Terry McLaurin of the Washington Commanders was carted off the field with a season‑ending knee injury on Monday night, ending his 2026 campaign. The same day, the Indianapolis Colts announced the dismissal of general manager Chris Ballard, who had served in the role since 2017. The Colts lost to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The news comes as the league prepares for Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season.

The UK government approved production from the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, a decision that has sparked intense debate over environmental and economic impacts. Ministers said the first gas could be produced by the end of this month, helping heat millions of homes, and announced the creation of a new energy wealth fund. Environmental campaigners warned the decision would hamper efforts to tackle climate change and make no meaningful difference to UK energy security. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch accused the prime minister of dithering on Jackdaw and urged the repeal of a ban on new oil and gas licences. Andy Burnham defended the decision, saying the previous Tory government had messed up the original choice.

Fantasy football analysts recommend starting Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints, citing the Saints’ high allowance of 28.7 half‑PPR points per game to running backs. Dowdle, who returned from a dislocated toe, split carries with Jaylen Warren in Week 6 and is expected to see significant opportunities in Week 7. Conversely, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is advised to sit, as the Titans face a tough matchup against the Cleveland Browns, who give up only 14.6 points per game to running backs. Pollard’s Week 6 performance—19 carries for 76 yards—did not justify a start. The Steelers’ head coach, Mike McCarthy, plans to keep both backs involved, noting that “Jaylen is one of the hottest players in the National Football League…and I know what Rico can do.”

The New Orleans Saints have announced that rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week. General Manager Mickey Loomis said at a Wednesday press conference that Tyson, who was drafted eighth overall, will not be in Paris for the Sunday game against the Steelers. Tyson has been sidelined since a hamstring injury in mid‑August, and head coach Kellen Moore noted the injury is unrelated to previous hamstring issues. Loomis said the player is improving but offered no specific timetable for his return. The Saints’ bye in Week eight means the earliest possible debut is the Week nine home game against the Browns.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced that American Family Field will host watch parties for World Series games three and four. Fans can purchase tickets for $15, with a limit of six per person. Parking will be available for $15 per vehicle in preferred lots and $10 in general parking. Ticket presale for season‑ticket members begins at noon Wednesday, followed by general sale Thursday morning. The parties will feature food, beverage, shopping, and interactive fan activities.

The Los Angeles Chargers plan to simplify their offense following confusion over pre‑snap motion. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said the team will narrow the playbook during the bye week. The offense used motion on seventy‑four percent of snaps last week, the fourth highest in the league. The team’s worst offense in the NFL hopes these changes improve production. Justin Herbert struggled in the loss to the Chiefs, throwing only one touchdown in each of his first five games.

Australian independent MP Helen Haines, 65, had both legs amputated after being struck by a car on Monday near her Wangaratta office. The incident, described by police as a targeted attack, left her in a stable condition at a Melbourne hospital. Haines’ husband, Phil, said surgeons had to amputate her legs after days in intensive care. Brendan Nugent, 43, was charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury, intentionally causing serious injury, and the federal offence of harming a public official, carrying a maximum 10‑year sentence. Nugent also faces charges for cannabis cultivation and possession. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese praised Haines as a “fighter” and called for respectful disagreement amid rising threats to elected officials.

Ryan Murphy’s musical comedy drama "Glee" is set to return on Hulu and Disney+ after a decade away. The series premiered on Fox in two thousand nine and ran for six seasons until two thousand fifteen. In two thousand ten the show was adapted for a concert tour captured on film. Around the same time the cast overtook The Beatles as the non‑solo act with the most Billboard Hot 100 appearances. On Wednesday, Max George said he would love to return and that Ryan Murphy will probably write something genius. Michelle and Chris Colfer have expressed enthusiasm, though Colfer noted the difficulty following Naya Rivera’s death.
