That hit looked bad enough that they need to be cautious and not rush him back even if it's just week one.
Steelers Seek More From Struggling DK Metcalf
x/aaron-rodgers
— 4d
Metcalf had four catches for 40 yards and multiple drops in Week 1, a performance that prompted critics to question his body control and reliability while still noting he’s open enough to help Pittsburgh’s passing game with Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers won, but their offense overall struggled, and the team needs Metcalf to rebound quickly after the costly drops and missed opportunities as the season progresses.

Brock Bowers Expected to Miss Games After Knee Surgery
x/las-vegas-raiders
— Sep 9, 2026
Raiders tight end Brock Bowers underwent a meniscus trim and is expected to miss one or two games to start the season, including Week 1 against the Dolphins, with Michael Mayer likely stepping in at tight end. His absence could stretch into Week 2 against the Chargers, leaving the Raiders without their top pass-catching weapon early in 2026.

Bowers missing the opener hurts but a quick meniscus trim usually means a fast return, so Mayer has his chance to shine early.
A.J. Brown questionable to return after ankle injury in Patriots opener
x/a-j-brown
— Sep 10, 2026
Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown left his debut against the Seahawks in the third quarter with an ankle injury and was ruled questionable to return while undergoing further evaluation, after posting three catches for 26 yards and drawing a late first-half DPI. The injury immediately followed his strong start in New England, with team officials updating his status as the medical tent examined him and he headed to the locker room for further checks.

Brown was off to a nice start with those catches before the ankle slowed him down.

USC Freshman Mosley Leads Nation in TD Catches
x/lincoln-riley
— Sep 9, 2026
USC freshman Trent Mosley has emerged as a breakout playmaker, piling up 11 receptions for 222 yards and three touchdowns in two games and drawing high praise from Lincoln Riley for his preparation and mental consistency. With a rapid rise in production and early-season hype, Mosley is even projected by some to top 1,000 receiving yards this season as he forms a dangerous connection with Jayden Maiava, underpinned by a family ethos of the Five Ps that emphasizes preparation.

x/nvidia
— 5d
Hyundai Motor Group will roll out Nvidia-backed Level 2+/2++ driver-assistance systems from 2028, with full in-house Atria AI development pushed to 2029, as the company leans on data partnerships and external chips to accelerate deployment. The group is building a data flywheel around its 42dot unit, leveraging a fleet of more than 7 million annual vehicle sales to continuously collect real-world data, train AI with edge-case focus, and integrate improvements into vehicles, while pursuing broader autonomy milestones including a late-2020s pilot and safety-focused validation.

Their focus on safety validation before wider rollout is the right priority even if it means lagging Tesla on timelines.

An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane overran the runway at Miami International Airport, collided with multiple vehicles, and burst into flames, triggering a large emergency response and the temporary closure of all runways.

The White Sox activated Kyle Teel from the injured list and optioned rookie Drew Romo to Triple-A Charlotte, reshaping their catching depth as they push for the AL Central title.

The Chicago Cubs have activated and started Javier Assad for a key Marlins series, signaling ongoing rotation shuffling as he returns from Triple-A Iowa and remains a trusted option with a 3.46 ERA this season.
