Oh yeah, we got some rescheduled mid-afternoon Sunday baseball action going today… With Friday’s game being rained out, the Rays and Guardians play Game 5 today on what would have been a travel day. It is a 4:08 p.m. Central start time on TBS. Discuss it here.
Steelers safety Jaquan Brisker exits the third quarter of the Oct. 18 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a hard hit on quarterback Jalon Daniels forces him into an incomplete pass. Brisker, who recorded five tackles, clutched his left thigh/groin and was briefly tended to before heading to the team’s medical tent. The Steelers had just halted a Buccaneers drive that ended with Chase McLaughlin’s 33‑yard field goal. The loss adds to the secondary’s injury woes, joining Buccaneers' Jamel Dean’s ankle and Jalen Ramsey’s broken wrist, while rookies Daylen Everette and Robert Spears‑Jennings see increased action.

Steelers safety Jaquan Brisker leaves the third quarter of the Oct. 18 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a groin injury. ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reports he is listed as questionable to return, though an update later notes he re‑enters the game. The article tracks the injury timeline and its impact on Pittsburgh’s defense.
During the Steelers’ 13-3 halftime deficit against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 23, head coach Mike McCarthy twisted his ankle while heading to the locker room and spent the break in the medical tent. Despite the injury, he returns to coach the second half. Pittsburgh also loses cornerback Brandin Echols to a hamstring, while five other players—including Keeanu Benton and Pat Freiermuth—remain questionable but suit up. Buccaneers’ DK Metcalf clears a late‑week illness as the game continues.
During Week 7 at the Buccaneers‑Steelers game, Pittsburgh’s head coach Mike McCarthy sprains an ankle just before halftime. He limps to the blue medical tent and spends the entire break receiving treatment, missing the usual locker‑room talk. The Bucs led 13‑3 at the break, and McCarthy, now in his second season with the Steelers, says he’ll coach through the pain in the second half. The incident marks the most serious sideline injury for a coach since Sean Payton’s 2011 collapse.
It's not too often an NFL head coach spends time in the blue medical tent, but that's what happened for Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike McCarthy during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Chris Boswell ties the Steelers' all‑time field‑goal record with his 309th make in a second‑half kick against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, matching Gary Anderson. The veteran is 9‑of‑12 on field goals (75%) and perfect on extra points this season. Boswell, a 2015 Steelers addition and two‑time Pro Bowler, signed a four‑year, $28 million extension in May, reshaping his 2026 cap hit. He also holds the franchise marks for longest field goal (60 yards, 2025) and most in a season (41, 2024), and needs 54 points to become the Steelers’ all‑time leading scorer.
The Steelers stumble in the first half against the Buccaneers, committing turnovers, failing to move the ball and watching rookie QB Jalon Daniels carve up the defense. Chris Boswell even misses a 48‑yard field goal, leaving Pittsburgh with a shutout at halftime. The live‑update thread then pivots to a two‑minute drill that finally gets the Steelers on the board, setting up an intriguing second‑half showdown.
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy injures his ankle on the sideline during the first half of the Week 6 clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. CBS footage shows him receiving treatment in the blue medical tent at halftime, missing the locker‑room walkthrough. The incident adds drama to Pittsburgh’s ongoing season as they battle the Buccaneers on Oct. 18, 2026.
Steelers cornerback Brandin Echols is ruled out for the upcoming game after sustaining a hamstring injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor. The setback occurs early in the second half, leaving Pittsburgh without a key special‑teams contributor. The injury update was posted on October 18, 2026, and could impact the Steelers' defensive and return units moving forward.
The Cowboys, 2‑3 after five weeks, travel to Lambeau Field seeking their first win since 2016. While Dallas’ offense shows top‑three potential, the article highlights three under‑the‑radar players who could tip the balance: RB Tyler Goodson, expected to see more carries and screen passes against Green Bay’s strong pass defense; WR Ryan Flournoy, likely to get a high‑target game and his first TD after a 90‑yard performance versus Tampa Bay; and punter Bryan Anger, whose 49.6‑yard punts could pin the Packers deep and help a struggling defense. These breakout chances make the matchup worth watching.
