NFL teams are officially turning their attention to Week 5, and there's good news in Washington.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday morning that franchise quarterback Jayden Daniels has been cleared to practice in full. Marcus Mariota went 1-1 in Daniels' stead, beating the Las Vegas Raiders his first start but losing to the Atlanta Falcons last week.

Daniels has been battling a knee sprain suffered in Week 2's loss at the Green Bay Packers, and he wore a brace on Wednesday. "I plan on going out there Sunday," Daniels said.

The San Francisco 49ers, meanwhile, are in a more dire spot. Quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receivers Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall and Jordan Watkins were all ruled out for Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams, a critical NFC West road game.

Lamar Jackson, meanwhile, didn't practice Wednesday for the Baltimore Ravens with his hamstring injury, and his status for Sunday is in doubt. Jackson left last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with the injury, and if he can't go, Cooper Rush will make the start. Head coach John Harbaugh characterized Jackson, like all Ravens injured players, as day to day.

And the Cleveland Browns are making a big move at quarterback, with third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel taking over the starting job from veteran Joe Flacco. Gabriel's first game will be in London Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, which isn't an ideal defense to face in any week, let alone your first NFL start. But Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said the decision was his.

"[Gabriel] has handled everything well since he's been on campus here. So just gonna have to support the young man," Stefanski said Wednesday.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is still battling a calf issue.

"The calf needs more treatment. The calf needs more time," Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday, noting that the team is taking it "day-to-day" with Hubbard.

Hubbard got a rest day Wednesday, Canales said. Hubbard carried the ball 10 times for 49 yards during a Week 4 blowout loss to the New England Patriots.

"He was able to play and still played at a high level, the way that we expected him to play, and ran the ball hard all the way through it. But coming out of it, we just didn't feel like he wasn't in a better spot coming out of the game than he was the week before. So we're going to treat that day-to-day."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was spotted in a walking boot Wednesday.

Irving was seen with a walking boot on his left foot and was also using crutches as the team performed its walkthrough Wednesday, per Rick Stroud.

Bucs RB Bucky Irving was wearing a boot on his left foot and was using crutches. OLB Haason Reddick has a stinger Sunday but is at practice. So is DT Greg Gaines, who left with a pectoral injury. Still no Mike Evans, obviously. It's a walk thru so tough to discern who is going.…

— Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) October 1, 2025

The team has yet to update Irving's status after head coach Todd Bowles said the running back was having an MRI on Monday. Given the crutches and walking boot, it's likely Irving will be listed as "out" for Wednesday's practice once the team releases its first injury report of the week.

Jane Fonda is following in her Hollywood icon father's footsteps to defend the First Amendment.

The 87-year-old actress and longtime activist has enlisted over 550 of her superstar peers to relaunch the Committee for the First Amendment at a time she calls "the most frightening moment of my life."

"I'm 87 years old. I've seen war, repression, protest, and backlash. I've been celebrated, and I've been branded an enemy of the state. But I can tell you this: this is the most frightening moment of my life," Fonda admitted in a letter shared with CNN, asking her peers to join the relaunched committee.

She continued, "When I feel scared, I look to history. I wish there were a secret playbook with all the answers — but there never has been. That's why I believe the time is now to relaunch the Committee for the First Amendment — the same Committee my father, Henry Fonda, joined with other artists during the McCarthy era, when so many were silenced or even imprisoned simply for their words and their craft."

Fonda concluded her letter, saying, "The stakes are too high, and silence is too costly They're betting on our fear and our silence. But our industry — and artists around the world — have a long history of refusing to be silenced, even in the darkest times."

The original committee was first created by Henry Fonda in 1947 during the McCarthy era's "Second Red Scare" — a period of growing fear about communist infiltration and Soviet Union influence in Washington, Hollywood, and beyond — in an effort to defend free speech and oppose government activity. At the time, the committee had icons like Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland as participants.

The committee was met with backlash for its suspected ties to the Communist Party, which many of its famous Hollywood members balked at.

