🔥 Seahawks Sign Myles Gaskin to Practice Squad: In an effort to bolster their running back depth, the Seattle Seahawks have signed former Washington Huskies standout Myles Gaskin to the practice squad. To make room for Gaskin, they’ve parted ways with Khalil Herbert, who was recently signed on September 23, 2025.
💥 Khalil Herbert Quickly Finds a New Home: It didn’t take long for Herbert to land on his feet. Just one day after being released by the Seahawks, the New York Jets signed the veteran running back. This move comes as Jets’ running back Braelon Allen is dealing with an injury, further shuffling the running back depth across the league.
🔵 Seahawks Running Back Duo: With Zach Charbonnet healthy and Ken Walker leading the charge, the Seahawks appear confident in their one-two punch at running back. Gaskin’s addition offers some insurance, adding an experienced option behind Charbonnet and Walker.
⚔️ Seahawks vs. Buccaneers: Week 5 will feature an exciting matchup between the Seahawks and Buccaneers, with both teams wearing throwback uniforms. The Seahawks are favored by 3 points in the NFL odds, with both teams hoping to make a statement.
🌀 Mini-Bye Week for the Seahawks: After a Thursday Night Football game, the Seahawks enjoyed a mini-bye week to rest and recharge. Head coach Mike Macdonald emphasized the importance of staying sharp as they prepare for Week 5.
Roman Anthony Receives First Positive Update from Alex Cora
In a much-needed boost for the Boston Red Sox, the team has received its first positive update on Roman Anthony’s recovery from injury, courtesy of head coach Alex Cora. After weeks of uncertainty, Cora revealed that Anthony has made encouraging progress, marking a hopeful turn in the young star’s comeback.
“Roman has started his recovery with some light workouts, including walking on the treadmill for about 25 minutes,” Cora shared in a recent interview. “Although we don’t have a set return date yet, this is a very positive sign, and we’re optimistic about his progress.”
Anthony, who has been sidelined due to a left intercostal strain, was initially expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks. However, the latest update suggests he may return sooner than expected, adding excitement to the Red Sox’s postseason hopes. Fans and analysts are eager to see the 21-year-old outfielder back in action, especially after his standout performance earlier in the season.
Before the injury, Anthony was enjoying an impressive year, batting .292 with 8 home runs and 32 RBIs across 71 games. His strong showing had made him one of the brightest prospects in the organization, and many are looking to him to play a key role in the Red Sox’s future.
With the team battling for a playoff spot, Anthony’s potential return is a critical development. His return to full health could provide a major lift to the team’s offense as they push for postseason success. Fans are hopeful that the young star will be back in the lineup soon and ready to contribute to the Red Sox’s championship aspirations.
