Oblak has been linked with Premier League side Liverpool and Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain previously following his exploits for Atletico. The 25-year-old – who moved to Madrid from Benfica in 2014 – has helped Atletico up to second in La Liga, while the Spanish outfit are preparing for their Europa League semi-final showdown with Arsenal. However, Oblak did little to allay doubts over his future after Sunday’s goalless draw against Real Betis....

At least there’s one piece of good news: Tests on Beckham’s hamstring came back negative Monday, according to NJ.com’s Jordan Ranaan and Conor Orr, who anticipate Beckham being out another week and missing Sunday’s preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills. NBC will broadcast the Hall of Fame Game at 8 p.m. ET. Obviously, Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin would love to have their 2014 top pick return sooner if sensible....

The new NFL Combine schedule for 2020, though, might make results consumption more difficult for those whose prime-time viewing commitments in late February are set. (That Friday-night episode of “Hawaii Five-0” isn’t going to watch itself.) That’s where we come in with a tracker of live updates and highlights, a collection of what you need to know from the workouts at the Combine. MORE: Explaining the new NFL Combine drills...

There were more than a few takeaways from Lucas Oil Stadium, starting with the quarterbacks. Malik Willis and Kenny Pickett might have created some separation from the rest of the pack, but which one will be taken first? That remains an open question. Nine receivers ran a sub-4.4 in the 40-yard dash as part of a freaky class of first-round talent. NFL Combine winners Winners: Malik Willis Willis made his case to be the first quarterback taken in the 2022 NFL Draft....

Sammy Watkins will take the stage to Drake, although the exact song is a mystery. According to NFL PR man Brian McCarthy, the song “Happy” by Pharrell has been chosen by a player. (Of course.) Of the 30 selections given to the NFL, there is one repeat selection. Don't worry, there won't be a tiebreaker coin toss. They'll just play it twice, according to McCarthy. (McCarthy also notes that the music is being played in-house only, so after all that talk about these songs, you might not even hear them at home....

We do not focus on or include in rankings underclassmen for multiple reasons. They won’t be included in our big boards until after the official declaration deadline in January. Until then, seniors are our top priority, and the class boasts a strong core of offensive and defensive linemen, as well as a deep set of receivers and running backs for scouts to focus as we move towards the middle part of the 2014 college football season....

This year’s NFL Draft will be held at Auditorium Theatre in Chicago from April 30 to May 2. The first round is Thursday, April 30. The second and third rounds are Friday, May 1, and the draft will conclude on Saturday, May 2 with rounds four through seven.

But, not by much. Oakland and the Jets have discussed potentially swapping picks, according to a report from The Athletic, which cites unidentified league sources. New York enters Thursday with the third selection while the Raiders are set to draft at No. 4. There is a “good chance” the Jets are going to trade down, according to an earlier report from ESPN. They’ve also reportedly had trade discussions with the Bills and the Redskins....

When Sloman’s 37-yard kick doinked off the right upright and then bounced through, the Titans (11-5) claimed a division title by beating the non-playoff Texans 41-38. And because Houston had traded its 2021 first-rounder to the Dolphins in the Laremy Tunsil deal, the loss secured the No. 3 overall selection for Miami in April’s draft.

After a season that seemed destined to end up in the NFC championship game, the Packers are officially out of playoff contention and have a first-round pick locked in for the 2022 NFL Draft. Green Bay was handed an ugly 13-10 loss at the hands of the 49ers in the divisional round. While the Packers may have their passer of the future in Jordan Love, they’ll still have to answer questions about their passer of the present, Aaron Rodgers....

The Dolphins seem to hold the keys to the 2020 draft thanks to their haul of 14 picks, which include three in the first round. They have plenty of holes to fill on both sides of the ball and have the ammunition to pull of trades to move up the draft order. The Patriots also have an abundance of selections but don’t have the early picks like the Dolphins. New England doesn’t have a pick in the second round but has plenty in later rounds....

NFL executives know what they’re doing: Any crumb of information is as good as a feast this time of year, with the draft cycle both wide open and coming to a close in just a few days’ time. So far, there have been a number of trades that have shaken up the top 10 of the 2021 NFL Draft, with a number of teams rumored to move up into the top 10 in the coming days — or perhaps on draft night — that could further change the landscape of this year’s draft....