This time around, the relaunched committee includes support from artists of all mediums, including filmmakers Spike Lee, Barry Jenkins, J.J. Abrams, Patty Jenkins, Aaron Sorkin, and Judd Apatow; TV show creator Quinta Brunson; musicians Barbra Streisand, John Legend, Janelle Monáe, Gracie Abrams, and Billie Eilish; comedians Margaret Cho, Tiffany Haddish, and Nikki Glaser; as well as actors Lily Tomlin, Mandy Patinkin, Whoopi Goldberg, Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway, Kerry Washington, Pedro Pascal, Natalie Portman, Viola Davis, Susan Sarandon, and Ben Stiller.

"The federal government is once again engaged in a coordinated campaign to silence critics in the government, the media, the judiciary, academia, and the entertainment industry," the committee wrote in a statement posted to its website on Wednesday. "We refuse to stand by and let that happen."

The statement continued, "Free speech and free expression are the inalienable rights of every American of all backgrounds and political beliefs — no matter how liberal or conservative you may be. The ability to criticize, question, protest, and even mock those in power is foundational to what America has always aspired to be."

The statement added, "We understand that this is a frightening and confusing moment for many people. We recognize that we represent just one group of many who are under threat right now... Americans of every walk of life are facing intimidation and censorship too — and we stand with them."

Declaring that this isn't a "partisan issue," the statement concluded with a pointed callout to "those who profit from our work while threatening the livelihoods of everyday working people, bowing to government censorship, and cowering to brute intimidation. We see you and history will not forget. This will not be the last you hear from us."

Fonda's relaunch of the committee comes amid a dire state of American politics and, specifically, a tumultuous chapter in late-night television that has seen President Donald Trump publicly criticize hosts who have been vocal critics of his presidency.**

Political discussions on late-night TV have been thrust into the spotlight since July, when CBS announced that *The Late Show With Stephen Colbert* would end in May 2026, several days after Colbert criticized the network's parent company, Paramount, for settling a lawsuit from Trump.

The move was suggested by FCC chair Brendan Carr, who also criticized Kimmel's comments.**

The decision led to a wave of backlash from notable figures in Hollywood, who all criticized the move as an attack on free speech. Conan O'Brien wrote that Kimmel's suspension "should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center," while Bill Maher called out the network for remaining silent after pulling *Jimmy Kimmel Live* from the air. Several stars also moved to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions in solidarity with Kimmel's firing.**

Where To Travel in 2026, According to Experts

Travelers are already dreaming big for 2026 — and not just in terms of miles logged.

After years of shifting travel habits, experts say wanderlust is swinging wide open, with people craving both the comfort of iconic destinations and the thrill of charting new territory. While the itineraries will vary — from America's legendary national parks to once-in-a-lifetime adventures across the globe — a trend is becoming clear: Trips are getting bigger, bolder, and more intentional.

Think chasing misty waterfalls in Yosemite, trekking through Peru, digging into smoky barbecue in Austin, or even boarding an expedition cruise bound for Antarctica — yes, that's possible now. Wherever the journey leads, travelers aren't just checking boxes — they're seeking experiences that feel unforgettable and worth the splurge.

Here's a closer look at the destinations experts say will see more visitors next year.

Where to travel in 2026U.S. National Parks

National parks are expected to be high on travelers' lists for 2026, thanks in part to the influence of popular shows like Yellowstone, according to travel experts such as Sydney Brehm. And for many travelers, nothing beats the classics.

"Yosemite's expecting to have its biggest year of visitation on record for 2025, and I don't see that changing for next year," says Brehm, a lead guide at National Park specialist Good Trip Adventures. Nestled in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, Yosemite continues to draw visitors with its dramatic granite cliffs, giant sequoias, and world-famous waterfalls.

Brehm says other iconic spots — from the Grand Canyon to Zion, Yellowstone, and the nearby Tetons — aren't slowing down either. However, she notes that travelers are becoming more savvy about how they plan, as the Trump administration has cut nearly a quarter of the National Park Service's workforce through layoffs, resignations, and a hiring freeze — all while insisting the parks stay "open and accessible."

However, the strain is evident: visitor centers and campgrounds have shortened hours or shut down, fee stations are dark, and emergency response is stretched thin.

