Saquon Barkley is expected to return for Philadelphia’s Week 7 Monday night game against Dallas after missing time with a hamstring strain, though the Eagles are still likely to lean on the pass. Tampa Bay running back Bucky Irving missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness but returned as a limited participant Thursday and is on track to play Sunday against Carolina if he continues progressing. Colts tight end Drew Ogletree missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury and has two more opportunities to practice before facing Minnesota. Bears running back Kyle Monangai is set to miss his third straight game with turf toe, while D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson continue to share the backfield; a Week 8 return is possible but not assured.

The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.

Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann are also in contention, with reports indicating differences among club officials over their preferred successor; Pochettino’s current USMNT role could complicate a move.
