“He bumped heads with a teammate at practice,” Lowe said. “He had minor swelling under his left eye and now a broken jaw. But he’ll practice at 7 in the morning (today) and he’ll be on the plane and he’ll play.”
I'm assuming they meant "not" instead of "now", but doesn't this misprint change the meaning of this sentence just a bit?

Yeah, I had to re-read it a couple of times and assumed the same thing. It was the kind of statement that will certainly cause some confusion early in the morning.

spell check doesn't catch misused words, so unless there's a proofreader (or the writer). When you read and reread something over and over, you miss things. A fresh pair of eyes would do every newsperson good.
