LAS VEGAS — The Rule 5 Draft didn’t take place during the 2021-22 offseason, the last time Major League Baseball owners locked out players.
This offseason’s Rule 5 Draft again is in jeopardy with a lockout expected to begin at 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 1.

“We’re operating as though that would go on as normal,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said at the GM Meetings.
Teams have until Nov. 17 to add eligible players to their 40-man roster to protect them from being available to other teams in the draft.

The Oregon Ducks will host the Michigan Wolverines at Autzen Stadium this weekend for the first time since 2003, but this time it will be the Wolverines looking to play spoiler to the Ducks‘ postseason hopes.
Michigan has the defense to do it, while the offense remains another story. With NFL talent and plenty of veteran leadership on hand, the moment in front of a raucous Oregon crowd shouldn’t be too threatening to the Wolverines, and it could create a low-scoring affair.

Frankie Muniz was hospitalized after a practice crash for Wednesday’s Ford Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic at the Daytona International Speedway. The actor-turned-NASCAR driver was reportedly “awake and alert” at the hospital, although the extent of his injuries have not been reported.
Muniz was one of a number of NASCAR drivers competing in the Ford event at Daytona International Speedway. The race at the 3.6-mile Daytona road course is being held to recognize the United States Armed Forces, with two drivers representing each of the six branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Falcons defensive end James Pearce Jr. made his season debut on Sunday after serving an eight-game suspension. Pearce played only 15 snaps in the loss to the Bengals, though, after back tightness late last week.
He had no stats.
Pearce rehabbed Wednesday, sitting out practice.
The Falcons also practiced without wide receiver Zachariah Branch (hamstring), linebacker Josh Woods (ankle) and defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. (illness).
Linebacker Divine Deablo, who played with his arm wrapped against Cincinnati, was limited.

As Brandin Podziemski huddled with his personal trainer this past summer, exploring how to raise his game, they hit on some ideas. They watched video of New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, freshly crowned NBA champion. They examined the 3-point shooting volume of players such as Payton Pritchard and Tyler Herro.

The Vikings made Kyler Murray their quarterback choice to open the 2026 season, but it didn’t take long for their plans to go awry.
Murray was concussed early in the season opener, missed Week 2 and then led an underwhelming offense to a 4-1 record before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 8. The Vikings offense got even worse with Carson Wentz in Monday night’s loss to the Bills, which led the team to trade for Kirk Cousins on Tuesday.

The November signing period list will be updated as information is provided.

The WBC is currently hosting its 63rd annual convention in Acapulco, Mexico, and Wednesday saw the most significant portion of the week-long conference take place. The sanctioning body reviewed the status of all divisions and provided updates on some of the biggest names in boxing.

In a press conference on November 11, Patrick Mahomes addressed the Kansas City Chiefs‘ surprise deal with the Indianapolis Colts at the 2026 NFL trade deadline that saw star receiver Josh Downs join the two-time MVP in exchange for fourth- and fifth-round draft picks.
“He does a great job of winning one-on-one matchups, which is important,” Mahomes told members of the media about Downs on Wednesday. “He runs routes really well, sets them up really well.

The New York Giants will look to extend their winning streak when they welcome the Washington Commanders to MetLife Stadium for a Thursday night NFC East showdown.
The Giants are coming off a 19-11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, while Washington is looking to bounce back from a 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. These teams played to a 27-27 tie in their first meeting, making Thursday’s rematch an important opportunity for New York to create some separation in the division.
Here are three key matchups to watch.

Quarterbacks

Jordan Love, Packers

FPTS/G: QB4

Preseason: QB18 (+14) 

Jordan Love has been one of the NFL’s most prolific passers this season. Frankly, this one was easy to see coming, but the fantasy community let Love slip to the late rounds while chasing all his pass-catchers. That math didn’t add up. 

The Packers’ run game was destined to take a step back with Josh Jacobs’ turbulent offseason and the degradation of their offensive line. Green Bay is up 19 spots in total pace of play from last season and is second in pass-rate over expected.

The 2026 NFL trade deadline came and went, and the Los Angeles Rams didn’t make a move for a receiver. Instead, they only brought back Xavier Smith despite injuries to Jordan Whittington and Puka Nacua after losing Davante Adams earlier this year.
Without that trio, the Rams’ top receivers include Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, 2026 sixth-round pick CJ Daniels and Smith.
Even though trades are off the table, the Rams can still find solid, veteran talent to add to their roster.

Unsurprisingly, the Carolina Panthers didn’t make a peep through this year’s trade deadline. Head coach Dave Canales, though, did talk about his team’s quiet day this afternoon.
That silence on Tuesday was a product of two major factors, one being a lack of salary cap space. The other became evident on Wednesday—as the team designated running back Jonathon Brooks, wideout Xavier Legette and cornerback Mike Jackson to return to practice.
Canales was asked whether the inactivity had more to do with the cap restrictions or with the roster getting healthier.

The NFL’s trade deadline has come and gone, and the New York Jets were relatively quiet.
Their only move was trading safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions for a 2029 sixth-round pick. The spotlight briefly fell on Will McDonald, among others.
The fourth-year edge rusher expressed that he desired to be traded, but no deal materialized, meaning he’s still part of New York’s roster. Now, both sides must figure out what comes next.

Kirk Cousins is back.
Faced with a quarterback crisis, the Minnesota Vikings acted swiftly at the NFL trade deadline to acquire their old signal-caller in a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. It came on the heels of a deflating loss to the Buffalo Bills on “Monday Night Football,” which highlighted the need to save the season.
Ideally, the Cousins trade will mean Minnesota won’t have to rely entirely on its defense to win games.
And the quarterback should be able to hit the ground running.

The Kansas City Chiefs will stick with Harrison Butker in Week 10, giving the kicker another chance to turn things around after weeks of struggles, head coach Andy Reid announced Wednesday.

What remains unknown is who’ll replace Aikman as ESPN’s Monday Night Football analyst. Well, another NFL legend just threw his hat in the ring.
Drew Brees, the former New Orleans Saints star who’s currently an analyst for Fox, is eying Aikman’s MNF seat, according to Front Office Sports. Whether he lands the ESPN job is uncertain, but a No.
