Nick Robertson made the most of an expanded role in the Toronto Maple Leafs' recent 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils, continuing a stretch of strong play that is becoming harder to overlook. Given increased ice time in the win, Robertson again delivered effective, consistent play, reinforcing the idea that he has earned an expanded role as coach Craig Berube evaluates his lineup options.

"I thought he did some good things," Gannon said of Harrison. "We moved him around the formation. He scored points for us. He got open, caught it. I don't think he's hit his ceiling and look forward to the future with that."

"Luckily for all of us, he's had experience in similar systems," LaFleur said. "He was with Vegas last year with [Packers senior assistant Luke] Getsy. He's been in Atlanta with Arthur Smith, and Arthur and I have obviously worked together before. So there is some common language, I would say. I know, just talking to him, he was in Minnesota, and I'm sure that Kevin [O'Connell's] got so

Disappointment can be found in all corners of this Ashes series. England's victory came too late. Australia may have secured the urn again but Glenn McGrath's usual prediction didn't hold. It's been a serious letdown for the neutral, never mind that a 3-2 scoreline is still in the offing. This was meant to be the one where England had a shot, where the Sydney finale would actually have something on the line beyond World Test Championship points.

Nylander is day-to-day still. He's doing better but still day-to-day. Matthews will be a game-time decision. Tanev is lower-body, it's not the same injury. He's getting evaluated today so we'll have a better timeline later today on him,

Chelsea remain without Levi Colwill, who continues his rehabilitation from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, while Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia are also sidelined with thigh problems. Marc Cucurella misses out after the left-back was forced off during the second half of the defeat to Aston Villa with a suspected hamstring issue. Malo Gusto deputises, with full-back Jorrel Hato also absent after missing the weekend squad.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- When the Arizona Cardinals allow themselves to finally take a breath after the season, whether that's on a beach in Cabo or on a couch in Arizona, and start dissecting how 2025 went, they'll keep coming back to one question. What went wrong? For a team that won eight games in 2024 and had playoff aspirations, this season fell far below expectations. At 3-13, the Cardinals have tied their worst record in the modern era. A loss Sunday will give them their worst single-season record since the 1970 merger.

Tiger Woods turned 50 on Tuesday, making the 15-time major championship winner eligible to compete on the PGA Tour Champions circuit once he recovers from his latest health setbacks. Woods hasn't publicly said whether he intends to play on the former Senior PGA Tour, which allows golfers to use carts and has a 54-hole format at most tournaments outside of the 72-hole majors.

Bayern enjoyed a record start to the season, winning 16 games in a row. The record Bundesliga champions are sitting at the top of the Bundesliga with a lead of nine points. They are unbeaten in the league. Meanwhile, Die Roten's form in the Champions League and DFB Pokal has also been impressive. They are in the quarterfinals of the DFB Pokal. Kompany's men are also on track to finish in the top eight of the Champions League group stage.

This season in Santa Clara has played out like a survival reality show. Injuries have turned the roster into a walking triage unit. Brock Purdy missed eight games. Four of the team's five best non-quarterbacks were missing for Sunday's game against the Bears. By all laws of football, the 49ers should be spiraling. And instead, the one guy who should be breaking down McCaffrey isn't just surviving; he's thriving.

He didn't practice at all this week and coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be a game-time decision. The hope is Kittle will be healthy enough to face Seattle in next week's regular-season finale, although if the 49ers are not in position for the top seed or a first-round home game, he and other key players could be held out, depending on how 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan wants to handle it.

If this is a sign of things to come, Jovic could be showing some life at the perfect time for the Miami Heat. Jovic finished with 19 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists on 50 percent shooting from the field for the Heat in their big win over the Pacers Saturday night. And with the Heat nursing multiple key injuries, Jovic finally breaking out of his season-long slump would only mean good things for this Heat team.

If the Patriots need a get-right game after how the last two weeks went, Sunday presents a perfect opportunity to do that. The Patriots take on the 3-12 Jets in East Rutherford on Sunday. Not only are the 12-3 Patriots 13.5-point favorites to win this game, but they also easily dispatched the Jets earlier in the season. They took down New York, 27-14, in a pretty decisive Thursday night victory.

No, not for this game [Newcastle], they are recovering. I don't think it will take a lot of time, I think Kobbie will return faster than Bruno.
