Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run for his 35th long ball of the season in Thursday's 4-0 shutout win over the Cincinnati Reds. He also struck out twice in the game. The 29-year-old had gone 14 games without clearing the fences, so hopefully this gets him back on track […]

Danny Jansen Goes Deep Against Red Sox

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen had a big night offensively in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Boston Red Sox, going 3-for-5 with a home run, one RBI and two runs scored. It was a big game for Jansen, who has been mired in a slump in the month of August. Including his three-hit performance […]

Liam Hendriks Blows Save Against Baltimore

Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks blew only his fourth save of the season in the 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday.

Bobby Dalbec Drives In Two In Losing Effort

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec went 1-for-4 with two RBI, a stolen base, a run scored and a strikeout in a 6-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night. It was nice to see from Dalbec, who hasn't been very successful at the plate of late. The 27-year-old should see much […]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Juwann Winfree caught only one of his six targets for seven yards in the 17-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the team's preseason finale on Thursday night.

Joe Flacco Likely To Start In Week 1

Although New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said the team can wait until the week before the Sept. 11 regular season opener against the Baltimore Ravens to name a starting quarterback between Zach Wilson (knee) and veteran Joe Flacco, all signs point to Flacco getting the start. Wilson is a week removed from surgery […]

Nick Vannett Might Be Expendable

New Orleans Saints tight end Nick Vannett is a trade/cut candidate with training camp nearing an end, according to league sources. Vannett averaged over 30 snaps per game last year in New Orleans, but he's now part of a position battle with Adam Trautman, Taysom Hill, Juwan Johnson, J.P. Holtz and Lucas Krull. The majority […]

Myles Gaskin A Trade/Cut Candidate

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was the team's leading rusher each of the last two seasons, but the team added Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Sony Michel in the offseason. They also have Salvon Ahmed. Edmonds is expected to be the lead back, and Mostert has extensive history with head coach Mike McDaniel. Gaskin […]

Darrel Williams Could Be A Surprise Cut

Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams could be a surprise cut or trade candidate this summer, according to multiple league sources. Williams will make only $1.035 million this year, and the Cardinals don't have much RB depth with Williams, Eno Benjamin, rookie Keaontay Ingram and Jonathan Ward behind starter James Conner. However, Williams has played […]

O.J. Howard In Danger Of Being Cut

Buffalo Bills tight end O.J. Howard is in danger of being cut from the roster before the regular season.

Howard was on the field for just […]

Eric Fisher Wants To Play In 2022

Former No. 1 overall pick and offensive tackle Eric Fisher said he wants to play this year but will be selective. He's already turned down offers from nine teams so far. It's unclear if the Dallas Cowboys are one of those teams, but they certainly have a need now after losing starting left tackle Tyron […]

Patriots Release Malcolm Butler

The New England Patriots released cornerback Malcolm Butler (undisclosed) from Injured Reserve with an injury settlement on Thursday. Butler can now sign with another team and play in 2022.

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (hamstring) will have surgery on Friday, and the team hopes he'll be able to return at some point in December.

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 […]
