No. 1 in the 30-second version

Cardinals agree to a three-year extension with tight end Elijah Higgins, per ESPN and NFL Network.

The deal is worth up to $26.8 million and runs through 2029, according to the report. Higgins, a sixth-round pick in 2023, was waived by Miami and claimed by Arizona, and has 82 catches for 798 yards and four touchdowns in 54 games. CBS Sports reports the Cardinals have now signed over $100 million in contracts for their top two tight ends.

No. 2 in the 30-second version

Cardinals center Hjalte Froholdt will miss Sunday's game against the Rams after failing concussion protocol.

Froholdt had started every one of the 60 possible games since signing as a free agent in 2023, so this will be his first missed start with the team. Jon Gaines II (ankle) is also out, and Hayden Conner will start at center. Defensive lineman Zach Carter is also out, and several players including Hunter Long and Max Melton are listed as questionable.

No. 3 in the 30-second version

Rams list Myles Garrett as questionable, but Sean McVay expects him to play Sunday against Arizona.

Garrett will not practice Friday, and McVay said the Rams are trying to get him feeling as good as possible. Garrett had 3.0 sacks and a forced fumble last week in his return from a knee procedure. Cornerback Trent McDuffie (back) and safety Kam Curl (toe) are also listed as questionable after being limited in practice.

Giants fall 21-24 to Commanders after a late touchdown drive and a disputed DPI penalty.

John Harbaugh said the failed third-and-1 quarterback sneak by Jameis Winston was a normal sneak and not a Tush Push. Harbaugh said he would not have tried the delay-of-game trick on the fourth-and-1 play again. CBS Sports reported Giants players criticized the DPI penalty, and ESPN said New York's division lead is shrinking.
