Report: Panthers reach deal with Muhsin 'Moose' Muhammad III
April 27 - The Carolina Panthers agreed to sign wide receiver Muhsin "Moose" Muhammad III as an undrafted free agent, NFL Network reported on Sunday.
If that name sounds familiar, well, it should.
Muhsin Muhammad, his father, ranks second in the franchise's history in catches (696), receiving yards (9,255) and receiving touchdowns (50) while playing for the Panthers from 1996-2004. The two-time Pro Bowl selection also was the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award recipient for 1999.
The younger Muhammad totaled 81 catches for 1,163 yards and 12 touchdowns during four seasons with Texas A&M.
He joins a wide receiver room that includes Tetairoa McMillan, who was selected by Carolina with the eighth overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Arizona. The Panthers also picked Colorado receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. in the sixth round.

Oilers look to ride momentum into Game 5 vs. Panthers in even series
June 13 - The Edmonton Oilers could have returned home a loss away from falling to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final for a second straight year. Instead, they have a chance to put themselves one win away from a championship when they host the Panthers for Game 5 on Saturday. It didn't look like they would be in this position after Florida staked a 3-0 lead in the first period of Game 4 on Thursday. But the Oilers rallied to take a 4-3 advantage and, after the Panthers tied it in the dying seconds, Leon Draisaitl clinched it in overtime to give the visitors the 5-4 win. The best-of-seven series is tied 2-2. "I mean, everybody knows what the crowd's going to be like, Saturday night in Alberta, it's going to be exciting," veteran Edmonton winger Corey Perry said. "But I think I've talked about this a lot: We're mature and I think after that first period last night it showed we're a mature hockey team. I don't expect anything else." The 40-year-old helped spark the Oilers with some words of wisdom after the first period. He's also been delivering on the ice with nine goals in the playoffs, second only to Draisaitl. Perry, who is playing in the Stanley Cup Final for the fifth time in the past six seasons, has 140 points (63 goals, 77 assists) in 235 career playoff games. "He's been so valuable for us," Edmonton defenseman Mattias Ekholm said of Perry. "He's a leader and he knows exactly when to step in there. He doesn't do it all the time but when he does, it's always great and gets everybody's attention. "I mean, it was good from him last night again, both on the ice and in the locker room. It's what we expect out of him. He's getting up there, but he's still got it." The Panthers, meanwhile, are turning the page after the loss. They've been here before: Last year, Edmonton erased Florida's 3-0 series lead to ultimately force a Game 7. "We're calm and confident," Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling said. "If we play our game, we know we're going to win most games. ... The good thing is, we have a game tomorrow, so we're ready to bounce right back. We're very excited to get back." It's been an incredibly tight series thus far, with three of the four games going to overtime. Florida's power play has helped fuel the defending Cup champions, going 7-for-21 with the man advantage. It could be the edge the Panthers need to regain the series lead; the Oilers have scored just four times on 20 power-play opportunities. "A lot of the success in postseason is how you handle your losses," Florida forward Sam Reinhart said. "They're going to happen, especially when you get down to the last two teams. You've got two of the best teams going at it. So you've got to expect to lose at some point. There's a lot we can learn from and come back strong in Game 5." Edmonton has not announced a starting goalie for Game 5. Stuart Skinner was pulled after allowing three goals on 17 shots in the first period in Game 4. He was also pulled early in the third period of the 6-1 loss in Game 3. --Field Level Media

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have date night at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stepped out for a hockey-filled date night. The couple was spotted holding hands as they made their way to their seats at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, to watch Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers on June 12. Video of their arrival was shared on X by the NHL's official account. Swift, who recently purchased the rights to her music, looked stylish in a beige two-piece jacket and shorts set. Her hair was in a long braid and sported her signature red lip. Kelce, on his end, opted for a red sweatshirt and shorts matching set, as well. The Kansas City Chiefs star was also seen rocking a Panthers and Palm Tree Crew hat. Photos and video of Kelce and Swift continued to make their way online. Sports Center shared a snap of the two when they were shown on TV and Sportsnet posted a clip of the commentators calling the couple 'musical and sporting royalty.' They also mentioned the singer's song 'Florida!!!' off her album 'The Tortured Poets Department.' Throughout the night, the pair was seen cheering on the Panthers while sitting in the team's section. It's a rare public outing for Swift and Kelce who, aside from being photographed in New York heading to dinner, usually steer clear of large events. While they may not be spotted out and about as frequently, Kelce does support the superstar whenever he gets a chance. In May, after a years-long battle and re-recording of four of her albums, Swift revealed she now owns her master recordings. 'To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it. To my fans, you know how important this has been to me — so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released 4 of my albums, calling them Taylor's Version,' she wrote in part. 'The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music.' Shortly after, in a 'New Heights' podcast episode, Kelce congratulated Swift on the accomplishment. When guest Shaquille O'Neal played and told Kelce that 'I Knew You Were Trouble' was his 'favorite song in the world,' Kelce happily praised the pop star. 'Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too,' he said. 'Just bought all her music back so it's finally hers, man.'

June 13 - Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson is dealing with blood clots for the second time since 2022, NFL Network reported on Friday. While Jackson is expected to play this season, the Rams secured insurance at the position by agreeing to terms with free agent tackle D.J. Humphries on Thursday.

Humphries, 31, started 15 games with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023 before sustaining a torn ACL. He joined the Kansas City Chiefs in late November of last season and started two games. Humphries has started all 100 career games he has played since the Cardinals selected him with the 24th overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021. --Field Level Media
