Lil'Jordan Humphrey Doesn't Survive Roster Cuts

The New England Patriots released wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Tuesday, according to a source. However, he could re-sign to the team's practice squad.

The San Francisco 49ers decided to release veteran quarterback Nate Sudfeld and retain rookie Brock Purdy on the team's 53-man roster.

Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier will get the start against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Javier is rejoining the starting rotation with Justin Verlander (calf) going on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday.
