Chicago Fire continues to shake up its cast as TV newcomer Michael Bradway (Marked Men) is set to join the NBC drama in a recurring role.
As reported by Deadline, Bradway will play charming firefighter Jack Damon and is expected to make his first appearance in episode 10, airing next Wednesday, April 10. While the role is currently in a recurring capacity, Deadline reports he could potentially become a series regular next season.
Bradway joins the show amid a series of casting changes. On Friday, March 29, it was reported that Acapulco actress Jocelyn Hudon has joined the cast in a recurring role as a new paramedic.
These new hires come after the exits of Chicago Fire regulars Alberto Rosende (Gallo), who only appeared in the first episode of Season 12, and Kara Killmer (Sylvie), who departed on the February 28 episode to start a new life in Portland, Oregon, with her new husband, Jesse Spencer’s Matt Casey.
In addition, last week saw the final episode for Rome Flynn (Derrick), who ended his run after just six episodes. His character broke down and told Stella Kid (Miranda Rae Mayo) that he needed to leave to enter treatment after having withdrawals from prescription drugs.
As for Bradway, his role in Chicago Fire marks his television debut. He previously starred in the short films Piece and Tino and is set to feature in the upcoming movie Marked Men, directed by Nick Cassavetes and co-starring Alexander Ludwig.
“Got to be a part of the Chicago Fire Family for Season 12! Can’t wait for you guys to see it next week!” Bradway wrote on his Instagram page on Wednesday, April 3.
NBC recently renewed all three One Chicago series — Chicago Med (for Season 10), Chicago Fire (for Season 13), and Chicago P.D. (for Season 12). The three shows are produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment.

New details emerge on Cowboys trade Jerry Jones confirmed
On Monday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed that the team made a trade that would help the team get a player on the field "immediately" for Week 10. "A lot of action going on right now in terms of trading, we certainly have made a trade and we may make a couple more trades before that deadline,” Jones said during an appearance on Sirius XM Radio, via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. “We’ve made one. We possibly could make two more and I’m going to wait and let you read about that when we send the papers in tomorrow.” Jones declined to provide any more details as to what team the Cowboys traded with or for what player. Tuesday's official trade deadline is 4 p.m. EST. More details emerge on the Dallas Cowboys' trade On Monday evening, NFL insider Jordan Schultz provided a few more details on the confirmed trade. Dallas had previously had discussions regarding linebackers and defensive ends with multiple teams. The Cowboys had talks with the Cincinnati Bengals for defensive end Trey Hendrickson and linebacker Logan Wilson. Dallas also spoke with the Miami Dolphins for pass-rusher Bradley Chubb. The timing of the trade is somewhat curious. Dallas is 3-4-1 before getting set to host the 2-5 Arizona Cardinals on "Monday Night Football." Frankly, the trade makes Monday night's contest even more of a high-stakes game for the Cowboys. If they lose to Arizona, Dallas might have given up precious draft capital for an incoming player to join a 3-5-1 team with an almost impossible chance to make the postseason. Even if Dallas wins on Monday night, the team's odds of making the playoffs (to say nothing of being a Super Bowl contender) still aren't great. The NFC's current No. 7 seed is a tie between the 5-3 Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears. The Bears own the tiebreaker over Dallas because of the Cowboys' loss in Chicago earlier this season. Dallas will play the Lions on Dec. 4. As the No. 11 team in the NFC before Monday night's game, the Cowboys should have considered selling on Tuesday. There was no need for Jones to make a trade before playing the Cardinals.
Buffalo Bills restructure CB's contract, pointing to trade coming before deadline
The Buffalo Bills are making moves. Well, sort of. Leading into the NFL trade deadline, which is set for 4 p.m. on Tuesday, the Bills have cleared some cap space by restructuring the contract of nickel cornerback Taron Johnson. Per ESPN’s Field Yates, Buffalo converted Johnson’s base salary into a signing bonus, which created $1.75 million in cap relief. The move puts the Bills at about $3 million in available space under the salary cap, which may be enough to swing a trade for a player at one of many positions of need. With injuries all over the roster, there are countless options for the Bills to consider before the trade deadline, with the defensive tackle position, edge rusher, cornerback, safety and wide receiver among those most widely discussed over the past several weeks. While Buffalo remains cash strapped, this is one of a few minor moves General Manager Brandon Beane has the ability to make before Tuesday at 4 p.m. to help give the Bills some wiggle room to make a trade. Beane has not been shy of making trades to give the Bills a boost down the stretch run, including a season ago when he sent a third-round pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for wide receiver Amari Cooper.

