Lions reportedly trade veteran RB David Montgomery to Texans — and more

The Detroit Lions are trading veteran running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Monday. 

The Texans will send their 2026 fourth-round pick, offensive line Juice Scruggs and a seventh rounder for Montgomery, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

The news comes just one day after Montgomery denied reports that he "wanted out" of Detroit.

This breaking news story will be updated.

Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed it has imposed indefinite bans on three supporters for making Nazi salutes during a Champions League fixture in Germany.

The offensive gestures were performed during Spurs’ 2-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt in late January.

Uefa sanctioned the London club for the behaviour, imposing a €30,000 (£26,212) fine and a suspended ban on selling away tickets for one match.

Tottenham had previously labelled the conduct as "utterly abhorrent conduct" and vowed to punish those responsible.

“The club has been informed of sanctions handed down to us by Uefa following the utterly abhorrent conduct of a small number of individuals at our recent Champions League away match in Frankfurt,” a statement read.

“The club has cooperated fully with Uefa’s investigation, as well as with German police on the night and, subsequently, the Met Police.

“We can confirm that all three individuals found to be making Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been identified and have received indefinite bans under the club’s Sanctions and Banning Policy.

“The club stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and has therefore taken the strongest possible action. The disgusting behaviour of a minority of so-called fans on the night is in no way reflective of the values of our club and its supporters.”

Spurs received a further fine of €2,250 (£1,966) for the “throwing of objects” by fans at the match on 28 January.

The Uefa Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Board (CEDB) has brought the charges against Spurs, who are in a precarious position domestically after a record-equalling 10-match run without a win in the Premier League.

A statement read: “The CEDB has decided: To fine Tottenham Hotspur €30,000 and to ban Tottenham Hotspur from selling tickets to its away supporters for the next one (1) Uefa competition match, for the racist and/or discriminatory behaviour of its supporters.

“Said ban from selling tickets to its away supporters is suspended for a probationary period of one (1) year, starting from the date of the present decision.”

Tottenham’s next Champions League fixture is a last-16 tie away to Atletico Madrid on 10 March.

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer said in his Monday morning column, “I’d lean toward a Maxx Crosby trade happening, and maybe this week.”

As far as compensation, Breer said it’s unlikely the Las Vegas Raiders receive the haul they got for Khalil Mack eight years ago, what the Dallas Cowboys got for Micah Parsons last year, or even what the Miami Dolphins received for Laremy Tunsil back in 2019. Each of those deals included multiple first-round picks.

It’s also worth noting the age difference between those prospects at the time. Unlike them, Crosby is long removed from his rookie contract. The good news is that Crosby wants to win, which should make the San Francisco 49ers a potential suitor. Breer named seven teams. Unfortunately for Niners fans, the one he listed in the NFC West was not in the Bay Area:

We should know soon enough which path the Raiders are taking, with teams like Dallas, Chicago, Baltimore, Buffalo, New England, Philadelphia and the Rams keeping tabs on his availability.

The 49ers not being listed doesn’t necessarily take them out of the Crosby sweepstakes entirely, but Breer’s omission suggests they aren’t frontrunners in the trade that feels inevitable in the coming weeks. Perhaps the Niners value their first-round pick on a potential wide receiver in this upcoming class or at another position that is cost-controlled for the next four to five years, as opposed to Crosby.

If Crosby is traded for a deal that ends up looking affordable, it will be tough to stomach for 49ers fans—especially if Crosby ends up in the division.

Sonic and Knuckles will not play together in 2026.

The Detroit Lions are reportedly trading running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. In return, the Lions will get:

• Texans’ 4th-round pick
• OL Juice Scruggs
• Texans 7th-round pick

There was clearly some tension between Montgomery and the Lions after the 2025 season, in which Montgomery saw his usage decline with the rise of Jahmyr Gibbs. Just last week, Lions general manager Brad Holmes suggested that there were still 0ngoing talks between the Lions and Montgomery.

“Obviously, look, we love David. He’s a great player. We would love to have him. Kind of want to put last year in the rearview and just move forward. But a player has to want to be at a certain place as well, so those conversations are still fluid and we’re just kind of seeing how it goes,” Holmes said last week.

With the move, the Lions will clear up just north of $3.5 million in cap space, but now they have a significant need at the second running back position.

The conquest of the South American Women's Under-20 Championship reaffirms the strength of Brazilian football beyond the field. The title of the Brazilian Women's Under-20 Football Team is a direct result of continuous investment and the structured training model established by the CBF, which is based on strategic planning, a unified methodology, and the integration between the youth and the main team.

More than just the trophy, the consistent campaign and the style of play displayed throughout the competition highlight the tangible impact of a medium to long-term plan. Organization, identity, intensity, and competitive mentality were the team's trademarks from start to finish, reflecting a development process. For the Women's National Teams coordinator, Cris Gambaré, the title symbolizes the consolidation of a structured project.

“This South American Under-20 title is concrete proof that our training project is solid and working. More than winning, we showed organization, a clear methodology, a game identity, and real integration between the youth and the main team. It is not an isolated result; it is a consequence of planning, individual monitoring, and a strong connection with the clubs. We reaffirm Brazil as a reference in training on the continent, with a prepared, competitive, and mentally strong generation. It is an Under-20 achievement, but the impact is systemic: it strengthens the entire structure of the Women's National Teams and consolidates work designed to sustain excellence in the present while aiming for the future,” she stated.

The model adopted by the CBF includes continuous monitoring of athletes, technical alignment between categories, and ongoing dialogue with the training clubs. This ecosystem ensures that players arrive at international competitions with maturity, tactical repertoire, and confidence. Gabriel Mastrodomenico, manager of the Women's Youth National Teams, emphasizes that success in training goes beyond the final result.

“The conquest brings well-deserved recognition for all the dedication and work, both from the staff and the athletes. However, when we talk about youth and training, it is important to emphasize that it is not just the victory and the title that define success. The way of playing, with the Brazilian team's DNA from start to finish, the pursuit of goals, the intensity, putting all this into practice over nine games is of great importance and goes beyond the conquest. Winning and maintaining dominance in the tournament is very important, and we are confident that these athletes finish this cycle more mature, more experienced, and more ready for the next step.”
