Murray’s New Stop and Other Sports Moves

Kyler Murray, the 28‑year‑old quarterback who has spent seven NFL seasons and one playoff game, is heading to the Minnesota Vikings this Thursday for a visit. Fans hoping he will jump to the Steelers instead of staying with his current team are likely disappointed, as the Vikings remain a priority in his search for a starting role. Murray’s representatives are also eyeing backup positions for the 2026 season, including a potential spot behind Matthew Stafford with the Los Angeles Rams.

Murray’s career numbers show he has completed 67.1 % of his passes for 20,460 yards and a 92.2 passer rating, with a touchdown‑to‑interception ratio of 121–60. On the ground he has added 3,193 rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns across 87 regular‑season games.

Javon Hargrave Signs with Packers

In a different corner of the NFL, former Steelers defensive lineman Javon Hargrave has found a new team. After being released by the Vikings before free agency, he signed a two‑year contract worth $23 million with the Green Bay Packers. Hargrave, 33, will receive $13 million in his first year.

He has previously played for Philadelphia, San Francisco and Minnesota, earning Super Bowl appearances and two Pro Bowls. In Minnesota he logged 18 solo tackles, 3½ sacks and a forced fumble in the last season.

NHL: Golden Knights & Penguins Struggle

The Vegas Golden Knights are on a rough patch, losing six of their last seven games and averaging just 1.86 goals per game. Their power play remains solid at 25.4 %, ranking third in the league, and their penalty kill is strong at 81.5 %. Yet they have allowed 145 goals on the power play, the seventh‑most in hockey.

The Penguins are also struggling, having lost three straight games and remaining tied for second place in their division with 79 points. They face a tough road trip, starting with a one‑point game in Carolina and heading to Las Vegas next.

College Hockey: Robert Morris Shines

College hockey offers some bright spots. The Robert Morris Colonials have several players earning postseason honors as they prepare for a semifinal series against Sacred Heart.

• Tanner Klimpke – forward, leads the team in goals (14), assists (15) and points (29).
• Dominic Elliott – sophomore defenseman, tops the Colonial blueliners with 6 goals, 13 assists and 19 points.
• John Babcock – freshman, leads the conference with 117 blocked shots and is on a five‑game point streak.

If the Colonials upset second‑seeded Sacred Heart, they could face either Bentley or Holy Cross for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

These movements highlight how teams and players constantly adjust to opportunities, whether it’s a quarterback exploring new starting roles, a veteran lineman finding a fresh contract, or clubs navigating wins and losses in the playoffs.
