Mike Florio reports that the Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Commanders and Pittsburgh Steelers are circling Jacksonville’s wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. Thomas, a former first‑rounder (No. 23, 2024), has seen his role shrink to nine catches for 105 yards and one TD in six games this season. The Steelers also show strong interest in Colts receiver Josh Downs, who could fetch a third‑round pick. Jacksonville previously rebuffed sizable offers, leaving his trade value uncertain.
The San Francisco Giants trade infielder Nate Furman to the Washington Nationals for 23‑year‑old left‑handed prospect Tony Neubeck, clearing a spot on their 40‑man roster ahead of the deadline. Neubeck, who signed with Washington in August 2026, posted six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and a 0.50 WHIP in two minor‑league outings. Furman, who debuted with the Giants on Aug. 1, appeared in 22 games this season, posting modest numbers, and spent most of 2026 with Triple‑A Sacramento, hitting .293 with 25 doubles, seven homers and 48 RBI. The move adds a promising left‑handed arm for San Francisco while giving Washington a disciplined infielder.
Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels publicly saluted injured star Terry McLaurin after a key eight‑yard TD to Stefon Diggs tied the game 10‑10 against Philadelphia on Sunday Night Football. Daniels, who finished 11‑of‑21 for 96 yards and added 23 rushing yards, led the Commanders to a 13‑10 halftime lead, outscoring the Eagles 10‑0 in the second quarter. McLaurin remains out with a torn left patellar tendon, while the Eagles also miss Jalen Hurts due to blood clots, with Tanner McKee completing 8 of 14 for 81 yards. The shoutout highlighted the team's resolve despite major injuries.
The San Francisco Giants trade second baseman Nate Furman to the Washington Nationals for left‑handed minor‑league pitcher Tony Neubeck as they clear roster space before the Monday 60‑Day IL reinstatement deadline. Furman, a 25‑year‑old who debuted this season and logged a .125/.243/.125 line in 22 MLB games, becomes expendable with Casey Schmitt and Marcelo Mayer slated for second base. Neubeck, a 23‑year‑old undrafted free agent from Indiana, posted 13 strikeouts in nine Low‑A innings and isn’t on either 40‑man roster. The swap offers Washington a young bench option and gives the Giants a potential arm for future depth.
The Washington Capitals and Minnesota Wild were set up for a thrilling finish until officials whistled Tom Wilson for a controversial high-sticking call on Zach Bogosian with 3:50 remaining in the third period. The Wild were already ahead 2-1 when Wilson was sent to the box. As Bogosian tried to clear the puck up the
The Nationals have picked up infielder Nate Furman from the Giants, with pitcher Tony Neubeck heading to San Francisco in return and left‑hander Richard Lovelady designated for assignment. Furman, a 25‑year‑old left‑handed hitter who debuted this season and logged a .125/.243/.125 line in 39 MLB plate appearances, brings a .292/.400/.404 minor‑league slash line and 69 steals in 1287 PA. He primarily played second base last two years, offering a rare left‑handed option for Washington. The move follows a recent waiver claim of Braxton Roxby and comes as the Giants scramble to cut their 40‑man roster before the deadline.
With just two games left in Week 8, the NFC playoff picture is shaping up. The Seattle‑Chicago Monday night clash will decide who climbs—if the Seahawks win they jump to 7th and push the Bears to 8th; a Bears victory lifts them to 5th while Seattle falls to 9th. Meanwhile, the Eagles‑Commanders on Sunday night fight to escape the bottom. The current standings have the 49ers and Vikings leading at 6‑1, the Giants at 4‑2‑1, and the Lions and Bears tied at 5‑2 in the NFC‑North.

The club declined to extend Bilal Coulibaly. Johnson, the No. 6 pick in the 2025 draft, earns $9.06 M next season, while Riley is set for $3.86 M.

Veteran Byron Cowart is promoted from the practice squad, and rookie QB Athan Kaliakmanis sits as the emergency third quarterback after Marcus Mariota’s return.

That leaves four active receivers—Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore—and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. starting at linebacker. Rookie QB Cole Payton is active, and running backs Saquon Barkley, Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue suit up, with rookie edge rusher Mason Reiger debuting. Washington also loses DT Daron Payne, DT Javon Kinlaw and WR Treylon Burds remains active despite earlier doubts, while Terry McLaurin stays out for the season.
McIlrath was a healthy scratch for eight of the Capitals’ 12 games before the waiver placement.
The Philadelphia Eagles have decided not to move running back Saquon Barkley before the upcoming trade deadline, according to insiders Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport. Despite a 2-5 start, Jalen Hurts’ season-ending injury, and Barkley’s modest production (43 carries for 244 yards and one TD through Week 7), the front office believes the roster can compete into 2027 and isn’t entertaining a trade. However, they remain open to acquiring a player if the deal fits long‑term plans. The news comes ahead of the Eagles’ Week 8 showdown with the Washington Commanders.

Orlando, motivated after a 30‑point loss to Toronto and a recent win over the Knicks, will be missing key players including Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs. The game streams on LeaguePass and airs locally on Team 980 AM.
