All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers is inactive for the Las Vegas Raiders in Sunday's game against the host Indianapolis Colts. Bowers, who had been listed as questionable to play, missed the Raiders' past two days of practice due to a PCL injury and bone bruise on his left knee. He sustained the injuries during Las Vegas' season-opening victory over the New England Patriots. Bowers, 22, trails wide receiver Jakobi Meyers for the team lead in catches and receiving yards in four games this season. Bowers has caught 19 passes for 225 yards while playing in all four games but starting only one. A second-year standout, Bowers earned All-Pro recognition as a rookie with 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns. In addition to Bowers, the Raiders (1-3) will be without fellow tight end Michael Mayer, linebacker Germaine Pratt, guard Caleb Rogers, defensive lineman Leki Fotu and cornerback Eric Stokes. As for the Colts (3-1), they listed the following players as inactive: wide receiver Alec Pierce, cornerback Kenny Moore, running back Tyler Goodson, linebacker Buddy Johnson, offensive tackle Luke Tenuta, defensive tackle Eric Johnson and quarterback Riley Leonard. –Field Level Media

Defenseman Matt Grzelcyk is signing a one-year, $1 million deal with the Chicago Blackhawks, multiple outlets reported Sunday. The 31-year-old veteran posted 40 points last season (one goal, 39 assists) in 82 games in his only season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He was not offered a contract in the offseason. He did have opportunities for a player tryout agreement (PTO), however, and he chose to join rebuilding Chicago in training camp. Apparently, it paid off after three preseason game appearances. "I thought Gryz played good," Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill said after the preseason game on Friday, per The Athletic. "He's a solid player, he's smart, he moves the puck pretty good." Grzelcyk, a Massachusetts native, was selected by the Boston Bruins in the third round of the 2012 NHL Draft. He played for the Bruins from the 2016-24 seasons before joining the Penguins for the 2024-25 campaign on a $2.75 million contract. In 527 career games, he has 175 points (26 goals, 149 assists) and a plus-131 rating. –Field Level Media

(Adds quotes from Hegseth interview, Trump quote and context in paragraphs 3 through 8) Oct 5 (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he has every authorization needed for strikes in the Caribbean by the U.S. military against vessels allegedly carrying illegal drugs just off the coast of Venezuela. Hegseth was speaking in a Fox News interview broadcast on Sunday. The United States killed four people in a strike on Friday, at least the fourth such attack in recent weeks. "We have every authorization needed. These are designated as foreign terrorist organizations," Hegseth said in an interview on Fox News' "The Sunday Briefing." Hegseth and President Donald Trump have not provided evidence for claims that the targeted boats were carrying drugs. Trump told Congress last week that he had determined the U.S. to be in "a non-international armed conflict" with drug cartels, without providing any new legal rationale. Critics say the boat strikes are a further effort by Trump to test the scope of his presidential powers. Legal experts have questioned why the military is carrying out these attacks rather than the U.S. Coast Guard, the country's maritime law agency. "If you're in our hemisphere, if you're in the Caribbean, if you're north of Venezuela and you want to traffic drugs to the United States, you are a legitimate target of the United States military," Hegseth said. Trump on Sunday said the U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean had halted drug trafficking from South America. "There's no drugs coming into the water. And we'll look at what phase 2 is," he told reporters at the White House. (Reporting by Jasper Ward, Leah Douglas and Andrea Shalal in Washington; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said Russian President Vladimir Putin's offer to voluntarily maintain limits on deployed strategic nuclear weapons "sounds like a good idea to me." Putin last month offered to voluntarily maintain limits capping the size of the world's two biggest nuclear arsenals set out in the 2010 New START accord, which expires in February, if the U.S. does the same.
