans and hearing how loud it gets. Early in the game, it got very loud, and I looked back at the stands like, "Wow, that's crazy."

After months of speculation, the New England Patriots finally pulled the trigger in late August and traded Kayshon Boutte. The fourth-year wide receiver was sent to the Houston Texans in a package deal that included a 2028 seventh-round draft choice as well as a player the organization has apparently coveted since he entered the league as a sixth-round draft selection the previous year.
And so, Jaylen Reed now finds himself a member of the Patriots.

If Carolina Panthers fans are being honest with themselves, they know that their team was not as good as their 8-9 record last season might have indicated.
We know this based on several trends that are going to be difficult to replicate in 2026—especially the number of one-score games that the Panthers wound up winning. Another area that'll be tough to keep going is their success on fourth down.
According to ESPN research, the Panthers led the league in scoring on drives with a fourth-down conversation last season.
The Panthers led the NFL in fourth-down conversions with 27 last season. They also scored a league-high 129 points on drives with a fourth-down conversion, 26 more than any other team (Rams, 103).
Some may credit head coach Dave Canales and his playcalling, but we're more inclined to believe that starting quarterback Bryce Young is the biggest reason for their success in this area. Young's game-winning drives get the most attention, but his clutch factor manifests in more than just one way—and this is one of them.

English club cricketer and endurance athlete Sam Bodoano has completed an extraordinary 62-mile (100km) run from Lord's Cricket Ground in London to Valley End Cricket Club in Woking, Surrey, in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the longest run-up before bowling a cricket ball.

Bodoano, 22, from Worplesdon near Guildford, Surrey, began his run at Lord's on Saturday and completed the gruelling journey around 14 hours later at Valley End Cricket Club on Sunday. His challenge culminated in him bowling the opening delivery of an 11-a-side match to his father.
To meet the requirements for the record attempt, Bodoano had to complete the entire 100km journey in full cricket whites while carrying a cricket ball. He then had to take part in a cricket match and deliver the opening ball. While Bodoano has completed the challenge and believes he has surpassed the existing mark, Guinness World Records has not yet officially recognised the achievement. The organisation's evidence review and verification process is still under way.

A Guinness World Records spokesperson said the application would need to go through the formal evidence review process before the record could be officially confirmed. The review can take around two weeks, depending on the evidence submitted.

If confirmed, Bodoano's run-up would comfortably surpass the previous men's record of 15 miles. The current holder of the record for the longest bowling run-up (male) is Tom Dunn, who ran 15 miles (24km) from Bethnal Green, in east London, to Wandsworth Common, in south London, in August 2024.
Despite the physical demands of the challenge, Bodoano completed the run for a charitable cause, raising almost £6,000 (Rs 7,64,513) for The Ruth Strauss Foundation, a cancer charity founded by former England captain Sir Andrew Strauss.

"I'm very tired, I lost a lot of sleep, but it was all for an amazing cause," Bodoano said.

An experienced endurance athlete, Bodoano has previously competed in the England Hockey Men's Premier League, completed the London Marathon and Ironman Wales, and finished third in a 112-mile backyard ultra-marathon. He also works as a running coach and content creator.

Andy Ruiz Jr.'s life changed forever on June 1, 2019, when he knocked out Anthony Joshua at Madison Square Garden and became boxing's unified heavyweight champion.
In some ways, it changed for the better. He had accomplished his lifelong dream and was financially set for life.
In other ways, however, it changed for the worse. An out-of-shape Ruiz put in an underwhelming performance in the rematch and subsequently lost his belts six months later.
"Leading up to the rematch, [there were] things [where] I should've just been more disciplined," Ruiz said this week on "The Ariel Helwani Show." "I should've taken care of myself a little bit more. I should've been thinking more of the future, not just the present. Once God gave me what I've been asking for, what I've been wishing for, I kind of went over here [and] I was dragged over there — I kind of lost track of the whole mission."
Ruiz had the opportunity to repeat his win over Joshua, which not only would've cemented his legacy in heavyweight boxing, but also opened the door for more major paydays. It would've been an inspiration for his Mexican and Mexican-American fan base.

