You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get you caught up.
In the NHL, the Dallas Stars are absorbing a significant blow to their forward group. Matt Duchene is heading to the sideline for up to three months following core muscle surgery, confirmed by the team Monday. That's a long stretch for a Stars offense that was counting on him to produce.
Shifting to the NFL, the Green Bay Packers got the win over Chicago on Sunday, but they're paying a steep price. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave tore his Achilles during the game, and tests confirmed Monday it's season-ending. Losing a veteran presence in the middle of that defensive line is a serious problem for Green Bay as the season heats up.
And in college football, week six is shaping up to be a defining moment across the sport. Georgia looks locked in, but Alabama is drawing questions, and Texas is under the microscope after a rough stretch that has the hot seat conversation getting louder. The Big Twelve landscape is shifting fast, and Bill Connelly says this weekend could sort out a lot of the noise.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
