In Green Bay, Christian Watson gets the green light this week as the Packers prepare for action, while return specialist Keisean Nixon sits in questionable territory heading into the weekend. Jordan Love will have one of his key weapons available, and that matters in a tight NFC North race.
Shifting gears to the boardroom, the SEC is seriously weighing a luxury tax on programs that exceed the revenue-sharing cap established under the House versus NCAA settlement. Schools that outspend the threshold could face financial penalties, and this signals that college football's new economic era is about to get its first real enforcement teeth. The implications stretch well beyond the Southeast.
And in Dallas, Jerry Jones is pushing back hard on any suggestion that he'd let a dollar figure stand between him and his next head coach. Jones called the notion ridiculous, defending comments that had raised eyebrows earlier in the week. Whether that conviction translates into landing a proven winner is the question Cowboys fans have been asking for years now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