Looking ahead, Brehm says it's tough to predict exactly how 2026 will play out. "We've seen parks close their campgrounds a little early or open them a little later, change the way they're managing reservation systems — the parks are doing the best they can. I think it's our responsibility, especially as a tour company, to educate people we bring into these spaces, make sure they're recreating responsibly, and understand that the parks are hurting."

Against that backdrop, parkgoers haven't been deterred, but they're adapting in ways like steering clear of desert parks in the height of summer or heading out earlier in the season to avoid wildfire smoke. "I certainly think that's a very real consequence of climate change," she says.

Far-flung and exotic destinations

Lucy Mason, a travel coordinator at Atlas Adventures, says the destinations drawing the most interest — and where they're selling the most group trips — include Egypt, Peru, Morocco, and Japan. Europe isn't out of the picture, though: "We're just seeing a surge of interest in spots that were once under the radar, like Umbria in Italy or Switzerland," she says.

Mason attributes the pull toward these far-flung adventures to travelers seeking experiences that are both bucket-list worthy and immersive — experiences that go beyond the typical tourist trail.

"I am always so encouraged by both our clients and our guests on Atlas Adventures — they want more cultural and off-the-beaten-path experiences, they want to learn about new cultures and really immerse themselves in these once-in-a-lifetime experiences," Mason tells us. "There's definitely a move away from Instagram famous spots and more intrigue into how to discover new places."

Less traditional hotspots, such as Saudi Arabia, Bhutan, and even Antarctica, are starting to emerge on travel radars, offering adventure and cultural intrigue for those looking beyond the usual routes.

Mason notes that Saudi Arabia is high on her own wish list, drawn to its mix of ancient history and ambitious new tourism projects. The country has been opening its doors more widely to international visitors, showcasing everything from Red Sea resorts to the desert region of AlUla.

Bhutan, meanwhile, continues to attract those seeking cultural immersion and Himalayan landscapes, guided by its "high value, low volume" model that limits visitor numbers through a Sustainable Development Fee and emphasizes sustainability. And Antarctica — long considered the final frontier — is attracting more tourism, thanks to expedition cruises that make the icy continent more accessible than ever.

Austin, Texas

Austin's reputation has been rising over the past few years as events like Austin City Limits and SXSW attract bigger names (including our very own Katie Couric), and foodies expose the absolutely drool-worthy culinary scene. And that growth shows no signs of stopping. According to Chloe Buss, regional director of field operations at the short-term rental start-up AvantStay, it's shaping up to be one of the top destinations next year. "Austin will be our biggest jewel," she says. Why? The barbecue, Tex-Mex, and impressive festival lineups, for starters. Plus, the very recent surge of interest in Formula 1 racing (thank you, Netflix and Brad Pitt) has led to an increase in attendees at Austin's annual Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix.

But even if you skip the headline events, Buss says Austin still delivers — and stays true to the city's famous "Keep Austin Weird" vibe.

"Austin's unique because you can go from a world-class festival to a dive bar where a local band's playing, sip a vodka soda out of a plastic cup, and have just as great a time. It's the best of both worlds — and that's what keeps drawing people there," she tells us.

Upstate New York

Buss also highlights upstate New York as a rising favorite. "Lake Tahoe will always be a draw," she says, "but what about the Hudson Valley? There are so many other beautiful places to explore."

Take Ithaca, for example: the town topped CNN Travel's 2025 list of Best Towns in America to Visit, thanks to its dramatic waterfalls and gorges at spots like Buttermilk Falls and Robert H. Treman State Park. CNN also praised the town's lively cultural scene, from long-running operations like the Ithaca Farmers Market to newer favorites such as South Hill Cider.

More broadly, tourism across upstate New York has been booming, with Central New York alone seeing an 80 percent jump in visitor spending since 2019, and regions like the Catskills and Adirondacks also drawing record crowds as travelers seek out nature and charm.

Planning smarter in 2026

Of course, not every trip has to happen right away — or break the bank. Mason says that if dream destinations feel out of reach, it can help to plan further out. "For travelers on a tighter budget, it can make sense to hold off on Japan for a few years," she explains. "These spots go through waves of popularity, and Covid really shifted those patterns."

Another money-saving tip Mason emphasizes is investing in travel insurance — something she says she's relied on "more times than I can count." Insurance can help cover delays, lost luggage, theft, or medical emergencies. In the U.S., she adds, many policies also include coverage for trip cancellation or abandonment in the event of a serious illness or the death of a loved one.