Fantasy Football draft season is in full swing. Those with teams are perusing rosters and stats to see what players are worth selecting. The quarterback position creates a great divide. Many believe it pays to wait because there won't be that big of a difference over the course of a season. Those who have selected Josh Allen in recent years would beg to disagree. What quarterbacks are worth a pick and when? And for leagues that go with a team quarterback, will look at the overall picture.
Jacoby Brissett and his QB room is worthy of a mid-to-late round pick. The Cardinals have a wealth of receivers, starting with Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride. Those two alone will catch a ton of footballs and should find the end zone.
Lord, no. Hard pass.
So, Lamar Jackson is going to be more of a pocket passer? Does that mean the days of his 1,000-yard rushing seasons are finito? If so, he goes from a high pick to a mid-rounder. The question is whether Jackson can keep his mind on throwing the football and not take off.
Josh Allen is a must pick even at age 30. He can deliver points with his arm and legs.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Nebraska fans and fans across the country.
Last week, we settled the sellout streak as almost 50/50 unsettled. And there we leave it until next season most likely where winning, losing or somewhere in between will re-stoke the argument until the 2027 off-season leaves us looking for arguments until that season commences.
This week, let's find an answer to a more peaceful subject – where will you and do you usually watch Husker football? Are you making a day of it in and out of Memorial Stadium? Are you bellying up to the bar with big screen hi-def televisions entertaining you with Husker football and multiple other games? Are you watching at home in the living room or man cave which played a key part of your home purchase?

Sunderland edged Fulham 1-0 at the Stadium of Light in Premier League action, with the only goal of the game arriving in the 75th minute. Wilson Isidor broke the deadlock with a right-footed finish from the centre of the box, after Habib Diarra had supplied the **** ist.
The home side were not dominant in possession, ending the match with 43% to Fulham's 57%, but they were more threatening in the final third. Sunderland registered 11 shots and three on target, compared with Fulham's six attempts and no shots on target, according to the match statistics.
Chance quality also leaned slightly towards Sunderland, who finished with 1.11 expected goals against Fulham's 0.36. The hosts also matched their opponents on corners, with three each, as they made their pressure count when it mattered most.
For Sunderland, the goal marked a first in the competition for Isidor, while Diarra registered his first **** ist. It was enough to secure all three points in a narrow but efficient victory.

GM Nolan Teasley is probably going to have some opportunity to pull off a trade or two over these next few days. At the very least, the Vikings' cap ***** e and draft picks will allow for an addition(s) if a compelling trade possibility emerges.
Teams around the NFL are moving into a tough weekend. What has been a 90-player roster is going to get shrunk down to 53 players. As Kevin Patra points out, there are going to be close to 1,200 players who are told to pack their bags. Pretty reasonably, teams will seek to add value out of player departures when possible, trying to pull off a trade before needing to accept a cut. Could the Vikings actually accommodate some swaps?
At least a few things are needed to pull off a trade.
Most obvious, perhaps, is that there needs to be at least a pair of teams willing to pull off a deal. During cut weekend, there's going to be no shortage of sellers for the Vikings to consider. Every single team has dozens of players who are getting shown the door; extracting value by recouping a pick(s) for one of these players is a better outcome than moving on for no value coming back. So, that end of things shouldn't be an issue.

It appears that the college career of Tre Holloman will continue. On Thursday, it was reported by On3 that Holloman has committed to Grand Canyon of the Mountain West Conference. Holloman played last season for NC State after starting his career with Michigan State basketball.
Last summer, Holloman became one of the most polarizing figures in recent MSU history when he shocked Spartan fans by transferring to NC State to play for Will Wade. Holloman had a solid season for the Wolfpack, and was able to parlay that into a roster spot with the Orlando Magic's NBA Summer League team, where he got to play with Jase Richardson one more time.
Now, Holloman appears to be getting one more season of college basketball, as long as the rules hold up for fifth year players to be eligible this year in the increasingly confusing saga of player eligibility in college sports.

One of the things that Luka Doncic's minicamp for his Los Angeles Lakers teammates allowed them to do is visit and explore Doncic's native country of Slovenia. Outside of basketball and training, several activities were planned, including golf, a bicycle race and a rowing session on Lake Bled.
Forward Jarred Vanderbilt apparently liked his experience in Slovenia. In fact, he told a reporter there that he would like to visit the nation again.
"I would love to [return]," Vanderbilt said. "Not gonna lie, I didn't know much about it before I came here, but it's definitely a spot I will revisit."
In fact, Vanderbilt said he wants to obtain a passport.
"I was looking to get my Slovenian passport," he said. "So we'll see. Might be part Slovenian."

