After a nearly five-hour delay, the Green Bay Packers are on their way west to Phoenix for their Week 7 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

The NFC North-leading Packers were scheduled to depart for Arizona at 1:30 p.m. CT ahead of their game Sunday at State Farm Stadium. That didn’t happen as planned.

Green Bay’s team plane had mechanical issues, per multiple reports. The team wasn’t in the air until nearly 6:30 p.m. CT and on a new plane that was brought from Detroit to Green Bay.

This was the second plane headed to Phoenix for the team’s game against the Cardinals. The first one was made up of team staff members and departed as scheduled.

It’ll be a quick turnaround for the Packers once they reach their destination. They’re set to arrive at 8:32 p.m. local time Saturday night per ESPN with kickoff slated for 1:25 p.m. in Glendale, Arizona.

The team has not released a statement explaining the reason for the delay.

And when he objected to an opponent getting away with a cross-check, he took matters into his own hands – with a little flourish.

During the second period of the Panthers-Sabres game on Saturday, Oct. 18, Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlin cross-checked Marchand. Unhappy with that, Marchand jumped Dahlin a few seconds later and started throwing punches while the defenseman was on the ice.

But Marchand wasn’t done, He had Dahlin’s helmet in his hand as he got up and took it with him to the penalty box as an on-ice official led him there. Marchand ripped the straps off the helmet before tossing it back onto the ice. He threw the straps against the glass in the penalty box.

‘He’s a competitor,’ Dahlin said about Marchand after the game. ‘I’ve probably done something like that in the past, too. Stuff happens out there.’

When all was settled, Marchand received two minutes for interference and two minutes for roughing against Dahlin. Buffalo’s Tage Thompson got two minutes for roughing Marchand, giving the Sabres a power play.

Teammate Peyton Krebs lent Dahlin his helmet so the defenseman could play on the power play.

Josh Doan scored 32 seconds into the power play to give the Sabres a 2-0 lead.

The banged-up two-time defending Stanley Cup champions lost 3-0, their fourth in a row to drop them to 3-4-0 this season.

Adding to the Panthers’ injury woes, defenseman Niko Mikkola left the game with an upper body injury after a collision and didn’t return. Coach Paul Maurice said he’d have a better idea on Mikkola’s status on Monday.

Florida’s next game is Tuesday in Boston, where Marchand played for 17 seasons before being moved to the Panthers at the trade deadline and leading the team to a second consecutive Stanley Cup title.

Washington tight end Quentin Moore was carted off the field in the second quarter of his team’s game at Michigan on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Moore suffered an injury while blocking Wolverines edge rusher Nate Marshall on a Huskies punt that pinned Michigan at its own 7-yard line. 

Shortly after Marshall made contact, Moore fell to the turf, where he remained face down until team medical personnel rushed out to tend to him. After being examined, he was placed on a stabilizing board and carted off the field at Michigan Stadium, with many of his teammates gathered around him.

Moore’s injury delayed the game by nearly 10 minutes.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Moore is in his fifth season with the Washington program. He has appeared in every game this season for the Huskies and has three catches for 35 yards. Much of that production came in an Oct. 10 victory against Rutgers, a game in which he has two receptions for 25 yards.

Sacramento Kings All-Star center Domantas Sabonis will miss the start of the season with a hamstring injury, the team announced.

The Kings said Sabonis has a grade 1 strain of his hamstring after an MRI and that he will be re-evaluated in a week. Sabonis was injured during a preseason game on Oct. 15 against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Sacramento opens the 2025-2026 season on the road against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday and returns home for a matchup with the Utah Jazz in their home opener on Friday.

The Kings are ailing as the season gets underway, and they will also be without power forward Keegan Murray for at least a month after he suffered a torn UCL in his left thumb.

The 28-year-old Sabonis, a three-time All-Star, has led the NBA in rebounding in each of the past three seasons. He averaged 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds, and six assists per game last season for Sacramento, which has missed the playoffs in four of the past five seasons.

After starting the season 2-0, the Arizona Cardinals have lost their last four games in a row by a combined nine points.

At 2-4, they’re facing a tough task in Week 7 with the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers visiting State Farm Stadium. A loss before their Week 8 bye could put Arizona three games back in the win column from the NFC West leaders.

Unfortunately, they are planning to be without their starting quarterback for that contest.

Kyler Murray will miss a second game in a row with a mid-foot sprain, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and Jacoby Brissett will start in his place on Sunday.

Kyler Murray injury update

Murray injured his foot in the third quarter of the Cardinals’ Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. He finished the game but missed practice leading up to the Colts game and did not start for the first time since November 2023.

