The Carolina Panthers promote veteran cornerback Marco Wilson from the practice squad for Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers after injuries decimate their secondary. Only two healthy corners—Will Lee III and Chau Smith‑Wade—remain after starters Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, and fill‑in Akayleb Evans go on injured reserve. Wilson, a 37‑start veteran, offers crucial depth against a potent Packers passing attack led by Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. The Panthers also miss pass rusher Jaelan Phillips and left guard Damien Lewis, compounding the injury woes ahead of the road game.
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday ahead of the team’s Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Jordan Goodwin is emerging as a bright spot for the Phoenix Suns early in the 2026‑27 season. Despite a 1‑2 start and injuries to Oso Ighodaro and Mark Williams, Goodwin’s hustle, rebounding and playmaking have helped keep the team competitive, highlighted by his impact in the 131‑122 win over the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 24. The Suns struggle with three‑point shooting (31.9%, 20th) and offensive rebounding (27th), but Goodwin’s versatility—attacking gaps, creating assists and battling the boards—offers a template for the roster. Critics note inconsistent performances from Jalen Green, Devin Booker and others, underscoring the need to build around Goodwin’s energy.
The Suns are still being haunted by the Kevin Durant trade as former player Mikal Bridges is exactly what this team needs to be competitive in 2026.
Phoenix Suns and Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein, together with his wife Sydney, have launched a scholarship program in partnership with the nonprofit RAMMS to fund youth participation in the Jr. Suns and Jr. Mercury basketball leagues. The initiative covers registration fees, equipment, tickets and other resources for K‑8 students, aiming to lower the cost barrier for families across Arizona. The program underscores the teams' community commitment and opens registration through RAMMS.org, offering more kids the chance to learn basketball fundamentals and develop life‑skills on and off the court.
Rookie Gonzaga alum Graham Ike earns his first NBA start for the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 23, scoring 10 points in 12 minutes against Memphis and logging a 12‑point, 10‑rebound double‑double the next night versus Phoenix. Undrafted and signed to an Exhibit‑10 deal in June, Ike’s early minutes shine amid a rebuilding Warriors roster. The piece also notes fellow Zags Jalen Suggs’ 14‑point outing for Orlando before a knee bone bruise sidelines him for two weeks, and highlights Andrew Nembhard’s solid start with Indiana. Connections between Gonzaga’s Mark Few and Warriors’ Steve Kerr hint at more opportunities for Ike this season.
Game 3 of the Brewers‑Rays World Series set a new low for viewership, averaging 8.3 million on FOX and Fox Deportes—potentially the second‑least‑watched World Series game ever, just behind the 2023 Rangers‑Diamondbacks matchup. The blowout 10‑0 lead for Milwaukee contributed to the dip, which was amplified by competition from a high‑profile NFL Cowboys‑Eagles game and the WNBA Finals. Earlier games drew 12.26 million and 10.85 million viewers, while Game 4 rebounded to an estimated 13.5 million, suggesting the slump may be an outlier in an otherwise solid series.
Seven weeks into the 2026 NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams remain an enigma. After a surprising loss to the 49ers on an international road trip, they fell to playoff‑bound foes Denver, Buffalo and Arizona, while their only wins came against a battered Giants, an injury‑hit Eagles squad and a struggling Raiders team. Injuries have shuffled the quarterback room from Jaxson Dart to Jameis Winston to JJ McCarthy, and key playmakers have missed time. With a daunting stretch looming – Green Bay before Thanksgiving, then the Chiefs, 49ers, Cowboys and Seahawks – the Rams' true identity won’t emerge until the season’s final stretch, possibly after the bye week brings back players like Myles Garrett and Davante Adams.
Toumani Camara looks to be making a real leap for the Trail Blazers to leave the struggling Suns thinking about what might have been.
Gridiron Experts breaks down the final fantasy‑football trade window, highlighting low‑priced buy targets and overvalued sell‑offs for weeks 8‑14. The article warns against early‑season impulse trades like a Sam LaPorta‑Matthew Golden for Saquon Barkley swap and points to players whose workload exceeds their points: Chase Brown (CIN RB), Ollie Gordon II (MIA RB), DeVonta Smith (PHI WR) and Michael Wilson (ARI WR). Each prospect includes role, injury and depth‑chart context, plus timing tips around bye weeks. Readers learn which high‑volume backs and WRs to snag now and which underperformers to cash out before the deadline.
Here is the Cardinals' injury report ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Sean McVay confirms that defensive end Myles Garrett and rookie Terrance Ferguson remain on injured reserve and will not practice this week, delaying any chance they can join the 53-man roster before the 21‑day practice window closes. Both players must be activated within that period or be season‑ended, but the Rams have yet to open the window. With three games left before a Week 11 bye—against the Chargers, Commanders and Cardinals—their return likely targets Week 12 versus Green Bay. Meanwhile, veteran receiver Davante Adams is recovering faster than expected from hamstring surgery.
The Suns need to get their offense organized. They also need to stop giving opponents a second turn with the ball. Through Phoenix’s first three games, the rebounding numbers were particularly difficult to overlook. Opponents collected 43.3% of their own misses, while the Suns allowed a league-high 15.7 offensive rebounds and 23.0 second-chance points per […]