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams are a good pairing. Both of them are perfectionists and Williams is striving to be the best version of himself in training camp and this season.
It has not been perfect so far, but Williams is focused on being able to learn from his mistakes throughout training camp, joint practices and the preseason instead of dwelling on them. That way, the Bears offense can be at their best when the regular season starts.
"I think I've done a good job taking the coaching," Williams said. "Taking hard coaching, good coaching, whatever the case may be. I think that's how I'm judging it. Just being able to go out there and execute. There's going to be mistakes and things like that, but it's being able to go back into the film room, learn from them. And then when it becomes game day when it comes to all that, we're executing on a high clip."
In his first year with Johnson, Williams was playing a lot better than he was as a rookie. He was seeing the field better, making better decisions despite a lower completion percentage and was sacked far less which is also attributable to the improved offensive line.
However, the offensive line is not perfect. They struggled against defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence in Chicago's joint practice against the Cincinnati Bengals. There are new pieces on the line including center Garrett Bradbury and whoever wins the left tackle battle, so they will need time to build that chemistry. Luckily, Chicago has some time before the season opener against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 13.

Newcastle United are keen on bringing New York Red Bulls forward Julian Hall to the St James' Park club, according to Ben Jacobs. Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle wants the Magpies to make more quality signings, and the 18-year-old has emerged as a target. However, the Toons will face competition from the likes of RB Leipzig, Atletico Madrid and Hull City for the services of the teenage sensation. Hall has nine goals and four ****** ists in his last 19 starts for the Major League Soccer club and Newcastle admire his huge potential.
The Newcastle target made history after becoming the second-youngest player to make his MLS debut aged 15 years and 190 days in June 2024. Hall became the youngest player to score an MLS hat-trick in May and plenty of European clubs are hoping to lure him away from North America. A move to the Premier League could appeal to the American, who was named in the MLS All-Star last month, and the Magpies will hope to pip fierce competition to his services.
The Toons have lost key players this summer and are desperate to make quality additions before the summer transfer deadline.
They have spent £174 million so far this summer on the signings of Bazoumana Toure, Aladji Bamba, Amar Dedic, Lukas Hornicek, Sean Steur and Ewen Jaouen.
The fans still want more, with Guinea international midfielder Ousmane Diabate closing in on a move from Genclerbirligi.

Cristian Perez will likely call himself "UFC fighter" come Wednesday.
At Dana White's Contender Series 88 on Tuesday, Perez (15-2) finished a game opponent in Logan Paxton (10-2) with punches at 1:06 of Round 2. The lightweight bout took place at Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
The first round was competitive, with Paxton showcasing some aggression and power. Perez remained level-headed, focused on the ***** ignment. In Round 2, Perez put Paxton down with a big left hook and finished the fight with a pair of hammerfists.
Perez, 27, redeems himself after a failed DWCS attempt vs. Manoel Sousa in 2025. The fight was a back-and-forth banger, but Perez was finished midway through Round 3. The loss was the only one in his most recent eight appearances.
Paxton, 31, has an eight-fight winning streak snapped.

Returning to Boston, a Motivated Connor Clifton Looks to Bolster Bruins' Defense originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The last two seasons for the Bruins have seen the team miss the playoffs or lose in the first round. Something was needed to give the team a spark. How about the return of an old teammate?
After a run with the Sabres and Penguins, Connor Clifton looks to once again create chaos with the Bruins, a team he spent his first five seasons with, signing a two-year contract with a $2.25 million cap hit.
The defenseman from New Jersey, a member of the ECAC All-Tournament Team at Quinnipiac, joined the Providence Bruins in 2017 before signing an entry-level deal with the Bruins in 2018. A fixture on the third defense pairing, Clifton became a menace on the ice in the early 2020s.
In those five seasons in Boston, Clifton had 10 goals and 33 **** ists. He accumulated a career-high 23 points during the 2022-23 season, during which he led the Bruins in hits (208). Clifton led the Penguins with 180 hits last season.
