The Indianapolis Colts have officially placed running back Jonathan Taylor on the trade block, with five teams—Denver, Green Bay, Minnesota, New York Giants, and Seattle—already engaging in talks. Sources say the Colts have received at least one offer that includes a second‑round pick and are targeting a return comparable to the 2022 Christian McCaffrey deal. Taylor met owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon this week, who expressed personal affinity but acknowledges the trade value. With the Colts 2‑5 and a new GM search underway, the deadline to move Taylor is Nov. 10.
Former Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson Jr. tells "WEEI Sports" that head coach Mike Vrabel may be pressuring A.J. Brown to play before his hamstring fully heals. Brown missed four games after a Week 1 injury against Seattle and returned in Week 6 versus the Jets, delivering a muted performance that sparked doubts about his health. Johnson questions Vrabel’s injury‑management culture, noting the coach’s history of playing through pain. With the Patriots set to face Miami, the debate over Brown’s short‑term impact versus long‑term safety looms.
The Chicago Bears, leading the NFC North, announce that running back Kyle Monangai is ruled out for the Week 8 Monday Night Football clash with the Seattle Seahawks. Monangai, sidelined since his 146-yard game on Oct. 4, has struggled with toe and thumb injuries, and the team says he won’t be traded. Meanwhile, D’Andre Swift receives a positive injury update as Chicago eyes another playoff run and a possible first Super Bowl appearance since 2007. The Bears will face Mike Macdonald’s tough Seattle defense at Lumen Field without Monangai.
Jonah Coleman is beginning to carve out a larger role in Denver's backfield just as the Chiefs are trying to recover from an ugly defensive performance against Seattle.
Veteran running back Zach Charbonnet is set to make his 2026 season debut for the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. After missing the season with a torn ACL suffered in the 2025 playoffs, Charbonnet—who logged 730 rushing yards and 12 TDs last year—has no injury designation and will join fellow back Jadarian Price in the backfield. The Seahawks (4-3) host the 5-2 Bears at 8:15 p.m. ET, hoping his return adds momentum after a 20-3 win over the Chiefs.
The Seahawks will have multiple starters sidelined in Monday's massive prime time matchup with the Bears, but for the first time all season, the backfield could be truly whole with Zach Charbonnet ready to roll.
The Seattle Seahawks host the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football in Week 8, debuting six‑time All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson after left tackle Charles Cross is ruled out with an ankle injury. With Anthony Bradford questionable and both Rashid Shaheed and Velus Jones Jr. sidelined, Josh Jones shifts to left tackle and Grey Zabel moves to right guard. The Seahawks also need to activate backup RB Jadarian Price to the 53‑man roster before kickoff, as neither he nor Zach Charbonnet has a gameday designation. The Bears arrive with new defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, setting up a high‑stakes showdown at Lumen Field.
The Seattle Seahawks beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-3 Sunday, but edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu draws a $17,911 fine for a horse‑collar tackle on Patrick Mahomes. The penalty forced a replayed down, and Mahomes later recovered a strip‑sack by Derick Hall to preserve a Chiefs field goal. It’s the only fine issued in the game, and a repeat horse‑collar offense will trigger a one‑game suspension. Nwosu is listed as doubtful for Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears, raising questions about his availability.
The Minnesota Vikings promote veteran running back DeeJay Dallas to their Week 8 active roster. The 28‑year‑old, a 2020 fourth‑round pick by Seattle who later spent time with the Cardinals, Panthers and Jaguars, has logged six games this season with three carries for ten yards. After a series of practice‑squad stints and a recent release from Jacksonville’s final cuts, Dallas joins the Vikings seeking depth at RB.
The Raiders should lean heavily on blitzing to disrupt Geno Smith and the Jets’ offense in Week 8, argues Silver and Black Pride. Smith, a 70% completion veteran, still throws 21 sacks this season and falters under pressure. Las Vegas ranks fifth in total pressures (73) and third in pressure percentage (29.2%), but needs more aggressive blitzes to curb the Jets’ low‑ranking offense (27th in points, 23rd in yards). Defensive coordinator Rob Leonard, mentored by Vikings and Seahawks coaches, has already called 61 blitzes (tied 16th in the league). Targeting the run and pass with linebackers Quay Walker, Nakobe Dean and cornerback Taron Johnson could shake Smith’s confidence and stop the Raiders’ recent defensive lapses.
Adam Thielen told ESPN’s NFL Live why Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wideout DK Metcalf have struggled to click this season. Thielen says Rodgers prefers static, straightforward routes, while Metcalf isn’t the type to line up and play without motion or stack concepts, limiting his effectiveness. Metcalf has recorded just 850 total yards, with only 374 through the first seven games and one 100‑yard effort against Cleveland. Thielen’s insight, based on having played with both players, highlights Metcalf’s lack of versatility as a key obstacle for the Steelers' AFC North push.
Monday night’s showdown between the 5‑2 Chicago Bears and 4‑3 Seattle Seahawks gains extra drama as running back Kyle Monangai is ruled out for a fourth straight game with a thumb/toe injury. The Bears list cornerback Malik Muhammad (toe) and linebacker D’Marco Jackson (ankle) as questionable, but T.J. Edwards, Jack Sanborn and tight end Colston Loveland are cleared to play. Seahawks injury details are pending.
Seattle’s defense, under Mike Macdonald, has just shut down the Broncos (17 points) and the Chiefs (only three points) in back‑to‑back games, forcing quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes into modest totals. Now the Bears, 5‑2 and led by rising offensive mind Ben Johnson, arrive in Seattle. Johnson’s motion‑heavy, balanced attack will test Macdonald’s scheme, especially against quarterback Caleb Williams, whose pocket play is Seattle’s priority. The tight‑end battle—Chicago’s Colston Loveland (26 catches, 244 yards, 2 TDs) versus Seattle’s Ernest Jones—could also swing the outcome. The preview highlights how Seattle must keep Williams in the pocket while containing the Bears’ versatile offense.
