- White Sox opened the ALDS with a 3-0 shutout of the Guardians — Cleveland managed just three hits while Munetaka Murakami hit a two-run homer and Colson Montgomery supplied the other RBI.
- Rays grabbed Game 1 against the Yankees when Jonathan Aranda’s solo homer off Gerrit Cole provided the lone run, and Tampa Bay pitching kept New York hitless through 7 2/3 innings.
- Both ALDS series already have dramatic Game 1 moments and early momentum swings — plenty to talk about as the matchups unfold.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk suffered a knee sprain and bone bruise after a hit vs. the Broncos and is expected to miss about 2–3 weeks.
- MRI showed the ACL is intact and the injury is better than it initially looked, so he likely won’t be placed on injured reserve.
- Juszczyk is a key veteran (10 straight Pro Bowls); his projected return could come during San Francisco’s upcoming stretch of games vs. the Seahawks, Commanders and Falcons.
- Line judge Jeff Seeman was suspended two games after being caught on camera swearing at Cardinals TE Trey McBride during the Cardinals-Giants game.
- NFLPA executive director JC Tretter publicly blasted the behavior, saying officials should be held to the same standards as players.
- The confrontation happened late following a no-call on Dru Phillips; the Giants won 36-24, and referee Adrian Hill was also suspended for unprofessional conduct in a separate game.
- ALDS drama: Guardians were shut out and held to three hits in Game 1, while White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami’s two‑run homer pushed Chicago to its third straight playoff win.
- Rays nipped the Yankees 1–0 in Game 1 — Jonathan Aranda’s homer off Gerrit Cole proved decisive, and New York was hitless through 7 2/3 innings.

- Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders has reignited excitement at Colorado — bigger crowds, high-profile donors and renewed national attention.
- The on-field results haven’t followed: Sanders is 18-24 at CU, the team is 2-3 this season after a 29-7 loss to Texas Tech, plagued by quarterback woes, turnovers and penalties.
- Funding and NIL drama loom large — boosters like Rob Wilhite help, players keep getting poached, and even a powerful rival regent (Texas Tech’s Cody Campbell) publicly admires Sanders.
- Donovan Jackson, the Vikings' promising 2025 first-round left guard, tore a meniscus vs. Miami and will likely miss the rest of the regular season after surgery.
- Left tackle Christian Darrisaw is in the concussion protocol and his availability for New Orleans is uncertain; backups Ryan Van Demark and undrafted Joe Huber saw action.
- Minnesota's offense is being tested despite a 4-0 start — Justin Jefferson missed the game with an ankle issue, Jordan Mason is on IR, and center/guard Michael Jurgens could return to practice this week.
