Jay Bruce Expected To Remain With Mariners

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jay Bruce, who was part of the trade that sent second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz to the Mets, said he's been told that he will stay with the Mariners entering spring training. Bruce is owed $26 million over the next two seasons, so the Mariners were believed to be […]

Kenley Jansen Rides Stationary Bike Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen (heart) posted a video on Twitter of him riding a stationary bike a week after undergoing heart surgery to treat his atrial fibrillation. It's the second heart procedure Jansen has had this year, but he's fully expected to be ready for spring training next year. The hard-throwing closer wasn't […]

Sam Darnold Trending Towards Playing In Week 14

While New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles has declined to say if rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) will return to face the Bills in Week 14, it is trending in that direction. Bowles said Darnold was healthy enough to play against the Titans in Week 13, but the team didn't want to throw him […]

Red Sox Likely To Have Interest In Kelvin Herrera

The Boston Red Sox may be in need of a closer next year if free-agent Craig Kimbrel doesn't return, and they could look to free-agent reliever Kelvin Herrera (foot). General manager Dave Dombrowski tried to trade for Herrera at the trade deadline last summer. Herrera tore the Lisfranc ligament in his left foot on Aug. […]

Patrick Corbin Could Make Decision Soon

Free-agent starting pitcher Patrick Corbin, the most attractive free-agent starter on the market this winter, is expected to make a decision on where he will sign soon. The Yankees, Phillies and Nationals are all serious about him and are considered the favorites to land the lefty. Whoever lands the 29-year-old will be getting one of […]

Dodgers Announce Extension For Dave Roberts

The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a four-year contract extension with manager Dave Roberts on Monday. It's well-deserved after he has guided the Blue to back-to-back World Series appearances. In his three seasons as the skipper in LA, Roberts has a record of 287-200. He made some head-scratching decisions in the World Series that wound […]

Jean Segura Waives No-Trade Clause

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura has waived his no-trade clause to go from the Mariners to the Phillies in a proposed trade that is expected to include first baseman Carlos Santana, according to a source.

Falcons Still Have Faith In Dan Quinn

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank hasn't "lost any faith" in head coach Dan Quinn or general manager Thomas Dimitroff after another loss to the Ravens in Week 13. Atlanta is currently 4-8 and in last place in the NFC South and well out of playoff contention. Their defense suffered multiple key injuries to their defensive […]

Panthers Shake Up Defensive Staff

The Carolina Panthers fired defensive line coach Brady Hoke and assistant secondary/cornerbacks coach Jeff Imamura on Monday after their Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers. Head coach Ron Rivera will take over the defensive play-calling duties to close out the season, while defensive coordinator Eric Washington will oversee the front seven. Carolina suffered the upset […]

Tyron Smith Has Good Chance To Play In Week 14

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said that there's a "good shot" that left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is able to play in Week 14 against the Eagles. Smith was active on Thanksgiving but didn't play at all and was then inactive last Thursday against the Saints. His return would be excellent news for quarterback […]

Chris Harris Jr. Won't Go On IR

Denver Broncos slot cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (leg), who fractured his fibula in Week 13, will not go on Injured Reserve, according to sources. The team plans to keep him on the roster in case he can return in the unlikely event that the team qualifies for the playoffs. Harris' injury is more of a […]

Eli Manning Still The Starter Heading To Week 14

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said "Eli's our starter" heading into Week 14 against the Redskins. There is a "good chance" that rookie Kyle Lauletta will once again serve as the backup to Eli Manning this week. Manning is clearly running on fumes at age 37 and looked bad again in Week 13 […]

James Conner's Injury Not Considered Serious

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (leg) right lower leg injury is not considered to be serious, and he's believed to be dealing with a lower leg contusion. It seems like Conner will be OK to play in Week 14 in an excellent matchup against the Raiders, but we'll have to see how much he […]

James Conner Limps Off Sunday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (leg) was injured in the fourth quarter of the Sunday night game against the Chargers and limped off with trainers. Conner was injured on a screen play in which the defender rolled up on his leg. It could be the dreaded high ankle sprain, but we'll have to wait […]

