Thomas Rawls Doesn't Make Final Roster
The New York Jets cut running back Thomas Rawls on Saturday, according to a source. The move was expected, as Rawls was hurt most of the summer. Gang Greene will go with Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell, rookie Trenton Cannon and Elijah McGuire in their backfield to kick off the regular season.

Leonte Carroo Joins Practice Squad
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Leonte Carroo has joined the team's practice squad after being cut from the active roster, according to a source. Carroo has been a bust as a third-round pick in 2016, catching just 10 passes for 98 yards and one touchdown in his two seasons.

Ed Dickson Says He's Ready
Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) said that he's ready for Week 1 against the Broncos. It looks like he'll come off the Non-Football Injury list ahead of the season opener, but he'll likely be behind Nick Vannett as the main pass-catching tight end if he's active. Dickson can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Garrett Gilbert Released By Panthers
The Carolina Panthers cut backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert among many moves to trim their roster down to 53 players this weekend. Gilbert was the front-runner to be the backup to Cam Newton, but he lost out on the gig to Taylor Heinicke. Heinicke's experience in offensive coordinator Norv Turner's scheme in Minnesota likely gave him […]

Walker Buehler Undergoing X-Rays
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (foot) left the clubhouse on Sunday to have precautionary X-rays on his left foot. The injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but check back later for the results of his tests. The talented right-hander allowed just one run on two hits while striking out nine and walking […]

Broncos Cut Carlos Henderson
The Denver Broncos released wide receiver Carlos Henderson on Saturday, according to sources. The third-round pick last year, Henderson didn't play at all in his rookie season due to injury and hadn't reported to training camp because of personal issues. The writing was on the wall when the Broncos drafted rookies Courtland Sutton and Daesean […]

Roger Lewis Released By Giants
The New York Giants released wide receiver Roger Lewis on Saturday, according to a source. He was third on the team last year with 416 receiving yards and at times was the team's top wideout with Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard injured.

Evan Engram Expected To Play In Week 1
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (concussion) has made progress and is expected to play in Week 1 against the Jaguars, barring any setbacks. Engram should be good to go for the season opener, and fantasy owners will want to throw him into their lineups despite the tough matchup. There won't be as many […]

David Johnson Unlikely To Get New Deal Before Season
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson and the team are far apart in talks for a new deal and an extension isn't expected to happen before the season opener, according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora. Johnson is scheduled to make $1.88 million in base salary in the final year of his rookie deal. He […]

The New York Jets released running back Charcandrick West and place kicker Taylor Bertolet this weekend as they trimmed their final roster down to 53 players.

Markus Wheaton, Kamar Aiken Among Roster Casualties
The Philadelphia Eagles waived wide receivers Markus Wheaton and Kamar Aiken, quarterback Joe Callahan and running back Matt Jones as they trimmed their roster down to 53 players this weekend. It's a bit surprising that both Wheaton and Aiken were let go with Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) set to miss the first couple weeks of the […]

Tom Savage Doesn't Survive Final Cuts
The New Orleans Saints released quarterback Tom Savage this weekend after they traded for Teddy Bridgewater this week. The writing was on the wall for Savage once the team acquired Bridgewater. Taysom Hill will be the No. 3 behind Bridgewater and Drew Brees.

Browns Release Devon Cajuste
The Cleveland Browns released tight end Devon Cajuste on Sunday. Cajuste had been impressing in training camp and the preseason, so it's a minor surprise that he didn't make the final roster. The Browns will go with David Njoku, Darren Fells, Orson Charles and Seth DeValve.

Cardale Jones Waived
The Los Angeles Chargers waived quarterback Cardale Jones on Sunday. Jones lost out in the backup battle to Geno Smith during training camp and the preseason. The converted wide receiver remains fantasy irrelevant.

Kalil is eligible to return after Week 8. Meanwhile, right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) returned to practice on Sunday after dislocating his right patella and tearing […]

The Houston Texans re-signed quarterback Joe Webb on Sunday, according to his agent, David Canter. Webb will join Brandon Weeden as the backups to Deshaun Watson. Webb is completely off the fantasy radar.

Mike Gillislee To Sign With Saints
Free-agent running back Mike Gillislee will sign a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday after being cut by the Patriots on Saturday, according to a source. This move makes sense after the team also cut Jonathan Williams on Saturday. Mark Ingram will also serve a four-game suspension to open the year, so […]

Nelson Cruz Dealing With Bone Bruise
Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz (foot) is dealing with a bone bruise on his foot after fouling a ball off his foot on Saturday night, according to manager Scott Servais.

Andrew Triggs Likely To Begin Rehab Assignment This Week
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Andrew Triggs (arm) is likely to go on a rehab assignment with High-A Stockton this week. Triggs has been out since May 17 and had an ERA above 5.00 in his nine starts before his injury. The right-hander really won't be much of a fantasy option if he becomes an option […]

Brett Anderson To Throw Monday
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) might throw three innings off a mound on Monday. The left-hander might not miss a ton of time after being put on the disabled list last week. Anderson is 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 65 innings over 13 starts for the A's […]

Julio Urias Struggling In Minors
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias has had mixed results in the minors while recovering from left shoulder surgery last year.

Ross Stripling Eyeing Friday Return
The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Ross Stripling (back) are planning a return from the disabled list this Friday. He had an "up-and-down" two-inning bullpen session on Sunday and will throw a simulated game on Tuesday before coming off the DL on Friday. Stripling has been great for the Dodgers this year, going 8-3 […]

Marco Gonzales Could Rejoin Rotation Next Weekend
Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (neck) is progressing and could throw off a mound for a bullpen session on Monday. If he avoids setbacks, Gonzales could rejoin the rotation next weekend. The southpaw hurler has been decent overall but was terrible in August before his injury. Fantasy owners will probably […]

J.D. Martinez To Miss A Day Or Two
Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez will receive either a day or two off in the series in Atlanta against the Braves this week. With no designated hitter in a National League park, this is the perfect time to get Martinez some rest. Martinez has been a fantasy beast, hitting .335/.405/.647 with 39 long balls, […]

Ryan Rua Receives Injection
Texas Rangers outfielder Ryan Rua (back) received an anti-inflammatory injection on Friday to help relieve back stiffness. He was taken off his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Thursday when he suffered a setback. Rua may not be able to make it back at all again this year after his latest setback. He has hit […]
