Madden NFL 26 Top-10 RBs revealed — did Steelers' Jaylen Warren make the list?
Here are the newly released Madden NFL 26 player ratings for the top-10 running backs — with Steelers RB Jaylen Warren unfortunately excluded.
Eagles, Saquon Barkley – 99 Overall
Ravens, Derrick Henry – 98 Overall
Lions, Jahmyr Gibbs – 95 Overall
49ers, Christian McCaffrey – 94 Overall
Falcons, Bijan Robinson – 92 Overall
Texans, Joe Mixon – 91 Overall
Packers, Josh Jacobs – 90 Overall
Bills, James Cook – 89 Overall
Colts, Jonathan Taylor – 88 Overall
Seahawks, Kenneth Walker – 88 Overall
Warren, while unofficial, is expected to have an 80 overall rating at launch — quite a ways off from Madden 26's top-10 running backs, and in a similar situation to 20-year veteran QB Aaron Rodgers.
The fourth-year Steelers RB, one of the most productive rushers over the past three years, deserves a boost to his Madden rating — but will have to settle for raising it the old-fashioned way: by proving his mettle to EA.

Falcons sign QB Ben DiNucci to replace injured Emory Jones for final preseason game at Dallas
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons signed quarterback Ben DiNucci on Monday to provide depth for Friday's final preseason game at Dallas. The Falcons needed help at quarterback after Emory Jones, competing with Easton Stick for the No. 3 job, was hurt in last week's 23-20 loss to Tennessee. Jones was placed in concussion protocol and waived/injured on Monday. Coach Raheem Morris said starter Michael Penix Jr. and veteran backup Kirk Cousins will not play against the Cowboys. Stick is expected to start. The Falcons also released wide receiver DJ Chark on Monday. DiNucci, a seventh-round draft pick by Dallas in 2020, played in three NFL games, including one start, in his rookie season. He completed 23 of 43 passes for 219 yards. DiNucci participated in Atlanta's rookie minicamp in May after spending time on Buffalo's roster in 2024. DiNucci played a combined five seasons at Pitt (2015-17) and James Madison (2018-19) in his college career. ___ AP NFL:

Lassana Diarra seeks 65 mn euros from FIFA and Belgian FA in transfer case
Former France international Lassana Diarra is seeking 65 million euros ($76 million) from FIFA and the Belgian football association as part of a long-running legal battle, the player's lawyer announced on Monday. Diarra's challenge to FIFA prompted world football's governing body to amend its transfer rules after a landmark legal ruling last year, but he has been unable to reach a settlement. His lawyer Martin Hissel said the claim was for "compensation for damage caused by FIFA rules" on transfers, which the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled to be contrary to European law last October. "Following a ruling by the CJEU, in the absence of an amicable solution, it is natural to return to the national courts so that they can implement the CJEU ruling," Hissel said in a statement. "That is what we are doing today, on the basis of a very clear ruling by the CJEU, which has settled all the essential legal points. The Belgian courts should deliver their decisions within 12 to 15 months." The CJEU in October found that FIFA rules impede the free movement of players by "imposing considerable legal risks, unforeseeable and potentially very high financial risks as well as major sporting risks on those players and clubs wishing to employ them", thereby disrupting the transfer system. At the request of the Belgian courts, the Luxembourg-based CJEU examined the case brought by Diarra, who 10 years ago had contested the conditions of his departure from Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow. In August 2014, Lokomotiv Moscow terminated Diarra's contract citing contractual breaches by the player. The Russian side also sought 20 million euros compensation from him. - 'Culture of contempt' - Diarra refused and requested that Lokomotiv pay him compensation, but the now 40-year-old was eventually ordered to pay his former club 10 million euros by FIFA, a fine that was upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Diarra also received a backdated 15-month suspension. As a result, Belgian club Charleroi ultimately decided not to sign the midfielder for fear of having to pay part of these penalties, in accordance with FIFA regulations examined by the CJEU. Following the CJEU's ruling, FIFA announced last December it had adopted an "interim regulatory framework" regarding player transfers. "I waited a few months before restarting the national proceedings in Belgium, thinking that, particularly following the efforts of FIFPRO Europe (the European players' union), FIFA and the Belgian football association would at least have the decency to contact me to propose an amicable settlement of the dispute (this was, in fact, the tone of the messages I received from FIFA)," said Diarra in a statement. "This was not the case. It is their right, but it reflects a persistent culture of contempt for the rule of law and for players, despite the very clear message sent by the CJEU. "To my great regret, we will therefore once again have to go before the judges, as I have no other choice." Capped 34 times by France, Diarra also played for Chelsea, Arsenal, Portsmouth and Real Madrid before ending his career at Paris Saint-Germain in 2019. kn/cyj/nf/mw

Eagles' A.J. Brown lands ahead of CeeDee Lamb on the NFL's Top 100 players list for 2025
A.J. Brown is one of the best players in the NFL, and a top thirty selection in this year's Top 100 players list. The Eagles' All-Pro landed at No. 29 on the list, ahead of NFC East rival and Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb, who was No. 35. Brown didn't rest on his laurels after winning Super Bowl 59. He chose to get right back into the gym and take his skills to another level as the Birds look to repeat as Champions. Brown is a motivational speaker and a team captain. He recently traveled to the most "dangerous gym in America" to test his mind, body, and spirit. Brown is taking things to another level. Despite missing three games due to injury last season, Brown led the team with 1,079 receiving yards. He also ranked 1st in receiving average (16.1) (min. 60 catches) and 3rd in receiving yards per game (83.0) (min. 13 games), behind Ja'Marr Chase (100.5) and Justin Jefferson (90.2). Smith posted a career-high 8 TDs in the regular season and hauled in a 46-yard TD in Super Bowl LIX. During the run to the Super Bowl, he became the franchise's all-time leader in postseason receiving yards (595). This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: A.J.