Whether you travel now or later, planning is half the fun, right? And that can start anytime.

NBC averaged just 3.22 million viewers for Sunday's Ryder Cup singles matches at Bethpage Black in New York, according to the Sports Business Journal's Josh Carpenter. That made it the least-viewed U.S. Ryder Cup Sunday since before 2000. By comparison, the last U.S. Ryder Cup drew about 3.51 million viewers when it was at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

Europe, on the other hand, was locked in to the Ryder Cup on Sunday — which makes sense, not only because they won the cup 15-13, but due to the fact that they entered the final day of play with a massive lead. Sky Sports said it had a record 5 million viewers watching on Sunday, which is up 45% from the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. The weekend, it said, was the most-watched in Sky Sports history.

Now to be fair, the Ryder Cup is never going to draw a massive audience in the United States. The final day of play always goes up against the NFL, which takes a significant chunk of viewers away. Sunday was also the final day of the MLB regular season.

But the United States' performance over the first two days certainly didn't help any. Europe took a dominant 11.5-4.5 lead over the Americans into Sunday's singles matches, which marked the largest European lead after two days in Ryder Cup history. They needed just 2.5 points to retain the cup, and then gained an extra half point before play even started on Sunday after Viktor Hovland had to withdraw with his neck injury.

Though the U.S. team made a run on Sunday to suddenly get back in it, Europe escaped with the win after Shane Lowry secured the cup with a birdie on No. 18.

The win for Europe was its first on American soil since 2012, though they've won nine of the last 12 outings in what's been a truly dominant stretch for the continent. The Ryder Cup will return to Europe in 2027, when it's held at Adare Manor in Ireland. Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota will play host in 2029.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — The shouts of "Yeah, Tom!" started the moment Tom Cillo crossed the white paint on the sideline and stepped onto the field at Girardi Stadium.

After a couple of bounces to expend some of the nervous energy and a playful cup of his left ear toward the crowd, the oldest freshman nose tackle in the country dropped down into a three-point stance.

Cillo glanced across the line of scrimmage at King's College freshman center Anthony D'Antonio, four decades younger than the 58-year-old Cillo.

"What's up, Tom?" D'Antonio said, extending his hand out of respect. Cillo returned the favor.

A few seconds later, the pleasantries ended. D'Antonio snapped the ball and surged toward Cillo. Cillo, at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, "small" only by football's outsized standards, rose to meet him.

The whistle soon sounded to signal the end of the play following a shortish gain. And in that moment, Cillo was no longer burdened by the inescapable mid-life question of "what if?" He was no longer a curiosity, but an official, game-tested NCAA Division III college football player, just like everyone else in uniform on this sun-drenched early fall Sunday.

Even if, in many ways, Cillo is like no one else.

"It doesn't compare to the birth of your children," the father of three said after making his debut as a member of Lycoming's junior varsity in a 16-9 victory on Sept. 28. "But I'm telling you, from a competitor's standpoint and a guy that's loved to compete at different things over the years, I think this goes to the top of the chart. This was awesome."

And, he stressed, just the beginning. Those adrenaline-fueled half-dozen snaps did not mark the end of a journey, but merely a milepost along the way.

"Now that I've got some actual game reps, it's going to keep building," Cillo said, the smile emerging from his salt-and-pepper beard growing ever wider. "I can't wait."

Why would he? He's waited long enough. Far too long, if he's being honest.

'Put it out of sight'

So how did Cillo get here? How did a guy who is drawing from his pension and will be eligible for Social Security before he graduates end up leading his Gen Z teammates in an old-school postgame cheer of "Hip Hip Hooray"? How did someone who drives to campus every day in a sedan that might be older than some of his fellow freshmen become an unlikely — if perfect — brand ambassador for a topical pain reliever as part of a NIL deal?

Dave Bellomo is glad you asked.

Bellomo and Cillo — who have known each other for 30 years — were sipping beer in the middle of a catch-up session last spring when the conversation took a turn.