Brewers Make Savvy Roster Move To Protect 25-Year-Old Curveball Specialist
The Milwaukee Brewers had a flurry of roster activity on Monday, but only one decision of serious consequence was made. Starting pitcher Freddy Peralta had his club option exercised, while fellow starter Brandon Woodruff and catcher Danny Jansen had mutual options that were declined by one of the parties. But those were all foregone conclusions. What was less certain, however, was whether the Brewers would keep one of their pitching prospects or expose him to the Rule 5 Draft in December. Brewers add Coleman Crow to 40-man roster On Monday, the Brewers added a new player to the 40-man roster: right-handed pitcher Coleman Crow. He's 24, throws a filthy curveball, and is a candidate to make his major league debut at some point within the next season. This season, Crow made 12 minor-league appearances -- 10 in Double-A, and two in Triple-A. He was having a very strong year, posting a 3.24 combined ERA and 64 strikeouts in 50 innings, but unfortunately, hip and forearm injuries kept him from pitching after July 9. Since mid-2023, Crow has been traded twice (once to the New York Mets, then to the Brewers) and also underwent Tommy John surgery. But MLB Pipeline still has him as the No. 25 prospect in the organization, and if the Brewers have a great track record with anything in recent years, it's getting the most from their young pitchers. The Brewers still have a first-round pick, oft-injured outfielder Eric Brown Jr., who could be Rule 5 eligible if he's not protected. On the pitching side, righty Justin Yeager is another name to watch, as the 27-year-old delivered a fantastic 2.04 ERA this past season and could probably be in a big-league bullpen to start next year. At some point next season, expect to see Crow get a shot at working out of the Brewers' rotation. That could come because someone else gets injured, or simply because he winds up dealing at Triple-A to begin the year and Milwaukee doesn't sign any big-name free agents.
Bears survey trade market after losing Dayo Odeyingbo for the year
It's likely to be costly but the Bears must pay the price now at defensive end with the season-ending loss of edge starter Dayo Odeyingbo to a torn Achilles. The free agent acquisition can look forward to a tough rehab from an injury that frequently takes up to a year to get past. Austin Booker will get to play most of the snaps at that position now. Without Odeyingbo and with Shemar Turner out for the year, they're without two edge but also Dominique Robinson has a high ankle sprain. "I thought Book played a nice game yesterday," coach Ben Johnson said. "I was very pleased to see that for his first game back. So no (not worried), I do have a lot of confidence there. Hopefully we’ll get Dom Robinson back too. He was doing some nice things there early in the season as well. We’ve got some depth. You can never have too many pass rusher. "You can never have too many cover players on the back end either. That’s how I have always felt since I’ve been in this league.” Actually, they don't have depth now, at least not proven edge players but he's right about the need always for players at that position. So the trade market beckons for GM Ryan Poles by Tuesday at 3 p.m. "I know Ryan and his crew have been doing their due diligence all throughout the fall, all the way up until tomorrow to make sure we’re turning over every stone to make sure if there’s a way that we can improve this roster, we’ll do that," Johnson said. "But I feel good about the guys we have on the roster currently." Trading now will be a case of biting the bullet and doing what they must. The attitude by Poles has always been to preserve his draft picks, but he didn't mind giving up a future fourth-round pick to draft Booker. So giving up as much as a second or third shouldn't hurt too much. "Those are always great questions. Ryan and I have a constant dialogue on players that might be available," Johnson said. "We talk nonstop about this and we've been doing it for a while now. He's doing, like I said, his due diligence to making sure that we look at everyone that could be available and that could help this football team in the here and the now, and also have in the back of our head what the ramifications of that also are (long term), the consequences when you give up capital, whether it's players or draft picks, what that does to your roster in the long-term. "It is a balancing act, but it's one that I think we have a really good process and a lot of communication on." The Bears missed on a chance for Jaelan Phillips, the Miami edge rusher. He was acquired in a trade by the Eagles from Miami earlier Monday. There had been reports the Bears had interest in him. It cost th Eagles a third-round pick. Because Odeyingbo was a more stout player who fit the Dennis Allen defensive scheme as a run stopper/edge rusher, it wouldn't be a surprise if they were looking for someone in the plus-260 range for weight. Booker isn't that type of player, and is only in his second year. He just became active Sunday after a knee injury in preseason landed him on IR. Booker had a strip-sack in the game. Pro Football Focus gave Booker the highest grade of any Bears player for pass rush on Sunday, an 85.8 for pass rush for 31 snaps. Gervon Dexter recovered the fumble caused by Booker on the sack of Joe Flacco and it led to a field goal. Booker has 2 1/2 career sacks and seven pressures according to Stathead/Pro Football Reference. Players actually on the trade market could include Cincinnati's Trey Hendrickson, Miami's Bradley Chubb, New Orleans' Carl Granderson and Cam Jordan. Both Granderson and Jordan played against the Bears last month and played a huge chunk of their careers for Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. Speculation the Giants would trade Kayvon Thibodeaux appears unfounded. Dianna Russini reported the Giants have told teams they want a first-round pick in exchange. That would have been interesting for the Bears and especially the Giants since they play each other this week. Cleveland's Myles Garrett has repeatedly demanded a trade but the Browns are resistant to that. Besides, his salary would take the Bears far over the cap and would require cutting someone or restructuring several contracts if it's even possible. The Raiders have also said they are not trading Maxx Crosby, but their season is slipping away now after yet another tight loss and perhaps they would listen to requests. The problem the Bears have for trading at this point in the season and with few edges on their roster is 1) the competition and 2) their own desperation. Whoever has a qualified edge is going to demand the highest compensation in a trade for draft picks. The Lions, 49rs, Cowboys and several other teams could be seeking an edge besides the Bears. The Bears have $7.88 million available in cap space now according to Overthecap.com.
