What the hosts said

MGame Day is live and Friday means football news hitting HARD.
MSchefter just dropped this — Cole Kmet's season is OVER.
LThat knee injury from last night is serious. Bears putting him on injured reserve.
MAnd it's a huge loss. He's Ben Johnson's heartbeat, right? Ten catches through seven games.
LA quiet heartbeat, one fan called it.
MFair. But the injuries stack up for Chicago. This is not what they needed.
LAnd Puka Nacua is a question mark, too — no practice today with a calf thing.
MQuestionable for the game. Rams fans holding their breath.
LBut the big one — Lamar Jackson says he's got a high ankle sprain.
MAnd he's saying he's heading in the right direction for Sunday against Cincy.
LThat's a BAD injury for a guy who runs.
MHis legs ARE the offense. Without them, the playbook shrinks.
LYou're right. But he said the magic words — 'right direction.'
MPlayers always say that. We've heard that line plenty of times before.
LFair, but that's his claim until we see him on the field Sunday.
MWe'll see Sunday. Meanwhile at the US Grand Prix, Leclerc tops first practice.
LFerrari fastest early. And Cadillac made their first appearance today?
MSomething looked different on the F1 feed — they teased it. People are watching.
LAn American team is perfect for an American race. That's all from us right now.