Cillo had recently left his job as part of the Williamsport Recreation Department, where for more than three decades he kept the local streets and parks clean in the north-central Pennsylvania town most widely known as the home of the Little League World Series. He took a maintenance gig at Williamsport Area High School, where he graduated from in 1984, to give himself something to do.

Somewhere deep inside, Cillo could feel the clock ticking.

"I have some regrets," Cillo told Bellomo.

Not going to college was one of them. Never playing football — Cillo made it through a couple of training camp practices in high school before quitting — was another.

Bellomo, who served as Cillo's de facto trainer as Cillo navigated everything from power lifting to marathons to triathlons, had one question.

"I'm like, 'Why don't you?'" Bellomo said.

Bellomo pointed out that Cillo had been able to make it to his late 50s without any serious injuries. He'd stopped using recreational drugs in his early 20s and said goodbye to heavy drinking in his 30s, replacing those vices with a relentless curiosity and an innate desire to test himself.

Plus, Cillo's kids — stepson Shawn is 32, Nicole is 28 and Ryan is 21 — are now grown. Ana, his wife of nearly 30 years, had always been wary but supportive whenever her husband wanted to try something new. There was literally nothing holding him back.

Well, other than the fact that no one has ever done something quite like this.

There have been AARP-eligible college football players before. Tom Thompson and Alan Moore were both 61 when they booted extra points. Mike Flynt returned from a long break from the game to play one final season at linebacker for NAIA-level Sul Ross State at 59. Joe Thomas Sr. moonlighted as a running back for South Carolina State at 55.

All of them, however, had some level of experience. And none of them played in the trenches. Cillo, a lifelong Raiders fan, knew plenty about football but had never buckled a chinstrap in a meaningful way in his life.

If he was going to make a run at this, he would be starting from scratch less than 24 months from the start of his 60s.

Who cares, Bellomo told him. Hearing someone else say out loud what he'd long told himself privately provided the spark Cillo needed.

"It's time to put regret, not even in the rearview mirror, but time to put it out of sight," Cillo said. "Rearview mirror means you can still see it. I wanted it out of the picture altogether. It was time. It was now or never."

Bellomo, who has trained athletes off and on since the 1990s, came up with a plan. Strength wasn't going to be an issue, not for someone who can pull a firetruck. Conditioning, flexibility and recovery were another matter entirely.

Enter what Bellomo called "'Rocky'-type stuff."

Sprinting up the massive hill that leads up to Williamsport High School. Then doing it again, only this time while carrying a 100-pound rock. Stretching exercises that would bring Cillo to the brink of tears. Cold immersion. Myofascial Therapy. Saunas.

And that was the easy part.

Cillo needed to apply to Lycoming, a small school of just over 1,000 students, and get accepted. Navigating the sea of paperwork wasn't exactly easy for someone who hadn't been in the classroom for 40 years. Throw in the fiscal strain of paying for tuition out of pocket — Cillo is using some of that pension to offset the cost — and it's a lot.

"I'm taking a risk academically, I'm taking a risk physically, definitely a risk financially," Cillo said. "I smile a lot, but I'm smiling through the stress."

'Pump the brakes, brother'

Lycoming defensive coordinator Steve Wiser, who actually taught Cillo during high school, called Warriors junior defensive lineman Mason Woodward shortly before training camp started, in need of a favor.

Wiser asked Woodward to help out an incoming freshman. When Wiser mentioned, "By the way, Tom is 58," Woodward thought it was a prank.

Then Cillo incline-pressed 315 pounds nearly a dozen times.

"That's when I knew it was serious," Woodward said.

Being strong is one thing. Knowing how to use that strength to play football is something else. For all of the wisdom gleaned from his life experiences, Cillo was a neophyte when it came to Xs and Os.

"It was tough," Cillo said. "Some days I'd wake up and say, 'You've got to get around.' And my body would say, 'Pump the brakes, brother.'"

The brakes might have been pumped, but they were never stopped. Cillo willed his way through two weeks of 12-hour days of practices, meetings, walkthroughs and meals. When the Warriors broke camp, Cillo was one of 117 players remaining on the roster.

"He's taken some lumps, but he keeps coming back," coach Mike Clark said. "He keeps learning, keeps working. It's all part of the process."

