Kolton Miller Opening As First-Team Left Tackle

Oakland Raiders rookie left tackle Kolton Miller has opened training camp as the first-team left tackle. It wouldn't be a surprise if Miller remains there through the end of camp, too. With veteran Donald Penn injured, Miller has taken the spot and could very easily run with it. Oakland's offensive line remains strong, which is […]

Lamar Miller Down To 217 Pounds

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller said he's down to 217 pounds, which is the lightest he's played at since he was with the Dolphins. He's hoping he can be more explosive this year after posting a career-worst 3.7 yards per carry in 2017. Miller was a fantasy disappointment last year, but with D'Onta Foreman […]

Trent Williams, Morgan Moses Taking Part In Team Drills

Washington Redskins offensive tackles Trent Williams (knee) and Morgan Moses (ankle) both took part in 11-on-11 drills on Friday, which is a great sign.

Danny Amendola Working With First Unit

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola worked with the first unit alongside Devante Parker and Kenny Stills in the first training camp practice, which left Albert Wilson to mostly work with the second unit.

Phillip Dorsett Working Inside For Pats

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett worked inside during training camp practice on Thursday, which is a new role for him.

Odds Are Good That Adam Jones Will Be Traded

A source familiar with talks said the odds are "55-45" that Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones will be traded before the deadline on Tuesday. The Indians and Phillies both have interest in Jones, and he'd most likely move to right field for either team. The main obstacle might be Jones' 10-and-5 service-time rights, which give […]

Carlos Rodon Attracting A Lot Of Interest

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon is attracting a lot of trade interest with his high-90s fastball. The White Sox might be willing to listen on Rodon, but the lefty is under team control through 2021 and they likely view him as part of the rebuilding process. He's been great recently and holds a […]

Jake Faria Making Fifth Rehab Start Friday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jake Faria (oblique) will make his fifth rehab start and fourth with Triple-A Durham on Friday. He is 0-1 with a 6.97 ERA so far on his rehab assignment.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) played catch on Thursday and plans to increase the intensity and distance the next two days before throwing a bullpen session on Sunday.

New York Mets pitcher Corey Oswalt was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday to make room for starting pitcher Jason Vargas to come off the disabled list and start on Friday.

Brewers Continue To Talk Matt Harvey

The Milwaukee Brewers are in "ongoing" talks for Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Matt Harvey, according to a source. Harvey has been better since leaving the Mets, but he's still nothing to write home about with his 4.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 6.8 K/9 over 13 starts. A move to a contending team could help him […]

Sonny Gray Expects To Make Next Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Sonny Gray (thumb) "fully expects" to make his next start next week against the Orioles after being hit by a comebacker on his thumb Thursday.

Aaron Judge Going For MRI, CT Scan

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's (hand) X-rays were inconclusive, so he is now going for an MRI exam and CT scan, according to manager Aaron Boone. This doesn't look good, but we'll have to wait for more results. Judge was hitting .283 coming into Thursday with 26 home runs, 61 RBI and six stolen […]

Deon Cain Stands Out On Day 1

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Deon Cain, a sixth-round pick, caught everything thrown his way in practice on Thursday and continues to show his talent. “His talent would probably be a higher round than we got him,” scouting director Morocco Brown offered back in May after Cain went 185th overall in the draft. “That was what […]

He also rushed through a big hole […]

Anthony Miller Standing Out

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller was a standout in practice on Thursday, showing off his strong hands and catching a touchdown, and he's building a case to be the starting slot receiver. However, he could still move around quite a bit in head coach Matt Nagy's offense. “It’s a really big part of […]

Jordan Reed Feeling Much Better

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toe) said he feels like himself this year after dealing with pain ever since last training camp.
