Philadelphia also adds guard Evan Beerntsen, receiver Quentin Skinner and defensive back Shaun Wade to its practice squad. The moves aim to keep the Eagles’ ground game strong for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Wisconsin Badgers edge rusher Sebastian Cheeks is emerging as a potential Day 2 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft after a breakout season. He leads Power‑4 edge rushers with 34 pressures in just nine games and posted a dominant performance against USC with 2.5 sacks, six pressures and four stops. ESPN’s Mel Kiper grades him as a Round 3‑4 prospect, praising his varied pass‑rush moves and 6‑3, 243‑lb frame. Cheeks earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, the first Badger to do so since 2023, and could become the first Badger Day‑2 selection since center Joe Tippmann in 2023 if the Badgers finish strong in the Big Ten.
Sam Houston fires head coach Phil Longo after a 3-17 record over two seasons, ending his tenure just 24 hours after a 24-3 loss to Missouri State on Sept. 26, 2026. Longo, who returned as head coach in Dec. 2024 after stints at Ole Miss, North Carolina and Wisconsin, posted a 2-10 first season and a 1-7 start this year, with the Bearkats ranking near the bottom of Conference USA in scoring and offense. Defensive coordinator Freddie Aughtry‑Lindsay and special teams coordinator Eric Raisbeck will serve as co‑interim head coaches, with the next permanent hire set to report to a new athletic director after Bobby Williams retires in June 2027. The team’s next game is Nov. 7 versus Jacksonville State.
