The Green Bay Packers will have one of the most unique bye weeks in the history of the NFL during the 2026 season. After playing the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 10 in Week 10, the Packers will enter their bye week in Week 11. But instead of getting the traditional 14 days between games, the Packers will immediately go into a very short week in Week 12 -- with a trip to Los Angeles to play the Rams on Wednesday night, or the night before Thanksgiving.Not only will the game be just the second Wednesday game in Packers team history (and first since 1938), but Green Bay and Los Angeles will play the NFL's first Thanksgiving Eve game.This scheduling quirk cuts both ways for the Packers. While Matt LaFleur's team will get a shorter bye week than just about every team in the NFL, the Packers will also get another "mini" bye after playing the Rams. In Week 13, the Packers will play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Dec. 6 -- or 11 days after playing the Rams. Overall, the Packers will play only two games over a 20-day period.Also, consider the first eight weeks. The Packers play two Thursday night home games, providing two other "mini" byes during the first half of the 2026 season. That's two 10-day stretches between games in the first half (and the games at home, so no travel involved with short weeks). And the Packers get another "mini" bye between playing the Chicago Bears on Friday, Dec. 25 (short road trip) and the Houston Texans at home on Monday, Jan. 4, another span of 10 days.So, while the NFL might have drastically shortened the Packers' traditional bye week in Week 11, LaFleur's team will essentially get five "mini" byes during the 2026 season.Do five "mini" byes beat one traditional bye week for the Packers? We'll find out in 2026.This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: Packers schedule: Five mini-byes equal one bye week in 2026?

There is a strong and almost undoubted sentiment that France is not only a major contender for the FIFA 2026 World Cup title, but Les Bleus quite simply are the ones to beat. In the last two tournaments, France ended as champion (2018) and runner-up (2022) and as Didier Deschamps looks to end his remarkable managerial reign (one of only three managers to win the World Cup as player and manager) this summer, his recently announced 26-man squad is more than prepared to win the third title in its history. But he is not getting carried away. "I have ambition, and I want the players to have it too," said Deschamps in a press conference after making the announcement. "But I don't want us to lose our humility. I'm not going to hide and say we're not among the teams with the potential to become world championsbut there are eight, maybe 10 teams that can say that. It's not by shouting: 'We're the best, we're the strongest.'" Its this type of level-headedness that has made him a successful head coach at international level but despite my appreciation for his humility, no matter how he paints it, he knows his squad is terrifyingly deep. So much so that some very talented and well-known names failed to make the cut. Will it come back to haunt Deschamps or are the omissions a result of a truly, devastatingly dangerous squad that needed balance, experience and clinical ability in order to go all the way? Time will surely tell. Here are my takeaways on France's World Cup squad: 1. Don't Be Surprised By Those Snubs France has such a deep player pool that the nation could have filled out two top-tier World Cup squads, and there were bound to be some omissions. And heads were definitely turned when Eduardo Camavinga and Randal Kolo Muani, two players from the 2022 squad, were left off this time. But there is nothing controversial about Deschamps decision to omit both of these players, regardless of their past with the national team. Camavinga was the only outfield player who didnt start either of the teams friendlies against Brazil and Croatia in March. His season with Real Madrid has been plagued with injuries and inconsistent performances, and you just cant afford to have that kind of campaign and expect to make the French squad. Even more so can be said of Kolo Muani, who has only five goals to his name with Tottenham Hotspur (on loan from PSG) and only one in the Premier League, which was back in February. With the embarrassment of riches on the attacking line (even without the injured Liverpool youngster Hugo Ekitik), Kolo Muani, if being honest with himself, probably saw this coming. They both did. 2. A Chance For Kylian Mbapp To Reset Despite the individual accomplishments with Real Madrid (leading La Ligas goal standings once again), Kylian Mbapp has had a tumultuous second season with Los Blancos, who once again relinquished the league title to Barcelona and failed to deliver a Champions League trophy, a piece of silverware not yet won by the French captain. Whats worse, the fans are turning against him. On Thursday night, after returning from injury and coming on as a substitute in a 2-0 win against Real Oviedo, he was jeered by his own supporters. The reported friction with manager lvaro Arbeloa (and Xabi Alonso before him) doesnt help so this World Cup probably comes at a great time for Mbapp. Its an opportunity to press the reset button and reclaim the status as the best attacker in the game. He will need to have a strong mindset to help France win a third World Cup title and his second. Who knows, maybe when he returns to Madrid (if?) he will have Jose Mourinho to welcome him as new coach! Whether thats a positive or negative, Ill leave that up to you, esteemed reader. But in terms of France, especially with so many youngsters, Deschamps will need his leader to be at the top of his gamementally and physically. 3. NGolo Kant Gives Balance On A Glitzy Squad France has historically been renowned for two respected exports in the world: exquisite red wine from the Bordeaux region and NGolo Kant. Both get better with age. We can all marvel at the likes of Mbapp, Ballon dOr winner Ousmane Dembl and many other attackers, but Frances success mainly depends on the defensive spine of the team from the excellent resilient mind of Arsenals William Saliba to Bayern Munichs Dayot Upamecano, the backline will be key. But I want to acknowledge the always-reliable genius of NGolo Kant, who once again will be Frances most important player. Even at 35, he will be key due to his ability to read the game, offer stability and make tactical decisions during vital moments of action. Without him, France would be weaker. France is at its best when it is strongoff the ball, protecting Mike Maignans goal and allowing the attacking line to flourish in the final third. Deschamps, a former defensive midfielder (and one of the best ever in this position) knows this too well. And I really wouldnt worry about Kant because just like the playwright David Mamet once wrote,"old age and treachery will always outdo youth and exuberance." 4. Will Talent Compensate For Experience? One particular factor to remember is that there are a lot of World Cup first-timers in this squad. In total, there are 13 players who have never experienced the biggest sporting event on the global stage. The goalkeepers, for example, all three of them Mike Maignan (AC Milan), Robin Risser (Lens) and Brice Samba (Rennes) are new to the competition. From Chelseas Malo Gusto to Michael Olise (BayernMunich) and Rayan Cherki (Manchester City), theres obvious talent but no experience. France will most likely have the aforementioned Olise and PSGs Dsir Dou in the starting lineup barring any injuries but the one I am focusing on is Maignan. He is clearly an experienced stopper with so much pedigree, but this is a big opportunity for him. We all know how important Hugo Lloris was to France throughout his career, so its key for the goalkeeper to live up to the moment. Maignan, who didnt make the 2022 squad due to injury, will now take full advantage. 2026 FIFA World Cup: How To Watch The World Cup will run from June 11July 19, 2026.

