Tristan Wirfs misses Week 1 after a knee procedure, forcing Tampa Bay to shuffle the line. Graham Barton steps in at left tackle, Ben Bredeson moves to center, and Michael Jordan starts at guard, a rotation built around Barton’s Duke-era left-tackle experience. The change tightens protection for Baker Mayfield and aims to preserve the run game while Wirfs rehabs.

Barton’s edge presence could unlock more mobility on the outside, letting Mayfield stay upright and the backs find better lanes early. If Barton settles in quickly, TB’s offense could maintain efficiency in Week 1 despite Wirfs’ absence and then recalibrate upon Wirfs’ return.

Philadelphia escaped a weather-delayed opener 24-20 over Dallas, riding Hurts’ efficient night and a defense that tightened late after Jalen Carter’s ejection. The win lands as Philadelphia signs Za’Darius Smith to bolster edge rush and adds Javon Baker to the practice squad, while injuries and a controversial spitting incident swirl around Carter. Up next, a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs streams tonight on YouTube.

The Charlotte Hornets have a new ownership after Michael Jordan sold the team to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall for approximately $3 billion. This sale price is now viewed as reasonable compared to the team's current valuation of $3.39 billion, as reported by Sportico.

Despite the sale, the Hornets rank 27th among NBA teams in value and have struggled significantly, failing to make the playoffs since 2016. Their performance and market size contribute to their low ranking, but the new owners hope to improve the situation.
