It doesn't sound like the Dallas Mavericks have any interest in trading Kyrie Irving.
One day after beating the Miami Dolphins, the New England Patriots waive safety Elliott Davison, a practice‑squad call‑up who appeared in just 10 defensive snaps and 57 special‑teams snaps across three games. The move is unsurprising—Davison was a healthy scratch and the Patriots have no roster openings after Week 8, but will soon need the spot as WR Mack Hollins, FB Reggie Gilliam and OT Marcus Bryant near activation. The safety corps, led by captain Kevin Byard and starter Craig Woodson, remains solid, making Davison’s departure largely inconsequential. If he clears waivers, New England may re‑sign him to the practice squad, though a claim from another team is unlikely.
The Green Bay Packers add former Las Vegas Raiders sixth‑round pick Cam Miller (2025, #215) to their practice squad, filling one of two open spots without cutting another player. Miller, a North Dakota State standout with two FCS titles, previously spent time on the Raiders’ and Miami Dolphins’ practice squads and even drew interest from the Vikings. He joins existing practice‑squad quarterback Kedon Slovis, putting Slovis’s role in question. Miller’s career stats include 9,720 passing yards and a modest 6.08 RAS score. The move expands a practice roster that still has one spot open across all positions.
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel steals the spotlight in New England's 24-19 win over Miami when his challenge flag sails 15 yards and overturns a touchdown call. CBS’s Andrew Catalon jokes that Vrabel’s throw beats Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield’s miserable outing against the Falcons, where Mayfield went 0‑3 for zero yards and a 39.6 passer rating. The successful challenge restores a key Patriots touchdown, while Mayfield’s flawless‑nil performance becomes the day’s punchline.
The Chicago White Sox claim former Miami Marlins infielder Graham Pauley off waivers, sending left‑hander Ky Bush and outfielder Junior Perez to Triple‑A. The 21‑year‑old, who posted career‑highs of four homers and 25 RBIs in 62 games for Miami in 2026, is praised for his defensive versatility—having played every infield spot except shortstop. While his .218 career average isn’t eye‑catching, the Sox view him as a valuable utility backup as they reshape the infield around Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Chase Meidroth and Munetaka Murakami ahead of Opening Day.
The AFC roundup highlights three storylines: The Bills credit a post‑bye defensive boost under new coordinator Jim Leonhard, with LB Terrel Bernard saying the team is finally syncing on scheme and communication. Dolphins QB Malik Willis defends his candid rebuke of RB Ollie Gordon’s taunting penalty, earning praise from head coach Jeff Hafley for his honesty and leadership. Meanwhile, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn rebuffs trade gossip about RB Breece Hall, insisting he’s staying, while insider Connor Hughes claims tension between WR Garrett Wilson and former QB Aaron Rodgers could spark a trade request if Rodgers returns for a third season.
The Green Bay Packers held a workout on Monday featuring five edge rushers and one linebacker as they look to fill two open practice‑squad spots. The group includes DE prospects Vincent Anthony (2026 draft, 7.28 RAS, former Chiefs and 49ers practice‑squad player) and Seth Coleman (2025 draft, 7.14 RAS, brief stints with Seahawks, Colts and Dolphins). LB prospects D.J. Johnson (2023 third‑round pick, 8.32 RAS, ex‑Panthers and Commanders), Dasan McCullough (2026 undrafted LB, 9.45 RAS, former Broncos contract) and Reid Williford (2026 LB, 9.46 RAS, recently cleared from an injury settlement with the Ravens) also participated. The Packers have evaluated 43 players since the cut‑down deadline, with only one prior edge rusher, Australian Cruz Smith, having been tried.
The Marlins announced that left-hander Patrick Monteverde has been sent outright to Triple-A Jacksonville. More to come.
Breaking down three key sequences in the Patriots' comeback over the Dolphins through video analysis: a crucial third-down pickup that set up Kyle Williams' touchdown; the Dolphins' role in Drake Maye's touchdown run; and Elijah Ponder's assist that set the stage for DeMario Douglas' touchdown.
