Great news, although this presumably means he's not playing, which is a shame!

The @usmlr Disciplinary page has been updated and it already has one interesting entry!
The @NEFreeJacks have been penalised for violating the League's Anti-Tempering Policy, receiving a Salary Cap Deduction for #MLR2026, and their 2026 1st Rd Draft pick moves to @AnthemRugby!

The crossover we’ve been waiting for 🤩

Commanders’ T.J. Maguranyanga taps into why the foundation of tackling in rugby helped him transition to the NFL.
@Commanders
One of DC’s finest on the biggest of stages! Castres away is always a challenge, particularly at Scrum time!
Wishing Jack Iscaro the best of luck as he starts for @SFParisRugby! The entire OGDC family is cheering you on!🩷
