Mets Agree With Dellin Betances

The New York Mets agreed to a one-year deal with relief pitcher Dellin Betances on Tuesday, according to sources. The deal includes two player options.

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed quarterback Mason Rudolph (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, ending his season.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) will practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

D.J. Moore Not Seen At Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Tuesday, and it's looking like he won't play in Week 17 against the Saints after entering the concussion protocol last Sunday.

James Conner's Status In Question For Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (quadriceps) availability for Week 17 against the Ravens is "very much in question," according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

White Sox Serious About Edwin Encarnacion

The Chicago White Sox are in serious pursuit of first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion, although nothing is likely to be completed until after the holidays. Encarnacion, 37 in January, would be Chicago's full-time designated hitter if he lands with them, while occasionally spelling Jose Abreu at first base. It'd be a good setup for the […]

Dolphins Sign Samaje Perine

The Miami Dolphins signed running back Samaje Perine off the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad on Monday, according to a source. A former starter with the Redskins, Perine will join Miami this week and will be part of the team in 2020. Rookie Myles Gaskin (ankle) will miss Week 17, so Perine could chip in alongside […]

Steelers Optimistic About Ben Roethlisberger's Recovery

The Pittsburgh Steelers are optimistic that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will recover from elbow surgery to reattach three tendons in his right arm. Big Ben isn't cleared to throw yet, but he is recovering nicely and wants and expects to play in 2020 and beyond, according to sources. Roethlisberger, who will be 38 in March, […]

Seahawks To Sign Robert Turbin, Marshawn Lynch May Be Next

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to sign running back Robert Turbin and are still working on a deal to add Marshawn Lynch, according to sources.

Leighton Vander Esch To Undergo Procedure

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) will undergo a minimally invasive procedure on his neck in the next few weeks, and he should be cleared for the offseason program, according to sources.

The Philadelphia Eagles will get running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) back in Week 17 against the Giants. As a result, the Eagles are releasing running back Jay Ajayi, according to a source.

Derrick Henry Expected To Return In Week 17

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 17 against the Texans, and he'll be as healthy as he's been in a long time for the must-win game.

Josh Jacobs Has A Chance To Play In Week 17

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) has a chance to play in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Broncos.

Myles Gaskin Not Expected To Play In Week 17

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that rookie running back Myles Gaskin (ankle) isn't expected to play in the Week 17 season finale against the Patriots. With nothing to play for in Miami, it makes sense to rest the 2019 seventh-round pick. Gaskin will finish with just 36 carries for 133 yards (3.7 yards […]

Dwayne Haskins To Miss Regular Season Finale

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins (ankle) will miss the Week 17 game against the Cowboys after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 16 against the Giants.

Lamar Jackson, Others Won't Play In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that quarterback Lamar Jackson, safety Early Thomas, right guard Marshal Yanda and defensive tackle Brandon Williams won't play in Week 17 against the Steelers.

Texans Don't Plan To Rest Starters In Week 17

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said he has no plans to rest players in the Week 17 finale against the Titans despite likely being the AFC's No. 4 seed for the playoffs.

Chris Carson Officially Out For Season

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) suffered a fractured hip in Week 16 and is out for the season. It's a particularly crushing blow for Seattle after they also lost C.J.

Ronald Darby To Miss Time

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby (hip) will miss time with a hip flexor injury, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Rasul Douglas will move into a starting role as a result. It's unknown how much time Darby will miss, but it comes at a bad time as the Eagles can clinch the AFC East with […]

A.J. Green Going On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals will place wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Monday. This is a move that's been long overdue, as the veteran wideout hasn't played a single game for Cincinnati in 2019. He likely won't be back in 2020 either. With better health and a change of scenery, Green could rebound, […]

Mason Rudolph Expected To Miss Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (shoulder) is expected to miss the Week 17 game against the Ravens due to his left shoulder injury, according to league sources.

Corey Davis, Kalif Raymond In Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans wide receivers Corey Davis (concussion) and Kalif Raymond (concussion) are in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