Howdy, WIIM! Life is gonna be in my way for a little while, so I don’t know how consistent I’ll be able to get together recaps and the like. I am curious, would you all prefer these morning skate updates? Recaps? Both? Nothing from me ever again? Just curious if there’s a forum / information style preference amongst us. Thanks in advance for the feedback 🙂 The Wings head to Florida tonight…
The Mets officially open free agency by adding infielder Christian Cairo (one‑year split deal) and claiming right‑handers Jack Anderson and Pierson Ohl off waivers, then quickly DFAing Cairo and new signee Kyren Paris. Cairo, a 25‑year‑old former Phillies Triple‑A player, posts a .233/.361/.314 line in Triple‑A. Anderson, 27, logged 12.1 MLB innings in 2026, while Ohl, also 27, missed 2026 after Tommy John surgery. Outgoing pieces include RHP Philip Abner and LHP Cameron Weston (claimed by Orioles and Marlins), first‑baseman Eric Wagaman (free agency) and Cristian Pache (sent to Triple‑A). Reinstated from the 60‑day IL are Tylor Megill, Reed Garrett and Jorge Polanco.
Jonah Savaiinaea was regarded as one of the worst draft picks of the 2025 NFL Draft; now the Miami Dolphins guard is proving everyone wrong.
The Orioles overhaul their 40-man roster as free agency opens, clearing five fringe players—including former #2 overall pick Heston Kjerstad and 2021 slugger Ryan Mountcastle—from the roster and adding four claimants: RHP Josh White (Marlins), LHP Philip Abner (Mets), C Zach Morgan (Giants) and RHP Chase Hampton (Cardinals). All four injured-list pitchers—Kyle Bradish, Ryan Helsley, Tyler O’Neill and Jordan Westburg—return to the roster. Baltimore also extends a qualifying offer to free-agent right-hander Trevor Rogers, one of eight that will likely be declined, positioning the team for a possible compensation pick. These moves have minimal impact on the projected Opening Day 2027 lineup but signal continued roster churn.
The Kansas City Chiefs have released cornerback Kader Kohou from their practice squad, according to the NFL Official Transaction Wire. The 27‑year‑old, who began his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins in 2022 and logged 45 tackles, two interceptions and eight pass defenses in 15 games last season, re‑joined Kansas City this offseason before being cut after camp. Kohou now becomes a free agent.
The Los Angeles Lakers host the Miami Heat Monday night, Nov. 2, at Crypto.com Arena with tip‑off at 7 p.m. PT (10 p.m. ET). The Lakers (5‑2) ride Luka Doncic’s 45‑point, 15‑rebound win over Toronto, while the Heat (2‑4) look to extend a two‑game streak after a 0‑4 start. Key storylines: Doncic (37.7 ppg league‑leading) vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo (28.2 ppg, 12.3 reb, 5.5 ast) in his first season with Miami, and the return of Laker forward Ziaire Williams after a foot injury. Lakers list Adou Thiero (out, knee) and Heat list Tim Hardaway Jr. (questionable, personal). Game airs on Spectrum SportsNet (L.A.)/WPLG Local 10 (Miami) and streams via NBA League Pass or Prime Video in India. Expected starters feature Doncic‑Reaves backcourt, Kessler‑Williams frontcourt for L.A., and Mitchell‑Thompson guard duo with Giannis‑Wiggins forward line for Miami.
The Chicago White Sox make their first offseason move, claiming infielder Graham Pauley off waivers from the Miami Marlins. The pickup, which no one predicted in the Sox Machine’s 67‑person Offseason Plan Project, marks the team's initial roster tweak as they begin rebuilding after the 2026 season.
Amid a 2‑5 start, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn deflects job‑security questions by blaming the team’s failure to win close games. After a 28‑25 loss to Miami on Oct. 25, Glenn highlighted that the Jets have been outscored 27‑0 in the final two minutes before halftime and 107‑6 in those situations overall. He admitted his dual role in two‑minute decisions and defensive calls adds pressure, but says the owners, including Woody Johnson, aren’t likely to fire him this season. Analysts note his future hinges on turning tight games into wins before the offseason evaluation.