Former Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck officially says goodbye to his Weston, Massachusetts home, the $5.6 million estate he bought in August 2016. The 12,835‑sq‑ft, 2.4‑acre property—featuring six en‑suite bedrooms, a cherry‑wood library, a barn with horse stalls, riding arena and pool—held his family for over a decade. Hasselbeck, who began his NFL career with Green Bay in 1998 before starring in Seattle and stints in Tennessee and Indianapolis, posted a nostalgic Instagram tribute thanking his dad, friends and “Titan.” His next residence remains unknown.
Ahead of the 2026 trade deadline, the Chicago Bears, now 5-2 after acquiring defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, are assessing three players they might move. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, an undrafted former Division II star, offers reliable depth behind Caleb Williams and could fetch value as an affordable starter, but Chicago may keep him to safeguard against injury. Defensive lineman Kentavius Street, who added versatility after joining from Atlanta, faces reduced playing time with Simmons anchoring the interior line, making him a potential trade chip for a late‑round pick. Both players provide trade appeal, yet the Bears must weigh roster stability against the compensation they can secure.
Sounders have solved the Whitecaps before, but now their season could depend on it.
The Calgary Flames rebound from a 4-0 loss to Edmonton with a 6-2 home win over the Seattle Kraken, improving to 6-7-0 and avenging two earlier 6-1 defeats. Young prospects Aydar Suniev (fourth goal, five points in 10 games), Matvei Gridin (goal, assist, five goals, nine points in eight games) and defenseman Zayne Parekh (first even‑strength point, strong defensive play) stood out alongside veterans Matt Coronato (three assists, a goal), Morgan Frost (opening‑goal scorer, four goals, nine points) and Joel Farabee (insurance goal). Goaltender Dustin Wolf posted a 0.909 save percentage, and the special teams converted both power‑play chances while killing three of four penalties. The win highlights the Flames’ evolving line‑up and balanced contributions from both newcomers and seasoned players.
Monday Night Football pits Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald against Chicago Bears offensive mastermind Ben Johnson. Fresh from a primetime win over the Chiefs, the Seahawks seek another upset against a Bears unit refreshed by All‑Pro defensive end Jeffrey Simmons. The Q&A with Bill Zimmerman highlights Johnson’s adaptable, chess‑like play‑calling that keeps defenses guessing, and how Simmons transforms Chicago’s pass rush, giving the Bears a genuine playoff‑caliber edge. With both sides boasting top coaches and newly‑added talent, the clash promises a strategic showdown at Soldier Field.
The Indianapolis Colts are fielding serious trade interest for star running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says multiple teams—potentially the Seahawks, Packers, Giants, Broncos and Vikings—value Taylor at a “2+” package, likely a second‑round pick plus additional selections. However, the Colts already turned down a 2027 second‑rounder plus extra compensation, signaling they want a premium. Despite the chatter, Taylor is expected to play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and no deal is imminent.
The Calgary Flames rebound with a 6-2 win over the Seattle Kraken on October 31, 2026, fueled by a dominant second period. Youthful scorers Aydar Suniev, Matvei Gridin, Matt Coronato, Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost each chipped in, while Zayne Parekh led Corsi (78.74% CF) and helped secure a 21-6 shot‑attempt advantage. Goaltender Dustin Wolf posted a solid 1.67 xGA, allowing only a power‑play goal. The victory marks a shift after two 6-1 defeats, highlighting emerging players like Simon Nemec, Jonathan Castagna and prospects Carson Carels and Hunter Brzustewicz as the Flames’ future defensive core.
The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season, dropping to the Seattle Seahawks in blowout fashion. It wasn't the kind of homecoming that the Chiefs envisioned for Kenneth Walker, who left Seattle for K.C. this spring.
On September 1, 2026, Boston Red Sox rookie Jedixson Paez was pulled after 3 2⁄3 innings as the Mariners built an 8‑1 lead, a loss that symbolized the Sox’s faltering September. Despite a strong early season – including a 32‑5 run‑scoring streak and a 37‑game run against the Yankees – the team entered the final month four games behind New York, needing a surge to clinch a home playoff spot for the first time since 2021. Paez’s line (3.2 IP, 10 H, 8 ER, 2 HR) highlighted the bullpen’s resilience, limiting the damage to a 9‑6 defeat. The article reflects on the game’s morale impact and Paez’s later redemption in a five‑inning relief win, framing the start as a microcosm of the Sox’s uneven September.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, 37, receives a clean bill of health ahead of the Week 8 showdown with the Denver Broncos. After spraining his right ankle in the first quarter of the Week 6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers—where he still logged four catches for 53 yards—and playing through soreness against Seattle in Week 7, Kelce was a limited participant in Thursday practice but was listed as a full participant Friday. The Chiefs, sitting 5‑1 after a 20‑3 loss to Seattle, hope his full return boosts their offense against a revitalized Broncos squad.
The Indianapolis Colts have turned their mid‑season overhaul into a full franchise rebuild and are now actively seeking to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor before the Nov. 10 deadline. Reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport say multiple contenders—including the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos—are in talks. Taylor, 27, carries a $15 million signing bonus and contracts through 2028 ($15 M in 2027, $9.46 M in 2028), making him a prime asset. Indianapolis aims to clear cap space and fetch a future second‑round pick plus late‑round selections, following recent moves that sent guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and DT DeForest Buckner to San Francisco.
