Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receivers Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) will be incorporated into practice on Tuesday.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is an option to move to center field next year if A.J. Pollock departs in free agency, which is expected.

While Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will start in Week 8 in London against the Eagles after being benched in Week 7, backup Cody Kessler will receive practice repetitions with the first-team offense, according to a source.

Danny Amendola, Mike Gesicki Limited Monday

In an estimation of the injury report, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (shoulder) and rookie tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) would've both been limited in practice on Monday.

Boston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon, who served as starter Chris Sale's personal catcher for most of the year, will start behind the plate in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday. Leon is the much weaker bat than Christian Vazquez, as he hit just .177/.232/.279 with five home runs and 22 RBI in […]

Sony Michel Considered Week-To-Week

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel's (knee) MRI exam showed no structural damage, and he will be considered week-to-week, according to a source.

Amari Cooper Will Be Traded To Cowboys

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper will be traded to the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source. Cooper is coming off a concussion in Week 6 in London, but apparently he's fine.
