In Cleveland, Shedeur Sanders is getting his shot. With Deshaun Watson still stuck in concussion protocol, the Browns have officially named Sanders their starting quarterback for Sunday's matchup against the Saints. This is the moment the rookie has been waiting for, and now the whole league is watching.
Shifting to Los Angeles, the Rams are getting a massive boost on the defensive front. Myles Garrett is on track to come off injured reserve and suit up against the Commanders this Sunday, per NFL Network sources. The star pass rusher returning at full strength could completely change the complexion of that game and the Rams' playoff outlook heading into the second half of the season.
And over in baseball, the offseason market is about to make history. Back-to-back Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is hitting free agency this winter, and the expectation is that he'll shatter the record for the richest pitching contract ever signed, surpassing the three hundred twenty five million dollar deal the Dodgers handed Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Skubal turns thirty in November and is coming off two of the most dominant seasons any pitcher has put together in years.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
