Chiefs Sign Devin Gray

The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent wide receiver Devin Gray to an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday after a solid workout, according to his agent. Gray most recently played in the USFL and has spent time in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens. The 27-year-old from the University of Cincinnati has yet […]

Panthers Won't Rush Decision on Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he won't make a "major decision" on any position, particularly between quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, until after the Aug. 19 preseason game against the New England Patriots. "I'm not putting a timetable on the quarterback position until after we get back from the Patriots week," Rhule […]

Daniel Bellinger Looking Like No. 1 TE

New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger was the clear No. 1 tight end at training camp practice on Friday. Chris Myarick saw action with the starters in rare two-tight end sets, while rookie Andre Miller lined up as a fullback in the jumbo goal-line formation. Bellinger is getting extra repetitions with the first-team […]

Darius Slayton Works With Third-Team Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was working with the third-team offense in training camp practice on Friday. Rookie Wan'Dale Robinson, Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney worked with the first team, while Richie James, Collin Johnson and C.J. Board worked with the second team. Slayton worked with Keelan Doss, Austin Proehl and Alex Bachman. […]

David Bell Comes Off PUP List

The Cleveland Browns activated rookie wide receiver David Bell (foot) off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. The third-round pick out of Purdue was a consensus All-American in 2021 and is an intriguing prospect that could earn playing time early as a slot option for the Browns with Jarvis Landry now in New […]

Tyler Linderbaum Likely Out A Few Weeks

Baltimore Ravens first-round rookie center Tyler Linderbaum (foot) was injured in Friday's training camp practice and had an MRI exam that didn't show any real concerns. However, head coach John Harbaugh said that Linderbaum will likely be out for a week or two, which probably means he won't play in next Thursday's preseason opener against […]

James Proche II Playing Lights-Out In Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens third-year wide receiver James Proche II has been standing out at training camp this summer. He's made a few plays in just about every practice so far and he's working pretty much every area of the field. Proche's precise route-running has made him a nightmare to cover on one-on-one drills. The former sixth-rounder […]

Byron Pringle To Miss Time With Quad Injury

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that wide receiver Byron Pringle (quadriceps) will miss some time with a quadriceps injury, but there is no specific timetable for his return. Cornerback Kyler Gordon and rookie receiver Velus Jones Jr. are also day-to-day with undisclosed injuries. It hasn't been a good summer for Pringle with his […]

Jaycee Horn Making A Slow Recovery

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn's (foot) slow recovery from a foot injury from 11 months ago is a little disconcerting, according to The Athletic's Joseph Person. Horn hasn't taken part in any team drills at training camp after coming off the Physically Unable to Perform list, and he won't participate in practice for several more […]

C.J. Saunders Impressing Again This Summer

Carolina Panthers wide receiver C.J. Saunders impressed during last year's training camp as an undrafted free agent, but most wrote him off as an undersized receiver making the most of his repetitions in non-contact drills against second- and third-stringers. Saunders is impressing again this year, often against the starting secondary, and it's clear he's earned […]

Christian McCaffrey's Stock Is Rising

Although the Carolina Panthers are being cautious with running back Christian McCaffrey at training camp this summer after a rash of injuries the last two seasons, he's not exactly taking it easy either. Head coach Matt Rhule said McCaffrey won't practice more than two days in a row in full pads, but he's still getting […]

Michael Thomas Making Progress

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was in team drills at training camp practice for the first time on Saturday and came out of them with no setbacks. Thomas even went to the ground and had no issues. So far, Thomas has looked really good at training […]

Tom Brady Returns To The Team

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is back at training camp practice on Saturday after a day off and some personal days. There's really nothing to see here. The future first-ballot Hall of Famer hasn't practiced in a few days, but we think he'll be just fine. He'll also be held out of the team's […]

Mike Evans Day-To-Day With Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is "day-to-day" with a hamstring injury that he suffered in practice on Friday at training camp. Evans has a history of minor hamstring injuries, but he should be just fine after sitting out potentially a couple days of practice. Barring another […]

Austin Hays Remains Out Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (oblique) is out of the starting lineup again on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hays is dealing with oblique tightness, but he downplayed the injury on Friday, so he could return to Baltimore's lineup on Sunday. Brett Phillips will get another start in left field on Saturday while hitting ninth […]