'He's got to earn it'

And it is a process. While Cillo understands the uniqueness of his journey, he's also just another freshman trying to figure out how to balance school and football, albeit with outside responsibilities his teammates may not experience for decades, if at all.

A typical school day begins with a conversation between his mind and his body about who is going to move first. The predawn hours are spent studying — Cillo is majoring in criminal justice for now — and chugging coffee. Then it's off to campus in his black Chuck Taylors for classes. Sometime in between, he'll try to sneak in a little treatment for whatever might be hurting on a given day.

While the rest of the Warriors head back to their dorms, Cillo instead checks in on his 90-year-old mother Rita, who is dealing with a host of health issues. Sometimes that means staying the night to keep an eye on her, which often means going without sleep.

The cycle repeats itself the next day. And the next.

It's a lot to handle at any age, let alone one that's nudging toward Medicare eligibility. No wonder Cillo considers merely getting to the sideline in uniform every weekend a victory.

"Going through all this stuff, the day-to-day grind, I've earned the right to be out there," he said.

On this point, Cillo is adamant.

Yes, his social media feed is starting to gain some traction. Yes, he's probably the only college athlete in the country to have an endorsement deal with a pain relief ointment company thanks to rules that allow players to make money off their name, image and likeness (NIL).

And, yes, he'll lean into a portion of his burgeoning celebrity if it inspires others and maybe helps pay a bill or two along the way.

The last thing Cillo wants out of this is sympathy or preferential treatment in the locker room or on the field. Clark, 54 and in his 18th season at Lycoming, never promised Cillo anything other than an opportunity.

"He's got to earn it," said Clark, who described Cillo as an older brother. "He's trying."

'Everyone just loves him'

Sure, the competitor in Cillo wants to be on the field every play. The man who will turn 59 in January learned long ago that life doesn't work like that. If he never plays in a varsity game, which would make him the oldest non-kicker to ever see action in an NCAA contest, so be it.

He is fully committed to seeing this through as long as his body allows. This is not a stunt for attention. It is not a one-off. There are parts of this just as rewarding as playing time, including the chance to impact his teammates in ways that have nothing to do with the game.

Cillo provides countless rides and will occasionally pick up the tab for a post-practice meal. He'll give advice when asked, but doesn't want to overstep. Those acts of service are done not in an effort to buy their friendship, but because it's what he figured teammates do.

It's one of the many reasons Cillo is no longer "the old guy" to those who practice alongside him.

"Everyone just loves him," Woodward said. "It's like, 'Oh yeah, it's Tom.'"

Clark, whose only nod to Cillo's age is letting Cillo call him "Mike" instead of "Coach" when the rest of the team isn't around, credits Cillo's presence for helping the Warriors stay focused amid a winless start, intangibles that last year's group struggled with during a difficult season.

If that's what eventually becomes Cillo's legacy at Lycoming, it's an arrangement he can live with. The rush he felt when assistant coach David Becker told Cillo he was going to start the second half against King's College only reinforced his desire to keep going. But he's under no illusion that he'll be a starter or even a rotational player anytime soon, if ever.

Playing is just part of this experience. So is creating bonds with young men just starting to find their way. Cillo has been where they're going. He's well-versed in regret and missed opportunities.

If there's anything he wants people to take away from this, it's the message that it's never too late.

"I know there are people out there just like me, holding themselves back," he said. "And I want to tell those people, 'Don't do it any longer. If you have a dream, if you have a passion, follow through with it.'"

Diego Pavia is confident ahead of No. 16 Vanderbilt's trip to No. 10 Alabama.

Why shouldn't he be? The Commodores beat the Crimson Tide, 40-35, a year ago as Alabama turned the ball over twice and had the ball for fewer than 18 minutes in the loss. It was the Tide's first loss of the year and came a week after a big win over Georgia.

This year, Alabama already has a loss, thanks to its Week 1 defeat at Florida State. But Saturday's game against Vanderbilt also comes a week after a Crimson Tide win over Georgia, and the Commodores enter at 5-0 with wins over Virginia Tech and South Carolina.

[Yahoo Sports TV is here! Watch live shows and highlights 24/7]

Pavia completed 80% of his passes and threw for two TDs in the win over Alabama a season ago. A second straight victory over the Tide will make him one of the Heisman favorites. And he thinks the Commodores are more than capable of beating the Tide again.

