Gardner Minshew Lands On Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew (knee) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Doug Marrone said the team is being careful with Minshew's knee.

DeSean Jackson Won't Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will not practice on Wednesday.

Lorenzo Cain In Lineup Tuesday Against Nationals

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (ankle) is starting in center field and batting seventh on Tuesday against Nationals ace Max Scherzer in the National League wild-card game.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty didn't make the roster for the American League wild-card game on Wednesday against the Rays.

The Washington Nationals offered third baseman Anthony Rendon a seven-year deal worth between $210 million and $215 million in early September, according to The Washington Post's Barry Svrluga.
