Ahead of this Saturday's Miami vs. Notre Dame game was the bad news about Miami WR Malachi Toney suffering a high ankle sprain during practice. He'll need surgery and his timetable for returning is unknown.
Toney has had a remarkable 2026 season, to the point he was receiving serious consideration for Heisman award voting. In some ways, Toney and Miami QB Darian Mensah threatened to split some ballots.
Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith is also a strong Heisman contender, though his potential might be hampered with Buckeyes QB Julian Sayin out indefinitely with a shoulder injury.
The Arizona Cardinals have reportedly agreed to trade QB Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens. No word yet on the compensation involved.
It's feared that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will be out for the rest of the season after injuring his thumb this past Sunday.
Baltimore traded its 2028 second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles just last month for OL Cam Jurgens. There is a limited window remaining for RB Derrick Henry. We'll see how things play out for Brissett with the Ravens.
Arizona now has Gardner Menshew as its starting QB, with rookie Carson Beck elevated to the #2 role.

The timeline is a little different with the Tennessee Titans trade of All-Pro DT Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears compared with what was originally revealed. Apparently on Tuesday of last week, the Titans decided to field offers for Simmons.
You might be airtight on word getting out in your building, but the minute you start talking with other teams their leakiness might allow word to escape. Think of the adage of where there's smoke, there's fire.
Simmons had a strong debut for the Bears in Chicago's win over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.
