Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Winston Jr. (quadricep) was a limited participant in practice Oct. 21, according to the team’s injury report. 

It’s a step forward for Winston, who has missed the past two games and did not practice leading up to the 26-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 18. 

Titans coach Robert Saleh said Oct. 21 that Winston’s work during individual period would determine if he could participate in the team period.

Winston has had an MRI but Saleh didn't know the grade of the injury.

The latest installment of the Cowboys-Packers did not yield an exciting game. It nevertheless delivered in the ratings department.

Via Nielsen, the game generated 24.656 million viewers on NBC. It snaps a steak of two straight Sunday night games that averaged fewer than 20 million viewers.

The game was lopsided, with the Packers leading 17-0 at the half. It was never less than a two-score game from the moment the Packers' lead went to 10-0 in the second quarter.

Via NBC, the audience peaked at 28.7 million in the 9:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. ET window.

This week, the Seahawks host the 5-0 Chiefs on Sunday night in a game featuring the return of Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III to Seattle.

Michael Carrick issued an apology to Manchester United's drenched supporters before coldly bypassing his players following their dismal 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Como. The heavy defeat has left Carrick's position hanging by a thread, with United fans vocally demanding his dismissal.

Of the 700 supporters who had made the trip to Como in torrential rain, the majority had already vacated the open-ended away section before the final whistle had even blown. After exchanging handshakes with Cesc Fabregas, Carrick headed straight toward the approximately 100 fans who had stayed behind.

The embattled manager placed one hand on his chest and raised both arms as a gesture of apology before striding past his players and heading down the tunnel. United have claimed just two victories from their 11 outings across all competitions this season, and Wednesday's display against Como was arguably the lowest point of what has been a deeply disappointing campaign.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Carrick said, via The Mirror: "It was more than disappointing. I think everybody has got to take responsibility for that. I 100 percent take responsibility for the overall team and the performance - that's where it stops.

"It stops with me and I'm absolutely fine with that. I accept that totally. But as a supporter of this football club for so long, to see a performance like that is unacceptable, I have to say.

"I care an unbelievable amount about the supporters. They are the heartbeat of this football club and they always will be. For them to travel, I had to apologize for the performance. To have to watch a performance like that, I totally feel for them. There are no excuses at all. It is not acceptable."

Carrick added on the topic on his future: "It's not about me. It's about digesting the game and how it went. That is the most important thing right now."

United captain Bruno Fernandes, who was subbed off after a poor display, suggested that Carrick and his staff got their tactics wrong. "It's a decision from the staff to not press man to man and sometimes leave space behind and try to get the ball, wait for them, but sometimes when you give space to these teams they get confidence," Fernandes explained.

"That's on the manager and staff to see, not me. Sometimes you have to be more brave under pressure, take the risk of pressing high and making them uncomfortable. As you saw with them [Como], the center-back was coming to mark me in my own half. We need to do that as a team but we were unable to.

"A team that plays through the middle with small connections, if you give them too much time and space then they can hurt you out wide."

Carrick responded to Fernandes' comments in his press conference, saying: "We actually half-pressed man-to-man the second half and then conceded a goal from that. And there's a little bit on whatever system you play, whatever tactics you play, if you don't run, and you don't run forward, and you don't run back, you ain't going to win."

The 45-year-old went on to say: "We might win, we might lose, but the way we went about it tonight, I wouldn't say everyone, but the way we went about it in some ways tonight wasn't acceptable. And I just wanted to let the fans know that I feel for them, for sure.

"It wasn't just the goals, if I'm totally honest. It was the manner and the way we played at times, in the way we went about it, that was the difficult thing to watch for me.

"It's not about playing for me, it's about playing for this football club," he said. "It's the responsibility that comes with being in the position; I'm responsible for the football club and the supporters. I'm giving my best, absolute best all the time, I care about it. My whole life's wrapped around it. I genuinely give everything that I possibly can."

When asked if his players were doing the same, Carrick replied: "I'd like to think so. I didn't like what I saw tonight, though."

The Green Bay Packers released the team’s first injury report of Week 7 on Wednesday. The team will release two more injury reports, including a final injury report on Friday with official playing status designations, before facing the Detroit Lions in Week 7 of the 2026 season on Sunday.

While a few important players avoided injuries coming out of Sunday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys, the Packers did add five players with new injuries on the first injury report, including quarterback Jordan Love and top receivers Matthew Golden and Christian Watson. The Lions, meanwhile, listed just three players, including two players expected to return from injury lists.

Neither team held a full practice on Wednesday, so participation designations are estimates. The Packers went through a walk-through.

Here’s everything to know from the week's first injury report:

• Limited participation: LG Aaron Banks (knee/toe), DL Anthony Campbell (ankle), CB Brandon Cisse (shoulder/neck), WR Matthew Golden (shoulder), QB Jordan Love (back), DL Jordon Riley (Achilles), CB Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring), WR Christian Watson (ankle), WR Savion Williams (ankle)
• Did not participate: WR Bo Melton (back)

• Limited participation: CB Rock Ya-Sin (hamstring)
• Full participation: S Brian Branch (Achilles), C Cade Mays (wrist)

-- Tight end Tucker Kraft, center Sean Rhyan and running back MarShawn Lloyd were all evaluated for injuries on the field during Sunday's win over the Cowboys, but the Packers didn't list any of the three on the first injury report. Good news.

-- All the hits on Jordan Love were eventually going to take a toll physically. He has a new back injury. (Insert Love has a back injury from carrying the team all season jokes here.) Receiver Matthew Golden has a new shoulder injury, while receiver Christian Watson is dealing with a new ankle injury. All three were estimated as limited participants on Wednesday, so availability concerns for Sunday should be minimal. Still, something to watch this week.

-- Receiver/special teamer Bo Melton didn't practice on Wednesday, so there's a chance he's in danger of not playing Sunday.

-- For the first time all season, defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt is no longer listed on the injury report. He might finally be 100 percent after last season's significant ankle injury. The Packers also removed Jacob Monk, Keisean Nixon, Evan Williams and Lukas Van Ness from the injury report to start Week 7.

-- Cornerback Brandon Cisse left Sunday's win over the Cowboys with a stinger injury, but he was able to participate on Wednesday. Cornerback Benjamin St-Juste returned to practice after missing last week with a hamstring injury.

-- The Lions are expecting to return safety Brian Branch and center Cade Mays this week. Branch provides a big boost for a beleaguered secondary, while Mays is expected to start right away at center.
