Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
In Detroit, the Red Wings have named Shawn Horcoff interim general manager as the franchise continues its search for a permanent replacement for Steve Yzerman. Horcoff steps up from his assistant GM role, taking the reins of a storied organization at a critical moment heading into the season.
Meanwhile in Ottawa, Drake Batherson is staying put for a long time. The Senators forward has locked in an eight-year, eighty-six million dollar extension that runs through the two thousand thirty-four to thirty-five season. That's a major commitment from Ottawa, signaling real confidence in Batherson as a cornerstone of their rebuild going forward.
And in New York, the Jets are sweating the health of rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Junior after he exited their week one win over Tennessee in the first quarter. Sources tell NFL Network the second-year wideout suffered an ankle sprain, though MRI results offered some encouraging signs. He's listed week-to-week, and for a Jets offense still finding its footing, every snap he misses matters.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
