Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. is unlikely to play Friday against Purdue after suffering a rib injury in the Huskies’ loss to Iowa, though coach Jedd Fisch says his status remains day to day. Williams did not practice Monday, and backup Elijah Brown took the first-team reps; Fisch said a significant improvement would be needed for Williams to play. Brown completed 28 of 39 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns after replacing Williams, who left the game in the second quarter.

The NFL rescinded Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams’ two fines, totaling nearly $27,000, for celebrations during a game against the Buffalo Bills. Williams argued one gesture was not offensive, and the appeals officer urged him to celebrate professionally; Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase also won an appeal over a celebration mimicking a wrestling move.
