Vikings place CB Jeff Okudah on injured reserve

Details
08 November 2025

The Vikings' weekly pregame roster moves for Week 10 include the placement of cornerback Jeff Okudah on injured reserve.

Okudah suffered a concussion during the Week 8 loss to the Chargers. He missed last Sunday's win over the Lions.

By landing on IR, Okudah will miss at least the next four games.

The third overall pick in the 2020 draft by the Lions, the 26-year-old Okudah signed a one-year deal with the Vikings in March. He has appeared in six regular-season games.

The Vikings filled his roster spot by signing cornerback Fabian Moreau from the practice squad. The Vikings also elevated running back Corey Kiner from the practice squad.

The 4-4 Vikings host the 3-5 Ravens on Sunday.

George Pickens is fined $17,389 for taunting

Details
08 November 2025

In the fourth quarter of Monday night's game against the Cardinals, the Cowboys were down by 10 points and driving. After making a catch for a first down in Arizona territory, Pickens held the ball in the direction of Cardinals cornerback Denzel Burke.

Pickens was flagged for taunting.

On Saturday, the league announced that Pickens has been fined $17,389.

The penalty added 15 yards to the Cowboys' effort to carve deeper into what had been a 17-point Cardinals lead. The Cowboys didn't score again in the game.

For Pickens, it was a reminder that — despite having immense talent — there's an immaturity that can rear its head an inopportune times. And that will become a factor for any team monitoring his performance in 2025 (which has been very impressive) with an eye toward possibly trying to sign him in free agency, if Pickens and the Cowboys can't come to agreement on a new deal.

Graham Gano doesn’t travel with Giants, setting up Younghoe Koo to kick vs. Bears

Details
08 November 2025

The Giants will have another new kicker when they take on the Bears on Sunday.  

Graham Gano didn’t travel to Chicago, officially setting up Younghoe Koo to takeover kicking duties for Sunday's contest.

Koo hasn’t officially been elevated from the practice squad yet, but Brian Daboll indicated on Friday that he’d be Big Blue’s choice if Gano were to miss another game.

“If he has to be the guy, he’ll be the guy,” the head coach said.

Gano sat out of practice all week due to a herniated disk in his neck. 

Koo’s been on the practice squad since Gano’s first injury, but he failed to surpass Jude McAtamney as the replacement. 

McAtamney filled the role for four weeks, but was released after struggling. 

Gano has appeared in each of the past two games, but now he’s back on the sidelines with another injury. 

Despite the long wait, Koo is ready to make his Giants debut. 

“I'm grateful for the opportunity,” he said. “I’ve been making it count every week and just staying ready.”
