Federal judges in 2 states considering challenges to the government's treatment of Abrego Garcia
SUMMARY: Federal judges in two states are considering challenges to the government’s treatment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The Salvadoran national's mistaken deportation to his home country galvanized opposition to President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration agenda. In a Maryland court, Abrego Garcia has challenged efforts to deport him. Abrego Garcia's attorneys claim the Republican administration is illegally using the immigration system to punish him after the embarrassment of his mistaken deportation. Attorneys in Tennessee have made similar claims about human smuggling charges brought against Abrego Garcia. A Tennessee federal judge has set a hearing for November on a motion to dismiss the charges there.

President Donald Trump visits Walter Reed for a 'semiannual physical'
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for what he calls a “semiannual physical." The White House announced the visit earlier this week. Trump is preparing to travel to the Middle East shortly after his Friday medical exam. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the visit earlier this week as a “routine yearly checkup,” although the Republican president had his annual physical in April. White House aides have declined to explain why Trump is getting another checkup. Trump told reporters Thursday he thinks he’s in great shape. Trump plans to return to the White House after the visit.

New Jersey businessman who testified against ex-Sen. Bob Menendez won't go to prison
SUMMARY: A New Jersey businessman who testified against former Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife at separate bribery trials won't go to prison, after a judge credited him at his sentencing for his honesty. Jose Uribe was sentenced Thursday in Manhattan federal court. Judge Sidney H. Stein said Uribe's crimes were serious as he participated in a bribery scheme from 2018 to 2023, but he credited him with playing a key role in convicting participants in a major conspiracy involving other countries. Uribe apologized for his crimes, saying he was sorry and embarrassed.

Antifa expert at Rutgers University says he is moving to Spain because of death threats
SUMMARY: An expert on anti-fascist groups who teaches at New Jersey’s flagship state university is moving his family overseas. Mark Bray's decision follows death threats he’s received amid claims by the campus chapter of Turning Point USA and other conservative groups that he is a member of antifa and should be fired. Bray plans to live in Spain and teach remotely for the current academic year, then hopes to be back on campus next fall. He is an expert on antifa, but denies being involved with the movement that conservatives argue is responsible for political violence.

What to do if your flight is delayed or canceled during the US government shutdown
SUMMARY: The federal government shutdown has entered its second week, and already shortages of air traffic controllers have strained operations and disrupted flights at some U.S. airports. The situation may well get worse if the shutdown continues and employees start to miss paychecks. And there is no way to predict what airports might have problems on any given day. So be sure to check your flight's status before you head to the airport. If your flight is canceled, airlines will rebook you on a later flight. If you no longer want to take the trip, you should be able to get a refund. But each airline's policies can differ, and airlines are not required to pay cash compensation.

Energy company abandons proposal to store nuclear waste at site in New Mexico
SUMMARY: A private energy company is abandoning a proposal to store nuclear waste at a site in southeastern New Mexico. Holtec International described an “untenable path forward for used fuel storage in New Mexico” as it walked away from the proposal to temporarily store spent fuel from commercial nuclear power plants across the nation. The New Jersey-based company confirmed its decision Thursday. Holtec said the move would allow it to work with other states that are more amenable. The New Mexico storage project was cast aside despite a favorable U.S. Supreme Court ruling in August. The U.S. is at an impasse over a permanent solution for storing spend nuclear fuel.

A grim list: Some notable attacks on houses of worship around the world in recent years
SUMMARY: Houses of worship have faced various types of attacks throughout history, but such assaults are not relics of the past. There has been a series of high-profile deadly attacks in recent years. The targets include a synagogue in England, two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, and a Catholic church in the United States hosting a Mass for school children. Collectively, such attacks have intensified anxiety and outright fear among clergy and worshippers worldwide.

Fear and vigilance rise as attacks on houses of worship intensify worldwide
SUMMARY: Statistically, attending a weekly worship service is a remarkably safe thing to do. Global annual attendance totals many billions; the number of people killed in attacks on individual houses of worship in any given year is generally less than a few hundred. Yet recent high-profile deadly attacks have intensified anxiety and outright fear among clergy and worshippers worldwide. Just in the past six weeks there have been attacks on a synagogue in Manchester, England; a Michigan congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and a Catholic church in the United States hosting a Mass for school children.

SUMMARY: Cam Skattebo ran for three touchdowns as he and fellow rookie Jaxson Dart led the New York Giants to a 34-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Dart had a 20-yard touchdown run and a 35-yard passing TD to Wan’Dale Robinson. The Giants, now 2-4, also sacked Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts three times.