Taijuan Walker Lit Up By Braves

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker had an outing to forget on Friday against the division-rival Atlanta Braves in a 9-6 loss. The right-hander lasted just one inning, allowing eight earned runs on seven hits (two home runs) while striking out none and walking none. The nightmare outing raised the 29-year-old's ERA to 3.45 […]

Tylor Megill To Throw Bullpen Next Saturday

New York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill (shoulder) is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session next Saturday. Megill will return to the Mets as a reliever in late August or early September. After the season, the Mets have told him they'll stretch him back out as a starter for next year. Before his injury, the […]

Jason Castro Could Consider Retirement

Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro (knee), who underwent season-ending surgery on his left knee on July 26 to fix a torn meniscus, said he hasn't made a decision about his future after considering retirement in the spring after the 2022 season. "I'm non-weight-bearing for six weeks, so it's going to be difficult to kind of […]

Lance McCullers Jr. To Make Another Rehab Start Sunday

Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm), who was injured in last year's postseason, will make his fourth minor league rehab start for Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday and could then face a decision on whether he's ready to be activated from the injured list. McCullers allowed two earned runs on three hits while striking […]

Aledmys Diaz Dealing With Thumb Injury

Houston Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz (thumb) was out of Friday's lineup due to a thumb injury he sustained in an outfield collision on Thursday. "It's negative; no broken bones or anything," manager Dusty Baker said of Díaz's finger. "He might be available to pinch hit later, but [he'll] probably be more available [Saturday]." Fantasy […]

Andrelton Simmons Designated For Assignment

Chicago Cubs shortstop Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list on Saturday and then designated for assignment. Simmons, always a standout with his leather at the 6, was hitting just .173/.244/.187 with no home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases in 85 plate appearances over 34 games for the […]

Diego Castillo "Feeling Much Better"

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Diego Castillo (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Friday when the team opened their homestand against the Los Angeles Angels, and his shoulder is "feeling much better," according to skipper Scott Servais. Castillo will likely throw another bullpen session before returning from the injured list. The 28-year-old was always likely to […]

Dylan Moore Improving

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dylan Moore (back) has picked up baseball activity, and his back spasms have "calmed down," according to manager Scott Servais. Moore left the team's game on July 30 against the Houston Astros and was placed on the 15-day injured list on July 31. It remains to be seen if the 30-year-old will […]

Travis Jankowski Designated For Assignment

The Seattle Mariners designated outfielder Travis Jankowski for assignment on Friday in order to make room for newly acquired infielder/outfielder Jake Lamb. Lamb, a Seattle native, wasn't in the lineup on Friday against Los Angeles Angels left-hander Patrick Sandoval, but he'll likely be used regularly against right-handed pitchers, against whom he has an .808 OPS […]

Julio Rodriguez Could Return When Eligible

Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (wrist) could return from the injured list when he's first eligible on Aug. 10. He'll begin swinging a bat this weekend during the team's series against the Los Angeles Angels. It's possible the Mariners hold Rodriguez out until Aug. 12 at the Texas Rangers since they have an off […]

Enrique Hernandez Could Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

Boston Red Sox skipper Alex Cora said that outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) has "felt great" since resuming swinging a bat, and he's made steady progress ever since he got a platelet-rich plasma injection the weekend before the All-Star break. "We'll see [Aug. 9] where he is," Cora said, adding that plans could be in the […]

Chris Sale Resumes Playing Catch

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (finger) has started playing catch again, according to manager Alex Cora. However, the Red Sox haven't given a timetable for his return after having surgery on July 18, which was described as an "open reduction and internal fixation of a left fifth finger proximal phalarix fracture." Sale broke […]

David Peterson To Start Saturday

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson has been called up from the minors and will start Game 1 of a doubleheader against the division-rival Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Although the matchup is a tough one, Peterson is worth streaming consideration in fantasy. The 26-year-old southpaw has been effective for the Mets this year with a […]

Taylor Trammell Goes Deep Friday At Triple-A

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Tacoma on Friday night while playing center field and hitting leadoff. Trammell has been out with a right hamstring strain since late June, but he's getting close to returning to Seattle. […]

Beau Brieske Strikes Out Eight In Rehab Start

Detroit Tigers rookie right-hander Beau Brieske (forearm) looked really good in his latest minor league rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Friday night, giving up one run on three hits while striking out eight and walking none in 4 1/3 innings of work. He has given up three runs on eight hits while striking out […]
