"We agree that -- unfortunately -- our on-field performance has not lived up to the standard of winning we have for the program," athletic director Mark Ingram said in a statement announcing the decision. "I wish Coach Dilfer the best and thank him for his class, tireless work and commitment during his tenure at UAB. "While his efforts did not translate into a winning record, each young man who played for him will be a better person as a result."

Kayshon Boutte was among the loudest voices who consistently expressed his displeasure with the team and even the coaching during the year, and he wasn't often wrong. but didn't have the best awareness of when it was appropriate to air some dirty laundry. He often complained about his lack of usage on offense, which isn't entirely unheard of with wide receivers, so there wasn't much made of it.

LAS VEGAS -- Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders and was ruled out before the start of the third quarter. Ridley finished the day having played six snaps. The veteran receiver caught one pass for 18 yards on two targets from quarterback Cam Ward.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will not return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts with a concussion. Harrison left the game with 6:59 left in the second quarter after the back of his head hit the turf following a 21-yard catch. He sat on the ground for a few moments and then went to the sideline. Trainers led him to the blue injury tent, where he was initially evaluated for a concussion.

There weren't many high-scoring games in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season, but teams certainly made up for it in Week 2. Nearly every game in the early slate on Sunday scored 40 or more points, which was good news for fantasy football players and general fans. With all of this scoring, there were a few games that came down to the wire, including the back-and-forth battle between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

Going into another game where the odds are stacked in their favor, the Patriots are hoping to win a third game in a row and build upon the impressive performance they displayed against the Bills last Sunday night. They should be able to accomplish that against the 1-4 Saints, even on the road, but they will be short in a key area that could become a problem throughout the afternoon.

CINCINNATI -- New Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco will have one of the NFL's best receivers as a target for his debut with the club. All-Pro wideout Ja'Marr Chase is expected to play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Chase was officially listed as questionable for this weekend's road contest after he suffered an illness on Thursday. He participated in the team's walkthrough on Friday morning before being sent home for the team's practice, coach Zac Taylor said.

Starting center Cooper Beebe, who established himself as a cornerstone of the unit during his rookie season, sustained a high-ankle sprain during the team's 40-37 overtime victory over the New York Giants in Week 2. Beebe's injury occurred late in the contest, forcing him to leave the field as overtime commenced. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport provided details about the expected timeline for Beebe's return.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is not expected to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts because of a foot injury suffered last weekend, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler. Veteran backup Jacoby Brissett would start in Murray's place at Lucas Oil Stadium, where Brissett played from 2017-2020. Murray only practiced Friday after injuring his foot in a loss to the Tennessee Titans.