Jalen Hurts throws an interception among mistakes that lead to the Eagles' 2nd consecutive loss
SUMMARY: Jalen Hurts overthrowing DeVonta Smith on what could have been an easy touchdown and getting intercepted punctuated the Philadelphia Eagles' second consecutive loss. It was Hurts' first interception of the season. The Eagles' defense also struggled, and Saquon Barkley's late fumble sealed the defeat at the New York Giants. But Hurts contributed to the Eagles going 1 of 9 on third down, and the Super Bowl MVP quarterback's struggles exemplify what's going wrong with the defending champions.

Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams match up again 1 year after Hail Mary decided Bears-Commanders
SUMMARY: Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams will face each other again as pros when the Washington Commanders host the Chicago Bears on Monday night. Daniels' 52-yard completion to Noah Brown for a touchdown on the final play lifted Washington to an 18-15 victory over visiting Chicago a year ago. That helped Washington go 12-5 and make it to the NFC title game. That devastating loss put Chicago on a path toward a 10-game losing streak. Daniels and Williams are likely to be forever linked because both were Heisman Trophy winners and Williams went No. 1 overall in the 2024 draft, one spot ahead of Daniels.

Marlon Humphrey and Patrick Ricard -- but not Lamar Jackson -- back on practice field for Ravens
SUMMARY: Cornerback Marlon Humphrey and fullback Patrick Ricard were back on the practice field for the Baltimore Ravens but quarterback Lamar Jackson remained absent during the portion open to reporters. Humphrey and Ricard both missed last weekend’s game with calf injuries. Ricard hasn’t played all season, and coach John Harbaugh said early this week the Ravens were hoping he could return for their game against the Chicago Bears on Oct. 26. Baltimore hosts the Los Angeles Rams this weekend, then has an open date. Jackson missed last weekend’s loss to Houston with a hamstring injury.

Ravens have won 5 of their last 6 against Rams, but Lamar Jackson appears unlikely to play this time
SUMMARY: The Rams are 1-4 against the Ravens in Baltimore. Their lone win was 20-19 on a last-minute touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Odell Beckham Jr. on Jan. 2, 2022. Lamar Jackson did not play in that game for the Ravens and he appears unlikely to go this week either. Jackson missed last weekend's game with a hamstring injury and has missed more practice time this week. Since rushing for 169 yards in the season opener, Derrick Henry hasn’t surpassed 50 in any game since. The Ravens have run up against some tough defenses, and Jackson’s absence last week certainly didn’t help.

Rams' confidence in their secondary is still high despite recent struggles
SUMMARY: The Los Angeles Rams remain confident in their secondary despite understanding its last impression was not a good one. The Rams allowed San Francisco backup quarterback Mac Jones to throw for 342 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-23 overtime loss last Thursday. Niners reserve wide receiver Kendrick Bourne had a career-high 142 yards, highlighting struggles with bigger bodies for the Los Angeles defensive backs since cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon broke his collarbone against Tennessee in Week 2. The Rams play at the injury-plagued Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Four coaches new to the Big Ten look to get their programs back on track

Quinnen Williams says Jets' defense to blame for 0-5 start ahead of London game vs. Broncos
SUMMARY: It doesn’t take Quinnen Williams long to dissect why the Jets are winless. He says they have probably have the NFL's worst defense. No takeaways through Week 5 and just three sacks in the past four games leads New York’s star defensive lineman to his conclusion before facing the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He says the defense has been the reason the Jets are 0-5. Williams was asked if being abroad can help the team reset. He said it doesn't matter where you are when you're “probably the worst defense in the league” because you need to fix things in order to win.

Brad Marchand breaks 3rd-period tie to help the Panthers beat the Flyers, 2-1
SUMMARY: Brad Marchand broke a tie at 2:19 of the third period and the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers beat Philadelphia 2-1 on Thursday night to spoil Rick Tocchet’s Flyers coaching debut.

Broncos will try to keep rolling when they face the 0-5 Jets in London
SUMMARY: The Denver Broncos face the New York Jets in London on Sunday. The Broncos have a 3-2 record, while the Jets are still seeking their first win at 0-5. Denver's edge rusher Nik Bonitto is a player to watch, tied for the NFL lead with seven sacks this season. The Jets' rookie tight end Mason Taylor is emerging as a key player in their passing game. The Jets' Aaron Glenn is the first coach in franchise history to begin his tenure with five losses. It’s New York’s fourth 0-5 start and first since starting 0-13 in 2020 under Adam Gase. A loss would give the Jets their third 0-6 start, joining the 2020 and 1996 squads.

