Free-agent wide receiver Jordan Matthews is visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, according to a source.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who was acquired from the Patriots on Tuesday, has already been working with quarterback Jared Goff this offseason.

The Los Angeles Rams plan to sign newly-acquired wide receiver Brandin Cooks to a contract extension before the regular season starts, according to a team source.

Parker Bridwell To Start Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Parker Bridwell will take the mound in a start against the A's on Friday in the absence of Matt Shoemaker.

Jordan Reed Had Surgery On Toes

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said tight end Jordan Reed (toes) had a "procedure done on his toes... hopefully we'll see a 100 percent healthy Jordan by training camp."

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the team is close to agreeing to a contract extension with franchise quarterback Matt Ryan.

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (toe) is being listed as day-to-day by manager A.J. Hinch after he was removed from the game early on Tuesday.

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson's draft stock appears to be on the rise, and it's now hard to imagine him falling out of the first round, according to Yahoo Sports' Jordan Schultz.
