Jordan Love is pushing through a sore back and expects to suit up against the Detroit Lions, and that is significant news for Green Bay. The Packers cannot afford to hand Detroit any extra edge in what is already a brutal divisional matchup, so Love's availability could be the difference-maker in a game with real NFC North implications.
Shifting to Philadelphia, Saquon Barkley is expected to return to practice Thursday after missing time with an injury, and Eagles fans can exhale a little. Barkley has been an absolute force for this offense, and getting him back on the field, even in a limited capacity, changes the calculus entirely for what Philadelphia wants to do moving forward.
And in the NBA, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors got humbled in their season opener, dropping one hundred twenty seven to one hundred five to the Los Angeles Lakers on the road. It was not close. LA controlled the game wire to wire, and suddenly the questions about this Warriors roster and whether Curry's contract extension made sense are already flying fast and loud.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
