Rams, Vikings hope to have key pieces back for prime-time meeting
Cooper Kupp is ready to return from an injury absence as the Los Angeles Rams prepare to face the Minnesota Vikings in Inglewood, Calif., on Thursday night. Kupp has not played since Week 2, when he sprained his ankle. He also wants to avoid too much discussion about his future as the NFL trade deadline approaches. "I'm aware of it," Kupp said about trade rumors, "but at the end of the day, I mean, I'm going to be where my feet are. That's all I know. I have a job to do here. And I take a lot of pride...
Boston College, Louisville try to brush off recent losses
Boston College will host Louisville in a matchup of Atlantic Coast Conference teams hoping to return to the winning track on Friday in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The Eagles (4-3, 1-2 ACC) have had peaks and valleys throughout their back-to-back losses at Virginia and Virginia Tech, including turning the ball over three times in each. In last Thursday's game, which followed a bye week, Bill O'Brien's team trailed 28-0 before a second-half comeback by the Thomas Castellanos-led offense fell short. "These are tough games, right? All of them are tough," O'Brien said. "We have to limit our mistakes. ... If we...

No. 13 Indiana starting new QB with "College GameDay," Washington visiting
Usually at this time of the year, Hoosiers are looking forward to the start of basketball season. Not this fall. Indiana's football team has captured the state's, if not the nation's, imagination. ESPN's "College GameDay" will be on campus Saturday in Bloomington, Ind., for only the second time ahead of the No. 13 Hoosiers (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) game against Washington (4-3, 2-2). Indiana first hosted "College GameDay" back in 2017 ahead of a Thursday game against Ohio State. Indiana thrashed Nebraska 56-7 last Saturday, leading to a headline in The Athletic early this week regarding the candidates for the...

Saints RB Alvin Kamara signs 2-year, $24.5M extension
Alvin Kamara is staying with the New Orleans Saints. The star running back, who recently denied rumors that he wanted to be traded, signed a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension that keeps him with New Orleans through 2026. Originally reported by NFL Network and the New Orleans Times-Picayune on Tuesday evening, the news was seemingly confirmed when Kamara and his teammates posted reactions to social media. "Yessssirrrr!!! AK all the way," Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan wrote. Kamara, 29, has spent his entire eight-year NFL career with New Orleans, which drafted him in the third round in 2017. He was...
Colorado star WR/CB Travis Hunter (shoulder) getting healthier
Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter is making progress from his right shoulder injury, and Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders is expecting him to play a bigger role against visiting Cincinnati on Saturday. Hunter has missed the second half of each of Colorado's past two games. He initially hurt the shoulder against Kansas State on Oct. 12 and missed the second half, then reaggravated the shoulder during the first half of last weekend's game against Arizona before again sitting out the second half. "Travis is better than last week," Sanders told reporters on Tuesday. "I think he'll have more productivity because he's...
Cardinals OLB Dennis Gardeck (ACL) done for season
Arizona Cardinals outside linebacker Dennis Gardeck was lost for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee during Monday night's 17-15 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Gardeck was injured in the third quarter during an Arizona punt return. He immediately grabbed at his knee. "It's a part of the game, but it's tough to swallow at times," Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday. "Obviously we know what he puts into the game and to his craft at being a pro and the teammate that he is. That's going to hurt." Gardeck, 30, is in his seventh NFL...
Raiders add QB Desmond Ridder, place Aidan O'Connell (thumb) on IR
The Las Vegas Raiders signed quarterback Desmond Ridder off the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad on Tuesday and placed quarterback Aidan O'Connell (fractured thumb) on injured reserve. In other moves, the Raiders signed wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. and tight end Trevon Wesco from the practice squad, and they cut defensive tackle Nesta Jade Silvera. The Cardinals had acquired Ridder, 25, in a March 14 trade with the Atlanta Falcons for wide receiver Rondale Moore. The Falcons selected Ridder in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft with the hopes he could replace Matt Ryan as the franchise quarterback. But...
South Carolina to retire number of program legend A'ja Wilson
Former South Carolina star A'ja Wilson will have her No. 22 jersey retired by the school on Feb. 2. Wilson, who won her third WNBA MVP award this season, led South Carolina to the 2017 national title. She was the consensus National Player of the Year for the 2017-18 season. The 6-foot-4 Wilson is the Gamecocks' all-time leading scorer with 2,389 career points. She won SEC Player of the Year honors three times and was a three-time first-team All-American. Wilson still holds 22 school records, according to South Carolina. She was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft by the Las Vegas Aces in 2018 and is a six-time All-Star and two-time WNBA champion. Wilson, now 28, also won her second Olympic gold medal for Team USA this summer. The jersey retirement will be held prior to a Feb. 2 game against Auburn. An 11-foot bronze statue of Wilson was unveiled outside Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, S.C., in 2021. --Field Level Media

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton is being evaluated by team doctors after he was involved in a car accident in Charlotte, N.C. A team spokesperson said that Dalton, his wife, three children and dog were traveling together at the time of Tuesday's accident.

SMU star TE RJ Maryland (knee) will miss rest of season
SMU standout tight end RJ Maryland is done for the season after sustaining a torn ACL in his right knee during last weekend's 40-10 rout of Stanford. Maryland was injured in the third quarter when he took a hit from Stanford cornerback Collin Wright after catching a short pass in the left flat. Mustangs coach Rhett Lashlee termed the blow as a "violent hit." "RJ is going to be out for the year," Lashlee told reporters Tuesday.
