Elvedi poised to go head-to-head with Leeds United teammate
Leeds United defender Nico Elvedi has been named in Switzerland’s squad for their upcoming November international fixtures.
The 30-year-old has been selected by head coach Murat Yakin as the Rossocrociati prepare for two UEFA Nations League encounters.
The Swiss will first travel to Maribor to face Slovenia on Friday 13 November, with kick-off at 7:45pm, before hosting Scotland in St Gallen on Monday 16 November, also kicking off at 7:45pm.

The New York Giants waived quarterback Jake Haener on Thursday. He had served as the team’s third-string quarterback after joining the organization late in the summer and later joining the 53-man roster. If he clears waivers, he is likely to return to the practice squad.
In conjunction with the move, the Giants held workouts with four players: Wide receivers Maurice Alexander, River Cracraft and Steven Sims, along with punter Wes Pahl.
Alexander previously spent time with the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears after going undrafted out of Florida International.

The College Football Playoff committee respects Miami. It’s skeptical of Notre Dame (and Ohio State).
That’s what the committee’s initial rankings should tell you.
Undefeated Miami debuted at No. 1, while the one-loss Irish checked in at No. 11.

Interestingly, the teams have a similar strength of schedule, and Notre Dame’s lone loss against top-10 Brigham Young came down to the final play.

Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha is an option for Bayern Munich next summer

Liverpool Rio Ngumoha is an option for Bayern Munich next summer, reports Christian Falk. 

The Rekordmiester held talks last summer with the winger’s representatives about a potential move. Bayern had even lined up a €70m offer for the 18-year-old, but were unsure if Liverpool would sell the youngster. 

Ultimately, Bayern left the talks and opted to sign Ismael Saibari instead. However, this isn’t the end of Rio Ngumoha and Bayern Munich interest.

The notion of your football club ceasing to exist is unthinkable for many fans, but for supporters of Rushden & Diamonds it became a sad reality in 2011.
The Northamptonshire-based side, backed by the late Max Griggs, rocketed through non-league in the 1990s and in 2003 reached the third tier of English football before financial issues after he stepped away ultimately saw them fold.

No NFL team is dominating opponents like the Jacksonville Jaguars.
After blowing out the Ravens 33-10 on Thursday night, the Jaguars have now outscored their opponents by a cumulative score of 229-121 this season. That’s a point differential of +108, by far the best in the NFL.
The team with the second-best point differential in the NFL is the 49ers, at +58. The Jaguars’ point differential is 50 points better than the next-best team.
At 6-2, the Jaguars do not have the best record in the league, as the Bills, 49ers and Vikings are all 6-1.

Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry carried the ball 17 times for 57 yards versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. He also completed a pass for minus-three yards.

Why It Matters: Baltimore’s game plan was obvious, feed Henry the ball. It worked to a degree, at least early on, but eventually the Jaguars pushed out to a multi-score lead, and that was the end of that. The good news is that the Ravens now get additional rest before a Week 10 meeting with the winless Chargers, and by that point, Jacoby Brissett should be ready to start.

Magic rumors: Will Orlando blow up roster at trade deadline? appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It has been a rough start to the 2026-27 season for the Orlando Magic despite being under the tutelage of new head coach Sean Sweeney, whom they hired from the San Antonio Spurs this past offseason.

It’s been a rough season for Cal and first-year head coach Tosh Lupoi. And Bears general manager Ron Rivera isn’t afraid to admit it.
The Bears enter their Week 10 bye week on a three-game losing streak. After losses to Wake Forest and SMU, Cal lost 31-10 to an NC State program that fired its head coach earlier in the season in Week 9. At 3-6, Cal has to beat Virginia, Stanford and Pitt to make a bowl game.
Given the way Cal’s season has unfolded so far, a bowl seems unlikely.

According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 in Houston, the New York Giants waived former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Jake Haener on November 5 ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline.
Haener started his career as a fourth-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in the 2023 NFL Draft and played in the Big Easy for three seasons. He signed with the Chiefs earlier this year on February 2, but was waived by Kansas City shortly after the 2026 NFL Draft on May 4.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts recorded 933 passing yards, eight passing touchdowns, and 107 rushing yards across five games before a blood-clot diagnosis ended his 2026 season. His absence has removed the Eagles’ leading passer and runner from an offense that has struggled to replace his production.
The Eagles began the season 2-0 but have since lost six straight games and now sit at 2-6. Hurts went on injured reserve after a clot in his calf was found to have moved, and subsequent testing confirmed deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer struggled in the 2025 season as the defense allowed an average of 30.1 points per game, and the team finished 7-9-1 despite Dak Prescott throwing for 4,552 yards and 30 touchdowns. The team continues to struggle in 2026 with a 3-5 record after a 33-30 overtime loss to Arizona.
Schottenheimer has taken responsibility for the problems instead of avoiding blame. His acknowledgment of execution failures comes after Dallas lost a 14-point fourth-quarter lead at home, adding pressure on a team that has not consistently finished close games.
