Emmanuel Sanders Injured In Wednesday's Practice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (leg) was injured in practice and had to be helped off the field. He wasn't putting any weight on his left leg, so this could be a serious injury. Sanders is in danger of missing a great Week 14 matchup with the 49ers and possibly longer. If that's the […]

Mets Unlikely To Trade Michael Conforto

The New York Mets are unlikely to include outfielder Michael Conforto in any deal for Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. The Mets seriously covet Realmuto, as do many other teams, but the Fish are believed to want Conforto more than Brandon Nimmo in a package. Conforto hit .243/.350/.448 with a career-high 28 home runs and 82 […]

Sammy Watkins To Return To Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) will return to practice on Wednesday after missing two of the last three games with a foot injury. That means he'll be on track to play in Week 14 in a tough matchup against a Ravens defense that is one of the best in the league. Even […]

Joe Flacco Limited Wednesday, Lamar Jackson Expected To Start

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) was moving around better at practice on Wednesday but is likely to be listed as limited. Rookie Lamar Jackson, who is 3-0 the last three weeks filling in for Flacco, is expected to make his fourth straight start against the Chiefs in Week 14. If it's not broke, why […]

The Washington Redskins placed wide receiver Trey Quinn (ankle), cornerback Quinton Dunbar (shin) and offensive guard Jonathan Cooper (biceps) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed quarterback Josh Johnson, center Demetrius Rhaney, guard Zac Kerin and defensive end Marcus Smith in corresponding moves.

DeSean Jackson Unlikely To Catch Passes Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is expected to run but is unlikely to catch passes in Wednesday's practice due to a thumb sprain. D-Jax sat out in Week 13 and is in danger of being shut down for the final four games of the season. Both Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries exploded […]

Duke Johnson Out For Personal Reasons

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson is not practicing on Wednesday for a personal reason.

Gus Edwards Expects To Play In Week 14

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Gus Edwards (ankle) said he's keeping up with treatment for his ankle and feels fine and will be ready for Week 14 against the Chiefs.

Landon Collins Going To IR

New York Giants safety Landon Collins (shoulder) will go on Injured Reserve and needs surgery for his shoulder injury, according to a source. His procedure will likely take place next week.

Trevor Cahill, A's Have Mutual Interest In Reunion

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Cahill said his agent has talked to the Oakland Athletics about re-signing. The team has interest in bringing him back as well as Edwin Jackson and possibly Brett Anderson. The right-hander has durability issues and hasn't made over 20 starts in a season since 2013 with the Diamondbacks, so he's more […]

Mets Considering Trading Brandon Nimmo

The New York Mets are considering using outfielder Brandon Nimmo as a centerpiece in a package to acquire Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. However, no trade is imminent between the two clubs. Realmuto is a hot trade commodity with other clubs aware that they will not sign him to a long-term extension. The best-hitting catcher […]

Phillies To Consider Dallas Keuchel

With the Philadelphia Phillies losing out on Patrick Corbin and while they still seek a left-handed starter, they will consider free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel. The American League Cy Young in 2015, Keuchel has fallen off a bit in recent seasons but remains a nice rotation piece to have for his ability to generate ground […]

Mets In Contact With A.J. Pollock

The New York Mets have been in contact with the agent for free-agent outfielder A.J. Pollock, and general manager Brodie Van Wagenen thinks Pollock is a good fit for their team.

Raiders Sign C.J. Anderson

The Oakland Raiders are signing free-agent running back C.J. Anderson on Tuesday, according to a source.

The Raiders are without Marshawn Lynch for the rest of the […]

A.J. Derby Placed On Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins placed tight end A.J. Derby (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and claimed cornerback Dee Delaney in a corresponding move. Derby had just three catches on five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in three games for Miami in 2018 as the backup tight end. Rookie Mike Gesicki will continue to […]

Phillies Discussing Madison Bumgarner

The Philadelphia Phillies have spoken to the San Francisco Giants about trading for starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner. The Phils have a greater need for a left-handed starter after losing out on Patrick Corbin. The Brewers are another possible destination for MadBum. While the southpaw is a postseason legend and remains a strong starter, he'll be […]

Braves Not Serious Suitors For J.T. Realmuto

The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins have not had serious trade discussions regarding catcher J.T. Realmuto this winter. The Braves have already signed Tyler Flowers to an extension and brought in veteran Brian McCann in free agency. The Braves have been under the impression that the Marlins would like to trade Realmuto out of the […]

Mets Continue To Talk About J.T. Realmuto

The New York Mets continue to discuss a trade for Miami Marlins All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto and made contact again on Tuesday, according to sources. While the Marlins are highly unlikely to reach a contract extension with Realmuto at this point, they will request a ton in return for Realmuto, who has developed into the […]

Robinson Cano Had Knee Surgery After Season

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (knee) underwent arthroscopic right knee surgery after the 2018 season and had it performed by Mets doctor David Altchek, according to major league sources.

Redskins Hoping To Add Josh Johnson As Backup

The Washington Redskins are hoping to sign free-agent quarterback Josh Johnson despite working out Landry Jones and Ryan Mallett on Tuesday, according to a source.

Astros Officially Agree With Robinson Chirinos

Updating a previous report, the Houston Astros officially agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent catcher Robinson Chirinos on Monday, pending a physical.

Malcolm Brown Out For Rest Of Regular Season

Los Angeles Rams backup running back Malcolm Brown (clavicle) is out for the rest of the regular season after having surgery on Monday, according to sources. Head coach Sean McVay called it a "huge loss." Brown could be available in the playoffs, but it's not a sure thing. Justin Davis and rookie John Kelly will […]

Bills Release Kelvin Benjamin, Andre Holmes

The Buffalo Bills released wide receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes on Tuesday, according to sources. Benjamin just hasn't worked out for Buffalo and lacked effort for most of the season, catching only 23 passes on 62 targets for 354 yards and one touchdown this year. The former first-round pick of the Panthers has been […]

Yankees Shifting Focus To Nathan Eovaldi, J.A. Happ

After losing out on Patrick Corbin, the New York Yankees are shifting their focus to free-agent starting pitchers Nathan Eovaldi and J.A. Happ, according to sources. Both Eovaldi and Happ excelled with their new clubs after midseason trades in 2018. Eovaldi is younger, throws harder and has more upside, but Happ already has recent success […]

Michael Fulmer's Knee Injury More Serious

In addition to his meniscus being shaved down, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (knee) also needed a modified microfracture technique on the bone in his right knee. “I don’t want people thinking I had microfracture surgery, because it wasn’t that bad,” Fulmer said. “They made some bone abrasions on the lateral side to draw […]

Astros Close To Landing Robinson Chirinos

The Houston Astros are making significant progress toward a deal with free-agent catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to sources. A deal could already be in place, pending a physical.

Nationals Sign Patrick Corbin

The Washington Nationals have agreed to terms with free-agent starting pitcher Patrick Corbin on a deal expected to be for six years and over $125 million, according to a person familiar with the situation.
