American football quarterback (NFL)
Texas Tech has offered to buy out its Week 1 game against Abilene Christian so it can host Texas in a potential Week 1 showdown; a bid that follows Texas coach Sarkisian’s comments on strength of schedule and a larger playoff conversation. Texas Tech supports quarterback Brendan Sorsby amid his gambling-integration case while pledging to back his reinstatement petition.
Teddy Bridgewater has been placed on the reserve/retired list, prompting Detroit to lean on Jared Goff’s backfield and rookie Luke Altmyer. The Lions signaled a future quarterback plan as they assess options after the veteran’s exit.
