To make room on the 40-man roster for the recent signing of right-hander Marcus Stroman, the New York Yankees designated outfielder Oscar Gonzalez for assignment on Wednesday.

Aaron Rodgers Finishes Year Strong At Practice

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) lead the way during "competition" periods of the team's late-season practices.

"It's like watching […]

George Kittle On Track To Play Against Packers

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (back) and wide receiver Danny Gray (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday for the second straight day this week.

Aaron Jones Limited Again In Wednesday's Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (finger, knee) remained limited in the team's practice on Wednesday.

In fact, not only did he score three touchdowns in the surprising wild-card win […]

Ravens Waive Melvin Gordon III

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Wednesday that they have waived running back Melvin Gordon III. Gordon's departure makes room on the active roster for Dalvin Cook, who could be a pretty big part of Baltimore's backfield as they look for more production in the postseason next to Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. The 30-year-old Gordon […]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) and Justyn Ross (hamstring) were both listed as limited for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Kalif Raymond Still Missing From Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (knee) was missing from the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Chase Edmonds Picks Up DNP For Walkthrough

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (toe) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

The 27-year-old had seven […]
