San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard (wrist, thumb) missed practice on Tuesday and will likely be a game-time decision on Thursday against the Raiders.

Chicago Bears offensive guard Kyle Long (foot) will be out for six to eight weeks after suffering a serious foot injury in the Week 8 win over the Jets, according to sources.

Mike Moustakas, Joakim Soria Become Free Agents

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas and relief pitcher Joakim Soria both declined their 2019 mutual options and will become free agents. Moose found a very cold market for his services last winter despite hitting a career-high 38 bombs in 2017, so he may struggle for takers again this year despite hitting .251/.315/.459 with 28 […]

Chargers Cut Michael Badgley

The Los Angeles Chargers waived kicker Michael Badgley on Tuesday. Caleb Sturgis (quadriceps) missed two games but looks to be ready to return after the team's bye week.

Jason Hammel Becomes Free Agent

The Kansas City Royals declined their $12 million 2019 option on starting pitcher Jason Hammel on Tuesday, making him a free agent. Hammel was pretty bad all around in 2018, going 4-14 with a 6.02 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 6.5 K/9 over 39 outings (18 starts) for the Royals. The veteran right-hander shouldn't be drafted […]

C.J. Beathard Could Miss Thursday's Game

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said quarterback C.J. Beathard (wrist) is struggling to hold the ball and could be forced to miss the game on Thursday against the Raiders.

Rams Acquiring Dante Fowler

The Los Angeles Rams acquired defensive end Dante Fowler from the Jaguars on Tuesday, according to a source. Fowler was the third overall pick in the 2015 draft, but he's been mostly a bust for the Jags and has become a rotational pass-rusher. The Rams have more of a need for him, however, and Fowler […]

The Detroit Lions restructured wide receiver Marvin Jones' contract on Tuesday, saving them $2.2 million against the salary cap, according to sources.

Terrelle Pryor To Sign With Bills

Free-agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor is traveling to Buffalo with intentions to sign with the Bills, according to a source.

Seahawks Release Brandon Marshall

The Seattle Seahawks released veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall on Tuesday, according to a source.

Marshall had 11 catches on 23 […]

Texans Inquire About Phillip Dorsett

The Houston Texans have called about New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, but it doesn't sound like there has been much progress on a potential trade, according to a source.

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is "highly unlikely" to be traded by the deadline on Tuesday, Oct. 30, according to a league source.

Red Sox Exercise Chris Sale's Option

The Boston Red Sox predictably exercised starting pitcher Chris Sale's $13.5 million option for the 2019 season on Tuesday. Sale was once again one of the best pitchers in all of baseball in 2018, although left shoulder issues slowed him considerably at the end of the year. The southpaw went 12-4 with a 2.11 ERA, […]

A.J. Green Expected To Be Fine

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) is in a walking boot as a precautionary measure and is expected to be fine when the team returns from their bye in Week 10, according to a source.

The Houston Texans are finalizing a deal to acquire wide receiver Demaryius Thomas from the Denver Broncos in exchange for a mid-round pick, according to sources.
