You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Scott McTominay is opening up about something that goes well beyond the pitch. The Scotland midfielder revealed he received treatment on his heart just two days before their World Cup victory over Haiti in June. The fact that he played at all, let alone in a match of that magnitude, puts the result in a completely different light.
Shifting to the NFL, where the trade deadline is creating real movement around quarterback rooms. The Minnesota Vikings are making calls across the league, shopping for a quarterback ahead of Tuesday's cutoff, with ESPN and NFL Network both confirming the outreach. It's a clear signal that the front office isn't satisfied with what they're working with under center right now, and the clock is ticking fast.
Meanwhile over at the Jets, New York has been fielding trade calls on Geno Smith after his strong recent play, but per The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt, the organization isn't moving him unless the return is extraordinary. The more likely scenario is Smith coming back in two thousand twenty seven as a bridge option while the Jets figure out their long-term answer at the position.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