The 49ers are actively seeking a wide‑receiver upgrade as the trade deadline approaches. After a failed deal to re‑acquire Jauan Jennings from Minnesota, three new targets emerge: Rashod Bateman (Baltimore) – a low‑risk, high‑reward option after a lackluster 19‑catch season; Elic Ayomanor (Tennessee) – a 6‑foot‑2 prospect who fits Brock Purdy’s preference for taller receivers; and Malik Washington (Miami) – a speed‑driven playmaker with 31 catches, 329 yards and a touchdown, offering Deebo‑style versatility. Each candidate presents differing costs and upside as San Francisco looks to bolster depth before season’s end.
JJ Redick praises Lakers forward Sandro Mamukelashvili as a “rare” offensive talent, highlighting his ability to create, finish, and connect on the court. After a breakout 2025‑26 season with the Toronto Raptors—averaging 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists while finishing 10th in Sixth Man voting—the Lakers signed him to a four‑year, $52 million deal. In his first seven Lakers games his presence lifts the team’s offensive rating by 4.4 points per 100 possessions, despite a dip to 33.3% from three. Redick notes Mamukelashvili’s versatile skill set lets him space, screen, drive and act as a secondary playmaker, offering new options when Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves attack defenses. The next test comes Monday at 7 p.m. against the Miami Heat.
The White Sox claim infielder Graham Pauley off waivers from the Marlins, while outrighting left‑hander Ky Bush and outfielder Junior Pérez to Triple‑A Charlotte. Pauley, 26, offers strong defensive versatility at third base and a solid Triple‑A offensive line (.248/.336/.470, 114 wRC+), though he struggled at the big‑league level with a .209/.272/.364 slash in 370 plate appearances. The move coincides with the post‑season roster crunch as clubs prepare for the Rule 5 deadline on November 17. Bush, recovering from Tommy‑John surgery, and Pérez, a power‑speed prospect battling high strikeout rates, both face uphill battles to return to the majors.
The Miami Marlins claim right‑hander Cameron Weston off waivers from division rival New York Mets, according to The Athletic. Weston, drafted by the Orioles in 2022, was a top prospect (BA #13, FanGraphs #14) but saw his performance slip, posting a 7.89 ERA in Triple‑A Norfolk last season and making only one MLB appearance—a scoreless inning on May 28 versus Toronto. After a brief, strong stint with the Mets' Triple‑A Syracuse squad (1 run in 6⅓ innings, 10 K, 1 BB), the Marlins add him to the 40‑man roster, retaining two minor‑league options for flexibility.
Larry Csonka celebrates the Miami Dolphins' 1972 perfect 17-0 season as it remains the NFL's only undefeated campaign 54 years later. After the Minnesota Vikings fell 19-15 to the Detroit Lions, Csonka posted on X congratulating Detroit and thanking his '72 teammates. The Hall of Fame fullback, the franchise’s all‑time rushing leader (6,737 yards, 53 TDs) and Super Bowl VIII MVP, highlighted his 1,117 rushing yards and six touchdowns in the regular season and key playoff contributions. He recalled the legendary roster led by Don Shula, Mercury Morris, Paul Warfield and others that secured the historic record.
Victor Vodnik’s three‑year stint with the Colorado Rockies was marked by a blazing fastball but glaring inconsistency. Acquired in a 2023 deadline trade for Pierce Johnston, the former Braves #10 prospect posted a career‑low 0.1 rWAR in 2026, tallying a 5.25 ERA over 36 innings at Coors Field despite striking out 6.5 batters per nine and walking 4.75. His slider gained whiff but his control faltered, leading to a mid‑season trade to the Miami Marlins, where he posted a modest 4.37 ERA in 22.2 innings. The article reviews his stats, pitch mix, and why Colorado moved on.
The Lakers are treating Ziaire Williams’ foot soreness as a day‑to‑day issue after he missed the last three games. Coach JJ Redick says the irritation is minor and the team is being cautious with the upcoming back‑to‑back. In Williams’ absence, Jake LaRavia has stepped in, posting 6.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and solid shooting in three outings. Before the injury, Williams was averaging a career‑high 11.3 points and helping the Lakers outscore opponents by 29 points in 114 minutes. Los Angeles beat the Raptors 131‑125 on Sunday, improving to 5‑2, and will try to notch a sixth win against Miami on Monday at Crypto.com Arena.
According to multiple reports, the Miami Marlins signed Robinson Canó Jr. on Monday to a deal worth $1 million.
