Jordan Thomas Working As No. 1 Tight End

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas is working as the team's No. 1 tight end in organized team activities.

Preston Williams Turning Heads

Tevin Coleman Lining Up At Receiver

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman said that he's been lining up some at wide receiver during offseason workouts.

Coleman figures to be the safest fantasy pick […]

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (ankle) will likely miss several weeks after going on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left ankle sprain, but manager Scott Servais said the injury wasn't as serious as initially feared.

Ravens Owner Thinks A Lot Of Chris Moore

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti thinks that wide receiver Chris Moore could be a "breakout candidate." At best, Moore would be the team's No. 2 wideout behind Willie Snead, but rookie Miles Boykin will have a say in that as well.

Good News For Eugenio Suarez