Phillies May Be Close To Landing Jean Segura

The Seattle Mariners are in serious talks with the Philadelphia Phillies that would send shortstop Jean Segura to the Phillies, according to sources. Segura would first need to waive his full no-trade clause for this trade to go through. The Mariners would likely receive shortstop J.P. Crawford as part of a package for Segura. The […]

Justin Hunter Injures Shoulder Sunday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Justin Hunter (shoulder) suffered an injury Sunday night against the Chargers and will not return. Hunter failed to reel in any of his three targets before his injury. With him out for the rest of the game and rookie James Washington a healthy scratch, Ryan Switzer will operate on three-receiver sets […]

Chiefs Likely To Sign C.J. Anderson

The Kansas City Chiefs will bring free-agent running back C.J. Anderson in for a workout on Monday and are likely to sign him if he passes a physical, according to a league source.

Chris Carson Suffers Dislocated Finger

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (finger) suffered a dislocated finger in the Week 13 win over the 49ers, but Carroll said Carson "should be OK." The good news is that Carson has an extra day to recover, with the team playing the Vikings in Week 14 on Monday […]

James Washington A Healthy Scratch Sunday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver James Washington is a healthy scratch for Sunday night against the Chargers. Offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (knee) is also out for this game. Washington has plenty of long-term upside, but he hasn't been a big part of the team's offense this year with only eight catches on 25 targets for […]

Tyrell Williams Active Against Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams (quadriceps) is active for Sunday night against the Steelers. Williams has been gutting out his injury for weeks and has caught just two passes on six targets for 22 yards in the last two weeks. He didn't have a single target in the Week 12 win over the […]

Packers Fire Mike McCarthy

The Green Bay Packers fired head coach Mike McCarthy after their 20-17 loss to the Cardinals in Week 13. Joe Philbin will serve as the interim head coach for the final four games of what has become a lost season for Green Bay. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has struggled mightily in recent weeks with a lack […]

Greg Olsen's Season Likely Over

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) has indicated that his season is over after suffering another foot injury in the Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers. Olsen was on crutches after the game and the 33-year-old could've played his last snap in the NFL as a result. Foot injuries derailed his last two seasons, […]

Blue Jays Interested In Dallas Keuchel

The Toronto Blue Jays have interest in free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel. The left-hander won a Cy Young in 2015 and went 12-11 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 6.7 K/9 across 34 starts for the Astros in 2018. He doesn't throw very hard and isn't a strikeout artist, so a move to hitter-friendly […]

Howie Kendrick On Schedule In Rehab

Washington Nationals second baseman Howie Kendrick (Achilles) said he has started running and is on schedule in his rehab from a ruptured Achilles last season. He expects to be ready for the start of spring training but knows he still has several hurdles to clear before then. The 35-year-old is a nice utility guy to […]

Denzel Ward Injured Against Texans

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) was ruled out in Week 13 after suffering a concussion early in the game against the Texans. Ward has been one of the team's best defensive weapons this year and has had a nose for the football. His absence was felt as the Texans rolled in this game, […]

Chris Harris Jr. Suffers Broken Leg

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (leg) suffered a broken fibula in the Week 13 win over the Bengals and will miss the rest of the season. The slot corner exited early in the game, but the Broncos secondary didn't really miss a beat against an equally banged up Cincinnati unit. Denver's secondary was already […]

Greg Olsen Re-Injures Foot

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) re-injured his foot in the Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers early in the game and was ruled out. Olsen missed most of last season and several weeks earlier this year with a foot injury, so this doesn't look good. We'd expect Olsen to be out at least […]

A.J. Green Carted Off On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) re-injured his foot in Week 13 against the Broncos and was carted off to the locker room. Green had just one catch for seven yards before being injured and had his head in his hands as he was being carted off. It was his first game action since […]

Rex Burkhead Active Against Vikings

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (neck) is active in Week 13 against the Vikings for the first time since Week 3. Burkhead was activated from Injured Reserve this week and will factor into the backfield behind rookie Sony Michel and James White. While Burkhead isn't expected to see many snaps in his first […]
