Japan's government upgraded its assessment of factory output in its monthly economic report, signaling a potential bottoming out of production and showing signs of picking up for the first time in a year. The report also upgraded its assessment of imports and public works, while maintaining an unchanged overall economic assessment for a third consecutive month. Despite no revisions to private consumption and capital expenditure, the report highlighted a moderate recovery pace in the Japanese economy, although recent data suggests a pause.

前NFL防守戰衛南達蒙·蘇（Ndamukong Suh）自2021年以來並未再效力水手隊，但他或許在今年協助球隊進步。根據Tampa Bay Times的Rick Stroud報導，蘇與水手隊的防守戰衛維塔·維亞（Vita Vea）在今年淡季一同訓練，結果維亞明顯減重。報導指出，維亞的體重超過他官方記載的347磅，球隊認為他的體重在去年拖累了他的表現。37歲的蘇雖然並未正式退休，但去年未簽約並未出賽，他一直以在NFL職業生涯中嚴格的淡季訓練而聞名，時常跳過隊內非強制性淡季訓練，然後在訓練營比隊友狀態更好地出現。蘇和維亞曾在2019年至2021年間在水手隊的防守戰線上並肩作戰。水手隊的防守線教練Kacy Rodgers表示，維亞體重減輕後「看起來差異很大」，球隊需要他在2023年的表現之上更上一層樓，當時他表現良好但尚未統治比賽。一個體型更苗條的維亞可能會成為統治性球員，而水手可能有蘇可感謝，讓2024年的維亞更加統治比賽。
