Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks wouldn't commit to who rookie quarterback Josh Rosen's backup will be heading into Week 4 against the Seahawks.

Brent Grimes Playing Against Steelers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) is active in Week 3 against the Steelers on Monday night.

Rookie running back Ronald Jones III remains a healthy scratch, while rookie […]

David DeCastro, Marcus Gilbert Out Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard David DeCastro (hand) and offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) are both inactive in Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Monday night.

Chad Bettis Lined Up To Start Tuesday

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said pitcher Chad Bettis is the probable starter for Tuesday against the Phillies after the team pushed Tyler Anderson (shoulder) back.

James Paxton Will Be On Pitch Count Monday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) will be limited to around 70 to 75 pitches in his return on Monday against the A's.

Trevor Story To Return To Lineup Monday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) will be in the starting lineup against the Phillies on Monday after missing five games with right elbow soreness.

Justin Jackson Added To Active Roster

The Los Angeles Chargers signed rookie running back Justin Jackson to the active roster from the practice squad and waived running back Detrez Newsome in a corresponding move. Jackson was a seventh-round pick and will back up Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler. Jackson won't have any immediate fantasy value.

49ers To Work Out Tom Savage

The San Francisco 49ers are bringing in free-agent quarterback Tom Savage for a workout on Monday, according to a source.

LeSean McCoy To Be Day-To-Day This Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) is progressing well and will be day-to-day this week.
