The 24-year-old wasn't able to finish practice and may now be in […]

Bryce Young May Not Appear In The Preseason

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that there's a chance that second-year quarterback Bryce Young won't play in any preseason games. There is value in having Young work with new center Austin Corbett, but the Panthers are still weighing the decision. It seems like an odd decision for a 23-year-old that struggled mightily in […]

Texans Starting Offense Expected To Play In Second Preseason Game

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said that his first-team offense will play in the team's second preseason game this Friday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sixto Sanchez Continues To Throw Bullpens

Miami Marlins right-hander Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) continues to build intensity with his throwing and bullpen sessions.

Because of his history with shoulder injuries, the […]

Jesus Luzardo Won't Throw For Another Six Weeks

Miami Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo (back) won't throw for another six weeks. Nothing is certain yet, but this news increases the likelihood that we won't see Luzardo pitch in the big leagues again this year. He's been working on strengthening his arm since last month but hasn't been able to throw at all since initially […]

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard, who received a four-year, $44 million contract before the 2023 season, is off to a promising start in training camp this summer after posting just 23 catches last year.

Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears Listed As Co-Starters

The Tennessee Titans have running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears listed as co-starters at the position on their first unofficial depth chart of training camp that was released on Monday.

Za'Darius Smith Suffers Knee Contusion

Cleveland Browns defensive end Za'Darius Smith (knee) left practice at training camp on Monday after suffering a knee contusion and will be re-evaluated on Tuesday morning.

Mason Rudolph Impressing In Competition For Backup Role

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph has looked very comfortable and has been remarkably accurate as he battles Malik Willis for the No. 2 QB role behind Will Levis in training camp this summer. Willis has improved and looks more comfortable than he's ever been, but Rudolph hasn't left a crack in the door for Willis […]
