Raiders Signing Daniel Carlson

The Oakland Raiders signed free-agent kicker Daniel Carlson on Tuesday, according to a source. They are moving on from Matthew McCrane. Carlson was drafted in the fifth round by the Vikings this year before being cut after going 1-for-4 on field-goal tries in the first two games of his career. With Oakland's offense sputtering and […]

Derek Barnett Done For The Season

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett (shoulder) is having season-ending shoulder surgery on Tuesday, according to a source. The former first-round pick had 17 tackles and 2.5 sacks on the season, so his loss is a blow to the Eagles defensive line moving forward. However, their defense/special teams will remain a strong play in Week […]

John Ross To Miss A Few Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (groin) is expected to miss a few weeks after aggravating his groin injury in Week 7, according to a source.

Rays Working To Sign Sandy Gaston

The Tampa Bay Rays are working to sign Cuban free-agent 16-year-old pitcher Sandy Gaston, and some reports have an agreement pending on a $2.6 million deal. Nothing has been finalized yet.

Scott Alexander Added To World Series Roster

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander has been added to the World Series roster in favor of Caleb Ferguson.

Alexander, another lefty, had a […]

Drew Pomeranz Gets Nod Over Steven Wright

Boston Red Sox pitcher Drew Pomeranz has been added to the World Series roster over Steven Wright (knee). Reliever Brandon Workman has been removed from the roster as a result.

Donnel Pumphrey Added To Active Roster

The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Donnel Pumphrey to their active roster on Tuesday. A fourth-round pick out of San Diego State last year, Pumphrey has yet to play in a regular season game.

Saints Acquire Eli Apple

The New Orleans Saints acquired cornerback Eli Apple from the New York Giants on Tuesday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2019 and a seventh-round pick in 2020, according to a source. Apple hasn't played that well in 2018, but it's a small upgrade for a Saints secondary that could use some help. New […]

Frank Clark Willing To Wait For Deal

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark and his agent, Erik Burkhardt, are willing to wait as he tries to secure a long-term deal as one of the league's highest paid pass rushers, even if it means playing on the franchise tag next year. "Just to do an early deal for the sake of doing an […]

Chad Kelly Charged With Criminal Trespassing

Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly was charged with first-degree criminal trespassing. This doesn't look good for the backup who the Broncos wanted to see some playing time in the second half of this season. Kelly was the final pick of the 2017 draft and also had some off-field issues while in college. It's unclear […]

Jets Sign Rishard Matthews

The New York Jets are signing free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews on Tuesday, according to a source.

There is opportunity in New York with Quincy Enunwa (ankle) out a […]

Elijah McGuire Designated To Return From IR

New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire (foot) returned to practice last week and has been designated as one of the team's players to return from Injured Reserve.

Derek Carr Losing The Locker Room?

There have been rumblings that Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a "fractured relationship" with his teammates and has lost the locker room following his poor play to begin the year. "The belief in him has deteriorated, perhaps to irreparable levels," Thompson writes. "It’s hard to see how Carr can lead this team again." There […]

Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison To Practice Tuesday

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. While they might not be full participants, it's a good sign after they were both close to playing before the Week 7 bye. We'd expect them both to play in […]

Ketel Marte Is An Option To Play Center Field

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. In that scenario, Marte moving to the outfield would open up second base duties on a daily basis for Eduardo Escobar, who signed a three-year deal on Monday. Marte […]

Seung Hwan Oh Expected To Pitch For Rockies In 2019

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh is expected to pitch for the team in 2019, according to general manager Jeff Bridich.

Rangers Not Expected To Give Qualifying Offer To Adrian Beltre

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre has yet to make a decision on retirement, but general manager Jon Daniels said he doesn't expect to offer the veteran a qualifying offer after the World Series. However, if Beltre decides to come back for another year, the Rangers will work out the right contract. Beltre spent multiple […]

Diamondbacks Re-Sign Eduardo Escobar To Three-Year Deal

The Arizona Diamondbacks re-signed infielder Eduardo Escobar to a three-year, $21 million deal on Monday. The 29-year-old was acquired by Arizona in July and helped fill in at third base for the injured Jake Lamb, hitting .268/.327/.444 in 54 games. Lamb is expected to be healthy for spring training, but Escobar also gives the team […]

Matt Kemp To Serve As DH In Game 1 Of World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Matt Kemp will serve as the designated hitter in Game 1 of the World Series against Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu will start Game 2 of the World Series against the Red Sox on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Patrick Peterson Prefers To Go To Saints

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who has demanded a trade before the Oct. 30 deadline, would prefer to go to the Saints. Peterson played his college ball at Louisiana State University.

Cowboys Release Brice Butler

The Dallas Cowboys released wide receiver Brice Butler on Monday in order to make room on the roster after they acquired Amari Cooper from the Raiders for a first-round pick. Butler missed his only target this year for Dallas in just two games. Cooper will immediately become the team's No. 1 wideout, but he'll have […]

Ed Dickson Has Chance To Play Significant Snaps In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said tight end Ed Dickson (groin) has been working hard leading up to this week and should have a chance to play quite a bit in Week 8 against the Lions if he gets through his practice work this week. Dickson has been on the Non-Football Injury list all […]

Jaguars Release Jamaal Charles

The Jacksonville Jaguars released running back Jamaal Charles on Monday after he had only six carries in two games. With the team acquiring Carlos Hyde last Friday, there's no need for Charles on the roster with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) likely sidelined through the team's Week 9 bye.

Steven Wright Expected To Join World Series Roster

Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (knee) is expected to be added to the team's World Series roster on Tuesday morning. He will replace either Heath Hembree or Brandon Workman in the bullpen. Wright had reconstructive knee surgery last year and was still bothered by knee issues in 2018, so he'll need offseason surgery once […]

Cody Kessler To See First-Team Practice Reps

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. If Bortles struggles early again in London, the team could turn to Kessler again. Bortles has earned the […]

Derek Anderson Named Starter For Week 8

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced that quarterback Derek Anderson will start in Week 8 against the Patriots on Monday night with rookie Josh Allen (elbow) set to miss another week.

DaeSean Hamilton Has Sprained MCL

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Daesean Hamilton (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain after being injured in the Week 7 game against the Cardinals last Thursday. Hamilton has been serving as a punt returner and No. 4 wideout behind Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and rookie Courtland Sutton, so he doesn't have any immediate fantasy […]
