Police in a Dallas suburb say 24-year-old Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland was found dead of an apparent suicide after evading authorities in his vehicle and fleeing the scene of an accident on foot. Police said Kneeland didn’t stop for Texas Department of Public Safety troopers over a traffic violation on Wednesday night. Kneeland was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound early Thursday morning, about three hours after the crash, police said. According to police dispatch recordings from Broadcastify, people were concerned for Kneeland after he had sent a group text “saying goodbye.”

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers opted to stand pat rather than make a move for another veteran wide receiver at the trade deadline. That decision was fine by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who says he likes the group of pass catchers at his disposal for the first-place Steelers. Pittsburgh did sign Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad, reuniting him with Rodgers, whom he played alongside in Green Bay earlier in their respective careers. The Steelers are the only team in the NFL who have had nine different players catch a touchdown and eight different players with at least 100 yards receiving. Rodgers has credited the group for not being selfish, one of the reasons he thinks they’ve been successful.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets are undergoing a major rebuild after trading stars Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. Gardner was sent to Indianapolis on Tuesday and Williams was dealt to Dallas. The trades brought in first-round draft picks for 2026 and 2027, signaling a long-term strategy. Jets coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey emphasized patience and opportunity. Glenn reiterated the team will be one fans can be proud of, though the Jets are likely to miss the playoffs for the 15th straight year. The focus now shifts to future drafts and finding a franchise quarterback.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The NHL now has a 900-goal club. Charter member: Alex Ovechkin, of course. The Washington star pushed his record total to a new level Wednesday night, scoring against the St. Louis Blues to reach 900. The milestone came 2:39 into the second period. Ovechkin was lurking in the offensive zone and was at the bottom of the right circle when he backhanded Jakob Chychrun’s rebound past a sliding Jordan Binnington, who wasn’t able to recover in time. The bench cleared to celebrate the 40-year-old’s accomplishment, while Binnington tucked the milestone puck into his pants.

Ohio State received top billing in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season, followed by Indiana, Texas A&M and Alabama. The top three head into the final four weeks of the regular season undefeated. Another team with no losses, BYU of the Big 12, was ranked seventh. At No. 5 was Georgia, followed by Mississippi. All of the top six came from either the Big Ten or Southeastern Conference — a dose of business as usual despite a season that has been anything but predictable. Pitt is No. 24. The Panthers are riding a five game win streak and are 7-2 overall and in third place in the ACC with a 5-1 record.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad, reuniting him with former teammate Aaron Rodgers. Valdes-Scantling played with Rodgers in Green Bay from 2018 to 2021. The 31-year-old receiver won two Super Bowls with Kansas City in 2022 and 2023. He was most recently with the San Francisco 49ers, catching four passes for 40 yards before being released last month. The Steelers lead the AFC North at 5-3 but have struggled with consistent production from their wide receivers outside of star DK Metcalf.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jacoby Brissett threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score filling in again for Kyler Murray, and the Arizona Cardinals stopped a five-game losing streak with a 27-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Brissett made his third consecutive start after the week began with expectations of Murray returning from a foot injury coming off the team’s open week. Instead, the Cardinals pivoted to Brissett. Arizona won for just the second time in the past 18 games when Murray didn’t take at least five snaps or sat out entirely. The Cowboys couldn’t build on the momentum of Sam Williams’ blocked punt that was recovered in the end zone by Marshawn Kneeland.
