Montreal Roses break record, Messi retires and other sports news - CTV News

The Chicago Bears were hit by a surprise retirement this week After nine NFL seasons, former first-round pick Marcus Davenport has abruptly decided to retire. Davenport played in his first game of the season on Sunday, and he ended up logging a total of 12 snaps for the Bears before making the decision to call it quits.  According to NFL Network, the 30-year-old asked to be released following Sunday's game against the Jets, which the Bears won 23-12. Davenport was credited with making one tackle during his 12 snaps on the field. Davenport originally signed with the Bears back in mid-August with hopes that he could revive his career in Chicago. He got released on the NFL's Aug. 30 cut-down day, but the Bears did sign him to their practice squad. The veteran pass-rusher didn't see any action during the first three weeks of the season, but Chicago did finally activate him for Sunday's game against the Jets. A career plagued by injuriesDavenport's career began in 2018, when the Saints selected him 14th overall in the NFL Draft. He ended up spending five seasons in New Orleans, and during his time there, he never quite lived up to the hype that comes with being a first-round pick.

Connor Hellebuyck's suspension will come to an end on Friday. Elliotte Friedman has the story.

Initial reactions and ObservationsBayern played a near perfect match today, and preserved enough players for the big game against Arsenal. Maarten Vandevoordt produced 11 saves today, the highest number of saves in a single match so far in the Bundesliga. Luis Diaz was electric today. He got the hat-trick his performance deserved. Kane and Olise were potent up front as well. That’s all, folks. Thanks a bunch for staying with us. The big one is up next: a home match against Arsenal. Bayern did beat them 1-0 before but that was under much different circumstances. Can the Bavarians win it? Maybe, but we’ll have to find out in a few days.