"I don't know what they're doing, I just focus on us, but I know we've got to bring it, that's for sure," Pavia told On3. "The crowd, I think, is going to be a big factor in the game. But we just gotta play within the white lines. If we do that, if we play our game, it won't be close."

The sixth-year senior is no stranger to big road wins in the state of Alabama. In 2023, Pavia led New Mexico State to a 31-10 win at Auburn. He transferred to Vanderbilt after the 2023 season and started for the Commodores as they went 7-6.

Former Texas A&M QB and Heisman winner Johnny Manziel has become friends with Pavia after moving to Nashville and will be in attendance on Saturday. Manziel led one of the most iconic upsets at Bryant-Denny Stadium in recent history with his performance against the Crimson Tide in 2012.

That game vaulted Manziel to the forefront of the Heisman Trophy conversation and he won the award at the end of the year. Could something similar happen for Pavia? After Alabama, Vanderbilt has games against LSU, Missouri and Texas. All three are currently ranked in the AP Top 25.

"I beat [Alabama] once," Manziel told On3. "Diego's got a chance to beat them twice. That's the kind of s*** they build statues for."

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is seeking a second medical opinion on what coach Aaron Glenn called a "pretty serious" knee injury that will likely sideline him for several weeks.

Allen was injured early in the second quarter Monday night in New York's 27-21 loss at Miami while returning a kickoff. The 2024 fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin went down and then struggled to put weight on his left leg as he walked to the locker room.

He was quickly ruled out by the team for the rest of the game.

"He's going to get a second opinion, so we're still going through exactly how we're going to designate that," Glenn said Wednesday of whether Allen will be placed on the injured reserve list. "So you guys give me a little time with that so we can try to figure that out. But as you guys know, a pretty serious knee injury.

"So we'll see exactly where he's going be when it comes to designating if he's going to be on IR or not."

According to a few published reports, Allen is dealing with a sprained MCL. When asked if that was accurate, Glenn said, "yeah," before adding: "Well, I don't want to say that until he gets a second opinion."

Either way, it appears the Jets and their run-first offense will be without their No. 2 running back behind Breece Hall for at least a few games. The 21-year-old Allen rushed for 334 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie and caught 19 passes for 148 yards and a score.

This season, he has 76 yards and a TD on just 18 carries, along with two catches for 17 yards. Allen also had a momentum-swinging fumble against the Dolphins when he lost the football just before he crossed the goal line for what would've given the Jets a 7-3 lead on their opening possession. Miami recovered and scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive to go up 10-0.

With Allen sideline, fellow second-year running back Isaiah Davis is likely to see increased opportunities behind Hall. Davis has rushed five times for 27 yards and caught three passes for 24 yards while also averaging 29.4 yards on 11 kickoff returns.

"Prayers up for my guy B.A. and a healthy recovery and a smooth recovery, too," quarterback Justin Fields said. "I know the guys in the locker room will be there for him to keep his spirits up. I think as far as just the running back room goes, I'm excited to see what Isaiah can do with a more intimate role with the offense and him being out on the field more."

Fields is actually second on the team in rushing with 178 yards rushing, 60 behind Hall. But the Jets don't have a lot of depth at the running back position after Hall and Davis. Kene Nwagnwu, the team's primary kick returner when healthy, has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury. Glenn said he's day to day and it's uncertain if Nwangwu will be back for the game Sunday against Dallas.

Rookie Lawrance Toafili, an undrafted rookie from Florida State, is on the practice squad and the only other running back on the roster other than fullback/tight end Andrew Beck.

As for other injuries, nickel cornerback Michael Carter II remains in the concussion protocol after getting hurt in Miami. Glenn acknowledged "there's a good chance he'll be out" because of the quick turnaround in the schedule.

Recently acquired cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is set to practice this week. Glenn said Brownlee has a chance of playing Sunday in Carter's spot as the slot cornerback or on the outside after dealing with an injured ankle suffered while playing for Tennessee.

Edge rusher Jermaine Johnson remains day to day with an ankle injury that has sidelined him the past two games.
