Latavius Murray Questionable To Return Against Bears

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray (thigh) and cornerback Patrick Robinson (thigh) were both injured in the wild-card playoff game against the Bears on Sunday and are questionable to return in the fourth quarter.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (concussion), offensive tackle Jack Conklin (illness, knee), defensive end Myles Garrett (shoulder), defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson (neck) and offensive guard Wyatt Teller (ankle) are active for the wild-card game against the Steelers on Sunday night.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller was ejected from the wild-card playoff game against the Saints in the third quarter on Sunday after an altercation with New Orleans cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson.

Ronald Jones II's Status To Be Determined

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (quadriceps) couldn't get his leg loose before the wild-card win over the Washington Football Team on Saturday night, and swelling he sustained during pre-game warm-ups forced him to stay on the sidelines for the entire game.

Joc Pederson's Extreme Splits Complicate Free-Agent Case

Free-agent outfielder Joc Pederson is coming off a career-worst season in 2020 in 43 games, but he rebounded with a .991 OPS during the Dodgers World Series run in the postseason.

Phillies More Unlikely To Re-Sign J.T. Realmuto?

With every addition that the Mets and Braves make to their already strong rosters in the National League East, the thought of the Philadelphia Phillies making the postseason in the short term becomes less realistic, which in turn could make re-signing catcher J.T. Realmuto less likely. Realmuto will turn 30 years old in March and […]

George Springer Asking For $175 Million?

Free-agent outfielder George Springer is believed to be seeking around $175 million on the free-agent market.

Mitchell Trubisky Needs Long Playoff Run

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky isn't guaranteed to return as the team's starting quarterback in 2021, but that could change if he's able to pull a big upset over the Saints in the wild-card round on Sunday.

Terry Fontenot A Finalist For Atlanta's GM Opening

New Orleans Saints vice president/assistant general manager of pro personnel Terry Fontenot is one of "two or three finalists" for the Atlanta Falcons general manager job, according to league sources.

Chase Young Suffers Mild Ankle Sprain

Washington Football Team rookie pass-rusher Chase Young (ankle) suffered just a mild ankle sprain in the wild-card loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night and was limited late in the game.
