Penguins absorb third-period collapse to drop 3-2 to Jets

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost their first game of the 2026-27 season, falling 3-2 to the Winnipeg Jets at PPG Paints Arena. Despite a strong start, the Penguins suffered a late collapse, surrendering three goals in 4:19 in the third period. Sergei Murashov made his season debut, stopping 31 of 34 shots, but could not prevent the Jets' surge. Ben Kindel and Declan Carlile each scored and assisted for Pittsburgh, but the team's defensive lapses proved costly.

Jets Tap Will Levis for Practice Squad, QB3 Behind Smith and Klubnik

The New York Jets reportedly sign QB Will Levis to their practice squad, releasing Bailey Zappe to clear room, making Levis the third string behind Geno Smith and Cade Klubnik. Levis, who started 21 games for the Titans across two seasons (3,899 yards, 21 TDs, 16 INTs), adds development potential after a late first‑round fall, with little downside for a roster that already has Smith and Klubnik at the top.

Packers’ OT Win Exposes Penalty Problem and OL Woes

Green Bay’s overtime victory over the Jets masked a broader collapse in discipline and roster depth: 14 penalties for 133 yards (26 accepted in two games), an injury-riddled offensive line, and a depleted receiver corps that forced a hastily assembled group to carry the load. The piece argues the win came despite, not because of, coaching and personnel decisions by Matt LaFleur, highlighting costly penalties, line struggles, and risky receiver gambles as the key takeaways from the game.

Van Ness Leads Packers Through Injury-Heavy OT Triumph Over Jets

Green Bay survived an injury-plagued day to beat the Jets in overtime, with quarterback Jordan Love playing through a numb throwing hand and the rebuilt O-line decimated by exits. Watson and Golden each had four catches as rookies contributed, while Lukas Van Ness anchored the defense with 1.5 sacks and nine tackles. Chris Brooks led the backfield and helped set up the OT-winning drive, and rookie J. Michael Sturdivant saw important late snaps in his NFL debut.

Packers’ Jayden Reed updates status after neck-injury scare vs. Jets

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed left the game vs. the Jets on a medical cart after a neck injury; he posted on X that he’s doing much better and thanked supporters, while coach Matt LaFleur said he has movement in all extremities. Reed previously missed 10 games in 2025 with a broken collarbone, later had a Jones fracture surgery, and had signed a three-year, $50 million extension before this season.

Packers Rally to OT Win Over Jets, Snap Six-Game Slump

Green Bay erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Jets 20-17 in overtime, despite a volley of injuries and an avalanche of penalties. Lukas Van Ness anchored the defense with a dominant all-around performance, and rookie Trey Smack nailed a 26-yard field goal in OT to seal the win, snapping the Packers’ six-game skid dating back to last season and moving them to 1-1 on the year.

Packers lean on depth as Van Ness clears, Hargrave out for Jets game

Green Bay’s Week 2 matchup at the Jets features Lukas Van Ness cleared to play while Javon Hargrave is out after failing concussion protocol, leaving the Packers thin at defensive tackle behind Warren Brinson. The team did not elevate any practice-squad players, sticking with a five-man DT rotation and preparing Anthony Campbell for his NFL debut. Pierre Strong wasn’t elevated, Nyjalik Kelly and Domani Jackson weren’t promoted, and Eric Johnson remains on the practice squad. Jets upgraded with kicker Jason Sanders and LB Troy Reeder; Omar Cooper was placed on IR. The takeaway: Green Bay must rely on its current depth and run game against a Jets offense that could test the defense down the middle.

Jets Tap Hidden Run-Stuffer to Disrupt Packers

Jets Tap Hidden Run-Stuffer to Disrupt Packers

The Jets may lean on defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat as a bigger run-stopping presence against the Packers in Week 2. Sweat, who played only 15 snaps in Week 1, is a notable run defender (PFF run-defense grade 79.2) and showed pass-rush ability, which could be pivotal in potentially wet conditions that favor the run. With the Jets’ heavy Week 1 blitz (44.9% of snaps) and strong team run defense, Sweat’s midline disruption could force Green Bay into longer downs, letting New York pressure Jordan Love and tilt the matchup in their favor as they aim for a 2-0 start.

Jets place rookie WR Omar Cooper on IR, four-game minimum

The Jets are placing rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper on injured reserve with an ankle injury, meaning he will miss at least four games after suffering the injury in last Sunday's win over the Titans. The move comes ahead of Sunday’s game vs Packers, and the Jets signed veteran Sterling Shepard to the practice squad, who could join Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams, and Arian Smith as targets while Cooper is out.

Packers rule Brinson out, Hargrave in concussion protocol ahead of Jets game

Green Bay ruled out Warren Brinson (calf) for Sunday's game vs. the Jets, with Javon Hargrave listed doubtful in concussion protocol; the Packers expect to lean on Wyatt, Brooks and Ford on the DL, while several linemen were limited on Friday and call-ups could be used if needed. Jets have ruled out Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle), Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin), Kene Nwangwu (back) and Joseph Ossai (foot); Will McDonald IV is questionable, and D’Angelo Ponds has no status.

Hurricanes Keep Pressure in Hellebuyck Trade Chase

The Carolina Hurricanes have reportedly made multiple offers to acquire Connor Hellebuyck, with a package centered on defenseman Alexander Nikishin, goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov, and at least one first-round pick; Winnipeg reportedly wants a top-six forward, and trade talks are ongoing. Hellebuyck is under a five-year, $8.5M AAV deal with a full no-movement clause and is currently suspended for not reporting to training camp, though he reportedly prefers to play in the United States. No deal is finalized yet.
