GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love says he doesn’t mind playing at least a little in the preseason. He made those comments even after a thumb injury in an exhibition game last year caused him to miss part of training camp. Love expects to play in the Packers’ first preseason game Thursday at Pittsburgh. He has played in Green Bay’s preseason opener each of his three previous seasons as a starter and injured his left thumb in an exhibition game last year with the New York Jets. He ended up undergoing surgery and returned to practice six days later.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have chosen Kyler Murray as their starting quarterback over J.J. McCarthy in the widely expected conclusion to what coach Kevin O’Connell pledged was a true competition. The announcement gives Murray a full month of full-time repetitions with the first-team offense before the regular season begins on Sept. 13. O’Connell and general manager Nolan Teasley met with both players in the morning to discuss the decision. An earlier decision on the starter was always going to be ideal for Murray as he’s learning a new system after spending his first seven NFL seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.

NEW YORK (AP) — CBS Sports president David Berson says he does not have a timeline for a decision about the future of Tony Romo. Romo is on leave from his job as the network’s lead NFL analyst following his arrest last month in Wisconsin on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence. Berson spoke to reporters during a network event on Tuesday. He said the decision to place Romo on leave was intended to shift attention toward the games and away from his legal situation. Analyst JJ Watt will join play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS Sports’ lead NFL team during Romo’s absence.

The Dallas Cowboys and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams have agreed on a $105.9 million, three-year extension going into his first full season with the team. The contract includes $101 million guaranteed and could keep Williams with the Cowboys through 2030 after they traded for him during the 2025 season. Dallas gave up one of the two first-round picks acquired in the shocking trade that sent star pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers just a week before the opener last year. Williams gave one of the league’s worst defenses a boost last year before the Cowboys faded and missed the playoffs.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills are responding to criticism over various issues at their new stadium — including partially obstructed sightline concerns — by addressing them on a case-by-case basis. The criticism stems from fans getting their first full experience inside the $2.1 billion Highmark Stadium during the Bills annual Blue and Red practice on Saturday night. Though the Bills said a majority of the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, a few complaints arose, which Bills president Pete Guelli termed as coming from less than 1% of the personal seat licensing holders. One of the larger concerns were seats with obstructed views, with several photos emerging on social media.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bo Bichette went 5 for 5 with a three-run double and scored three times, Luis Robert Jr. homered and drove in four, and the New York Mets routed the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1. Sean Manaea pitched seven strong innings and struck out 11, most by a New York starter this season. Francisco Alvarez also went deep and Jared Young had three hits for the last-place Mets, who improved to 5-1 on a nine-game trip following a substantial selloff ahead of last Monday’s trade deadline. Manaea allowed only Jake Mangum’s homer in the third. The big left-hander gave up three hits and walked none.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Michael Brennan had another chance on Sunday and this time got it done in a big way. Brennan ran off five straight birdies on the front nine and closed with a 64 for a three-shot victory in the Wyndham Championship. The victory in the final tournament of the regular season moves Brennan from No. 105 to No. 47 in the FedEx Cup to be among the top 70 who advance to the FedEx Cup playoffs. Beau Hossler couldn’t keep up and finished second. Jackson Koivun held down the 70th spot to go from college to the postseason in two months.