Italy's Jannik Sinner celebrates a point against Russia's Daniil Medvedev during their semi-final, which was delayed yesterday due to rainfall, at the ATP Rome Open tennis tournament at Foro Italico in Rome on May 16, 2026. (Photo by Tiziana FABI / AFP via Getty Images)TIZIANA FABI via Getty ImagesDaniil Medvedev has struggled mightily on clay during his career. The Russian was notoriously blanked 6-0, 6-0 in Monte Carlo last month. On his way to an early exit from that ATP Masters 1000 event, the former world No. 1 drew ire and received a fine for smashing his racket seven times in a contest that lasted all of 49 minutes. But on Friday, against the current world No. 1, Medvedev found himself playing much longer in Rome, on the very surface thats caused him so much trouble over the years. The 30-year-old Medvedev, seeded seventh in the Italian Open, gave top-seeded Italian Jannik Sinner everything he could handle in the semifinals.Medvedev forced a third set, threatening Sinners 32-match win streak in Masters 1000 events a record-breaking mark he set on Thursday, surpassing Serbian great Novak Djokovic and, by extension, jeopardizing Sinners similarly trail-blazing streak of five consecutive Masters 1000 titles.Play 2026 Soccer Pick 'Em with FOX One and make your picks for the world's biggest soccer tournamentUltimately, Sinner escaped unscathed in a match that saw him physically taxed, bent over and taking a medical timeout in the third set. After all of that, play was suspended due to rain in the seventh game of that fateful set. Following a postponement, Sinner, already up 4-2, finished off Medvedev on Saturday after 15 minutes, advancing to the final, thanks to a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 triumph.Sinner throwing upthis doesnt look good That cameramans reaction though pic.twitter.com/MUQ9Ie0LOD SK (@Djoko_UTD) May 15, 2026Sinner is now one win away from becoming the first Italian to claim the Italian Open since Adriano Panatta accomplished the feat in 1976. Sinner also reached the events final last year but fell to rival Carlos Alcaraz, who notably is sidelined at the moment by a wrist injury that will keep him out of the French Open as well.Sinner will face Norwegian Casper Ruud in the final on Sunday. Rudd, seeded 23rd, overcame a rain delay and defeated 18th-seeded Italian Luciano Darderi 6-1, 6-1 on Friday. With an elusive victory in his proverbial backyard, Sinner would become the first man to complete a season sweep of the clay Masters 1000 events since Spanish legend Rafael Nadal in 2010. Plus, he will have won all nine Masters tournaments before turning 25. As of now, Djokovic is the only man to win each of them, although he reached that milestone at 31, according to The Athletic.Sinners fast start, followed by his arduous second setSinner took the first set 6-2 on Friday, but Medvedev used an early break in the second to get ahead. Thats when things got interesting.Sinner toiled through clear discomfort. He was ailing, and Medvedev was exacerbating the effects by winning rallies. The Russians drop shots, in particular, disrupted Sinners rhythm.Sinner forced a 5-5 tie late in the second set. But Medvedev kept the pressure on, noticeably blowing through his service points, perhaps to keep a tired Sinner on his toes. Once Medvedev took a 6-5 lead, he broke Sinner again, this time triggering a third set. He used a backhand winner to set the stage for that final set.Sinners resurgence, his medical timeout and a rain postponementBefore that second-set setback, Sinner had won 65 of his last 67 sets at Masters 1000 events.He responded. In the third game of the third set, he broke Medvedev, who whiffed while trying to return a tough bounce midway through that pivotal game. After swinging the momentum back to his side, Sinner pumped his fist and let out a roar to the tune of a delighted crowd at the Foro Italico.Jannik Sinner breaks Medvedev in the 3rd set in Rome.
