>>Rays Fight Back To Beat Brewers; Stave-Off WS Elimination
(St. Petersburg, FL) — The Rays are still alive in the World Series. Ben Williamson chopped a pinch-hit single to drive-in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning of a 4-3 victory. Jonny DeLuca tied things up with an RBI-single in the same frame as Tampa avoided a four-game sweep. Shane Drohan gave up the winning run and surrendered four straight hits without recording an out for Milwaukee, which will try to eliminate the Rays again in Game Five on Wednesday.
>>Colts Trade Guard Nelson To Seahawks
(Indianapolis, IN) — The Indianapolis Colts appear ready to start waving the white flag over their season. The team traded eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for mid-round picks in the 2027 and 2028 NFL Drafts. Nelson is in the final year of his contract, giving Indy cause to get something of value now than risk losing him in free agency.
>>Report: Colts Trade DT Buckner To 49ers
(Undated) — The Colts continue to pick their roster apart. According to ESPN, Indianapolis is trading defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers. In exchange, the Colts will be receiving a 2027 fourth round pick. Buckner returns to the Niners after San Francisco selected him in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. The 32-year-old has recorded four sacks this season.
>>Giants Place RB Tracy On Injured Reserve
(East Rutherford, NJ) — The New York Giants’ running back depth is taking a hit. Tyrone Tracy Jr. is being placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury suffered during Sunday’s win over the Houston Texans. General manager Joe Schoen says Tracy will miss at least four weeks, but the injury is not believed to be season-ending.
>>Cousins To Remain Raiders’ Starting Quarterback
(Las Vegas, NV) — There will be no change under center for the Las Vegas Raiders amid a four-game losing streak. Head coach Klint Kubiak says Kirk Cousins will stay above rookie Fernando Mendoza on the depth chart for Sunday’s visit to the New York Jets. The 38-year-old’s future was in doubt after Las Vegas lost this past weekend, but he’s been among the few bright spots so far this season. Cousins leads the NFL in touchdown passes and ranks third in passing yards.
>>Report: Anthony Edwards Out With Knee Injury
(Undated) — The Timberwolves are going to be without their top player for a while. According to ESPN, guard Anthony Edwards will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his ailing right knee that will sideline him for up to two months. Edwards was listed as questionable on the T-Wolves’ injury report before Monday’s battle against the Cavaliers, but played a season-high 41 minutes in the overtime loss.
>>Thunder’s Williams, Wallace Out With Injuries
(Oklahoma City, OK) — The Oklahoma City Thunder’s season could be altered by a pair of serious injuries. General manager Sam Presti said that guard Jalen Williams and forward Cason Wallace will be out indefinitely. Williams will undergo surgery to repair a broken leg and dislocated ankle suffered on Sunday night, while Wallace is set to go under the knife for a torn labrum. Timetables for each player’s return will be set after the procedures, but they’re expected to miss months if not the rest of the season.
>>Oregon QB To Miss Rest Of Season
(Eugene, OR) — Oregon quarterback Dante Moore will spend the rest of the season on the sidelines as he recovers from a concussion. Head coach Dan Lanning said that Moore has not been cleared to return from the head injury suffered against USC last month. The Ducks’ star was projected as a first-round NFL Draft pick, but could return to school for another season under the NCAA’s eligibility model.
>>Alabama CB Accused Of Threatening Officer
(Tuscaloosa, AL) — Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. is accused of threatening the police officer who arrested him over a year ago. Kirkpatrick was arrested this past Friday for doxing and harassing communications. The misdemeanor charges stem from a profanity-laced text message to the officer and the posting of a picture of his family on social media. Kirkpatrick was suspended from the Alabama football team shortly after being charged.
