Last season we did our weekly rookie quarterback tracker, but with only one taken in the first round of 2022, we’ve moved onto another highly coveted position. For 2022 we’ll keep track of all six first-round wide receivers and their progress throughout the year. Some of our first-round rookies are already off to the races and contributing heavily to their teams. Let’s check out this year’s group of rookie first-rounders. Inactive: Jameson Williams – Detroit Lions (torn ACL) source: Getty Images Although Williams can officially practice with the team now, he hasn’t been cleared yet. Lions head coach Dan Campbell says the rookie is rehabbing, but he’s still “several weeks away” from playing. The No. 12 overall pick is running again but still has a ways to go before debuting later this season. Inactive: Treylon Burks – Tennessee Titans (foot) source: Getty Images Tennessee placed rookie Treylon Burks on injured reserve after the wide receiver suffered a foot injury during the fourth quarter of the Titans’ Week 4 win over the Indianapolis Colts. According to ESPN, Tennessee can designate Burks to return from practice after missing four games, which would open up a 21-day window for him to be activated from IR. Inactive: Jahan Dotson – Washington Commanders (hamstring) source: Getty Images Jahan Dotson missed his third consecutive game as the Commanders beat the Packers, 23-21. Through four games, the wideout had already become one of Carson Wentz’s favorite targets, catching four TDs in those games, which tied him for the league lead entering week 5. But now Wentz isn’t even the starter anymore, and when Dotson returns, he’ll need to start from scratch building a new rapport with Taylor Heinicke. Hamstring injuries can be hard to gauge, so we’ll keep a close eye on how long this keeps Dotson out of the lineup. The 16th overall pick in the 2022 draft proved early on that he’s a player that knows how to find the end zone. There is no timetable yet for his return. 3. Drake London – Atlanta Falcons source: Getty Images Drake London was targeted one time and caught that lone pass his way for nine yards on Sunday as the Cincinnati Bengals mauled the Falcons 35-17. This has to be the lowest point of London’s rookie campaign, but let’s put a positive spin on this situation. It can’t get much worse, and the Falcons play the Panthers next. Sure, Carolina stomped out Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in Week 7, but there isn’t a lot of good going for the Panthers overall. Look for London to bounce back next week at home against Carolina. 2. Garrett Wilson – New York Jets source: Getty Images Since Zach Wilson returned, there hasn’t been too much to write home about for the receiving end of the Wilson-to-Wilson connection. In fact, this was the rookie wideout’s best game of the four Zach has played this year. The Jets are 4-0 with Wilson under center this year. As for the other Wilson, he’ll have to be happy with just winning for now because, at this rate, he won’t get anywhere close to winning Rookie of the Year honors. 1. Chris Olave – New Orleans Saints source: Getty Images After missing Week 6 due to a concussion, Chris Olave returned this week with a vengeance. He blew every other player away on this list, catching seven passes for 106 yards. Although the Saints lost to the Cardinals, 42-34, it was good to see Olave back on the field and be effective. Olave was second to DeAndre Hopkins (who made his season debut after a six-game suspension for violating the league’s PED policy) in receptions this game and led all receivers in yardage. It is a promising sign for Olave after suffering a head injury just a couple of weeks ago.

Euro 2016 witnessed a mammoth game in the quarter-finals as 2014 World Cup winners Germany locked horns with Euro 2012 finalists Italy in what has been the 34th meeting between two sides.
Germany have never beaten Italy at a major tournament before and tonight’s game was a highly anticipated event which for the most part failed to meet the expectations.
Both managers fielded matching formations tonight with Joachim Loew deciding to rival Antonio Conte with three men in the heart of defence. Benedikt Howedes replaces Julian Draxler, which allowed Loew to start with Howedes, Boateng and Hummels in the back with Jonas Hector and Joshua Kimmich as wing-backs.

The Switzerland international is in fine form for the Potters and netted his third goal of the season, and second in his last three club outings in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to bottom of the table Crystal Palace.

Ligue 1 leaders showed their human nature by suffering successive blows over the past seven days and will be under great pressure to get back to winning ways against strugglers Lille on Saturday afternoon.
Back-to-back defeats to Strasbourg in Ligue 1 and at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League have set the alarm bells ringing in Paris.
Having suffered their first domestic defeat of the season, the French heavyweights have been given another huge blow in Europe’s elite club competition with Bayern Munich getting their revenge for a 3-0 September beating in Munich. The most recent 3-1 loss to Bavarian giants saw PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi urge Ligue 1 leaders to ‘wake …

Independiente
Starting with the hosts, while Independiente might have claimed a crucial boost earlier in the month as they snatched a 1-0 win away at Central Cordoba, it appears that might have just been a minor positive for Ricardo Zielinski’s inconsistent squad. Immediately crashing back down to earth last time out as they were hit with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Atletico Tucuman, El Rojo almost find themselves sat in Primera Division limbo in 2023.

Norwich City begin their new Premier League spell at home on Saturday, when six-time European champions Liverpool come to Carrow Road in the opening round of the 2021-22 season.
Norwich City
It took Norwich just one season to claw their way back into the English top-flight, after suffering relegation in 2020; a fine achievement by manager Daniel Farke and his men. Their Championship campaign was rather convincing as they ended it topping the table with 97 points, six more than Watford who have also moved straight up. Brentford are the team that completes the promotion trio, having won the play-offs.
