Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young and all of the team's starters will play in the first two preseason games, according to head coach Dave Canales.

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired left-hander Jordan Montgomery (elbow) and right-handed reliever Shelby Miller from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Jordan James (knee) missed training camp practice on Thursday with what head coach Kyle Shanahan called "knee issues." Before missing practice on Thursday, a report recently surfaced that the 21-year-old fifth-rounder had been impressing the coaching staff at camp. As long as his knee issues don't hinder him too […]

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (knee) missed his second straight day of training camp practice on Thursday with knee soreness, according to the Jets' official site.

Miles Sanders Misses Practice With Slight Knee Bruise

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders (knee) did not practice on Thursday at training camp due to a slight bruise to his left knee, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.

Jaydon Blue Continues to Impress

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer had more good things to say about rookie running back Jaydon Blue at training camp on Thursday.

The Houston Astros are acquiring outfielder Jesus Sanchez from the Miami Marlins on Thursday in exchange for right-hander Ryan Gusto, sources tell MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.

Tigers Acquire Codi Heuer From Rangers

The Detroit Tigers acquired right-hander Codi Heuer from the Texas Rangers on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.

Astros Acquire Carlos Correa From the Twins

The Houston Astros agreed to a deal to reacquire shortstop Carlos Correa (head) from the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, a source tells MLB.com's Brian McTaggart.

Yandy Diaz Exits After Hit by Pitch Against Yankees
