Carson Wentz Could Sign Big Deal Before Season

The Philadelphia Eagles could lock quarterback Carson Wentz up to a big long-term extension before training camp.

Executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman said in March that "having Carson here long term is our goal" and […]

Devin Funchess, Parris Campbell Impressing At OTAs

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Devin Funchess and Parris Campbell have been impressing during organized team activities this week. Funchess caught everything thrown his way on Tuesday. Campbell, a second-round pick, didn't look like a rookie in his first full team practice. He showed off his speed by running routes all over the field. Campbell also […]

Deon Cain Likely Out Until Training Camp

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Deon Cain (knee) is progressing well from a torn ACL suffered during the first preseason game last year, but he's expected to be brought back in training camp. However, general manager Chris Ballard doesn't expect Cain to be 100 percent until around midway through the regular season. Cain will face an […]

Jack Doyle Progressing Nicely

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip) is progressing well from offseason hip surgery and is still expected to be ready for training camp. He initially suffered the hip injury in Week 2 and missed the next five games. Doyle then "took a pretty big hit" to his kidney in Week 12 and required season-ending […]

T.Y. Hilton Practicing At OTAs

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. It's a bit of a surprise, as he was expected to be brought along slowly after suffering a low and high ankle sprain in Week 14 of last year. He still managed to catch 32 passes for 628 yards and a […]

Eric Ebron Sitting Out OTAs

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (groin), who underwent surgery on his groin in April, is sitting out of organized team activities this week.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) is unlikely to be involved in on-field activities until training camp after having a minor procedure on his ankle recently that will keep him out roughly six weeks.

Andrew Luck Dealing With Calf Strain

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (calf) didn't take part in organized team activities on Tuesday due to a calf strain.

Aaron Rodgers Studying New Offense

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is trying to reach a comfort level with new head coach Matt LaFleur's offense by the time organized team activities and the mid-June minicamp are finished. "I’d like to think I might be a half step ahead with my ability to recall things and learn things quickly, but I […]

Edinson Volquez Playing Catch

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Edinson Volquez (elbow) is playing catch on Wednesday for the first time since April. Manager Chris Woodward said that Volquez could be a nice addition to the bullpen later this year. The 35-year-old right-hander doesn't have much left in the tank in his career. He had a 7.04 ERA, 2.35 WHIP […]

San Diego Padres infielder Greg Garcia and outfielder Manuel Margot are taking over for second baseman Ian Kinsler and outfielder Hunter Renfroe, respectively, on Wednesday.

Blake Swihart is starting in left field and batting eighth, while Ildemaro Vargas is at second base and hitting leadoff against Padres left-handed starter Eric Lauer. Hopefully Peralta will be ready […]

DaeSean Hamilton Building Chemistry With Joe Flacco

Denver Broncos second-year wide receiver Daesean Hamilton said he is building chemistry with quarterback Joe Flacco during organized team activities. "We’re getting all the reps together and building that chemistry. Working with Joe so far has been great. Throughout training camp and OTAs, he’s had great command of the offense and is putting us in […]

Courtland Sutton Aiming To Improve In Red Zone

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is aiming to improve in the red zone heading into his second NFL season. Last year, 176 players had more than Sutton's two red-zone catches (both touchdowns) and 80 wideouts had more than his eight targets inside the 20. “Personally in the red zone, I think I’m one of […]

Leighton Vander Esch Held Out Of OTAs

Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (pelvis) is being held out of organized team activities this week due to a pelvic injury. It's likely nothing serious and the Cowboys are holding him out as a precaution. The 23-year-old proved in his rookie season that he needs to be on the field more often, […]

Panthers Optimistic Cam Newton Will Be Ready For Camp

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that there is still no timetable on quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder), but he is "very optimistic" that Newton will be ready by training camp.

Greg Olsen Cleared For OTAs

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) said he's been cleared for everything and moved around well during organized team activities on Wednesday. The aging Olsen missed seven games in 2018 and ended on Injured Reserve. He's missed 16 games the last two seasons, but he has the potential to be one of the better […]

Ryan Braun's Knee Acting Up

Updating a previous report, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (knee) is getting a rest day on Wednesday because his knee has been acting up for the last four to five days, according to manager Craig Counsell. This shouldn't surprise anyone, as Braun often battles nagging ailments throughout the season. He's been very good when on […]

Khris Davis Not Going On Injured List Yet

The Oakland Athletics will try to get through Friday without outfielder Khris Davis (hip, oblique) before making a decision on whether to place him on the injured list. The want to see if two days off help him and also want to see his MRI results. We'd be surprised if Davis avoids the injured list […]

Tim Beckham Out Of Lineup

Seattle Mariners shortstop Tim Beckham is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Dylan Moore, fresh off the injured list, is starting at third base and is hitting seventh against Rangers starting pitcher Jesse Chavez. Even though he'll face some nice pitching matchups in this one, Moore just doesn't excite fantasy owners in any format. […]

Billy Hamilton Riding The Bench

Kansas City Royals outfielder Billy Hamilton is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Hamilton now has a line of .226/.302/.290 with no homers, five RBI and nine stolen bases. If infield prospect Nicky Lopez continues to hold his own at second base, Whit Merrifield will likely continue to play center field and leave Hamilton […]

Ryan Braun Out Against Reds

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is taking the day off on Wednesday. Ben Gamel will start in left field and bat sixth against Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo. Gamel has been very solid for the Brew Crew in his 110 at-bats so far this year, slashing .273/.352/.382 with two home runs, 17 runs and 11 […]

Stephen Piscotty Getting A Day Off

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Chad Pinder is starting in right field in his place and will hit seventh against Indians starting pitcher Jefry Rodriguez. Pinder will be a sneaky DFS choice on Wednesday. He's hitting a solid .270/.311/.459 with five home runs, 19 runs scored and […]

Bradley Zimmer Close To Rehab Assignment

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said that outfielder Bradley Zimmer (shoulder) will stay in Arizona at extended spring training for five or six more days before starting a rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus. The 26-year-old has been out all year after having offseason shoulder surgery, but he should be an outfield regular in Cleveland when […]

Yasiel Puig Remains Out Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday. Jesse Winker slides over to right field and will hit cleanup, while Josh VanMeter is in left field and is hitting seventh against Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies. Puig is dealing with a shoulder strain but could return any day now. […]

Roberto Perez Has Mild Concussion

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez (head) was diagnosed with a "mild concussion" after he left the game early on Tuesday with a head injury, according to manager Terry Francona. Perez took a foul ball off his mask in the third inning. Francona said the team will bring up catcher Eric Haase from Triple-A Columbus, but […]

Kyle Seager Should Return Saturday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (hand) went 2-for-4 with a walk and three RBI for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday and is hitting .281 on his rehab assignment. He should come off the injured list on Saturday and make his season debut. It's actually perfect timing for the M's, as Ryon Healy just landed on […]

Hot Prospects To Watch - Alvarez, Tucker, Gallen, White And More

Unlike last week, we haven't had the pleasure of seeing several high-profile prospects called up to make their big league debuts. At least not yet... Who else on the farm might be worth stashing in deeper fantasy formats in hopes that they'll be called up this year? Let's take a look at some hot prospects […]

Kevan Smith In Concussion Protocol

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Angels catcher Kevan Smith (head) is in the concussion protocol after leaving the game early on Tuesday with a foul tip to his mask, according to manager Brad Ausmus. There's a chance he'll need to go on the seven-day concussion injured list as a result. The 30-year-old is hitting […]
