NFL
Green Bay Packers Hall of Famer Willie Wood has died. Wood was the first black quarterback in the history of what is now the PAC-12, but was not drafted into the NFL. He tried out with the Packers, who turned him into a safety, and he was named to the Pro Bowl eight times between 1960 and 1971. Wood also became the first black professional football head coach, when he was named to lead the Philadelphia Bell of the World Football League. Willie Wood was 83.
The Detroit Lions have signed offensive guard Josh Garnett to a contract. Garnett was a first-round draft pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2016, but his career was derailed by injuries. He was released by the 49ers before the start of the 2019 season.
