Steelers Plan To Use Running-Back-By-Committee

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said it's the team's "intention" to use a running-back-by-committee approach with James Conner (ankle) possibly out multiple weeks with what could be a high ankle sprain. That could very well be the case, but we would expect rookie Jaylen Samuels to see most of the work alongside Stevan Ridley […]

Noah Syndergaard Unlikely To Be Traded

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said the trade to acquire second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz makes it less likely that they will trade starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard, because the "chips are in" to win now.

The Cincinnati Reds are interested in trading for Cleveland Indians ace Corey Kluber or Trevor Bauer, according to sources. However, there hasn't been recent progress on a deal.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that wide receiver Ryan Switzer (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol, although the team is optimistic about him. Switzer has 29 catches on 35 targets for 223 yards and a touchdown and hasn't been that involved in the offense, but his absence will be felt much more […]

Darren Sproles Active For First Time Since Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles veteran running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) is active on Monday night against the Redskins for the first time since Week 1.

Trey Quinn Won't Play Against Eagles

Washington Redskins wide receiver/returner Trey Quinn (ankle) is inactive for Monday night against the Eagles.

Jordan Reed, Jamison Crowder Active On Monday

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (back) and wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) are both active on Monday night against the Eagles.

Joakim Soria Drawing Plenty Of Interest

Free-agent relief pitcher Joakim Soria is drawing interest from the Diamondbacks, Angels, Yankees, Braves and Reds, according to a source. The 34-year-old had a nice season between the White Sox and Brewers last season, sporting a 3.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 11.1 K/9 over 60 2/3 innings. Soria doesn't have much fantasy value unless he's […]

Carlos Santana, J.P. Crawford Heading To Seattle

The Seattle Mariners acquired first baseman Carlos Santana and shortstop J.P. Crawford from the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday in exchange for shortstop Jean Segura and relief pitchers Juan Nicasio and James Pazos. Seattle will look like a brand-new ball club in 2019.

Phillies Acquire Jean Segura From Seattle

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired shortstop Jean Segura and relief pitchers Juan Nicasio and James Pazos from the Seattle Mariners on Monday in exchange for first baseman Carlos Santana and shortstop J.P.

Josh Adams Good To Go For Monday Night

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Josh Adams (hip) got fist bumps from general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Doug Pederson after pregame warmups and is good to go for Monday night against the Redskins.

A.J. Green In Protective Boot

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) is in a protective boot on Monday after being carted off the field in the Week 13 loss to the Broncos.