SUMMARY: The New York Jets’ struggling defense will get a boost with the return of edge rusher Jermaine Johnson, who has missed the last three games with an ankle injury.

Four coaches new to the Big Ten look to get their programs back on track
SUMMARY: Dusty May led Michigan to a Big Ten Tournament championship and an appearance in the Sweet 16 last season, his first as coach of the Wolverines. It was a stunning achievement for a program that finished last in the conference the previous season. Four coaches new to the Big Ten this season — Indiana’s Darian DeVries, Iowa’s Ben McCollum, Buzz Williams at Maryland and Niko Medved at Minnesota — will try to replicate May’s first-year success story. May said Thursday at Big Ten media day that the new coaches are all proven winners at their previous programs and don not need his advice.

Brad Marchand breaks 3rd-period tie to help the Panthers beat the Flyers, 2-1
SUMMARY: Brad Marchand broke a tie at 2:19 of the third period and the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers beat Philadelphia 2-1 on Thursday night to spoil Rick Tocchet’s Flyers coaching debut.

The former Philadelphia player won Stanley Cups as an assistant in Pittsburgh and was a head coach in Tampa Bay, Arizona and, most recently, Vancouver. Anton Lundell also scored for injury-depleted Florida, and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 19 shots. Noah Cates scored for Philadelphia. Vladar made 32 saves.

Matthew Schaefer turned 18 last month. The Islanders rookie hardly looked his age in his NHL debut
SUMMARY: New York Islanders rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer didn't waste time making a first impression. The 18-year-old top overall pick in June's draft collected the first point of his career in his NHL debut, a 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Islanders coach Patrick Roy praised Schaefer's performance, saying he looked comfortable and confident on the ice. Schaefer played more than 17 minutes and frequently flashed the dazzling speed that led the Islanders to select him in the first place. Schaefer said there were some early jitters but they quickly went away. Schaefer is hoping for a different result when the Islanders host Washington in their home opener on Saturday.

Jalen Hurts throws an interception among mistakes that lead to the Eagles' 2nd consecutive loss
SUMMARY: Jalen Hurts overthrowing DeVonta Smith on what could have been an easy touchdown and getting intercepted punctuated the Philadelphia Eagles' second consecutive loss. It was Hurts' first interception of the season. The Eagles' defense also struggled, and Saquon Barkley's late fumble sealed the defeat at the New York Giants. But Hurts contributed to the Eagles going 1 of 9 on third down, and the Super Bowl MVP quarterback's struggles exemplify what's going wrong with the defending champions.

Orion Kerkering's wild throw ends Phillies' season in their latest playoff disappointment
SUMMARY: Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Orion Kerkering received support from his teammates after a costly error led to their elimination from the NL Division Series.

Dodgers rolling in defense of World Series title after closing out Phillies to reach NLCS
SUMMARY: The Los Angeles Dodgers are on track to become the first repeat World Series champions in 25 years. Their success comes from superb starting pitching, a strong bullpen and solid defense. On Thursday night, they celebrated a wild 2-1, 11-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, winning the NL Division Series 3-1. They'll face either the Milwaukee Brewers or the Chicago Cubs in the NL Championship Series starting Monday. The Dodgers have won five of their first six postseason games.

Steelers LB Nick Herbig is morphing from TJ Watt's protégé into a star in his own right
SUMMARY: Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig is stepping out of the considerable shadow cast by mentor T.J. Watt. Herbig has 2 1/2 sacks and an interception over Pittsburgh's last three games while filling in for the injured Alex Highsmith. While Highsmith is expected to return for a Week 6 matchup with Cleveland, Herbig has been so productive he will continue to be a regular in the lineup. At 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, Herbig is undersized for an edge rusher by today's NFL standards. The third-year pro says he's used to defying expectations, saying he learned the hard way while growing up the youngest of three brothers.

Dodgers advance to NLCS, beat Phillies 2-1 on Kerkering's 11th-inning error
SUMMARY: Orion Kerkering made a wild throw past home instead of tossing to first after mishandling Andy Pages’ bases-loaded comebacker with two outs in the 11th inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 to win their NL Division Series 3-1. Kerkering hung his head and put hands on knees after his throw sailed past catcher J.T. Realmuto as pinch-runner Hyeseong Kim crossed the plate, advancing the Dodgers to the NL Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs or Milwaukee. Realmuto had pointed to first when the two-hopper hit off Kerkering’s glove and rolled just in front of the mound.
