Treylon Burks Doesn't Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks didn't take part in Thursday's training camp practice due to undisclosed reasons. Burks left Wednesday's practice due to undisclosed reasons as well. The 22-year-old had conditioning issues related to asthma in the spring, so it's fair to wonder if it's related to that. Burks, a first-round selection eventually […]

Drake London Misses Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons rookie first-round wide receiver Drake London (knee) didn't take part in Thursday's training camp practice. London has been dealing with a nagging knee injury that he sustained in the preseason opener, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term issue and he should be ready to go for Week 1 of the regular […]

Garrett Wilson Has Dealt With Drops

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson had made a habit of following up highlight-reel catches with bad drops throughout training camp, but he continues to make an impression this summer with his elite-level athleticism. Wilson had three catches, including a touchdown, in joint practice with the New York Giants on Thursday. Quarterback Joe […]

Antonio Gibson To Be Top Kick Returner?

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera seemed to name running back Antonio Gibson as the team's top kick returner this year. "You still need to see some more stuff, but you know, I think he is. I do. I think he's done a nice job," Rivera said. Gibson's fantasy stock has been falling basically all […]

Kyle Tucker Out Thursday With Foot Injury

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (foot) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins due to a foot injury.

The Washington Nationals claimed right-hander Tommy Romero off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester.

Eloy Jimenez Back In The Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (elbow) is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth on Thursday against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jordan Lyles.

Miles Sanders Considered Eagles Lead Back

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has made it clear that running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is the team's lead back, with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott playing complementary roles. That's how it was in 2021 as well, but injuries cut into Sanders' production and allowed Gainwell to have a strong rookie season. If Sanders […]

Cam Akers Not A Lock For RB1 Duties To Open The Season

ESPN's Sarah Barshop doesn't think it's a lock that Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers will start the regular season as the team's true RB1. Both head coach Sean McVay and offensive coordinator Liam Coen said the Rams plan to use both Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr. regularly. Akers could end the season as […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Atop The RB Depth Chart

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is clearly atop the running back depth chart, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.

J.K. Dobbins Won't Have Full Workload Early On

Even if Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) suits up for the Week 1 season opener against the New York Jets, which isn't a guarantee at this point, he won't have a full workload. He's been pushing team officials to get back on the field, but the Ravens want to be cautious with their […]

Giants Sign Tanner Hudson

The New York Giants signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers tight end Tanner Hudson to an undisclosed deal on Thursday.
