Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Andrew Friedman said that the team plans to complete a long-term contract extension for manager Dave Roberts.

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus will not use his opt-out clause in his contract and leave behind the four years and $58 million left on his current deal.

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur gave quarterback Eli Manning another vote of confidence after the Week 8 loss to the Redskins to drop the team to 1-7. “At this point Eli’s our quarterback and we’re looking at all areas to improve," Shurmur said.

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said he's confident that the team will not trade wide receiver Devante Parker.

Ryan Tannehill Resumes Throwing

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has resumed throwing. "It's just a question of how much power he can put behind the ball," Gase said.

Keke Coutee Up In The Air For Week 9

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that it's too early to know whether rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will be able to play in Week 9 against the Broncos.

Rob Gronkowski Expected To Play Monday Night

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (back), who is questionable for Monday night, is expected to play against the Bills, according to a source.

The Cleveland Browns fired offensive coordinator Todd Haley on Monday, according to a source. There was a report over the weekend that Haley and head coach Hue Jackson were butting heads on the offensive play-calling and that a change could be imminent.

Browns Fire Hue Jackson

The Cleveland Browns fired head coach Hue Jackson on Monday, according to a source. While the Browns have won three games this year, they continue to disappoint with more talent in 2018.

Hue Jackson Pumps Breaks On Coaching Changes

Despite another loss and mediocre offensive showing, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson shot down reports that offensive coordinator Todd Haley's job is in jeopardy.

Xavier Rhodes Inactive Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes (foot) is inactive for Sunday night against the Saints.

LeSean McCoy Clears Concussion Protocol

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol and is expected to play on Monday against the Patriots despite being questionable.

Carl Lawson Suffers Torn ACL

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carl Lawson (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 against the Buccaneers and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source.

Jameis Winston Benched Against Bengals

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was benched in the second half in Week 8 against the Bengals after going 18-for-35 for 275 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions, including a pick-six.

Ronald Jones II Injured Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) left the game early in Week 8 against the Bengals and has been ruled out.

Jermaine Gresham, Phil Dawson Active Sunday

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (heel) and kicker Phil Dawson (hip) are both active for Week 8 against the 49ers.

Matt Breida, Richard Sherman Active For Week 8

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) are both active for Week 8 against the Cardinals. Breida will be active but could be third in snaps behind Raheem Mostert and Alfred Morris, making him a much too risky fantasy option despite the excellent matchup. Sherman's presence is good news […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle), tight end Jack Doyle (hip) and kicker Adam Vinatieri (groin) are all active for Week 8 against the Raiders.
