Canadiens Eye Top-Six Center as Trade Market Options Thin
The Montreal Canadiens are actively scouting the trade market for a true second‑line center to back captain Nick Suzuki, but options are scarce. Detroit’s Dylan Larkin is the only established candidate, yet his contract gives him full control over destination and he’s ruled out Montreal. With Suzuki nursing an upper‑body injury and several forwards and a goalie sidelined, the Habs sit 4‑3‑1 overall and may have to wait out the thin market. No concrete talks have surfaced, and any move remains speculative as General Manager Kent Hughes prioritizes genuine center depth over general scoring help.
USC Women’s Basketball Lands No. 3 in AP Preseason Poll
USC women’s basketball climbs to No. 3 in the 2026‑27 AP preseason Top 25, bolstered by the return of guard JuJu Watkins after her ACL tear. The Trojans earned two first‑place votes, trailing only South Carolina (23 votes) and UConn (six). After an 18‑14 season and a second‑round NCAA exit without Watkins, voters anticipate a major impact from her comeback and a strong recruiting class that includes No. 1 guard Saniyah Hall and international forwards Sara Okeke and Sitaya Fagan. USC opens on Nov. 2 at UNLV and faces top‑seeded South Carolina on Nov. 15, a early test of the lofty ranking.

Exec director Kirk Goldsborough hired 24 undergrads, planning to grow to 200 researchers by 2027, when full operations begin. Athletic director Chris Del Conte says the AI will guide revenue‑sharing budget decisions and roster value, aiming to boost efficiency amid a turbulent Texas football season.

Packers vs Lions Preview: What to Know Before Sunday
The Green Bay Packers (4-2) host the Detroit Lions (3-2) Sunday at Ford Field in a crucial NFC North clash. Detroit brings the league's top scoring offense, averaging 32.8 points and 393.8 yards per game, while Green Bay relies on the NFL’s 10th‑best defense, allowing 307.7 yards and 20.8 points. Key storylines include the return of running back Josh Jacobs, who could revive the Packers’ faltering run game, and the health battle lines: Green Bay lists several players as questionable, while the Lions miss safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph. Watch Jared Goff’s 67% completion rate against a versatile Jahmyr Gibbs, and see which side wins the early‑season showdown that could tighten the division race behind Minnesota’s unbeaten streak.
Broncos vs Cardinals Week 7: Preview and Injury Report
The Broncos visit the Cardinals Sunday, Oct. 25, at 4:05 p.m. ET in Glendale. Denver (4‑2) aims to leverage its strong pass rush—18 sacks and a +4 turnover margin—against an Arizona offense that has tossed six interceptions and struggles to protect QB Jacoby Brissett (12 sacks taken). Key injuries could shape the duel: Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II is questionable and safety Talanoa Hufanga doubtful, while the Cardinals list QB Carson Beck, RB Jeremiyah Love and several defensive backs as questionable. Bo Nix and J.K. Dobbins are slated to start for Denver; Brissett likely starts for Arizona. A win keeps Denver near the AFC West lead, and a Cardinals victory would snap their early-season slump.
Buccaneers vs. Panthers Preview: Mayfield Set To Return
The Buccaneers travel to Charlotte for Week 7, where Baker Mayfield returns after a thumb injury to face the 3‑2 Panthers at 1 p.m. ET on Fox. Tampa Bay (1‑5) has struggled without Mayfield, averaging just 19.8 points and 186 passing yards, but boasts a top‑10 run defense. The Panthers, riding a 25‑14 win over Philadelphia, rely on Bryce Young’s league‑leading passing attack (309.8 yards per game) and a historic offensive output. Injuries loom for both sides, with key Bucs receivers and Panthers linebackers questionable. The game pivots on whether Young can exploit Tampa Bay’s 20th‑ranked pass defense and if Mayfield can spark the Bucs’ offense.

Colts vs Vikings Week 7 Preview: What to Watch Sunday
The Colts (5-0) host the Vikings (2-4) on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium in a Week 7 showdown that could extend Minnesota's unbeaten run. While the Vikings ride a 10‑game winning streak despite a modest 22‑point average, Indianapolis battles a third straight loss, a recent GM firing, and a shaky offensive line that gave up 15 sacks. Key players include QB Daniel Jones (4 TDs, 6 INTs) and RB Jonathan Taylor for Indianapolis, and QB Kyler Murray, WR Justin Jefferson (ankle) and TE T.J. Hockenson for Minnesota. Both teams have several injury questions, and the Vikings' pass rush, led by Dallas Turner (5.5 sacks), will test Jones' poise.
Browns Vs. Titans Preview: Questions Before Week 7
The Browns head to Nissan Stadium on Oct. 25 as the AFC North’s surprise 4‑2 team becomes the week’s first favorite against a 1‑5 Titans squad. Cleveland’s low‑scoring offense, led by Deshaun Watson (1,174 yards, 7 TDs, 24 sacks taken), leans on a strong defense that allows just 20.3 points per game. Tennessee’s secondary is in flux after benching corner Alontae Taylor, with Josh Williams set to start and only two interceptions recorded all season. Both clubs deal with injuries, including several Browns linebackers and Titans safety Kevin Winston Jr. The key battle pits Jeffery Simmons’ pass rush against Watson’s vulnerable protection. The matchup pits Browns’ 17.7 PPG and solid defense against Titans’ 14.0 PPG and struggling secondary.

Jesper Bratt contributed two assists and rookie goalie Nico Daws made 16 saves. Anaheim’s lone tally came from Tim Washe’s third‑period deflection.

Sullivan also debuted for the USMNT in September, scoring in a 3‑0 win over Mexico to become the youngest USMNT scorer. His rise mirrors the Union’s surge from last place to a 12‑win, unbeaten 15‑game stretch that puts them in playoff contention. Reports link him to a future move to Manchester City.
