The NFL is hours away from kicking off, and already the offseason's biggest contract story just got a lot louder. League sources tell ESPN that Lamar Jackson will not have a long-term extension with Baltimore before the season begins. The reigning MVP has been reluctant to engage in talks and is reportedly more focused on the two thousand twenty six season. The Ravens are playing hardball with the most dangerous quarterback in football, and that tension is only going to build as the wins — or losses — stack up.
Shifting to college football, and Oklahoma State just handed the sport its first genuine stunner of the young season. The Cowboys knocked off number six Oregon thirty nine to thirty one as twenty four point underdogs, and the Ducks are staring at a brutal margin for error in the playoff race. Oregon was sloppy in Week one against Boise State, and they were worse Saturday. The committee will have a long memory.
Meanwhile in the college game's injury report, Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables is watching closely after star linebacker Kip Lewis hurt his right knee against Michigan in a ten to seventeen Sooners loss. Lewis left in street clothes and didn't return. His status going forward could reshape Oklahoma's entire defensive identity.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
