Big Ten expands live replay reviews to 2026 conference games — 1dThe Big Ten is expanding in-broadcast replay reviews to include all conference games and most non-conference games in 2026, featuring live audio between the game referee and replay official, video of the review, and access to the Big Ten Replay Center. The plan, spurred by scrutiny after last week’s Western Michigan–Michigan finish, also notes that a Michigan–Oklahoma game will not be included due to the broadcasting crew arrangement for that pairing.

Tom Gallagher I hope the replay center access actually speeds things up instead of dragging out games with extra scrutiny in every conference matchup.

Brock Bowers Expected to Miss Games After Knee Surgery — 1dRaiders tight end Brock Bowers underwent a meniscus trim and is expected to miss one or two games to start the season, including Week 1 against the Dolphins, with Michael Mayer likely stepping in at tight end. His absence could stretch into Week 2 against the Chargers, leaving the Raiders without their top pass-catching weapon early in 2026.

Tom Gallagher Bowers missing the opener hurts but a quick meniscus trim usually means a fast return, so Mayer has his chance to shine early.

Micah Parsons Eyes Week 6 Packers Return — 3dThe Green Bay Packers placed Micah Parsons on the reserve/PUP list after ACL and meniscus surgery, sidelining him for at least the first four games. Optimistic timelines from multiple reports put a possible return in Week 5 against the Bears or Week 6 versus the Cowboys, which would substantially boost a defense that could struggle early.

Kewan Lacy, Deuce Alexander exit tied Ole Miss-Louisville game with injuries — 4dOle Miss running back Kewan Lacy left the game with a thigh/knee injury after delivering 61 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, casting uncertainty over his status for upcoming games. The Rebels also saw Deuce Alexander exit late with an injury before returning, underscoring Lacy’s central role as Ole Miss pursues a key early-season test, including a potential Week 3 date with LSU.

Chris Dalton Glad Alexander walked it off but these thigh/knee tweaks on Lacy have me nervous - hope it's just precautionary.

Mahomes says rehab goal was walking before his daughter's first steps — Sep 4, 2026Patrick Mahomes suffered ACL and MCL injuries in the Week 15 game against the Chargers and underwent surgery, but is on track to return for Week 1 against the Broncos after a rapid rehab. He used walking before his 11-month-old daughter Golden as a central motivation for his recovery, a detail highlighted by Chiefs personnel and reported across outlets.

Jared Kim Recovering that fast from ACL/MCL surgery is wild, hope the Chiefs don't rush him back too soon just because he feels ready.

The dominant ground game and stout defense set up a Week 2 matchup with North Dakota State.

Priya Raman Holding Duquesne to zero red-zone trips says everything about that defensive front. NDSU will be a real test though.

UCLA routs Cal 45-24 as Iamaleava's leg injury raises questions — 5dUCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava suffered a leg/calf injury late in the win at California but was described by coach Bob Chesney as not serious and expected to be available next week, with his younger brother Madden stepping in briefly. The Bruins still rolled to a 45-24 victory behind Wayne Knight's three rushing touchdowns and a strong rushing load from Anthony Woods, though Iamaleava left the game limping and his status remained a focal point after the matchup.

Derek Foss Good win but the calf injury is the real story here, hope Nico's fine for next week. Woods and Knight carried the load nicely with him banged up.
