    Crew Girl & NFL

    We are talking about a TV Show named Crew Girl, and the NFL week 1 RB D'Andre Swift and the Chicago Bears have reached an agreement on a 3-year, $33.75 million extension that includes $27.5M guaranteed. This is now Swift's third NFL contract. Jets RB Breece Hall and rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq are good to go for Sunday's opener at Tennessee. Cowboys RB Malik Davis has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Giants because of a hip injury suffered in Friday's practice. Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty is officially off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Dolphins. Players ruled out for Sunday include Michael Penix Jr., Tua Tagovailoa, Teddye Buchanan, Nnamdi Madubuike (pictured), Teven Jenkins, Jonathan Greenard, Eli Stowers, Joseph Ossai, Tim Patrick, Cedric Gray, Oscar Delp, Audric Estime, Cam Jordan, Brock Bowers, Garrett Williams, and Malik Davis. Lions restructured the contracts of WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and LT Penei Sewell and created over $30 million in salary cap space.

The Raiders reached an agreement with TE Michael Mayer on a three-year, $45 million extension that includes $30 million guaranteed. Falcons starting QB Cooper Rush, who was replacing the injured QB Tua Tagovailoa, experienced back spasms on Saturday, but the team said he will still start Sunday at Pittsburgh. The Houston Texans and quarterback C.J. Stroud made a run at completing a contract extension before the regular season began, but both sides agreed they now prefer to wait until after this season to work out a long-term deal. There will be no last-minute, buzzer-beating, day-of-the-opener lucrative contract extension for Ravens QB Lamar Jackson -- the way there was for Cowboys QB Dak Prescott on opening day two years ago. Jaguars and WR Parker Washington are not expected to work out a new deal before Sunday's opener kicks off. Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr., who has been embroiled in a contract dispute all summer, is unlikely to play Sunday against the Falcons because of a back injury.49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling, who left the opener early with an injury, is out at least a month with a deltoid sprain in his ankle. Cooper Rush will be Atlanta's starting quarterback today, undrafted free agent Jack Strand will be the backup, and with Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. both inactive, wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus will be the Falcons' emergency quarterback vs. the Steelers. After undergoing a meniscus trim on Tuesday, the Raiders believe there's a realistic chance Brock Bowers will miss only one game and return for Week 2 at the Los Angeles Chargers. While Packers running back Josh Jacobs remains on the Commissioner Exempt list, the NFL could count time spent there as time served for any potential suspension.

It could be more or less, depending on mitigating factors.
