Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant for Monday's estimated practice report.

New York Mets general manager Billy Eppler's and manager Buck Showalter's jobs are safe, according to a high-ranking team source.

Chicago Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said the team will "definitely" give catcher Willson Contreras a qualifying offer this winter, as expected.

Deonte Harty Could Be Out A Few Months

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harty (toe) suffered a turf-toe injury in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source.