The Portland Trail Blazers have moved second‑year center Yang Hansen to their G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix, announcing the decision on X. Hansen, the 16th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, has logged just one appearance this season, scoring 5 points with 3 rebounds in 12 minutes against the Phoenix Suns. After split stints between the NBA squad and the Remix during his rookie year, the team formalizes his assignment to the G League for further development.
49ers 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey said his thigh issue from Sunday won’t be a concern going forward. “I’ll be fine. I’m not worried about it,” McCaffrey said, via NBC Sports. “It just sucks to me because that was one of those ones where I just felt like I could have got going . . . […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder confirm that forward Jalen Williams has had successful surgery to repair a fractured left fibula and dislocated ankle, with ligament reconstruction completed. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter of the Thunder's 112-108 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, and he will be re‑evaluated after the 2026‑27 regular season. With Williams sidelined and perimeter defender Cason Wallace out indefinitely due to a torn labrum, Oklahoma City relied on Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain, who started in Monday's victory over the Phoenix Suns.
The idea of Luke Kennard on the Suns was brilliant, but the reality after three games is that he can't have the desired impact if the team can't defend.
The Dallas Cowboys looked like they overused wide receiver George Pickens on Monday Night Football. Now he’s dealing with an NFL injury alongside safety Caleb Downs. Both on the eve of their Sunday showdown with the Arizona Cardinals too. Pickens has a shoulder and hamstring ailment, limiting him in practice Wednesday. The rookie defender Downs, […]

After a win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys head into a potential trap game against the Arizona Cardinals with several key players sidelined. Linebacker Dee Winters (calf) and return specialist KaVontae Turbin (ribs) are listed as DNP for Wednesday’s practice, while Caleb Downs, Quinnen Williams, George Pickens and Drew Shelton participated only limitedly. Marist Liufau and P.J. Locke are fully active and may be activated from IR this week. If Turbin remains out, Tyler Goodson will handle kickoffs and Jonathan Mingo will return punts.
Ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, the Chicago Bears are reportedly targeting multiple defensive players. ESPN insiders note interest in former Bear Khalil Mack (Los Angeles Chargers), DE Josh Sweat (Arizona Cardinals), and Titans' DE Jermaine Johnson II, while cornerback Alontae Taylor, a former teammate of DC Dennis Allen, emerges as a top corner option. The Bears also gauge interest in Jets' former Pro Bowler Nahshon Wright and scout D‑tackles Daron Payne (Washington) and Grover Stewart (Indianapolis). Coach Ben Johnson confirms GM Ryan Poles is “turning over every stone” to improve the roster. The article lists several league-wide sellers, suggesting a busy deadline for Chicago.
Oso Ighodaro's absence being felt this much by the Suns is a concern because the former second-round pick should not be this important to the team.
Bo Nix was pretty blunt and honest like usual in reflecting on his 62-yard TD run against the Cardinals, he doesn't pay attention to the critics
49ers 49ers released DB Jack Jones. 49ers traded a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Colts for DT DeForest Buckner. Bills Bills designated WR Tyrell Shavers to return from the PUP list.

After a 43‑point outburst against Golden State, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker sputters with just three points on 1‑of‑7 shooting in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Oct. 26. The article examines how the Suns’ new‑look lineup and a cramped schedule—only three games played by the team so far—are exposing inconsistencies in Booker’s game, citing his lack of three‑point attempts against Portland and his defeated body language. It also questions whether the Suns should consider a trade before the December 15 deadline, given Booker’s dip from his former All‑NBA form.
The Arizona Cardinals sit at 2‑5 and rank last in red‑zone efficiency (42.9%) despite a new Mike LaFleur offense. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, with a 3‑16 record as a starter in Arizona, posts solid completion rates (65%‑73%) but the unit averages only 20.3 points per game and lacks long passing plays—zero completions beyond 40 yards. Heavy pass volumes (up to 52 attempts) highlight a nonexistent running game, allowing defenses to pressure the pass. While tight end Trey McBride and receivers like Michael Wilson are productive, the offense stalls inside the 20‑yard line, forcing kicker Chad Ryland to shoulder scoring duties. The article asks whether the Cardinals should bench Brissett to spark a turnaround before the season’s final ten games.
