Derrick Henry Unlikely To Play In The Preseason

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said he "wouldn't anticipate seeing him in any preseason games," when referring to whether the team will change their approach with running back Derrick Henry this summer.

Joe Burrow Having Surgery On Appendix

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (appendix) is undergoing surgery to remove his appendix, according to a source. He will miss some practice time at training camp as a result.

Christian McCaffrey To Have Normal Training Camp

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that he doesn't expect many changes with running back Christian McCaffrey's (ankle) preseason preparation.

Jamison Crowder Dealing With Soreness

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receivers Jamison Crowder and Jake Kumerow will miss practice on Tuesday with "soreness" and "tightness" and will be listed as day-to-day at training camp.

There was speculation […]

No Timeline For Darius Leonard

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (back) isn't putting a timetable on his return after he had surgery in June to fix two discs in his back that were causing pain all the way down his leg.

Colts Still Talking With T.Y. Hilton But Not Julio Jones

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that the team has continued to have dialogue with free-agent wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, but they have not had any discussions with Julio Jones.

Red Sox Not Considering Dealing Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers

Boston Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said "there's been no discussion or communication internally or externally" about trading shortstop Xander Bogaerts or third baseman Rafael Devers.

Walker Buehler Plays Catch Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (forearm), who has been sidelined since June 10 after suffering a Grade 2 flexor strain in his right forearm, played catch on Monday for the first time.

Andrew Heaney Likely To Return Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will likely return from the injured list to start on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals, according to skipper Dave Roberts.

MLB, Players Union Can't Agree On International Draft

The MLB Players Association rejected the league's latest proposal on an international draft on Monday, which means the free-agent qualifying offer system that has been a drag on some free agents, will remain in place.

Bobby Witt Jr. Sitting Monday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels.

Giants Work Out Eric Ebron

The New York Giants worked out a group that included free-agent tight end Eric Ebron on Monday.

Roquan Smith Set For Holdout

Chicago Bears All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith will not be participating in training camp when veterans are scheduled to report on Tuesday, according to sources.

Steelers Release Trey Edmunds

The Pittsburgh Steelers released running back/fullback Trey Edmunds on Monday, according to a source. In his four seasons with Pittsburgh, Edmunds only had 22 carries for 92 yards and caught six of seven targets for 48 yards in 21 games, so he obviously wasn't a big part of their offense at all. He only played […]
