One of the beautiful things about the NFL’s release day is the leaks. Nobody waits for the 8 p.m. unveiling. Not even the NFL.
There are enough NFL schedule leaks this day to sink a battle ship.
And the league, not to be outdone, tips some games of its own to keep attention high.

The NFL is revealing the full schedule for all 32 teams on Thursday night, but ahead of the complete announcement, it appears that we now know which teams will play in the league’s season opener this fall.
As expected, the Super Bowl champion Chiefs will host the NFL season opener at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night, Sept. 7 against the Lions, according to a report from Alex Chippin of The Score.

LeBron James and the Lakers were unable to end their series with the Warriors on Wednesday night, losing Game 5 to the defending champions 121–106. 
Los Angeles, who saw Anthony Davis leave Game 5 with a head injury, got off to a slow start and was never able to recover. The series now heads back to L.A. for Game 6 on Thursday with the Lakers holding onto a 3–2 lead.

The league announced on Thursday morning that Rodgers will make his debut in a Jets uniform against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, capping off the first week of the 2023 NFL season.

Now that the dust has settled from the 2023 NFL Draft, here’s a look at areas each NFC team still needs to address.

Even teams that feel good about their draft and free-agent moves still have room to improve. These are the weak spots, and how to fix them.

Notre Dame may be in the market for a new apparel deal. 
The Irish’s exclusive negotiating window with current apparel sponsor Under Armour has expired, sources tell Sports Illustrated, thrusting arguably college football’s most valuable brand into the open market.
Notre Dame’s 10-year contract with Under Armour, believed to be worth $90 million, ends after next season. UA replaced Adidas as Notre Dame’s apparel outfit in 2014 in what was at the time believed to be the most lucrative apparel contract in college athletics history.
