Aaron Donald says the plan is to play Monday night when the Rams host the Giants, and that is exactly the kind of news a defense needs heading into a primetime game. The caveat? Wide receiver Puka Nacua sat out Friday's practice with a hip issue, so the offensive side of the ball carries a question mark into the week.
Shifting to the NBA, the Detroit Pistons are making serious moves to lock up their core. Ausar Thompson, the All-Defensive forward, has agreed to a five-year, one hundred fifty-five million dollar rookie extension, and he is not alone. Miami Heat guard Pelle Larsson also secured his bag Friday, inking a four-year, sixty million dollar deal. The twenty twenty-three draft class is getting paid, and the question now is who from that group steps up next to sign on the dotted line.
Meanwhile in Cincinnati, Joe Burrow is listed as questionable heading into Week Two, and the entire Bengals fanbase is holding its breath. Head coach Zac Taylor has been measured with his words, but any week that starts with Burrow's status in doubt is a week the AFC North watches very closely.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
