Details
10 November 2025

The Packers listed three wide receivers as questionable to play in Monday night's home game against the Eagles and one of them will not be playing.

Rookie Matthew Golden is inactive for the game. Golden has a shoulder injury.

Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) are both in the lineup. Right tackle Zach Tom is also playing after being listed as questionable with a back injury.

Cornerback Nate Hobbs, kicker Lucas Havrisik, offensive lineman Jacob Monk, offensive lineman Donovan Jennings, and defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness join Golden on the inactive list.

Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and cornerback Michael Carter will be making their Eagles debuts and edge rusher Brandon Graham is active for the first time since coming out of retirement. Edge rusher Nolan Smith is also back after being activated from injured reserve.

Center Cam Jurgens, quarterback Sam Howell, cornerback Jaire Alexander, running back AJ Dillon, cornerback Mac McWilliams, and defensive tackle Ty Robinson are inactive for Philadelphia.

Daron Payne will appeal one-game suspension for punching Amon-Ra St. Brown

10 November 2025

The rain in Spain may or may not fall on Daron Payne.

The Commanders defensive tackle will appeal his one-game suspension for punching Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, via John Keim of ESPN.com. With the Commanders playing in Madrid on Sunday, he won't be able to make the trip unless he prevails.

It's been a mixed bag this year for suspended players. Lions safety Brian Branch's one-game suspension for hitting Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after a Week 5 game was upheld. The one-game suspension imposed on Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw for accosting referee Brad Allen after a Week 7 win over the Giants also was upheld. More recently, the one-game suspension of Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu for his third hip-drop tackle of the season was modified to a $100,000 fine.

The season began with the league suspending Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter one game with pay for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott before the first offensive snap of the game. Carter had been ejected. (Carter did not appeal.)

Payne was ejected, too. His infraction came with nine minutes left in the second quarter. Enough time apparently had elapsed to couple the ejection with an unpaid suspension.

The stakes for Payne are much higher than a paid trip to Spain. He'll lose $1.087 million, based on his salary of $19.56 million for 2025.

The appeals are heard by one of three hearing officers who are jointly hired and paid by the NFL and the NFL Players Association. Sooner than later, Payne and the Commanders will find out whether he'll be making the trek to Europe for a Week 11 game against the Dolphins.

Cowboys will honor Marshawn Kneeland with helmet decal, video tribute

Details
10 November 2025

The NFL honored the memory of Marshawn Kneeland during games this weekend. The Cowboys, though, didn't play.

They were on their off week last week when Kneeland died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to authorities, following a police chase early Thursday morning. He was 24.

The team returned to The Star on Monday, the first time they have met since Kneeland's death.

The Cowboys announced they will remember Kneeland in a number of ways.

Players will wear a helmet decal for the remainder of the season, and they also will wear special T-shirts before the next two games.

The Cowboys don't play at home until Nov. 23 against the Eagles when they will hold a moment of silence and video tribute before the game.

Kneeland's girlfriend, Catalina, and his family will attend the game, Clarence Hill of All City DLLS reports.

"He had a big passion and love for the game," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday. "He played with a high motor. He loved to get after it. Certainly, that jumped off the tape when you watched Marshawn when we were scouting him. I mean he just jumped off the tape, how he hustled, how he played the game, his passion for the game. And certainly, he was that way as a person and played that way for us and we're just going to miss him so much."