Murray’s been off to a slow start in 2025. He’s averaging a career-low 192.4 passing yards per game and a career-high sack percentage of 9.04% through five games.

Arizona has not placed him on injured reserve (IR) and Murray did participate in practice this week in a limited fashion. For those reasons, he may be back on the field in Week 9 for Arizona after the bye.

Cardinals QB depth chart

Kyler Murray (injured)
Jacoby Brissett
Kedon Slovis

Brissett, a 10-year veteran, is on his sixth team in the last six seasons. He started five games for New England last season and went 1-4 in those contests.

Slovis was an undrafted free agent in the 2024 NFL Draft and signed with the Colts and Houston Texans’ practice squad last year before coming to Arizona. He’s yet to throw a pass in a regular-season NFL game.

NFC West standings

San Francisco 49ers: 4-2
Los Angeles Rams: 4-2
Seattle Seahawks: 4-2
Arizona Cardinals: 2-4

Mother Nature briefly spoiled Indiana football’s homecoming.

Due to lightning in the Bloomington area, Saturday’s Big Ten showdown between No. 3 Indiana and Michigan State went into a 30-minute lightning delay at Indiana Memorial Stadium during halftime. It is the third notable Power 4 game in the country to be impacted by weather on Saturday, with the others being Texas A&M-Arkansas and Baylor-TCU.

Oct. 18 is the first game that Indiana coach Curt Cignetti is coaching since he signed his eight-year contract extension that will pay him an Annual Average Value (AAV) of $11.6 million. The Hoosiers are currently leading the Spartans 21-10.

USA TODAY Sports provided live weather delay updates regarding Indiana vs. Michigan State. Follow below.

Indiana-Michigan State weather updates: Latest on Hoosiers vs Spartans

All times Eastern

5:37 p.m. ET: The second half between Indiana and Michigan State has started after a 30-minute lightning delay. The rain looks to still be coming down in Bloomington, so there could be another delay in sight. But for now, Indiana looks to hold onto its lead to remain undefeated on the season.

5:36 p.m. ET: Both teams have taken the field for warm-ups ahead of the second half in Bloomington.

5:27 p.m.: Peacock’s broadcast is showing high winds and torrential downpour right now at Memorial Stadium as it goes to a commercial break during the halftime show. Game action is set to resume in 10 minutes at 5:37 p.m. ET after both teams get a five-minute warm-up period.

5:25 p.m.: Indiana officially announces that the second half between the Hoosiers and Spartans will start at 5:37 p.m. ET.

5:24 p.m.: Pretty ominous clouds right now at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. The Weather Channel is calling for a good amount of rain and thunderstorms until 9 p.m. ET, meaning the second half of Indiana-Michigan State could be a wet and run-heavy half.

5:16 p.m.: Indiana tells fans to take shelter and leave their seats at Memorial Stadium due to the lightning delay. Per NCAA weather protocols, for every strike within at least six miles of the stadium from the original strike, the 30-minute clock will be reset.

5:13 p.m.: Indiana officially announces weather delay.

5:09 p.m.: Indiana vs. Michigan State has been suspended during halftime for a lightning delay after lightning strikes were detected in the Bloomington area. The weather delay clock has started.

NCAA lightning delay policy

The NCAA notes that if a lightning strike is seen or heard within at least six miles of an outdoor stadium, then the game must be halted for a lightning delay. Though a lightning delay’s length of time starts at 30 minutes, the total time of a lightning delay can vary because for every strike that follows the initial strike, that 30-minute clock is reset.

‘To resume athletics activities, lightning safety experts recommend waiting 30 minutes after both the last sound of thunder and after the last flash of lightning is at least six miles away, and moving away from the venue. If lightning is seen without hearing thunder, lightning may be out of range and therefore less likely to be a significant threat. At night, be aware that lightning can be visible at a much greater distance than during the day as clouds are being lit from the inside by lightning. This greater distance may mean that the lightning is no longer a significant threat. At night, use both the sound of thunder and seeing the lightning channel itself to decide on when to reset the 30-minute return-to-play clock before resuming outdoor athletics activities.’

Indiana vs Michigan State weather forecast

5 p.m. ET: Scattered Thunderstorms (67% chance of rain)
6 p.m. ET: Thunderstorms (96% chance of rain)
7 p.m. ET: Thunderstorms (94% chance of rain)
8 p.m. ET: Thunderstorms (74% chance of rain)

What TV channel is Indiana vs Michigan State on?

Livestream: Peacock

Indiana vs. Michigan State is not being broadcast on linear or national television. Instead, the Week 8 Big Ten showdown is being streamed exclusively on Peacock, NBC’s subscription streaming service, as part of the Big Ten conference’s TV deal with NBC and NBC Sports.
