Tyler Lockett To Move Around This Year

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said that wide receiver Tyler Lockett will be moved around a lot this year. With Doug Baldwin retired, the 26-year-old will be Seattle's unquestioned No. 1 wideout in 2019. That'll give him the chance to top his career highs across the board last year in receptions (57), yards (965) […]

Brice Butler, Ricardo Louis Injured

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brice Butler (leg) left practice with what appeared to be a leg injury on Tuesday. The Dolphins also previously lost receiver Ricardo Louis (knee) for the season due to a knee injury this offseason. Butler has been competing with undrafted rookies Preston Williams and Trenton Irwin, Isaiah Ford and Reece Horn […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Has Outplayed Josh Rosen

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been better than Josh Rosen so far in offseason workouts. Fitzpatrick continues to take the first snaps with the first-team offense in team drills. Fitz was far from perfect in practice on Tuesday, but he didn't make any foolish throws that were intercepted, which couldn't be said for Rosen. […]

The San Francisco Giants placed catcher Buster Posey (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain on Wednesday and activated reliever Trevor Gott from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Rookie Davis will start on Friday against the Brewers, while Nick Kingham will be moved to the bullpen.

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams is skipping mandatory minicamp this week because he wants a new deal, according to a source.

Marqise Lee To Be Sidelined Into Training Camp

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers coach Keenan McCardell said wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) will be sidelined a few weeks into training camp as he recovers from his ACL injury last year. The 27-year-old missed all of the 2018 season and has never had a 1,000-yard receiving campaign in his four NFL seasons. If healthy, he […]

Jordan Howard Being Used In Passing Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard likes the way he's fit into head coach Doug Pederson's offense and said that it's exciting that the team is using him in the passing game. The Bears viewed him as one-dimensional, while the Eagles don't. Howard struggled with dropped passes early in his career, but he caught all […]

Andrew Luck Still Dealing With Calf Injury

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (calf) is out of organized team activities for a third straight week with a calf strain. The Colts are likely just being extremely cautious with their franchise quarterback. We expect Luck to be fully healthy for training camp after having a huge bounce-back season in 2018 as one of the […]

Todd Gurley's Days Of Being A Bell-Cow Over?

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley's (knee) days of being a bell-cow running back may be over due to concerns about his left knee. Gurley has been held out of on-field team practices this offseason for a "planned training program" and is trying to shed half a dozen pounds in an attempt to lighten […]

Robinson Cano Activated, Hitting Third Wednesday

The New York Mets activated second baseman Robinson Cano (quadriceps) from the injured list on Wednesday, and he will hit third against Giants starting pitcher Tyler Beede.

Zack Greinke Pushed Back To Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that starting pitcher Zack Greinke (neck) will have his next start pushed back from Friday to Saturday against the Blue Jays to give him an extra day to deal with neck stiffness he experienced on Saturday against the Mets. Greinke uncharacteristically gave up four earned runs in four innings […]

Damon Harrison Won't Attend Mandatory Minicamp

Detroit Lions defensive end Damon Harrison will not show up to mandatory minicamp this week, according to a source. Harrison also missed voluntary organized team activities as he seeks a new deal. He'll be fined for each day he doesn't show up to mandatory minicamp. The 30-year-old improved the Lions rush defense last year after […]

Darius Slay Not Attending Mandatory Minicamp

Detroit Lions Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay said that he will not attend the team's mandatory minicamp this week.

He has two years left on the four-year extension he […]

Eagles Expecting Big Things From Carson Wentz

The Philadelphia Eagles and head coach Doug Pederson are thrilled with the progress quarterback Carson Wentz has made this offseason and are expecting big things from him in 2019. Wentz has finished both of the last two seasons on Injured Reserve, which makes fantasy owners hesitant to take on that injury risk with him as […]

Leighton Vander Esch To Practice This Week

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (pelvis) is expected to go through limited work for the first time this week at the team's final week of organized team activities. A pelvic issue has limited him to rehab work on the side so far. The 23-year-old second-year linebacker should be just fine for training camp and […]

A.J. Pollock Expected To Need 40-50 Rehab At-Bats

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder A.J. Pollock (elbow) would likely need 40 or 50 at-bats in a rehab setting once he has his antibiotic catheter removed from his left arm. Pollock is still at least a few weeks away from a return, and possibly longer. The 31-year-old should return to regular […]

Boston Scott A Potential Replacement For Darren Sproles

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson mentioned running back Boston Scott as a Darren Sproles replacement because of his skill set.

Eagles Optimistic Mack Hollins Will Be Ready For Training Camp

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is optimistic that wide receiver Mack Hollins (hernia) will be ready to practice for the start of training camp in late July. He remains out of mandatory minicamp 16 months after having sports hernia surgery, and he was working out on a side field on Monday. The third-year wideout […]

Miles Sanders Still Absent From Practice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) continues to sit out of practice at mandatory minicamp. The second-round back figures to see a lot of playing time in his rookie season alongside Jordan Howard, but he's losing valuable practice time with the first-team offense and could get off to a slow start as a […]

Steelers To Spread The Ball Around In 2019

With Antonio Brown now in Oakland, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense will look a lot different in 2019. JuJu Smith-Schuster will be the team's No. 1 wideout and will be targeted often by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but behind him there are inexperienced yet intriguing options. The team thinks they have at least nine viable pass-catching options […]

Jimmy Graham Wants To Be Better In Red Zone

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham wants to improve in the red zone after scoring just twice in his first season with the team in 2018. "Obviously there was a lot going on last year for all of us in the building. But all that's in the past. I know the player that I […]

Justin Turner Back In Lineup Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday and is hitting third against Diamondbacks starting pitcher Jon Duplantier.

Dawson Knox Impressing Early On

Buffalo Bills rookie tight end Dawson Knox, a third-round pick, impressed with his speed and athleticism in rookie workouts and organized team activities.

Vic Beasley Will Attend Mandatory Minicamp

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Vic Beasley said he will "definitely be there" when the team's mandatory minicamp gets underway in a couple of weeks.

Braves Not A Finalist For Craig Kimbrel

The Atlanta Braves are not among the finalists for free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel, according to a source. As of right now, the Cubs and Twins appear to be the favorites to land him. Kimbrel is reportedly still seeking a multi-year deal, so the price may be too high for the Braves to stomach. They could […]

Mario Addison Drops Weight

Carolina Panthers defensive end Mario Addison weighs 255 pounds this year due to better eating habits after weighing 265 pounds in 2018. With Carolina moving to a hybrid defense that will feature more 3-4 in 2019, Addison may be asked to drop back in coverage more often. Addison is very athletic, but dropping into coverage […]

Matt Beaty Lands On Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed infielder/outfielder Matt Beaty (hip) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left hip flexor strain and recalled outfielder Kyle Garlick from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Beaty was hitting .286 (12-for-42) with no homers and seven RBI in a utility role for the Dodgers. He probably […]

Andy Dalton Admires Drew Sample

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has been impressed with rookie tight end Drew Sample so far in offseason workouts. "He’s picked up on things quickly," said Dalton. "He’s what you want in a tight end. 'Polished,' is a good word for him." Sample was the best blocking tight end in the draft, but pass-catching isn't […]
