Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed that the team will move forward with quarterback Dak Prescott as the starter. “Dak is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) aggravated his hamstring injury in the third quarter and is questionable to return on Monday night against the Titans.

Jose Reyes Plans To Play In 2019
Free-agent infielder Jose Reyes plans to play in 2019. Reyes will turn 36 next June and hit a pathetic .189/.260/.320 with four home runs, 16 RBI and five stolen bases for the Mets in 228 at-bats. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal as a utility player somewhere and is no longer […]

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said he has informed manager Joe Maddon that the team will not discuss a contract extension this winter and will re-evaluate the situation later in the 2019 season.

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner "has a chance to be" the team's full-time left fielder in 2019, but "no promises have been made," according to general manager Brian Cashman.

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receiver Geronimo Allison (groin) saw a core specialist in Philadelphia and is dealing with a significant injury that could require surgery.

Sonny Gray Attracting Trade Interest
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that he has "a lot of teams" interested in starting pitcher Sonny Gray.

Charles Clay Week-To-Week
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) is week-to-week.

Derek Anderson To Start In Week 10 With Clearance
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) will start in Week 10 against the Jets if rookie Josh Allen (elbow) cannot play and if Anderson is cleared from the concussion protocol. A concussed Anderson is still probably better than Peterman, who threw three more interceptions (including another pick-six) in his […]

CC Sabathia, Yankees Showing Mutual Interest
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he thinks free-agent starting pitcher CC Sabathia would like to stay in New York, and the Yankees are interested in re-signing him.
