Dontrelle Inman Being Released

The Washington Football Team is releasing wide receiver Dontrelle Inman on Saturday in order to activate rookie wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden off of Injured Reserve, according to a source.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (foot) has been downgraded to out after hobbling off early in Saturday's Week 16 game against the Buccaneers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers could be in play for free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer and second baseman DJ LeMahieu.

Whitney Mercilus Placed On COVID-19 List

The Houston Texans placed outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday.

Golden Tate Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (calf) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Ravens.

The 32-year-old has just […]
